"YOU! HOW COULD YOU BE THERE, HU? I TOLD YOU I DON'T WANT YOU, FUCKING CHILD! IF YOU WERE STILL IN MY HOUSE, I SWORN I'LL NEVER GO HOME!" snapped the voice on the other side.
"Okaa-san, give me one chance to understand you. I want to mend our relationship. So, please accept me!" Sifeng said quietly. The face that was originally cheerful, now turned into a gloomy one.
"NO NEED, THANK YOU! JUST GET OUT OF THIS WORLD! EVEN IF YOU DIE, I DON'T CARE!!"
beep ... beep ... beep ...
Phone calls are disconnected unilaterally.
"Okaa-san! Please forgive me for being born in this world!" Sifeng shouted. Sifeng really didn't expect that she hated Sifeng so much.
*Okaa-san = mother
Zhang Sifeng sat limply on the floor. His chest was so tight knowing this painful reality, that he was really not wanted by his biological mother. This reality hurts more than it was 11 months ago.
At first, Sifeng thought that his mother was only angry for a moment because he had taken Sifeng to China, but Sifeng didn't want to try to kill himself instead. But in reality, his mother didn't want Sifeng to be in this world at all.
"WHY?? WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME? AAKKHH!!" shouted Sifeng, frustrated.
Sifeng threw away the receiver and whatever was on the table, which was nearby.
"What happened to you??" A figure drew closer to Sifeng, who looked very disheveled.
Sifeng suddenly pulled the figure and hugged her. He didn't care who it was, Sifeng just needed someone to lean on right now. Even if it was one of the maids in this family, Sifeng didn't care. His eyelids filled with tears, so his vision was blurry.
Sifeng wept on the shoulder of the female figure, who he thought was one of the maids in this house. Aunt Minama is a kind maid. Sifeng even found the warmth of a mother figure in Aunt Minama. So, Sifeng wanted to pour out his whole heart at this time.
"What happened to you?" asked the figure again.
"Am I too despicable to be recognized as a child? My biological mother doesn't even want me around. What should I do after this?" Sifeng raved, without looking at who exactly he was embracing at this moment.
The female figure remained unmoved, she let Sifeng continue to cry on her shoulder. The female figure gently stroked Sifeng's head and back.
Ten minutes had passed, now Sifeng seemed to have calmed down a bit. Slowly, Sifeng released his embrace from the female figure in front of him.
However, how shocked Sifeng was when he saw that the figure was Nana, the girl who had been irritating Sifeng recently.
"You! Why are you always looking for opportunities to tease me, huh?" snapped Sifeng, who was still in a daze at the moment.
"Huh? Teasing me? Why should I do that, Master?! I was just passing by, but you grabbed me and hugged me all of a sudden. Actually, who's teasing whom, Master?" said Nana. A moment later, Nana got up and left Sifeng just like that.
Zhang Sifeng was silent for a moment. Sifeng began to remember that it was he who attracted the girl. Earlier, Sifeng's vision was blurry as his eyes filled with tears. After remembering his stupidity, Sifeng ruffled his hair roughly.
"Damn it! This is really embarrassing. I acted stupid twice in front of Nana. That girl caught me crying earlier. This is really embarrassing!" Sifeng grumbled. Sifeng really felt embarrassed at this time.
Zhang Yushen, who had just come into the room, walked closer to Sifeng. Yushen purposely surprised his sister, who was still sitting on the floor.
"WOY! WHY ARE YOU DAYDREAMING, A-FENG?!" Yushen shouted right in Sifeng's ear. He did intend to surprise his dreamy looking sister.
Indeed, Sifeng immediately jumped in surprise at Yushen's sudden presence. When Sifeng turned around, he saw his brother. Sifeng put on an annoyed face from the surprise earlier.
"Gege!! What are you doing, huh?!" snapped Sifeng, still looking annoyed. You see, Yushen had crushed Sifeng's daydreaming activities.
"Jesus! You made this mess, idiot?" Yushen shouted when he saw the mess on the floor. Yushen was certain that it was his younger brother, Zhang Sifeng, who had created the mess.
Zhang Yushen picked up the things that were scattered on the floor and put them all back in their original place.
"Gege, I want to go home right now," Sifeng said quietly. Sifeng's gaze turned sharp. He looked out the living room window. His teeth chattered as if he was holding back anger.
"Why come home so early, A-Feng? Your mother will be home tomorrow, right? You said you wanted to meet your mother?" Mr. Watanabe's voice walking from the direction of the other room. Mr. Watanabe was also in the living room right now.
Zhang Sifeng did not answer his biological grandfather's words. Sifeng's anger seemed to still be suppressed when he heard the word 'mother'.
Zhang Yushen, who deeply understood his sister's change in attitude, knew very well that the current Sifeng was not fine. Maybe something happened before this, which even Yushen didn't know. However, from the sad look on Sifeng's face right now, Yushen could tell that his sister's heart was hurting right now.
"There was a sudden call from the office, Grandpa." It was Yushen who instead answered Mr. Watanabe's question. Yushen tried to cover up grandfather's suspicion of Sifeng.
"Okay, my baeahan will take you to the airport," said Mr. Watanabe, friendly.
"No need, Grandpa." Yushen spoke.
Yushen tried to help Sifeng to stand up, and whispered in Sifeng's ear "Wake up, A-Feng! We will go home at your request! But, don't make grandpa feel worried!"
Mr. Watanabe noticed something strange in Sifeng. Sifeng looked so weak that he needed Yushen's help to stand up. Master Watanabe drew closer to Sifeng.
"What are you doing, Sifeng? Are you sick?" asked Mr. Watanabe, holding Sifeng's forehead. He thought that Sifeng might have a fever right now.
Sifeng still didn't respond. Sifeng still remained silent at this time. Sifeng's eyes looked blank. Sifeng's eyes turned red as if he was holding back anger. Sifeng's two hands remained clenched at the sides, ever since.
"I can handle this. So take it easy, Grandpa!" said Yushen, who was aware of Mr. Watanabe's concern.
Yushen carried Sifeng with great difficulty. The two of them left the grandfather who was actually very worried about his grandson's condition.
Yushen took Sifeng away from the residence.
Yushen was still supporting Sifeng's body with great difficulty. Sifeng's body was very weak as if unable to move. However, Sifeng's eyes were full of anger.
Yushen passed several guards who seemed to be asking, "What's wrong with young master?"
However, luckily Yushen had managed to convince Mr. Watanabe not to worry.
Mr. Watanabe also signaled to the guards not to hold back Yushen and Sifeng's steps.
When Yushen sensed that the two of them had drifted apart, Yushen put his bracelet back together with Sifeng's.
"I know you're not okay right now, A-Feng! So, let's go home now, little brother," Yushen muttered as he cast a spell to head to Beijing, China.
Zhang Sifeng did not answer Yushen's words. When he was in a quiet place, Sifeng's tears just fell.
And it was at this moment that Yushen realized that his sister had indeed experienced such a sad thing before.
***
-Beijing, China-
A call came from Madam Wang's cell phone.
"Hello!"
"How is my lady, Wang Jia Li?" The voice on the other end of the phone.
"You! Why contact me again, huh?" Mrs. Wang shouted at someone on the line.
"Relax, Honey! I just need money. The money you give every year, I don't think it's enough to meet my needs in this place," said someone from across the phone.
"I have no money! I will soon divorce Zhang Minghao. Don't ask me for money anymore!" said Mrs. Wang, curtly.
"If you don't send me the money soon, I'll go back to China and expose all your filth!" threatened the man from across the phone.
"Shut up, you bastard! Alright, I'll try to give you some money!!"
Mrs. Wang hung up the phone, then threw the phone against the wall.
"Why is that bastard always blackmailing me? Aaahhh!!" cried Mrs. Wang, frustrated.
Suddenly Wei Yilong's name was so disturbing Madam Wang's soul. The man who used to be her lover. The man who helped her get Mr. Zhang, and who killed Yushen's birth mother in Changbai. And the man who gave Madam Wang a pretty girl like Zhang Lian. Well, Wei Yilong is Lian's biological father, Yushen and Sifeng's sister.
But, suddenly earlier, the man from Madam Wang's past contacted Madam Wang again and asked for a lot of money. Madam Wang was already dizzy because she didn't manage to kill Mr. Zhang's children. Not to mention Madam Wang was sued for divorce by her husband
However, why would that man bother Madam Wang again?
Didn't Madam Wang always give the man money and tell him to stay away from China?
