437: Chapter 431 Mother 437: Chapter 431 Mother “Who is it?
Has Hai returned?”
“Attends a university, becos wild as soon as he leaves ho, barely see his shadow.”
“He rarely cos ho; no, I must make him braised pork, that’s his favorite…”
In the living room, an elderly woman with a full head of white hair sat on the sofa.
Her eyes were cloudy, and she looked utterly dazed.
After glancing at Chen Hai, she mumbled to herself and stood up, preparing to walk toward the kitchen.
“Auntie ixian, it’s not Hai who has co back; it’s this young man who has co to see you.”
“Don’t wander about carelessly and risk falling.
Whatever you need to do, let handle it!”
Seeing Jiang ixian like this, the woman who had just closed the door quickly moved to her side, soothing her and steadying her.
“Hasn’t Hai co back?
Oh, I see!” Jiang ixian nodded and sat back down on the sofa.
A few steps away, Chen Hai, witnessing this scene, could no longer control his tears, which stread down his face.
“Mom, I’m Hai, your son has been unfilial and returned late…”
He forgot about the presence of a stranger and knelt before his mother, tears gushing like beads off a string, dropping continuously onto the ground.
“Has Hai co back?
I’ll go make braised pork for him right now!”
Her gaze still vacant, Jiang ixian was ready to stand up again and head to the kitchen.
“Auntie ixian, please stay seated, don’t move.
This young man is joking with you!” The woman beside her hurriedly intervened to calm the situation again.
At the sa ti, she glared at Chen Hai, her face full of dissatisfaction.
Although she had never t Jiang ixian’s son, Chen Hai, she knew he should be around fifty years old.
This young man in front of her claid to be Jiang ixian’s son, Chen Hai – could that be possible?
In her view, this youngster was purely here to cause trouble.
Perhaps he had his eye on Auntie ixian’s properties and was staging this drama in an attempt to impersonate her real son!
Seeing the young man in front of her with a guilty face, tears still pouring wildly,
The woman’s face showed deep disdain: “Good acting, young man.
So imrsed in your role?
So convinced you are the real son, Chen Hai?”
“If she were a lonely widow, maybe this young man might have succeeded.”
“Too bad, he knows nothing about the background of this household.
No matter how imrsed he is in his act, it’s all a waste of energy!”
Thinking this, she quietly stood up, taking advantage of Chen Hai’s inattention, and slipped into the bathroom.
After a few minutes, she erged, and the young man had stopped crying, but his eyes were still red.
He sat beside Auntie ixian, alternately peeling oranges and cutting apples for her, looking very attentive.
Regrettably, everything he did was utterly futile.
Auntie ixian didn’t respond to him, and after speaking a few words, she would get up, intending to cook braised pork.
“What’s your na, miss?” Finally, Chen Hai’s gaze returned to the woman.
With a suspicious look and slightly hostile tone, he questioned her.
His mother’s state was clearly that of dentia brought on by longing.
It’s impossible that she would hire a caretaker herself.
If that’s the case, who brought this woman here?
Chen Hai was truly puzzled.
“My na is Wang Dii.
And you?
What’s your na?”
“You wouldn’t try to tell that your real na is Chen Hai, and you are Aunt ixian’s son, right?”
With a hint of mockery, the woman stared straight at Chen Hai and spoke.
Chen Hai just smiled and remained silent, not bothering to answer the question raised by Wang Dii.
After all, so things are difficult to explain, and there was no need for him to offer further explanations to this self-proclaid caretaker in front of him.
“Speak up, you, the caretaker, who hired you to co here?”
The look in his eyes suddenly beca intimidating, and the pressure that Chen Hai had been deliberately concealing erupted once more, directly bearing down on Wang Dii in front of him.
Wang Dii, who had already decided that the young man claiming to be Chen Hai was definitely up to no good, likely a swindler, felt inexplicably frightened in the face of Chen Hai.
“I…
I…”
“My cousin asked to co here and be a caretaker for this family.”
“She is Vice County Magistrate Zhao’s secretary; taking good care of Aunt ixian is a task entrusted by Deputy County Magistrate Zhao…”
Just a hint of pressure was enough to make Wang Dii flush and stamr in her explanation.
Withdrawing that hint of pressure and having heard this answer from Wang Dii’s mouth, Chen Hai felt even more puzzled and his frown deepened.
In his mory, he didn’t know many people with the surna Zhao; just who was this Deputy County Magistrate Zhao?
He had no clue whatsoever.
“I have already called my cousin earlier and told her about you impersonating Chen Hai and coming here.”
“It won’t be long before she definitely brings people over here.”
“If you’re really up to no good and planning to deceive, I suggest you run as far as you can, as fast as you can!”
Without the pressure bearing down anymore, Wang Dii had sowhat returned to normal.
With an evasive gaze still tinted with a bit of fear, she warned Chen Hai.
“Is that so?
Did your cousin ntion whether Deputy County Magistrate Zhao would co here himself?”
“He will definitely co.
What, are you scared?”
“Scared?
Impossible.
I’ll just wait here to see just how ‘saintly’ this Vice County Magistrate Zhao you’re talking about really is!”
…
No matter what the reason was for Wang Dii to co here as a caretaker and look after his mother, despite not having made significant contributions, she at least had put forth so hard work.
After exchanging a few casual words with her, Chen Hai didn’t give her a hard ti and refocused his attention on his mother, Jiang ixian.
In less than ten minutes, there was a knock on the door.
Glancing at Chen Hai and seeing that he had no reaction, Wang Dii hurriedly got up, walked quickly to the door, and swung it open.
Outside the door, the person at the forefront was a woman in her forties with short hair, dressed in professional attire, looking very capable.
Following her were a man and a woman, one on each side.
Judging from the attire and deanour of these two, the young woman was probably her secretary, and the man seed to be her driver.
If nothing else, this middle-aged woman should be the Vice County Magistrate Zhao that Wang Dii had ntioned without a doubt.
The group walked straight into the living room.
After scanning around, their eyes all converged on Chen Hai.
“Sister i, is this the kid who claims to be Chen Hai, saying he is Aunt ixian’s son?”
The person who spoke up and asked this question was the woman who seed to be the secretary, following right behind Vice County Magistrate Zhao.
“Yes, yes, yes, Xiaofen, it’s him!” Wang Dii quickly nodded and responded.
“Vice County Magistrate Zhao, what do you think…” Hearing this, Xiaofen and the man who looked like the driver both turned their gaze towards Vice County Magistrate Zhao.
Vice County Magistrate Zhao, however, didn’t pay them any attention.
Upon seeing Chen Hai for the first ti, she paused, and her whole being seed montarily lost.
“Godfather…” After a mont of hesitation, she finally ventured to speak, uttering two words.
