Chapter 518: Unfulfilled Promise
During that time, his mother treated him well again, as gentle as she had been when they were children.
He thought she had come to her senses.
He also thought that as long as he studied hard, worked a few more jobs when he grew up, and rented a small house outside, he would be able to bring his mother out.
They can start over.
He will take good care of his mother's health and take her out for a trip when the weather is good.
Unfortunately, the boy at that time didn’t know that the woman was nice to him only because she had the illusion that love had returned.
Until one day, school was dismissed early.
Outside the shabby wooden door in the slums, he saw the man’s original wife, who was as pale as a ghost as he was.
The ambiguous and impulsive noises coming from behind the door, which had no soundproofing at all, instantly plunged everything into an irreversible hell.
He has always been excluded and isolated in the Shao family.
He never cared.
However, after this day, there was more than just isolation.
The young master of the Shao family, who seemed polite and never spoke to him, began to order the servants to lock him in the room and beat him to death.
He was forced to eat the servants' leftovers and locked in his bedroom on school mornings.
All kinds of weird and unconventional insults gradually became commonplace.
But he didn't move out.
Because he could no longer support his mother.
In the slums that day, the elegantly dressed woman left without saying a word and without making any move.
However, when the man left the slums with his pants in his hand, he was never seen again.
His mother then woke up from her brief delusion.
The increasing alcoholism and smoking completely destroyed her body and spirit.
When the illusion that "the person I love will definitely take me out and live a happy life with me" was shattered, the desperate and self-righteous love, together with the poverty that was visible before her eyes, completely turned her into a lunatic.
The boy finally fell into the scars caused by years of cursing and various objects hitting him.
Thus, those gentle moments related to his childhood were completely frozen and shattered, and the cruel reality pressed down on his shoulders like a mountain.
As dark clouds approached, all I saw and heard as I traveled back and forth between the slums and the magnificent villa area were the same vicious curses and beatings.

"Are you stupid? You still want to support your mother like this?"
Shen Pianpian said.
The girl's voice sounded a little more energetic than before, with some genuine complaints similar to usual, and even a tone of disappointment.
Yan Yi curved his lips.
"She raised me for thirteen years. Shouldn't I at least give her back that time?"
He blew a breath on the girl's head calmly, and before Shen Pianxian looked up, he continued,
"Unfortunately, she died in the seventh year."
“Until my death, I was unable to fulfill my promise to take her out of the slums.”
Hearing his cold and emotionless voice, Shen Pianpian moved uneasily and asked,
"Your mother's death has nothing to do with your stepmother?"
"You can say it's related, or you can say it's not related."
Yan Yi rubbed her head, the movement was very small, like an unintentional touch.
"Although she had her own reasons, she was ultimately forced to death by that couple."
"The day before my mother committed suicide, that woman came to the slums to look for her."
Yan Yi said lightly.
"So I can only assume that she killed my mother."
"So you took revenge?"
Shen Pianxian wanted to raise her head, but found that she couldn't do it, so she had to remain depressed.
"But you don't love her anymore."
"These are two different things."
Yan Yi said,
"Whether I love her or not, and whether I want to avenge her or not, are two completely unrelated things."
