Chapter 69: Cold-Hearted Mother



Hearing his fiancée's question, Hua Deli nodded, and the smile on his face became even deeper. He said to Mina-Oli, "My mother asked me to tell you that you are welcome to come to our house after the special training. She hasn't seen you for a long time."

Mina-Oli was a little surprised that even she mentioned it. It seemed that not only her aunt was at home yesterday, but she also talked a lot with Hua Deli. No wonder he was in such a good mood today.

As Walder's fiancée, Mina-Oli had naturally met her future mother-in-law, Mrs. Walder's second wife, Lizzie Amber, many times.

Therefore, Mina-Oli knew that Aunt Lizzie had always been cold and silent towards her son, Walder. Aunt Lizzie was always busy in the army and seldom came home. She rarely asked about Walder's upbringing. Walder could be said to have been brought up by his father.

Therefore, every time Hua Deli received care from his mother, he would be in a so good mood that he couldn't hide it.

Mina-Oli could understand her fiancé's feelings very well, because she was in a worse situation than Walder. Walder's mother was often not at home, and his father often took him with him, while she could count the number of times she saw her parents in a year on her five fingers.

She called home last night, and the person who answered her message was still the old housekeeper who had taken care of her since she was a child.

Seeing that Walder was happy, Mina-Oli felt a little disappointed but was still happy for him. However, Instructor Dudley came over and the two of them quickly shut up and stood at attention.

Mina-Oli turned her head and saw the profile of Ruo Manni beside her, and a very inexplicable feeling surged in her heart again.

They really look alike. Over the past month, the more she looked at her, the more she felt that Rumanni and Aunt Lizzie were 50% or 60% similar, while Hua Deli, her biological son, was only 20% or 30% like Aunt Lizzie. It was true that there were many strange things in the world.

That night, Li Qixing was in the yard, enjoying the sea breeze and chatting sweetly with his wife, when the laptop in his hand suddenly beeped, interrupting the couple's lovey-dovey conversation.

"Who is it, it's so late?" Mrs. Li pouted a little unhappily.

Her husband, who was very busy, rarely took a long vacation to accompany her, so they went to the Blue Sea Planet without even taking their son with them, just to spend some sweet time together. But they still couldn't have peace, as someone kept disturbing them with messages.

"It's my cousin." Li Qixing gave his wife an apologetic look and then answered the message.

Mrs. Li watched her husband's expression change from relaxed at the beginning to extremely serious. He had been listening quietly to his cousin on the other end of the message, but he himself hadn't spoken a word. It was obvious that his cousin had something important to do.

Mrs. Li was a little surprised. Her husband's cousin was always quiet and taciturn. What could have made her speak so long? Just as she was thinking this, Mrs. Li saw anger in her husband's eyes.

"How could you do such a stupid thing? Why didn't you say anything all along? You should have investigated it..."

"Even if the Amber family and the Huade family don't support you, you still have our Li family." Li Qixing scolded his cousin in a low voice with some anger.

"What else is there to say? Family is important, but you are not important. Have you ever thought about how pitiful that child is?"

Mrs. Li was very surprised to see her husband's toothache and headache after he hung up the message. Her husband had always been a gentle gentleman, and she had rarely seen him so angry. What did his cousin say or do?

Mrs. Li asked with concern, "What's the matter?"

"My cousin did something wrong when she was young. I never knew she was so stupid. She was in a bad mood when she shouldn't be. Even at this time, she just wanted me to intervene... I'm sorry, dear. This is her private matter. She doesn't want me to tell anyone." Li Qixing suppressed his anger and spoke softly to his wife.

Mrs. Li was not angry that her husband's cousin did not want her to know the inside story. It was normal not to want others to know about private matters. After all, she was just the cousin's wife, and she didn't like to meddle in other people's business anyway.

Although her husband's cousin was not a person who didn't know what was going on, Mrs. Li was still a little worried: "Will what she asked you to do have an impact on you?"

Li Qixing sighed: "No, it's very likely that I got a great advantage."

That's fine, as long as my husband doesn't suffer any loss. Mrs. Li put the matter aside and said gently, "You said you would accompany me these few days, you won't change your mind, right?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen. Nothing is more important than your wife."...

In the dead of night, Mrs. Li woke up drowsily and found her husband leaning against the bed, searching something on his laptop. She took a sleepy look and saw that it was information about the military academy. Mrs. Li couldn't help but mutter, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Aren't you tired yet?"

"You go to sleep first, I'll be quick."

In the blink of an eye, the freshmen had been training for more than a month, and everyone's progress was visible to the naked eye. They originally thought that this kind of training would continue until the start of school, but who knew that on the last night of July, Instructor Dali suddenly let them take a night off and dropped a bomb: "The physical training ends today, and starting tomorrow, it will be changed to mecha training."

The freshmen were caught off guard and took two seconds to react. They were still a little bit incredulous: "Instructor, do you mean we can drive the mecha?"

For young men who are into mecha combat, mecha is their ultimate goal.

But mechas are expensive. If you don’t have a mine at home, you can’t even afford a first-level mecha. Even if you go to a mecha club for training, it is not affordable for ordinary people.

Therefore, even disciples from big families like Hua Deli have only been on mechas a few times. Although they don't have to worry about not having mechas, they can't just use mechas whenever they want due to the occasion.

Moreover, the Gus Empire not only has restrictions on the occasions for piloting mechas, but also age restrictions. Only those who are over 14 years old can touch mechas. They are only 15 years old now, and at most they have only touched mechas a few times.

You can imagine how excited the freshmen were when they realized what was happening. They immediately surrounded Instructor Dudley and asked him all sorts of questions, completely ignoring his sullen face.

Ruo Manni was even more excited because she was a country bumpkin from the Earth era, where mechas were just a beautiful fantasy.

After being reborn into the world of this book, although she had assembled various types of mechas in Skynet herself, she had never had the opportunity to see the real thing in reality.

When she was brought to this special training base, Ruo Manni had also looked forward to being able to drive a mecha, but the area here was too small and there was no mecha training base.

There is still a month left before school starts. If I start training tomorrow, I can train for at least twenty days.

Ruo Manni was secretly disappointed at first, but she didn't expect that the instructor would arrange such a big surprise for them.

"Right now, immediately, go back and pack your things. The warship will be here in half an hour. If you are slow, just go back the same way." Instructor Dudley didn't say much, just gave the order directly.

"Yeah!" The freshmen excitedly trotted towards their dormitories, so fast that it seemed as if their tails were stepped on.
