Song Mo looked at me timidly, and even stopped chewing the cake.

He is a relatively sensitive child, and his words will hurt him if he is not careful. Although I was also shocked that he would call me “mom”, it is really unnecessary to deny him at this time and make him think that he has done something wrong.

He may have been looking forward to it for a long time, brewing for a long time, before finally summoning the courage to call me that. Thinking of this possibility, I couldn’t bear to open my mouth to correct him.

After pursing my lips, I said to Song Bai Lao, “I didn’t ask Momo to call me that, but… since we’re married, I don’t have any opinion on what he wants to call me.”

Following my statement, Song Mo’s expression changed . He relaxed for a moment and gave me a small smile. I was so softhearted by his smile that I couldn’t help but give him back.

At this time, Li Xun came over with a cup of fragrant black coffee, bent down and placed it on the glass coffee table in front of Song Bai Lao. Then she got up and was about to leave, when Song Bai Lao stopped her and asked her to take Song Mo to wash his hands.

The children don’t pay attention to what they eat, and there is a lot of cream on their faces and hands, and they really need to be washed. But I know that Song Bai Lao’s main purpose is to spare Li Xun and Song Mo so that he can talk to me alone.

Seeing Li Xun holding Song Mo’s hand and disappearing around the corner, Song Bai Lao retracted his gaze and looked at me again: “Don’t do unnecessary things.”

Although he looked the same as when he was playing a prank, at most his expression was a little lighter, but the subtle changes are enough to make me shudder.

My eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, a dry smile on my lips: “What…unnecessary?”

“It’s unnecessary to try to be my child’s ‘mother’.” He leaned back in the chair and said, “I said, as long as you do what you should do and don’t cause me trouble, we can coexist peacefully. You really don’t need to play these tricks… I don’t want to play a happy family game with you.”

I felt a sense of powerlessness, in his heart, I may do everything with a purpose and ulterior motives. He can choose the distance between him and me, and even arbitrarily “use” my body, but I don’t want to take the initiative to get close to him. As long as I make a little arrogant move, he will show his sharp claws and let me know the consequences of “crossing the line”.

This shrike, moody and ferocious, is really hard to please. I don’t know what kind of fairy character Song Mo’s mother is, and how good she must be in order to have the title of “Song Bai Lao’s mother”… an admirable title.

“I really didn’t teach Momo to call me ‘mother’, nor did I have the idea of ​​replacing his biological mother. I know you hate me, and I will try to appear in front of you as little as possible in the future. As for Momo… I really feel sorry for him, I want to be nice to him, not play tricks.” As I said that, I wanted to laugh a little, “No matter what you do to me, I won’t take advantage of a child.”

After listening to my words, Song Bai Lao fell into silence. Seems to ponder the credibility of my words.

After a long while, he said, “Remember what you said today.”

I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was the end.

“If I have nothing to do, I’ll go first.” I glanced at my watch and realized that it was almost time to make an appointment with Ning Shi, so I got up and prepared to leave.

Song Bai Lao raised his eyes, and his voice sounded unhurriedly: “I have contacted a lawyer about the plagiarism of the competition two years ago. You may be asked to sign a few authorization documents at that time. You just need to sign it.”

The tone of the statement is domineering and indisputable.

I was stunned for a moment, the whole person stood there, and looked at him blankly: “Lawyer?”

“Your stigma may have been related to yourself in the past, but now it is also related to me, and even the reputation of the entire ‘Xia Sheng’. Song Bai Lao picked up the coffee cup, “Who told you to be so useless, now I can only wipe your ass.”

I opened my mouth, although his words were still ugly, but I have learned to mask keywords and delete selected ones. What he means is that he wants to reverse the case for me. But I don’t have any useful evidence here except my own mouth…

“Can I win a lawsuit… Can I win?” I clenched my fingers, and my heart was filled with unspeakable emotions, as if those “dead” things that had long since ceased to exist once again sent out a faint spark in the ashes, shouting loudly. Want to “revival”.

Song Bai Lao’s coffee cup was in the air, looking at me with a “what are you kidding” eyes. Seeing that I didn’t look fake, he quickly turned into a foolish look.

“Xia Sheng’s lawyers are one of the best lawyers in the world. If they can’t win such a small lawsuit, how can they deserve the high legal fees I pay them every year? I never raise waste.” He sipped lightly. The dark brown liquid in the cup seemed to be not rigorous enough, so he added, “You are an exception.”

The development of this incident was beyond my expectations. Although Song Bai Lao repeatedly said that this was for his own and Xia Sheng’s reputation, but the biggest beneficiary is still me. Anyway, I should thank him.

“Excuse me.” I nodded slightly at him, “Thank you.”

Song Bai Lao looked at the floor-to-ceiling window with his coffee cup in his hand, his tone was slow and his voice was low: “Since you know ‘trouble’, you can do less troublesome things for me in the future.”

After leaving Xia Sheng, I asked the driver to take me to the coffee shop I had made an appointment with Ning Shi. When I was about 100 meters away from my destination, the driver suddenly braked and my body leaned forward uncontrollably. A mighty team appeared in front of the vehicle, crossing the street and going from right to left. Everyone has more or less two slogans on their hands, calling for attention to Beta’s human rights and to treat each Beta freely and equally.

“It’s a parade again.” The driver’s tone was a little helpless.

I unbuckled my seat belt and said, “Let me down here, I’ll just cross the road anyway, I’ll just walk over by myself.”

The driver turned around, pulled over and stopped, saying that he would find a place to park nearby and let me Just give him a call when I want use the car again.

I got out of the car and walked through the crowd with difficulty. I was very uncomfortable in a place where there were so many people, and I just wanted to pass quickly. When I was about to get to the other side of the road, a leaflet was suddenly stuffed into my arms. The other party was a young girl with a scale painted in striking red on her face. The scales held the words “Freedom” and “Equality” written in yellow oil paint.

She pulled me and said in a very fast voice: “Sir, learn about the Beta affirmative action, this society is too unfair to us.”

I pressed the leaflet and said indifferently: “Oh, yeah… “Breaking away from her hand, I quickly moved away from the parade.

Pushing the door and entering the cafe, the wind chime at the front of the door made a crisp sound, and the waiter said softly, “Welcome.”, while watching the parade not far away.

“Sorry, I’m late.” I went to sit across from her, and the flyer was placed on the table.

Ning Shi saw it, picked it up, glanced at it casually, and quickly put it down.

“Beta equal rights…” She raised one eyebrow and said in a cool tone, “It’s been a hundred years, and it’s been peaceful, so why waste this energy.”

I took the drink list handed over by the waiter and ordered a random one. Hearing her dejected remarks, I couldn’t help but reply: “If these people also accept their fate, Beta is really hopeless.”

Ning Shi sneered and said disapprovingly: “Look at what you said, do you know that there is survival of the fittest in nature? Alpha and Omega are completely immune to c20. Combining the two, their children will only be blood type A. Don’t worry about guessing whether you are one-tenth of the unfortunate one, and more healthy, better, and more needed by this society. Omegas are not as useless as betas who have given birth once. They have as many children as they want, and they mark each other with Alphas. They are not afraid of cheating. Talent can’t compare to Omega, you see, there is nothing Beta in this world, isn’t it natural for us to be eliminated?”

“But…” I know what she’s saying is false, but honestly, it’s hard to find a strong counterpoint. “Without Beta, this world and society can’t function, and many professions are inseparable from Beta contribution.”

Ning Shi sneered: “Ning Yu, why are you so naive? There used to be dinosaurs on the earth, do you think the world would stop working without them?”

“Let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about the past 100 years, so many people with type AB blood have died, this society is not very good. Many professions are inseparable from Beta, because Alpha and Omega are not willing to do it. Can you imagine sweeping the streets with an A or an O?”

It’s not difficult for betas to find a job, but finding a good job is much more difficult than for Alphas with the same education and experience. There are many large companies that will even give priority for Alpha, and the remaining positions will be considered for Beta. The promotion of Beta is also far less fast than that of Alpha. For occupations such as writers and designers that require creative inspiration, Betas don’t even want to squeeze in, which has always been the field of Omega. That’s why it was so easy for Chang Xingze to frame me back then. Among the dozens of participating teams, only me and Xiang Ping were made up of two Betas, and the other teams also had at least one Omega.

I thought about what she said and said, “If Beta strikes now, Alpha and Omega will also have a headache.”

“Power and money are in the hands of AO, and the bottom Beta waits all day for those wages to live on, who suffers more from a strike without wages?”

I looked at Ning Shi, and suddenly felt extremely frightened for a moment. She sat in front of me talking about the hopeless point of Beta, like a mirror between us. Looking at her is like looking at myself. Countless times I’ve had the same thoughts as hers, I’ve written them down in a journal, every stroke is a shade of gray, and these negative emotions are always easier to control my brain when I’m hit.

I thought we had nothing in common except for our appearance. It seems that I was wrong. Some of her thoughts still affect me… This can also be called the tragedy of the original family.

Perhaps the biggest difference between me and her is that she has completely given up hope, while I am still struggling.

While struggling, I was afraid of being defeated by a more painful reality, so that I could no longer cheer up. So become more and more timid, more and more careful.

“Forget it, I can’t convince you, and I don’t want to agree with you, so let’s get down to business.” I said, “Can you tell me the name of my child this time?”

Ning Shi stirred the coffee in front of her with a spoon, and was surprisingly easy to speak: “Okay, his name is Youyou, an excellent You. I fostered him in a Beta family since he was a child, and I visit him every once in a while. He knows that his mother is a male Beta, and he is looking forward to seeing you.”

I was nervous and excited, and I couldn’t help but lean forward: “He knows me?”

“He often asks me about his father.” Ning Shi looked at me meaningfully, “After so many years, you still refuse to say?”

I became vigilant: “After all these years, what can I do even if I know? I’m married now.”

“That’s a precious birth opportunity for Beta…”

“I don’t know the identity of the other party, it’s just a bar It’s just a one-night stand with a man you know casually.” I casually put off her and didn’t want to continue the topic.

Ning Shi saw my rejection and did not continue to ask.

After a while, my lemon soda came and we stopped talking for a while.

After the waiter left, I asked Ning Shi, “When can I see him?”

Ning Shi frowned, “It’s been half a year, don’t you want to go back on it?”

After sitting for a long time, the seat is a little hot, and the store turned on the air conditioner early because of this, but the temperature is set too low, and when the cold air hits the other half of the body, it will be very cold.

Ice and Fire Double Heaven, just like my mood at this time.

“Can’t it be earlier?”

I discussed it with Ning Shi, but she didn’t get into it: “There’s no such thing as business. You keep your promises, and I’ll keep my promises, isn’t it?”

Talk to me about business.

I bit my lip and lowered my request: “Then… at least…give me a picture of the child?”

Ning Shi looked hesitant and distressed.

“Please,” I begged her. “It’s just a photo.”

“Or this… Next time I’ll put you on a video call.” She finally backed down.

""

Rather than taking pictures, I naturally wanted to talk to the other person and ask him personally if he was doing well over the years.

“Okay, okay!” I responded quickly, and after I was happy, I asked her carefully, “When is the next time…?” Ning Shi took out her phone and glanced at the date: “Next month.”

I’ve been a little lost for months. But thinking that I can really meet him in a few months, I can’t help but have infinite longing.

Afterwards, I asked Ning Shi a series of trivial questions, such as the food the child likes to eat, the books he likes to read, and even the size of his clothes and height, and begged her to let me take another look at the photos. In the end, Ning Shi became impatient. Looking at the time, he said that it was not too early, so let her go back early.

I could hear what she meant, so I had to pay the bill and end the meeting.
