Chapter 305 - Spoiling Uncle (1/2)

Although He Susu left the room with a placid look, inwardly she had some heavy feelings. Zhou Ning's words had struck where it hurt. The fact that she missed out on precious years of her son could not be disregarded. And it was the cruel reality of life.

"Su," Zhu Chen placed his hands on her shoulders and looked at her with a sad smile on his face. "If we'll let her words get to us, we'll be letting her win. Don't let her guilt trip you in this way."

He Susu pressed her lips tightly before saying, "But Chen, she is right. If I had not married you and if Jie had not been our son then he really could have lived the life that people would be envious of." Her voice choked up a bit as she added, "Also, as a mother, I'm a failure. I didn't even get to hold my son or hear his first word." Tears streamed down her face and shoulders shook lightly as she sobbed silently.

"Mom," Ye Jie had been listening to her blaming herself at the side. He hugged her small frame tightly as he tried to cheer her up, "Stop crying. There is no use in blaming yourself. The only mistake in your life was being nice to someone who didn't deserve your kindness at all."

He Susu tilted her face a bit to look up at Ye Jie as she said, "But I really hate myself for not being able to hold your hand when you took your first step. That'll be my biggest regret and it will haunt me for life."

Ye Jie didn't know what to say anymore. Her words weren't wrong. They couldn't possibly turn back the time. It's true when people say, lost people and lost moments never come back. He could only sigh heavily at their lost time.

"Actually there is a way to recover those lost moments." Ye Jie and He Susu both turned to look at Ye Jun who had just chimed in to offer his 'wise-words.'

"How?" Before Ye Jie could reprimand him, He Susu asked.

"It's very simple. Ask bro to work hard." Everyone in the room frowned as they gave him an inquisitive look.

"Work hard? How is this working hard related to our topic of discussion?" Ye Jie gave Ye Jun a glare for spouting nonsense at such a time.

"Oho, bro... You're not understanding my point."

"Why don't you make me understand then?" Ye Jie retorted.

"Aiyoh, if you won't work hard how will a little Jie or little Mey come to this world? Obviously, you have to work hard for that to happen. That way Auntie here won't be missing anything since your child will definitely be a reflection of you." With his 'wise-words' Ye Jun managed to leave everyone dumbfounded.

As the moment of dumbfoundedness passed, bouts of laughter prevailed in the room. He Susu sniffled softly and said, "I like that idea." She turned to Ye Jie to say, "Work hard son!" She even patted his shoulder to encourage him leaving him speechless.
