"Hello, who is it?" The male protagonist picked up his incessantly ringing phone, swiped it, and said impatiently.
"Haotian, where are you? I haven't been able to get through to you on the phone these past few days. I'm so worried about you."
With a loud "bang" and a crash, bottles scattered across the table fell to the ground. The loud drumbeats, the boisterous laughter of the crowd, and the booming music all around came through the screen.
"What's all that noise around us? Where are you?" Zhang Mianmian frowned as she listened to the voice on the other end of the line.
"Star...Starry Night Bar," the male protagonist said drunkenly.
"Okay, I'll be right there." After hanging up the phone, Zhang Mianmian immediately hailed a taxi and kept urging the driver on the way to the bar.
Back at the bar, the male protagonist was found passed out on the bar counter, making soft noises.
"Mom, Mom, please don't abandon me," the male protagonist kept repeating, his mind hazy. Meanwhile, three women surrounded him in a corner. Everyone around was engrossed in the upbeat music and energetic dancing, and no one noticed them.
"Hey bro, wake up?"
"Handsome, what number is this?" She gestured with her hand in front of the male lead's eyes.
"Little handsome boy, come home with me, I'll take you to find your mother."
"Big sister, she's passed out. It's rare to run into someone this handsome." Her hand slid down along his Adam's apple and into his clothes.
The older sister took a drag of her cigarette, exhaled, and teased, "Little sister, so impatient." She raised an eyebrow.
"Big sister, shall we leave?" The second sister raised her hand and gestured towards the door.
"Let's go, second sister, little sister, help her up and hurry up, lest some ignorant person comes and bother us, then things won't be pleasant." The eldest sister casually stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray.
Immediately, the three women helped the male protagonist to the hotel across the street, just in time to miss Zhang Mianmian, who had come to find him.
Once inside the room, they dumped the male protagonist on the bed.
"Big sister, are you drunk? Are you alright?" The second sister looked at the male lead with a drooling expression, then pouted.
"Give him this to drink." The older sister took a packet of powder from her handbag. The younger sister took it, poured the powder into a glass of water, shook it, and walked towards the male protagonist.
"Sweetie, drink some water, and your headache will go away. After you finish, I'll take you home." The little sister coaxed the male protagonist while holding the water glass to his lips, supporting his head, and making him drink it down.
"Cough cough...cough...home...Mom...home," the male protagonist mumbled as he finished drinking the water that had been adulterated with something.
After a while,
"Hot...so hot..." With a tearing sound, the male protagonist ripped his shirt, threw it on the ground, and rolled around on the bed.
The three women exchanged glances, smiled, and snapped the lights off!
The next day, sunlight shone into the room.
"Ugh, my head hurts." The male protagonist opened his eyes groggily, rubbing his temples. Suddenly, he realized he wasn't wearing any clothes, and his previously drowsy eyes widened abruptly.
He pulled back the covers and saw that he was completely naked, covered in hickeys, bite marks, and scratches. At that moment, memories of last night flashed through his mind: he was drunk, taken to a hotel by three strange women, and spent the night with them.
The thought of being forced into bed by three women, and the images that flashed through his mind, made him want to kill them. His fingers clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, veins bulging, and his teeth grinding together—he was clearly enraged to the extreme!
The thought that he was no longer a member of the Xuan family and no longer the heir of the Xuan clan filled him with rage.
After a while, he found the phone buried under his clothes. Seeing that there was only Zhang Mianmian calling, he laughed self-deprecatingly. Haha, haha, in the end, blood ties can't overcome it all. Haha, the male protagonist laughed wildly in his room.
Then she remembered that it was because she wasn't a member of the Xuan family that she went to the bar to drown her sorrows, which led to her being raped. This fueled her hatred for Mo Qian. After having her own son, she heartlessly kicked her out of the house, showing no regard for the more than twenty years of mother-son relationship they had shared!
"Hey, Haotian, I went to look for you yesterday but couldn't find you. I called you but you didn't answer. Where did you go yesterday?" After tidying himself up, the male protagonist called Zhang Mianmian back.
"I met a friend yesterday and stayed at his house for one night," the male protagonist replied expressionlessly.
"That's good. I looked all over for you yesterday and couldn't find you. I was so worried."
"I'm fine."
"Haotian, where are you? I'll come find you." Zhang Mianmian sensed something was wrong when she heard the male lead's low and dejected tone.
"Come here, I'm at..." The male protagonist gave the address of a nearby coffee shop, and then left the humiliating room.
"Haotian, what happened to you? You look terrible." After a while, Zhang Mianmian arrived at the coffee shop and saw that the male lead looked haggard, his clothes looked like they hadn't been washed for days, and he had no energy or spirit.
"I have no home anymore." The male protagonist leaned on Zhang Mianmian's shoulder, looking hurt, and hugged her.
"What do you mean? What do you mean you have no home?" Zhang Mianmian was confused by the male lead's words. However, seeing his sad appearance, she couldn't help but feel anxious. What had happened?
"Mianmian, I'm not a member of the Xuan family. My son and my mother's son were switched. Now my mother's biological son has been found, and I've been abandoned. You'll stay by my side, right? Right?" The male lead asked anxiously, his eyes red and his hands on Zhang Mianmian's shoulders. He looked extremely unwell.
I'm no longer a member of the Xuan family. Mianmian is all I have left. Mianmian, please don't leave me, or I don't know what I might do!
"Haotian, I won't leave you, calm down." Seeing that the male lead was not in a good mood, Zhang Mianmian immediately echoed him, trying to deal with the situation first.
"I knew you were the best. You're all I have." After hearing Zhang Mianmian's reply, the male protagonist slowly calmed down and hugged her.
Thankfully, Mianmian is here, and she stayed with me.
Meanwhile, Zhang Mianmian thought to herself, "What bad luck! I thought he was a rich second-generation, but it turns out he's an imposter. I got kicked out. What a waste of my time!"
He's in a bad state right now, and it's not a good time to break up with him since he's been so good to me before. The main thing is that he seems distracted and out of sorts right now, and I really don't dare to upset him further!
It would be terrible if he took his anger out on me; there have been cases like that on TV. Besides, considering what happened before, I'll wait until he's calmed down before bringing up breaking up.
Use this time to think carefully about what to do next, who else you have to choose from, and who to pick.
The thought of having to find another one and spending so much time and energy makes me want to curse.
"Haotian, don't be sad. Once Auntie has figured things out, she will acknowledge you. After all, we've been mother and son for over twenty years," Zhang Mianmian patted the male lead's shoulder to comfort him, her voice filled with concern, but her face remained expressionless.
