Chapter: 954

Xiao Changkun let out a deep breath: "That's also true, this child is filial and too filial. The key is foolish filial piety! Is your mom's kind of person worth her being so filial? You have no blood relationship with her, you yourself say that if your mother was like this, would you still be filial to her?"

Leaf Chen felt a bit awkward and melancholic: "If my mom were still alive, even though she has a worse personality than your mother-in-law, I would be willing to do so one hundred times."

"This is true." Xiao Changkun looked embarrassed: "Sorry about that, Dad shouldn't bring it up. Let me use myself as an example instead. You see, your mom's grandmother and her mother are basically the same in terms of character and temperament. They're just two old ladies who gossip behind each other's backs."

As they reached this point, Xiao Changkun finished his cup of wine and spoke seriously: "So you see, I'm not foolishly filial. My mother does things that are wrong, but I won't let her live with me on the streets. Why? We need to have a correct sense of right and wrong. It's not because she's your mom; if she killed someone, would you still protect her, right or wrong?"

"Leaf Chen nodded slightly: 'You're right.'"

Xiao Changkun sighed and said, "In fact, your life is much better than mine. You married a good girl like Xiao Ran, even if you're not successful, she won't leave you. If I were like you, marrying someone who's hard to get along with, my daily life would be unbearable."

Leaf Chen looked at Xiao Changkun's pitiful expression and felt a little sympathetic towards him. This old fellow has had it tough his whole life, originally having a sweet first love and being in love with the girl, only to have Ma Lan ruin everything for them.

At this point, Leaf Chen casually asked, "Dad, tell me about your story with Xiao Meiqing? I heard some of our classmates talking about it at our gathering last time. It felt like quite an epic tale."

"What's epic about it?" Xiao Changkun lamented and said, "Back then, Xiao Meiqing and I were planning to get married after graduation. At the time, going abroad was still difficult, but she had some connections that allowed her family to send us both to the US for further studies. We planned to graduate first, have a wedding, and then go to the US together to pursue our master's degrees..."

As he said this, Xiao Changkun became angry and said, "Who would have thought that just as we were about to graduate, everyone was gathered, and I got drunk! When I woke up, my mother-in-law had already......"

"Hey......" Xiao Changkun covered his face and said, "Ma Lan is also a clever one. At the time, she told Xiao Meiqing everything, which made Xiao Meiqing very angry. Xiao Meiqing was direct, writing me a breakup letter and then packing her bags to go to the US alone. From that point on, I never saw her again."

Leaf Chen asked curiously, "Didn't you explain anything to her?"

"Fine, I'm done." Xiao Changkun said: "No matter how I explain it, my situation with Ma Lan was really real. Han Meiqing herself has a cleanliness obsession, her life has cleanliness obsessions, her emotions have cleanliness obsessions, she also knew I was drunk and designed by Ma Lan, but she felt she had already accepted that about me, so without hesitation broke off the relationship and then went to the US."

Leaf Chen asked him casually: "So you're still thinking of her in your heart?"

Xiao Changkun opened up the conversation, lamenting: "I am, how can I not think of her? She was my first woman in this lifetime, the only one I loved, otherwise I wouldn't have changed my phone password to her birthday......"

Leaf Chen nodded understandingly and asked again: "Have you been keeping track of what she's been up to?"

"I've kept track," Xiao Changkun said. "But there's not much to find out about. A few years ago, I only heard that she got married to an American in the US, had a child, and according to rumors, her family conditions are very good, but nobody knows more than that, because our old classmates didn't keep in touch with her either."

Leaf Chen nodded slightly, thinking to herself: "If Han Meiqing knew Xiao Changkun was now like this, she probably wouldn't feel the same way about him as before."

Just then, Xiao Changkun noticed Leaf Chen wasn't drinking and scolded: "Good son-in-law, why aren't you having a couple of drinks? Just leaving me to drink alone?"

Leaf Chen smiled, put down his wine glass, and said: "Okay, okay, I'll join you in a cup."

Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Changkun's phone suddenly rang.

"What's this unknown number showing on my phone? Who would be calling me?" he said, furrowing his brow in surprise.

As he did so, he accidentally pressed the answer button.

On the other end, a woman's gentle voice rang out, probingly asking, "Is that Xiao Changkun?"

Xiao Changkun's whole person froze in shock, asking anxiously, "You... who are you..." JrNovels.com
