Chapter 659: I’ll Listen to You (200+ Monthly Tickets)
Chen Tong, as a person, may have many labels. Some might say he is a refined egoist, or a traitor to his country. But no matter what, "unfilial" definitely isn’t on the list.
In fact, he was incredibly kind to his foster mother, who was only fourteen years older than him.
No natural child would likely surpass his obedience. During his college years, he would save and scrimp to buy Suizi the most expensive cosmetics with his scholarships, and even promised to make her the happiest mother in the world.
However, this most dutiful son stabbed Suizi in the heart, so much so that in the end, their mother-son relationship became so strained that he even refused to call her "mother".
"He studied all the way through to postdoctoral research and solved a world-class problem."
"Even though I can’t see him as having the brains for it, but is this something worth making yourself sick over?"
His wife dreamed of raising a scientist; in Yu Jingting’s eyes, a scientist can bring honor to the family.
If Jiaojiao were to become a scientist, her parents would likely throw a three-day feast back in the Wang Family village, and bounce around joyfully on their ancestor’s tomb in the old Yu Family cemetery, to spite those who had wrongfully switched their child at birth.
"What if... this scientist... contributes to another country instead?" The mere mention of this made Suizi lose her breath.
"Did he grow up to be a traitor?"
"If his research was on anything else it might be slightly better, but his field of study will cause us a lot of trouble...you know."
