Huo Tian let out a long sigh. “Mom’s touches feel so good…”
Ding Rong chuckled, then said sadly, “I’ve never coaxed you to sleep throughout your many years of growing up.”
“Did Mom coax Huo You before?”
Ding Rong’s thoughts drifted far away. After a long while, she said, “Youyou was a difficult child to raise when she was young. She didn’t sleep well every night and only slept when someone stood up and cradled her. She tortured your uncle and me a lot.”
Huo Tian snorted unhappily, and Ding Rong immediately patted her reassuringly.
“Tiantian, I always feel that blood ties are an amazing thing. You didn’t grow up by my side, and I didn’t do anything for you. I didn’t coax you to sleep, nor did I bathe you… Why did you accept me without hesitation? Why didn’t you have any resentment and was even willing to face those criminals alone for me?”
“Isn’t it the same for Mom?” Huo Tian blinked and asked, her voice sounding soft but firm. “Mom and I had been separated for 18 years. Didn’t you also accept me without hesitation the moment you saw me and gave me the purest maternal love? When you were kidnapped, you could even trade your death for my life without hesitation.”
Ding Rong’s hand paused and she muttered, “You’re the child I gave birth to after being pregnant with you for ten months.”
“That’s right. You were pregnant with me for ten months before you gave birth to me. We’re related by blood. Isn’t this enough to explain the bond between us?”
Ding Rong smiled. “Tiantian is right. Mom has thought too much into the matter.”
Unlike the loving relationship between the Ding Family’s mother and daughter, the Liu Family next door was in a mess. Liu Jun wanted to seek the comfort of his family, but he only received beatings from both his parents.
Liu Jun burst into tears and swore that he’d become a down-to-earth person in the future, to work steadily, and to never think of becoming an Internet celebrity again. Only then did his parents let him off the hook.
However, the strange thing about fate was that when you desperately wanted to obtain something, it was usually very difficult for you to obtain what you wanted. When you put down your obsession, you would be able to easily obtain the gift from fate.
This saying was very accurate when it came to Liu Jun. After going through a life-and-death experience, Liu Jun had put down all the unrealistic thoughts he had in the past and was prepared to work hard and earn some stable money. It was enough as long as he could live his life in peace.
However, after just one night, when Liu Jun logged into his account and was about to announce his withdrawal from live-streaming, he realized that his account had gained almost four million followers in just one day. The comments by viewers were all concerned about his safety.
When he opened up his social media accounts, almost all social media platforms pushed Liu Jun’s live-stream to the very top. In this era where information was spreading faster and faster and with there being a hot news topic at every moment, the headlines of this kidnapping live-stream not only did not get pushed down, but it also became more and more popular.
Looking at the increasing number of followers and the dozens or hundreds of comments that appeared each time the page was refreshed, Liu Jun was stunned. His hands trembled unconsciously.
“Mom, I’m famous?”
If it were in the past, Liu Jun would definitely not have been able to control his excitement after experiencing something good like becoming an overnight sensation.
In the past, he had thought about what he would do other than becoming an Internet celebrity. Maybe he would cherish his hard-earned account and work hard to make videos that would uphold his image. Maybe he would be like some Internet celebrities, taking advantage of the short-term popularity to desperately take advertisements and business deals to earn quick bucks…
However, after going through a life-and-death situation, Liu Jun’s thoughts had changed. He became much more careful and contacted the police before giving any response.
The police were also worried that this matter was becoming too well-known and it gave the police a lot of pressure. If Liu Jun could give some response to this matter to appease the heated public opinions, it would be a good thing for the police.
However, having the police’s support was not enough. Liu Jun still had to ask for Ding Rong and Huo Tian’s opinions. After all, they were the biggest victims.
When he was about to leave the house, Auntie Liu asked nervously, “Little Jun, where are you going?”
Liu Jun said, “I’ll go to Auntie Ding’s house next door to discuss how to respond to the netizens’ concerns.”
Then, Liu Jun saw that his mother’s expression didn’t seem right. She looked awkward. “Why are you going to her house? Didn’t you suffer enough yesterday?”
Liu Jun was helpless. “Mom, what happened yesterday was just an accident. A group of vicious and evil kidnappers won’t appear at Auntie Ding’s house every day. Now, this matter is too hyped up. The netizens are asking me what’s going on. I’m just going to discuss with them how to explain this to the netizens.”
“Just explain it the way it should be done.. Why do you have to discuss it with them?” Auntie Liu still looked unwilling.
