This cry of "Mom" caused Chen Shujing to break down and wail uncontrollably.

She wouldn't have been able to persevere all these years if it weren't for him.

Chen Shujing held her son and cried for a long time before letting go and wiping away her tears with her sleeve.

"Huan Nian, Mom was just too excited to see you. Have you come home for dinner yet? I'll make you something to eat."

Gu Huanian quickly grabbed her; "Mom, I've already eaten, I'm not hungry, so don't bother with anything else."

"well"

Gu Huanian pulled Chen Shujing into the main room. After they sat down, he said, "Mom, I've taken care of everything in Beijing. Chen Shuling killed someone when she escaped, and I've found evidence to send her to prison."

Chen Shuqing's lingering affection for that younger sister had long since vanished over the years. Hearing of her arrest, even the last vestiges of resentment in her heart dissipated.

And that man, she also learned to give up as she waited year after year.

Now she just wants to enjoy her retirement with her son and future daughter-in-law.

“Huan Nian, you did a great job. But now that these things are done, I also want to go back to Beijing. There is something very important I need to take care of.”

"Mom, tell me what it is, and I can find someone to help you take care of it. I'll be working on the mine here for another month or two, so I was thinking you could stay here for now, and then we can go back to Beijing together."

"No, I can only handle this myself. I want to go back and get a divorce from your father. Over the years, I've come to terms with it; his feelings for me before were all fake."

"Mom, do you still have feelings for my dad?"
