"Auntie, why are you so nice to me?" Xu Yi asked.
Su Xin took a deep breath. "The truth is, I'm selfish. Everything I've done was just to resolve a knot in my heart."
"What knot?" Xu Yi asked, pretending not to know.
Zheng Qian pricked up his ears and listened carefully. This was the key to his mom's obsession.
"When the disease first broke out, I was among the first people infected. Your mother sacrificed herself to save me. I've lived with the guilt ever since.
"Although I've donated money again and again to the hospital where your mother used to work, it hasn't eased my guilt at all."
Xu Yi was close to tears.
Why don't you donate to me? What's the point of donating to the hospital?
This is how you resolve a knot in your heart... right?
Zheng Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
So she was just repaying a debt of gratitude. He'd thought Xu Yi had really bewitched her.
Choosing a man over her own son.
He'd scared himself for nothing.
Su Xin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and composed herself.
"Go ahead. Give my son a good beating and blow off some steam."
"Wouldn't that be wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. My son's tough."
Zheng Qian's expression froze.
You're sacrificing your son to repay a debt of gratitude. How can you be so selfish?!
He immediately turned and ran, but Su Xin seemed to have anticipated it.
She waved, and the bodyguards restrained him.
"Let go of me! Are you trying to rebel?"
Sorry, Young Master... Your mom's the one who pays our wages.
"Xu Yi, go on. Give my son a good beating and blow off some steam."
*Mom, please love me one more
