The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

Ch.346 The Past (3)

After the divorce, Mother Shen married a wealthy businessman who had been fond of her for many years. He seemed to be a fan of hers and he treated her like a precious princess. He was very good to her, and even when he died, he left her a huge amount of inheritance that was enough for her to spend the rest of her life peacefully and happily.

As for Father Shen, in Shen Xiuqi’s memory, it seems that after Mother Shen got married again, he started to lose control. The women around him changed one after another, but in the end there was none who stayed by his side. After playing around for so many years, he was still alone, but now he was both lonely and pitiful, as if it really was like what Su Yaya said, Father Shen was still deeply in love with Mother Shen.

Shen Xiuqi suddenly felt that he seemed to have overlooked some important details. Maybe his father was not as hateful as he seemed, he just did something wrong and bore the consequences.

He couldn’t help but think about the days when he was still a child. At that time, he had such a loving family and a beautiful life, everyday was a joy, but things could never go back to what it once was anymore.

Thinking about these memories, Shen Xiuqi unknowingly took out his phone. It was not until he switched on his phone and found Sun Qin’s phone number that he came to realize what he was doing.

After a pause, he stared at Sun Qin’s phone number, took a deep breath, and dialed the phone number.

The phone rang twice, but Sun Qin didn’t answer, so he had to hang up. He thought to himself that this was probably God’s will.

He smiled bitterly and was about to start working again, but his phone rang at this moment, and he answered the phone without thinking much of it.

Sun Qin’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “What’s wrong? Why did you call me?”

Shen Xiuqi paused, he suddenly choked, and called out, “Mom.”

Sun Qin could tell that there was something wrong with his voice, and asked: “What’s wrong? Did you have a fight with Yaya? If you really did quarrel with Yaya, you have to tell me honestly what happened, I have to judge whether it is your fault or Yaya’s fault before I can consider whether or not to help you.”

Listening to Sun Qin’s energetic voice, Shen Xiuqi’s mood fell. He took a deep breath and said with a flat tone: “Mom, dad was diagnosed with a terminal illness, his days are numbered. I know, I shouldn’t have called you, but he said he wanted to see you. He said that even after so many years, he still never got the chance to apologise to you face to face. Before, he didn’t want to intrude into your new life, but now he’s afraid that he might not get the chance to do so ever again, that’s why he wants to meet you. Can you come and see him?” fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

As soon as his words fell, before he could even hear Sun Qin’s reaction to this, he heard a ding from the other end of the call, Sun Qin simply hung up on the call.

Shen Xiuqi looked at the blackened phone screen with a bitter smile. How could his mother, someone so decisive, possibly forgive his dad?

But before he could ponder on, his phone rang once again, and Shen Xiuqi looked intently at the screen, it was Sun Qin who called back again.

He quickly answered, and Sun Qin said through the phone: “What did you just say, repeat what you just said.”

“Dad was diagnosed with a terminal illness……”

“I’ll be there tomorrow!” Sun Qin’s sharp voice sounded from the phone, and Shen Xiuqi vaguely heard Sun Qin curse through the phone, “Damn it, I told him to live on, he can’t just die without my consent!”
