Chapter 191 The Mother of Char Siu Man 2 (17)
Xia Mingwei then ordered the housekeeper, "Didn't you hear this person say he wants to sever his mother-son relationship with me? Get him out of this house now!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yefan immediately panicked. He wanted his mother to send the child of unknown origin away, but he hadn't said he wanted to sever his relationship with his mother!
Cutting ties with him and kicking him out of the house—given his mother's current personality, this isn't impossible!
Luo Yefan took a deep breath. "Mom, I didn't say I wanted to sever our mother-son relationship!"
"Weren't you just forcing me to make a choice with what you just said? Now that I've made a choice, you're denying it!"
"Then you can't abandon me! I'm your only child!"
Luo Yefan met Xia Mingwei's sharp gaze, his voice growing softer and softer. Anyone could clearly sense the weakness in his tone.
"It's okay, you won't be like that soon!"
Xia Mingwei's tone revealed a hint of teasing as she spoke, and she patted Luo Yefan on the shoulder.
Luo Yefan was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say to refute Xia Mingwei's words.
He racked his brains and thought for a long time before finally finding a somewhat plausible reason in his mind.
"But Mom, didn't you promise me you'd always be there for me?"
Xia Mingwei chuckled and covered her mouth. "Then tell me, when did I agree to that?"
"It was right after my dad passed away! Didn't you promise me that? Does that not count anymore?"
Xia Mingwei never expected him to be so shameless, wanting to continue using the promises the original owner had made to bind her.
Thinking of this, Xia Mingwei immediately composed herself, "Of course I haven't forgotten!"
“But you were only six years old then, so of course I had no problem staying with you! The problem is, you’re in your mid-twenties now and you’re married. Do you expect me to stay with you forever?”
"Don't tell me you want to become one of those legendary mama's boys."
"But, but..."
Xia Mingwei waved her hand dismissively, "There's no 'but' about it! You're married now, and you might have a child soon. It's time for me to let go completely and live a more comfortable life!"
Luo Yefan wanted to refute Xia Mingwei's words, but he knew that once he told his mother about his contract marriage with Shu Qing, he would become a complete joke.
He already has enough jokes; he doesn't want to add another one!
Is he really going to just stand by and watch an unknown little girl become his sister and take away his share of the inheritance?
No, he can't do it! Not even a small part!
Thinking of this, Luo Yefan spoke again, "If you want me to accept her, you have to tell me about her background!"
This time, he toned down his sharp edge and his tone became much calmer.
Xiao Ba's identity in this world is completely legal, so Xia Mingwei has no qualms about it and is not afraid of him investigating.
"She is your Uncle He's daughter!"
Luo Yefan lowered his head and pondered, trying to find any clues about this "Uncle He" in his memory.
"Our next-door neighbor back in our hometown—Uncle He."
Xia Mingwei's mention reminded Luo Yefan of something.
Back when his father was alive, this Uncle He was always hanging around his mother. After his father passed away, Uncle He even pursued his mother for a while. He was already in his late twenties and still unmarried! He'd heard from the gossipy women in the village that Uncle He was waiting for his mother!
After his father passed away, Luo Yefan lived in fear for a while. He was terrified that his mother would remarry and abandon him!
He had overheard that Uncle He was going to ask a matchmaker to propose to his mother, so he devised a plan.
As expected, his mother loved him dearly and immediately promised not to remarry, rejecting the matchmaker who came to propose marriage.
Seeing no hope at all, Uncle He was heartbroken and, after two years, chose to leave his hometown to work in another place!
His mother also started a business, and gradually he forgot about this person!
Now that Xia Mingwei has mentioned this person again, Luo Yefan is furious and immediately questions Xia Mingwei: "Mom, how can you do this to Dad?"
Xia Mingwei's face turned completely cold. "Are you saying I've wronged your father?"
"Let me tell you today, the person I've been most worthy of in this world is your father! If he knew that I, a mere woman, had provided you with such a comfortable life through my own efforts, he'd probably come to me in his dreams and kowtow to me a few times before he left!"
"Besides, he's been gone for so long. Does that mean I have to live my whole life only for him?"
Xia Mingwei's words struck a chord with the original owner of the body. In that instant, Xia Mingwei felt an overwhelming sense of joy.
"Then you can't remarry Uncle He!"
Luo Yefan knew his words were unconvincing, but he still forced out those words.
Xia Mingwei waved her hand dismissively, "Who said I was going to be with him? He's just like your short-lived father, he died young! It's just a pity for his daughter, she has to make a living in this world all by herself!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ba also shed a tear.
"And what about her mother?"
Luo Yefan persisted, asking the question relentlessly.
Hearing this, Xiao Ba remained silent, burying his head even lower.
"You have to bring up other people's painful memories, don't you? She's so young, and you're going to keep reminding her of the fact that she lost her parents? Luo Yefan, where has your upbringing gone? What you did today has really disappointed me!"
"I used to think you were just immature, but now it seems your heart is utterly wicked!"
Upon hearing Xia Mingwei's accusation, Luo Yefan opened his mouth. He wanted to say something to refute Xia Mingwei's words, but found that he couldn't say anything.
He clenched his fists, never expecting that damned guy surnamed He to be so troublesome.
Not only did she cause him trouble while he was alive, but she also dragged him down with her money after he died! If he were still alive, would his mother have needed to adopt this orphaned little girl?
Now his mother has gained a daughter for free, which is not as simple as him just having another younger sister.
He was stubborn and insisted on marrying Shu Qing, which resulted in so many laughable incidents at the wedding, and the whole high society knew about it.
Now, it won't be easy for him to smoothly enter the company and take over his mother's entire business!
Even though this little girl is still just a child, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
