Are the wealthy family just cannon fodder? A five-year-old boy comes to change his fate.
Chapter 2 The Unwanted 'Mother'
After saying that, the little dumpling fainted.
Xu Xingyao quickly picked up Sui'an and placed her in the back seat, then drove towards the hospital.
On the way, she dialed her son's number and gently coaxed him, "Xuanxuan, I'm sorry, Mom suddenly had something urgent to attend to. Mom bought you a gift... Don't be angry."
"I don't want your gifts! Aunt Weiwei just came over and bought me lots of gifts. You're so busy every day. I don't want you to be my mom anymore. I want Aunt Weiwei to be my mom!"
"Xuan..."
Before the words were even finished, the other end of the line had already hung up.
Xu Xingyao stared blankly at the phone that had been hung up, feeling extremely disappointed.
This wasn't the first time her son had said something like that to her.
Cai Zhuoxuan has been by her side since birth. When he was three years old, she went abroad for work and left her son at home. However, she would return to China to see her child whenever she had time in the past two years. But unexpectedly, when she returned a year ago...
A woman named Lin Wei appeared in her husband's life, and her son adored her, calling her "Aunt Weiwei" all the time.
That night, she returned a day early, wanting to surprise her son, but instead heard him laughing while holding Lin Wei's hand.
"Auntie Weiwei, Daddy said he'd take me to the amusement park tomorrow, but he also said Mommy will be back. I don't want Mommy to go, I want Auntie Weiwei to go instead..."
Lin Wei smiled and patted Xuanxuan's head gently, advising, "Xuanxuan, your mother only comes back once in a long while. You should spend time with her."
"I know, but Dad and I both want to take Aunt Weiwei with us. I really wish Aunt Weiwei could be my mom... Also, it's not just me who likes Aunt Weiwei, Dad likes her too."
Xu Xingyao stood at the door, as if frozen in place, her knuckles white from gripping her fingers so tightly.
When she was heartbroken, she fell into deep self-blame.
"Beep beep beep—"
The honking of a car behind her brought Xu Xingyao back to reality, and she remembered that there was a little girl who was unconscious in the back seat.
She started the car and called the hospital.
We arrived at the hospital.
After a thorough examination, and learning that Sui An was not seriously injured, Xu Xingyao then called her husband, Cai Jing.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered. Cai Jing's voice was cold: "What is it?"
Xu Xingyao explained, "I didn't notice I bumped into a child when I came back today. I'm at the hospital now. Could you explain this to Xuanxuan for me? Also, I was thinking of taking Xuanxuan with us tomorrow to his favorite children's playground, and then we can have dinner together in the evening."
"understood."
Cai Jing's tone revealed a hint of impatience.
Xu Xingyao was already used to her husband's tone and wasn't angry. If it weren't for their son, she would have divorced him already.
"Brother Jing, I just put Xuanxuan to sleep, so I'm going back now. Explain to him tomorrow morning that I promised to stay here..."
Xu Xingyao was about to reply when she was interrupted by a female voice on the other end of the phone. She recognized the voice; it was Lin Wei.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wei was at her home so late at night.
That "Brother Jing" was called out with such affection.
"It's alright, you can just stay here. It's not like there aren't any rooms available. It's dangerous for you to drive back so late."
"But... Sister Xingyao will be angry if she sees me, won't she?"
"It's alright, what happened back then wasn't your fault in the first place."
Before hanging up the phone, Xu Xingyao heard her husband's gentle tone. She couldn't remember the last time her husband had spoken to her like that... It seemed that he had changed from the moment their son was born.
Xu Xingyao simply assumed that her husband was giving his love to their son, and she didn't feel anything was wrong with it; on the contrary, she was very happy.
He loves Xuanxuan the same way he loves her.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, she overheard it again, but her husband was saying it to another woman.
And... it's Lin Wei!
Xu Xingyao's throat tightened, and her fingers clenched until they turned white.
One year ago, Cai Jing drank too much, and the two had a wild night together. A month later, she became pregnant.
Xu Xingyao was overjoyed to tell her husband the news, but to her surprise, Cai Jing was not happy at all. Instead, he said he didn't want the child.
She still remembers what Cai Jing said that day.
"I'm not ready to have another child yet, and Xuanxuan is still young. Having another child would only make her feel that we don't love her."
"I don't plan to have this child!"
Xu Xingyao was reluctant to part with him, thinking that Cai Jing would change his mind after some time.
Only at one gathering.
She could never forget that day. Lin Wei came to chat with her, but she lost her footing while going downstairs. Just as she was falling, Lin Wei grabbed her hand. It happened so suddenly that she lost her balance and they both fell down.
The two were taken to the hospital, but she lost her baby.
"Brother Jing, it was my fault just now. I didn't expect to catch Sister Xingyao, and I didn't know she was pregnant. It's all my fault!"
Lin Wei was crying outside the ward.
"It's good that she's alright. She's just a child; I wasn't planning on having her anyway." Cai Jing's voice was deep and tinged with worry. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine..." Lin Wei shook her head.
"Aunt Weiwei, Xuanxuan doesn't want a younger sister or brother either. Mom is a bad person. She actually tried to hide the fact that she was having a younger brother or sister from me. She just doesn't like me! I don't want Mom anymore. I only want Aunt Weiwei."
This scene looks just like a heartwarming family of three.
Lying in her hospital bed, Xu Xingyao was weak. She had lost her child, and now her husband and son were comforting another woman...
Even though this woman is the reason they lost their children, their younger brother (or sister).
Now, instead of blaming her, they've become the bad guy.
As night fell, her husband returned to the ward and said indifferently, "Weiwei didn't do it on purpose. She fell herself and her leg is badly injured, but she still came to check on you first."
Weiwei? That sounds so affectionate.
Even if Lin Wei didn't do it on purpose, her child was ultimately lost because of her.
Xu Xingyao gritted her teeth, her voice weak, "Cai Jing! Our child is gone, she only injured her leg!"
"I've already said, Weiwei didn't do it on purpose, and besides, she didn't know you were pregnant!"
Cai Jing's voice carried a hint of anger, but not because the child was lost, but simply because Xu Xingyao was blaming Lin Wei.
"I haven't even asked you yet. Didn't I tell you last time to get an abortion? And what did you do? You secretly wanted to keep the baby! What exactly do you mean by this?!"
"Xu Xingyao, you're so selfish!"
Xu Xingyao opened her mouth, feeling completely unfamiliar with the man in front of her. Was this the same man who had promised to take care of her for the rest of his life?
Her heart seemed to stop at that moment, and a bittersweet smile appeared on her lips. "Where's Xuanxuan?"
Cai Jing opened his mouth, but swallowed the truth that was about to come out, and replied lightly, "Xuanxuan was frightened today, so I had someone take him home."
The truth is, Xuanxuan is currently with Lin Wei.
It wasn't that Cai Jing felt sorry for Xu Xingyao, but... he couldn't let Xu Xingyao be stimulated and discover more things... after all, Xu Xingyao was still very important to him.
"Madam, your daughter has woken up and is looking for you."
The nurse appeared before her, bringing her back to reality.
Xu Xingyao then remembered the little girl she had bumped into earlier that day.
She quickly followed the nurse to the ward, where she saw the little girl sitting on the bed, looking somewhat flustered and frightened, her big eyes constantly searching for something.
When Sui'an saw Xu Xingyao at the door, her panicked face immediately broke into a smile, and she called out to her, "Mom."
Xu Xingyao smiled, walked to the bedside and sat down. Looking at the little girl in front of her, she asked with concern, "Xiaobao, are you still in pain? Auntie was in a hurry and didn't see you just now. Do you remember your parents' phone number? Auntie will call your parents."
"So you're Sui'an's mother!"
Sui An looked at Xu Xingyao; the mother she imagined looked just like Xu Xingyao.
Xu Xingyao touched Sui An's forehead.
It's not hot... Why are you talking nonsense?
She then gently patted the little bun on Sui'an's head. "Your name is Sui'an, which means peace and safety every year... What a nice name."
"But I'm not your mother."
Sui'an blinked and tilted her head. "But the mother in Sui'an's dream is you."
When Xu Xingyao found Sui'an adorable, she patiently explained, "Sui'an, Auntie is telling you, you can't call your mom 'Mommy' randomly, otherwise your mommy... will be sad!"
Xu Xingyao could understand this feeling all too well.
She closed her eyes, and the image of her son holding Lin Wei's hand flashed through her mind: "Aunt Weiwei, why don't you be my mom? I don't like my current mom. She only knows how to study her own things all day long, and she's not as good to me as Aunt Weiwei! Aunt Weiwei is my mom."
That scene caused Xu Xingyao a deep pain in her heart.
This is... the pain of a biological child abandoning you and calling another woman "Mom"!
Moreover, this woman caused her to lose her child.
Xu Xingyao opened her eyes and looked at Sui An. "Mom" may seem like just a title, but behind this title lies a mother's hard work and dedication!
I don't want another mother to experience the pain I've caused myself. I need to talk to Sui'an about this, and I can't let her mother be sad.
Suddenly, Xu Xingyao felt her hand go limp. Looking down, she saw a chubby little hand resting on the back of her hand, with big eyes filled with tears: "Sui'an has never had a mother since she was little..."
Xu Xingyao was slightly taken aback.
Sui'an lowered her head and continued, "Since I was little, Sui'an has envied other people who have parents. Sui'an also wants parents... but none of those parents want me..."
Xu Xingyao was surprised, not expecting that the cute little girl in front of her was actually an orphan.
"In Sui'an's dream, the mother is just like Auntie. Can Auntie be Sui'an's mother?" The little dumpling looked at Xu Xingyao with expectant eyes.
Xu Xingyao's heart softened; the pain she felt earlier turned into tenderness. "Sui'an..."
She desperately wanted to fulfill the poor child's wish, but 'Mom'...
"I'm sorry, Sui'an, Auntie can't be your mother..."
