Chapter 158: The Legitimate Son's True Origins

Xiang Xiang Junzheng, his face full of disgust, yanked at the sleeve tightly grasped by Jun Jun Yiyi; after several tugs, he finally pulled the sleeve from her grip, his tone so icy it seemed capable of forming ice shards:

"If you had known how to restrain yourself, how could it have come to this!

Jun Jun Yiyi knew the situation was beyond saving; hatred surged through her heart like a tidal wave. She let out a cold snort, turned, and walked away.

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin and Jun Jun Shuyan exchanged smiles.

Looking at Jun Jun Yiyi's retreating figure, a complex emotion flashed in Jun Chengcai's eyes. The current situation was as clear as a mirror to everyone's mind; only Jun Jun Yiyi had drilled herself into a dead end.

But Jun Jun Yiyi would listen to no one's words; what could he do?

Yet she was, after all, his own twin sister; he could not simply ignore her. Jun Chengcai sighed and decided to find Jun Jun Yiyi for a proper talk.

Jun Jun Yiyi, her heart full of indignation, rushed back to her own courtyard, kicked the door open with one foot. The maids inside were terrified, trembling, and knelt on the ground one after another, daring not to make a single sound.

She casually snatched a vase from the table and smashed it hard onto the floor. "Crash!" The shards scattered in all directions; the crisp sound of breaking was especially grating in the silent night.

"Why! Why!" Jun Jun Yiyi roared hysterically, tears bursting forth uncontrollably from her eyes.

She was clearly the most outstanding daughter of the Jun family, the number one talented lady of Jingcheng; it was all because that vile woman Seeing Jun Jun Zijin had returned and snatched everything away from her. Why?

Jun Jun Yiyi's chest heaved violently as she gasped for air in great, ragged breaths.

"You bunch of bastards, just wait and see! I will make sure you die without a place to be buried!"

Jun Jun Yiyi was like a mad, trapped beast in the room, smashing things frantically. The room was in complete disarray, with shards of vases and ornaments scattered all over the floor.

She suddenly lifted her head and saw Jun Chengcai standing quietly outside the door. Anger flared even more intensely in Jun Jun Yiyi's eyes. Without a second thought, she grabbed a teacup, used all her strength to hurl it at Jun Chengcai, and screamed hysterically:

"Get out!

Jun Chengcai sidestepped to dodge. He stood outside the door, attempting to soothe her.

"Jun Yiyi, calm down first.

At this moment, hatred surged through Jun Jun Yiyi's heart, almost drowning her; how could she possibly listen to a single word? Her eyes were so red they seemed ready to drip blood as she screamed at Jun Chengcai with a voice hoarse from shouting:

"Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down? Now I have nothing left! It's all been snatched away by you vile people."

Jun Chengcai sighed helplessly, his eyes full of complexity and heartache, and explained patiently:

"Jun Yiyi, your previous actions were far too rash; this outcome is your own doing. The Jun Manor is now in a dangerous situation; a single misstep could bring ruin upon the entire family."

Hearing these words, Jun Jun Yiyi's fury shot to the top of her head with a "Zeng!" She gritted her teeth, her hand pointing at Jun Chengcai trembled, and she roared, enunciating every word:

"What do you know? It was all that vile woman Seeing Jun Jun Zijin who ruined me! You truly are Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's brother and sister, always speaking up for her. You are now the son of that vile woman Fang Fang Mengru; aren't you particularly happy in your heart? Even Zhou Shi and that vile woman Jun Jun Shuyan are now riding on top of my head. And you actually think it's my fault. Get out~~!"

Facing Jun Jun Yiyi's insults, Jun Chengcai's face turned slightly pale. He took a deep breath, his tone remaining calm, and tried to make Jun Jun Yiyi face reality:

"Jun Yiyi, do not let hatred blind your eyes any longer. Jun Zijin certainly has her methods, but if you had not been so single-mindedly bent on fighting for superiority, how could you have fallen into such a plight? They..."

"Shut up! Do not mention that vile woman!"

Jun Jun Yiyi screamed, cutting off Jun Chengcai, and casually snatched another cup to hurl at him.

This time, Jun Chengcai did not dodge. He simply stood there quietly, watching helplessly as the teacup rushed rapidly toward him.

"Thud!" A dull sound rang out as the teacup struck Jun Chengcai's forehead solidly. Bright red blood slid down his sharply defined cheek, drop by drop, staining his plain-colored clothes and blooming into strange, eerie blood flowers that looked especially shocking in the dim light.

Seeing this, Jun Jun Yiyi laughed maniacally:

"This is the consequence of your betrayal. Do you think you are still the legitimate eldest son of before? Now you are nothing but a pitiful wretch living under someone else's roof. I tell you, I will not let you have a good time."

Jun Chengcai clutched his forehead, blood constantly seeping through the gaps in his fingers. His eyes were full of heartache, as if what was hurt was not his body, but his heart, riddled with countless holes.

He opened his mouth, as if wanting to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

Just then, with a "Bang!", the door was slammed shut by Jun Jun Yiyi, cutting Jun Chengcai off outside.

He stood there, stunned for quite a while, before slowly turning around and stumbling toward Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's residence.

Along the way, passing servants, seeing his wretched appearance, all turned their heads to look, whispering quietly.

Some showed surprise on their faces; some had a hint of sympathy flashing in their eyes, but most felt fear and curiosity.

Jun Chengcai was completely unaware of this. His mind was in chaos; his heart was solely focused on finding Seeing Jun Jun Zijin as quickly as possible, as if only with her would he feel even a little bit of stability.

Finally, he arrived at Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's courtyard. At this moment, Seeing Jun Jun Zijin was sitting by the stove fire, leisurely flipping through an ancient book.

Seeing Jun Chengcai in such a state, she frowned slightly and hurriedly rose to meet him:

"Brother, what happened? How did you get hurt like this?"

While speaking, Seeing Jun Jun Zijin carefully helped Jun Chengcai sit down, her movements gentle, afraid of hurting him.

After settling Jun Chengcai, she did not waste a single moment; she turned and went to fetch the medicine box to treat Jun Chengcai's wound. Applying medicine and bandaging, every step was done with meticulous care, instantly warming Jun Chengcai's cold heart.

Just as she had finished applying the medicine to Jun Chengcai and was preparing to pack up the medicine box, a black shadow appeared like lightning; Feiying revealed himself.

Seeing Jun Chengcai there, he paused for a second, then quickly walked over to Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's side, bent down, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's face instantly showed an expression of surprise. She raised her head, her gaze carrying a mix of shock and confusion, and looked at Jun Chengcai.

Jun Chengcai, not understanding the reason, looked at Seeing Jun Jun Zijin's unusual expression, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

His heartbeat involuntarily accelerated; the "thump, thump, thump" sound was especially clear in the silent room, and a nameless panic spread through his heart.

He could no longer hold back and couldn't help but ask:

"What exactly is wrong? What did Feiying say?"

Seeing Jun Jun Zijin hesitated for a moment, a trace of struggle flashing in her eyes. Once this news was spoken, it might bring a huge shock to Jun Chengcai.

In the end, she still decided to tell Jun Chengcai what had happened:

"Feiying overheard Jun Jun Yiyi talking to herself; it seems to be related to your true origins."
