It was like a heart suddenly fell from a great height to the ground, and with a thud, he saw his newfound hope ruthlessly shattered again.
Yes, she has the duty of a daughter, and he too is someone’s son. When it comes to company matters, if she wants it, he can give it to her. But that old man, and his mother, can he really watch her take revenge and die at her hands?
Ou Mucen felt despair once more...
"Ou Mucen, many times, we are not in control. As a daughter, I cannot stand idly by while my parents are brutally murdered by your father. Similarly, you cannot live in peace with a woman who killed your parents and destroyed your home. Ou Mucen, we have no choice, so let’s let go!"
As Ye Ning said the final word, her voice had become very coarse.
Ou Mucen shuddered fiercely too, as if suddenly all the light in front of him disappeared. He stared at her, stared into her dark eyes, and could no longer see anything within them.
She was saying they had no choice...
Indeed, neither of them had any choice. When the grudges of the previous generation occurred, how old were they? How could they have known that fate would play such a cruel joke on them?
Ou Mucen watched as she sat up from beside him, got out of bed, and suddenly, the space beside him felt empty, just like the empty space in his heart, leaving him so pained he could hardly breathe.
"What about the child? What about our child?"
Ye Ning noticed a set of brand-new clothes on the round table not far away, and picked it up: "The child is yours, take good care of him from now on. If..."
Ou Mucen was still lying on the bed, and when he saw her pause, he thought there might be hope, so he sat up from the bed again.
However, he didn’t expect that when he sat up, he would hear her say: "If... you get married in the future, you can return him to me."
Upon hearing this, Ou Mucen’s face immediately turned ashen: "Why should I return him to you? He’s my son!"
"Then take good care of him, don’t let him suffer any grievances." She lowered her head, initially wanting to put on the dress, but as she bowed her head, a tear rolled down again.
Indeed, in the world of wealth, she had seen many news reports saying marriages are all about alliances of interests. If he married into a prestigious family, then Xiaobao would become a stepchild. What if that woman bullied him?
Thinking of this, Ye Ning’s tears fell more fiercely...
Ou Mucen sat on the bed watching, his eyebrows furrowed, and finally, he got up too: "If you don’t want him to be wronged, then fulfill your duty as his mother properly. He’s been in kindergarten for so long without even knowing what his mother looks like. Do you think you’re doing your job well?"
No, the tone seems off. Weren’t they just discussing which side the child should belong to when they can’t be together? Why did he suddenly start accusing her of not fulfilling her duty as a mother?
