Despite saying he wanted a divorce, Xie Sidu didn't actually take any further action.
She even took the initiative to have a meal with Xie Ziyuan. Of course, after returning, Xie Ziyuan said to Aunt Wan with a wry smile, "No banquet is a good banquet. I really envy Sister Xie Li."
When the news reached Ding Huizhu's ears, it was like a knife to her heart.
The daughter she cherished dearly was being relentlessly pressured by the man she considered her husband, whom she considered the love of his life.
"Zi'an, can you really bear to watch your father treat your sister like this?" Ding Huizhu couldn't understand, so she called Xie Zi'an to cry and complain.
Xie Zian was woken up after only half an hour of sleeping, and he was feeling quite listless. The pressure of studying in the top class was immense. Although he was somewhat clever, he had to put in an extraordinary amount of effort to maintain his top grades. As a result, he studied until 1 a.m. before going to sleep.
But he had to pull himself together and comfort Ding Huizhu: "Mom, don't be sad."
How could Ding Huizhu not be heartbroken? Hearing her son's words of comfort, tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
She talked on and on for over an hour, recounting all the things Xie Li had done and Xie Sidu's ruthlessness.
Xie Zian was so tired that he fell asleep on the other end of the phone.
Ding Huizhu was dissatisfied and shouted loudly, "Zi'an, Zi'an, are you there?!"
Xie Zian was startled awake and gave a wry smile: "Mom, I'm here."
In the past, Ding Huizhu would always make sure he got enough sleep so as not to disturb his studies.
The accelerated pace and high pressure of the advanced class mean that only by ensuring sufficient sleep can students be in the best possible condition to face the heavy workload of the next day.
However, recently, Ding Huizhu seems to have forgotten that he is still a student. Whenever she is saddened late at night, she will call him to confide in him.
During this period, Xie Zian's sleep time was severely compressed, making it difficult for him to concentrate on his studies during the day, and his grades have already shown signs of decline.
This can't go on forever. Xie Zi'an smiled wryly and gently reminded her, "Mom, it's too late. Let's go to sleep. I have school tomorrow."
Ding Huizhu instantly exploded, "Even you despise me?!"
"No, I didn't." Xie Zian had a bit of a headache, unsure how to explain. "I just thought it was too late. Don't you need your beauty sleep?"
Ding Huizhu stubbornly replied, "What beauty sleep? I'm so angry!"
She was wide awake and couldn't sleep at all. But if she forced herself to lie in bed, she would only think of Xie Sidu's cold-heartedness and Xie Li's rebellious and unfilial behavior. The more she thought about it, the less she could sleep.
I can't sleep at night, so I feel drowsy during the day and sleep for several hours. Then I feel energetic again at night. This cycle repeats itself and has almost become a habit.
The dead of night is when one's willpower is at its weakest. Can't she confide in her son?
Xie Zi'an used to be the most filial and sensible person, so why is he unwilling to even listen to her talk? Could it be that he has completely turned against Xie Li and no longer wants her as his mother?
Ding Huizhu became increasingly panicked. "If you don't acknowledge me as your mother, just hang up. I will never call you again!"
Xie Zian couldn't possibly ignore her, after all, she was his mother, so he could only force himself to talk to Ding Huizhu.
Knowing that Xie Zian was often harassed by Ding Huizhu's phone calls late at night, Xie Ziyuan specially sent him a bottle of Angong Niuhuang Wan that Ding Huizhu had made.
Ding Huizhu: "Ziyuan's medicine is the most effective. After you take Angong Niuhuang Wan, you won't be too tired."
After all, he was her own son, and Ding Huizhu still knew how to cherish him.
Xie Zian tightened his grip on his fingers: "Yes, I know, Mom."
