Bombarded by her own mother’s chain of questions, Le Tian reached up and massaged her forehead. “No, I’m not.”
Seeing her daughter’s rebuttal, the frown on Le Tian’s mother’s face deepened. “Le Tian, let me tell you something—I want you to quickly find someone to take care of you, but you mustn’t find someone like Dong Feng again.”
Dong Feng—
Le Tian’s family had always avoided bringing him up.
When Le Tian was with Dong Feng, Dong Feng treated her parents very well. Hence, her parents had always liked Dong Feng, and that was why they discussed marriage after graduation.
Unfortunately…
Le Tian felt like someone pricked her heart, but that feeling quickly disappeared.
“Mom, I’m really not in a relationship. I’ll be the first to tell you if I do.” Le Tian promised her mother with a serious face. “Besides, I’m not eighteen anymore. I won’t attempt suicide for a man.”
Especially for a man who was not worth it at all.
What?
Suicide for a man?
Ding Yuejia blinked at his mother. There was something wrong with this script. Why did his mother try to kill herself for another man?
Ding Yuejia’s little head was filled with question marks. That man must be bad.
“Your mother’s right. You should find someone who is honest and stable, just like Wen Shan. It’s not bad to find a university lecturer,” Le Tina’s father said. “Why don’t I ask your mother to ask Wen Shan to see if she can introduce you to someone?”
Le Tian burst out laughing. “Dad, don’t be ridiculous. Wen Shan is… It was an accident. Dean Nalan wasn’t the Dean in our school. He came for Wen Shan.”
“Look at her! Look at you! Ugh, I don’t even know what to say about you anymore,” Le Tian’s mother said with a sigh.
Ding Yuejia pursed his lips. “Grandma, my father is very good too.”
“Ding Yuejia,” Le Tian growled.
On the other hand, Le Tian’s mother laughed, amused by Ding Yuejia. “Your father is good. Of course, your father is good. Yet, your father and your Teacher Le Tian are people from different worlds.”
“What do you mean by ‘from different worlds’?” Ding Yuejia was too young to understand what this meant.
“Mom—”
“If they’re not from the same world, they’re not patible.” Le Tian’s mother told Ding Yuejia directly since she treated it as a child’s desire to learn.
Ding Yuejia muttered an ‘oh’ in a low voice and became unhappy.
Why were his Daddy and Mommy from different worlds? They were together, were they not?
Le Tian lowered her head to look at Ding Yuejia who was dismayed. She felt a wave of bitterness rising. She looked up at her mother. “He’s so young. Why are you telling him all this?”
“It is exactly because he’s a child that you mustn’t lie to him,” said Le Tian’s mother as she stood up and went to the kitchen. “Yuejia, Grandma made you some other snacks too.”
“Grandma, I’m full,” replied Ding Yuejia unhappily as he put down the children’s chopsticks in his hand.
Seeing that his son was unhappy, Le Tian also felt sad.
Le Tian’s mother turned around and looked at Ding Yuejia in confusion. “You’re full already?”
Ding Yuejia raised his head and nodded obediently. “Grandma, Yuejia is really full. Thank you for making such delicious food for me. Yuejia should go home now. My Daddy will be looking for me.”
Le Tian’s mother nodded with an ‘oh’. Why did she feel like the little child was suddenly unhappy?
“Mom, I’ll take him back,” Le Tian said, grabbing the small bag containing his things. She let him put it on his back before grabbing her own bag.
Le Tian knew that the child was heartbroken because of what his grandmother just said.
