Chapter 1097: Su Chen's True Origins
After hanging up the phone, Su Chen didn't delay and immediately drove to Su Jin's residence, as it was already evening.
Driving on the streets of Yandu, his heart was filled with confusion; what could his aunt possibly want from him?
He felt that Su Jin wouldn't just want to have a simple meal today!
But even after thinking all the way, he still couldn't figure out what his aunt Su Jin wanted to talk to him about.
Forget it, when I get there, I'll know.
Su Chen drove for twenty or thirty minutes and arrived at Su Jin's estate!
He had been there many times and naturally went straight in, arriving at a hall.
"You're here."
Seeing him, Su Jin smiled and said, her eyes filled with a doting gaze.
"Aunt, I'm sorry, I've been so busy lately that I haven't come to see you!"
Su Chen said somewhat apologetically.
"Alright, I know you've been surrounded by women, where would you find time to deal with your aunt!"
Su Jin glanced at him, teasingly said with a laugh.
"Aunt, I..."
Su Chen heard this and felt a bit embarrassed.
"Enough, I'll just emphasize one thing. I don't care how many women you have, but if you dare treat Ruoxue badly and make her suffer, I won't let you off lightly!"
Su Jin warned, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"How could that be, aunt, rest assured, I'll treat Ruoxue well for a lifetime!"
Upon hearing Su Jin's words, Su Chen immediately chuckled and said.
"That's more like it."
Su Jin nodded, and then said:
"Alright, it's about time, let's go eat in the pavilion."
After saying this, Su Jin stood up and went outside, naturally accompanied by Su Chen.
Though puzzled by Su Jin's purpose for calling him over, he didn't impatiently ask.
On the way, they chatted casually, asking each other about their recent lives.
After walking for a while, they reached the artificial lake's edge, where willow branches swayed and lotus leaves connected, very beautiful!
Then the two walked onto the wooden bridge and entered the pavilion at the center of the lake.
It was midsummer, and the evening breeze was blowing softly, bringing great comfort!
On the purple sandalwood table in the pavilion, seven or eight exquisite dishes were already laid out, along with a pot of sake!
"Xiao Chen, when you have time, bring your women over and let your aunt have a look."
After sitting down, Su Jin said.
Nowadays, Su Jin had become completely accustomed to calling him by his name, Su Chen.
"Alright, aunt."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately agreed, as Su Jin was his only elder, he should bring them to meet her.
"Alright, stop dawdling and eat."
Su Jin instructed, picking up the wine pot intending to pour wine for Su Chen.
How could he let her do it? He hurriedly took it over and poured them each a cup.
They ate the dishes while drinking wine, also enjoying the beautiful scenery; before long, half an hour passed and they had drunk two or three cups of wine.
Of course, the cups were very small, with a small amount in each.
"Do you know why your aunt asked you to come alone today?"
Su Jin looked at Su Chen and suddenly spoke.
Su Chen also looked at Su Jin, and said:
"I think my aunt has something to say to me alone, right?"
"Yes, indeed, there is something to say to you."
Su Jin drank the wine in her cup in one go, then said earnestly:
"Actually, ever since I met you, I've always wanted to say it, but... kept hesitating until now."
"But after much thought, I feel you have the right to know and should know."
Upon hearing Su Jin's words, Su Chen's heart suddenly sank!
From the moment we met, you've always wanted to say it?
Su Chen immediately realized that whatever Aunt Su Jin wanted to tell him wasn't simple!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have hesitated from the time she met him until now!
But what special matter could she have to tell him?
"Your aunt never told you because she feared you couldn't handle it, so she hopes you can be strong after hearing it!"
Su Jin looked at Su Chen and said with great seriousness.
Su Jin's expression made Su Chen feel even more uncertain, but he still nodded and said:
"Aunt, just say it, no matter what it is, I can accept it."
Su Jin also nodded, remained silent for several seconds, then finally spoke with difficulty:
"Xiao Chen, actually, my brother and sister-in-law, your parents, are not your biological parents!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Chen's head suddenly buzzed, as if struck by a thunderbolt out of the blue!
"Aunt, you said..."
Su Chen was completely stunned, totally dumbfounded!
He predicted that what Aunt Su Jin had to say today wouldn't be simple, but in his wildest dreams, he never thought her opening words would be this!
How could this be?
"Xiao Chen, are you okay?"
Seeing Su Chen's state, Su Jin was immediately flustered and hurriedly held his hand to ask.
But she found Su Chen's hand was almost ice cold!
This scared Su Jin even more!
She had always feared Su Chen wouldn't be able to accept the truth!
"Aunt, I'm fine."
Seeing Su Jin's frightened look, Su Chen calmed down a bit, though his mind was still buzzing!
"You scared your aunt."
Su Jin felt relieved hearing him speak.
"Are you really okay?"
Su Jin still asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, aunt."
Su Chen gently held Su Jin's hand:
"Aunt, go on, what's going on?"
"Forget it, let's talk next time. Just get a good rest here first."
Su Jin said, although Su Chen had calmed down, she could feel his hand was still ice cold!
"Aunt, it's okay, go ahead, I can take it."
Su Chen smiled slightly and gently said:
"Besides, aunt, do you think I can rest peacefully now?"
Although Aunt Su Jin's words just struck him like a thunderbolt, unbelievably, he knew she wouldn't say such things lightly.
"Actually, my sister-in-law, your mother, cannot conceive."
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Su Jin continued:
"You were found by her."
"Do you know why your mother named you 'Xiao Tian'?"
Su Jin looked at Su Chen and asked.
Su Chen shook his head and listened to Su Jin continue.
"Because she felt you were the greatest gift from heaven, so she named you 'Xiao Tian'."
"But hold on, aunt, if I'm not my mother's biological child, how come no one else knows? After all, women give birth after ten months of pregnancy; it's hard to hide."
Su Chen asked puzzledly.
Although this news hit Su Chen like a bolt from the blue, his instincts kept his mind sharp, immediately spotting areas that didn't quite add up.
