A Letter from Qian Ren Shang, "Mom, I'm leaving and not coming back!"

A Letter from Qian Ren Shang

"Mom... I'm leaving. I'm not coming back!"

"What did you just say?"

Bibi Dong's chilling voice suddenly rang out. Qian Ren Xue was so frightened that she nearly cried. It was the first time she had seen such a terrifying look in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath and barely forced herself to calm down. That sense of unease only grew stronger.

"Go... look for him. See where your brother went."

"Okay..."

With a miserable expression, Qian Ren Xue immediately jogged out. She searched everywhere, but still found nothing. Not only that, she had the maids help look for Qian Ren Shang as well.

When the maids learned that Qian Ren Shang was missing, they panicked too. After all, they were responsible for taking care of Bibi Dong and the two children.

Now that Qian Ren Shang had disappeared, they would be punished as well!

The entire bedchamber was in chaos.

But Bibi Dong's heart was in even greater turmoil. She stared at the cake on the table, her mind lost in thought.

With a blank expression, Bibi Dong walked over to the small bed where Qian Ren Shang slept. The moment she sat down, the hard surface jabbed her so badly that she sprang back to her feet.

"How can anyone sleep on a bed like this?"

Bibi Dong could not help but curse. She had thought she was merely giving Qian Ren Shang a small punishment. She had hardly ever stepped into this room before.

Now that she had entered for the first time and taken a closer look, she realized just how awful the environment was!

Thinking of how Qian Xun Ji was about to die and how her great revenge would soon be fulfilled, Bibi Dong found herself becoming far more accepting of the two children.

Perhaps she really should change her attitude...

"When Qian Ren Shang comes back... I should see to it that he gets a better place to live."

Bibi Dong muttered to herself, feeling that she was being quite generous. At that moment, something suddenly caught the corner of her eye.

There seemed to be something beneath Qian Ren Shang's pillow.

Frowning, she reached over and felt around. To her surprise, she pulled out a letter, with the words written on it:

Left by Qian Ren Shang, a naughty child!

"A letter? Qian Ren Shang wrote this?"

Bibi Dong's heart suddenly began to panic. She hurriedly took out the letter, held it in her hands, and began reading.

The page was filled with densely packed words. The handwriting was childish, and it was obvious that writing it had taken effort. There were even quite a few corrections!

There also seemed to be a crumpled patch on the paper, like tear stains!

"Mom, by the time you read this letter, I should already be gone."

That first sentence made Bibi Dong freeze on the spot.

"Qian Ren Shang left?"

Stunned, Bibi Dong continued reading.

"Mom... please allow me to call you that one last time here."

"My birth three years ago seemed to have been a mistake. I know you don't like Dad, and I inherited Dad's bloodline, so you don't like me either. Actually, I've always known."

"But... I love you very much, because you are my mom. You were the one who brought me into this world once again!"

The first half of the letter was filled with Qian Ren Shang expressing his feelings for Bibi Dong. Toward his birth mother... he had longed deeply for Bibi Dong's maternal love.

Bibi Dong fell silent as she read those words.

"For three years, I tried everything I could do. I wanted to lie in your arms and act spoiled like my sister. I wanted to play like an ordinary child... to eat with my mother. How I wished I could be an ordinary child."

"But I can't... Mom, I'm really tired!"

"I think... my existence itself is a mistake, so I've decided to leave. My departure should lessen a lot of your troubles."

"Mom... this is the last time I'll call you that. Goodbye!"

"Please tell my sister too... the little brother she hates will never come back."

The later words were filled with Qian Ren Shang's despair toward Bibi Dong and Qian Ren Xue. He was tired, so he chose to withdraw.

After reading the entire letter, Bibi Dong suddenly felt numb.

Qian Ren Shang had left? That child had actually left... of his own accord.

Bibi Dong had thought countless times about how to make Qian Ren Shang disappear, because he possessed the Qian Family Bloodline and was the future heir of the Qian Family.

That was why Bibi Dong loathed Qian Ren Shang's existence so deeply. Since she could not kill him, she treated him coldly. She had even encouraged Qian Ren Xue to target him... never letting him have a single peaceful day.

She had thought so many times about how to make Qian Ren Shang disappear, yet now that he had truly vanished, Bibi Dong suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if a large part of it had been torn away.

"Mom... Mom!"

"Mom... you're so beautiful!"

"Mom... can I hug you?"

"Mom... I want a hug too (づ￣￣)づ!"

"Mom... it's time to eat!"

"Mom... don't cry!"

Bibi Dong seemed to see a skinny little boy waving at her, his face full of innocent smiles, just as it had always been from childhood until now.

His face had always been full of life. No matter how she treated him, he always smiled!

"Mom... Xiao Shang is leaving. I'm not coming back!"

In the end, Bibi Dong even saw Qian Ren Shang wave at her before resolutely turning and leaving, his expression filled with determination.

Bibi Dong instinctively reached out to grab him!

But she grasped nothing but air!

There was no longer an adorable little boy before her, trailing behind her and calling, "Mom, Mom."

"How could you just leave like that? How could you!!!"

Bibi Dong suddenly cried out shrilly, "You're my child... no matter how I treated you, you were supposed to take it... What right did you have to leave!!!"

"How dare you!!"

Bibi Dong did not know what she was suddenly thinking. She could only express her emotions through anger.

Bibi Dong suddenly burst into crazed laughter before starting to curse again.

"No... it's good that you left. You should have left!! You carry that beast's blood, the future heir of the Qian Family, and you even have that same hateful smiling face as him!"

"Good riddance!!"

"I did nothing wrong... I can't possibly regret it. This was never my fault—it was this world's fault!!! It was that beast's fault!!!"

Bibi Dong was already speaking without restraint, the color of her pretty face constantly shifting.

Some worries truly only turned into regret after something had been lost.

Qian Ren Shang was, after all, her own flesh and blood. Bibi Dong did have a heart too—or at least, she believed she did. So when Qian Ren Shang's every word struck deep, Bibi Dong's heart fell into turmoil!

At that moment, Qian Ren Xue was outside ordering the servants to search for Qian Ren Shang, then she ran back in with a clear conscience.

"Mom... that guy Qian Ren Shang must be hiding somewhere. All he does is cause trouble. How could Mom possibly like a child who loves causing trouble!"

"Once they find him, I suggest you just beat him up, Mom. Let's see if he still dares to do it again!"

Qian Ren Xue looked at Bibi Dong with a flattering expression, smugly thinking she was currying favor with her.

But the next moment!

Slap!

A crisp slap rang out instantly!

"Shut up!"

Bibi Dong shouted sharply!
