Third Aunt took Song Xiaoru's hand and said, "Xiaoru, we've kept this secret for more than twenty years, and now it's time to tell you."
"What exactly is it?" Song Xiaoru's heart was pounding ceaselessly, her voice trembling, and her face so pale it had not a trace of color.
Second Uncle sighed and picked up where she left off, "Actually, Xiaodong is not your biological brother."
"What?" Song Xiaoru's eyes went wide, staring at Second Uncle.
Third Aunt emphasized, "Your Second Uncle is right, Xiaodong was found by your parents."
"This... this... how is this possible? It absolutely can't be!" Song Xiaoru shook her head vehemently.
Third Aunt said, "Xiaoru, why are you so worked up about this? Xiaodong was found, but your parents always treated him like their own son. Since your parents are gone, haven't you always treated him like your real brother? You never treated him poorly; we've all seen it. In the hardest times, you always saved the best for him."
