"I…I must make that woman lose her foothold in the jewelry industry and make sure she never has the chance to show her face at any cocktail party again!”I followed Du Poisonous Shadow into the room and heard the woman, who had calmed down a little, become excited again.
" My mother wanted everything to be perfect, so…" Du Poisonous Shadow whispered to me, his eyes filled with…guilt? This was also an emotion that I only found out many years later. It turned out that Du Poisonous Shadow already knew my identity back then.
Indeed, I'm not the young master of the Du family. I was merely a study companion, playmate, or perhaps a servant adopted by the Du family under Du Poisonous Shadow's insistence.
Before I revealed the answer to my identity, other than Du Poisonous Shadow, none of the surviving Du Family members knew about it. Was this their sorrow?
My mother was my father's first love, but I don't know what kind of accident happened, but my father married another woman, but he still couldn't forget my mother. The second year after his father got married, that woman got pregnant. Five years later, my mother was pregnant with me.
In order to cut off this endless pain and give me a legitimate identity, my mother married my adoptive father after she found out that she was pregnant. My adoptive father was very good to my mother and didn't even mind that my background was unknown.
However, in the end, her mother still succumbed to her father's tenderness and her own love. She reconciled with her father and secretly slept with him. I think my adoptive father knew all along. It's just that he loved my mother too much, so he chose to endure it.
Divorce? No! My father's wife, who would never allow any imperfection, firmly opposed it. She would never allow her perfect life to be flawed because of my father.
"Mom, it's very late. Why are you still putting on makeup? Where are you going?" Everything happened not long after his father and the woman had another argument.
It was late at night, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tried. My round eyes rolled around. One moment, I looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and the next moment, I looked at my mother who was sitting in front of the mirror putting on makeup. It was almost midnight. His mother had never left home so late before.
"Zhenbang." The hand holding the lipstick froze in mid-air. Mother slowly turned her head to look at me.
"Mom, where are you going?" Was Daddy going to be sent to the hospital again?”I stood up and anxiously wanted to go to the next room to see my adoptive father who had been sick for a long time.
Ever since my adoptive father fell ill, my mother, who occasionally attended banquets, was afraid that she would wake him up when she came back, so she came over to sleep in the same room as me.
Holding my hand, my mother's eyes were filled with tears."No, don't disturb Daddy. Let Daddy sleep.”
"Then where are you going?" I was puzzled. Mother was acting very strange tonight.
" Mommy…Mommy is going…going…going to attend a very important…banquet…" Holding back her tears, her mother said each word with difficulty.
I held her hand and leaned my head on her arm. I said coquettishly,"Mom has been working so hard. Ever since Dad fell ill, you've been the only one earning money to support the family. Don't worry, I'll be very obedient. I'll definitely study hard. When I grow up, I can design a lot of beautiful jewelry like Mom and earn a lot of money to be filial to you and Dad.”
Hearing my words, the tears in my mother's eyes could no longer hold back. Suddenly, I was hugged tightly. Mother's face, which had just been put on makeup, was stained with tears.
" Zhenbang, Mommy's good child…Mommy has let you down…You must forgive Mommy…Mommy loves you very much. Mommy really loves you very much…"
"Mom, I love you too." Pouting, I kissed her on the cheek.
I often see my mother cry. When my adoptive father is seriously ill, my mother will cry. But when my adoptive father's illness is not serious, my mother will also cry secretly by herself.
My adoptive father told me that because my mother was very tired and stressed from work, sometimes crying was a way to vent her emotions. He also said that when his mother cried, he must comfort her well. Only then would his mother be happy.
Actually, I understand, even if everyone is hiding it from me. I knew that my mother was crying because of my biological father. I didn't know if I should sing a song for the great love between my mother and my biological father, or feel unworthy for my tolerant adoptive father. It wasn't until many years later that I realized that my wife Han Yifang's attitude toward love was exactly the same as my adoptive father's.
How could I not transfer the pity and undeserved feelings I felt for my adoptive father when I was young to Yifang? It was until later that I could no longer hold her back...
" Zhenbang, I'm sorry..." Mother buried her head in my shoulder. Her painful tears stained my pajamas. " Mommy…Mommy is leaving…" She choked on her sobs and could not speak. That night, her mother cried until her entire body trembled.
"Mom, be careful when you go out. There are many bad people now.”Even though I was almost out of breath from being hugged by my mother, I didn't dare to protest.
"Mom, you…don't worry, I'll take care of Dad. If Dad coughs, I'll quickly get him some water.”
" Zhenbang, my good son, Mommy…Mommy has let you and Daddy down…" Zhenbang, forgive Mommy's cowardice. Mommy's shoulders really couldn't take it anymore.
While she was crying her heart out, her mother's phone rang, but she did not notice it.
" Mom, your phone…" I reminded her in the end.
She straightened up and picked up the phone. Her mother sobbed and said a few words before turning off the phone.
" Zhenbang..." Before I left, my mother hugged me again. At this moment, I heard coughing from next door.
"Daddy coughed. I'll go get some water for Daddy.”
" Zhiqun... I... I'm sorry..." Standing by the door, his mother lowered her head and cried.
"Dad, Mom is going to attend a very important banquet. Don't worry, I'll take care of you before Mom comes back.”I sat by the bed and fed my adoptive father water.
My adoptive father's hand, hidden under the quilt, was tightly holding a kraft paper bag. At that time, I was very puzzled as to why my adoptive father would put such a hard thing on the bed.
It wasn't until my adoptive father passed away that I realized that the kraft paper bag actually contained the message that my mother was leaving. It contained all the savings that she had left for me and my adoptive father. It contained the message that our marriage had ended and that our family was broken.# Cancel review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185:54PM
