Promise You a Prosperous Life - C38
I thought about it for a long time after he left, and then I stopped thinking about it. I was so tired these days that I didn’t have the energy to be clear and thorough about anyone else’s words.
The midday sun was very good, shining from above on the large glass of the café, and the soft light from the refraction fell on me again. I sat quietly and closed my eyes, and two streams of tears flowed from the corners of my eyes, I murmured.
“Child, mother has finally taken revenge for you. You can be at ease and reincarnate now.”
Today, I sat in the coffee shop for a long time, until the coffee was hot and hot, and then I left under the waiter’s surprised eyes.
When I came out, I wanted to call Yu Mo and tell him about the great news of Wonse’s arrest, but I had the feeling that the phone line would dilute the joy by keeping them too far apart, so I decided to wait until Yu Mo came home for the rest of the night.
However, from the start of dinner until the moment I went to bed, Yu Mo hadn’t come back. The sound control light in front of my room was turned off. I couldn’t help but rush out, but every time, I would hope to return disappointed.
At eleven o’clock in the evening, I finally couldn’t hold it in any longer. I called Yu Mo, but he hung up the phone.
I was very surprised. What was Yu Mo? Overtime? Or was there an emergency? But either way, can you be too busy to tell me? This was completely different from his usual style.
Later, I fell asleep without realizing it, and when I woke up at two in the morning, I found Yu Mo Yi sleeping on the floor beside me. He thought that it was too late, so I didn’t disturb him and wanted to tell him the good news the next morning.
But the next day, when I opened my eyes, Yu Mo Yi had already left the house. I had no choice but to put this matter aside. During breakfast, I received a phone call. Immediately, my eyes filled with tears of excitement.
The call was from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. They told me that my father had basically found out about the tax evasion, that it was all in vain, that our supermarket had been unsealed, and that I was to go there and handle the formalities.
After so many months, my father was finally clean. He no longer needed to be pointed at after death. My lips quivered, unable to speak. It was a long time before I regained my senses and choked with gratitude.
When I finished the call, I called my mother, who, like me, was crying uncontrollably.
After that, I called Liu Zhipeng. I thought this matter might be of some use when investigating my father’s murder.
I also wanted to tell Yu Mo Yi about it, but taking into account that he might be busy, I decided not to. I wanted to tell him about the child as well.
After that, I went to the Trade and Industry Bureau, signed a few documents, and got over it. Before heading out, I bowed deeply to them, and then, without hesitation, I went to the mental hospital.
At this moment, I miss my mother more than ever. I want to enjoy the rare good times with my mother.
But when I pushed open the door and entered, the expressions of my mother, Gu Cheng Bei, and Zhao Xuefang changed drastically. The next moment, I saw the ‘Entrusted Agreement for the Management of the Chain Supermarket’ that was laid out on the bedside table.
The entrustment agreement was written in a flurry of ten letters. One of the entrustment agreements was signed by his mother, while the other clearly stated the names of Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xuefang.
As expected, they started attacking the moment they had the chance. Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise, by the time they had kept the agreement, it would be too late to say anything more.
I grabbed the agreement in my hand and tore it into pieces in a few seconds. After that, I glared at Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xi Fang.
“When my dad was in trouble, you guys bullied Mom and me time and time again. Now that dad has turned the tables, and you guys are trying to persuade Mom to steal our supermarket, do you guys have any conscience?”
Her lips opened a few times, then she said in an aggrieved tone, “Gu Yan, you’ve misunderstood us. This time, it really wasn’t me and your uncle who suggested it. If you don’t believe me, ask your mother.”
After saying that, Zhao Xuefang looked towards mother for help. I had already seen clearly what kind of people Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xuefang were and was too lazy to see them again. I reached out my hand to push them out, but my mother sternly stopped me.
“Yan’Er, stop it. No matter what, they are your uncles and aunts. What you’re doing is too rude.”
I knew that Mom must have been bewitched by them, so I turned my head to stabilize Mom before telling her what had happened in the past. Mom took the opportunity to give Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xi Fang a meaningful glance, and the two of them quickly left the ward.
Mom pulled me to her bedside, touched my hand and said, “Yan’Er, your aunt is right. I was the one who proposed the agreement, and they were afraid that you would misunderstand. At the beginning, they were unwilling, but I was the one who agreed.”
I was shocked. “Mom, how could you do that? You don’t know how much they go over– ”
Mom stopped me with a hand and told me to sit down again.
“Yan’Er, I’ve been together with them for decades, how can I not understand their temperament? It’s just that Yan’Er, now that dad is gone and mom is sick, how can a girl like you manage a supermarket?” There are a lot of things that are inconvenient, so what’s a bit of money to lose? No matter how bad uncle and aunt are, they are still better than outsiders. After all, the two of you are related by blood. ”
I understood my mother’s good intentions and felt guilty for my rash action. I apologized to my mother, “I’m sorry, Mom. I was too impulsive just now, so I caused you to lose face.”
After saying that, I took a comb and gently combed my mother’s hair. In between, I spoke of my plans for the future of the supermarket.
Mom, running a supermarket requires a lot of money, and we only have one house left in our family, but that was left to us by dad and you probably don’t want to sell it, so we don’t have the ability to let the supermarket run anymore. Right now, the best way is to auction it.
Mom sighed, then nodded in agreement.
With my mother’s permission, I called the most authoritative auction company in the city and arranged to meet up as soon as work began in the afternoon.
Today, my mother and I talked a lot. We reminisced about my father’s beautiful days together. I also said that after my mother woke up, I was so happy that I even laughed in my dreams.
She wanted to stay with me. She wanted to stay with me all the time.
Many years later, every time I recalled this scene, I would still feel warmth in my heart. It was just that I didn’t expect it to be the last time my mother and I had a deep discussion.
After having a luxurious lunch with my mother and seeing my mother fall asleep, I came out.
I went to the auction company at the agreed time, handed over the supermarket’s information and went through the formalities before heading to the supermarket to work.
I was paying the bill when the hospital called and said my mother was gone.
