That day, Wu lied to Chi that his mother was ill just to see Shuai. Chi figured that Wu was so busy with his work, he hardly has any time to visit his mother, he also hasn't visited his mother for a while now, so the next day Chi went to Wu's house.

Who knew, the moment he stepped into the house, Wu's mother was so pale, she doesn't even have the energy to speak, both of her feet are swollen to the size of buns. Chi didn't say anything much and brought her to the hospital. After a checkup in the hospital, it was then discovered that her diabetes has led to some heart issues, fortunately, she was sent for help on time before it was too late.

Today Wu's mother is being discharged from the hospital, Chi was there to pick her up.

In the car, she kept thanking Chi non-stop.

'Sorry to bother you again, I told you I could flag a cab myself.'

Chi simply said, 'No worries, I'm going to that area too.'

Once her blood glucose level reduced, her heart has returned to its normal state, her complexion now was totally different from when she was first sent to the hospital. On the way back, she kept nagging: 'I said I was fine, I was fine, but still insisted me to come. Look now, he has to pay my hospital bills, it isn't easy for him to earn that much money.'

Wu's mother has always thought that it was Wu who gave Chi the money to pay her bills.

Chi said, 'He's your son, he should pay for it.'

But she thought otherwise, 'My son hasn't even married yet, he's still a child himself, how could I rely on a child? My son is an honest person, he doesn't pull all those tricks, in this world we're living in right now, it isn't easy for an honest person to earn big bucks, it's only enough to pay for his meals. He got his honesty from his father, exactly the same.'

Chi scoffed internally, your son has definitely changed.

Arrived at Wu's house, Wu's mother dragged Chi in for a cup of tea, then again chatted non-stop with him.

'Have you found someone?'

'Yeah.'

She was so envious of him, 'I said someone like you is hot in the market! You dared to say and do things, you take responsibility for your actions too. My son is such a letdown, he broke up with his girlfriend of 7 years, how can he let me not worry about him!'

Chi squinted his eyes, 'He had a 7 years relationship?'

'Yeah!' Wu's mother was quite sad when he mentioned it, 'He even showed me her photo, she looked so diligent, her eyes are so lively. Right, I saw the photo the day before, wait a minute, I'll find it for you.'

Then, she walked to a cupboard, pull out each drawer and rummaged through every inch of them but she still couldn't find it for a while.

'Hm, why couldn't I find it now?'

Chi said, 'No need for the photo, just tell me how did they break up.'

Wu's mother sat by the heater, guilt and sadness overfilled her eyes.

'Wu always said that it's because they're characteristic doesn't match well, but I'm well aware that that's not the real reason, she must've thought that our house isn't that well off. Last year, she was supposed to have a dinner at our house, but they had already reached the doorstep but she said something important cropped up, my son followed her then. Ever since Wu never mentioned here to me ever again.'

While she was saying, she took out a small handkerchief and wiped away her tears.

'But my son didn't suffer a lot! At first, his dad kept saying that he wanted a son, but he didn't finish the room for our son. To raise up our three children, we both have to work on the farm for the whole day, so Wu was raised up like a calf. We didn't really restrict him much even until he went to work, he made himself a path.'
