Chapter 260 - Have You Got No Conscience? (1/2)

Zhao Wei was finally allowed to be bailout after spending a few days in jail. When she walked out of the police station, both Li Mu Bai and Li Mu Chen were waiting to pick her up.

When Li Mu Chen saw her mother's disheveled look, she immediately hugged her mother and cried. Li Mu Bai followed her sister closely and looked at his mother with concern.

However, Zhao Wei was not concern about her crying daughter. She pulled away from her daughter and held out her hand. ”Mu Chen, did you bring my phone? Give it to me.”

Li Mu Chen sniffed before she took out her mother's phone from her bag. Then, she watched as her mother frantically dialed a number. She pressed the phone to her ears and waited. But it doesn't seem that the other person on the line was going to pick up her call.

Zhao Wei repeated the action a few more times before she flung the phone in her hand. The device hit the ground and cracked.

”Mom, what's wrong?” Li Mu Chen wiped the streaming tears on her cheek.

Zhao Wei took a few deep breaths as she tried to calm down. She should have known that those thugs will break off contact once they found out that she was no longer useful to them.

As she continued to stare at her broken phone, the anger in her eyes gradually dimmed. When she looked up again, Zhao Wei realized then realized that they were still at the police station.

”Mom, what's wrong with you?” Li Mu Chen continued to ask.

”Stop crying,” Zhao Wei reprimanded. She grabbed her daughter's arms and tugged her forward. ”Let's go. I don't want to stay here for too long.”

”Oh,” Li Mu Chen nodded.

”Wait,” Zhao Wei stopped on her tracks and turned to look at her children. ”Tell me what has been going on while I was in jail.”

”Mom, let's talk once we get home,” Li Mu Bai spoke. ”It is not suitable to talk here. Besides, Dad is still waiting for us at home.”

”Alright,” Zhao Wei quickly agreed to her son's suggestion, and soon, the three of them were sitting in Li Mu Bai's vehicle as he drove them back home.

The drive back to their house was filled with nothing but Li Mu Chen's constant complaints at how their family was treating them.

Li Mu Bai tightened his grip on the steering wheel as he glanced at his mother through the mirror. His expression changed as various thoughts went through his mind. If anyone looked at his face carefully, they would notice the apparent disappointment in his expression.

He could not describe the feeling he had towards her mother right now. He was too shocked the first time he heard the rumors and scandal surrounding his mother.

Although he knew that his mother could be unreasonable sometimes, Li Mu Bai did not believe that the rumors reported was the truth. As her son, how could he not want to take his mother's side?

However, the rumors soon proved to be the truth. His grandfather had called him out and talked to him on this matter face-to-face. Even if he did not want to believe it, Li Mu Bai could not look away from the evidence.

His mother had done a lot of wrongs.

Li Mu Bai had a lot of words to say and a lot of questions he wanted to ask his mother, but at this time, he could only choose to keep everything to himself.
