Keeping the promise

Chapter 234 Acting on Your Heart

Not long after, Li Qian hurried to Li Yunting's office.

"Mr. Li, I found out. Zheng Zichun has a son named Zheng Zihui and a husband named Xiao Yuzhou. They are mysterious foreign investors, and Zheng Zichun and her husband hold shares in the holding group." Li Qian reported in one breath.

As Li Yunting listened to Li Qian's report, his brows furrowed even more tightly, his fingers kept tapping on the table, and his doubts grew deeper and deeper.

"Keep investigating. I want to know more details, especially about her past experiences." Li Yunting ordered.

"Yes, Mr. Li." Li Qian responded, turned around and immersed himself in further investigation.

When Zheng Zihui got home from school, he could tell at a glance that his mother, Zheng Wancheng, was not in a good state today. She sat on the sofa, her eyes wandering, and her face looked a little pale.

Zheng Zihui put down his schoolbag, walked over to sit next to Zheng Wancheng, and asked with concern: "Mom, I see you are not in a good state today, did something happen to you?"

Zheng Wancheng turned around and looked at her grown-up and sensible son, and she couldn't help but sigh. She thought for a moment and felt that the child was now grown up and had the right to know some things, so there was no need to hide it from him.

Zheng Wancheng sighed softly and said slowly: "Zihui, Mom saw your dad today."

When Zheng Zihui heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Zheng Wancheng went on to say, "So many years have passed. I thought our meeting would be uneventful, but I didn't expect that we would meet again, and it would be like this..." Her eyes revealed complex emotions, including resentment and a hint of imperceptible nostalgia.

Zheng Zihui held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, what are you thinking now?"

Zheng Wancheng smiled bitterly and said, "Mom doesn't know either, but this encounter made Mom feel very confused."

Zheng Zihui comforted her: "Mom, no matter what, I will always be by your side."

Zheng Wancheng hugged his son with emotion, feeling a sense of warmth and comfort in his heart.

Zheng Wancheng gently stroked her son Zheng Zihui's head, her eyes full of complicated emotions, and she slowly said, "Zihui, Mom knows that there may have been a misunderstanding. But when Mom saw her husband lying in someone else's bed, at that moment, my world collapsed and my heart broke into countless pieces. Mom still can't forget that kind of pain and despair."

Zheng Zihui listened quietly, his eyes filled with heartache.

Zheng Wancheng took a deep breath and continued, "Mom couldn't face that situation at the time. She couldn't forgive the man who once said he would love me forever for betraying our vows. So, Mom chose to fake her death with you to escape, wanting to leave that place full of painful memories and start a new life."

Her voice trembled a little, tears welled up in her eyes: "For so many years, Mom has tried her best to give you the best life and to be strong. But now that I'm back, Mom realized that our meeting was inevitable. It was an unavoidable fate. Mom shouldn't be so selfish and only consider her own feelings. She didn't think that you might also need your father's company to grow up."

Zheng Zihui held Zheng Wancheng's hand tightly and said, "Mom, don't say that. Everything you did was to protect me. I understand."

Zheng Wancheng shook her head, tears finally falling: "Son, it is your mother who is sorry for you. You have not enjoyed the complete love of your father since you were a child."

Zheng Zihui gently wiped away Zheng Wancheng's tears with his hands and said firmly: "Mom, no matter what happens, I will always support your decision." Zheng Zihui looked at his mother with tears streaming down her face, his heart filled with pity.

His eyes were firm and full of tenderness, and he said sincerely, "Mom, don't think like that. In my heart, I only recognize you as my mother. From childhood to adulthood, the love you have given me is enough and full, so much that I feel extremely lucky and happy. I have never felt that you owed me anything, really."

Zheng Zihui paused, tightened his grip on Zheng Wancheng's hand, and continued, "Mom, you have given so much to me over the years, and I have seen it all and remembered it in my heart. Now, I have grown up and have my own judgment and ideas. I just hope that you can act according to your heart and not have so many concerns and worries. No matter what decision you make, I will stand firmly by your side, support you, and accompany you."

Zheng Wancheng's tears flowed even harder as she listened to her son's heartwarming words, but these tears were no longer filled with only pain and confusion, but more with emotion and relief.

She hugged Zheng Zihui tightly and said with tears in her eyes, "Son, having you is the greatest blessing in my life."
