But reality slapped her in the face.
There is no place of peace.
As long as human desires exist, there will never be peace.
And having no money only exacerbates this pain.
She had returned to look for Pei Ji many times, but the Pei family had very tight security, their whereabouts were elusive, and most of their assets were kept secret.
She couldn't find them at all.
But I didn't expect to meet him in this small temple in Anzhou!
Isn't this a godsend?!
Pei Ji is her son.
No matter from the legal or emotional point of view, he can't ignore her!
She applied force with her fingertips, tears of regret and longing streamed down her face, and her whole face looked a little distorted.
Pei Ji lowered his eyes and looked at her.
His eyes were dazed.
Mother?
He looked at the woman in front of him.
There were already some gray strands in her hair, and her clothes were worn out from washing.
It seems that he is not living well.
After abandoning him.
After choosing to pursue the life that he can control.
After discovering that it is not as beautiful as I imagined.
Are you finally starting to regret it?
But what does she regret, abandoning her son or her status as a wealthy wife with jewels and precious stones?
Pei Ji felt dizzy in the sunlight.
Even a little nauseous.
"Ma'am, you've got the wrong person." He brushed her hand away with a gentle smile on his face.
But his eyes were as cold as ice.
"Admit your mistake?" Tears fell on the woman's face.
Suddenly, he grabbed his arm with his backhand.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
"Pei Ji, you must still be blaming Mom, right?" She looked a little flustered. "It's Mom's fault. I shouldn't have abandoned you."
"But I had no choice!"
"Over the years, there has not been a single moment where I haven't regretted it!"
"Pei Ji, please forgive Mom, please forgive Mom, okay?"
After realizing that her crying and begging were futile, the woman's face showed some anger.
The words that came out of his mouth turned into accusations.
"You are a piece of flesh that fell from my body, how can you not recognize your mother?!"
"How did you become such an ungrateful, ungrateful person? Did the Pei family teach you bad things? Did they not allow you to recognize me?!"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and the more ferocious her expression became.
Pei Ji's whole body suddenly turned cold.
There was a gloomy look behind the lenses.
"Ma'am, if you don't let go, I'm going to call the police."
He pushed her aside heavily.
Walk to the shady area behind the temple.
He shook off the crowd and immersed himself completely in the darkness, then he leaned against the wall and slowly sat down.
He took off his glasses, bent his knees, and leaned his pale face against it, letting the last ray of light disappear from his sight.
Then he slowly put on a miserable smile.
How ridiculous...
The memories that had been abandoned in the past, the memories that he had deliberately forgotten, suddenly at this moment, flooded into his mind with incomparable clarity.
The pain came back to him, making every pore of his body feel as if it were soaked by heavy rain.
And this reunion with his father made him realize how disgusting and unbearable he was.
He even ignores his own mother. What a beast.
He didn't understand why it was always like this.
Every time, when he thought he was about to see the light, God would lower heavy curtains to block his way.
It's so close to the light.
Such a dazzling and beautiful thing, it appeared beside him like an incredible miracle.
He was almost completely possessing her.
But unfortunately.
God had to remind him so cruelly.
He was born to be the darkest and most shameless rat in the land.
He doesn't deserve her at all.
Pei Ji's shoulders trembled, his eyes misted over, and finally he even burst into laughter.
"Pei Ji?"
Pei Ji's body stiffened and he suddenly looked up.
He watched Chen Zhiyi slowly approach him and squatted in front of him.
He asked her with a silent and somewhat dejected look in his eyes.
"Baby."
"Am I... trash?"
