The Crippled Boss Loves Me Chapter 124 - He Was Still So Happy After Being Slapped

Chapter 124 He Was Still So Happy After Being Slapped

Their father was indeed a b*stard. When he was in love with Wu Tong, he would swear an oath of eternal love. When he tired of her, he would leave the money and disappear without a trace.

“I know that you’re a good child.” Wu Tong smiled in relief and took a step forward to hug him. “I was really scared when I couldn’t find you. I thought you didn’t want me as your mother anymore.”

This was the first time Ji Mo had ever been hugged by his mother. This strange feeling made Ji Mo’s entire body stiffen, and it was like his blood was frozen. He stood rooted to the ground in a daze and held his breath. He was afraid that everything in front of him was a beautiful dream that would disappear with just a gentle breath.

“I, I didn’t…” Ji Mo muttered to himself. “I was just afraid that you would be angry, so I didn’t dare to tell you.”

“As long as you’re not abandon me, I’ll be very happy.” Wu Tong lay on Ji Mo’s shoulder and cried. Her voice was choked with sobs. “I know that I didn’t treat you well in the past. I have already repented. Ji Mo, I will learn to be a good mom. Can you give me a chance?”

Ji Mo closed his eyes and was silent for a long while before he slowly stretched out his hand and hugged Wu Tong tightly. It was as if he was hugging an illusory dream. His eyes were slightly red as he said hoa.r.s.ely, “Okay.”

The mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly. It was only at night that Wu Tong finally left reluctantly.

After sending Wu Tong away, Ji Mo’s eyes flashed with a light that he had never seen before. He grinned and returned to the living room.

“Ji Mo.” Ji Ning looked worriedly at the clear palm print on his face. He asked carefully, “Are you alright? Does it hurt?” After he said that, he pointed at Ji Mo’s cheek.

Wu Tong’s slap was obviously full of strength. His cheek was slightly bruised. There were also a few b.l.o.o.d.y scratches from the fingernails. Hearing Ji Ning’s words, Ji Mo subconsciously touched his cheek and his gaze darkened for a moment. However, he quickly smiled again with pure joy. “It’s alright, I didn’t hurt.”

“Idiot.” Ji Qian frowned and muttered, “You’re still so happy after getting slapped. I really don’t know what kind of bewitching potion that woman gave you.”

“Fourth Sister,” Ji Mo retorted with a straight face, “Don’t talk about my mother like that. She’s not having it easy either.”

“Alright, alright, alright. She’s not having it easy. She had a really tough time.” Ji Qian did not want to argue with him and was too lazy to listen to his infuriating words. “I won’t say anymore, alright?”

She had never met a woman who lived more comfortably than Wu Tong. She had dropped out of school early and clung onto their father’s lap. When her husband was still alive, she let him take care of her. After she gave birth to a son, she let her son take care of her after her husband died. She just played cards every day, beautified herself, and went shopping with her sisters. She was living a carefree life every day.

Ji Mo could not even see such obvious thing. He clearly looked like a smart child, but when he met that woman, it was as if he had been bewitched. If not for their father’s will stipulating that they had to be 18 years old before they could use their shares, Ji Mo’s shares would have been swindled away by that woman long ago.

However, what did the matter between the mother and son have to do with her? Ji Qian took a sip of her juice and made a dull sound.

Ji Mo did not seem to notice her att.i.tude. he was still wearing a dazzling smile and said, “I had dinner with my mother when I sent her home just now. You don’t have to call me for dinner. I’ll go upstairs now.”

Looking at Ji Mo’s jubilant back, Shen Hanxing’s eyes were filled with worry. “Is Ji Mo going to be okay?”

“A child won’t grow up without a fall.” Ji Yan lowered his eyes, his expression cold. “He’ll know the pain when he hit the wall. He will learn his lesson.”

What Ji Yan said was true, but it was always unbearable to see. Shen Hanxing let out a low sigh, “The flowers in the greenhouse can’t withstand the wind and rain.”

Seeing that Shen Hanxing was worried, Ji Yan held her hand and said, “Like that orchid. It was carefully taken care of by others. That’s why it’s on the verge of death when it encounters a little wind and rain.”

“I got it.” Shen Hanxing quickly adjusted his mood. “Let him be. We can’t protect him forever. We have to let them grow up on their own.”

The two of them reached an agreement and did not mention this matter again.

This period of time was the happiest time in Ji Mo’s life. Every night, he would call his mother for half an hour. After studying at home and finis.h.i.+ng his homework, he could still exercise with his sister-in-law and grow flowers. This kind of fulfilling and peaceful life finally cheered up the depressed youth.

Time flew by. Three months pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Shen Hanxing wore a sportswear that made it easy for him to move. With a shovel filled with soil in her hand, she excitedly announced, “Good news, that orchid has produced a small flower bud today!”
