“Auntie, we can’t be unreasonable, right? I respect you as a senior. How could I let you kneel in front of me!” Chen Chen sighed and said. “She went too far this time. I can’t forgive her.”
“Then are you going to watch Hu Wan die of depression and regret?” Hu Wan’s mother said with a sobbing tone.
“Auntie, get up first. If you don’t, we really can’t talk.”
Chen Chen looked at the old mother on the ground who had abandoned all her dignity for her daughter. He closed his eyes and said, “If you don’t get up, then stay here. I’m going out to do something.”
Chen Chen let go of Hu Wan’s mother and pretended to leave. Hu Wan’s mother quickly pulled Chen Chen up and shouted, “Chen Chen, don’t leave yet.”
“Okay, let’s talk in the house,” Chen Chen said silently.
“Okay.” Seeing that she could not force him, Hu Wan’s mother could only follow Chen Chen to the sofa and sit down.
“Auntie, I’ll make you a cup of tea.” Chen Chen let go of Hu Wan’s mother and turned to leave.
Hu Wan’s mother stopped him and said, “Chen Chen, let’s not talk nonsense between us. Sit down and let’s talk directly.”
“Okay, Auntie. Tell me.” Chen Chen sat down casually, expressionless.
“Auntie really can’t bear to see Hu Wan like this. You didn’t visit her these past few days. She refuses to eat or treat herself at the hospital every day. Today, she finally plucked up her courage and went to look for you. In the end, she came back and cried again.”
Hu Wan’s mother sighed deeply. “Chen Chen, her body really can’t withstand such torture now… If she took good care of herself, she might have lasted for more than two months, but now… it might even be a month!”
“Auntie, since she’s sick, she should be recuperating in the hospital. She spends all day thinking about random things. How can her body be good?” Chen Chen’s tone was unkind. Although he felt a little pity for Hu Wan when he thought of her, he could not tolerate anyone who hurt Bai Ran.
“She also mentioned to me intermittently about what Hu Wan did later. Auntie knew that it was her who did these things wrong, but she really did it because she loved you too much. She really can’t lose you!” Hu Wan’s mother tried her best to explain.
“I’ve already promised her that I’ll marry her. What’s she still worried about? Must she kill someone?” Chen Chen was very speechless, his eyes filled with coldness.
“What about the date? How long do you want her to wait for you?” Hu Wan’s mother asked.
“Besides, you always have an unclear relationship with Bai Ran. How can she not worry?” Hu Wan’s mother continued.
“I’m begging you. Even if you like Bai Ran, can’t you just endure for a month or two? When Hu Wan goes, she can’t control you no matter how you want to play.”
Hu Wan’s mother’s eyes were wet as she began to cry. “She really doesn’t have much time to fuss about it.”
“Hu Wan’s health has not been very good since she was born. Since she was young, she has practically been taking medicine and treating illnesses. Is she really not worth your heartache?”
Hu Wan’s mother said silently, “Do you still remember when you guys went on a spring outing when you were young? You played games there and Hu Wan stood behind you. Initially, she was just looking at the fun, but you backed away and ran while playing. You accidentally pushed her into the small pond behind. It was early spring weather, and the weather was very cold. The water in the pond was very cold. She herself had heart disease. When you called for a teacher and rushed to save her, she was already on her last breath.”
“That time, it really hurt her body’s foundation. Although her health was not good, to begin with and she was destined to not have the same lifespan as ordinary people, she could clearly live for a longer time. Because of that mistake, her future life was almost taken away by God.. Now, living one more day is worth it. Even so, aren’t you willing to take responsibility for your past mistakes? Can’t you let her leave happily?”
