When I got home, I specifically went to the school and gave a gift to Song Kezhi.

It was a souvenir I randomly bought when I was in my brother's city.

Then, I thanked Song Kezhi.

Song Kezhi accepted the gift, smiling and said, "It seems like you have come back after letting go."

I shrugged and smiled, "More or less."

Whether I have let go or not is not that important now.

On the way back, I suddenly received a message from an unknown number.

Upon opening it, I realized it was from Song Kezhi.

He thanked me for the gift and said he would also give me a New Year's gift. I couldn't help but smile as I read his message.

Suddenly, as if I had discovered something, I carefully looked at Song Kezhi's number.

It looked very familiar.

I dug out the number I had previously written down for when my mom called, and indeed, it was exactly the same.

Song Kezhi knows my mom, and maybe their relationship is not simple.

My heart sank in an instant.

When I got home, I went straight to my mom and asked about this matter.

My mom was quite calm, "Yes, I know Song Kezhi. He is Chen Guoxing's son."

I widened my eyes in disbelief.

My mom lit a cigarette and continued, "I was thirty years old at that time and met Song Kezhi, who was nine years younger than me. That was the first time I knew what love was. We both had feelings for each other and talked a lot."

"Later, he told me that his mother committed suicide when he was young because his father had another woman who drove his mother to her death. He had to live with his grandmother and changed his surname to his mother's surname, Song."

"I initially approached Chen Guoxing because I loved Song Kezhi too much. I wanted to avenge him and make Chen Xinxin and her daughter suffer, but later, I found out that Mr. Chen was a very charming man, and I fell in love with him, hopelessly in love, so I broke up with Song Kezhi."

I was stunned.

It turns out that everything from back then had clues.

Then, what am I?

I looked at my mom, "Song Kezhi approaching me must have his own motives. This is your doing, why involve me?"

My mom fell silent for a moment and then said, "If you want to change schools, I will help you."

"But you are already grown up, there are many things you need to understand. Song Kezhi has had seeds of hatred planted in his heart since he was young. He is an extreme person. Don't have any thoughts about him."

I laughed. At this point, my mom was still worried that I might end up with her former lover.

But she didn't consider what Song Kezhi's intentions were in approaching me.

It turns out, I really have no one to rely on.

That night, Chen Guoxing didn't come back.

My mom made phone calls all night, and in the early hours of the morning around four or five, Chen Guoxing came back reeking of alcohol mixed with a woman's perfume.

I heard my mom questioning him downstairs about his overnight absence and where he had been. Chen Guoxing gave a few perfunctory replies, and they started to argue.

Unable to bear it, Chen Guoxing angrily said, "Do you have the right to ask me where I want to go? Figure out your own identity."

My mom cried.

Chen Guoxing cursed "bad luck" and left.

My mom cried until noon, and no one dared to approach her.

Even the servants in the house seemed to think this was a common scene.

I prepared a basin of warm water and went to wash my mom's face.

I hoped she would leave the Chen family and not waste any more time.

Before I could speak, my mom looked at me and sobbed, "I really love him. Why is Mr. Chen treating me like this? Does he have someone else outside?"

I remained silent, unable to say a word.

In the past, she saw Song Kezhi as redemption, willing to give up everything for Song Kezhi's hatred.

Now, she sees Chen Guoxing as redemption, clearly betrayed, yet still fantasizing that this is true love.

I watched her cry until she fainted, but I felt no trace of pity.
