How can stolen love ever bring lasting happiness?

The thought that her mother had used despicable means to keep Mu Chengyi by her side made Mu Xiaoting feel that such behavior was extremely shameful.

As her mother, she couldn't blame her; she could only advise her to give up.

It's better to give up now than to become enemies in the future!

When Wenli heard her daughter say this, her eyes, swollen like light bulbs, looked at her helplessly. "Are you just going to let all these years of relationship between your father and me just end like this?"

"I truly love him!"

"Have you ever thought about it? If he hadn't lost his memory, would he be with you? Does he love you now? If he had to choose, who would he choose?" Mu Xiaoting's questions were like thorns, piercing her heart sharply.

She recalled the happy moments she shared with Mu Chengyi over the years, and also the fear that he might regain his memory at any moment after they had made love late at night.

Her heart had been teetering on the edge of fear, and now that the day had finally come, although she was sad, she also felt a sense of relief.

"Mom, if you truly love him, you should give him the opportunity to choose for himself, instead of forcibly keeping him by your side. No one will be happy in the future!" Mu Xiaoting's words were like daggers to the heart.

Over the years, Wen Li has served as the director of the neighborhood committee and has helped many people resolve emotional disputes. She understands these principles and has advised others in the same way. However, convincing herself of these principles is now extremely difficult.

Years of calm and restraint in her work have made her much more mature. She couldn't bring herself to fight someone over her husband in the street. The more she thought about it, the more indignant she became. She went inside, got paper and pen, and wrote a divorce agreement.

“Take this to your dad. Since he has chosen Zhao Xiaolan, I won’t keep him anymore. We’ve accumulated some savings over the years, which we both saved together. We’ll split it in half. Our son is still young and can’t be without his mother, so he’ll stay with me.” Wen Li tossed the agreement to Mu Xiaoting, displaying a decisive and efficient demeanor.

"Mom, it hasn't come to this yet. Why don't you think about it again..." Mu Xiaoting shuddered, intimidated by Wen Li's imposing manner.

Seeing her hesitation, Wenli shouted, "Hurry up and go!"

She was afraid that Mu Xiaoting wouldn't leave quickly with the agreement, and that she might go back on her word!

Mu Xiaoting reluctantly picked up the agreement, repeatedly telling her not to cry anymore, and left through gritted teeth.

Although she felt somewhat unfilial, she believed that her mother had indeed wronged Aunt Lan, and it would be good if she could make amends even a little.

Hospital.

Zhao Xiaolan was still unconscious. Liu Zhengfeng moistened her lips with a cotton swab dipped in water from time to time.

Mu Chengyi kept rambling on about how much he had suffered during this period and how much he had let her down.

From his rambling, Lin Ye was surprised to discover that the person Kun Kun met on the road when he went missing was Mu Chengyi.

"At that time, I had just regained my hazy memories and didn't dare to tell Wenli. She often had nightmares, afraid that I would leave her. I guess she was also afraid that I would regain my memories and she wouldn't know how to face me."

I wanted to go back to the Victory Battalion to find you. On the way, I rescued a boy who told me a lot. He said that A-Ye was his teacher and that he was married. He said that you had become the mental age of a child. Suddenly, I was scared. I didn't know how to face you...

"Later, A-Ye and his wife actually came to the printing factory to find me. I really wanted to show up, but I was afraid that A-Ye would look down on me and stop letting me help print books. His books are really well-edited... Later, when I was preparing to deliver the books to them, I saw that his wife was about to give birth. I was even more afraid of distracting A-Ye, so I had to ask Xiao Zhang for help..."

"Xiaolan, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

As Mu Chengyi spoke, a tear rolled down his cheek.

Liu Zhengfeng glared at him, his hands still busy. "Now you know you're wrong? Where were you before? Such a good wife, shouldn't you have come home immediately? Dragging your feet and hesitating, aren't you afraid she'll run off with someone else?"

At this moment, he was actually a little shaken. Mu Chengyi was different from him and still had a conscience. If Zhao Xiaolan was willing to come back to him, he would probably give her his blessing!

As the two were arguing, Mu Xiaoting appeared in the hospital room with the divorce papers.

Lin Ye felt a little awkward facing his half-sister and simply nodded without saying anything.

Mu Xiaoting walked straight to Mu Chengyi and handed him the agreement, saying, "My mom asked me to give this to you."

Mu Chengyi's heart skipped a beat. He took the agreement, but it seemed to take him a long time to read the few words.

"Does your mother really think that way?"

“My mother was wrong back then. She shouldn’t have kept it from you. Now that you remember, she’s decided to let go and let you and Aunt Lan continue living together.”

Mu Xiaoting said expressionlessly.

The others, however, looked shocked.

Unexpectedly, things changed so quickly. Wen Li doesn't seem like an easy person to talk to, yet she's actually giving in now! Is she afraid the police will arrest her because of what she concealed back then?

"I've already brought the things. My mother's last wish is that you, out of consideration for our years of friendship, leave my younger brother to her," Mu Xiaoting finished speaking, then turned and left without looking back.

Although it may seem ruthless, these kinds of things need to be dealt with decisively; otherwise, if several people get entangled together, things will only get more and more complicated.

Mu Chengyi held the agreement, stunned for a long time.

He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed!

He never thought about divorcing Wenli!

He buried his head in the sheets, his body rising and falling gently; he was probably crying.

Liu Zhengfeng had always believed that men don't easily shed tears, so for him to be crying like this after receiving the divorce papers was simply a disgrace to men.

"Why are you crying? Wenli, let go. You can go home with Xiaolan. Are you just reluctant to part with Wenli?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his fingers seemed to be grabbed by something. Looking down, he saw that it was Zhao Xiaolan's hand that had hooked around him.

"Lin Ye, quickly call the doctor, your mother's hand is responding." Liu Zhengfeng hurriedly stood up and shouted to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye reacted for half a second, then hurriedly ran towards the doctor's office.

Before the doctor arrived, Zhao Xiaolan had already slowly woken up. She was staring straight at Liu Zhengfeng, her eyes clearly filled with deep affection and a touch of shyness.

Liu Zhengfeng held her hand and looked at her with deep affection.

Just as the two were locked in a tense gaze, the doctor strode in.

Mu Chengyi stood blankly to the side, watching all of this with a helpless expression.

He wanted to tell Elaine Chao that he was truly sorry, but it seemed like she didn't even notice him.

Mu Chengyi was still in a daze until the doctor finished the examination and told Lin Ye that Zhao Xiaolan was fine and could be discharged the next day after resting for one night.

"Ah Ye, I'd like to have some porridge." Zhao Xiaolan smiled at Lin Ye.

Lin Ye nodded, picked up the aluminum lunchbox, and prepared to go to the cafeteria to get his food, when he suddenly realized something.

A smile spread across her face, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Mom, you can speak so fluently now!!!"
