"Sob... I... I know... it’s my fault, Xiao Huan..."

Yan Huan actually wasn’t on the same wavelength as them at all.

Yan Huan’s head was filled with the conflict between past memories and present reality, a feeling as surreal as a dream, leaving him struggling internally.

However, Sakuragi Hitomi and the woman before them seemed to mistakenly think that Yan Huan resented them for years of neglect and deceit, possibly even refusing to acknowledge them anymore!

"I... I’ll call your dad right away, have him come back as soon as possible... no matter what, this can’t continue..."

The woman in front wiped her tears, then her gaze gradually grew resolute.

She patted the comforting Sakuragi Hitomi beside her, gave her son a deep look, then turned around with her phone and walked out.

"President..."

Beside her, watching the woman leave, Sakuragi Hitomi gave Yan Huan a sympathetic glance, unsure of what to say.

But Yan Huan...

was already trapped in extremely dramatic shock.

He hurriedly grabbed his phone from the side, opened the messaging app, and aside from not seeing Bai Yi’s chat box, everything was as usual.

Except, there were two added contacts.

"Dad"

"Mom"

Inside, flipping from the beginning to the end, there were quite a few chat records.

Communication with dad was infrequent, generally once a week was considered good.

But with mom, there were daily messages, even if just a few words of greeting...

Seeing those two notes, Yan Huan’s head involuntarily throbbed.

And just now, the name of that woman also surfaced in his mind,

"Wang Yulu"

This is...

his mother.

And she and his father didn’t die in that past accident at all, they had been around all along.

But...

Yan Huan’s life trajectory seemed to have unchanged significantly.

His parents had always been traveling, falsely claiming the family was poor, making Yan Huan live in a rented apartment in the South District, only sending money back monthly.

Yet, Yan Huan, with memories of his past life, also worked hard and through his efforts, got into Yuanyue Academy and became the student council president.

This...

Bai Yi?

Even as memories blurred, seeing the discrepancy in front of him, Yan Huan suddenly realized something, his expression slightly changing.

Outside the door, the half-open ward entrance, the sounds of Wang Yulu’s conversation on the phone floated in,

"Yan Shuhan, stop saying that... I know this might be very effective, and Xiao Huan indeed has become very excellent... but isn’t this enough already? It’s time..."

"..."

"Now isn’t the time for you to return! He’s almost not recognizing us now!"

"..."

"Forget it! If this goes on, he’ll start thinking Aunt Lanlan is his real mom!"

"..."

Yan Huan blinked as he stared at the doorway.

And Sakuragi Hitomi thought he was extremely sad, so she pursed her lips and stretched out her small hand, tightly holding Yan Huan’s hand,

"It’s okay, President... no matter what, I’m here."

"..."

Soon, the conversation outside finally ended.

And as the door reopened, Wang Yulu once again entered the room.

She looked at Yan Huan, who was bandaged and lying on the hospital bed, and squeezed out a gentle smile,

"Xiao Huan..."

Looking at the woman before him, Yan Huan hesitated for a second and didn’t speak.

And Wang Yulu took a deep breath, then continued,

"During this period, your father might still be unable to return, but I will stay in Linmen for the time being..."

Yan Huan felt a bit at a loss, but could only joke,

"It’s better not, with that house in the South District, if you come, you’d just end up staying in a hotel..."

Jokingly, actually that house could accommodate three people.

Previously, that’s how he lived with An Le and Sakuragi Hitomi.

"No need to worry about that, Xiao Huan, mom will take care of it..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yulu smiled slightly, looking at Yan Huan apologetically,

"I... plan to just buy a villa for you, putting it directly under your name!"

"?"

Yan Huan blinked, recalling the luxurious villa at Aunt Ye’s place.

Moreover, that villa had five full floors, with over a dozen rooms!

In the most luxurious area of Jinghe District, even more extravagant than the dilapidated North Sea District villa where Ye Shiyu held her!!

"Exactly, your Aunt Lanlan had been urging us to come back and stay, we’ll just buy one like her villa for you..."

Saying this, Wang Yulu rubbed her hands, cautiously approached Yan Huan, asking,

"What do you think, Xiao Huan, is this okay?"

Yan Huan was dumbstruck, only calculating the price of a villa in that area in his head.

In that run-down deserted place in North Sea District, one such villa starts at tens of millions, but where Aunt Ye resides...

The value is probably beyond estimation!

This is...

Becoming a rich second-generation all of a sudden?!

"..."

Seeing Yan Huan hesitate, Wang Yulu thought he was angry, resentful of their deceit.

Wang Yulu’s expression dimmed slightly, yet she still showed a smile, compromised,

"If Xiao Huan doesn’t want to live with us, that’s okay, we’ll buy two villas at her place. You can live opposite Aunt Lanlan’s house, and we’ll just be in the same community with you..."

As Wang Yulu spoke, Yan Huan still hadn’t reacted.

But beside her, Sakuragi Hitomi, upon hearing that the villa was to be located "opposite Ye Lan’s house," instantly widened her eyes, instinctively objected,

"No, no, no!!"

"..."

Hearing this, Wang Yulu and Yan Huan both stared blankly at Sakuragi Hitomi.

Realizing the focus of both, Sakuragi Hitomi’s face turned slightly red, dodging their gaze while explaining,

"That location is seriously overpriced, Aunt... and probably doesn’t have two suitable houses, it’s not very appropriate..."

"..."

Both remained silent, watching Sakuragi Hitomi.

Feeling their gaze, after hesitating for a moment, Sakuragi Hitomi weakly raised her hand, as if revealing a secret dagger, said quietly,

"Actually... there are two reasonably priced villas for sale near my Western-style Mansion...

"Aunt Wang, President, what do you think..."
