Chapter 345: Reflection

Various Places

Hao Ren turned back to see his father and the large Manor that he had dreamt of owning. He had strived to be the heir before, knowing that his background was not an advantage, so he worked harder than what was expected of him.

Hao Ren's mother was crying unceasingly at his side, gripping his right arm to stop him from moving, "Don't go. Don't leave me again! If you go, Hao Chen will inherit everything, and you would be left with nothing! The hard work that I have put on you to achieve what you dreamt of will be useless!"

He knew that his mother was not the best woman nor the greatest, but Hao Ren had loved her. Yet, listening to her ramble on and on about the money that they can't take annoyed Hao Ren. What was the difference between his mother and Ye Lan? Well, his mother at least knew how to stick to one man... or did she? Hao Ren shook his head while prying his mother's grip around his arm.
