Gu Yujin leaned against the wall and glanced at his mother: "What are you doing here?" His tone was very distant, and he didn't seem to know that they were mother and son. It felt like they were strangers, even colder than strangers.
Zhao Lan couldn't bear to see her son suffering like this, so she bent over and went inside, grabbing Gu Yujin who was sitting on the wooden plank: "Jin, you have to come with me today, we're not staying in this wretched place!"
But how could Zhao Lan possibly pull Gu Yujin, a tall Australian boy who is only one meter tall?
He broke free, his face full of impatience: "Mom, didn't I say I wasn't leaving? I won't leave, I want to join the army!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lan was so angry that her chest ached: "You want to join the army? No way! I've already gotten you an acceptance letter from an elite school in the US. You'll be leaving the country in a week!"
Join the army?
Zhao Lan would absolutely not allow it. She saw that the man she liked was destined to spend his entire life in the military.
I don't want my precious son to become like that!
Moreover, soldiers inevitably get injured or even lose their lives. Gu Yujin is Zhao Lan's lifeblood. First of all, he is Zhao Lan's only child. Secondly, this child was born to the man she loves. All of this makes Zhao Lan value the child so much that she cannot tolerate even the slightest injury.
Gu Yujin realized that her own mother was about to send her abroad, and she jumped up: "No, I won't go abroad, I'd rather die than go abroad, don't even think about it!"
In his excitement, he even jumped up, slamming his head heavily against the ceiling: "Ouch~"
When Zhao Lan saw that her son had hit his head, she asked worriedly, "What happened? Are you hurt? The car is right outside, let's go to the hospital right away. Why don't you listen to your mother? Would your mother hurt you?"
Gu Yujin grimaced in pain, but after hearing Zhao Lan's words, he endured the pain in his head and said, "Yes, you won't hurt me. You just like to control me. Didn't you often make me tell Dad to come see me? Ha, you say you're here to see me, but you know perfectly well what you really mean!"
Zhao Lan probably never expected to be so hurtfully criticized by her own son.
But he is still his biological father: "What nonsense! Shouldn't your father come to see you? It's his duty."
Gu Yujin was amused by his mother's words: "Oh? That's right? Then shouldn't it be the same for Gu Bodan? He's Dad's first wife's child, much more precious than me, the son of the mistress!"
"Smack!"
Zhao Lan slapped Gu Yujin across the face: "How old are you? What nonsense are you spouting? What original wife? What mistress? Only the one who isn't loved is the mistress, you know? You are the fruit of my love with your father, and you deserve the best of everything. That worthless son of yours is just a blade of grass, not even comparable to you."
Is the one who isn't loved the third party?
Gu Yujin was almost disgusted by her own mother's shameless behavior. If this is the case, then should the five thousand years of Chinese propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame be fed to the dogs?
"Get out of here. Don't bother with me anymore. Didn't you agree with the Gu family that you wouldn't interfere in my affairs anymore? How long has it been? Why are you doing it again? Do you think the Gu family is someone you can play with?"
Zhao Lan regretted agreeing to Old Master Gu's conditions, and only took advantage of this hard-won opportunity to make her move.
How could I abandon my own son, who is also his mother? If I really gave up on him, how could I ever face that man again?
