Chapter 794: Chapter 793: Stop deceiving yourself!
Liang Wei’s expression was lancholic and distressed as she trudged towards the factory.
She had anticipated such a day would co, ever since Shao Xingbang had made things clear to her.
But she hadn’t expected it to co so swiftly.
The words spoken by the Shao sisters, though harsh, were all true.
Over the years, without Lu Zheng’s assistance, life for her and her son would have been even more difficult.
She could completely understand their feelings!
Who would want their well-off brother to end up with a woman like her?
Any normal person would definitely oppose it strongly.
Not having any contact with Shao Xingbang in the future was sothing she didn’t mind, but what worried her most was her son’s feelings and whether he could accept it so easily.
Her son had grown up without a father, never receiving even a fraction of paternal love. Shao Xingbang’s appearance had perfectly filled his every longing and expectation for a father.
But now, her son had no choice but to accept the reality.
She could no longer allow others to criticize her or let her son suffer even greater hurt one day in the future.
Liang Wei even thought about taking her son and returning to her hotown.
But then, she thought, even if they moved to a new school, wouldn’t her child still have to go through the sa things as before?
So, she couldn’t do that.
Lin Xia knew that Liang Wei was attending a parent-teacher eting for her child, so she especially stayed in the factory workshop to oversee the production.
When she saw Liang Wei enter the workshop from outside, looking wan and pale, she hurried over and asked with concern, “Sister Liang! Are you alright?”
Liang Wei lied, “I’m fine! My stomach just suddenly hurts a bit! I guess it’s almost ‘that ti of the month’!”
“Oh! You should go back and drink so hot water soon! How did Wenfeng’s parent-teacher eting go? The teacher praised Wenfeng, right?” Lin Xia knew that Cheng Wenfeng had made great progress in his studies, and before Liang Wei left, Cheng Wenfeng was confident that he would be praised this ti.
Liang Wei forced so energy and smiled at Lin Xia, “He was praised! They complinted him for studying diligently and hardworking!”
“That’s wonderful!” Lin Xia was genuinely happy for them.
Liang Wei didn’t want to talk more, afraid that Lin Xia might notice sothing odd, “Lin Xia! I’d like to go back and rest a bit!”
“Okay! Then go ahead! I’m here in the workshop!” Lin Xia could see that she really wasn’t feeling well, so she didn’t insist on continuing the conversation.
Cheng Wenfeng was watching television in his room, glancing at the ti now and then. He wondered what his mother’s reaction would be to the parent-teacher eting. His studies had improved quite a bit, so he should receive praise from his teacher, right?
When his mother entered the door, he imdiately noticed that her face seed off.
He quickly approached her with worry and asked, “Mom! What’s wrong? Did our teacher criticize ?”
“No! Your teacher praised you, said a lot of nice things about you! I just have a bit of stomachache. I’ll be fine after lying down for a while!” Liang Wei didn’t want her son to worry and lied again with a smile.
Cheng Wenfeng was half-doubtful, “Mom! You should lie down quickly, and I’ll get you so hot water!”
He helped Liang Wei to the bed to lie down and thoughtfully pulled the covers over her.
Watching her son bustle about, Liang Wei’s heart ached. She knew without asking that this life was what he enjoyed…
The next morning, Shao Xingbang, having taken care of his work, hurried to Lin Xia’s factory.
Liang Wei spoke politely to him and didn’t ignore him, but he distinctly felt that sothing was different.
Liang Wei looked into his eyes and found none of the tender smiles that used to be there, only a polite and distant smile that did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
He asked directly, “Did my family co looking for you?”
Liang Wei calmly said, “No!”
Xingbang did not believe her, “If they hadn’t, you wouldn’t treat like this! Liang Wei, no matter what they say, it can’t change my decision.
You don’t need to listen to what they say, as long as we…”
Liang Wei interrupted him with a bitter smile, “Uncle! Let’s not deceive ourselves any longer! You and I both understand that the gap between us is as vast as the distance between heaven and earth; we’re simply not suited for one another.
Even if you persisted for a few more years, I would never agree to be with you in the end! The only reason I agreed to start off as friends was purely out of selfishness for my son!
I’ve worked so hard to raise him, and now, because of you, he’s giving the cold shoulder and ignoring , which really breaks my heart.
Wenfeng has never t his father since he was little, and you touched his heart by being so kind to him.
But I must separate my gratitude for your kindness to him from actually agreeing to be with you!
Uncle! I’m begging you, please stop wasting your ti on , okay?
I’m a particularly selfish and boring person, truly not as good as you imagine… You’ll definitely et soone who’s right for you in the future!”
Xingbang was in agony, knowing that this day would co.
“Liang Wei! I can understand what you’re saying, but I can’t promise to give up. I will handle things with my family!”
“Uncle… Why can’t you understand…” Liang Wei wasn’t saying these things because she wanted him to confront his family.
Xingbang, ignoring her protests and fueled by anger, quickly turned and walked away. Liang Wei could only sigh deeply, hoping things wouldn’t get worse…
Xingbang drove away in a fury, his car speeding down the road.
When he arrived at irou’s place, only his father Chengzhi was at ho.
Seeing his youngest son’s sullen face, Chengzhi guessed that sothing must have happened.
“What brings you back at this hour, son? What happened?”
Xingbang, with a grim face, asked, “Dad! Are you alone here? Where are my sister and her husband?”
“Your sister and brother-in-law took advantage of the sunny and warm weather to take Jingjing and Keke for a walk. The housekeeper went out to buy groceries and hasn’t returned!”
“Then let talk to you alone first!”
Chengzhi pointed to the sofa across him, “Have a seat! What do you want to talk about?”
Xingbang cut to the chase, “Dad! Before I pursued Liang Wei, didn’t I ask for your opinion? What did you say back then? You said the family was neither supportive nor opposed!”
Chengzhi’s expression grew more somber, “I did say that! But, Xingbang, you should also understand that I do not approve of you two.
Dad is a layman; the daughter-in-law I expect is definitely not a woman of her background!
Of course! I’m not saying she’s bad, just that she’s not suitable for you!
How can you, an unmarried man… find soone with a child? Besides, she’s not just anyone; she’s the widow of Xiaozheng’s deceased friend, won’t this ss up the family relationships?”
Chengzhi didn’t think his views were old-fashioned; which parent wouldn’t want their child to find an outstanding partner and live a good life?
If his youngest son really ended up with Liang Wei, he would probably find it hard to face others in public.
Everyone knew that his son Chengzhi was notoriously picky when it ca to finding a partner; if, after all this, he chose a widow with a child, wouldn’t he beco the talk of the town?
