Chapter 206 - Stingy Luoluo (1/2)

”Did he sleep?”

”Shh...” Yu Mei slowly stood up from the bed as she tucked Yu Jinhai in the blanket before walking out of the room followed by Shi Luo, ”Let him sleep more for today. Since he has exams tomorrow, inform his school that he will be there by the second half,” Yu Mei settled on the couch.

”What happened to him? He vomited everything he ate and suddenly started crying. Ah Jin is usually not like that. Even though he is not cheerful all the time, but he is never this chaotic. I panicked today.”

”It's all my fault,” Yu Mei rubbed her forehead, ”I completely forgot that today is his mother's death anniversary.”

”Logically, she should be your mother too.”

”I don't know about that but as a woman, I do respect her a lot,” She sighed, ”Mistress or not, she did her best to protect her children from all the storms. She even arranged a betrothal between Yu Mei Zhen and Jun Zixuan so that her daughter would be safe under her friend's wings if anything happens to her in the future. That's a different thing that her daughter never appreciated her efforts. But to me, she was a strong and resilient woman who withered because of the circumstances.”

Shi Luo nodded, ”That's true. She must have her own struggles in that family.”

”Ah Jin has gone through a lot of torment. What hurt him more than the Yu Family was the attitude of his biological sister towards him. Sometimes, she would lock him in the darkroom. Hell, she once sold him off to a bunch of child traffickers. Although he is attached to me now, but there is still that deep fear instilled in him that one day I would not love him like before,” Yu Mei leaned back on the couch as she glanced at the ceiling.

Usually, she did not judge the previous owner as she thought whatever she did must have some reason behind it, be it slitting her wrist for Jun Zixuan or scheming against everyone. But at times like this, Yu Mei labeled her as a 'bitch' in her heart. She detested her mother for being a mistress. That's her opinion. But what did this innocent child do to deserve her hate? Why must he go through all these torments?

Shi Luo inched closer to Yu Mei before patting her shoulder, ”Leave it to time. I think Ah Jin will heal slowly. We just have to be patient with him and even though he won't be able to forget those painful memories, we can at least create some good new ones.”

”You're right.”

”Mei, do you think Li Na was murdered?”

”You think the Yu Family killed her?” As Shi Luo nodded, Yu Mei shook her head, ”I have the memories. She passed away from a brain stroke.''

Shi Luo sighed, ”Anyways, I told Mom that I met her old best friend and she is now excited to reunite with your mother-in-law.”

”That's good. You can drive her there when you're free. I'll inform her.”

Shi Luo nodded, ”Lately, Mom has been asking me about you. I don't know how to answer her.”

”You have told her about me?”

”No, I mean Han Mei,” Shi Luo's brows tugged together, ”I can't tell her that you're dead, can I? Her reactions will be extreme.”
