The parents stood by, their eyes reddening. They rubbed their hands, not knowing what to say, only feeling that their daughter had suffered too much.
Guan Lian quickly stopped talking, suddenly realizing that facing the young man was the same as facing Chen Wei in the past. She no longer wanted to explain to him; let him do whatever he wanted.
"...Since you want to stay here, then stay. I am your mother, but I can't tie you to my side."
After saying that, I felt like laughing. I had always thought it was my own wishful thinking, believing that it was for his own good, without ever really asking him what he thought. I never expected that in my son's eyes, he didn't need it.
He even blamed her for taking him away, so far away from his father.
Chen Junsheng kept his head down as he got to the back, suddenly lacking the courage to look his mother in the eye.
The words he just blurted out were mostly things his father and grandmother had said to his mother when they were arguing. He didn't know why he remembered them all and repeated them without thinking at that moment.
"I……"
He wanted to explain that he didn't do it on purpose. He did see his mother walking with that uncle at that time, but they were just discussing issues at night school.
Even though he knew there was nothing wrong with it, Chen Junsheng couldn't understand why he would always remember the scene of his mother and that uncle together, and why he would associate the words his father and grandmother said with that scene.
Guan Lian didn't stop to wait for him. She quickly turned and left. The sound of her footsteps as she walked down the stairs gradually echoed in the corridor. The sound was empty and lonely, like the slow beat of a drum in his heart.
Her parents were still standing there, staring at the young man with a mixture of eagerness and barely concealed intent, their lips twitching slightly.
"Get out of here! What are you still doing here? You're not welcome in our house, you're bad luck! If you don't leave, I'll grab a broom and chase you all out, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Relying on her grandson, Yang Chunhua felt that she had won back some ground against their family. She immediately stood up from the ground, her voice hoarse but her neck raised, and patted the dust off her body as she stared at Guan Lian's parents with a gloomy expression, as if she would pounce on them and start a fight if they didn't leave.
Didn't they see that his daughter left helplessly, as if her mother had died? What could they possibly do if they stayed here?
This time, she will show no mercy.
"This is my last warning to you. The two children agreed to each take one of them, and I am willing to stay with us. If you dare to come to our house to take the children again, I will come to your house with a knife."
This child isn't ungrateful, so let's keep him for now. It would be best if he caused them trouble.
Guan Lian's parents ignored her harsh words and just stood there wanting to take another look at Xiao Sheng, to say something to him and persuade him. However, Xiao Sheng hid behind Chen Wei and kept his head down, staring at his toes.
Finally, the couple sighed and, supporting each other, slowly went downstairs and left.
As the last footsteps echoed back, the neighbors in the stairwell sighed and said nothing more, returning to their homes. Soon, it was as quiet as if nothing had happened.
Yang Chunhua got up and spat on the ground. They had been neighbors for decades, and Guan Lian's mother had stepped on her face, but these people acted as if they hadn't seen it and didn't offer to lend a hand. She remembered this, and they would never expect her to help them again.
"After being neighbors for so many years, I've finally seen through you. You've just been standing by and watching the show. If anything happens in the future, don't blame me for just standing there and watching the show!"
She stood with her hands on her hips, pointed at the air, and cursed wildly, but no one paid any attention to her. Chen Wei slowly stood up and patted the young man on the shoulder.
“Son, I’ve never spoiled you for nothing. You’ll stay here from now on. Everything in our family is yours. From now on, you’ll be my only son.”
As for the eldest son, it doesn't matter whether he exists or not. Back then, Guan Lian locked him outside and threw him in the snow. The boy saw him but didn't ask a single question, not even raising his eyes. He's cold-hearted and heartless, just like his mother. The younger son is much better.
Chen Junsheng's heart was still pounding. He looked up and met his father's gaze, trying to get confirmation from his eyes that he hadn't done anything wrong today.
It was Mom and Grandma who went too far. How could they lay a hand on Grandma and Dad? If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have said those things.
Besides, those words were just... just said in the heat of the moment; he didn't mean it.
Chen Wei's eyes were full of relief and pride. This child had chosen him over Guan Lian, and in his opinion, this was something worth celebrating with firecrackers.
I finally got to vent my anger today.
To make her happy, she had initially tried to set a trap by saying she didn't want the child and was going to run away with another man. Naturally, Chen Wei wouldn't let her have her way, so he took their almost-adult eldest son.
Who would have thought it was all an act, and in the end, both children were abducted.
“Good boy, you did a good job. Your mom and dad went too far. Dad still remembers our past relationship. In the end, we are still family. We didn’t want to fight with them, but she just started hitting people.”
It's one thing for Dad to get beaten, but your grandma is already so old and is an elder..."
In any case, on the scales in my heart right now, he is more important than Guan Lian. Chen Wei wants to slowly make the child's heart completely lean towards him, but he also knows that it is not advisable to rush things.
After all, this child was raised by his mother before, and Guan Lian hadn't done anything seriously wrong.
He could only slowly apply the eye drops. Anyway, he would stay here in the future, and he didn't believe that the child wouldn't forget her after a few more years.
Chen Wei continued speaking slowly, repeatedly affirming that he had done the right thing today, saying that there was a reason for everything, and that if his mother hadn't gone so far, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Xiao Sheng gradually calmed down. Yes, Dad was right; it was all because Mom had gone too far.
"Your dad and grandma only love you. When you grow up, Dad will give you his job. When you grow up, you must always remember our kindness and not let your mom deceive you. It will make us sad."
