Chapter 726: 726 But I like it enough
“You still oppose my decision to find soone new…”
“No, it’s not about that,” Sun Ling said. “It’s about that scum.”
It took so ti, but Sun Ling detailed everything that had happened to their father recently to their mother.
After listening, Sun Ling’s mother didn’t relax her frown; after a long mont, she scoffed coldly, “That trash never deserved to be a father. Now, he’s gotten himself into this ss; that’s great. Xiaojing, go buy a good bottle of wine. Tonight, I want to drink joyfully and celebrate properly.”
Having never borne a son, Sun Ling’s mother had endured much suffering over the years.
Now, knowing the miserable fate of that scum of a father, she felt a profound sense of relief.
Sun Ling and Jing Yizhou exchanged glances, approximately grasping Sun Ling’s mother’s thoughts. Sun Ling’s greatest fear was that her mother might still harbor kind feelings for that scum, but hearing her words now, she felt completely reassured.
“Mom, since you’ve decided to start anew, let Jing Yizhou and I handle this matter; let’s put it all behind us,” Sun Ling said, holding her mother’s hand.
“Book the tickets to Thailand. I need to personally deliver the news to that scum to truly let go,” Sun Ling’s mother said. “But don’t expect to save him, and don’t even think about bringing a lawyer.”
In life, no one is a saint.
Everyone lives in this world for the first ti, possessing the right to decide whether to hate or not, to forgive or not.
Regarding their father, neither mother nor daughter could understand or forgive him.
Thus, Sun Ling and Shi Lan took leave from work, and together with Jing Yizhou, they accompanied Sun Ling’s mother to Thailand. However, upon reaching the airport, her confidant also caught up. He seed totally unconcerned that this was about Sun Ling’s mother’s ex-husband; he simply wanted to accompany her, taking it as a holiday.
Given all he had done, Sun Ling had no grounds to reject him and confidently entrusted her mother to Lu Shaoyun’s care.
But because the situation involved a murder case, the family wasn’t in the mood for intimacy; upon arriving in Thailand, they imdiately asked Jing Yizhou to arrange a eting with the police to possibly confront the scum.
“I still have so connections here; I’ll have the lawyer maneuver to obtain a eting ti, but we only have fifteen minutes, and only one person can et him. You two decide who it should be,” Jing Yizhou told Sun Ling and her mother after settling into the hotel.
Sun Ling and her mother looked at each other, seemingly having made up their minds instantly.
“That’s my bad karma; of course, I should be the one to end it,” Sun Ling’s mother said.
“Don’t worry, I’m with you,” Lu Shaoyun assured her, holding her hand.
…
In the evening, Thailand’s sunset was like brocade, vivid and dazzling.
After dinner, Jing Yizhou strolled with Sun Ling along the beach. Strangely, despite the life-and-death nature of the situation, Sun Ling didn’t feel as conflicted as she had imagined. This ti, she seed to struggle not at all with the decision to save or not to save, nor was she bound by moral ethics.
Thinking about this, Jing Yizhou smiled slightly.
“What are you laughing at?” Sun Ling asked, puzzled.
“I was thinking about what changed you,” Jing Yizhou said. “It feels like the shackles on you are lessening.”
“I used to be disgusted and pained by our blood relationship, but after seeing so much, I suddenly ca to terms with it. Not all who are related by blood will act like family, but those who show true, heartfelt loyalty definitely will,” she explained.
“Seen so much?” Jing Yizhou was perplexed.
Sun Ling smiled aningfully.
She had witnessed the entire epic battle between Shi Lan and the Shi Family.
“In any case, I will not bear such shackles any longer, nor will I look forward to the future with expectant eyes. After all, I have done nothing wrong. Being born not the gender he wanted was never my responsibility. As for that father, I have done all that duty and benevolence required.”
Upon hearing this, Jing Yizhou kissed Sun Ling’s forehead, “You are not good enough.”
Sun Ling squinted her eyes, “??”
Jing Yizhou imdiately added, “But I like you enough.”
…
The next day, a family of four went to the Thailand police station accompanied by a lawyer. After so discussion, Sun Ling’s mother was taken to the visitation room.
“Mom, we are here for you.”
Sun Ling comforted her mother, who smiled briefly before following the Thailand police and pushing open the door of the visitation room.
Separated by the glass, Sun Ling’s mother saw the haggard figure of Sun Ling’s father, but she barely showed any emotion. She adjusted her skirt and sat down on the chair.
It was Sun Ling’s father, on the other hand, who was very agitated, “Wife, you ca to save , didn’t you?”
With a cold smirk, Sun Ling’s mother coldly stared at Sun Ling’s father, “You once wanted two sons, Sun, your greed knows no bounds, but sadly, you were never destined to have sons.”
Sun Ling’s father glanced at her and then retreated to his position, saying, “You didn’t co to save .”
“I ca to tell you that I am about to remarry,” Sun Ling’s mother lifted her hand to show her ring, “Oh and Xiaoling is here too. I forgot to ntion, I knew from the start about your plan with the Thailand woman to implant twins. Not only that, but your thing hasn’t been working for a long ti, the implantation was never going to be successful, but the doctor never told you.”
“So, your dream of having a son was a trap from the start.”
After hearing this, Sun Ling’s father wiped his face, incredulous, “We were husband and wife, how could you sche against like this?”
“Why shouldn’t I sche against you? So you could be like a vampire, always clinging to Xiaoling and ? Sun, the old bastard, what’s wrong with my Xiaoling that you’ve despised her for so many years? I ca to tell you, this answer was once very important but now, who you are, is aningless to us, mother and daughter.”
“Do you know how homicide is sentenced in Thailand? Life imprisonnt…”
“Sun, if it weren’t for your later bullying and extortion of Xiaoling, I might have considered getting you a third-rate lawyer to haggle over, but now, I would spare no expense to see you get the heaviest sentence possible.”
“Lastly, the weather here is nice, I plan to vacation here for half a month, but I am not going to save you.”
After saying that, Sun Ling’s mother straightened her clothes and then rose from her seat.
At that mont, Sun Ling’s father lunged forward like a madman, “Co back, you co back! Save , let Xiaoling save , I don’t want a son anymore, I just recognize her as my daughter, wife, co back…”
“I’m truly remorseful, I only want a daughter now, Xiaoling… I am Dad, Xiaoling.”
“I truly realize my mistake now, I shouldn’t have dreamt of a son, don’t abandon , mother and daughter, I don’t want to go to jail.”
At that mont, Sun Ling’s mother turned around and said, “Xiaoling does indeed want to save you and is trying her best to do so, but I won’t allow it, it remains to be seen if she can be successful.”
“Is that really true?” Sun Ling’s father was incredulous.
“Of course, why would I lie to you at this point?”
“Let her save… let her save…”
Sun Ling’s mother smiled briefly, then stepped away.
What is the greatest revenge on a person? That is to give them hope, and then let them wait endlessly with that hope, sinking deeper into their plight, until they fall into despair and realize that what they have been waiting for will never co.
