Chapter 4873 Losing Self

The policeman handed her a slip: "Sign this and you can take your son back."

"Oh, thank you, thank you so much!"

Wan Mei quickly signed, thanked her profusely, and pulled Zhao Yuanjing out of the police station.

She pushed the electric car and turned back to Zhao Yuanjing and said, "Come up here. I'll take you home first. I have to go back to the factory to work overtime."

Under the bright street light, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the few white hairs faintly exposed on the top of her head fell into Zhao Yuanjing's eyes.

Zhao Yuanjing paused and asked, "Shouldn't you rest at night?"

"I want to rest. Don't I have to work overtime to make money?" Wan Mei babbled and took out the key, inserted it into the electric car, and rode on it herself. "Hurry up, don't waste time. I'm going back late. My group The boss has to find trouble to deduct my salary again, so I won’t have to work in vain for two days!”

Zhao Yuanjing stood still and said calmly: "Is it worth it?"

"What did you say?"

"How much of the money you earned from hard work was spent on yourself? Why waste your time for a man like Wang Dalei?"

Wan Mei was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

She was not shocked by these words, but because these words came from her own son.

The son has been lively since he was a child, but since his father passed away and she married Wang Dalei, the child has become more and more taciturn.

It's not that Wan Mei didn't notice the changes in her son, and it's not that she didn't care about her son.

She also knew very well that Wang Dalei would beat and scold her son, and once even broke two of his ribs and made him lie in bed for several months.

Since then, his academic performance has plummeted and he can no longer catch up.

Wan Mei knows all this.

She also felt distressed and regretted herself.

But there was nothing she could do.

She couldn't live without Wang Dalei, and she could no longer live the helpless and lonely days she had before.

The pressure and suffering in life left her overwhelmed.

She has completely lost herself and her son.

In the days before and after her son's high school entrance examination, she only called a few times to ask him whether he had returned home, what he ate, where he lived, and whether he had any money. She didn't know anything about it.

She knew she should care.

However, she just thought about it, but she didn't take any actual action at all.

Subconsciously, she was escaping.

If the police hadn't called her, even if she had heard about it elsewhere, she would have probably used overtime as an excuse for not showing up.

Zhao Yuanjing's words made her feel anxious and confused.

She smiled bitterly and said: "You are still young and don't understand things between adults. By the way, are your high school entrance examination results coming out soon? What score did you get? Can you study in high school? If you want to study, I will try my best. For you.”

"No need." Zhao Yuanjing said coldly, "I can make money myself. You don't need to take care of my affairs in the future, and don't come to me for your affairs. It's best not to meet again. Since you are still my guardian, if If anyone else calls you about me in the future, you can refuse to answer."

Wan Mei was shocked: "You kid...are you going to sever ties with me?"

"You can understand it that way." Zhao Yuanjing said calmly, "That's it, you can leave."

"Why should I go? You kid is really... come up quickly and I'll take you home! The older you get, the less sensible you become!"
