Chapter 2 - 001 Became a Mom After Transmigration
Happy families are all alike, but every unhappy family has its own unique misfortune.
In the bustling crowds at the train station, a slender woman rushed out hastily. She carried a shoulder bag, tightly gripping her phone. Her meticulously made-up face was as pale as paper, tears sparkled in her bright eyes, stubbornly refusing to fall.
"Driver, please hurry up." Sitting in the taxi, Tian Sangsang urged anxiously. Her phone was flooded with WeChat messages from colleagues, she skimmed through a few of them. To hell with the job, let it be lost! It doesn't matter.
Tian Sangsang's company had strict rules and regulations, not allowing any human errors or emergencies. Requests for leave or resignation had to be submitted in advance and approved by the leaders. But after receiving her younger brother's call, she hurriedly left her post. This job could not be saved; she knew that, but she didn't regret it. This was the third call from her brother, saying their father's condition in the hospital was worsening day by day and could collapse at any moment. She had been too busy to return home the first two times, but now, her brother's tone had given her a bad feeling. She had to return! Jobs can be found again, but she only had one father.
To ensure she wouldn't miss any updates, Tian Sangsang had set her phone to ringtone mode.
"Red beans grow in the southern lands—it's such a distant dream. What is yearning worth? It's long been forgotten."
The familiar melody rang out; it used to be a song Tian Sangsang was particularly fond of. But today, it felt like a death knell. A rush of tears suddenly streamed down her face. She stared blankly at the phone's caller ID — it was her younger brother. She hesitated to answer, fearful of hearing bad news.
"The ancient poets are hardest to forget, but yearning is the least worth remembering. Guarding love, afraid of ridicule, afraid of being truly seen..."
"Miss, your phone is ringing." The driver, hearing her ringtone go on and on, couldn't help but remind her. Yet through the mirror, he saw Tian Sangsang behind him, face wet with tears, her nose red from crying. He sighed deeply — ah, this world has no shortage of heartbreak. As a driver, he was used to encountering such sorrow.
