"Fu Yanci, do you think Xiaobao will go?"
"I don't know... If it were me, I wouldn't go."
"...What if he goes?"
"Let him be."
"But he's only a five-year-old child. Isn't it a bit too cruel to make him face his mother who abused him like this?"
"Ah Li, who said he was a genius, that he was precocious? And who patted their chest and said they were a real man and would protect you?"
"..."
"Ah Li, why aren't you saying anything?... Ah Li, I was wrong. What do you suggest we do? I'll listen to you, okay?... Ah Li, Ah Li, please don't ignore me, okay? Ah Li..."
"Ah, Fu Yanci, you're so bad! Fu Yan... ah..."
It all started with entanglement.
Chaos ensued.
Ye Li originally planned to find out Fu Yanci's bottom line and tolerance before going to bed, but she didn't expect that she would be led astray before she even started.
When Ye Li opened her eyes early in the morning and saw that her side was empty, and then remembered his surprised whispers last night, she turned around and buried her blushing face in the pillow.
"Ah Li, if we don't get up now, we'll be late..."
When Fu Yanci's voice rang out from outside the window, Ye Li sat up abruptly. "I want to go too?"
"Of course. We are a happy family, aren't we?"
The man's words were full of laughter.
Wash up and change clothes.
When Ye Li went outside again, she saw a big boy and a small boy playing basketball in the yard.
Compared to the towering and imposing Fu Yanci, Xiao Bao looked like a tiny little thing, but his attacks were still quite impressive.
Fu Yanci employed a combination of feigned and actual defense.
When Xiao Bao reached the basket and faked a jump, Fu Yanci caught him and slammed him against the rim.
After a moment of surprise, Xiao Bao's eyes lit up.
Bang!
The basketball slammed into the hoop, bouncing a few times before landing some distance away.
On the second floor of the old-established teahouse at the alley entrance, whose name is simply "Tea House," Lin Kerou sat by the window, her expression calm.
But only she knew how anxious she was.
All night long, my heart felt like it was being roasted on a fire.
On one hand, she hated Fu Yanci for being too cruel, not even letting her into the Fu family's gate.
On one hand, she was worried that Xiaobao wouldn't forgive him, so what should she do?
Xiao Bao is old enough to remember things clearly; he remembers everything she did to him.
Three years have passed, and he must have already forgotten about it.
Lin Kerou couldn't even remember what she was thinking.
She arrived here to wait as soon as it was light.
The lobby on the first floor was noisy and bustling, filled with the sounds of old men from the alley drinking tea and chatting.
In Ke Lin Ke Rou's heart, there was only a cold and deep face.
That was what she had lost.
This time, she's going to take it back!
The ruthless thought had just surfaced when, turning back, he saw two adults and one child walking hand in hand in the alleyway.
Lin Kerou's eyes narrowed sharply.
In the bright morning sun, the man, tall and with long legs, looked more approachable in his casual home clothes, losing the coldness and seriousness he usually displayed.
Ye Li, who was a head shorter than him, had crescent-shaped eyes when she spoke, making her look charming and lovely.
Between the two is Xiao Bao.
As if amused by Ye Li's words, the little guy smiled, his eyes crinkling like Ye Li's.
At first glance, the two look quite alike.
Lin Kerou's nails dug fiercely into the table.
I've considered all the possibilities.
Fu Yanci appeared alone with a gloomy face: He doesn't want to see you, so you should leave!
Or perhaps, both the big one and the little one have stern faces, with the little one looking at them with a strange, confused, and hateful expression, rejecting them: You are not my mother, I don't know you!
Even worse, Fu Yanci didn't even show her face, only sending her bodyguards to chase her away.
Ke Lin Ke Rou never dreamed she would see this scene before her eyes.
It was as if they were a family of three.
She, who endured ten months of pregnancy and gave birth to the baby, was merely a surrogate mother.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door of the private room. Lin Kerou snapped out of her daze, quickly put on a gentle yet sorrowful smile, and went to open the door.
In an instant, the small figure that Ye Li was holding shrank behind Ye Li.
Lin Kerou's eyes immediately reddened.
"Come in, come in..."
She stepped aside to let Fu Yanci in, and seeing that he didn't move, Lin Kerou paused for a moment, then turned around and sat down on a bench.
A dark red square table sits by the window, its antique appearance bearing the marks of time.
There were only two benches placed on the two sides directly opposite each other.
Lin Kerou sat down to one side.
Fu Yanci and Ye Li sat down on one side.
Almost as soon as they sat down, a hint of joy appeared in Lin Kerou's eyes.
Looking at Xiaobao with expectant eyes, Lin Kerou's eyes were full of encouragement: Xiaobao, come here, come to Mommy.
The little guy didn't even look at her, but walked straight behind Fu Yanci and Ye Li, stepped over the bench, and squeezed between the two of them.
Lin Kerou's heart sank heavily.
“Muzhi, Mom knows she was wrong, Mom really knows she was wrong…”
Tears streamed down her face as Lin Kerou covered her face and sobbed.
Xiao Bao looked completely bewildered and tightly gripped Ye Li's hand.
As if afraid of angering Fu Yanci, Lin Kerou did not cry for too long.
Lin Kerou pulled two documents from her bag and laid them out on the table facing Xiaobao. She explained earnestly, "Muzhi, Mommy was wrong back then, but it was because Mommy was sick. Mommy knows you're only five years old and can't understand these things. But please don't hate Mommy, okay?"
"You can disown me, you can ignore me, it doesn't matter..."
Lin Kerou shook her head, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at Xiaobao. "Mommy isn't in a hurry. Mommy has the rest of her life ahead of her, that's enough. When you grow up, you'll know what ten months of pregnancy is, what postpartum depression is, and then you'll understand the pain Mommy went through! If by then you still won't forgive Mommy, I...I..."
Her lips trembled slightly, and her face paled a few shades, but Lin Kerou smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay. By then, you'll be all grown up. If you still can't forgive me, I'll leave. As long as you're happy, Mom will be fine with anything!"
A beautiful woman, pale-faced.
Looking closely, I saw that his eyes were full of tears.
She was smiling, but tears were streaming down her face.
An overwhelming sense of sadness and grief washed over me.
Xiao Bao stared blankly, forgetting even when he had let go of Ye Li's hand.
Ye Li was also stunned.
As a woman myself, if I didn't know clearly what happened back then, I would have a preconceived aversion to Lin Kerou.
Based on what she just said, not to mention Xiao Bao, even Ye Li herself would probably be moved to tears.
I just wish I could stand by and persuade Xiaobao, and tell him how hard his mother had it back then.
Is this the legendary high-level "white lotus" green tea bitch?
I've seen it all!
Ye Li subconsciously looked at Fu Yanci, and then curled her lips into a smile.
