Chapter 3: Others bring aliens you brought a mistress.
Mei-Mei almost missed a step because she was still reeling from shock. Our son!! Yue, her friend and Liang her husband had a son!! If it was a joke, it was not funny and Mei-Mei planned to say this to her husband. This idea was cleared up quickly when she heard her mother-in-law's next words.
"Good boy, come here and greet your grandmother. You have no idea how long I have been waiting to see you. I have been collecting gifts for you from the day you were born."
Mo Hao was pushed forward by Yue who had a shy smile on her face like a woman being introduced to her in-laws for the first time by her boyfriend. Which she was___except for the fact that her boyfriend was married.
"Mo Hao, call grandmother." she encouraged her son.
"Hello grandmother, I am Mo Hao, daddy's son." Mo Hao introduced himself.
Mrs. Sun was overwhelmed, tears filled her eyes as she pulled the child to her chest and hugged him, crying with joy. The universe had just delivered the greatest gift to her, she had just one son Mo Liang. That son now had a grandson, it made her feel proud.
The moment would have been touching if not for the fact that what was happening was outrageous and immoral. Mei-Mei processed the words her mother-in-law had just uttered. She had long known about the birth of this child and had been waiting to meet him. It meant she had known of her son's extra marital affair and supported it. All those gifts she was hoarding in her bedroom closet had an owner after all.
In the beginning, Mei-Mei assumed that they were Mingzhu's but had realized that she was wrong when her stingy mother-in-law never gave Mingzhu any gift on her birthdays. The old woman had a biased mentality, she preferred male children to female ones. From the day Mingzhu was born, it was if Mei-Mei had given birth to Mrs. Sun co-wife or nemesis. Mrs. Sun did not like Mingzhu and the feeling had become mutual over the years.
Mrs. Sun called Mingzhu a money loser, Mingzhu called her grandmother a free loader. Mei-Mei had long given up on reconciling them.
