Chapter 230 - 230 Escape
230 Escape
Chen En’s parents were getting a divorce.
Mrs. Chen did not want to tell the child at first, but it was Chen En’s Sister who told her.
Chen En’s Sister had always hated this so-called mother of hers. She felt she was a useless flower vase who only knew how to eat for free and waste money. This time, she complained about the long journey and the hasty decision to go home. She was annoyed by Mrs. Chen’s voice.
However, Chen En’s father fell ill a few days after she arrived in Taiwan. He needed someone to take care of him every day, and Mrs. Chen was overwrought with work.
It turned out it was not because of the company’s matters, but because of his own physical problems.
Chen En’s Sister had sharp eyes. She could tell what Mrs. Chen was planning. “Your mother is going to run away with the money.” She has never wanted this family.
Mrs. Chen was indeed in a state of confusion recently.
She didn’t have a job. The only thing she could do was to follow the nanny and check on Mr. Chen’s condition every day, then serve him tea and water, and listen to his orders. Under the circumstances of not being able to do anything, she could at least be a good wife.
Only at night did she have the time to sort out her thoughts and think about what to do next. She couldn’t fall asleep at the thought of it. She didn’t have much energy during the day and walked like a zombie.
During this period of time, Mrs. Chen was visibly haggard. With so much pressure on her, she didn’t have the time to care about the child. Chen En followed behind the nanny every day and handled his own matters.
Chen En was still young, so he did not know what all this meant. He only felt his mother getting colder and colder toward him as if she did not want him anymore.
He didn’t have any friends he could trust in Taiwan, so his first reaction was to call Liang Chu.
“Liang Chu, what should I do? I’ve become a child that no one wants,” Chen En said in a sobbing tone.
Chuchu was shocked. She had never experienced such a situation before. It was already the summer break, and she and her mother had planned to fly to Taiwan in August to visit Chen En. Now, all their plans had probably been dashed.
Chuchu’s mind was spinning. She tried to calm Chen En down as her mother did. “Don’t be anxious. There will be people who want you. You still have me.”
If it was not possible, Chen En could stay at their house. The house was huge, and there were two guest rooms on the second floor. If Chen En wanted to stay, there would definitely be room for him to stay.
Chuchu did not have any way to resolve Chen En’s sadness, so she could only tell him something that would make him happy. “My younger sister has gone to school too. I think she’ll come back crying today.”
Chen En laughed dryly.
Only then did Chu Chu realize how serious the matter was.
In the past, Chen En would laugh for a long time no matter how lame her jokes were.
“Don’t worry, Chen En. It’ll be fine. My mother will help you,” she comforted. Her mother was so powerful. She would definitely have a way to deal with Chen En.
At this moment, Chuchu realized her mother had been back for a long time. She quickly called her mother over.
Qu Zhi hugged her in her arms. “What’s wrong, baby?”
On the other end of the line, Chen En started to cry again. “Auntie.”
“What’s the matter, Chen En? Please don’t cry.” Qu Zhi asked. she guessed something must have happened to Mrs. Chen. They had not been in contact for a while.
Chen En sobbed as he finished his story. Then, his sister snatched the phone from him and hung up.
“What are you doing!” this was the first time Chen En had spoken so loudly to his sister.
“Look at you, you’re more girly than a girl.” His sister left her bag downstairs and ran upstairs without even looking at Chen En.
Only then did Qu Zhi think of calling Mrs. Chen. The other party’s phone rang for a long time before the call connected. The voice that came through was weak. “President Qu? It’s been a long time.”
Mrs. Chen seemed to have aged a lot. Her voice was hoarse, and her laughter was strange as if she was mocking herself.
“I really don’t know what to do. He’s sick. I’m afraid we’ll have to get a divorce.”
Qu Zhi’s heart skipped a beat. As the saying goes, true love is revealed in times of need, Mrs. Chen is…
She couldn’t help but gasp.
Hearing Qu Zhi’s hesitation, Mrs. Chen smiled bitterly. “I was forced to do this.”
