Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Madam Xiao felt as if her entire body had been submerged in a cold pool. The chills were cutting into her flesh and bones. It was too painful… Those words hurt her too much.

This was her son, the biological son she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. But he hated her to his core!

Oh G.o.d, oh G.o.d! She had failed so much in her life that even her only kin hated her!

Commander Xia didn’t have the habit of smoking. He poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly. He didn’t interrupt Xia Jinyuan.

He wanted to save some dignity for her, but she was the one who insisted on having a falling out with him… She was already over 50 years old. If she continued to act so shamelessly like this, how was she going to continue living?

Xia Jinyuan was someone who needed to make a decision immediately. When he saw that Madam Xiao was on good terms with the Xia family’s enemy, he knew that if he didn’t cut her off now, there would be trouble in the future!

Madam Li was not a kind-hearted person. Some people were old and kind, while others were old and cold-hearted. Madam Li was the latter!

In her eyes, the Du family was the best, while the Xia family had long been a thorn in her side!

After all, Old Xia had always been better than her husband!

“Since we stumbled into each other today, I’ll make things clear so that you won’t blame the wrong person again. You can even consider it as me stopping you from ever coming to look for me.

“You’re wrong, Madam Xiao. You’re absolutely wrong, My dad is a responsible man, and he’s a good man who doesn’t wish for his son to be hated.

“Tm the one who doesn’t want to see you. It’s not the old man who’s stopping me. I don’t dare to accept those women you want to introduce to me either. Those people who you think are good, I’ll definitely avoid them.

“Idon’t dare to accept your gestures, and I’m also afraid to accept them. I’m afraid that after I accept your good intentions by marrying a wife of your choosing and giving birth to a child, I’ll go down the same path as my old man. I’ll have to take up both fatherly and motherly duties myself while raising

the baby. Eventually, I’ll become an old man no one wants.”

“Ah Yuan, don’t… Don’t say anymore… It’s my fault… It’s all my fault.” Madam Xiao sobbed. “I was selfish. I only thought about myself and didn’t think about you. Don’t say anymore… I was wrong. I was really wrong.”

Xia Jinyuan was not moved at all when she cried. “I don’t have a mother. I only have an old man who is both a father and a mother to me. Don’t call yourself my mother again. I, Xia Jinyuan, have never called you ‘Mom’ before. And I won’t do so in the future as well.

“It’s too late for you to blame yourself now. I’ve already grown up. When I was 16 years old, it’s all thanks to you scolding the old man, saying that he wasn’t doing a good job of raising me and that’s why I was a piece of trash. I sincerely thank you, Madam Xiao. It was all thanks to your words that day that

I woke up. That’s why I, Xia Jinyuan, am here today.

“Let’s use tea as a subst.i.tute for wine. Thank you for scolding me back then. If you hadn’t called me trash, I think I would’ve really become trash instead of joining the military.

“Let me give you a toast.”

Xia Jinyuan finished the warm tea in one gulp. He looked at Madam Xiao, who was crying until her makeup was ruined. He even placed a tissue box on the tumtable and turned it so that she could reach the tissue. “Wipe your face. I have a heart of stone. I won’t be moved even if you shed blood and tears.”

Madam Xiao was crying so hard that she couldn’t even open her eyes. Her son… He hated her so much. She was indeed self-righteous. She thought that as long as they were biologically related, everything would be different..
