The next day, it was the weekend.
Because of Lian Annaâs stimulation from last night, Du Lei Si didnât sleep well all night, suffering from sleep deprivation, she until fall asleep until the wee hours in the morning. When she woke up the next morning, it was already nine oâclock.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she habitually looked to the left and discovered that the President was already gone.
He must be in the study, busy working on documents. Du Lei Si thought of this and quickly got up to wash her face and brush her teeth before making her way downstairs.
Downstairs, there was already breakfast on the table, and Aunty Wu waiting.
âGood morning, Young Madame,â Aunty Wu said, smiling and greeting her.
âGood morning,â Du Lei Si nodded, and suddenly felt a slight headache, it was probably due to not sleeping well last night.
âYoung Master left breakfast for you, you should eat it while its hot.â Aunty Wu said, placing a hot bowl of red bean porridge in front of her.
While sipping the porridge, Du Lei Si suddenly thought of Lian Junâs illness and asked: âAunty Wu, did your Young Master eat breakfast today?â
Aunty Wu nodded: âHe has eaten, but only very little.â
He only eaten very little? It seems his health is still very weak, Du Lei Siâs heart could not help but ache, she wanted to go to see him, she simply said: âThen do you know⦠where he is at the moment?â
âYoung Master is currently in the study with Madame.â
The President was in the study with his mother? Du Lei Siâs heart was slightly surprised, after all, yesterday Lian Jun didnât get along with his mother that well, they seems to have an invisible barrier. However the President was unwilling to tell her exactly what happened, so her head was still in a fog.
Du Lei Si was in a dilemma for a moment, her eyes suddenly swept to Aunty Wuâs side.
Thatâs right, why did she need to ask the President, she can just ask Aunty Wu!
So she mysteriously beckoned towards Aunty Wu, and asked in a low voice: âAunty Wu, I want to ask you something ah.â
Aunty Wu originally had a temper to gossip, thus seeing Du Lei Siâs sudden mysterious appearance, she also discarded their relationship between master and servant, quickly made her way over: âYoung Madame, what did you want to ask ah?â
âYour Young Master and Madame⦠their relationship is not very good, right?â
âYoung Master and Madame?â Aunty Wu thought and helplessly shook her head, âYoung Madame, regarding this problem you have to ask old Yu, when I arrived in this family, Madame have already move abroad.â
âOld Yu ah?â Du Lei Si thought old Yuâs non-gossip type of face, she shook her head, âI think old Yu is such an honest and righteous person, he will not say anything.â
Aunty Wu was embarrassed: âYoung Madame, do I not appear honest and righteous?â
ââ¦No, what I meant is that you appear like the type thatâs doesnât stick to trifles matters!â
âReally?â Being praised, Aunty Wu couldnât help but be complacent and spoke her words without restrain: âYoung Madame, if you really want to know whatâs going on between Young Master and Madame, why donât you sneak upstairs and listen to their conversation?â
Du Lei Si was influenced and embarrassed by Aunty Wuâs gossip spirit: âIs this possible?â
âWhy canât you? This is your home, Young Master is your husband, Madame is your mother-in-law. Since itâs yours, whatâs wrong with occasionally listen to your husband and mother-in-lawâs conversation??â Du Lei Si listened to Aunty Wuâs theories of âyoursâ, she froze for a long time before she felt that there is indeed some truth to it.
âBut,â She also had some hesitation, âwhat should I do if they suddenly come out?â
Aunty Wu thought for a moment and said, âIf they do come out, you can pretend youâve lost your sense of direction.â
âWhat if my mother-in-law is displeased?â
âIf Madame is displeased, then you should flatter her! Say she is beautiful and classy!â
ââ¦â Du Lei Si still had her worries, âWhat ifâ¦â¦â
âYoung Madame, donât be so timid, if the worst comes to the worst Iâll accompany you!â Aunty Wu patted her chest unexpectedly she emitted the momentum of a superwoman.
âReally?â Du Lei Si was enlighten and suddenly felt she had a backer.
So, at the instigation of Aunty Wu, Du Lei Si has finally taken that wicked step. One old and one young, two like thief figures come their way upstairs and surreptitiously touched the library door.
At this time, Lian Jun was in the middle of negotiating with Lian Anna.
âYou have grown up, itâs inconvenient for me to intervene your marriage, however I still have to advise youââ I think that woman is not suitable for Lian family.â
âWhether or not sheâs suitable for Lian family I donât know, I just know that she is suitable for me.â
âYou clearly understand you represent the entire Lian family, one day you will grow tired of an ordinary woman like her, or she would get tired of you, such a marriage would not even be equal!â Lian Annaâs tone was somewhat heavy, seem like a painful topic was hidden.
âDonât put your own emotional outlook on me.â
Lian Anna was stunned, she didnât think that her own son would say such words, her eyes suddenly darken: âYouâll regret it.â she said.
âI never do something Iâll come to regret.â
Lian Anna gave a wry smile: âYour words and the words I said to your grandfather that year is exactly the sameâ¦â¦â As she said this she seemed to be lost in thought, her eyes began to go slightly red.
It was a very cold winter that year.
Lian Anna will never forget when she knelt in front of her fatherâs car, adjure him to agreed with her being together with Xiao Li Shi. The cold wind blowing in her face was bone chilling cold. In that wind, she knelt in front of the car for three whole hours until the wind made her feel unconscious, she still did not shed a drop of tear.
Later, her father was unable to dissuade his daughter and gave into her persistent, thus he agreed to their marriage, but only on one condition, Xiao Li Shi must marry into and live with the Lianâs family.
She also will never forget the day when Xiao Li Shi heard her father decision, his eyes shining showed the slightest hint of hesitation. She was young and frivolous thus she didnât care, since childhood she always felt a sense of superiority, as long as she had a virtue of love, she can catch any manâs heart, with this thought just three years later, their marriage came to an end.
Lian Anna is a smart woman, as the time they spent together lengthen, she became more and more aware of hidden bitterness behind Xiao Li Shiâs smile. She admits he still loves this man, so she didnât want to see him live so weary.
Instead of waiting for the other person to let go, why doesnât she let go first instead? At least she can still maintain her dignity as a woman of the Lian family, thus she suggested the divorce.
Lian Anna didnât think, even when she begged her father to agree to their marriage she didnât shed a tears, yet after the signing of the divorce agreement and watching him leave, tears of regret fell.
It turns out falling in love with this man was a mistake, marrying him is also a mistake. That full of emotional trauma experiences told her that unequal marriage doesnât run the distance, she have suffered heart aches so she doesnât want to let her son also repeat such mistakes.
Lian Anna thought to this point and sigh before saying: âI know that since young you have resent me for leaving you alone and going abroad.â Her voice was very light, as if she lost the momentum from before, she was no longer the lofty Lian Anna.
âI never hated you.â
âYou donât have to comfort me.â Lian Anna gave a wry smile, âIâm aware of my own situation the best. What child doesnât want their mother to accompany them, however Iâ¦â¦â She said and began to choke.
Lian Jun watched the redness of his own motherâs eyes, something to say something when he suddenly remembered what Du Lei Si said last night: âWhat parent in the world doesnât love their own children? I think yous should communicate, perhaps the misunderstanding will be lifted.â
Lian Jun said: âI donât hate you, but if you want to explain, I will listen.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lian Anna was surprised, she didnât expect that her son who always refused to listen to her own words would speak this way: âWould you like to listen to my explanation?â
âYes, Iâm willing.â
Lian Anna pulled herself together and summon up her courage, finally began revealing to her son the buried heart aches of her past decadeâ¦â¦
Let us put aside the exchanges of the mother and son for the moment, first look at one of two mouses at the wall outside the study door.
âYoung Madame, can you hear anything?â Aunty Wu asked very seriously while poking Du Lei Si with her fingers.
Du Lei Si turned her head and asked with a face of frustration. âAunty Wu, why is the sound proof in this study so good?â
Aunty Wu: âWellâ¦â¦ this is a mansion, of course there can not be bean curd residue engineering, right?â
âBut isnât this quality also a little too good?â Du Lei Si complained, she have tried to eavesdrop for so long, her waist is almost broken and even a fart couldnât be heard, she even suspected whether the President is actually in the room.
âYoung Madame, donât get discouraged, where there is a will,there is a way, I believe you will certainly be able to eavesdrop!â Aunty Wu cheered for her on the side.
ââ¦â¦â
Seeing Du Lei Siâs dejected face, Aunty Wu suddenly had a brilliant idea, âYoung Madame, why donât I go to get you a stethoscope?â
Du Lei Si was embarrassed, Aunty Wu, do you think Iâm 007?
While the two were discussing about the most convenient way to eavesdrop, Liang Liangâs very loud voice sounded: âGrandma! What are you doing here?â
Du Lei Si was startled by Liang Liang, since her body was leaning forward, it accurately hit the study roomâs door.
After the loud bang, Du Lei Si, Aunty Wu, Liang Liang, including the two people in the study, were all shocked.
