Chapter 282 - A son’s misery (1/2)

Frustration and confusion surged through Leng Shao. Why was everyone crying? It's like he is the only one being kept in the dark and he hated that feeling.

”I'm sorry son.” His mother's pained voice snapped him out of his stupor. He knitted his brows together and c.a.r.e.s.sed her cheeks.

”Mom, why are you apologizing? Tell me what is wrong. Did Mr. Lei hurt you?”

Leng Shao demanded as irritation surged inside him.

”Nono…”Mrs Leng shook her aggressively.

”I-I...”

”What! Why are you so scared to talk to me? You can't even look at me in the eyes.”

”I-I can't.” Her voice cracked and she shook her head.

”What do you mean, you can't?” Leng Shao asked.

”I can't tell you.” She whispered as tears fell out of her eyes.

”Mom-” Mrs. Leng shook her head and looked at her hands without answering.

”Damn it mom!” He yelled.

Tears kept falling as she remained quiet. Leng Shao racked his hand through hair as he let out a frustrated sigh.

He paused when he saw a laptop on the table. For some unknown reasons, his guts were telling him to check it out. Leng Shao has always believed in his guts.

Mrs. Leng followed Leng Shao's gaze and saw him staring at the laptop. Her heart raced out of her c.h.e.s.t and before she could stop Leng Shao, he was already at the table.

Leng Shao saw a paused video on the laptop and clicked on the play button. Mrs. Leng watched her son's expression move from confusion to anger.

That is it. It seems she had no choice but to tell her son the truth. But she was afraid that he would hate her. For what seems like forever but a few minutes, she heard Leng Shao's voice.

”Mom—what is this?” Mrs. Leng flinched and kept looking down. She was afraid to see her son's eyes gleaming with disgust for her.

”You...tell me it is not true. Please.” Tears escaped from his eyes.

A great sob escaped Mrs. Leng and she covered her face with her shaking hands.

”I'm sorry. I did it for you!” Mrs. Leng bellowed

Leng Shao stiffened when he heard his mother.

”The video that was leaked, I created it. I couldn't bear to see you suffer so I was looking for a way to help when a man approached me at the cafe one rainy day.
