I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 1287: Chapter 1286: Confirmation

Jing Changle looked at Gong Chengyan and asked knowingly, ”Are you my father?”

Gong Chengyan exchanged a glance with Yun Fei, assuming he asked out of longing for his father.

”Your father, your father disappeared a long time ago,” Gong Chengyan contemplated briefly before deciding to reveal the truth.

There’s no use in hiding such things; the truth will come out sooner or later.

Jing Changle was slightly startled, ”How long?”

”Around eight years,” Gong Chengyan approximated the time, as he couldn’t recall the exact date.

Upon hearing this, Jing Changle felt somewhat relieved. He was about to turn eight; it seemed his father disappeared after his mother conceived him but before his birth, which meant that his mother’s forced departure wasn’t related to his father.

Jing Changle hoped that this was the case, as long as his father wasn’t a scoundrel, at least his mother wasn’t completely despairing.

As for listening to what these people say about his lineage, if his mother was indeed persecuted by the Pengge Sect, can he trust these people’s words?

Even if not, so many years have passed, he couldn’t completely trust these suddenly appearing so-called relatives; where were they when his mother was persecuted?

While it’s possible the forces persecuting his mother were too strong, he hoped that was the reason, but he knew he had to investigate himself, as he couldn’t trust others’ words.

Jing Changle was exceptionally sensitive, which allowed him to discern who genuinely cared for him, like Luo Yirui and Aunt Bei.

As Gong Chengyan spoke with Jing Changle, Yun Fei hesitated to speak several times, wanting to ask a question she dared not voice.

At this moment, Jing Yuansi spoke up, ”Where is my mother?”

The question made Yun Fei’s heart leap to her throat as she nervously watched Luo Yirui.

Jing Changle glanced at the others and said, ”My mother is dead.”

Jing Yuansi’s heart sank, and she fell silent, her small face now expressionless.

Yun Fei’s arms dropped weakly, and her head followed suit. Gong Chengyan closed his eyes and sighed softly.

Jing Changle observed their reactions, finding no obvious issues. He didn’t mention the Inheritance Pearl, as Aunt Bei had said it was a precious thing, and it was the only item his mother left for him, meant to be kept hidden.

Luo Yirui looked at Jing Yuansi’s dazed expression, noticing she wasn’t about to cry, and asked, ”Yuanxi, are you okay?”

Jing Yuansi remained silent, as if she hadn’t heard him.

Jing Changle looked at Jing Yuansi and felt a natural affection for his sister, even though he didn’t know her well, he didn’t feel any aversion. Despite wanting to speak, he felt shy due to his unfamiliarity.

Jing Changle’s lineage remained a secret, and Gong Chengyan entrusted Tian Zhi to allow them to chat alone. Tian Zhi and Luo Yirui looked at Jing Changle, and upon seeing him nod, they left the area to them.

Gong Chengyan told him everything regarding his mother Nie Xuejiao’s pregnancy until she was forced to flee due to upheaval, also clarifying what he meant to the Pengge Sect.

Jing Changle listened quietly; if what Gong Chengyan said was true, then the Nie Family were responsible for murdering his mother.

During this, aside from a few questions, Jing Changle rarely spoke, and Gong Chengyan gradually sensed the child’s distrust towards them.

While consoling him, he found it rather tricky.
