In the teahouse.
Li An’an was ushered to her seat by Butler Chu. This was a very ordinary teahouse. There weren’t many people and it was very quiet.
A woman in a white dress suit was sitting elegantly at the table. She had pretty features, wavy hair and a generous look about her. An expensive diamond necklace decorated her neck. She looked very young and dignified.
Li An’an knew that this woman must be Chu Yichen’s mother. Their eyes were similar.
Seeing that Li An’an had arrived, Bai Dong put down her phone and sized the younger woman up. Unlike what she had imagined, Li An’an didn’t look like the sort of woman who liked to be flattered by others, she looked very calm and polite.
“What would you like to drink? The Pu’er tea here is not bad, I just had some. Would you like a cup?”
“That’s alright. I’ll just have green tea.” Bai Dong signaled for the waiter to serve another cup of green tea.
Soon, the tea arrived. Li An’an took a sip and waited for Chu Yichen’s mother to speak first.
“My surname is Bai. I’m Yichen’s mother. Yichen’s father and I went through a lot to be together, so we value Yichen very much. He’s the crystallization of our love. For his sake, we didn’t have a second child. We wanted to give all our love to him. We wanted him to be a loving, responsible, kind, and capable child. Although there was a deviation later, he is still our pride.”
Li An’an could feel the love Chu Yichen’s mother had for him. Although the man was anything but loving and kind, his parents loved him nevertheless.
Bai Dong paused for a moment before saying, “I wish to give him everything that’s perfect, you know what I mean?”
Li An’an nodded in understanding. She too wanted to give her three babies nothing but the best. As a mother, her thoughts were the same.
“Well, I know, because I think the same as you:”
Bai Dong shook his head. “You don’t understand. You and he are from two different worlds. You can’t be together. I admit that I was too strict with my son in the past, slowing him down when it came to relationships. It worried me so much that I even thought that as long as he was willing to get married, I could accept any woman. But later on, you appeared and it made me change my mind. I cannot agree to the two of you being together.”
Li An’an knew that this would be the result, but this was something she had realized long ago.
“I know you want to say that you only want to be with my son and have never thought of marrying into the Chu family, but I don’t believe you. Previously, you were prepared to sell the opportunity to stay by his side for 200,000 yuan. Later, it was found out that your father was a murderer. Forgive me for being blunt, but I’m worried that you have ill intentions towards my son.” Bai Dong was very restrained and polite from the onset, but she didn’t give Li An’an any illusions.
Li An’an lowered her head and continued to drink her tea. She didn’t know what she could say to convince the woman that the issue didn’t lie with her, it was Chu Yichen who had forced her to stay by his side. Bai Dong probably wouldn’t believe her if she said that.
“You’re very beautiful. You can find a good man if you leave my son, but if you insist on staying by his side, you will only waste your youth. I don’t need to tell you how precious a woman’s youth is, right?”
Li An’an nodded. “I know, it’s just that…”
“Just that what? If you want compensation…” Bai Dong looked straight into Li An’an’s eyes.
Li An’an smiled bitterly. Was she going to give her money again? She really wanted money so that the babies could live a better life. But she could not take this sort of money. Chu Yichen knew that he would be the first to rip her apart.
“I’m afraid I can’t give it to you. It’s not that I care about money. It’s an insult to my son.” Bai Dong took a sip of tea elegantly. She would never do anything to hurt her son..
