"I noticed that Uncle Lin seems... quite attached to your mother. How did they separate back then?"
Hearing Fang Xiaole's words, Lin Yao's eyes dimmed slightly, and she spoke softly:
"When I was a child, my father and mother often quarreled. Because my grandmother lived with us, they would restrain themselves more.
After my grandmother passed away, my mother rarely came home. However, for my sake, they never divorced. It was not until I entered high school that they quietly went through the divorce procedures.
They thought I didn't know, but I actually skipped class that day and followed them quietly.
I remember that after I got home that day, my mother bought a lot of my favorite dishes and cooked a large table full of them. It was snowing outside that day.
Our family of three all pretended to be very happy, and that was also our last reunion dinner together..."
As Lin Yao spoke, a layer of mist rose in her eyes. Fang Xiaole gently put his arm around her shoulders. Lin Yao leaned in his arms and continued:
"Later, my mother left home. At first, she would come to see me from time to time, but when I was in my second year of high school, I heard that she married an actor.
When my father found out, he got really angry and never allowed my mother to visit me again.”
Hearing this, Fang Xiaole suddenly realized: "Is this why Uncle Lin hates the entertainment industry so much? It turns out that his love rival back then was an actor."
Lin Yao nodded: "Yes, I heard my father say it once. He said that my mother left home because of that actor, so my father has always hated people in the entertainment industry."
Could it be that my father-in-law was cheated on back then?
Fang Xiaole couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Lin Duanzheng. No wonder he was so extreme.
"After I finished my college entrance exam, I heard that the actor had died of a serious illness. My father seemed to have gone to look for my mother, but I don't know what happened between them. He has been in a bad mood since he came back.
After that, I went to college and my mother would transfer some living expenses to me every month, but I never accepted it.
It wasn't until that day when I couldn't help but call her that I found out that she already had a daughter. This was probably the reason why she had never come to see me.
Actually, my dad has never forgotten my mom, but every time he talks to her on the phone, they always argue. I guess they will never reconcile."
Lin Yao lowered her eyes and Fang Xiaole gently hugged her. For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room was peaceful and warm.
Suddenly, a cell phone rang, breaking the silence.
Lin Yao picked up the phone, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Is it Mom?"
