Chapter 50 - 『Familial Ties』

Jin Zixuan slowly kneels down to look at the child eye to eye, "Where are your parents?"

Cale raised his left eyebrow, but he didn't say anything and only watched Jin Zixuan and the child.

"I Lost A-niang."

The redhead cocked his head in amusement, the child making Cale remember Wei Ying when they were children.

The child seems to be five to six years old. An age where he should be crying his lungs out when he lost his mother in an unfamiliar crowd.

Before Jin Zixuan could talk, someone screamed.

"A-Yu!"

A woman who seems to be in her early twenties yelled, immediately pulling the child to her arms as she flinched when she saw Jin Zixuan.

"I-I am deeply sorry! Young Master!"

Before Jin Zixuan could answer, the woman had already left.

Cale snorts beside him, "Aren't you a scary guy?"

Jin Zixuan simply sighs before dusting his knees.

"Aiya. It seems that girl is scared out of her wits when she saw the young master." A vendor says, making Cale snort as Jin Zixuan furrowed his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?"

The vendor immediately shuts his mouth before looking left and right, seeing if there is someone listening.

"You didn't hear this from me, but everyone knew the Second Lady of Mo Clan being kicked out from their household when she birthed into a bastard child of Sect Leader Jin."

Jin Zixuan violently flinched, while Cale almost tripped himself when he was perfectly standing still.

"H-How old is she?" Jin Zixuan asked, trying his best to stop himself from trembling pitifully.

"She's already twenty two this year I think."

Cale's eyes squinted, burying the disgust that was threatening to come out, "And the child?"

"The young Mo is already six years old."

The both of them felt like they were thrown into a large pile of snow in the middle of a bitter winter.

Before Jin Zixuan could combust, Cale had already pulled him away as he silently thanks the vendor.

He pulled him into one of the alleys as Cale watched the older punch a concrete wall, the redhead wincing to himself when he saw blood on Jin Zixuan's fist.

"She was only sixteen when fatherㅡ!"

Jin Zixuan was beyond disgusted. He knew that his father had many flings and bedded many woman that maybe the man itself couldn't count, but this time is far too immoral!

"...What do you plan to do?" Cale asks after he sees the older slowly calm down from his outburst.

Jin Zixuan thought for a while before he spoke.

"What do you think I should do?"

He was never the one to decide something like this, he was always the one to follow whatever his mother wants him do.

For all the years Jin Zixuan had grew, he was used to being dictated by his own mother despite his displeasure. That is one of the reason why he wants to rebel and not marry Jiang Yanli back then.

"...Go talk to them. You still have the right since the child is your half-brother."

Jin Zixuan laughs lightly, comforted at the words of the redhead before he sighs in resignation.
