"Baohe, you… you mean Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin aren't your real parents?" Stunned for a good while, Gangshun stammered out the question.
Lin Baohe nodded: "Mhm."
"That's impossible..." Gangshun scratched his head, his face full of confusion, "Didn't you have suspicions before and secretly check? The midwife said you are their biological son, how could it suddenly become that you are not their child? Baohe, where did you hear this from?"
"Baojuan told me, I went to ask them, and they admitted it…" Lin Baohe then recounted the truth about his birth in detail.
"That's shameless!" Fat Auntie, furious, slapped Gangshun's thigh with such force that he winced in pain and glared at her, "Where are you venting your anger?"
"Huh?" Fat Auntie looked at him blankly, "What's wrong?"
Gangshun bit his teeth in irritation: "You slapped my leg, what's wrong?"
