Su Jin’s mother smiled bitterly and shook her head. If she was that amazing, things wouldn’t have turned out like this. Her two children wouldn’t have suffered so much, especially Su Jin, who had been treated so badly since young by Su Xue and the rest. Su Jin’s life had just turned for the better when she married Xi Chenxiao but still this happened.

Su Jin’s mother replied, “How is Mom amazing?”

“It’s your uncle who’s amazing.”

“Your uncle left home as a youth and worked hard for many years to get to where he is now.”

“Your uncle should be the role model you learn from.”

“Mom’s not your role model.”

All her life, Su Jin’s mother had suffered and faced many dangers for the sake of love. But so what? She wasn’t better off... If she could start over, she wouldn’t be so foolish as to choose such a life again.

Zhang De smiled as he looked at his mother and echoed, “Yes, Uncle is also very amazing.”

“I didn’t expect my uncle to be the mayor.”

Su Jin’s mother looked at Zhang De’s face with a troubled expression. This child was becoming more and more like that person. Sometimes, when Su Jin’s mother saw Zhang De, it was as if she was looking at the younger version of that person. When in a daze, she would sometimes think that Zhang De was that person.

Zhang De’s eyes suddenly lit up as he said proudly, “Mom, you’re saying that people know that my uncle is the mayor?”

“Does that mean that I can get away with bad behavior in future?”

Su Jin’s mother smiled bitterly. What a silly child... If he knew who his biological father was, he would probably be even more shocked. However, she would never tell Zhang De who his biological father was so that he wouldn’t get hurt. Otherwise, Zhang De would face endless pursuit.

Of course, she also couldn’t let her children act too arrogantly, so she replied, “For your own safety, you must learn to protect yourself.”

“Don’t be too ostentatious. So, it’s best not to let anyone know who your uncle is.”

A hint of disappointment flashed across Zhang De’s face when he heard this. He thought that since his uncle was the mayor, he could show off for a bit and no one would dare to bully him. But since his mother said this, he had to be a good son and listen. But who would have such great enmity with his mother?

Zhang De asked in confusion, “Mom, putting aside the fact that I can’t acknowledge my sister, why can’t I acknowledge my uncle too?”

“Who’s after us?”

“Can’t we go to the police?”

Su Jin’s mother’s expression turned serious when she heard this. If going to the police worked, she wouldn’t have gone to the psychiatric hospital back then, and Su Jin wouldn’t have been so badly bullied by Su Xue.

Su Jin’s mother patted Zhang De’s arm to comfort him as she said gently, “My dear son, we can’t win.”

“That person is of high status and authority and has hidden things well. We can’t afford to offend him.”

“It’s even more impossible to capture him.”

Zhang De was a little angry when he heard this. High status and authority? How high can it be? He didn’t believe that anyone was above the law. No one in the world could solve this problem? He couldn’t acknowledge his sister or his uncle. Even his mother had to be hidden away like this.

Zhang De asked with an angry face, “Who is it?”

“Please tell me. I’ll go straight to his house to settle the score.”

Su Jin’s mother did not expect Zhang De to be so impulsive, but she could understand. Not being able to acknowledge his family and having to hide his own identity would crumble anyone over time. But that person had hidden everything so well. There’s absolutely no evidence to prove the things that he had done.

Su Jin’s mother could only answer Zhang De gently, “You’re still a child. What can you do even if you went there?”

“Don’t make a fuss, be good.”

“Be good and go find your uncle.”

“You just need to tell your uncle that Su Jin is in danger.”

“Don’t meddle in the other matters.”

Zhang De couldn’t understand at all why his mother was so afraid. They lived in a lawful society and what couldn’t be exposed with the internet? Why did they have to hide everything? Hadn’t his mother suffered enough hiding all these years? If they continued like this, that person would catch up to them eventually.

Zhang De said angrily to his mother, “Mom, we can’t always be like this.”

“I can call the police, and then bring the police to arrest that person.”

“What could that person do to me in front of the police?”

“Is that person so powerful that he’s not even afraid of the police?”
