Chapter 112: Keeping an Eye on Shen Hanxing
"Are you blaming me for not going?" Wu Tong did not think she was wrong. She pulled Ji No fiercely as she said, "Ji Mo, don’t you know how busy I am? Are you holding a grudge because of a lousy parent-teacher meeting? I worked so hard to give birth to you, and this is how you treat me? I have given birth to a heartless, ungrateful brat like you!"
Busy? What had she been busy doing? Ji Mo tried his best to recall the few moments they spent together.
Yes, she was busy. She only cared about her beauty and skincare. She was busy having afternoon tea with her little sisters. She was busy shopping. She was busy dating different men. She was so busy that she couldn’t spare any time for her son.
Ji Mo felt it was ridiculous, yet he could not laugh anymore. It was as if a sharp knife was slicing through his heart bit by bit. It was painful.
"I never hold a grudge against you," Ji Mo pursed his lips and said softly, "I know you are busy, so I don’t want to waste your time. I’m going to be late for class. I’ll go to school first."
"Ji Mo!" Wu Tong panicked. The only reason she was able to lead such a carefree life was because of her son, who belonged to the Ji family. She was used to Ji Mo being obedient to her. He would always be around her, no matter how she scolded or beat him. A smile from her could make him feel grateful. However, things were out of her control now. It was rare for her to be flustered. But she could not put on her act anymore. She could only vent the fear in her heart with anger. "Don’t ever call me mom anymore if you dare to leave today!"
Ji Mo suddenly stopped. His body stiffened as he turned around to look at her. He looked at his mother sadly. "Do you really want to make things nasty?"
"If you hadn’t been disobedient, why would I be angry?" Seeing Ji Mo stop when she yelled at him, she smirked. "Ji Mo, why have you become like this? You were very obedient. Did your new sister-in-law say something to you? I knew it. What kind of upbringing can a vixen from the slums have? She is a slut, after all. How dare she influences my son and make him disobedient..."
She was cursing and swearing, and everything she said was unpleasant words. However, Ji Mo could see the jealousy in his mother’s eyes when he looked closely. She was jealous of Shen Hanxing, a woman whose background was not even as good as hers was able to marry Ji Yan and become the legitimate Mrs. Ji. Wu Tong had put in so much effort, yet she was only a mistress. She could not marry Ji Mo’s father even after getting pregnant with Ji Mo.
"Mom!"
