Chapter 428: Can Mother Come Back?
Su Tan's brows furrowed in an instant, and he stared at Song Xiao coldly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
“Let go!”
Her tone was so harsh and cold that Song Xiao's face froze and her pupils shrank in fear.
His lips turned pale, as if he had never seen Su Tan look at him like that. His heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and he subconsciously let go of his hand.
Su Tan pulled her skirt back up, without even glancing at Song Xiao, and turned to Lu Zhiheng and said, "Let's go."
"This is a serious matter, we must discuss it carefully."
The word "we" divided her, Suisui and Lu Zhiheng into the same camp.
Song Xiao and Song Tingchen are complete outsiders and will never be able to fit in among them.
Song Xiao's face turned pale.
By the time he reacted and wanted to chase after her, Su Tan had already turned around and entered Prince Chen's Mansion with Lu Zhiheng and Sui Sui.
Song Xiao wanted to chase after him, but was stopped outside the door by the guards of Prince Chen's Mansion with drawn swords.
Song Xiao's face was pale. He turned around and stared blankly at his father Song Tingchen.
"Father, Mother..."
Song Xiao's body shook.
"Mother, why...why don't you even want to talk to me now?"
Song Xiao no longer had the hysterical mood he had before.
Instead, there is timidity and confusion.
He has gradually realized that no matter what he does, Su Tan will never give him the slightest bit of good face.
This is not because I still have resentment towards him.
If they are resentful, perhaps there is still room for improvement between them.
But Su Tan ignored it.
From the bottom of my heart, I regarded him as a stranger.
Of course, Su Tan ignored strangers.
Even getting angry with him seems unnecessary.
Song Xiao's eyes gradually turned red.
He watched the hem of Su Tan's skirt disappear into the red gate, and his heart suddenly ached.
Song Tingchen saw Song Xiao's lips trembling, and suddenly smiled bitterly, looking at him quietly, "Xiaoxiao, why is this happening? Don't you really know?"
Song Xiao's face suddenly turned extremely pale.
He closed his eyes in pain.
He knows.
Of course it’s because of Changle.
But--
But what happened to Changle happened in a dream.
Even if it really existed, it was done by myself in another world.
Is my mother really so cruel that she would judge me based on something that didn't happen?
That was something done by myself in another world, how can I blame myself in this world?
Looking at Song Xiao's pale face, Song Tingchen felt a little bit of pity in his heart.
"Xiaoxiao, you always have to be prepared. Your mother has long been fed up with us."
Not boredom, exactly.
She disliked them for blocking her way.
But Song Tingchen always had wishful thinking and always wanted to fight for it.
Just thinking of Master Ye’s warning, Song Tingchen felt like retreating again.
At this time, Song Xiao wiped the tears from her face and suddenly looked at Song Tingchen.
"Father."
"I know my mother might not forgive me, but if I do one thing right and she's no longer disappointed in me, will the situation be different?"
When Song Tingchen heard what Song Xiao said, he frowned subconsciously.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you going to do?"
With Master Ye around, Song Tingchen had to be careful about everything, and he was also worried that if he didn't do something well, it would cause trouble for Su Tan.
If her life was really in danger, he couldn't imagine how he would face himself and the Su family for the rest of his life.
Song Xiao slowly exhaled twice.
"Don't worry, Dad. I will never act rashly."
"I was just thinking that my mother was going to investigate a missing baby girl case this time, and the journey might be full of dangers."
"If we can protect Mother, maybe Mother will suddenly remember how good we were. Maybe then, Mother will soften her heart and forgive us."
Song Xiao thought so naively.
He knows his own worth.
On the contrary, he knew very well that if he followed Su Tan, he would not bring any help to Su Tan.
Not to mention that it will only hold Su Tan back.
She even needs to devote some time to protecting him.
But it doesn't matter. Song Xiao just needs to rush forward for Su Tan without hesitation when she is about to suffer some mild attack. He is Su Tan's child. She will not be so cold and rude to him at that time.
If she really did this, everyone in the world would criticize her and call her heartless and ungrateful.
Song Tingchen frowned.
He took one look at Song Xiao and knew what he was thinking.
He said with a sullen face, "You were able to sneak in right under the noses of the officers and soldiers and take those children away. Do you really think they are just rampant bandits?"
"Xiaoxiao, don't be so naive."
"Those are just weird evil creatures. You're so young, if you were to face them, do you really think you'd be able to escape unscathed?"
Song Xiao pursed his lips.
"But……"
But he no longer has much chance of getting his mother to forgive him.
If his mother was still unwilling to forgive him, he would have no choice but to take the risk.
He doesn't want to be called an ungrateful person anymore.
I don’t want to live the life without my mother anymore.
"No buts."
Song Tingchen interrupted Song Xiao with a cold face.
"Xiaoxiao, I know what you are thinking."
"But you have to be clear about one thing."
"If something happens to your mother because she's trying to protect you, from now on, you won't just be called an ungrateful person."
Song Xiao's face turned pale.
He lowered his head and pursed his lips, "I understand."
But he gritted his teeth unwillingly, revealing a dark expression that didn't match his age. "But am I just going to watch helplessly, watching my mother only have eyes for other people's daughters, watching her be nice to others but ignore me?"
Song Xiao's tears fell to the ground one by one.
"I won't give up."
"Father, I won't accept this."
“Why?”
"My mother should only have me as her child, why would she like someone else, that——"
Song Xiao gritted his teeth.
Thinking that he was now at the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, he swallowed back the words, "What's so good about Sui Sui?"
Otherwise, who knows if these people will stir up trouble in front of A Niang later.
He doesn't want others to be proud of him.
Song Tingchen looked at Song Xiao.
He finally reached out and touched Song Xiao's head.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry, your mother is your mother after all."
"Dad won't really let you lose your mom."
Song Xiao's eyes were still a little red, and she looked at Song Tingchen with grievance, her voice trembling slightly.
"Really?"
"Dad, please don't lie to me."
Song Tingchen looked at him and smiled helplessly.
"Don't worry, Dad will never lie to you no matter what."
Song Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"But Dad, what are you going to do?"
He really didn't know. If his mother didn't want to see them, with her ability, no matter what his father did, it would be just wishful thinking.
Song Tingchen said: "Some things may seem difficult to you, but you have to try."
Song Tingchen didn't think so.
He had no intention of pestering Su Tan any longer.
But he had to say this to please Song Xiao.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go back."
He said so.
Song Xiao nodded vigorously.
If they stayed here, who knew whether the guards of Prince Chen's Mansion would tell those annoying people what they said.
When the time comes, these people will make a fuss again.
He also wanted to interfere and sow discord between him and his mother.
As soon as he returned to the Song family, Song Xiao couldn't wait to ask, "Dad, how do you plan to make Mom change her mind?"
Song Tingchen looked at him quietly.
"Xiaoxiao, do you really know you are wrong and do you really want your mother to come back to you?"
"Or are you just not used to life without your mother?"
Song Xiao's pupils shrank sharply.
But on the surface, he coaxed his eyes and said, "Of course it's because I know that everything I did in the past was wrong."
"Now, I just want to make it up to my mother, but I don't know why, she just won't forgive me."
"Father, if Mother is willing to forgive me, I will definitely be a very good child and will never make Mother angry again."
Song Tingchen looked at Song Xiao deeply.
I don’t know what he was thinking at that glance.
After a long time, he finally hummed.
"I see."
