When Yutong came home, he saw his parents sitting in the living room. The atmosphere didn't seem right. His father was fixedly watching some news and his mother was sitting next to him with her head down. " Dad, Mom, I'm home."
Yutong saw his mom quickly wiping her tears away. He hastily walked toward them and asked his mom with a worried look;" Mom, what happen? Why are you crying?"
Yinuo sneak a look at Yuxuan but hurriedly look away. She gave a weak smile to her son; " What are you talking about, you kid? A fly went inside my eye, no one is crying here."
She hurriedly diverted the conversation. " You must be hungry. I was just about to make dinner. Go, wash up and come for meal."
She bypassed him and hurried over to the kitchen.
Yuxuan saw all her dramatic performance and thought 'Does she still think she can control me through her son? It's better to dream.'. He didn't interrupt her and let her show her acting talent.
How can Yutong not see his mom unusual behaviour . He and his Mom had always been dependent on each other. Whether it's parents call or any other school activities, it was always his mom who attended.
As for his dad, he wasn't home most of the time. Even during weekends, he was always busy. The father-son time they had spent can be counted by ten fingers .
Infact, he was more close to his uncle and grandparents than to his father. He used to spend most of his weekends and holidays either in his grandparents house or them visiting his house.
So for him, his mom was the most important, then his uncle and grandparents. His father comes after them, that too only on the basis of blood relationship and the financial support provided by him.
But Yutong had completely turned a blind eye to the fact that Yuxuan was busy even on weekends as his mom had given away all their savings to his uncle. As a result Yuxuan had to dragged his tired body and worked overtime.
Yutong couldn't just ignore his mother's tears. " Mom! Please stop. You don't have to cover up for dad. Just tell me what happened. I will always stand by your side."
Yinuo was so touched by her son's words that tears started dripping down uncontrollably. But she doesn't want to disrupt their family harmony. It doesn't matter if she suffers few grievances for the family's happiness.
" My Son have grown up. He knows how to protect his mom. But you are really worrying for nothing. I was cutting onion before and was just asking your dad what he wants for dinner tonight. You kid, your head is full of drama."
Yuxuan was speechless over her change of word. Is she worried that others won't see through her pathetic excuse? Its outrageous.
As expected by Yuxuan, Yutong came to him.
" Dad! I know you must have said something harsh to mom again. Mom does all the house works. Since childhood, when you were out there enjoying with your friends, all the household affairs were managed by her. I hardly ever saw her putting down her hands and feet or buy a new dress for herself. She had dedicated all her life to you. Are you still not satisfied with her?"
Yuxuan stared at Yutong. His eyes were deep and gloomy. Even if Yutong was his biological son, Yuxuan would never recognised such a son who can't differentiate right from wrong. Yuxuan feel extremely worthless for his previous self who worked till his back became bend.
Yutong was frightened by his father's eyes. He had never seen such a look on his father. He didn't dare to continue with his accusation.
Yuxuan sneered at him;" Do you think I want to work even on weekends? Who was I working so hard for? Your mother used to give half of my salary to Yichen. Do you think you can study in such a good school with just half of my salary. Where did all your branded clothes come from? From your mother who was brainwashed by your grandparents to be brother supporting demon or is it your vampire uncle who takes away half my salary? "
Yutong was made speechless by his father. He knew about his mother funding his uncle. But since he never lacked anything, he never thought it was wrong. He weakly retorted "Mom and I used to spent all our weekends and holidays at their place. She is not wrong to give them some money for our foods and drinks"
Yuxuan smiled contemptuously " Do you think I'm blind as you? Forget about the money but the meat and other things you took to their house were enough for us to eat for a week. What about them, have you ever seen them bring even a piece of egg to our family over the years? "
Yuxuan wasn't done. " No wonder you are not close to me. Their black blood must have polluted your brain and heart. You are really a white eyed wolf who drinks my blood and eats my flesh and turned around to be greatful to someone else. I really regret wasting my best years for you and your mother."
Even if Yinuo sight was blocked by her son who was over 180 cm, she heard everything . She stood there frozen in fear. She thought if her son intervene, Yuxuan would forgive her like always. But the situation seems to have become worse. She had now seen clearly that Yuxuan wasn't planning on forgiving her. She doesn't know what else she could do to save her marriage.
Yutong was stupefied by his father's tongue-lashing . What was more frightening was that, he realised that his father's words were without falsehood.
He was blinded by the family affection. But now that he recall, the best thing he had ever received from his grandparents and uncle was some candy.
He tried hard to recall atleast something to justify them. Sadly all he can recall was a sweet but empty promises. Yutong felt the world spinning. He felt dizzy and couldn't stand straight.
Yuxuan was enjoying the collapsed expression of the mother and son when his phone received a text. After seeing the contents of the text, his mood became even better. Till now he was just stabbing them with his words but tomorrow is going to be the real deal.
Yuxuan turned to Yinuo and said; " Asked your parents and brother to come here tomorrow. "
Yuxuan saw her eyes full of madness and fear. He interrupted her "It's not about divorce. I have to talk to them about something else."
Yuxuan was worried that she would do something extreme, so he had to pacify her first. Atleast till tomorrow.
