Rebirth from the Ashes Chapter 555 - Yu Yuanxi Is Xixi’s Brother

Chapter 555: Yu Yuanxi Is Xixi’s Brother

Yu Yuanxi was doing all right with his granny. Although it was not the most comfortable life, he was happy.
Faced with his silence, Yun Jinping was perturbed. Why was she so stupid to not recognize her son who had been right in front of her? With that in mind, she wept uncontrollably, feeling devastated by the harrowing sadness.
Yu Yuanxi gazed at her heartbrokenly, at a loss of what to do. “Mrs. Shen, don’t say so.”
His silence was only because he was caught in the moment to figure out how to deal with or accept this newfound fact. He was not at all begrudging or resentful toward her.
Yu Yuanxi always believed that she was a warm and nice person.
He had always imagined his mother to be as gentle and kind as her if he had one.
Yet now, he was overwhelmed with emotions to face his relationship with her, now that she turned out to be his birth mother.
Yun Jinping’s heart sank to be addressed as Mrs. Shen. However, she knew that she had to give him time to accept the fate that they were family. “Lil’ Yu, you really are Zhifei, my son. The birthmark on your chest – I can show you pictures of when you were young when we get back. If you don’t believe me, we can wait for your granny and dad to come over here for a DNA test.”
Yu Yuanxi was nervous. “Mrs. Shen, it’s not that I don’t believe you. I believe you.”
He had a feeling. It was a feeling he never had before since the first time they met. At that time, Yu Yuanxi only thought she looked friendly, but come to think of it now, it was probably the blood bond.
“Mom, don’t cry.” With the lost Yu Yuanxi looking at Shen Xi with pleading eyes, Shen Xi kneeled and wiped away Yun Jinping’s tears. “It’s a great thing we found Big Brother.”
It was not like Mom deliberately abandoned him, so Shen Xi trusted Yu Yuanxi would not blame her. The sudden change was simply hard to swallow.
For Shen Xi to call him a brother so naturally and with the right amount of intimacy, it brought them closer together.
Yu Yuanxi felt all cozy inside by the word “Brother”. Lighter in mood, he gazed at Yun Jinping and needed time to adjust to the new term. He let out a tender smile. “Xixi’s right.”
“I’ll stop, I’ll stop crying.” Yun Jinping might tell herself so, but it was not like she could turn off the waterworks after finding her long-lost son. She was not crying because she was upset, but because she was overjoyed and thrilled.
“Mom, Brother can’t leave just yet with the shoot still going on. I’ll call Dad so he can make it here before nightfall.” Shen Xi then turned to Yu Yuanxi. “Brother, can Granny Yu come over?”
This was not a small matter. Granny Yu had to know since she was the one who raised him.
Yu Yuanxi nodded. “I’ll call my granny.”
Shen Xi grinned. “Sure.”
Yu Yuanxi called home, but the phone was answered by a familiar female voice instead of his granny. “Are you done with your work schedule?”
“Yes.” Chewing on food, Song Wenye babbled inarticulately. “You must be looking for Granny. She went to give dumplings to the neighbors but she should be back soon.”
Judging by her voice, Yu Yuanxi could imagine her with a mouthful of food like a little hamster. His lips curled into a smile. “How long is your break?”
Song Wenye ate and talked, “One day. I have to fly to S city tomorrow afternoon. Has Xixi and Mrs. Shen left from visiting you?”
Turning to glance at the duo a short distance away, Yu Yuanxi shook his head. “No. Something came up.”
Song Wenye spoke aloud, “What? What happened?”
Yu Yuanxi replied, “Is that Granny? I can hear the door.”
Song Wenye was on pins and needles. “Tell me first. What happened to Mrs. Shen and Xixi?”
Yu Yuanxi explained, “Nothing. Don’t worry. I’m just looking for Granny.”
It still did not put Song Wenye’s mind at rest since he was known to report only the good news and not the bad. Something huge must have occurred. Reluctantly, she handed the phone over to Granny Yu.
Although Song Wenye wanted to listen in when Granny took the call, this was not proper or polite. Having lost her appetite, she put down the chopsticks and waited for Granny Yu to finish the call.
Granny Yu was unable to keep a still expression throughout the call. The news that Yun Jinping was Yu Yuanxi’s biological mother brought tears to her eyes. “Alright, alright. I got it. This is a good thing. I knew you were a blessed child. You’ve been through a lot with me but everything will only get better from here.”
The Shen family had a good heart!
Xixi paid for her hospital expenses, bought her supplements, and visited her at the hospital during their toughest times. It did not stop after Granny Yu was discharged from the hospital as Xixi wanted them to move in with her. Since Granny Yu did not want to be a bother, Xixi helped them rent a bright and warm place in the end.
The girl’s mom also often paid her visits after she left the hospital. Having concerns that Granny Yu might find it hard to manage everything on her own, Yun Jinping would cook for her and take care of her. It was during that time Granny Yu got to know that the Shen family had been in search of their son who was kidnapped by human traffickers.
She believed that any child born to the Shen family was lucky in life. Granny Yu prayed every day that the Shen family would be able to find their son.
To her surprise, such coincidence actually existed in this world. Her own Xi was their son. Oh, how fate played them!
Song Wenye was all over the place to see Granny Yu cry. She quickly handed her a tissue. What happened? What was going on? All they did was make her worried sick.
It took a few moments for Song Wenye to get a grip. She sent Shen Xi a text message to get to the bottom of this since Yu Yuanxi made Granny Yu cry over the phone.
Shen Xi’s reply was brief. [Shen Xi: Yu Yuanxi’s my brother.]
Again, Song Wenye needed time to understand the meaning behind these words. [Song Wenye: The brother who was taken by human traffickers? Your parent’s son?]
[Shen Xi: Yes.]
Song Wenye was dumbstruck for a while before smiling foolishly at the phone. Yu Yuanxi was Xixi’s brother, and Mr. and Mrs. Shen’s son was Yu Yuanxi. They found him!
Granny Yu hung up the call and looked at Song Wenye. “Lil’ Ye, Xixi’s dad will come and pick me up later. I’m heading over to Xi’s.”
“Granny.” Song Wenye suddenly leaped and gave her a bear hug. Drops of joy slipped past her tear ducts. “Granny, Yu Yuanxi is Xixi’s brother. This is great! This is awesome!”
