Chapter 223 Mom's Call
Chen Xiaohui stood there stunned, as if struck by lightning, speechless for a long time.
Seeing Chen Xiaohui's devastated expression, Huang Duoduo curled her lips, her youthful face displaying a maturity beyond her years, and said, "So, Aunt Chen, do you think I'll let her raise it?"
Chen Xiaohui looked at Huang Duoduo, unsure how to answer the question, because she thought of what Wang Junfeng had done to An Xin.
Huang Duoduo continued, "My dad is rich, and I can live a good life with him. What does my mom have? You want me to set up a stall with her? It's so embarrassing!"
"I told my mom not to divorce my dad, but she insisted on it. Did she ever think about me?"
"She's so selfish, only thinking about herself, why should I acknowledge her as my mother?"
"She only thinks about herself, so why can't I think about myself?"
After Huang Duoduo finished speaking, she ignored Chen Xiaohui and walked away.
Chen Xiaohui stood there blankly, unable to react for a long time.
Did these words really come from a child?
That's terrifying!
Dejected, Chen Xiaohui returned to the ward and told Li Man everything Huang Duoduo had said, word for word.
After listening, Riemann sighed deeply and said nothing.
She secretly made up her mind that she must work hard to make money, make lots and lots of money.
The reason her daughter treated her this way was because she had no money.
Only now has Riemann realized the importance of money; without money, even your own family will look down on you!
That's so realistic!
...
Riemann was discharged from the hospital after staying for a little over a week.
However, Chen Xiaohui wouldn't let her set up her stall, and told her to rest at home for a few more days.
Riemann stayed home helping to skewer the skewers.
Chen Xiaohui hired a barbecue chef, and the two of them could manage the job.
The chef's skills are excellent, and business is even better than before. He's busy until 2 a.m. almost every day before he gets home.
After I got home and took a shower, it was almost three o'clock.
The next day, I had to get up early to buy groceries.
Barbecue business can be profitable, but it's all hard-earned money.
After Riemann's injuries were fully healed, she discussed with Chen Xiaohui that they would take turns going out to set up a stall with their master. The person resting at home would be responsible for buying groceries, so that the other person could sleep a little longer and wouldn't be so tired.
Chen Xiaohui thought this was a good idea, so she readily agreed.
Life went on uneventfully like that.
Although setting up a stall is tiring, Riemann is full of energy.
That day, Riemann had just returned home after grocery shopping when her phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably as soon as she saw the caller ID.
This was a number she had wanted to call countless times, but never had the courage to dial.
Looking at the constantly changing name, Riemann answered the phone, which hadn't been answered for almost eleven years, with trembling hands.
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, as if waiting for the other person to speak.
Riemann opened her mouth, but it felt as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing on her throat. After a long while, she finally managed to utter, "Mom—"
Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
An uncontrollable sob came from the other end of the phone.
"Mom... I'm sorry... Mom... I was wrong... I shouldn't have disobeyed you... I was really wrong..."
Riemann cried incoherently, apologizing repeatedly, as if only in this way could she beg for the other party's forgiveness.
"...Waaaaah... Manman... If Mom doesn't make this call for you, are you never going to call Mom for the rest of your life?"
