Chapter 132 Grandma isn't my biological grandma, and Dad isn't my biological dad either.
"Tie Mei, listen to me, Grandma isn't my real grandma, and Dad isn't my real dad. We, three generations of our family, are not one family at all!"
Your surname is Chen, my surname is Li, and your father's surname is Zhang!
"Huh? Grandma isn't my biological grandma? Dad isn't my biological dad? Then—then who are we?"
"Tie Mei, we are revolutionaries! Your father sacrificed himself for the revolution, and your grandmother raised you for the revolution. Although we don't share the same surname, our hearts are connected!"

The hotel TV was on, and a nostalgic classic program was playing the old model opera "The Red Lantern".
If it were in the past, Ye Kai might have said, "This screenwriter is really talking nonsense."
But now—
"This is absolutely outrageous! Is this what they mean by 'ideals becoming reality'?"
Thinking about what he had experienced today, Ye Kai's admiration for the screenwriter was beyond measure.
That's right.
His meeting with Feng Yuqiu today finally cleared up many of the mysteries in his life.
Ye Kai's life is just like a scene from the opera "The Red Lantern". His grandmother is not his biological grandmother, his father is not his biological father, and only his mother Feng Yuqiu, whom he has hated for decades, is real.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Thinking of what Feng Yuqiu had said to him, Ye Kai still couldn't shake off the feeling.
Feng Yuqiu left when he was three years old. Ye Kai's impression of his mother had long been very faint. Occasionally, when he met her in his dreams, she was just a very vague figure.
If it weren't for the family photo from back then, Ye Kai really wouldn't have been able to recognize her at first glance.
That's right. Although Feng Yuqiu left him and was gone for a full fifteen years, Ye Kai was filled with hatred for this heartless mother. But at certain times, he couldn't help but fantasize about having a complete family.
However, after each fantasy, there was only an even stronger hatred.
The level of this hatred only diminished after it was reiterated.
We've lived our lives again, so what is there that we can't let go of?
He only has the body of an eighteen-year-old, but not the mental age of an eighteen-year-old.
Otherwise, his meeting with Feng Yuqiu today would have been nothing more than a chaotic farce, rather than a quiet meeting where he could sit down and listen to her recount the inside story.
However, the reunion of mother and son had to be arranged by Lü Qingqing, a third party, which shows that Madam Huo's situation was not as comfortable as one might imagine.
Thinking of what Feng Yuqiu had told him, Ye Kai's brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Grandma, I saw Feng Yuqiu today."
After half-smoking and half-wasting half a pack of cigarettes, Ye Kai finally called his grandmother, Xu Jingyuan.
"I knew it."
"This day will come the moment you apply to a university in Beijing."
Professor Xu had obviously thought of this long ago, and he wasn't surprised at all when he heard Ye Kai's words.
After saying this, Professor Xu visibly sighed on the phone.
Having known each other for so many years, Professor Xu had long regarded Ye Kai as his own grandson. If nothing unexpected happened, the relationship between the two would last a lifetime.
After Ye Kai's father, Ye Huanzhen, passed away, Feng Yuqiu had grand ambitions and his fate was uncertain. He had no choice but to entrust his three-year-old son, Ye Kai, to Xu Jingyuan for upbringing, which was essentially a way of entrusting his orphan to Xu Jingyuan.
Due to various concerns, Xu Jingyuan dared not tell Ye Kai the truth.
Fifteen years have passed, and Ye Kai has grown from a clueless toddler into an adult about to enter Peking University. The estrangement between mother and son that has developed during this time is not something that can be easily bridged.
Even a highly respected elder like Xu Jingyuan was deeply worried about this, unsure how to explain it to Ye Kai.
Now that Ye Kai has set foot in the capital, he has finally alarmed Feng Yuqiu.
"You two shouldn't have met so soon."
"Your mother must have found the pain of missing you unbearable to take such a huge risk and secretly met with you."
"Sigh, I don't know what to say."
Thinking about all the complicated relationships involved, Professor Xu's emotions were also somewhat mixed, and he couldn't sort things out for the time being.
"I'll take care of these things myself."
"Grandma, you don't need to worry about these things for us. Just do what you're supposed to do, produce more academic results, and mentor a few apprentices. Wouldn't that be nice?"
Ye Kai advised Xu Jingyuan not to worry about so many things. For an elderly person like her, it would be better to live a quiet and peaceful life, and she had no reason to bear troubles that did not belong to her.
"Why don't you call me Professor Xu anymore, kid?"
"Hearing you call me 'Grandma' all the time suddenly makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
Xu Jingyuan suddenly realized this and couldn't help but say it with a hint of reproach.
"This is my fault."
"First, I listened to Feng Yuqiu talk about old stories for two hours, then I learned about the complicated relationships in our family. In addition, I was a little dazed by the connections and relationships involved in this matter."
"After returning to the hotel, I watched 'The Red Lantern' for more than half an hour, which was quite a coincidence."
"So I guess I was influenced by the storyline, which is why I keep calling you 'Grandma,' doesn't it sound more affectionate than when I call you 'Professor Xu'?"
Ye Kai rubbed his temples and suddenly realized this as well.
He was unaware of his relationship with Professor Xu, yet he addressed him as "Professor Xu" with great affection, which is probably what a harmonious relationship between grandfather and grandson looks like.
But now that he has suddenly learned the truth about their family, if he doesn't even call her "Grandma," then he will seem heartless.
After all, Professor Xu raised him, a person with no blood relation, from infancy to adulthood.
Professor Xu's contributions to his growth were not only time-consuming, but also involved a great deal of unseen effort.
This kind of kindness is far more profound than what many biological grandmothers would give.
"Just let things take their course."
"No matter what you shout, it cannot change the fact that we have had a grandfather-grandson relationship for fifteen years."
Professor Xu clearly understood this as well, and smiled as he comforted Ye Kaidao.
"What are your plans for the future?"
After a brief pause, Professor Xu couldn't help but ask his grandson a question.
Ye Kai is no longer a child. Especially after Professor Xu learned about the marketing campaign he spearheaded for the milk tea shop and the things he did for Shen Jiayi, she realized that the child she had taken such good care of back then had completely grown up.
"What are your plans?"
"The other side's power is too great. I know my own limitations, so I can only play it safe for a while and accumulate enough strength first."
"When the time is right, we will naturally settle scores and seek revenge."
Ye Kai did some mental calculations and realized that if he didn't have assets worth hundreds of billions, he wouldn't even have the chance to challenge others.
The road ahead is long and arduous.
