Qi Meiyu was also overcome with sadness.
She covered her face and wept low, "It’s mom who has wronged you, Ziqi, Jingyuan, you’ve suffered." Read full story at NoveIＦire.net
Bao Jingyuan quickly hugged her to comfort her.
She said, "Not at all, not at all, my second brother and I are doing well."
Bao Ziqi’s Adam’s apple moved.
He had a very introverted nature and never used to be close with his mother.
But she had, after all, turned herself in for his sake.
He held Qi Meiyu’s hand and softly said, "Everything at home is good."
Hearing this, Qi Meiyu cried even harder.
She kept nodding her head, "As long as everything’s good, that’s all that matters."
This included Bao Mingyuan.
She was too ashamed to see him and had no way to learn news of him over these years.
Mother and child are connected by heart; Ziqi knew what she was thinking.
Once her emotions had stabilized, she had time to properly look at her children.
Bao Jingyuan hadn’t seen her for a long time and babbled away.
She said, "These past few years, we and Ruanruan lived in Britain, and only returned two months ago! Ruanruan and big brother are still together; Ruanruan said big brother bought a big villa in City B, just as big as our house. Me, second brother, and Gui Zhi all are going to move in. Oh, and big brother also has a kid now."
Qi Meiyu was dumbfounded.
Bao Ziqi softly said, "It’s big brother and Ruanruan’s child."
Bao Jingyuan jumped up, "Ruanruan’s child?"
Bao Ziqi looked at her with disdain.
He told Qi Meiyu, "They are doing well, it’s just that the Sun Family hasn’t agreed yet."
Qi Meiyu’s lips trembled.
Bao Jingyuan recovered from the shock.
She hugged Qi Meiyu and whispered, "Mom, don’t be sad! They are together after all. Dad has left the Bao Family under Ruanruan’s charge. This morning, Ruanruan gave me a lot of jewelry, same as what Jingse got! Dad also said that in the future, Di Jing would also belong to me and second brother! I know Ruanruan asked for this favor."
Qi Meiyu silently shed tears.
She was filled with shame, "After I treated her so harshly in the past, she could still..."
Bao Jingyuan was also saddened.
She said, "Ruanruan is very good, truly very good."
After thinking, she dared to say, "Mom, after you get out, second brother and I will buy you a house to live in, Ruanruan and dad won’t oppose it."
Qi Meiyu nodded vigorously.
Her son Ziqi could walk slowly now, and Jingyuan had also become sensible.
What more could she ask for?
The better Su Ruanruan became, the less Qi Meiyu could return.
She couldn’t hinder that child’s future, and also Mingyuan.
Without her, Mingyuan could also find another good woman to spend his life with.
Qi Meiyu made up her mind.
That night, she took her own life in prison.
When the news reached the Bao Family, it was already deep into the night.
It was Bao Mingyuan who answered the call.
He held the phone, silent for a long time.
The person on the other end spoke a few more words softly, and he finally responded in a hoarse voice, "I see."
He put down the phone.
He sat alone in the bedroom for a long time.
He hated her for causing Weilian’s death, and for committing so many misdeeds.
But after all, she was the woman who had given birth to his children; if not for love then out of respect.
Bao Mingyuan woke his children.
Bao Ziqi was shocked.
Bao Jingyuan cried uncontrollably, "How could she? She was just fine today."
Bao Mingyuan’s mind was clear as a mirror.
It was precisely because the children were doing well that Qi Meiyu could leave without worries.
He said nothing, then took his children to City C to handle the arrangements.
The body was cremated there, and the ashes were brought back.
Bao Ziqi purchased a burial plot with good feng shui for her.
From start to finish, it took less than a day.
At dusk, by the grave.
Bao Mingyuan patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Ziqi, don’t blame me."
Bao Ziqi shook his head.
He said, "This is the best resting place for mom."
With her kind of identity, an elaborate funeral might have caused more trouble than we can imagine.
Bao Mingyuan then gently embraced his younger daughter.
Bao Jingyuan cried hard in his arms.
From now on, she no longer had a mother.
Bao Mingyuan softly comforted her, "Jingyuan, you still have dad, big brother, second brother, and Ruanruan."
With Ruanruan there, the Bao Family would not fall apart.
