You nodded with a smile and shared the strategy you had already thought of, "Right, since you all ca down the mountain to train, I do have a place where you can utilize your talents, and that includes the class F4 too."
Zhang Xidong slightly lifted his head and asked, "Which place?"
"Flash Detective Agency."
...
After various threats and temptations, you finally managed to find five workers, or rather, mbers.
You gave them Xu Hai’s number; and when the six of you were leaving, Xu Hai was already waiting at the door in a rcedes-Benz van, and then took off with the five minors, all smiles.
When you got ho, it was just 6 PM, still more than an hour away from your appointnt with Zhao’er. As you unlocked the door and were lifting your head, the keys you’d just pulled out naturally fell to the ground, making a series of tallic clinks.
"Clang!"
Sitting on the old sofa in the room was a person, a woman, a woman you knew all too well!
Seeing you enter, she was all smiles and said, "Why did it take you so long to get back?"
Just like that, you suddenly didn’t know how to respond.
What attitude should you adopt in facing her?
Pretend to have amnesia?
Or...
"So, are you going to keep pretending?"
She slowly stood up, walked straight to you, and suddenly grabbed you!
"Ow! Ow! Mom, Mom! Be gentle, gentle!"
It was no other than your mother!
Indeed, she’s your own mother, no need for words, she directly used the old trick she had been using for over a decade. Once that move was executed, needless to say, you were definitely exposed.
"Hmph, still daring to pretend in front of your old mom!"
"Hehe, I won’t anymore, I’ll never dare again."
Your mother glanced you over and then said to you, "Co on, stand up."
Although you didn’t understand why she was doing this, you stood up as told.
"Lift your hands."
You lifted both hands simultaneously.
"Stomp your feet."
In order not to disturb the neighbors downstairs, you gently stomped your feet.
"Turn around."
Although it felt like training a puppy, she was after all the mother who gave birth to and raised you, so you imdiately spun around on the spot.
She slightly nodded afterward, "Hmm, your body may have been remodeled, but there hasn’t been much change; you are still the child I bore."
You covered your forehead, sitting down with a speechless expression, "You are my mom, and in this lifeti, you will always be my own mom."
"Hmm, nice to hear that," your mother said as she patted your head, her words then took on a slightly sorrowful tone, "Mu Yun, mom failed to protect you."
"Mom, please don’t say that. My getting to this point today, it’s all my own choice."
Without another word, you spun around and knelt before your mother.
"Mom, your son has been unfilial, the physical body you and dad gave has been destroyed."
"That’s nothing, all you Li family mbers are like that. Look at your father, these days he simply doesn’t even keep his physical body, just wanders between the yin and yang realms in spirit form, who can say anything about him?"
You could say that this was the first ti since you could rember that you had heard news about your father from your mother’s mouth.
Seeing you staring blankly, your mother smiled and helped you up, making you sit on the couch next to her. She affectionately stroked your head, "Surprised?"
"Ah." Not knowing what to say, you just nodded.
"I actually wanted to have him co over and et you tonight, but just like you, he always falls short at crucial monts. Despite his strong desire, he often can’t overco his worthless pride." Saying this, your mother added another sentence, "You won’t bla him, right?"
After a mont of silence, you slightly shook your head.
"Oh?"
You turned to look at your mother and said with a smile, "Mom, even though I’m still young and don’t understand the hardship of raising children, I am clear about one thing... the boundless love of parents."
Your mother was taken aback, showing you a kind and warm smile for the first ti in her life.
"By the way, how will you deal with these five girls?"
"Five... five!?" You were shocked and quickly asked, "Where did these five co from?"
"None? Here, let count them off on my fingers for you." Saying this, your mother extended her thumb, "Zhao’er."
You nodded your head; Zhao’er’s identity needed no further explanation.
Next was the index finger: "Little Yun."
You nodded again; the ties between you and Wu Qiyi were too complicated to summarize in a few words.
Then the middle finger: "Qian-Qian."
Well, it seed your infinitely capable mother had firm control over all your movents.
After the middle finger, you suddenly beca nervous. For so reason, from your mother’s seemingly all-knowing gaze, you felt as if you saw Su Su’s cunning face.
Your mother left the ring finger for—"Su Su."
Clutching your forehead, an intricate expression appeared on your face, genuinely surprised that your mother actually knew of her existence.
But other than Xiao iyu, there was no one else, right?
Who was the other person?
You looked at your mother with a puzzled face, and her smile did not diminish as she raised the thumb of her other hand: "Empress, Wu Laosha."
"Ha!?"
"What, you didn’t realize that girl’s feelings?" your mother said with a teasing smile.
Scratching your head, you didn’t quite know what to say, "I do know a bit, after all I’m not so dense to that extent, but as you know, the Empress has a temper, she’s the type who might destroy a whole city when upset!"
"Bullshit!"
She gave you a sharp look, "Don’t you think I don’t understand a girl’s mind? That girl has lived two lives; even though she turned to hatred out of love in her previous life and acted a bit extrely, the softest part of her heart still belongs to you, do you understand?"
Scratching your head, you said, "Mom, let’s put aside the matter of the Empress for now. I need to figure out how to face Zhao’er right now."
"What do you an how to face her? Didn’t she cook a whole table of dishes for you tonight?"
"I know, but..."
"What do you know?" your mother rolled her eyes again, "Do you realize what this whole al signifies?"
"I..."
You thought about it but then fell silent.
Indeed, you hadn’t even figured out Zhao’er’s true intentions yet. Instead of fretting over it here, you would be better off walking up to her like a man and confess all!
With that thought, you suddenly stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"I’m going to find Zhao’er right now!"
"That silly girl is still preparing, going there now would only fluster her more." Your mother pulled you back to the sofa and patted your shoulders, "These three girls’ affection for you is evident to everyone. Their souls and spirits are inseparable from yours now, and their ties and entanglents with you can no longer be untangled... Right now, what I’m most worried about is poor i Yu!"
