Chapter 626: Plot 633 3_1

Lin Xiangwan blinked, the depression and sadness in her heart growing.

She had also imagined someday finding her own mother, a fantasy that often filled her mind during her idle moments.

But she had never expected it to happen, and Ji Sen’s words had offered her a glimmer of hope.

Yet the fact that Ji Sen’s mother had turned out to be so terrible was discouraging.

"Do you want to see her? What does she look like, what did she tell you, why did she abandon you in the first place, and how did she find out you are her son?" Lin Xiangwan asked, a flurry of incongruent questions spilling out all at once.

Ji Sen remained silent for a good while before he responded. "I’m not sure when she saw the birthmark on my back, but she had a childhood photo of me with the same mark. She said she had no choice at the time - being unmarried and pregnant, she decided to throw me away!"

"But didn’t you say both of your parents were gone? How is it she suddenly appeared?" Lin Xiangwan asked, perplexed.

"Who knows, the story of our origins was always a mystery!"

"Where is she from? Is she currently in city B?"

"Yes!" Ji Sen nodded. "But I have no intention of acknowledging her. I’ve been doing just fine all these years without parents to rely on. Why would I accept her now?"

"Why did she accumulate gambling debts?"

Ji Sen let out a burp, mumbling vaguely. "She said a lot. It wasn’t her fault, but her husband’s!"

"How much money did she owe?"

"Twenty-something thousand. Some men are after her, wanting her life!"

Even without asking too much, Lin Xiangwan could sense just how disappointed Ji Sen was with his mother.

Orphans, like them, mostly understand that their parents probably aren’t good people - who abandons their own child after all?

But they would fantasize, dreaming that their parents were heroes and that, due to various reasons, they ended in an orphanage. They further hoped for wealthy and beautiful parents to eventually find them, taking them home, and drawing envy from their peers.

As they grew older, this dream had slowly started to fade, but the hope that their parents would at least be good people remained.

Now, Ji Sen’s mother wasn’t even close to being considered a good person. How could he accept this?

Ji Sen inhaled a deep breath, giving a bitter smile. "My mom really looked the part of a gambler - skinny, with a gray complexion, always in shabby clothes. You could tell she used to be quite attractive in her youth, but she simply ruined herself!"

"Do you have enough money? If not, I can lend you some."

Ji Sen snorted with laughter. "Sis, don’t underestimate me, OK? Just twenty-something thousand, it’s really nothing to me!"

"OK then, you are at an age when you should be thinking about getting married. Don’t squander all your money away; save some for your future..." Lin Xiangwan was really concerned.

"I know. I won’t give her all my money. Just this once as a token of gratitude for her giving birth to me. But next time, I will absolutely not assist her!" Ji Sen justified with utmost rationality.

Lin Xiangwan nodded. "As harsh as it may sound, that’s just the reality."

"Yes!" Ji Sen grabbed a drink. "Join me!"

"Agreed!" Lin Xiangwan poured a glass for him and one for herself. "I must state the rules first. After this drink, you go to sleep and I go home."

"What for? Look down on me, thinking I can’t hold my liquor, do you?"

"Cut it out, what does it matter to me whether you get drunk or not? I’m just tired, after all these days..."

"Let’s do this then. I know you can handle your liquor, so why don’t you help me get drunk? Then I can sleep soundly and you stay here tonight. Don’t go home!"

"Come on then!" Lin Xiangwan clinked her glass against his.

After the second drink, then the third, Lin Xiangwan decided it was time to call it a night for him.

Before the fourth drink could be had, Ji Sen eventually fell asleep.

Two younger brothers helped Ji Sen back to his room. Lin Xiangwan followed behind, removing his shoes and wiping his face for him.

Ji Sen was well-behaved even when drunk, never losing control.

Once down, he would just sleep, throwing up at most one time, which was quite a rare occurrence.

Just as she sat down to rest, Qin Muchuan called her again. "Where are you?"

His tone was quite commanding, as if he had caught an unfaithful wife.

Lin Xiangwan smirked, "What’s it to you?"

Qin Muchuan frowned. "Why wouldn’t I care? I’m worried about you. I’m downstairs at your place, but your house is dark!"

So, he did care after all.

Lin Xiangwan calmed down, answering peacefully. "I’m at Ji Sen’s place. He was in a bad mood today and drank a lot. I just settled him down and was about to leave."

"How will you get home?" asked Qin Muchuan.

"One of his brothers will escort me!" Lin Xiangwan whispered.

Qin Muchuan frowned. "You’re actually letting a ruffian send you home, aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Don’t speak of them that way. Just because they’ve chosen a less trodden path doesn’t mean they are bad people!" Lin Xiangwan corrected. "They’ve really been good to me!"

Are they as good to you as I am?

Qin Muchuan mumbled in his heart. "Wait for me outside the bar, I’ll drive over to pick you up!"

"You can drive?"

"You don’t need to worry about it!"

Qin Muchuan is not the type to show off carelessly. He had drunk quite a bit earlier, but then he had rested for a while in the tea house. Now there was no problem.

How could Lin Xiangwan not worry? "Isn’t your driver available?"

"No!"

Actually, he had been driven home by his driver, who was then given the rest of the day off.

Now there was no driver available.

Lin Xiangwan rolled her eyes, this man made her dizzy. "How about I drive you instead?"

"Haha..." Qin Muchuan burst into laughter. "Looks like you really think I’m drunk, don’t you? Even trying to trick me!"

"You’re really okay?"

"Relax!"

After ten or so minutes, Lin Xiangwan, standing outside the bar, saw a car pull over.

It was a limited-edition business vehicle, new, but she could feel his presence in the car.

Even without knowing his license plate, she would know it was his.

Lin Xiangwan bid goodbye to the young brother who had specially accompanied her out to wait and ran over to Qin Muchuan’s car.

Qin Muchuan, who was sitting in the car, still had a very unpleasant expression on his face. "Did I call you over? You just ran over here without asking, what if it was someone trying to harm you?"

"I knew it was you!" Lin Xiangwan replied innocently. "Why would I get into someone else’s car?"

"Still answering back!"

"Hehe..." She laughed. "Are you okay to drive, or should I instead?"

Qin Muchuan moved closer to her, taking a deep whiff of her breath. "You’ve been drinking so much, you’ve likely had no less than me!"

"Oh, right!" Lin Xiangwan finally came to this realization.

Qin Muchuan stayed close to her, sniffing her scent.

As he inhaled, he found it more and more intoxicating. "Wanwan..."

"Hmm?"
