My brother settled abroad
”A fool, of course, for the rest of his life.” he said without hesitation.
She smiled and hugged him tighter. ”Alright, for life.”
She thought, just because he was treating her well, she didn't want him to, and she didn't want him to die like this.
What's more …
She also remembered that she really did have a child by her side, a sweet boy with big eyes who would call her ”Mama.”
She felt that she should find him.
In his arms, she wondered if she should tell him her thoughts. But when she looked up and saw the weariness in his face, she swallowed again.
Should he wait for him to finish his work? she thought.
She slowly remembered that her mother had passed away, and her father and sister had not contacted her for a long time. Also, a pair of siblings were her good friends, Shangguan Zhe and Shangguan Rou, and lastly, her own son, Le Le.
She felt that it was fine to forget them before, but now that she remembered them, she had to find them.
Just as she was thinking, Si Lianye tightened her hold on her: ”What are you thinking about?”
She raised her eyes and smiled. ”No, I'm not thinking about anything.”
He looked at her with deep eyes, but didn't say anything. He touched her hair and didn't speak again.
After a while, the phone beside him rang.
His expression hardened as he let go of her and said, ”I'm going to get a call.”
She listened to the unusual ringing of his bell, then looked at his complicated expression. She didn't say anything and just nodded slightly.
Si Lianye took his phone and walked along the corridor. Just as she placed it by her ear, a voice came over: ”I seem to have heard a news, you are engaged? Is that true? ”
His voice was filled with rage, as if he was trying to denounce someone for his crimes. His expression didn't change as he calmly replied, ”Yes.”
”Very good, looks like you completely do not place me in your eyes? I'm your mother, and you didn't tell me about your engagement? Do you not recognize me as your mother at all? ” Imperial Mother asked.
He was still very calm as he said, ”You're thinking too much. It's just that I've been rather busy recently, so I didn't tell you.”
”Is that so? ”So if I don't ask, when are you going to tell me?”
He was silent.
”I understand that you either don't want to tell me at all, or you just wait until the engagement party, don't you?” She said she was slowly calming down from her anger.
He said, ”You are my mother. How could I do that?”
”Don't do this with me. I'm just asking you, do you like her that much? I love her to the point that I have to marry her even though I'm a mother? Even if she doesn't have any children in her lifetime? ”
Facing her overbearing attitude, he calmly said, ”You think too much. She is in good health.”
She sneered: ”Is she in good health? You weren't fooled by those doctors, were you? I've already investigated, and she can't have children at all. Do you really think so? Have you ever wondered if you were right about me? I'm sorry for your father? ”
His face was as gloomy as the dark night: ”Marriage is not for the sake of having children, I don't mind adopting one in the future.”
”Adoption?” Imperial Mother raised her voice: ”You really think so? Do you really hate us so much that you would rather have the Si Family cut off her descendants? Si Lianye, if I had known what you were thinking back then, I would not have let that woman live! ”
Si Lianye squinted her eyes dangerously, and said solemnly: ”Mother, I want to tell you something.”
”What is it?”
”She is my everything, so don't think about doing anything to her. Otherwise, don't ever think about meeting me again in this life.” he said, his voice firm.
Imperial Mother was so angry that she could only say one thing: ”Good, very good, my son has grown up indeed. She paused for a moment before continuing, ”No matter what you say, you are my son, Si Family's successor, so I won't let you do whatever you want. So, you better watch over her, otherwise, if anything happens to her, I won't be held responsible!”
”You!” His face changed and he let out an angry shout, only to find that she had already hung up.
The cold air around him immediately caused the surrounding temperature to drop by a few degrees, causing the surrounding servants to take a detour whenever they saw him, while Shen Xiran, who was watching him from inside, looked at him quietly with a gaze filled with worry.
When he finally came back, he had already adjusted his face, but when he turned around, he found a few more people to be her bodyguards. As long as she went out, no matter where she went, there would always be someone following behind her.
She knew it had something to do with the phone call he'd taken, but no matter what she asked, he wouldn't tell her.
She had no choice but to put this question to the back of her mind. After all, she still had a lot of things to do.
First of all, she had to rely on the memories she had found and start trying to contact other people.
The first person who contacted him was Shangguan Rou, the girl who kept calling him in her memories.
When the call was picked up, she felt her heart thumping, and she asked tentatively, ”Hello? is it Xiao Rou? ”
The sound of breathing suddenly increased, but there was still no sound.
She was stunned, then realised, Xiao Rou's weakness was that she could not speak.
