I looked towards the parking area again, and sure enough, three people came out. The younger woman must be Bai Lu's cousin. She was holding a child who looked about three or four years old. When Bai Lu saw the child, tears welled up in her eyes again...

I know that this child must be hers and Guo Yang's.

...

Bai Lu and I arrived in front of them. Bai Lu's cousin handed the child to Bai Lu and then said angrily to Bai Lu, "Sister, I can understand you cutting ties with Uncle and Aunt... but you don't even want Tangdou'er, isn't that too heartless?"

Bai Lu cried as she hugged the child, her eyes filled with reluctance, and her lips trembling.

Finally, she put down the child and said to her parents, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry... Guo Yang and I are no longer on the same path. We really can't go on like this. If you still have me in your hearts, please give me a way out!"

A crisp slap rang out. Bai Lu's father pointed at Bai Lu and said angrily, "You're not letting your mother and me live... You divorced us, abandoned the child, and now you're hanging out with some random guy who came from who-knows-where. Have you thought about what people are saying behind our backs?"

Bai Lu covered the spot where she had been hit with her hand, and looked at her father with a particularly helpless expression... At that moment, I felt that she was really pitiful. If her father were someone who was willing to listen to her explanation, she wouldn't have to bear so many grievances alone, unable to speak out.

Bai Lu's mother felt sorry for her. With tears in her eyes, she said to Bai Lu, "Listen to your mother, even for the sake of Tang Dou, you have to remarry Guo Yang... Every family has its own troubles, and life is all about enduring... When Tang Dou grows up and understands, he will thank you, his mother, for giving him a complete family today... Don't you really know how unlovable children from single-parent families are?"

Bai Lu cried bitterly, then replied with heartbreaking sobs, "Mom, I've waited as long as I could... but this time, I really can't wait for Tangdou to grow up... Please, you and Dad, give me a way out!"

"Do you really think you'll have a good life with this bastard? Your dad and I are just worried about you, why don't you understand us?!"

At this moment, Coach Ma got out of the car. Though not a man of many words, he stood firmly beside Bai Lu without saying a word...

Bai Lu gripped Coach Ma's hand tightly, holding back her tears, and said, word by word, "Mom...maybe I made a huge mistake today, but I'm going to do it anyway...because life requires turning around...waiting for this or that will only wear me down in the end..."

At this point, she looked at her child and choked up again, saying, "Yes, I'm sorry to Tangdou. If there were any chance, I wouldn't want to miss out on his childhood, but I really can't do it now..."

"You're being foolish!"

"If I could live my whole life in a daze, that would be nice... Mom and Dad, I have to go today. Just pretend you never had a daughter like me..."

As Bai Lu spoke, she pushed Coach Ma into the car, then sat in the driver's seat and started the engine...

The child suddenly realized something and started crying desperately...

Bai Lu gritted her teeth and didn't look at it again...

At this moment, her extremely difficult-to-talk-to father stood in front of her car again, trying to stop her...

Bai Lu reversed her car and went around her father, but the Enclave blocked her way. She hesitated for only a moment before stepping on the gas and squeezing through the gap between the Enclave and the flower bed...

The ear-piercing screeching of the cars rubbing against each other shook even the hearts of us onlookers...

Gradually, Bai Lu's car disappeared from everyone's sight... but the child didn't calm down; he was still crying for his mother...

I don't want to judge who is right or wrong, but I seriously asked myself, which is more difficult, "waiting" or "turning away"?
