Xie He did not dare to say a word. She knew very well that she owed Lu An more than this all these years. Tonight’s strike was enough to end everything. However, Xie He did not expect that she would expose herself in this round.

Lu An had rushed to her house in the middle of the night, and she had been completely flustered. She had taken the initiative to admit her mistake without saying anything. Lu An did not say a word from the beginning to the end. He just stared at Xie He. His dark eyes were sharp, like a wolf lurking in the forest, vigilant and a little ruthless.

Xie He felt guilty because she did not know what Lu An would do. Instead, she blamed Jin Nian for not keeping her word. She had promised her that she would keep her secret.

The moment she mentioned Jin Nian, Lu An grabbed Xie He’s arm and slammed her back against the wall, “Aren’t you a shrewd schemer? How could you not have predicted that this was just me tricking you?”

Xie He’s expression suddenly changed. She stared at him with a pair of eyes that were almost identical to himself. Suddenly, she praised him, “You’re my son. You’re better than your master now.”

“Xie He, do you think I’m here to catch up with you? Please get as far away from me and Jin Nian as you can in the future.”

“Since things have come to this, I already apologized. I’ve said a basketful of good things. Do you want me to die?”

“Can you?”

“My death won’t change anything. If you still don’t feel satisfied, you can beat me up.”

Lu An suddenly let go of Xie He, and Xie He almost fell to the ground. After all, she was the woman who had given birth to him. Lu An would never lay a hand on her. Even though Lu An had a bad temper, he would never swing his fist at someone weaker than him, regardless of whether that person was his biological mother or not.

He hated it to the core. They had been separated for six years, and it was all because of Xie He’s obstruction. The huge ups and downs in his emotions made him feel as if he was about to collapse. Lu An finally realized why Jin Nian was afraid of Xie He and why her expression turned ugly the moment she saw her.

That summer, he had said something so harsh that it was unprecedented. What was she thinking at that time? Lu An remembered clearly that her eyes were slightly red at that time, but she stubbornly refused to shed a single tear. Now, it seemed that she had been extremely wronged. After he left, she must have hidden and cried for a long time.

In six years, the two of them had missed out on many things in each other’s lives. What could they rely on to make up for it? How many six years were there in one’s life?

Lu An’s eyes were bloodshot, and his heart hurt as if it was being pinched by a pair of big hands. He picked up the ashtray on the coffee table and smashed it fiercely at the television. Then, things got out of hand. This house had completely become a garbage dump, and millions of dollars had been reduced to pieces under their feet.

“Xie He, even if you were cut into a thousand pieces, you wouldn’t be able to compensate us for these six years!”

Xie He sighed, “Lu An, it’s all in the past. You’ve already smashed everything, isn’t that enough?”

“Not enough!” Lu An gritted his teeth. “What right do you have to be so nonchalant! On what basis?”

At this point, Xie He could tell that Lu An was going to break the relationship between them, so she stopped arguing, “1 know what 1 did was wrong. 1’11 try my best to make it up to the two of you in the future. Whether you want to get married or date, 1 won’t stop you anymore. Is that okay?”

“You’re stopping me? What right do you have to stop me?”

“Anan…”

The ringing of the phone interrupted their argument. When Lu An saw the name on the screen, his expression eased. In his heart, there was no need to say which was more important, Xie He or Jin Nian.

Xie He suddenly remembered when Lu An was very young. At that time, he was not this cold. He wanted her to accompany him every day, but she did not know how to be a good mother at that time. She was too busy with work, so she often could not do what she promised him. When Lu An saw her again, he complained pitifully, “I don’t like Mommy anymore. Mommy is a big liar.”

However, as long as she bought him something nice to coax him, Lu An would soften up. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, “Mommy, I forgive you. You have to come back and visit me more often in the future, okay?” Lu An always indulged and pitied the people he cared about without any bottom line.

As a child, no matter how cold the mother was to the child, the child would feel that the mother had her own difficulties or that he had done something wrong to make the mother unhappy. No one would realize that there really were parents in this world who did not love their children that much. Or rather, she loved herself more..
