Chapter 54: Ruthless
"Mom?"
From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Yun had no idea what his mother looked like. He only knew from his father that her name was Hao Meiyun.
He also learned from the villagers that his mother had abandoned him and his father less than two months after he was born, running off with a peddler.
Watching the other children in the village with their mothers, hearing the calls of women summoning their children home for dinner as the sun set behind the mountains... how many times had Xiao Yun secretly run to a hidden corner to cry, how many times had he shouted in his heart, "Mom, where are you? I really want to have a mom..."
He often heard others hum the song "The Taste of Mom," and he could only shed tears at their songs, never knowing what a mother's taste was like!
Now, a woman suddenly appeared before him, a middle-aged beautiful woman, claiming to be his mother!
Could he believe that she was his mother?
Xiao Yun never imagined that the phone number Wang Er had given him would belong to this woman standing in front of him.
Had Wang Er been in contact with this woman secretly all along?
Xiao Yun's spiritual sense hazily gazed at the woman before him. He took several steps back, shaking his head. "I... I don't have a mother..."
The middle-aged beautiful woman stumbled slightly, her body swaying as if she might fall. She barely steadied herself and took a few steps closer to Xiao Yun. "Yun'er, whether you believe it or not, I am your mother Hao Meiyun. I also know that your father named you Xiao Yun because it includes the character for 'cloud' from my name..."
"Shut up! I told you, I don't have a mother!" Hearing her mention his father made Xiao Yun furious, his eyes nearly sparking with anger.
Xiao Yun had already determined that the woman in front of him was his mother. No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity when he first met her, as if he had seen her in many dreams.
However, thinking about how he was abandoned at such a young age and his poor, sick father, he couldn't help but feel a burning anger inside. He reminded himself: she is a selfish woman; she... she doesn't deserve to be your mother...
Hao Meiyun was stunned by Xiao Yun's angry shout. She stared at the young man with wide eyes, and suddenly, she fell to her knees in front of Xiao Yun, choking back tears as she said, "Yun'er, I'm sorry for you and your father. Please forgive me just this once..."
"You..." Xiao Yun was taken aback to see Hao Meiyun kneeling before him, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
"Kid, after all, she is your biological mother. You can't let her kneel in front of you; otherwise, you might face divine retribution!" the little bell warned him telepathically from the ring.
Xiao Yun felt conflicted and asked the little bell telepathically, "What... what should I do?"
The little bell replied, "This... you decide for yourself. Just know that no matter what, she must have had feelings for your father when they were together. As for why she suddenly left you and her husband, there may have been unavoidable reasons."
Her words suddenly reminded Xiao Yun of what his father had said to him before passing away.
At that time, his father held Xiao Yun's hand and said, "Yun'er, what I want to tell you now is that your mother is a good person. If you ever meet her in the future, make sure to treat her well. Child, you must remember what your father said..."
She is a good person?
Why would a good person abandon her husband and her own son?
For many years, this was something Xiao Yun could never understand.
At that moment, some passersby on the street noticed a middle-aged beautiful woman kneeling in front of a young man at the entrance of Kwun Tong Community. The beautiful woman claimed to be the young man's mother while he glared at her angrily. People stopped and began to discuss among themselves: "What kind of world is this? A mother actually kneeling in front of her son..."
"You see this young man, he looks decent on the outside, but he's nothing but a beast in human clothing!"
"Who has a camera? Take a few pictures and post them online so everyone can condemn this shameless young man!"
"Yes, I have a camera..."
Clearly, the conversation of the bystanders was overheard by Hao Meiyun and Xiao Yun. Hao Meiyun suddenly jumped up from the ground, stretched out her arms to block Xiao Yun, and urgently said, "Don't... don't take pictures. My son is a good person, a good person..."
"Beautiful lady, your son doesn't want you, does he? Then come with me, and I'll take good care of you!" Suddenly, a group of strong men barged in from the side, and the leader of them had his shirt open, revealing a chest covered in dark hair. He leered at Hao Meiyun's ample bosom and reached out with his hand towards her.
Hao Meiyun's face was filled with panic as she kept backing away, stammering, "What... what do you want? My son is here; please... don't do anything reckless!"
The big man glanced at Xiao Yun disdainfully and laughed, "What does your son matter? As long as a woman catches my eye, no one can escape my grasp!"
As he spoke, just when Careless was about to reach further towards Hao Meiyun, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist. He looked sideways to see Xiao Yun staring at him coldly.
Careless felt his wrist tighten painfully, as if it might break. Damn it, where did this guy get such strength?
He looked at Xiao Yun in fear and instinctively pulled out a small knife from behind his waist, lunging it towards him.
With a snap, before the knife could reach Xiao Yun, his hand was crushed by Xiao Yun. With a swift kick that followed, Careless was sent flying six meters away and crashed to the ground.
Xiao Yun's wicked and cold gaze swept over the remaining strong men. They all froze in place, their faces changing color repeatedly as they fell silent.
"Hmph!" Xiao Yun snorted coldly and took a few steps forward to stand over Careless, who was struggling on the ground. He placed one foot on Careless's chest and said, "Dare to touch my family? You must be tired of living!"
The words "Dare to touch my family" fell into Hao Meiyun's ears, causing her heart to warm uncontrollably, and tears streamed down her face again: "Yun'er..."
"Sir, I... I, Careless, have eyes but fail to see. I deserve to die. Please spare me..." Xiao Yun stepped on him, making him feel suffocated as he cried out in despair.
Xiao Yun coldly said with an unhappy expression, "Sir? Open your eyes and take a good look. Am I that old?" As she spoke, she put more force into her foot.
Her foot ground against Careless's chest like a Rolling Stone.
Ah poof—Careless's face instantly turned purple, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His subordinates were stunned at the sight, their bodies trembling like chaff, cold sweat pouring out like water. They shuffled their feet on the ground but dared not escape.
What does it mean to be ruthless? Today they had their eyes opened!
"No, no, no, I called you wrong, big brother..." Careless coughed up blood while hurriedly changing his tone to plead.
He regretted it deeply, wishing he could slap himself. If he had known today would be so unlucky and troublesome, he should never have provoked this middle-aged Beautiful Woman.
"Pah!" Xiao Yun spat a thick phlegm onto Careless's face and said, "Someone like me, with good character and excellent temperament, a rare and handsome guy found once in a hundred years, would be your kind of garbage's big brother?"
Uh—rare and handsome found once in a hundred years? The onlookers clicked their tongues; wasn't that a bit shameless?
"Then... grandpa, no, little ancestor... hey, Hero..." Careless was momentarily confused and didn't know how to address Xiao Yun anymore.
More and more people gathered on the street to watch the commotion. Hao Meiyun saw that if this continued, it would ultimately have a bad influence. She walked over and grabbed one of Xiao Yun's hands and said, "Yun'er, let him go..."
Xiao Yun angrily moved his foot away from Careless.
"Come with me!" Hao Meiyun pulled Xiao Yun into the car and started the engine.
Xiao Yun suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream and shouted, "Where are you taking me?"
Hao Meiyun replied, "I'm taking you home!"
Home? Xiao Yun smiled bitterly; in his memory, he had no home since his father left this world.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Hao, but I have no home!" Xiao Yun's face returned to its earlier indifference. "Please let me out of the car!"
Hao Meiyun furrowed her brows, feeling a pang in her heart. She realized that although Xiao Yun had just helped her and acknowledged her as a mother, he still harbored deep rejection towards her.
"Kid, you should go home with her and take a look!" Little Bell couldn't help but advise him.
Xiao Yun replied in thought, "No way, I really can't accept her!"
Hao Meiyun stopped the car and asked Xiao Yun, almost in tears, "What do you want me to do?"
Xiao Yun coldly said, "Unless you give me a good reason why you abandoned Dad and me to run off with another man!"
