Chapter 402: Chapter 298: Mature Education_2
The boy also remembered which floor and room number his home was, but the hallway was a bit complex. After a few steps, there was another door, and there were many door numbers, making it somewhat difficult to find.
However, with a bit more time, he would always find the room he lived in.
Standing in front of the door of his former home, the boy instinctively wanted to turn the doorknob, but he stopped himself and chose to knock instead.
"..."
But the door didn’t open as it used to.
The boy didn’t give up and knocked again, this time, the door finally opened.
"Who is it! Annoying!"
However, the person who came out was a strange man.
"..."
The boy looked at him, taken aback.
"Ah? Whose kid is this?" the man looked at the boy, impatiently, "You must have the wrong door, this isn’t your home."
"...!"
But after the man spoke, the boy suddenly charged at him and the door, forcing his way into the room.
"..." As soon as he entered the room, however, the boy stopped in his tracks.
The traces of his and his mother’s life together had all vanished from the room, which appeared quite small, and it seemed they were the only ones who had been there.
His mother was not here.
"Hey! What do you think you’re doing!?"
The man, startled, quickly picked up the boy and threw him out the door!
"Goddamn it! Trying to steal, huh? Get the hell out, don’t let me see you again!"
After saying that, the man slammed the door shut.
"Uncle... are you okay?" Eve quickly picked the boy up from the ground, dusting him off.
At the same time, she glared angrily at the door, a fierce light flashing in her eyes.
"..."
Nevertheless, the boy just stared straight at the door number.
There was no mistake, his memory was not wrong, but his mother was not there, and others were living here.
This situation had only one explanation...
"..." Eve, caring more about the boy than anything else, noticed his gaze immediately and could not help feeling heartbroken.
"Your mother, she..."
But before Eve could finish, she saw the boy hurriedly run downstairs.
Seeing this, Eve immediately followed the boy’s pace.
Soon, the boy reached the ground floor. At the entrance, there was a person lying idle on a lounge chair, eyes closed, resting. He was the person in charge of collecting rent and handling various matters for the building.
"...!"
The boy walked over, wanting to ask the person something, but when he slightly opened his mouth, he could not make a sound.
The person naturally did not notice the boy and remained with his eyes closed.
"...I’ll help you." Seeing this, Eve took out paper and pen from the table next to her and wrote down a question, asking where the former tenant of room number several floors up had gone?
The boy took the paper, nodded at Eve as if to thank her, and then went forward to nudge the person before showing him the content on the paper.
"...Hmm? Who is it? You are..."
The man opened his eyes, looked at the boy, and then at the paper in his hand.
"The previous tenant of that room? Oh, I remember, she came here to terminate her lease before. So, you wouldn’t happen to be her..."
He looked at the boy with an increasing sense of pity in his eyes.
"Alas... such a tragedy. I remember she said she was heading to XX city in the south, but I don’t know exactly where. If you hurry after her now, you might still catch up."
Xu expressed his sympathy for the boy in words and provided him with some verbal assistance.
The boy nodded and then dashed out immediately.
Eve also chased after him and, at the same time, asked the boy, "Do you... know how to get to the South?"
"..."
Then, hearing Eve’s words, the boy couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, standing silently with his fists clenched, looking utterly confused.
Seeing him like that, Eve felt pity in her heart, so she couldn’t help but say,
"Don’t worry, didn’t we agree? I’ll take you to find your mom, so, I’ll take you to the South... No matter where it is, I’ll be with you."
"..." The boy looked at Eve and, although he remained silent, the complicated emotions in his eyes said a lot.
"All right, let’s go," Eve smiled at him and took his hand, "If we’re going to the South, it’s definitely going to be far, so we’ll need to take a car, right?"
Saying this, she took the boy’s hand and went to the side of the road.
"Let’s hail a car here. The driver will surely know how to get to that city in the South... Oh right, I should give you the car fare first, make sure to hold onto it tight."
As she spoke, Eve handed a stack of money to the boy. This time, the boy didn’t refuse; he was unclear on how much it would cost and could only accept it, committing to memory that he must repay this strange sister in the future.
But... just as the boy received the money, a passerby who saw the money in the boy’s hands hesitated for a moment, then immediately rushed over, snatched the money from the boy’s hand, and took off running!
"..." The boy watched the retreating figure, seemingly still not registering what had happened.
"Chase him!"
But a luxury car passing by immediately gave chase.
Human legs cannot outrun the wheels of a luxury car; the car quickly caught up to the man and, with a sharp turn, drove onto the sidewalk, blocking the thief’s path.
Then a middle-aged man got out of the car, punched the thief to the ground, and picked up the stack of money.
"Wait!" The thief on the ground saw the money being taken and, ignoring his dizzy head, quickly clung to the middle-aged man’s leg, "Please, leave me one bill! My child is still hungry at home!"
"Get lost!" The middle-aged man kicked him away, righteously saying, "Isn’t it because of your own lack of effort that you have no money? Stealing money is always wrong! You should be grateful I haven’t had you arrested."
"..." The man had no response, and then left with a defeated posture.
The middle-aged man then walked towards the boy, smiled as he returned the money to him, and in a gentle voice said,
"Kid, you should have learned the lesson that wealth should not be flaunted, right? Okay, keep the money safe, and make sure it doesn’t get stolen again."
"..." The boy nodded to him in thanks, and then took the money back.
"Well, I should be going. Remember to get home quickly, there are a lot of bad people out here."
With that, the middle-aged man returned to his car.
In the car, his friend sitting in the driver’s seat, asked him with a smile,
"What’s gotten into you today, why the sudden act of playing the hero?"
"It’s always right to do good deeds," replied the middle-aged man.
"Ha ha ha ha!" However, his friend couldn’t help but laugh, "I can’t believe that you of all people would say that, you’re full of surprises."
"Say whatever you want." The middle-aged man waved his hand dismissively, then looked out the window at the boy’s figure, "Besides, I have another reason for what I did... The moment I saw that child, I just had a special feeling, for some reason... I just wanted to take care of him."
"Oh?" His friend teased, "Could it be that he’s your own flesh and blood? You always play so wild at parties, and who knows how many women you’ve gotten pregnant. Maybe he’s from a past affair."
"Hmm... that might actually be the case." The middle-aged man didn’t deny the possibility, remembering a girl from years ago whom he had particularly liked, so he would favor her at parties.
Unfortunately, when she got pregnant, he lost interest, and if she hadn’t chosen to terminate the pregnancy, the child would be about this age now. Moreover, the boy did resemble her somewhat, and also himself.
Maybe... No, it was very likely, he was his biological son.
But even if that was true, the middle-aged man didn’t care, he didn’t lack for a son. He had no intention of taking responsibility, after all, he had paid her off at the time.
"I am not a man to be shackled by the past. Now, let’s drive to the party."
"Okay..."
With that, the luxury car started up again.
The boy may have just brushed past his own biological father without ever knowing.
