TRANSMIGRATING TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOM TO FIVE BIGWIGS

Chapter 321-330

Chapter 321: Protect the Mother or the Baby

The more Xiao Mei listened to him, the more she felt that something was amiss. The crew, who were about to get off work, halted when they heard their argument and quickly stopped him. “Cao Yang, calm down. Don’t spout nonsense. You might have mistaken her for someone else.”

She saw that Sister Wei’s hair was combed neatly. Although her legs were a little lame, she was quite energetic and she was dressed decently. She couldn’t associate her with the word ‘crazy’.

“I’m not spouting nonsense. I couldn’t have mistaken her for someone else either. How could I possibly misidentify her? I’d be able to recognize her even if she turned into ashes.” Cao Yang sneered. “Xiao Mei, didn’t you ask me before why you didn’t meet my mother when we got engaged? She’s the woman who gave birth to me.”

Mu Jingzhe was shocked and suddenly looked at Sister Wei. Sister Wei closed her eyes and looked at Mu Jingzhe. “Boss, I want to go back now.”

“Okay.” Mu Jingzhe was also very surprised by the relationship between Cao Yang and Sister Wei. When she recalled Cao Yang’s attitude toward his biological mother previously, it was obvious that the mother-and-son duo didn’t have a good relationship. Sister Wei had never mentioned her family before either. Previously, when Mu Jingzhe had asked, she had said that they were all dead.

She hadn’t expected her son to still be alive and hate her so much. Seeing the pain and despair in Sister Wei’s eyes, Mu Jingzhe agreed without saying anything.

Sister Wei thanked her in a low voice. Regardless of whether Mu Jingzhe would fire her in the future, she had lived a peaceful, stable life for many days. She had thought that she could continue living in peace like this, but she hadn’t expected that…

Sister Wei laughed bitterly and got ready to leave. Cao Yang looked at her back and sneered. “Why are you running away? You can feel shame? Are you afraid that I’ll tell them what you did?”

The way Cao Yang was speaking, it sounded like Sister Wei had let him down. The onlookers couldn’t help feeling curious. “What did she do?”

Everyone looked at Mu Jingzhe. They all still remembered the argument about whether the kindness of giving birth was greater than the kindness of raising the child. They all suspected that Sister Wei had also abandoned her son.

Cao Yang looked at Sister Wei’s back. “Back then, I almost died before I was born. When she gave birth to me, she was asked to choose between protecting herself or the baby, and she chose to protect herself and kill me.”

Cao Yang sneered. “You’ve never seen such a selfish mother before, have you? All the mothers in this world would have chosen their children. Only she chose to protect herself. Is she worthy of being a mother? She’s not!”

Everyone looked understanding. So that was the reason for his attitude.

Sister Wei’s departing back trembled, as if she was holding something back. Her eyes were filled with despair. Here they came again. Here they came again. She could never escape these selfish shackles.

No one spoke for a moment. Only Mu Jingzhe looked like she had heard wrong. “What are you talking about? Cao Yang, you’ve been scolding your biological mother, not because she abandoned you or abused you, but because it all came down to protecting the mother or the baby?”

Cao Yang felt that Mu Jingzhe’s tone and question were a little strange, but he still nodded fiercely. “Yes, she chose to live alone. She’s a selfish woman.”

This was what Cao Yang had heard since he was young. His grandmother had said this, and his father, uncles, and aunts had also told him as much. They had said that he was pitiful and he had nearly died before being born.
