Mong Si With their back turned to them, they could only see one-tenth of his face. There was no expression on his face, and the closer the Zhu Family parents got to him, the more nervous they became. Song Lan stepped forward and supported Zhu's mother's arm, "Mom, did you not rest well?"
In recent days, when Zhu's mother went to the hospital, Song Lan noticed that she had lost a lot of weight. With makeup, her thinness wasn't as noticeable. Today, because she had to leave in a hurry, Zhu's mother only put on a bit of makeup and casually grabbed a black top to wear with beige pants, topped off with a black coat. The dark clothing accentuated her slender figure even more. Being close to her, Song Lan could clearly see the dark circles under her eyes and her waxy, pale complexion.
"I've been having some insomnia lately, but your dad has already helped me get some medicine, and it's working well. Don't worry about it."
Zhu's mother always shares good news and not the bad; she didn't want Mong Si to hear these words and feel that she was playing the victim.
Seeing her lower her voice, clearly unwilling to say more, Song Lan didn't ask further.
Zhu's mother looked at Zhu Junjie, but he didn't respond to her at all. She felt a pang of sadness. Song Lan comforted her, "Mom, he does care about you. He's just feeling a bit awkward, but he'll be fine in a while."
"Um."
During this period, Zhu Junjie has always had the same expression. After Zhu's mother gave him a meaningful look, she came to Mong Si's side.
She looked at him with some excitement, wanting to reach out and touch him, but also afraid of provoking his aversion. "Child..."
"Go to the private room."
Mong Si felt agitated as soon as he heard Zhu's mother's gentle yet guilty voice. Without waiting for Zhu's mother to finish, he quickly got up and headed towards the private room upstairs.
Zhu Junjie saw the situation and also got up.
Mong Si didn't look back, "I'm going to talk to them, you guys don't need to follow."
"You..."
Song Lan shook his head lightly at Zhu Junjie. Mong Si's attitude towards Zhu Junqiao and Tong Tong was relatively good, indicating that he had feelings for the Zhu Family. He would not harm the Zhu Family's parents, but verbal attacks were likely unavoidable.
"You don't need to worry. We'll go talk to him for a while. With me around, nothing will happen."
Zhu's father saw Zhu Junjie looking worried, so he turned back and said, "Zhu Junjie" wanted to say that he was no longer worried about them. But because he had been so anxious just now, saying that he wasn't worried now felt like making things worse.
He didn't speak and sat in his original place.
"Dad, Mom, we're waiting for you downstairs."
If there's something, they call out, and they can hear it.
Mong Si heard the implied meaning in Song Lan's words, he snorted lightly and ignored the few people going upstairs.
Seeing him like this, the Zhu Family parents didn't hesitate to follow him to the private room.
Since the Zhu Family parents appeared in the café, Zhu Junjie's expression became even more unpleasant.
He saw his parents leave with Mong Si, and felt a sense of being abandoned. He wanted to tell himself that even if he was abandoned, at his age, he could live well without relying on anyone. Song Lan saw that he didn't look good and called the waiter to order a glass of lemonade for him.
"Drinking too much coffee is not good."
Song Lan pushed the lemonade in front of Zhu Junjie.
"I don't drink this."
Zhu Junjie is a straight man, and in his view, lemonade is sweet and sour, something that girls drink. He feels that if a big man like him drinks this, he would be laughed at.
Song Lan smiled and said, "Why don't you give it a try? If you don't like it, I can finish the rest. I promise it won't go to waste."
Zhu Junjie hesitated for a moment, still not reaching out. He looked up at the location of the private room.
Song Lan: "Are you worried about your parents?"
"The person inside the private room is their beloved son. They are happy to be with him! What do I have to worry about?"
Zhu Junjie was stubborn, Song Lan smiled and mentioned Tong Tong.
When Tong Tong was mentioned, Zhu Junjie's expression softened a lot.
At this time, in the upstairs private room.
Zhu's mother was greedily scrutinizing the person in front of her who looked exactly like Zhu Junjie. Mong Si felt uncomfortable because of her gaze, so he repeated his words again. Zhu's mother slowly digested Mong Si's words, and her expression changed immediately. Zhu's father had already reviewed Mong Si's information and had some understanding of his situation.
He is now worried about Zhu's mother's situation. Just as Zhu's mother was immersed in the joy of seeing Mong Si, he had a brief exchange of eye contact with Mong Si. Mong Si's response to Zhu's father was to restate the words just spoken.
Mong Si's voice was calm, as if he were talking about someone else's affairs, and even about something quite trivial. Zhu's mother had always been law-abiding throughout her life, so she was taken aback to learn that Mong Si was wanted. Her face paled a little. "You... why are you wanted? What did you do?"
"They didn't tell you, I..."
"It's just a small matter," Zhu's father interrupted Mong Si, worried that Zhu's mother couldn't handle it, as he saw her getting agitated.
"A small matter?" Mong Si snorted, "Is it only a small matter because it happened to me?"
Mong Si is aggressive in his words, and Zhu's father is stared at by his sinister eyes. His face, with wrinkles crawling up, becomes more serious. "We do feel sorry for you, but we are not the ones who started this, nor do we want to abandon you."
They feel guilty towards Mong Si and want to make amends, but Mong Si blames them for everything, which is unfair and unreasonable.
"You say it's not intentional abandonment, so it's not intentional? Who will compensate me for the suffering I've endured? Each of you sees yourselves as innocent, but what about me?"
Mong Si has a bad attitude.
Zhu's father If he continues to argue with him, he might turn hostile.
Zhu's father didn't explain himself further.
Zhu's mother heard something fishy from the conversation between the two. She couldn't get much out of Mong Si, so she had to ask Zhu's father, "What's the matter? Are you hiding something from me?"
Zhu's mother sounded urgent, she desperately wanted to know what Mong Si had done to end up on the wanted list.
Zhu's father was about to lie to appease Zhu's mother, but Mong Si didn't give him the chance, "Nothing that happens to me is ever trivial. Which one do you want to hear about?"
"Don't... Mong Si..." Zhu's father tried to stop.
Mong Si chuckled, "Aren't you my parents? Why, don't you want to know what I've been through after you abandoned me?"
"I want to know! As long as you are willing to tell me, I am willing to listen!"
Zhu's mother These days, when staying at home, I always have random thoughts. Whenever I close my eyes, the scene of Mong Si being taken away and crying non-stop comes to mind.
The sound of the baby's crying, like a barb, penetrates her flesh and bones, pulling outwards, connecting with the bones and tendons, causing her eyes to turn red and tears to roll down from time to time.
Zhu's mother sounded urgent.
Zhu's father shook his head slightly at Mong Si.
Zhu's mother is Mong Si's mother. In her view, it was her concealment of the pregnancy with twin that led to Mong Si being switched, and she feels extremely guilty about it. If Mong Si were to tell her about his experiences over the years, Zhu's mother wouldn't be able to handle it.
Then she won't be like she has been recently, unable to eat or sleep, her condition will only get worse.
