Chapter 569 - Why Did My Mother Die Instead Of You? (1/2)
Yin Shuiling boarded the car, and Uncle Tu asked her, “Miss Yin, where are we headed?”
Yin Shuiling looked outside the window and said, “Let’s go back to school.”
…
Yin Muchen was out on a business trip for three days. Yin Shuiling ate as she was supposed to and slept as she was supposed to, and she was very quiet.
This day, she was in school. A cla.s.smate ran over to ask her, “Yin Shuiling, the date for your exchange period is coming up soon. Did you already submit your application?”
“Yeah,” Yin Shuiling nodded her head and said, “I submitted it already.”
She went to the teacher’s room in school.
At this moment, Yin Muchen returned to T City. He was in the main lounge of the airport dressed in a black s.h.i.+rt. He wore a grey round collar thin sweater on the outside with slim cut dark trousers on the bottom, and it made his entire being look tall and lanky.
Hu Ya came to pick him up and said, “President, you are back already?”
“Yeah.” Yin Muchen nodded his head, and he handed the doc.u.ment bag and coat in his hands over to Hu Ya. He held a small purple box in his hands and started to walk towards the main doors of the airport. “While I was not around, what did she do?”
Hu Ya followed him out the main doors, and he politely replied, “Miss Yin went to the prison to visit Yin De. After that, she stayed in school for the entire time. She did not behave abnormally, but President…”
Yin Muchen glanced at him and said, “What’s wrong?”
“Just now, the director of education gave us a call. Miss Yin has already submitted her application to return to England, and she is going back to England in two days.”
Yin Muchen’s facial expression was normal. He only raised his eyebrows up slightly. He walked to the side of the Rolls Royce and opened the driver’s seat door. “I got it already.”
“President…” Hu Ya called him quickly and said with concern, “You just came back. You look very exhausted. Let me drive — you can rest for a while.”
Yin Muchen shook his head and said, “There is no need for that. I will drive the car myself.”
He boarded the car and placed the small purple velvet box on the front pa.s.senger seat before he drove off into the distance.
…
Inside the Rolls Royce
There was a gap in the window of the car. The autumn breeze blew gently as it ruffled through the man’s short hair above his forehead. His extremely defined features were half steeped in the quiet cabin, and half of his face was hidden under the bright suns.h.i.+ne streaming from outside, making him look extremely handsome.
He placed two large palms on the steering wheel. He switched the headlights on, made a turn, then accelerated… All of his actions were all smooth and experienced. He was a 31 year old man, and it was the experience and expertise that the years had given to him.
There was a hint of fatigue on the man’s exquisite face that was hard to hide along with a touch of blood vessels in his eyes.
He was indeed a little tired.
He turned his gaze sideways to look at the small purple velvet box lying quietly in the front pa.s.senger seat. He slowly curled the corners of his lips, and there was a warmth lovingly seeping out of his face.
The thing that she wanted, he got it back for her.
At this moment, a melodious ringtone rang out in the air. He received a call.
It was Liu Wanxin.
He pressed the key and answered the call. “h.e.l.lo, Mum…”
“h.e.l.lo, Ah Chen. I heard Secretary Hu say that you were out on a business trip. Did you come back today?”
“Yeah, I’m back now, Mum. Is there something that you need me to handle?”
Liu Wanxin broke out into benolevent laughter as she said, “Mum doesn’t have much going on; you don’t have to be nervous. But Ah Chen, your 32nd birthday is in two days. You should come home that night. Mum will celebrate your birthday with you.”
Was his birthday in two days?
Yin Muchen pondered for a moment, and realized that it was really so, he forgot about it entirely.
Was it solely just to go back home to celebrate his birthday with his mother that night?
He recalled the candlelight dinner that he cancelled a few nights ago. She was already treating him extremely coldly.
Furthermore, she was not by his side throughout these three years, and he wanted to spend his 32nd birthday with her this time.
“Mum, I…” Yin Muchen was in a bad spot; he did not know how to reject his mother.
His mother was his only kin on this earth now. Mum was blind, her legs were disabled, her world was without any colour now, and her daily activity probably was limited to Xiao Qing pus.h.i.+ng the wheelchair for a round outside; he was the only reason his mother was pus.h.i.+ng on to live on.
Theoretically speaking, he should be celebrating his birthday with his mother.
But, she had already come back…
A mother and son were connected with their hearts. The moment Liu Wanxin heard his tone, she knew what he was thinking inside his heart. Liu Wanxin let out a heavy sigh, and her tone was both painful and disappointed as she said, “Fine, fine, fine. Since you do not want to spend your birthday with Mum, then Mum will not be troublesome. You should spend it with that Yin Shuiling then.”
“Mum, I am sorry…” Yin Muchen felt that his words were very weak. “Mum, I want to spend it with her at night, but in the morning, I want to eat the noodles that Mum prepares by hand.”
Liu Wanxin was comforted and smiled, but her tone was still displeased as she said, “What noodles do you want to eat? Does Mum have to make noodles just because you want to have them? Stop using these words to make me feel happy.”
Liu Wanxin hung up immediately.
Hearing the busy tone that was ringing out from the other end, Yin Muchen grinned.
He pressed the b.u.t.ton and dialed the girl’s number.
…
At this moment, Yin Shuiling had just come out from the teacher’s room. She was walking along the corridor, and when her phone rang, she took her phone out to have a look; it was Yin Muchen.
She took the call and said, “h.e.l.lo…”
