Chapter 346 - 327: Putting to Work-II
Li Lian’s day became busy with the promotion where she had to be on the stage for a TV music program and sang her song there. As it was her first time to be there, Li Lian felt excited than fear. It had been years for Li Lian to sing on the stage and she had gotten used to singing in front of people. She didn’t feel any more stage fright and what came to her was only excitement.
Wei Mo Ran who was on her phone saw her son’s picture which was sent by the caretaker who had always taken care of her son while she was at work. Li Lian bend her neck, to see the picture of the son and remembered how Jen Qiling was similar to Jin Suzheng. Both, having the same infidelity problem.
"Is that Sian? He is very adorable," Li Lian started, gaining Wei Mo Ran’s attention and the woman smiled at hers agreeing to her words like a mother she was. "Last time you said he won the mathematics first place? I am sure he would grow up to be a boy with many secrets admires."
"I only wish him the best and to teach him how to treasure people beside him," answered Wei Mo Ran.
Li Lian could guess the deeper meaning of Wei Mo Ran’s words. She wishes to teach her son not to repeat the mistake his father had done to her. To not grow up as a man who cheated on his dear wife.
Li Lian encouraged the woman, "They said a rotten apple tree would only produce rotten apple but they are wrong. You know, out of all apples on the rotten tree, there was still the baby apple that struggled to grow up. Whether the baby apple would turn rotten or now, is up to who was the gardener taking care of the baby apple. What’s on the root isn’t important but how they were tending as growing up."
"The caretaker," Wei Mo Ran smiled at Li Lian’s words. "You are right."
In the silence Li Lian looked away from the picture as Wei Mo Ran continues to slide the pictures, watching every one of them with a motherly smile. Li Lian wasn’t sure if she could speak freely but she thought she should. "Mo Ran can I ask you something?"
Wei Mo Ran took note of how Li Lian asked for her permission as if it was a question that wasn’t easy to ask. It was part of Wei Mo Ran’s work to hear Li Lian’s question and help her go through her emotions but that wasn’t only the reason. With Li Lian, Wei Mo Ran had thought of her more than only a singer under her but a friend.
"Anything," said Wei Mo Ren, waiting for Li Lian to ask.
Unable to ask the question to others, Li Lian asked, "How do you know Mr. Jen cheated on you?"
