Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot - Chapter 646

Chapter 646: 218: Abuse a scumbag, their face will turn pale_3
 

Mother Lu first pinched herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming, then immediately went forward to embrace Jason Wycof, “Second child! It really is you!”

Jason Wycof had been too busy with work, and Mother Lu hadn’t seen her son for almost a year. Knowing that her son’s job was special and that he had to serve the people, she rarely called him, fearing that it would put pressure on him. As a mother, she wholeheartedly supported her son’s work and didn’t want to hold him back.

Seeing his mother like this, Jason Wycof felt somewhat guilty, as there was no greater regret in life than not being there for one’s own parents.

It seemed that he would have to set aside more time in the future to be with his mother.

“Mom.”

“Come on, come on,” Mother Lu, gripping Jason Wycof’s hand tightly and almost unable to close her mouth from happiness, said, “Come with me. I’ll make you your favorite braised pork.”

“Alright,” Jason Wycof laughed. “I’ve been craving your braised pork.”

Mother Lu continued, “I’ll make extra today, so you can take some back with you.”

“I won’t be going back tonight, I plan to stay with you for a few days.”

Hearing this, Mother Lu asked incredulously, “Really?”

“Mm-hmm,” Jason Wycof nodded.

Mother Lu asked further, “What about your work matters?”

“Don’t worry, Mom,” Jason Wycof laughed. “I’ve arranged everything.”

“That’s good,” Mother Lu finally relaxed. Returning to the house, she busied herself preparing food for Jason Wycof, as well as pouring water for him.

Jason Wycof said, “Mom, I’m at home, I can get anything I want to eat or drink myself. Go make that braised pork, I want to taste your cooking right away.”

Hearing this, Mother Lu was filled with happiness, “Alright, I’ll make it now.”

Old folks, they enjoy the feeling of being needed.

Mother Lu went to the kitchen to prepare the braised pork.

Jason Wycof wandered around the small courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years had passed, and the courtyard had hardly changed, but the people had come and gone.

Not long after, Mother Lu came out of the kitchen, smiling, with two dogs bouncing behind her. Jason Wycof asked, “Mom, where are you going?”

As Mother Lu walked along, she replied, “I’m going to Mr. Bryant’s house to borrow a piece of ginger, we’re out of ginger at home.”

“Okay,” Jason Wycof nodded, squatted down, and called out, “Big Yellow, Little Yellow, come here.”

Mother Lu said, “Go on, go to your brother.”

Jason Wycof: “…” Well, now he’s on equal footing with the dogs.

Big Yellow and Little Yellow immediately ran over quickly.

Actually, before this, Jason Wycof didn’t like dogs very much and even felt an aversion to them.

But now, not at all.

He smiled, patting the two dogs’ heads.

“Big Yellow, Little Yellow, lie down.”

Big Yellow and Little Yellow raised their heads, looking at Jason Wycof with a confused expression.

Jason Wycof judged, “You two are so dumb, even dumber than Mantou.”

On the other side, Mother Lu arrived at her neighbor’s house, smiling and asking, “Is Mr. Bryant in?”

Mr. Bryant replied, “He’s home!”

Mother Lu looked inside the hall, “Oh, Sunny is back today too, it’s really lively at your place!”

Mr. Bryant said, “Yeah, our Sunny may not be particularly successful, but he’s always been filial and visits us two often.”

These words, if reflected upon, implied that Mother Lu had raised two ungrateful children, given how infrequently they came to visit her.

On any other occasion, Mother Lu would have felt secretly hurt, but not today.

As Mr. Bryant continued, “By the way, Auntie, don’t just stand there, come in and have a seat.”

“No, no,” Mother Lu declined with a smile. “I just came to see if you have any ginger. You see, my second child is back. He said he wants to eat my braised pork, but we’ve run out of ginger at home, so I thought I’d come over and see.”

Mr. Bryant looked surprised, “Your second child is back?”

Jason Wycof was the most successful of all the children in their alley. He had been admitted to a prestigious university in Country Yolta and had studied abroad for six years. Just as everyone thought he wouldn’t return, planning to stay overseas and develop his career, Jason Wycof made a decision that surprised them all: he resolutely returned to his homeland, embarked on an official career, and persevered aside from his talent.

“Yes,” Mother Lu nodded.

Mr. Bryant smiled, “Finally, your second child is back. Wait a moment, Auntie, I’ll go get some ginger for you.”

Mother Lu followed Mr. Bryant’s footsteps.

As Mr. Bryant continued to ask, “By the way, did your second child bring back a daughter-in-law this time?”
