âMommy, if you eat this golden ingot, youâll have lots of money and wonât have to worry anymore,â little Xiao Xiao earnestly declared, cradling the golden ingot with utmost reverence.
Before Coco could respond, the door unexpectedly swung open, and Shen Ning rushed in, panting heavily.
âCoco.â The moment she entered, she embraced him tightly, holding him as though she feared he might slip away.
âMommy?â Coco looked puzzled.
âCoco, please tell Mommy quickly, have you met a man named Li Zhenting recently?â Shen Ning held Coco tightly, trembling all over.
Cocoâs face paled.
Oh no, he thought, Mommy has probably found out about him and Ding Ding!
What should he do?
âCome on, do you know him?â With no response from Coco, she grew increasingly anxious, lowering her head to look at her sonâs small face.
Coco opened his mouthâ¦
Shen Ning seemed to grasp the situation. Her face darkened, her body grew icy, and her hand holding Coco started to shake.
At the Li manor.
Ding Ding sat on the couch, engrossed in flipping through a comic book.
Mommy had told him not to spend too much time on his phone, as it wasnât good for his eyes. So, after a while on his phone, he had turned to his comic book.
Shen Mei approached him.
âDing Ding.â She called out.
âYeah.â Ding Ding didnât lift his head, simply responding with a nonchalant âyeah.â
Shen Mei stood in front of him, scrutinizing his small face. It looked exactly like Li Zhentingâsâso delicate and strikingly handsome.
Her eyes filled with coldness, and she clenched her fingers tightly. Then she turned and walked toward the water dispenser.
A while later, she took Ding Dingâs water glass and relaxed her grip on it, revealing a packet of white powder on the palm of her hand. @@novelbin@@
Ding Ding, itâs not my fault. Itâs yours for being so troublesome!
You actually opposed my marriage to your dad, so Iâll ensure you become foolish!
âMommy.â She had just picked up the hot water and was about to add the medicine when, suddenly, Lan Lan ran over from behind.
Startled, Shen Mei trembled, and the medicine powder spilled onto the floor.
âLan Lan, why are you so jumpy?â Shen Mei scolded her without patience, hurriedly wiping away the spilled powder with a tissue.
Lan Lan stood there, looking bewildered.
She had only called out âMommy.â What was there to be so surprised about?
Mommyâs temper had been growing stranger lately, and she seemed to get angry with her for no reason.
As night fell, the sky glittered with little stars.
Near the walls of the Li manor.
Shen Ning stood by a small door, anxiously peering inside, her face filled with worry and heartache.
âMommy, Ding Ding is so pitiful. That wicked witch ignores him and even hits him. She scalded him with boiling water. I donât know how he managed to grow up like this.â
âDing Ding is introverted and doesnât talk much. Their home is so cold, only his grandmother is nice to him.â
âMommy, Ding Ding isnât sick; he just doesnât want to talk. But Daddy wants to treat him.â
Cocoâs words echoed in her ears.
She felt so heartbroken that she couldnât breathe.
It turned out that the last child born six years ago hadnât died but had been stolen through some scheme. She didnât know the details, but she understood one thing: Ding Ding must be her child. Otherwise, there was no way he could look exactly like Coco.
Even children understood such matters, so how could she not?
Initially, she was excited because she had gained another son.
But the subsequent heartache left her in agony.
Her son had grown up by the side of that malicious woman. How could such a little child have survived?
Throughout the afternoon, she had been shedding tears continuously.
What made her even more sorrowful was that Ding Ding had lived by her side for many days, and she hadnât noticed it because she was busy with work.
She had even scolded him for playing with his phone too much.
She felt guilty and wished she could fly to Ding Dingâs side, hug him tightly, and give him plenty of kisses..
