Chapter 118 Do you miss your mother?
An Lian's face flashed with indifference, "Well, he has something going on in the camp."
Zeng Yichen sensed this inexplicable sense of alienation and couldn't help but turn his head to look at her worriedly, "What's wrong, sister-in-law? Did you have a fight with brother?"
"No." An Lian denied lightly.
Zeng Yichen felt something was wrong after hearing her answer. You know, whenever his sister-in-law talked about topics related to his brother, she was always reserved but also full of admiration and dependence.
But today, An Lian gave him a very strange feeling, as if she had become a different person.
After all these years, this is the first time Zeng Yichen has seen An Lian so cold.
It’s over, they must have had a fight, and it looks like it must have been pretty serious…
"Sister-in-law, my brother is indeed a bit chauvinistic sometimes, but he is still a very good person..." Zeng Yichen tried to comfort her.
"Okay?" An Lian seemed to be unable to listen any more, and interrupted with a gloomy look in her eyes: "Do you really understand him?"
Zeng Yichen was stunned for a moment, then said firmly: "Of course! My brother is an excellent man! I can be sure of that!"
An Lian's eyes dimmed, her right hand unconsciously placed on her left arm, her fingertips clenched the cotton sleeve, and she was trembling slightly.
Zeng Yichen felt a little flustered when he saw her being silent.
"Sister-in-law, don't be sad. I don't know what happened between you, but I believe it must be a misunderstanding. I will definitely persuade my brother to apologize to you!"
An Lian still kept her head down and remained silent, her face expressionless. Beneath her calm surface, she was struggling desperately inside.
She didn't know whether she should tell Zeng Yichen or not. She really couldn't bear to let this innocent boy know these cruel truths.
The brother and father who seemed like heroes to him since childhood turned out to be so disgusting and sickening in reality.
Even an outsider like her could hardly bear the truth. If she were to tell him... I'm afraid the worldview he had formed since childhood would collapse.
She slowly loosened her sleeves, without saying a word, reached out to start the car and drove into the yard.
Seeing this, Zeng Yichen sat there obediently and didn't dare to say another word. He silently made up his mind to persuade his elder brother to coax his sister-in-law.
Seeing the silence on the road in the courtyard, Zeng Yichen said again: "By the way, sister-in-law, if dad asks about it, can you help me cover for him? I don't want him to worry."
An Lian's eyes flashed and she said "hmm".
When Zeng Yichen mentioned his loving old father, his heart was warmed, as if he had opened up a conversation box, and he began to reflect again:
"Dad really worried a lot about me. When I was a kid, I often resented him for marrying Aunt Mei. I was really selfish and ignorant..."
Whether it is love or family.
It turns out he really does always put himself first.
Zeng Yichen smiled self-deprecatingly, but in his heart he couldn't help but think of Jiang Manxi's words that had enlightened him, and he felt grateful to her.
Especially when she thought about how she had just fumbled around in the car to get his phone and hit him... and then she even took out a golf club...
Miss Jiang, seems to be quite cute too.
But at this moment, the car suddenly braked.
"Shit..." Zeng Yichen screamed in fright. He was not wearing a seat belt and his nose almost hit the table.
He turned his head in panic and looked at An Lian, shouting:
"Sister-in-law, are you okay? Did you get hurt?!"
Hearing this, An Lian's brows furrowed in pain and struggle.
It would be cruel to tell the child the truth.
But he was kept in the dark and deceived by his hypocritical father all his life, and he still had to be grateful.
The mother he missed was still alive, but he could never see her again in his life.
Isn't that cruel???
She swallowed frantically, turned her head and looked at Zeng Yichen, her eyes slightly red.
Zeng Yichen suddenly became nervous when he saw this. An Lian was so abnormal today, as if she had become a different person. He asked nervously:
"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, why are you..."
Before he could finish his question, he was interrupted by An Lian with a random remark.
"Do you miss your mother?"
Zeng Yichen was stunned for a long time, then he slowly lowered his head.
"I don't want to anymore."
An Lian shed a tear suddenly. She turned her head to look out the window, wiped away her tears calmly, and said lightly:
"If you don't miss her, she will be very sad."
Zeng Yichen lowered his head, and a huge tear fell on his hand.
How could he not think about it? But he didn't dare to think about it.
His voice was very pale as he defended himself:
"If I keep thinking about my mother, she will be worried about me. How can she be at ease to reincarnate, go to a new world, and start a new life?"
A new, better, healthier and longer life.
Life without him.
As long as mom is happy, it doesn't matter if she doesn't love him anymore.
Listening to his words, An Lian's heart ached. She took a deep breath:
"What if...she is still in this world?"
Zeng Yichen suddenly turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of surprise and expectation, but soon, this strong light went out by itself.
How can it be……
"If you were still in this world, how could you abandon me?" Zeng Yichen's voice sounded like it was about to break.
An Lian lowered her eyes and said in a cold tone, "What if her personal freedom is restricted?"
Zeng Yichen frowned, becoming more and more confused by An Lian's words.
"How is it possible? My mother was a general's wife. Who dares to restrict her personal freedom?"
An Lian turned to face him, her face gray and cold, "Isn't the answer obvious because of this?"
Zeng Yichen was stunned. His brain was digesting these words over and over again, but he didn't dare to swallow the chewed content...
"Sister-in-law! Even if you and my brother have a conflict, you shouldn't frame my father too! Don't you think it's too much to throw such a big basin of dirty water on him?!"
Zeng Yichen's voice suddenly increased, his tone became extremely anxious, and his chest began to rise and fall violently.
An Lian's eyelids twitched slightly, and there was a hint of guilt and pity in her eyes.
She knew that from now on, he would start to get hurt.
It was still a huge, flesh-tearing, and extremely painful wound.
She was speechless, and silently turned her head to look forward, intending to continue driving forward and send him back.
But Zeng Yichen turned the key angrily and turned off the car.
"Sister-in-law, please explain to me clearly! Why on earth do you want to slander my father like this!!"
An Lian swallowed, "I didn't say anything, isn't it all your imagination?"
"I..." Zeng Yichen's chest heaved violently, but the words to argue were stuck in his throat.
He really made it up in his mind...
But looking at An Lian's cold look, he really couldn't get used to her like this, and shouted unacceptably:
"How come you didn't say anything?! Starting from my brother, you slandered him as not a good person! What misunderstandings did you have about my brother that made you become like this today?! Where did my once gentle and kind sister-in-law go!!"
