From as long as he could remember, he was a child without a father.
He was not bothered at first by the absence of a father figure. His father only existed in his mind. His mother, on the other hand, was very much real and had been by his side, loving and indulging him.
Children were sensitive, so even if the memories were hazy, they could still subconsciously feel their parents' love for them.
Growing up in a single-parent household, he inadvertently invited gossips. His mother had him when she was still studying, and news of her illegitimate child somehow spread through school like wildfire.
Many took this chance to slander her. The girls in school, who were jealous of her, ganged up on her and petitioned for her dismissal.
His mother was suspended from school for half a year because of this.
After much persuasion by Yun Yecheng, the principal unwillingly agreed to let her stay, but she lost the chance to further her studies.
