Cheng Yiyi seemed to have thought of something, and anger flashed in her eyes as she looked at Cheng Li.
Did you hurt him again because of Nian Chun?
Cheng Li could only cry and couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
Cheng Yiyi was furious. If it weren't for the fact that she was an elder, she would have slapped her twice.
She had heard her mother mention it before.
Cheng Li's life with her ex-husband's son, Xu Qingyuan, is not going well.
The father remarried and had a new child, and the mother remarried as well. The child was in an awkward position no matter which way he went.
Before Cheng Li contacted Nian Chun, Xu Qingyuan often went to see her.
Although Cheng Li did not take Xu Qingyuan with her in the divorce, Xu Qingyuan did not blame her at all.
Cheng Li was also very kind to Xu Qingyuan.
But ever since he got together with Nian Chun, Xu Qingyuan seems to have become a burden.
Last summer vacation, Xu Qingyuan had a conflict with Nian Chun at Cheng Li's house. Nian Chun even pointed at Xu Qingyuan's nose and told him to get lost.
A normal mother would protect her son.
But Cheng Li didn't. Instead of protecting Xu Qingyuan, she bought him a train ticket and let him go back to his father's house alone.
What's even more outrageous is that Cheng Li had to get Nian Chun's permission to give money to Xu Qingyuan afterwards.
During the Chinese New Year, Xu Qingyuan wanted to visit his maternal grandparents, but Cheng Li, due to Nian Chun's opposition, forced the child to not even visit his maternal grandparents' house.
When Cheng Yiyi heard about this, she was furious.
Although she wasn't very familiar with Xu Qingyuan, she could understand the feeling of this child being helpless and alone.
Perhaps because he was too lonely, even though Cheng Li treated him this way, Xu Qingyuan still missed his mother.
Cheng Li kept crying. Cheng Yiyi didn't know exactly how Cheng Li had hurt Xu Qingyuan this time, but she could sense that this time the hurt was greater than all the previous ones combined.
Cheng Yiyi didn't want to hear Cheng Li's crying anymore.
Meng Lianyun then directly asked her to leave.
After Cheng Li left, Cheng Yiyi couldn't help but contact Xu Qingyuan.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered, and a boy's voice came from the other end:
"Hey! Sis, is there something you need?"
"Qingyuan, where...where are you now?" Cheng Yiyi asked worriedly.
"I'm delivering food, what's up?" Xu Qingyuan asked.
Cheng Yiyi: "Why are you working as a food delivery driver? Are you short of money?"
Xu Qingyuan was a little embarrassed: "A little."
Cheng Yiyi: "You're still in school, how could you be short of money? Didn't your dad give you living expenses?"
After a moment of silence, the person on the other end said:
"I don't want to ask him for it. His mind is entirely on his younger brother right now, and he doesn't care about me at all!"
Cheng Yiyi felt a lump in her throat.
Just then, a clap of thunder suddenly rang out outside, as if it was about to rain.
"Sis, is something wrong? If not, you can hang up now, I'm in a hurry to deliver food!"
"It's about to rain outside, did you bring an umbrella?" Cheng Yiyi asked urgently.
"It's okay, I have a raincoat."
"I'll hang up now!"
After saying that, the phone was hung up.
Cheng Yiyi's eyes were filled with tears; she was both angry and sad.
"My aunt really should see what her son is suffering!"
Meng Lianyun smiled slightly: "If you want, I'll arrange it for you right away!"
"Is it okay?" Cheng Yiyi asked, stunned.
Meng Lianyun: "If you want it, I can make it happen."
As he spoke, Meng Lianyun went out to make a phone call.
Not long after, Cheng Li was invited into a car.
Where are you taking me?
"Let me take you to see your son."
The bodyguard drove up a road and slowly chased after a person riding an electric scooter.
Although the man was wearing a raincoat and a helmet, Cheng Li recognized him at a glance; it was her son, Xu Qingyuan.
Outside, the wind and rain were raging, and Cheng Li felt cold even with the window open while sitting in the car.
Xu Qingyuan, on the other hand, was soaked in the rain. His raincoat was blown up by the wind, and the raindrops quickly wet the clothes underneath.
Xu Qingyuan hunched his neck, clearly feeling very cold.
But he didn't slow down at all, because if he slowed down he wouldn't be able to catch up.
When they reached the red light, the car stopped, but Xu Qingyuan looked at both sides of the road and ran the red light to cross the intersection.
Just then, a car suddenly appeared and nearly hit him.
"careful!"
Cheng Li couldn't help but gasp. She tried to get out of the car, but was stopped by the bodyguard.
Immediately afterwards, the green light turned on, and the car quickly caught up with Xu Qingyuan's electric scooter after passing through.
Cheng Li was confined in the car and saw Xu Qingyuan carrying a box of takeout to a building without an elevator. He climbed up to the sixth floor and then climbed back down.
He was panting heavily from running, but he didn't dare to stop for a moment because there were other people's takeout orders in his car.
Cheng Li was sobbing uncontrollably in the car.
And so, the bodyguard showed her around for a full hour.
Watching Xu Qingyuan run around in the wind and rain, watching him run red lights to avoid being late, watching him humbly apologize to customers because he was late.
Just as Cheng Li was on the verge of collapse, the bodyguard finally released her.
Cheng Li pushed open the car door and ran over, ignoring the heavy rain and the muddy ground.
"Qingyuan!"
In the wind and rain, Xu Qingyuan heard a familiar voice and his whole body suddenly froze.
Before he could react, he was embraced by a pair of warm arms.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
"Qingyuan, it was Mom's fault! Mom is so sorry!"
Xu Qingyuan's nose tingled, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.
He didn't cry when he was freezing while delivering food in the heavy rain, and he didn't cry when customers scolded him, but after hearing his mother's apology, a wave of grievances washed over him.
But after feeling wronged, he remembered what happened that day.
Xu Qingyuan shoved Cheng Li away and angrily said:
"I don't need your help!"
"Didn't you say you didn't want me anymore? Didn't you want to have another child with that man? Go ahead and have it! Just pretend I never existed as your son!"
Xu Qingyuan turned to leave, but Cheng Li hugged him.
"Qingyuan, you're my son! How could Mom abandon you!"
"Mom knows she was wrong, Mom is sorry!"
"Mom has decided to divorce Nianchun. Mom doesn't want any other children. You are my only son!"
"Qingyuan, Mom will never abandon you again. Please forgive Mom."
Xu Qingyuan was shocked to hear these words.
"You...you're serious?"
Cheng Li raised her hand as if to swear an oath:
"Really! Mom swears, if I'm lying about anything I just said, may I die a horrible death!"
Xu Qingyuan turned around and hugged Cheng Li, tears streaming down his face like a burst dam.
After a long while, he finally managed to call out in a hoarse voice, "Mom!"
Cheng Li reached out and wiped the rain off Xu Qingyuan's face, choking back tears as she said:
"Mom will take you home!"
Cheng Li took Xu Qingyuan's hand and led him into the car.
The bodyguard relayed the situation to the hospital.
Meng Lianyun looked at Cheng Yiyi and smiled, "Are you satisfied with this result?"
Cheng Yiyi nodded: "Meng Lianyun, thank you!"
"You're welcome!" Meng Lianyun replied with a smile.
Cheng Yiyi let out a silent breath, unsure how long Cheng Li's awakened maternal love could last.
This woman has always been unpredictable. I just hope that no matter what kind of life she chooses in the future, she will treat her children well!
