Chapter 7: Getting What One Deserves, Hating to the Bone
874 Words
Tang Yi called to say that he hadn't picked up Tang Wei from the kindergarten. The principal said that someone had taken him away.
According to the principal's description, that person must be Bo Ye without a doubt!
Tang Shi got out of bed, stumbled over to open the drawer, and stuffed the medicine that she hadn't taken for a long time directly down her throat. She retched a few times and forced the tablet down without water. Then she wiped the tears from her face and stood up again.
There was a distinct hatred in her reddish eyes. She reached out and grabbed the clothes on her chest, her fingers trembling continuously.
It's okay... Don't be afraid.
Bo Ye, you've taken away my last belief. I'll fight you with everything I have!
Tang Wei was picked up by Bo Ye at three o'clock, and then he was directly taken to the Bo family mansion. As soon as Bo Ye's mother, Cen Huiqiu, saw him, she froze.
The old woman murmured, and tears fell from her eyes. "Are you... our Bo family's... grandson?"
Tang Wei didn't say anything. The sadness in Cen Huiqiu's eyes seemed genuine, but he didn't want to pay attention to her.
"Who are your parents?"
"It doesn't matter to you who my mother is."
Tang Wei smiled. The five-year-old child was incredibly intelligent. "Naturally, it doesn't matter to me who my father is either."
Just as Bo Ye parked the car and came in, he heard Tang Wei's words and kicked the door in anger. "What do you mean by that?"
Tang Wei said, "It means exactly what it says."
Cen Huiqiu could tell that this child had a deep grudge, especially against the Bo family. She didn't dare to go up and hug him, just looking at him like this. "Is your mother... doing well?"
Tang Wei smiled sweetly. "In prison, they eat at the state's expense, so my mother has enough food and clothing."
As soon as Bo Ye heard this, he got angry. He picked up Tang Wei by the collar. "Who taught you to speak so sarcastically?"
He sneered. "Did Tang Shi teach you to talk like this? Hmm?"
Tang Wei had no fear on his face. "Who taught me? Everyone around me tells me this. They say my mother has been in prison, that she killed someone. If you think about it, you also said it in front of my mother yesterday."
Bo Ye felt a sharp pain in his heart. He put Tang Wei down hard and gritted his teeth. "Did you learn some tricks from your mother to come here and make me unhappy?"
"If you think I'm making you unhappy, then send me back."
Tang Wei looked at him. "You want to use me to threaten my mother, but doing this will only make us hate you more."
Hate you more!
Finally, it was said. Admit it, they were indeed hating him, and this hatred had seeped into their bones and become a habit.
Wherever Bo Ye appeared, Tang Shi would be panic-stricken and wish she could run away.
So for a full five years, she moved from the original Haicheng to Lancheng just to escape him!
Bo Ye didn't know why he flew into a rage. He smashed a lot of things. Cen Huiqiu tried to persuade him sorrowfully from behind. "Ye'er, stop breaking things..."
Bo Ye sneered and went upstairs on his own. Tang Wei sat on the sofa downstairs with an expressionless face.
When the father and son were angry, they really looked exactly the same.
Cen Huiqiu called the servants to clean up and sat down beside Tang Wei. She said with pity, "Did you get scared...?"
Tang Wei shook his head. "No."
But his eyes were reddish around the rims, clearly showing that he had been frightened.
"Your... What's your name?" Cen Huiqiu took a liking to this child and wanted to ask his name.
Tang Wei looked at her. "My name is Tang Wei. It's the 'Wei' with the heart radical. My mother said this character represents 'only' and 'hope'."
Cen Huiqiu didn't dare to ask about Tang Shi's current situation, but since Tang Wei brought it up, she continued to ask carefully, "Your mother..."
"You don't need to worry about my mother, Madam."
Look at him, a five-year-old child, so intelligent that he was almost like a demon. Even when using an honorific, he was so distant. It would probably be difficult to get close to him in the future...
Cen Huiqiu thought of an appropriate way to start. "Tang Wei, actually... back then, your parents..."
"There's no need to tell me. I know." Tang Wei directly cut her off. "They all say that my mother was promiscuous, that she killed someone, so she got what she deserved. I understand. We deserve what we get."
We deserve what we get.
He clearly said words that condemned himself to hell, but it made Cen Huiqiu's heart ache as well.
This child really hated them...
Tang Wei didn't care that he had hurt the old woman's feelings. He turned his head and looked out the window.
The night was dark, and there was no sign of dawn.
