I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 100

Xu Lin heard it, and instinctively rubbed his ears.

This news was quite sensational, much bigger than the matter concerning his own family.

But he also looked at Ji Yun. For this girl, the impact of this news was indeed hurtful. After all, this sentence represented that the respected lady she had always admired, her mother, was the one who had destroyed someone elses marriage.

Is it true, Dad? Ji Yuns lips trembled slightly, and Xu Lin reached out and held her wrist.

Then he felt the icy gaze emanating from his father-in-law, but compared to him, he had to prioritize comforting his little sister.

[T/N: It is indeed little sister here.]

Is it true? Ji Yun asked again, and Ji Datong withdrew his gaze from his daughters wrist.

Its true. Yao Yun is actually my ex-wife.

Then did you name me after her because you couldnt forget her?

Ji Yuns tone was surprisingly cold, even if it was her mother yes, but her fathers actions were also a betrayal of her mother. Naming her after his ex-wife, didnt it mean that he hadnt forgotten the other person?

Ji Datong was about to answer when Yao Yun beside him spoke up, her tone soft and soothing, giving off a very comforting feeling.

This isnt the name given to you by your Dad, but its related to me because its the name your mother gave you.

Its to warn your father. Remind him of his infidelity, not to betray her again.

No, my mom couldnt do that. Why would you say that about my mom?

Its true, Ji Datong said, looking solemnly at his daughter.

Calm down Xu Lin gently patted her hand, while Ji Yun also took a deep breath.

Okay, my mom gave me this name, so whats the situation with you two now?

Even if my mom was the third party, so many years have passed. Isnt what youre doing now also betrayal?

Ji Yun looked at her father, then glanced sideways at the middle-aged woman next to her, who wasnt as beautiful as her own mother.

She wore a somewhat unattractive hat, and doesnt have the long hair her father likes, but she always wore a smile and has a pleasant voice, giving off a very gentle vibe.

No, your father didnt betray your mother. After divorcing me, we never contacted each other again, Yao Yun interjected from the side, leaning back in her chair, smiling at Ji Yun and occasionally glancing at Xu Lin.

But youre having meals together now. My mom even went back to her hometown, and he didnt go after her! Ji Yun shouted, despite her efforts to restrain herself.

Fortunately, the hot pot restaurant was crowded, so her voice didnt attract much attention.

Ji Yun, its my fault. I asked your father to accompany me during this last period, Yao Yun explained.

What do you mean? Ji Yun didnt quite understand.

Ji Datong also chimed in, saying, No, I came to take care of you on my own.

Yuner, your Aunt Yao has cancer, and its already in the late stage. After six months of chemotherapy, but in the end there was nothing more we could do.

She has no children, no husband, and her parents have passed away. I couldnt just let her face that day alone.

Ji Yun, its also my fault. I told him about these things. Hes too kind-hearted, couldnt bear to turn a blind eye, and I took advantage of his kindness.

I was at fault for the affair and divorce back then! If I cant even accompany you in the end, am I still human?! Ji Yuns fathers breath became rapid, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Dad, why dont you just talk to Mom? I think she would understand

Ji Yun looked at the sudden melancholy of the two and instantly felt she had been a bit impulsive just now, her tone softened.

Looking at the woman beside her, wearing a hat because of chemotherapy she must have lost her hair but she still could smile like this.

You think your mom doesnt know her? She just told you that she saw me with other women.

She didnt say I was with my ex-wife, your mom didnt want you to know she was once the intruder, so she only argues with me when were alone.

But my mom, she knows Aunt Yaos identity, why doesnt she just ask you directly? Why dont you just tell her everything?

Because shes a woman, just like when she was young, shell be jealous, shell be possessive, naturally she wont agree with me helping my ex-wife.

But by doing this, Mom thinks you and she are rekindling your old flame, right? And what about your divorce? Have you thought about me?

Ji Yun, I understand your mother very well, she wouldnt be so impulsive. And, your Aunt Yaos treatment has already cost a lot of money, she wouldnt want me to spend money on other women.

Listening to this, Ji Yun also fell into silence, looking at her fathers slightly tired face, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Because she understood that her father actually felt more guilty towards this Aunt Yao. So some things he had to do.

But she must not tell her mother what the situation is, because regardless of whether she tells her or not about the other partys physical condition, her mother would definitely not want to know.

Ji Yun, its my fault that your father is in this situation, Im sorry.

No, no, dont apologize, whatever happened in the past, it was my parents who hurt you.

Youre really as kind as your father, and youre so beautiful, just like your mother. Your father is so ugly and poor, why did your mother fall for him?

Haha, I dont know either, but maybe its like you said, hes a kind person, but he also cheated.

Actually, Auntie has let it go long ago, Im almost dying, what else cant I let go of.

Saying this, she held Ji Yuns other hand, looking at her very gently, and said softly.

Is this handsome boy your boyfriend?

No no! Hes my classmate.

Ji Yun quickly shook off Xu Lins hand. Just now, in a moment of excitement, he held her hand, and in front of her father

Glancing at Xu Lin, she bit her lip, this guy hasnt confessed to me yet. Plus, hes a bit of a playboy, I dont want to be cheated on!

Xu Lin sensed Ji Yuns change in demeanor from gentle to slightly displeased, feeling a bit puzzled himself, Did I do something wrong?

Whats the young mans name? Still in school? Suddenly, Yao Yun looked at him, leaving Xu Lin bewildered and a bit nervous, after all, a former mother-in-law is still a mother-in-law.

Im Xu Lin, and Ji Yun and I are classmates.

What about your grades?

Hes second in class, in the top 50 of the whole school. Last month, he was in the top 100.

Although Ji Yun thought the other party was a bit flirtatious, she praised him more eagerly than anyone else.

But Father Ji sitting next to Xu Lin snorted, Monthly exam results, still have to see the final exam and the college entrance examination. Theres nothing to be proud of.

Uncle is right, Im still far from Ji Yuns grades.

Well, Im not a conservative person either. Have you two started dating?

No, uncle But to be honest, I really like Ji Yun.

Xu Lin knew it was time to muster up courage as a man, so he directly spoke to Father Ji.

Yuner, what about you?

Why are you asking me? Ive said to focus on studying in high school, nothing else, havent I? Ji Yun quickly replied to her fathers question, but seeing Xu Lins somewhat disappointed look, she added, But Dad, you also said, once Im in college, you wont interfere

Seeing his daughters expression, Ji Datong sighed, Oh no, my little girl is about to be wooed away! I thought this guy Xu Lin was not bad, but why do I suddenly find him a bit annoying?
