CHAPTER 275: CHAPTER 275 ORIGINAL SIN 84

But at this moment, recognition from a wise, experienced elderly man finally erased the persistent inferiority and shadow in Yun Shuangshuang’s heart! It also allowed Yun Shuangshuang to finally let go of her long-standing resentment about her own origins!

Song Chengdong watched Yun Shuangshuang’s expression shift from anger, to confusion, to clarity, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

In his heart, a talented child like Yun Shuangshuang should not be shackled by her birth; she should not feel inferior or guilty over something that wasn’t her fault.

With everything laid bare, Song Chengdong unraveled a knot in her heart that had been bound for two lifetimes, making Yun Shuangshuang truly feel a sense of facing an elder! Yun Shuangshuang even hoped in her heart, how wonderful it would be to have such a grandfather or grandfather-in-law.

Now, Yun Shuangshuang could effortlessly call him Grandpa Song, naturally and intimately, completely without feeling awkward or embarrassed. As for her relation to Song Lian, at most they could be considered acquaintances. After all, she wasn’t doing something she hadn’t done before, like calling Professor Zhang "grandma," Zhao Ying "sister," and being called "sister" by Qiangqiang; there’s no blood connection, so she could afford to be informal.

It must be said that the initial awkwardness Yun Shuangshuang felt when calling Song Chengdong was entirely due to their unfamiliarity. Once she got to know him, she called him Grandpa Song with such warmth, and Song Chengdong responded just as pleasantly.

This time, Song Chengdong asked again if Yun Shuangshuang needed help, and Yun Shuangshuang straightforwardly said she did, really needed it!

That evening, Yun Shuangshuang treated Song Chengdong to a meal and introduced her mother, Feng Jinyan, to him. Feng Jinyan was also the head of a company, now managing a vast enterprise, Red Dust. Her social skills were exceptional, and Song Chengdong had a fondness for Yun Shuangshuang, so he had a favorable impression of Feng Jinyan by extension. By the end of the meal, Song Chengdong seemed to view Feng Jinyan as one of the younger generation.

Yun Shuangshuang specially arranged a separate courtyard for Song Chengdong, stating that it would henceforth be his exclusive space, no longer open to other guests! Song Chengdong gladly accepted and moved in, visibly pleased.

With Song Chengdong’s intervention, the matter that had troubled Yun Shuangshuang for who knows how long was resolved in just three days.

Yun Shuangshuang sat in her room, holding a thick stack of documents, all containing information about the people Feng Jinyan had access to!

Song Chengdong didn’t directly tell Yun Shuangshuang who was Feng Jinyan’s enemy, but he investigated the privacy of everyone around Feng Jinyan thoroughly! This was enough for Yun Shuangshuang to analyze and figure out who was harming her mother.

According to the information Song Chengdong provided, her mother Feng Jinyan had remarkably good personal relationships, making it almost inconceivable that she would have any enemies, let alone one who would resort to such malicious means to harm her.

Yun Shuangshuang carefully reviewed the documents and information in her hand, systematically eliminating those who might have harmed Feng Jinyan, until finally, the name that caught her eye was a woman named Liu Zhen!

This woman was Liu Cheng’s sister, and Yun Shuangshuang was very familiar with her, because besides being Liu Cheng’s sister, she was also a famous actress, a popular star with a huge following.

In her past life, Yun Shuangshuang hadn’t had much interaction with Liu Zhen, because every time Liu Zhen saw her, she acted with a high-and-mighty indifference, treating Feng Jinyan with a cold attitude. Apart from that, she was especially close to Liu Man Ni!

It was said that after Feng Jinyan disappeared, it was the famous star Liu Zhen who took care of Liu Man Ni, and Liu Zhen was someone who did not marry for the sake of her career. So she had always lived together with her brother Liu Cheng.

Being raised by Liu Zhen, Liu Man Ni had always been the closest to her, considering Liu Zhen as her mother, to the extent that she had completely replaced Feng Jinyan in Liu Man Ni’s heart.

Conversely, Feng Jinyan, the biological mother, seemed to Liu Man Ni like an outsider disrupting her family. The most common thing Liu Man Ni would say to Feng Jinyan was, "Why did you come back? We were living just fine as a family; you’re just an intruding third wheel!"

When eating meals, Liu Man Ni would always push Feng Jinyan aside, insisting that Liu Zhen sit with her and Liu Cheng, as if they were a family of three, openly excluding Feng Jinyan. At such times, although Liu Cheng would speak up for Feng Jinyan, he would be helpless whenever Liu Man Ni began to cry and make a fuss.

Originally, Yun Shuangshuang had no idea why Liu Man Ni harbored such aversion to her biological mother while constantly advocating the idea that Aunt Liu Zhen, her father Liu Cheng, and herself were a family of three. But after reviewing the detailed information provided by Song Chengdong, Yun Shuangshuang finally untangled the threads.

Because Liu Zhen was in love with her brother Liu Cheng! It seemed that she had an almost pathological infatuation with her brother Liu Cheng! Liu Zhen even attempted suicide to force Liu Cheng to marry her!

At first, when Yun Shuangshuang saw this information, she was shocked, thinking it was a family drama. Who would have imagined, as she read further, that although Liu Zhen and Liu Cheng were siblings in name, they actually had no blood relation!

Liu Cheng’s father and Liu Zhen’s father were friends, and coincidentally they both shared the surname Liu, considering each other brothers as a jest among them, so they decided their families would treat each other as one.

Later, Liu Cheng’s father went to work at his own family’s company, while Liu Zhen’s father started his own business. After both men married and established families, their interactions became more frequent. At the time, their wives became pregnant one after another, leading to the births of Liu Cheng and Liu Zhen!

When they were children, the parents jokingly talked about arranging a child marriage for Liu Cheng and Liu Zhen, claiming that getting them married would perfectly continue the family line.

Those were just jokes among the adults, but the young Liu Cheng and Liu Zhen took it seriously. Liu Cheng would always call Liu Zhen his little wife, constantly protecting her, and in Liu Zhen’s young heart, she fixed upon Liu Cheng as her future husband, always clinging to him.

Later, Liu Zhen’s parents went bankrupt due to poor business decisions, and being driven to desperation, they committed suicide by jumping off a building. Out of respect for their relationship, Liu Cheng’s parents took Liu Zhen in as their foster daughter!

At that time, having just lost her parents, Liu Zhen clung closely to the only familiar person, Liu Cheng. Liu Cheng, meanwhile, still saw himself as Liu Zhen’s future husband in those days, caring for her in every way possible. Gradually, this instilled in young, tender Liu Zhen a kind of affection for Liu Cheng, who was always protecting her and claiming to be her future husband.
