The Revenge Turned To Love

Two hours later, Zhao Bin was done with the day's work. He left to his home with Lau Lan and Xian's mother, Biyu. Till he reach home, he was thinking only thing- 'What does Xian's mother want talk to him?' Lau Lan applied the breaks right in front of Zhao Bin's house.

Zhao took them inside the house. Zhu Rui was startled to see Biyu and Lau Lan. "Please make yourself comfortable," Zhao Bin told Biyu and Lau Lan, gesturing them to sit over the minicouch. He then turned to Zhu Rui and asked her about uncle Xiao long.

"He has gone out to buy some utilities," replied Zhu Rui. "What would you like to take- tea or coffee?" Zhu Rui asked, looking at Biyu and Lau Lan.

"Nothing. Don't disturb yourself. Please have a seat with us," stated Biyu. Zhu Rui and Zhao looked at each other when Zhao gestured to Zhu Rui to agree with aunt Biyu. Zhu Rui got seated beside Biyu while Zhao sat on the sofa chair.

"At least take water. I am bringing water for you," Zhu Rui said and stood up the couch, left for the kitchen before Biyu could stop her.

"What do you want to talk about, aunt?" Zhao asked, looking at Biyu.

"I do not know from where to start?" Biyu said with a confused look and then lowered her eyes.

"What is it? You are making me nervous," Zhao stated and slightly laughed. Lau Lan looked at his mother and then thought to take the initiative for the conversation. "Zhao, do you remember when you donated blood for Xian?" Lau Lan asked.  Biyu lifted her eyes up to look at Lau Lan.

"Yes, I remember. Why? What about it?" Lau Lan asked.

"Usually O negative blood is not easily accessible but in blood relations it is found easily," Lau Lan asserted. Zhao's eyes grew big upon hearing that. "What do you mean?" he asked confusedly. Zhu Rui too came there with a tray in her hand. She placed it on the table and put the water glasses in front of Biyu and Lau Lan.

"I mean you and Xian are related to each other. I know it is shocking for you but it is more shocking for mom. Rest things mom will explain to you," Lau Lan asserted as he looked at Biyu.

Zhu Rui stood beside the sofa chair on which Zhao was sitting. Zhao looked at Biyu with inquisitiveness. "Your mother and I are sisters," Biyu finally spoke. Zhao was shocked to hear that. Zhu Rui was put her palm over her mouth because of the shock.

"There is a long past story which created rift between us. We never met each other until yesterday in the central jail. I never knew that she has a son until yesterday. After so many years my sister talked with me and asked for one thing from me. Even if she would not have asked me I would have asked her about her child. Come with me to our home," Biyu asserted and then looked at Zhu Rui, keeping the tiny smile on her lips. 

Zhao chuckled. "What did she tell you? Did she tell you to take care of me?" Zhao asked with annoyance and glared at Biyu.

"Zhao," Biyu mumbled.

"How can she expect this from me? She always threw me at people," Zhao asserted. Lau Lan intervened and spoke, "Zhao, you are getting mom wrong. I know the current time is really difficult for you. But, please listen to whole thing first." Lau Lan tried calming Zhao. 

"I do not want to listen to anything. I am not going anywhere," Zhao stated and got up from the couch. "You shall leave and let's not talk about this ever again. I don't want to take anyone's favor," saying this Zhao left the living room. Zhu Rui worriedly looked at him when they all heard the slamming of door.

"Please forgive him. I think his emotions acted up. Please give him some time to react over the situation." Zhu Rui apologized for the wrong behavior of Zhao. Biyu stood up so was Lau Lan from the couch. "You don't need to apologize. It is his right to get angry. I think I should not have told the truth this way. I will tomorrow. Take care," Biyu stated with a faint smile on her lips.

Zhu Rui shook her head in agreement. She saw them off till the gate and then went back to her house. She went to their bedroom but yes, the door was locked from inside. "Zhao, they are gone. Open the door," Zhu Rui said softly while knocking at the door.

"Leave me alone for sometime," Zhao replied.  Zhu Rui stepped back upon hearing that. She knew there would be no use when Zhao was angry instead, it would annoy him more so, she decided to leave from there.

Zhao, on the other hand, was sitting on the floor against the wall. His knees were closer to him while his head was resting over them. "Did she never love me? She wasn't like this when I was kid. Then what happened to her when I reached adulthood? She is in jail because of that man. I know she lied for him and accepted to live in jail for her remaining life then to be with me.

When I went there to meet her, then why did she not meet me? How could so easily told her sister to take me with her?" Zhao was angry at her mother.

Tears were pouring down his eyes. It was indeed tough time for him when he was just remarked by people as a mafia's and murderer's son. Then his mother instead of saying truth, took the side of her husband. Not only that she told her sister to take care of him as if he could not do things on his own.

Lau Lan looked at his mother who had teary eyes. "Give him some time," Lau Lan told Biyu.

"I should have stopped my sister years ago then we would not have to see this. Can she not be pardoned by the court? I know she never knew about his husband deeds. Let's do something and take her out of that jail," Biyu told Lau Lan.

"Mom, we cannot intervene in this unless her son wants it. First we need to make Zhao understand who is still in shock and anger because of that incident. Chang will then look into it. Don't worry. And, now the most important thing is when we will tell about this to Xian?" Lau Lan looked with an inquisitiveness at her mother.

"Not today. First, I need to talk to him regarding his father," Biyu declared in an affirmed tone. Lau Lan nodded and agreed with his mother.

He started the engine and left for home. As they reached home, they found the ruckus there. "Mom, Lau Lan why were you not answering the call? Where were you?" asked Yin Mei with a worried expression on his face.

"We put our phones on silent mistakenly. Why? What happened? And, why are you all so worried?" Biyu asked and looked at Yin Mei.

"Nothing mom. We got worried as you were not answering the calls," Mishi told Biyu. "Make yourself comfortable here. I am bringing water for you," Mishi told both Biyu and Lau Lan and left for the kitchen.

"Where is Samuel?" Biyu asked Yin as she rested on the sofa.

"He is sleeping in his room. Tomorrow he will get an admission in the Beijing elementary school," Yin told Biyu.

"I am freshening up. You two continue talking," Lau Lan, leaving the living room. Xian and Mark arrived home right at that time. Greeting their mother, they sat on the couch.

"Did you go out? You look tired," Xian asserted as he sat on the couch. Mark gestured to Yin and they two left for their room.

"Yes, I had gone out to meet Zhao Bin," Biyu stated. Mishi came there with a tray in her hand and happened to hear that. "Zhao?!" Mishi mumbled astonishingly as she put the tray on the sofa table. Handing the water glasses to Biyu and Xian, Mishi sat beside Biyu.

Xian thanked Mishi and drank the water. Putting the glass on the table, Xian asked his mother, "Why did you go to meet him?"

"There is something you must know, Xian," Biyu asserted. Xian nodded and told his mother to tell him.

"Zhao and you are brothers," Biyu asserted.

"W-what?" Xian exclaimed with a shocking look.
