Chapter 589 - If Youre Unhappy, Just Leave (2/2)

Although she had known this from the start, Wei Lan couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. What a pity, that sure was an adorable child.

Gao Xin sat next to Gao Yi and placed his hands onto Gao Yi's shoulder. ”Mom, you're thinking too much. The child is adorable. I became an uncle, and you've become a grandmother. Isn't this a happy occasion?

”As long as Brother likes her, that's enough. Since when have you seen him care so much for another person? Don't you feel that right now, he seems more like a human and not a robot?” His words were perhaps a little too harsh. However, it was pretty much true. Gao Yi smiled more than before… although he still looked the same when he fought with Bai Zhenfeng. Nevertheless, when interacting with Xia Ruoxin and that child, Gao Yi was surprisingly gentle; and even he was stunned to see that.

Wei Lan thought for a bit. Indeed, that child was very adorable. Although she was another person's child—really, as long as her son was happy, it was fine. Her eldest son had finally found something that he wanted so she was just going to let him have it.

”Mom, so you've accepted Ruoxin and Rainy?” Gao Yi asked upon seeing his mother's expression relax. Actually, since the moment his mother gripped Xia Ruoxin's hand, he could already tell that she had long accepted Ruoxin.

”Yes, Ruoxin is a good woman.” Wei Lan nodded her head. She didn't have any Buddhist beliefs, and she also didn't care too much about a person's background. As long as her child liked the person, she was fine. Furthermore, she herself had also gotten remarried with a child.

”It's just that…” Wei Lan let out a sigh. She stood up, her expression faintly becoming troubled. ”I agree with it, but I know that your Uncle Bai isn't going to agree to this. He had always wanted you to marry Bai Luoyin, and it's not as if you don't know that character of his.”

She agreed and gave her consent; however, Bai Zhenfeng would never agree. Although Gao Yi wasn't his blood-related son, nominally, there were still—in fact—father and son.

Gao Xin inevitably curled his lips. ”If he doesn't agree, then he doesn't agree. Does he still think that we're kids? He controlled the first half of our lives. Is he going to control our future as well?”

Gao Yi crossed his arms in front of his chest and stood up as well. ”Mom, I brought Ruoxin back not for him to see her. It was also not to get his consent. I just wanted you to meet her and to let you know that I've already found the woman that I want. Lastly, to tell you that I'm living very well now.”

He had never cared whether Bai Zhenfeng agreed or not. If he was that easy to persuade, then he wouldn't have left the house for three years, only coming back now. This house… if it wasn't for his mother and his younger brother, he definitely wouldn't step half a foot into it.

”But, after all, he was the one who raised you.” Wei Lan still felt a little troubled. She understood. She understood everything. It was just that she really didn't want her two sons to fight with Bai Zhenfeng to the point where reconciliation becomes impossible between them. When that happens, their family really wouldn't be a family anymore.

”Mom…” Gao Xin suddenly stood up and placed his hands onto Wei Lan's shoulder. Ever since Brother left the house, the only relative that he had was his mother. Since when was Bai Zhenfeng their family?

”Mom, if you're unhappy living here, why don't you just leave?”

Thinking back on how Bai Zhenfeng treated them, he felt terrible. The man who said he would take care of the two in the past but went back on his word eventually. However, he would not blame anyone. After all, he was not biological.

Just that, Bai Zhenfeng could not dictate these three their fates his whole life. They were humans, living beings… beings that are able to think themselves.

Wei Lan suddenly realized something and laughed bitterly at the end. She was already old. No matter if she was happy or not, more than half her life had already passed.
