Chapter 234: Chapter 41: Upsetting_2

Xiao Zhang was startled by the words and honestly replied, "Yes, my parents passed away when I was ten."

"What illness did they have?" Han Kuang asked curiously.

He had heard from Xiao Mao last time that Xiao Zhang was very filial and had even gone back to repair his parents’ graves. Thinking about his own unfilial son, he sought some comfort in other people’s stories.

"No, that year my Uncle wanted to build a house, and the whole group went up to the mountain to chop trees. The trees on our mountain were as thick as washbasins, very sturdy, much more reliable than any steel-reinforced concrete. At that time, my Uncle’s cousin was coming down from the mountain, couldn’t steady his strength, and two trees fell down. It looked like they were going to hit me, but my parents rushed to shield me. It was because of this that my Uncle’s family supported me until I became an adult." Speaking of his own parents, Xiao Zhang’s eyes couldn’t help but redden.

Han Kuang was somewhat embarrassed, and his heart felt uncomfortable. Other people’s parents had given their lives for their son, and what about him? He had almost cost his own son’s life.

No wonder his son didn’t even ask him to come when moving house.

So, Han Kuang found no comfort at all, and felt even more suffocated.

Han Shouyi entered from outside and saw him still drinking tea and was puzzled, "Dad, how come you haven’t had dinner yet?"

"Mr. Han said he wasn’t hungry," Xiao Zhang said, somewhat torn.

He was a little confused; Mr. Han usually ate his meals on time, who would’ve known that today he suddenly said he "wasn’t hungry."

Han Shouyi was taken aback, realizing what day it was, and then understood, "Mom and Dong Fei haven’t come out yet?"

"They?" Han Kuang gave a cold snort and fell silent.

Han Shouyi understood, ever since he mentioned he wanted to change his surname to Liu, his mother and Dong Fei had started to make trouble, firmly disagreeing, and now they were still in their room, trying to force him into submission by fasting.

But what they didn’t know was he had made up his mind, whether they agreed or not couldn’t change anything.

His mother thought that changing from the Han surname to the obscure Liu surname was foolish, but after hearing about his maternal grandfather’s deeds from his relatives, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the Liu surname.

His maternal grandfather might have been a humble figure, but he was a person worth respecting, and he was very willing to add his surname before his name.

To say that he didn’t care about their lives would be a lie, one of them was the mother who had given birth to him, and the other was the wife who had borne him a son. Even if they were wrong, he could not possibly truly want their deaths. But knowing them as he did, how could he not know that their "fasting" now had how much sincerity?

"I’ve already applied for the house, and I’ll take Longlong to move in tomorrow." He hadn’t saved much over the years, but after all, he was a military researcher and was originally entitled to housing; it was just that before he felt there was no need to apply for it, plus his father had also given him some money this time, setting up his own household was not a problem.

Han Kuang looked at him and said wearily, "It’s up to you to make your own decision."

He suddenly felt somewhat lost. In his entire life, had he really been worthy of his children? Leaving Shoulu aside, Shouxin, and Shouzhen, even Shoulu, burdened with the identity of an illegitimate child, where could he find ease in the future?

Han Shouyi did not understand why his father suddenly became silent, but still said what he wanted to say, "Dad, are you free tomorrow morning? I hope you can accompany me to the civil affairs bureau to change my surname."

"... Okay, I’ll go with you."

Lin Xiaoguai slept very well on the first night in her new home, and thus her mood was also very good when she stepped out the door. However, this good mood was quickly spoiled by someone.

"How come you are here!?" Lu Rong pointed at her, full of indignation.

Lin Xiaoguai was silent; shouldn’t that be her line? Just stepping out of her new home, to see what she thought was a person she had gotten rid of, could there be anything more vexing?

She pursed her lips and turned to leave.

Lu Rong stuck out her foot to block her path, casting a gloomy glance at her, and pointed to the house behind her, "What’s your relationship with these people?"

Uncle Yu had said that the people who moved in across the street had significant backing, telling her to seize the opportunity. She was a bit reluctant at first; after all, she was still hung up on Lin Xiaoguai’s husband. Who would’ve thought that she’d see Lin Xiaoguai coming out of that house, feeling both angry and pleased?

Angry because Lin Xiaoguai had such a good man yet cheated, pleased because if Lin Xiaoguai cheated, did that mean she had a chance?

—Only to say, many people like to assume others are like themselves.

Since she had just visited Lin Xiaoguai’s home not long ago, she hadn’t expected Lin Xiaoguai to live here.

Lin Xiaoguai didn’t know her thoughts; otherwise, she would have been disgusted. Even so, she was not much more comfortable, her brow furrowed as she glanced at her, "What’s it to you?"

After speaking, she didn’t wait for the other’s furious reaction and quickly walked away.

Her avoidance, in Lu Rong’s view, became a sign of guilt, and she suddenly became excited.

"I’ll show you for looking down on people, for getting me fired, this time, I will definitely snatch your man and raise your little bastard as a slave!"

Lin Xiaoguai’s face still looked poor even upon returning to her dormitory.

"What’s wrong? Who upset you?" Yang Xiaoli, who was watering the flowers on the windowsill brought by Lin Xiaoguai, couldn’t help but ask.

"Who else but Lu Rong," Lin Xiaoguai said irritably.

She had a feeling that it wasn’t over yet.

"Lu Rong?" Zhu Huixi looked shocked, "Wasn’t she expelled? How come she’s back at school?"

Yang Xiaoli also looked over with curiosity.

"It wasn’t at school that I ran into her," Lin Xiaoguai sighed, "I moved to a new place, but running into her right out the door in the morning, talk about bad luck, right?"

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Zhu Huixi sympathized.

Yet Yang Xiaoli frowned and said what Lin Xiaoguai had been worrying about, "Lu Rong is not from the Capital, why would she remain here after being expelled?"

"I don’t know, but she must have relatives in the Capital." Saying this, Lin Xiaoguai recounted the visit from Lu Rong and Huang Xue Mei.

"What a shameless act!" Zhu Huixi said angrily, grinding her teeth.

But Yang Xiaoli expressed Lin Xiaoguai’s concern, "You said you ran into her as soon as you stepped outside. Could it be that she’s living near your home now?" (To be continued.
