2815 Torn
Unrelated person… In her son’s eyes, she was an unrelated person.
Madam Xiao, who was crying profusely, couldn’t hold it in anymore. She covered her face with her hands and cried. “Ah Yuan, I was really wrong… Look, I don’t even dare to think of myself as your mom now. I know my mistake. I was really wrong.
“My mistake was not taking good care of you when you were young. My mistake was leaving you alone at the airport. My mistake was treating you coldly when you came to look for me more than ten years ago… Ah Yuan, I was wrong. I was really wrong.”
Outside, Madam Li heard her cries. She, who was sitting and drinking tea, used her teacup to hide the faint smile in her eyes. ‘Shuman, oh Shuman, the father and son have hurt you so much. Why are you still trying to get close to them?
‘The things you’ve lost have already been lost. You can’t get them back just because you want to.
‘Go ahead and cry. Your cries now are what it means to be heartbroken, not like in the past when you cried out of sorrow. Back then, you wanted to break free from the so-called restraints. Now, you want to come back.”
“Ah Yuan, your mother’s health isn’t good. Although you don’t acknowledge her, please don’t anger her. If something happens to your mother, I won’t forgive you.”
Madam Li wanted to go in, but she was stopped. She slammed her teacup on the coffee table and said coldly, “Don’t bully your mother. You need to correct your att.i.tude!”
Xia Jinyuan didn’t reply to her. He didn’t coax Madam Xiao either. He calmly took out a tissue and pa.s.sed it to Madam Xiao. He said coldly, “Wipe your tears. If you go out with red eyes later, your good friend will really rush over and find trouble with me.”
Just as he reached out his hand to pa.s.s the tissue, Madam Xiao moved so quickly that she grabbed his hand. Instantly, Xia Jinyuan’s facial expression turned cold. He shook her hand off rudely as if he had encountered something disgusting. He couldn’t tolerate it at all.
“You’re too impulsive. I don’t like your actions.”
His gaze was cold as he looked at her. He no longer had the pleasantries from before.
Madam Xiao was shocked by the disgust in his eyes. Her son… hated her so much that she felt that her touch was dirty.
“Why… Why did this happen…”
She asked the question very softly. Her voice was broken.
Xia Jinyuan pressed his thin lips together and wiped his wrist with a tissue. He shook his head and looked at her coldly. “I’m giving you face, but you insist on tearing this relations.h.i.+p apart.
“If you want to know the reason, I can tell you. You have to bear with it. Don’t faint in the Xia family’s residence.
“When you had yet to divorce my father, you used me as a cover to go to the hotel to be with your lover.” Xia Jinyuan started the conversation and saw Madam Xiao’s face turn pale.
Xia Jinyuan didn’t plan to end this easily, and there was a hint of cruelty in his cold voice. “I was awake, but you still rolled around with your lover until your blanket fell to the ground. That was the first time.
“The second time, I was in the closet, and you and your lover rolled on the bed that my dad only occasionally went home to sleep on…
“The third time…”
“No… Don’t… Don’t say anymore. Don’t say anymore…” Madam Xiao, whose entire body was trembling, stopped him from continuing. She was in a panic, her entire heart falling toward the endless abyss… She didn’t dare to listen anymore.
