'Uncle Grandpa??!!!' The couple stopped their beating in case of hurting the two children. They both side-eyed each other while telepathically talking with their eyes.
'Am I hearing things right?' Stelly looked confused.
'Did I have a hidden grandchild?' Yitian was also flabbergasted while looking back at his son being comforted by two dumplings.
"Uncle Grandpa, pain pain fly away" Yue was patting Jackson while Jue was copying his sister.
'Thank God for these angels!!!' Jackson was rejoicing in his mind while snapping back to reality when he saw the two old haniwa statues in front of him. He was struggling to keep a straight face or just simply burst out, but he was wise to keep a straight face or else he will have another round of beating. He slowly stood up and assured the twins.
"Jue, Yue, Uncle Grandpa is fine.. Don't be angry at them" Jackson promised the two children who were now clutching his pants while glaring at his parents like dogs protecting their owner.
"..." Both elders were speechless. They couldn't be more sure that this is their great grandchildren... But who was the mother? or father?
"Jackson. Explain" Stelly recovered first and softly asked his son not to alarm the children more.
Jackson sighed while he told his parents to sit and gave the kids to their caretaker that Ruyi hired when nobody came to fetch the children. He then sat and started explaining.
"So who is their father then? Why are they calling Yiyi mommy?" Yitian asked.
"Uhh... before we get to that, promise me you won't beat me up?" Jackson knew the moment he tell his parents they will vent their frustrations on him.
"FIne. Spill it out" Stelly was keeping Yitian down by holding him tightly.
"Okay, as I said before, the two were just strangers who managed to get inside impenetrable office without anyone noticing, they are the niece and nephew of Ruyi's talent, K-WON. I don't know how those two were able to soften Ruyi, but she herself allowed them to call her mommy after even knowing from her that she wasn't their mother." Jackson mentally breathed deeply as he was about to get to the bloody part.
"So?" Both elders were now raising their eyebrows in probing manner.
"Their father is someone you know all too well..." Jackson prayed internally for his safety. "It's Renji. Renji Yamato"
It took a while for both elders to respond as Jackson was now preparing his escape.
"Renji Who?" "What did you say you Bastard!!!!" Both elders were in rage just from hearing the name. The abominable name of the bastard who hurt their darling Ruyi.
"Uhh... and he's back in China? and he... was here yesterday?" Jackson immediately took off to his shelter. The twins. 'Safe Haven protect me!!!' Jackson was crying buckets of tears in his mind. He had also just arrived last night and wasn't expecting that.

Around the same time, a man was approaching his mother to ask for help.
"Mother, please help me." Renji was solemn and gloomy, as if a knife was stabbed in his chest.
"Why?" Miya had an inkling to what had happened. Seeing his face and that late night report that her grandkids told her last night.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Grandma, mommy is crying!!" Yue was crying while holding her phone. Jue was still with their mommy and helping with easing their distraught mother. She was antsy and is keeping strong so that she won't cry.
"Ehh? What happened?" Yue just told her what she saw and said she doesn't know. She advised her granddaughter to join his brother in calming their mommy and hanged up.
"Oh my God!!! Renji what happened to you?" Miya suddenly hanged up after seeing her son's battered state.
