In the Song family, Lin Ping had been restless ever since Jiang Yi left with the child.
Normally, Jiang Yi doesn't take her child with her when she goes out.
This time, however, when Jiang Yi took the child out, Lin Ping, feeling guilty, didn't dare to stop her.
She waited anxiously at home, and kept waiting.
As darkness fell, Jiang Yi still hadn't returned, nor had she called.
Lin Ping wanted to call her son several times, but she would put the phone down after picking it up. She didn't know how to talk to Song Jie.
Lin Ping waited until midnight, but Jiang Yi didn't return, and neither did Song Jie. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and dialed Song Jie's number.
"Where are you? What time is it? Why aren't you home yet?"
The call connected, but there was no response from the other end, so Lin Ping had to speak first.
"Home? Where is there a home anymore?"
Song Jie's voice came through the receiver.
"Xiao Jie, what's wrong? Don't scare your mom!"
Lin Ping immediately panicked when she heard that Song Jie's voice sounded off.
Song Jie's loud laughter came through the microphone. First he laughed, then he cried, then he laughed again and said, "Mom, are you satisfied now?"
"Jiang Ran has divorced me!"
"I have nothing left!"
Are you happy now?
On the street, Song Jie, carrying a bottle of wine, spoke to his mother in such a loud voice for the first time in his life.
He didn't understand, he really didn't understand.
How could such a perfectly good family be gone?
"Song Jie!"
"You've gotten angry!"
"How dare you talk to me like that?"
Lin Ping had already realized that Song Jie was drunk. She was initially a little uneasy, but when she found that her son was not listening to her, she immediately exploded.
"You come back here right now, immediately!"
"If you still consider me your mother, then get back here right now!"
"I don't!"
Song Jie stiffened his neck and took another big gulp of wine. "I'm all grown up now. I don't have to listen to everything you say. I'm not going home!"
The call was immediately disconnected.
Song Jie sat down on the stone steps by the roadside and tilted his head back to gulp down another mouthful of wine.
...
Lin Ping was surprised that Song Jie dared to hang up, so she immediately called back.
When the call connected for the second time, Lin Ping took a deep breath and said, "Son, Mom knows you're feeling down. Come back first, and we can talk about it, okay?"
"Mom will go and apologize to Jiang Ran!"
"No divorce, we won't get a divorce, Mom will listen to you."
"Son, you're all I have left!"
"Your father died early, and your mother raised you alone. Do you know how much suffering your mother endured and how much hardship she went through?"
"Xiao Jie, Mom can't live without you!"
At this point, Lin Ping's voice trembled with tears.
Song Jie listened to his mother's sobbing voice through the microphone but did not respond.
Song Jie, who doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance, drank more than half a bottle of baijiu in one go. How could he possibly stay sober now?
Lin Ping was still crying and shouting, but Song Jie had already fallen asleep.
The nights in late autumn weren't cold, but sleeping outside all night like that would definitely be uncomfortable.
Lin Ping became even more anxious when she didn't hear Song Jie's response.
She rushed out of the house and began searching along the route Song Jie usually took home.
However, this was destined to be a futile effort.
...
In her hotel room, Jiang Yi had just fed her daughter a bottle of milk and was about to take a nap when her phone suddenly rang.
Upon seeing the name on the caller ID, Jiang Yi immediately hung up the phone.
From the moment she left the Song family home, she never wanted to talk to Lin Ping, that vicious mother-in-law, again.
Therefore, she would absolutely not answer Lin Ping's calls.
