Beep beep beep...
The busy tone of the disconnected phone had been ringing for a long ti before Lian En dejectedly hung up the receiver.
"Yes, you guessed it right, it’s Yanzi’s Yan. Full na Lian Yan, nickna Little Yanzi!"
"Pff, still calling him Little Yanzi. Thank goodness for my wits, otherwise calling a grown man Little Yanzi is even more pitiable than our third brother’s Lian Xi."
"I’m telling you, big brother, even though our little brother looks silly, he unexpectedly earns mom’s affection! Once, I even saw mom kiss him, calling him the best good son, and saying in this life she must spoil him well so he won’t suffer or be wronged. Isn’t that strange? So small, what kind of grievances could he possibly face!"
...
Every word and sentence, Xinqing’s voice kept echoing in his ears.
Involuntarily, childhood mories vivid to the point of seeming like past life dreams kept surfacing in Lian En’s mind.
Recalling that in the dream, Lian Mingsi left his biological mother and stepfather, decisively following an unprincipled couple to Beijing for a better life.
Could it be that mom also had a similar dream?
Because it was so bleak and real, she directly considered it as a past life, a warning from heaven.
So upon waking up, mom decisively let go.
She completely forgot the scoundrel father, turning to join hands with dad to create the happy and beautiful life they have now.
Harboring resentnt towards the scoundrel, she also feared that a rotten bamboo yields no good shoots and that he would grow into a white-eyed wolf like in the dream. So mom decisively opted for an abortion, not considering for a mont to keep him.
It was also because her health was unusual, with high risks in abortion, and she t dad, a kind, responsible, and committed man.
Otherwise, he might not even have had a chance to be born at all.
Although it’s absurd, Lian En was surprised to find that following this line of thought, all previous unexplainable matters suddenly made perfect sense.
For example, how mom, who was devastated for that scoundrel, suddenly saw the light and got the marriage certificate with dad shortly after the divorce.
Why mom seed almost prescient, enabling their family to stay well-fed and warm during those turbulent years, living a prosperous life.
Not only did she and dad both beco Worker Peasant Soldier University students, turning into seed research experts overnight.
They even spurred economic and cultural developnt in the Liu family village production team and ford close friendships with tycoons like Grandpa Wu and Grandpa Wei.
All these seemingly foresighted acts should be credited to that prolonged dream.
And her unusually strict filial education could be to prevent him from growing into a white-eyed wolf like Lian Mingsi in the dream.
Additionally, she insisted on having more children at any cost, early on determining the child she was carrying was a son.
The sa birthday, the sa ti.
Even the na almost ended up identical, and mom’s attitude was particularly treasured...
Piece by piece, the answer seems obvious.
Although it sounds utterly absurd, for so reason, Lian En was particularly convinced that his speculation was the truth.
With this realization, a surge of imnse gratitude welled up in Lian En’s heart.
Grateful for dad’s life-changing persuasion, and even more thankful that mom was willing to heed it.
After all, if he were in mom’s position, he would never have compromised, even at the cost of double casualties.
Rather than risking raising a white-eyed wolf and being entangled with that family, he would decisively choose to sever ties, ensuring the scoundrel has no descendants.
That feeling of once having a loving wife and a cute son, but not treasuring them, instead becoming a self-centered fool driven by greed, only to cry with regret after losing them and having their child gone for over a decade, while the wife has moved on to have a happy family with soone else...
The re thought is heart-wrenching, leaving the scoundrel with no chance of redemption, no matter how regretful he feels!
Lian En had no idea he almost hit the nail on the head with his guess, not realizing the truth was even stranger than the dream of Zhuang Zhou becoming a butterfly — it was a literal rebirth.
He never imagined that his so-called dream was indeed his past life.
Suddenly understanding everything, he urgently wanted to return ho and earnestly thank his mom.
Thanking her for not giving up on him entirely, for still choosing to give birth to him, and for raising him with care.
Instead of reluctantly giving birth due to her health condition and abandoning him once he was born, directly packing him off to the Dai family or an orphanage.
Feng Ju felt incredibly fortunate to have co out for a drink of water and caught him just in ti. Otherwise, let alone arranging the schedule until school starts to delay the disciple’s trip ho.
He would definitely be worried about how to cover it up properly so that the willful disciple, who wanted to leave with his luggage without even taking the final exam, would pass smoothly.
"You kid, sigh, what are you getting up to now? Your mom has successfully given birth to your little brother. They’re both safe and sound, and she’ll be discharged tomorrow!" Feng Ju frowned, snatching away the luggage he had already packed: "It’s just three or four days until the final exams, what’s so urgent that you must rush ho at this mont?"
"I..." Lian En was at a loss for words, stubbornly looking at Feng Ju but refusing to explain more.
Not that he was wary of the master, but because if he said it, the master would undoubtedly scold him with his strong materialist views!
Because of love, there is trust?
Haha, definitely not!
Feng Ju didn’t think much of it, assuming the kid couldn’t stop calling ho eight tis a day.
Being stirred by the stories of how cute and well-behaved the little brother is and how hard and tireless mom is.
After all, in the disciple’s heart, filial piety to parents cos first, and loving his siblings cos second.
Academics and the like are entirely for making his parents proud and proud.
Being top of the class or internationally renowned is less important to Lian En than having a al with his parents or supervising his siblings’ study for a while.
Feng Ju had no choice but to emphasize how much Lianshan and Shuzhen valued his studies, saying they wouldn’t be happy with Lian En skipping the final exams to rush ho.
After much persuasion, he barely convinced the eager disciple.
anwhile, Shuzhen, unaware of all this, was directing Lianshan to sort out belongings.
Planning to pack up what’s unnecessary now, so tomorrow morning, they can do a quick tidy-up and head straight ho.
No matter how comfortable the single room, decorated like ho, the premium ward is, it’s still uncomfortable.
A whole week of this, Shuzhen’s patience had long been stretched to its limit, hadn’t it?
Finally allowed to be discharged and go ho, she was truly feeling all kinds of liberated.
