"Okay, let's talk later."
Lin Li hung up and called Wu Min.
Won lining up to chat with him—maybe this is his charm.
Looks like he needs to learn ti managent from Luo Zhixiang.
"Lin Li, finished playing your ga?" Wu Min answered with a yawn, asking casually.
—Scenes like this weren't uncommon before, mostly because Lin Li was busy gaming with his friends, leading Wu Min to instinctively presu the sa this ti.
So after hanging up the phone, Wu Min didn't even ask Lin Li on WeChat what he was doing.
"Kind of," Lin Li chuckled.
Whether open or not, it's definitely unnecessary to ntion now. Yet Lin Li, feeling quite smug, couldn't help but proactively ask:
"Mom, do you want a grandson?"
Mom, Lin Shouying and Lin Ziwang are waiting for you.
You can choose whether you want to be Shouying's grandma or Ziwang's grandma.
With these two kids, introducing yourself as a grandma in public, AUV, it's so impressive!
"Not at all," however, what Lin Li received was Wu Min's extrely disdainful voice, "Grandson? I don't even want my son anymore, let alone a grandson. Don't bother."
Lin Li: "(;☉_☉)?"
Wait, what?
If you don't want a grandson, fine, but you can't not want a son.
Your words are really hurtful, Mom.
"Mom, what you said is a bit hurtful."
"Enough, why ask suddenly, are you pregnant? Or are you raising a pet?" Wu Min asked, a faint premonition stirring her heart.
"I had one, but after hearing your cold words, I've miscarried," Lin Li said sadly.
"That's great."
Although Wu Min couldn't quite grasp Lin Li's intentions, the news of the miscarriage turned out to be good news for her, letting out a deep breath.
"Mom, you are so cold-hearted, you completely broke my heart. Just wait, when you want to hold a child, see what you will do!" Lin Li said in extre anger.
"I'll beco a babysitter or a nanny, don't worry about that, Lin Li." Wu Min replied with a cold laugh, the threat having no effect.
Lin Li: "…"
Holding soone else's kids?
That's what a bad nanny does.
Oh my gosh! Lin Li now has reason to suspect he's actually the child of a billionaire, swapped by Wu Min!
It all adds up now!
Who stole my life!
"If you want abortion fees, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush." Wu Min started her peculiar reasoning.
"Sister Min, why do you think I'm hitting you up for money whenever I need sothing?"
Lin Li's self-esteem took a hit:
"I've really had enough of you as my mother. Good thing, I've grown and beco an adult. I've decided, starting today, I'll live completely independently forever!"
"Oh," Wu Min's voice was unwavering, with only a hint of teasing, "Think your wings are sturdy now? So, where are you planning to live, found a place yet? How much rent? Mom can help you see if it's worth it."
"Renting?" Lin Li seed puzzled, "Why would I rent?"
"Then how will you live independently?"
"Mom, I've just finished packing all your stuff in your room and threw them outside the door. When you have ti, co and collect them yourself. If you're late, I won't be responsible. If the garbage collector picks them up, it's your own loss." Lin Li said calmly.
Wu Min: "…"
Wait, what?
Turns out living independently wasn't about renting or buying but permanently kicking his own mother out?
Remarks like these in ancient tis would've led to being drowned, but coming from one's own son seed quite normal.
"Lin Li, prepare so herbal oil and bruise dicine, it'll co in handy when I return in two weeks." Since Lin Li was demonstrating his filial piety, Wu Min decided to show her motherly love too.
"Mom, what's up, are you injured?" Lin Li asked, knowingly.
"Yes, my hand might get swollen by then," Wu Min stated bluntly.
Lin Li laughed for a while, then asked: "Sister Min, haven't you always only returned ho during holidays, why coming back in two weeks suddenly, is it because the company's on holiday or sothing?"
"Your school's holding a parent-teacher eting, gotta take leave to attend." Wu Min didn't hide her intentions.
"Parent-teacher eting? When, did they already notify you?" Lin Li was stunned and curious.
Xue Jian indeed ntioned before the midterm exam that there would be a parent-teacher eting afterward, but last week's class eting didn't ntion it, he thought it was skipped.
"Yes, it's set for the week after next, most likely on Friday." Wu Min nodded, "They'll discuss your elective courses, exams, and class selection matters…
I'll forward it to you, you can look at it yourself. Honestly, even if mom listens, it's of no use, you probably have your own opinions, just make your own decisions."
"So you're specially taking leave? My horoom teacher knows our family's situation, he wouldn't mind if you don't co." Lin Li laughed.
Wu Min was silent.
Previously, she might have skipped this parent-teacher eting, or let relatives in Xiling Town, siblings substitute her.
But this ti, Lin Li ranked first in both class and grade in the midterm exam.
Not going?
Wu Min: "Lin Li, of course, it's because mom loves you."
Lin Li: "?"
My mom loves ? Really?
…
His calls with Wu Min were never very long, given they talked weekly and chatted on WeChat regularly, no need for overly detailed calls.
Both didn't have that much sharing desire anyway.
And frankly, missing Lin Li's voice for a week doesn't accumulate a whole lot of motherly love and longing.
This bit of motherly love, chatting with Lin Li for half an hour max would be exhausted.
Thus, it's usually Wu Min who ends these mother-son warm conversations.
Lin Li imdiately dialed Chen Yu Ying's number, seamlessly transitioning.
Waiting for connection, Lin Li figured, this would also beco the way it is between him and Chen Yu Ying in the future—not feeling the urge to constantly hear each other's voice like today.
Being too clingy can lead to faster exhaustion.
But today was their first day together, and they couldn't help the urge to express.
"You've initiated a voice call."
"The other party rejected."
"Chen Yu Ying: Wait a mont, I'm taking a bath now."
"You've initiated a video call."
"Chen Yu Ying: ?"
