Chapter 626: Chapter 635 I’ll Die for You to See if You Don’t Go Back
Mrs. Han disdainfully looked toward Bai Zhi with mockery in her eyes, as if Bai Zhi were a sparrow fancifully dreaming of turning into a phoenix by relying on Han Feng.
She would never succeed; how could she agree to this matter?
Han Feng would definitely marry soone who could contribute to his career, not so girl from a backwoods village.
What use did he have for Bai Zhi, who couldn’t help with Han Feng’s future at all?
“Bai Zhi, I know you’re a good girl, capable, but you and my Ah Feng are incomparable. His future is in Imperial City, and you…”
She didn’t outright say it, but the implication was clear: you just don’t asure up.
Bai Zhi certainly understood, and Han Feng was already trembling with anger.
How could she speak to him like this normally, how dare she speak to Xingxing this way?
“Mom, what are you doing? How can you talk to Xingxing like that? She’s still a child!”
Considering this, how would Xingxing feel, and how would they interact in the future?
Would Xingxing harbor resentnt and grow even more distant from him?
He looked at Bai Zhi, only to see her eyes completely devoid of emotion, as if she hadn’t heard a word, offering no defense either.
Her calmness unnerved him…
“I’m only doing this for your sake. You should know that you will surely rise high. Why waste ti playing with her? Do you still think you’re that fool?”
Mrs. Han slapped Han Feng directly, leaving him dazed, unsure of what had just occurred.
“I raised you not to dwell in this poor countryside but to escape this broken place. And now you tell you like it here?
Is it because of this worthless girl, tell ?”
Mrs. Han angrily pointed at Bai Zhi.
She advanced towards Bai Zhi with a raised hand.
But in the next mont, her arm was caught by two hands.
One of them was Bai Zhi’s.
Naturally, she wasn’t going to let Mrs. Han hit her. The other hand belonged to Han Feng…
Just monts ago, he had been five ters away, but he now rushed forward and grabbed Mrs. Han’s hand.
He then pushed Mrs. Han far away.
Bai Zhi watched the scene with mixed feelings.
“What are you doing? How dare you lay a hand on . Han Feng, have you forgotten who raised you?”
Han Feng scoffed coldly, no longer pretending, and looked coldly at her.
“Of course I know. In the early years, it was my dad. After he died, you brought here. I grew up on others’ charity during my clear-headed days. You ignored later, and I beca a fool because you were too busy playing cards to take to the hospital.”
Han Feng knew all of this. The only reason he hadn’t ntioned it was that he still considered her his mother and didn’t want to make things too ugly.
But she had crossed a line—Xingxing was his limit.
No one was allowed to harm Xingxing, absolutely not.
This so-called mom was cursing him for being useless while playing cards when he was feverish.
Later, she portrayed herself as a hard-working mother while neglecting him entirely,
leaving him to scrounge for food.
Without Xingxing, his life might have been even more pathetic and disgraceful…
“Later, it got even better, giving you a reason to neglect . You needed to make money for my dical expenses, which just ant going to town to find a new place to gamble.
What I ate, drank, or wore—you didn’t care at all, yet you had the nerve to tell about your hardships.
I know everything, and the only reason I haven’t said anything is because you are my mother.
But that doesn’t an I can tolerate you speaking about Xingxing that way.
Without Xingxing, what would I have beco under your neglect? Maybe I would have been dumped in a river or died lost in the mountains, right? Could you still be so arrogant then?”
Han Feng said it all was true; he often encountered the lost Han Feng in the hills, sotis at the foothills, sotis halfway up.
He always carried a smile and with the most innocent eyes, cupped the fruits in his palms and presented them before her.
Later on, every ti she went up the mountain, Han Feng would accompany her, claiming he was there to protect her, and then they would search for food together.
“So what?”
Mrs. Han was initially surprised, not expecting Han Feng to talk back, but quickly ca to her senses — why should she be afraid of her own son?
“I am your mother; whether I’ve looked after you or not, I am still your mother. You appreciate her, sure, you can just give her so money. Don’t fantasize about anything else.”
Fantasies,” that word was rightly said.
He always feared, always feared that everything was his illusion.
Xingxing is still young and doesn’t understand what emotions are. What about later…
When he’s not there, might soone take advantage of the situation?
“This isn’t any of your business.”
Han Feng’s face was stern as he looked indifferently at Mrs. Han.
“Otherwise, just go back by yourself. I won’t go with you.”
As long as she could bear that consequence.
Even now, that person, that family had never accepted her.
She would face disdain if she went back alone.
Yet she wanted to go back nevertheless, though Han Feng wouldn’t understand.
If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t want to live so undignifiedly, but what did it have to do with him when it’s her choice, and it involved no one else?
“You!”
Mrs. Han was furious; she certainly knew what kind of temperant her son had. Since she couldn’t reason with him here, she’d have to turn to Bai Zhi.
But for her to set aside her dignity with Bai Zhi… she was truly reluctant.
In the past, she was the lowest in the village, a widow and her son considered a fool, mocked and ridiculed by others.
But now things were different…
Now, her son was sothing she could be proud of. How could Bai Zhi asure up to her son?
“Bai Zhi, I was too harsh earlier; I apologize, but please, talk to him. Imperial City is a place many people break their heads trying to get into.
He mustn’t give it up. I know you two are close, but no matter how close, you need to differentiate what’s truly good for him, right?”
Her attitude now was completely different from earlier.
“Even if he’s unwilling? Even if it doesn’t make him happy?”
Bai Zhi’s cold gaze held a trace of sympathy.
“You’re just at the village gate, and I’m his mother; I couldn’t possibly harm him. What does happiness matter, when he has money and status in the future? What can’t you buy, what’s there to fear?”
In Mrs. Han’s eyes, what couldn’t money buy?
If only she had known he was from a wealthy family at the beginning, how could she not have pushed him to return?
What’s so important about freedom compared to money?
“So your son is just a tool for making money, you’ll regret this.”
In that mont, she seed to understand why Han Feng was so unhappy.
“I will never regret it, but I will regret if he doesn’t co back.
Han Feng, if you don’t return, I’ll just die to show you.”
Mrs. Han clenched her teeth and threw down the gauntlet.
Han Feng: “…” Whether she lives or dies doesn’t concern him much.
“Apologize to Xingxing right now, or I won’t be returning.”
