Chapter 837 - Kid Is Troublesome (1/2)
”I'll meet him in a few days,” Dylan finally managed to say after a long silence.
Zhao Wei pursed her lips for a while, ”Silly boy! Why are you avoiding him? I'd hate to see you lose a friend like him because of your sister. So, stop making excuses with yourself and talk to him.”
”Ma, I missed you!” Dylan's voice came out like a whine. A whining tone that Zhao Wei was most familiar with.
”I'm right here, why are you missing me?” she retorted trying to sound playful.
Dylan held her tightly, her heart clenched in her chest when she felt something wet on her stomach where his face was buried.
”Is it hurting?” she asked and Dylan didn't reply to her. ”I'm sorry that you have to go through this. It isn't even your fault.”
”It isn't your fault either,” said Dylan. ”Every mother loves her kids.”
Zhao Wei gave a sad smile as she said, ”But maybe my love wasn't enough.”
”No,” retorted Dylan as he lifted his tear-stained face. ”Just because sis didn't understand your love, it doesn't make you a bad mother. You tried to stand by her side till the end! But she is the one who repeatedly pushed us to the point of no return.”
Zhao Wei wiped his face gently, ”Then why are you letting her ruin something beautiful in your life? Haven't you always been proud of your friendship with Regi? Why are you trying to put a strain on that friendship now? Is it really worth it? Is it worth it to ruin that friendship over a selfish person who always thought her own self?”
Dylan was left staring at his mother's face. No matter how strained the relationship between Zhao Wei and Qiu Meihui had been, it was the first time she called her own daughter, selfish. Dylan knew his sister was selfish, but it was his first time hearing the same from his mother who did everything just to cater to her selfishness all her life.
In the end, his sister never really understood their mother. She repeatedly attacked their mother with the most brutal words. Even now, it was her words that brought their mother to the death's door. He could never forgive his sister for that.
”About her lawsuit,” he began in a small voice but was cut off by Zhao Wei.
”I don't want to know,” she replied making Dylan stunned for a minute. ”Doesn't she often says that she feels like an orphan whose parents doesn't care about her? Then let her truly experience what it feels like to be an orphan. Don't bother hiring a lawyer for her.”
”But dad...” Dylan wanted to say something but she gave him a look.
”I'll see how he goes against my decision,” she said in a firm tone. Her words were like a silent spell that made Dylan shut up. He didn't dare bring up the name of his sister again.
It seemed his mother was really giving up on her daughter.
Zhao Wei caressed his face, ”I'll never let her take away the happiness of your life. So, it's better she stays far away from son. I'm done bowing my head before her stubbornness. I'm done ruining others' life just to make her happy. Why does other have to suffer for her stubbornness? She doesn't deserve that!”
