Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

"Father, Mother, where have you been? I've been waiting for you here all day, and you're only just coming back."

Wang Youyi's voice was filled with questioning and dissatisfaction.

On New Year's Eve, while every household was celebrating at home, he spent the whole day waiting at the entrance of the residential compound, suffering from hunger and cold. Now his entire leg is numb.

Wang Xuemin and Fang Xiurong then realized that the person waiting at the entrance of the family compound was their son.

The couple's originally gentle expressions instantly turned cold.

Wang Xuemin frowned: "No one asked you to wait here. If you don't have anything else to do, you should go back now!"

Fang Xiurong kept a cold face and didn't say a word from beginning to end, looking at her son as if he were a stranger.

Upon hearing this, Wang Youyi could no longer hold back.

"Father, Mother, I'm your own son! Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Back then, I was forced into it. If I hadn't treated you that way, your daughter-in-law and grandson would have been sent to the countryside just like you. How could you bear to implicate your own grandson?"

"Just because I protected my child, you became heartless and even disowned me, your son. How can there be such cruel parents in the world?"

When Wang Xuemin and Fang Xiurong heard Wang Youyi's words, they felt utterly disheartened. Although they had given up all hope, they still found his words laughable.

Before their accident, Wang Youyi's family enjoyed their protection and the benefits they brought them, so why didn't they complain at the time?

They were in trouble, and I was afraid of being implicated.

They are truly failures; they can't even teach their own child.

Wang Xuemin knew that Fang Xiurong was in poor health. During the years she was sent to the countryside, she lived in bad conditions. In the summer, the house was damp and leaky, and in the winter, it was cold and drafty. She did the hardest work every day, but ate the worst food.

If it weren't for Fei Huainan's occasional subsidies, the couple might not have survived to this day.

They were originally scholars, unable to carry heavy loads, making farm work extremely difficult for them. Coupled with poor conditions, Fang Xiurong suffered from a persistent cough throughout the winter.

There was no way to buy medicine back then, so I developed a chronic illness.

Even though he no longer coughs, he is getting old and his health is not good, so the doctors advise him to be careful.

Now, Wang Xuemin makes sure his wife eats on time every day, and since their lives have improved, she can occasionally eat some meat to nourish herself, which has made her health much better.

As a result, Wang Youyi inexplicably appeared and said a lot of sarcastic remarks, which immediately made him frown.

“I told you not to appear in front of me. I don’t have a son like you. Since you severed ties with us back then, then it’s better to sever them completely.”

"This is my last warning to you: don't show your face in front of us again. Get out."

After saying that, he went to see his wife.

The couple turned to leave.

Wang Youyi's eyes widened. In the past, his parents always said such things, but he never thought that his parents would really not forgive him.

After all, he's their only son, and they'll have to rely on him when they get old.

So he is confident.

He felt that even if he did what he did back then, it wouldn't matter. As long as he apologized to the old couple and gave them a way out, they would forgive him.

Tonight, on New Year's Eve, he came here hoping to mend his relationship with his parents, but he didn't expect them to tell him to get lost as soon as they met.

OK OK.

Wang Youyi's face turned cold.

“You only have one son, and you’ll all be relying on me to support you in your old age. I advise you to stop now. I won’t keep giving you chances.”

Wang Xuemin didn't want to pay attention to Wang Youyi and was about to leave with his wife when Fang Xiurong suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Wang Youyi.

The other person's face, which bore a six or seven-point resemblance to Wang Xuemin's, carried a ferocious expression, and his eyes were filled with irritation.

When he saw her looking over, he adopted a haughty air, as if to say, "See? I knew you'd have to rely on me in the future."

Fang Xiurong thought to herself, "This child was so cute when he was first born. He always talked about his parents."

Both parents are busy with their research work, so their child is often left alone at home with the nanny.

Throughout the year, the days when the family can reunite are few and far between. At first, things were alright, and the child still knew to look for his mother.

But as he grew older, he became more and more rebellious. Fang Xiurong felt that she had neglected her child, so she took a leave of absence to take care of him at home.

He started out very well-behaved and obedient, until the time of his marriage, when the mother and son had their first major argument.

The reason was that he wanted to marry the nanny's daughter.

Fang Xiurong had no prejudice against social class, but she knew that her son was not close to her back then because the nanny always said in front of him that his parents didn't want him and didn't like him.

She fired him.

At the time, Wang Youyi cried and refused, but she did not soften her heart. After some time, he seemed to have come to his senses and stopped celebrating his birthday. They resumed their mother-son relationship.

But it wasn't until her wedding day that she realized her son had been putting on an act all this time.

He never broke off contact with the nanny, and even took money from her and then gave it to the nanny's family.

Later, she disagreed with the two getting married, but Wang Youyi defied her and secretly got a marriage certificate with the nanny's daughter.

At that time, she was extremely disappointed in her son. She was also very puzzled, as neither she nor Wang Xuemin were such selfish and cold-hearted people. How did Wang Youyi become like this?

Now, hearing his remarks, I find them even more ridiculous.

Her voice was very soft: "So, you think I gave birth to you because I wanted you to take care of me in my old age, is that right?"

Wang Youyi didn't know why Fang Xiurong suddenly brought this up. He frowned, but his first reaction was negative.

He might not be sure about other things, but he knew his own parents' character well; they definitely didn't raise children for their own retirement.

But so what?

"Whether it's for retirement or not, when you get old, won't I be the one to take care of you?"

Fang Xiurong shook her head: "No need, we have nothing to do with each other anymore, why would I let you take care of me in my old age?"

“I used to think that I was too busy with work, so I neglected your education.”

"I'm only realizing now that maybe this is just the kind of person you are at heart."

“Wang Youyi, I, Fang Xiurong, swear to God today that I do not need you, Wang Youyi, to support me in my old age. Even if I starve to death on the roadside one day, I will not ask your family for a single bite to eat.”

"Don't worry, I will never ask you for help. If that day ever comes, I will kill myself. If I break this oath, may Fang Xiurong suffer a terrible death."

Wang Xiurong spoke each word with firmness and seriousness, her expression as resolute as when she chose to become a researcher.

Upon hearing this, Wang Youyi took a step back. He was wearing a military overcoat from later generations, and after standing up, his blood flow returned to normal.

But at this moment, he felt as if all the heat in his body had been sucked away.

He stared in shock at his own mother, seeing indifference in her eyes for the first time.
