Su Cen said, “How can I, Little Che…” She gently caressed her cheek. “I’m already very happy that I can still see you. I’m also very happy that I have such a good daughter like you but I have never fulfilled my duties as a mother. I couldn’t take care of you…”
Lin Che shook her head. “You were hypnotized, Mom. I don’t blame you.”
“But I was right there and I didn’t take care of you. Little Che, I have really let you down.”
“There is no letting down… between mother and daughter,” Lin Che said. “I only wish that you can live well.”
Su Cen sighed and touched her face tenderly. “You’re already all grown up in a flash. You have your own child now, Little Che. I’m so happy that you grew up well. You grew up into a fine lady without me. In the future, you must continue living well. I will be there and you can always come to visit me. I can also come and visit you, but… I’ve already decided to go to M Nation.”
Lin Che was stunned. “Mom, you’re going to M Nation? Why?”
That Han Chengen brainwashed her for so long. Was she really still going back?
Su Cen said, “Chengen took care of me all those years. I owe it to him.”
“But…”
“I still have you, but he does not have children. He’s alone and because of me… he is already isolated. He has no relatives nor friends. How can I leave him to be on his own? Furthermore… Little Che, it has been years. I’ve loved and I’ve lost. I’ve also seen a lot of things. I was obsessed and deeply in love, so I gave everything I had. It ultimately led me to despair. Now, I take all these with a pinch of salt. Whatever will be. Thus, I have no other wishes. My only wish is for you to live well and for me to live the rest of my life peacefully with no struggles and hatred…”
No struggles and hatred…
It sounded very peaceful, but also tragically cold.
However, this was perhaps already the best for Su Cen.
Lin Che hugged Su Cen. “Mom…”
“My dear, you’ve grown up…” Su Cen hugged her back tightly.
Su Cen left. In the distance was Han Chengen’s car.
She closed her eyes. Then, a smile appeared on her face.
“Chengen, come here. You don’t have to keep following me.”
Han Chengen stepped out of the car. It had been a while and he looked like he lost weight. His stubble was growing out and he no longer looked like a wealthy man.
He looked at Su Cen like a lost child looking at his only hope.
Su Cen smiled and looked at him. “I’ve thought about many things.”
Han Chengen nodded. He knew that she went to many places and looked at many things. He did not dare to approach her, but he was also worried about her. Thus, he could only follow her from a distance.
Su Cen said, “I know that everything you’ve done is all for my sake, but I still can’t forgive you for hypnotizing me and separating me from my daughter for so many years.”
Han Chengen looked hurt. He covered his face. “At that time, I only had one thought in my mind. I also thought about the possibility of losing you if I fail, but I have no regrets. At least you did not live in pain during those years. Tell me, Su Cen. What have you decided? What do you want me to do? I’ll gladly oblige.”
Su Cen shooked her head and looked at him. She smiled. “I’m going back to M Nation with you.”
“What?” Han Chengen looked at her in surprise.
Su Cen said, “Chengen, I’ll continue being the cause of your frustrations for the rest of your life. That’s probably the only way I can punish you.”
Han Chengen was so moved that his eyes grew wide. This was a punishment, but he was more than willing to take this punishment for life. As long as he could be with her, even if he could only look at her and blame himself for the rest of his life, he was more than willing to pay the price.
Su Cen said, “I’ve thought about so many things… The people I met in the past, the things I did in the past, the things I went through… The only one who truly loves me… is you…”
Love was such a surreal thing. She fell in love with a man who never loved her properly. She didn’t know it at that time, but looking back now, she now realized that true love was not about the fiery pa.s.sion. It was about finding a partner with whom to enjoy a long time together peacefully.
She did not love Han Chengen. However, she knew that he was indeed the only one who loved her.
Thus, she ultimately made this decision. It was also the only way she could punish him…
Upstairs, Lin Che stood by the winder and watched as Han Chengen carefully helped Su Cen get in the car. Then, the car slowly drove down the street.
She felt a million emotions in her heart. It felt as if she had seen one of life’s greatest mysteries.
Just then, Gu Jingze slowly came from behind. He said, “Lin Che, I won’t allow you to be sad.”
Lin Che said, “I’m not. I’m not sad. My mother had been dead to me for a long time. Now that I know she is very much alive, I’m already very thankful. It’s just a pity that Mom ultimately decided to leave with Han Chengen. Do you think Mom has fallen in love with Han Chengen?”
“No,” Gu Jingze replied. “She only chose the path that was best for her. She had gained enlightenment and love is not that important to her anymore.”
“Really… Then I think Mom is so pitiful…”
Gu Jingze looked at her, smiled, and kissed her cheek. “Most people are bound to have many regrets in their lives.”
Lin Che looked outside. Mom probably still loved Lu Qinyu the most. In the end, she still wanted Lu Qinyu to know and then leave behind everything here. However, Lu Qinyu never really loved her. Thus in love, the one who loved the deepest was the one who would get hurt the most.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and was also very emotional. She was indeed very lucky, unlike many people who would never meet such a good man.
Lin Che said, “Oh well. I don’t want to think about the older generation’s affairs anymore. We still have a rogue child to look for.”
Gu Jingze said, “I’ve already sent my men to confirm it. He is at Black Eagle’s place. You can relax.”
“That’s strange. Why did he choose to go there? What do we do now?”
“Black Eagle’s place is on tight lockdown. I’ll go ask Black Eagle what’s going on but at least we know no harm will come to him there. You can rest a.s.sured. Didn’t you want to know what this child has been up to? We can take this chance to find out.”
Lin Che said, “Oh, that’s right. I wonder why he suddenly ran away from home. Does it have to do with his bad mood previously?”
