Chapter 123 - Scary Secrets & Wrenching Lies

Lies and Secrets are like ghosts... Ghosts always find a way to haunt a person... These ghosts don't let us live in peace. Because there is always a troubled feeling gnawing at our hearts.

Secrets are scary because they alter our idea of reality. While lies are simply heart wrenching. Some lies are even enough to shatter a person into a million pieces.

Both Xu Mey and Ye Jun were staring at each other in a daze. It was completely unexpected for both of them to know that the other one knew about the game of secrets and lies being played around them.

"Your turn." Xu Mey knew that he was asking her to tell him about how she knew about it but she didn't want to go first.

"Complete your story first. I'll tell you mine, later." Ye Jun thought it was fair enough and nodded.

"Back then bro was injured while playing basketball and needed blood urgently. That's when I got to know that bro has the blood type AB negative." Ye Jun was immersed in his memories. "Mom and dad both have blood type A while I have the blood type O. I learned it somewhere that Type A parents' children can only have either Type A or O. I thought I was mistaken but in my suspicion, I did a DNA test with bro in secret." He took a pause and dejectedly looked at Xu Mey. "We were not a match."

"Why didn't you tell Ah Jie about this?" She asked.

"Bro means the world to me. I didn't want to lose him at all. I was scared that bro will not love me anymore. So, I hid it from him. I didn't have any bad intentions." Ye Jun explained. "What about you? How did you know?"

Xu Mey pondered about what to tell him. Somehow, telling him about Azalea didn't feel right. And she also didn't want to be the one to disclose to him that Ye Jie knew about it himself as well. It was better to leave that part for time to reveal.

"I met a doctor who looked an exact replica of Ah Jie and that's when my suspicion was born. Then mother Ye's urge to hold the mandate over Ye Jie felt odd to me and I did some digging." She left the rest to his imagination. Not bothering to say anything further.

"That doctor who looked like bro..." Ye Jun hesitated as he chewed the inside of his bottom lip. "Is he... bro's real father?"

Xu Mey saw his eager eyes staring at herself. "I believe so." She said. Seeing Ye Jun's crestfallen look, Xu Mey felt sad for him. She patted his shoulder and said, "Little brother, no matter what, you'll always be Ah Jie's younger brother whom he loves the most. But don't you think that your brother has the right to meet his real parents. He needs to face his real ident.i.ty."

Ye Jun contemplated for a moment and said, "You're right... Bro needs to learn about his family. I'll help you in any way possible to find his family."

Xu Mey smiled at his resolute bearing. "I'll make sure to tell you if I need any help. But must remember that your brother will need your help to tread through that storm of reality."

"I will make sure to hold my brother's hand. I'm not letting him go away from me at any cost."

They stayed inside her study room for more than an hour and when they emerged from the room together, they were greeted by Ye Jie's narrowed eyes. His eyes darted between both of their faces and landed on Xu Mey's face at the end. "What were you guys doing?" He was surprised that their relations.h.i.+p had gotten so strong that Ye Jun exited the study room even he was not allowed to enter.

"We... Ah..." Xu Mey didn't know what to say. Hiding things from him was very easy but lying was an entirely different thing. She really was getting bad at lying in front of him. His piercing gaze was always like he could see her n.a.k.e.d soul. Although that feeling didn't scare her anymore like it used to do it was still awkward knowing that someone had the ability to see through your lies.

"I had to talk to Sis." Ye Jun replied when he saw that Xu Mey was having difficulty with lying.

Ye Jie crossed his arms before his chest and arched a single brow asking, "About what?"

Ye Jun cleared about his throat and straightened his back in a righteous way. "I had to take some advice about her friend, Jun Li Na."

Ye Jie was not convinced at all as he kept playing the staring game with Ye Jun trying to pressure him into spurting out the truth. "Bro, don't intimidate me. I really needed to talk about that."

"Ah Jie..." Xu Mey's loving voice rang in Ye Jie's ears and his eyes instantly ignored Ye Jun. "Li Na's bodyguards treated Jun so badly the other night."

Ye Jun's eyes widened when he heard that. While it was true that he was beaten up but it wasn't that badly and also, when did he mention it to her? He leaned a little towards Xu Mey and whispered, "Sis, how do you know that?"

Xu Mey whispered back, "Jun Li Na and I might not spend that much time together but that doesn't mean that she doesn't tell me anything. She texted me when you jumped in front of her car scaring her so much."

Ye Jun made an ugly face. "Huh! And how her bodyguards were going to bury me? That was scarier okay." He really was treated wrongly.

"What are you both doing?" Ye Jie asked as he saw how their heads were buried together and they seemed to be squabbling for some reason.

"Nothing!" Both Xu Mey and Ye Jun replied simultaneously and stood straight like obedient students before a teacher.

"Follow me!" Ye Jie beckoned and walked towards the living room.
