ACBNHTS Chapter 60

Kindergarten:

“Today’s class is over. School will be dismissed soon. Line up nicely. Children who are being picked up by adults, don’t rush, come out one by one.”

The children in the classroom replied in unison, “Okay.”

The children lined up and followed the teacher out of the classroom. Not long after leaving the classroom, Sheng Tong saw Yin Xue at a glance and stopped.

Yin Xue noticed Sheng Tong looking over and waved quickly.

“Tongtong, over here! Tongtong!”

The teacher heard the sound and turned around. “Tongtong, is she calling you?”

Sheng Tong nodded, looking serious and scared, “But I don’t know her.”

The teacher’s expression tightened.

Seeing the teacher also looking over, Yin Xue waved her hand even more excitedly, “Tongtong, it’s Mommy!”

Upon hearing this, the teacher’s expression became grave.

She had never heard Sheng Tong mention his mother.

The teacher asked Sheng Tong, “Is someone picking you up today?”

Because this kindergarten was attached to the residential area, it had two school gates, one facing outside the residential area and one inside.

All the children who didn’t have parents picking them up went through the inner gate, directly into the residential area, which was very safe. Those who were picked up by parents went through the outer gate.

“Aunt Tao will be waiting for me in the residential area.”

Outsiders couldn’t enter the high-end residential area, but the teacher was still a little worried.

“The teacher will take you there.”

Sheng Tong nodded, took the teacher’s hand, and met up with Aunt Tao.

The teacher told Aunt Tao about the woman who came to look for Tongtong today.

Aunt Tao told Sheng Yiguang about it that evening.

Sheng Yiguang immediately guessed who it was and asked Sheng Tong to confirm.

Sheng Tong lowered his voice, “It was her, that bad woman who wanted you to support her! I told the teacher I didn’t know her!”

After speaking, he paused, “You won’t blame me for lying, right?”

Sheng Yiguang was filled with anger, his lungs aching.

She actually went to find Sheng Tong!

Not even sparing a child!

So unscrupulous! So shameless!

He was angry and also felt ashamed.

Sheng Yiguang suppressed his emotions and praised Tongtong with a smile.

“No, you did well.”

“Then can Tongtong eat KFC today? Tongtong wants to eat KFC, Brother~”

“Yes, Brother will buy it for you.”

Sheng Tong cheered and hugged Sheng Yiguang’s leg, blowing a kiss, “Fries, Tongtong wants fries.”

“Okay.”

Sheng Tong jumped around the room excitedly.

Sheng Yiguang looked at him, recalling the first time he appeared before him, holding a tattered cotton doll, sallow and thin, cautious and timid.

“Are you my brother?”

Sheng Yiguang pinched his brow, returned to the bedroom, stood in front of the window, his gaze casually falling outside, and recalled his own childhood.

His parents took him out to play. He rode on his father’s neck, watching fireworks, and his mother stood beside him holding balloons, smiling at him.

“Xiao Guang, did you see it?”

“I saw it! So beautiful!”

“Xiao Guang, are you happy?”

“Happy!”

At that time, he could have whatever he wanted, his allowance was more than the surrounding children, and he could even treat others to spicy sticks.

But later, after going to his grandparents’ house, he was embarrassed to ask for the 40 yuan for textbooks, and he felt guilty even before opening his mouth.

He could never forget that wrinkled forty yuan, stacked with ones, fives, and tens.

His grandparents had to tell him about their hardships and the difficulties at home for every bill.

He needed to reach out once for every bill.

Every bill was like a board hitting his palm, wanting him to kneel down.

…

Sheng Yiguang took out his phone, found Yin Xue’s contact information, and made a call.

As soon as the phone connected, a pretentious voice came from the phone.

“Hello~~”

“What do you want to do by finding Sheng Tong?”

“Xiao Guang?” A hesitant voice came over, and the voice returned to normal, “So it’s Xiao Guang! I just want to see Tongtong. If I hadn’t been forced to, I wouldn’t have wanted to abandon…”

Sheng Yiguang interrupted coldly, “You don’t need to say hypocritical words. Whether you want to take him back or use him to ask me for money, I won’t let you get your wish.”

Yin Xue pleaded in a low voice, “Xiao Guang, Mommy is really having a hard time. Please have mercy on Mommy.”

“I didn’t have a good time before either, but I didn’t see you come to see me or give me a call.”

“Wasn’t I busy?”

“Busy with what? Busy finding a boyfriend?”

Yin Xue’s voice turned cold, “How dare you talk to your mother like that!?”

“If you want money so badly, I can also, in consideration of you raising me for a few years, buy you a cemetery plot when you die.”

Yin Xue screamed, “What are you saying? Are you cursing me to die? He’s my son! I gave birth to you, and I gave birth to him too! You two should give me money!”

“Should? You should have taken care of me when you should have, and now you want to strangle us both with an umbilical cord? Dream on!”

“It’s just asking you for some money. Isn’t your boyfriend very rich? What’s wrong with giving me some?”

She was even eyeing Pei Du!

Blood rushed to the top of his head, every inch of his body seemed to be burning, and every cell was roaring silently.

“Don’t even think about him either!”

“This isn’t allowed and that isn’t allowed, then give Tongtong back to me!”

“You’re dreaming!”

Sheng Yiguang’s volume increased sharply. Considering that Sheng Tong was still outside, Sheng Yiguang lowered his voice again.

“If it weren’t for me, he would have died long ago!”

“You abandoned me, abandoned him, and now you want to take him back, and then abandon him again when he has no value?”

“Neither I nor Sheng Tong will recognize you! If you dare to appear near us again, I will take action against you! You should also know that my boyfriend is rich and powerful. The rule of law prevents me from killing you, but making you wish you were dead is still possible!”

Yin Xue screamed hysterically, “You—”

Sheng Yiguang hung up the phone directly, his hands supporting the window sill, his head drooping as if he had lost all strength, but his back was bent like a fully drawn bow.

Someone hugged him from behind.

Sheng Yiguang stiffened in shock.

Pei Du said softly, “Don’t be afraid, it’s me.”

Sheng Yiguang immediately softened and let Pei Du hug him.

He hugged him as if supporting him with his embrace, warm, powerful, like a harbor.

The anger gradually subsided, and his emotions slowly calmed down.

“When did you get back?”

“I rushed back when Aunt Tao said someone went to the kindergarten to find Tongtong.”

“Did I delay your work?”

“No.” Pei Du lied very smoothly, tilting his head to kiss him, “Don’t think about these things.”

Sheng Yiguang was quiet for a while, “Did you hear everything?”

“Almost. So fierce.”

Sheng Yiguang pursed his lips and explained, “Tongtong and you are my bottom line.”

“I know, I understand. I’m very happy to see you so fierce. Our bb has grown claws.”

Pei Du said with a smile, grabbed his hand, squeezed his palm, and kissed his fingertip.

Sheng Yiguang immediately became embarrassed and retracted his hand.

Pei Du hugged him, constantly comforting him, “bb, don’t have any psychological burden, and don’t be sad. A person like her doesn’t deserve to be your mother. It’s already very kind to buy her a cemetery plot. You did very well.”

Pei Du: “Want to cry?”

Sheng Yiguang’s eyes suddenly turned red.

He couldn’t understand why Yin Xue would go to such lengths for money?

Even if she didn’t like him and Sheng Tong, she could treat them like strangers.

He could still remember her good side.

But now…

Sheng Yiguang couldn’t believe that his mother was like this.

Had Yin Xue become like this, or was the mother in his memory always fake?

Pei Du hugged him tightly, stroking his back.

“Cry then.”
