After dinner, it was time to stay up for the new year.
The fireplace was burning in the main hall, and the television was on. It was broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala.
Yan Zhengchen, Gong Lu, Shen Liao, and Gu Xian were playing mahjong.
Chi Jiao hugged the little rabbit's pillow and sat on the sofa watching television. Beside her was Quan Jue, Liu Ruhua, and Ou Zhenglin.
Chi Yexi still had work to do. He had a live broadcast to do, so he returned to his room for the time being.
Suddenly …
Quan Jue's phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number.
"I'm going out to take this call," Quan Jue whispered into her ear.
Chi Jiao nodded.
Quan Jue walked out with his phone, and the cold night wind immediately blew on his face.
After he picked up the call, a hoarse and deep male voice came from the other end.
"Quan Jue, it's me."
This voice belonged to Quan Jingzhou.
"What's the matter?" Quan Jue asked coldly.
On the other end of the line, Quan Jingzhou seemed to have been stabbed by his coldness. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "You followed that young lady back to Mount Li?"
"You investigated me again?" Quan Jue's tone was immediately filled with impatience.
"I'm concerned about you. You're my son, and I'm your father," Quan Jingzhou said slowly.
Quan Jue snorted coldly, obviously disdainful.
"Alright, I'm not calling to argue with you. Is there anyone else around you now? "Quan Jingzhou asked.
"Just say it."
"Your mother might still be alive." Quan Jingzhou's deep voice came from the other end of the line.
Quan Jue suddenly gripped his phone tightly as his pupils constricted.
Quan Jingzhou couldn't see his reaction. He sighed and said, "I know you've always hated me for abandoning you and your mother, but I really had no choice back then. If you want to know what happened to your mother, call me after you return from Mount Li. We'll talk about it in detail when we meet. This matter is rather complicated, and it can't be explained over the phone. " “
Quan Jue was silent for a while before giving a faint hum of acknowledgment.
After hanging up, Quan Jue turned to look at the window behind him.
The curtains weren't drawn. Through the window, he could see the others inside.
This New Year's Eve was the most lively night he had ever spent.
Ever since he could remember, every holiday was a torture to him.
When the woman he should have called his mother was alive, she would act like a lunatic every time there was a festival. She would go crazy and smash things at home, scolding everyone who had wronged her, including him.
Every time her mental illness acted up, he was no longer her biological son in her eyes, but an enemy.
Later, when she got into a car accident, he saw with his own eyes that she was declared dead by the doctor and sent to the funeral parlor.
The person who gave him love and endless pain. He should have forgotten her a long time ago, but after so many years, she was like a thorn in his heart that could not be removed.
Now, Quan Jingzhou actually came to tell him that the woman was still alive?
Compared to those distant memories, everything that happened tonight seemed like a dream.
However, he had to wake up from this dream eventually.
The coldness and cruelty of reality still followed him and never left.
Quan Jue stood outside the door and calmed down for a while before returning to the house.
He had just sat down on the sofa when a White Rabbit Creamy Candy was stuffed into his mouth.
It was from Chi Jiao.
"Brother Quan, is it sweet?" Chi Jiao asked with a smile, her dark eyes curved into crescents.
Quan Jue nodded slowly.
It was really sweet.
Her smile was so sweet that it reached his heart.
Fortunately, she was still by his side when he woke up from his dream.
