Chapter 84: I Already Have a Mother

Chapter 84: I Already Have a Mom

That night, Chen Wang didn't manage to stay over, but early the next morning, he showed up at Gu Sai's door again.

Gu Sai opened the door, and Bomb locked onto Chen Wang and charged at him.

Chen Wang was startled, crossing his hands to protect his junk, just barely escaping disaster.

"Gu Sai, what's wrong with your son? Why does he always want to ruin your future sex life?"

Gu Sai picked up Bomb and locked him in the bedroom: "Bomb's doing the world a favor by getting rid of a pest."

Chen Wang chuckled softly, pinning Gu Sai against the door: "What do you mean, getting rid of a pest? His 'services' belong to you, what's it got to do with anyone else?"

Gu Sai regretted it. He should've known this guy could never say anything serious, and quickly changed the subject: "You... what are you doing here so early?"

Chen Wang said, "Taking you to get your blood sample logged into the database. Didn't you say your mom's cool with you finding your birth parents? Let's get this done before we start filming. I already booked it for you."

Gu Sai was a little taken aback.

On the way back from Ancheng, Chen Wang had asked him if he'd thought about looking for his birth family, and he said he'd asked his mom for her opinion, and she was all for it.

At the time, Chen Wang just hummed in response, and his next sentence was already back to his usual nonsense. After returning, Gu Sai had looked up the process for getting his blood sample registered online himself, but hadn't figured out the steps yet. He didn't expect that Chen Wang had already taken care of everything for him.

He looked up at Chen Wang, his heart flooded with warmth.

Chen Wang flipped his hair and gave a charming, sly smile: "Touched, little one? After they draw your blood, I'll replenish your fluids—you'll be even more touched then, right? There's a saying: one drop of jizz is worth ten drops of blood. All my jizz in this life is yours—ow—"

Gu Sai stomped on his foot hard.

Really, how could this man seamlessly switch between being serious and being a pervert, keeping Gu Sai whiplashed between being touched and being pissed off?

At the family reunification center, they spent most of the day filling out paperwork and getting blood drawn, and finally, his sample was successfully logged into the system. The staff said that as soon as they had any news, they would notify him immediately.

At noon, Li Wencheng called Gu Sai to grab lunch, and Chen Wang went along too.

Li Wencheng said that his mother had been rattled by yesterday's incident and was still in the hospital, but the elders of the family all agreed that Li Shanshan could not continue to stay in the Li family, and his father also agreed to cut ties with Li Shanshan.

Because the adoption was based on fraud, it could be annulled once it was reported.

Not only that, they were getting lawyers involved to gather evidence and planned to sue Aunt Zhou for fraud. The Li family had spent a huge amount of money raising Li Shanshan over the past ten-plus years, enough to put her in prison for several years.

At the end of the conversation, Li Wencheng said, "Xiao Bing, after my mom woke up, she's been wanting to see you. You..."

He wanted to ask his brother's opinion. If his brother didn't want to see her, he had plenty of ways to keep his mom from seeing him.

But Gu Sai said, "Yeah, Auntie's in the hospital, I should go visit her."

Chen Wang said, "Then I'm coming with you."

Li Wencheng said, "Forget it, I'll be there. Are you afraid Xiao Bing will be bullied? Your face attracts attention wherever you go. I'm afraid you'll get us stared at like we're circus animals, let alone my mom."

Gu Sai also said, "Yeah, it's fine if my brother and I go. Teacher Chen, you go do your thing."

Chen Wang let out a heavy snort, as pissed off as a husband in a porno who wakes up halfway through.

Gu Sai bought a bouquet of carnations and followed Li Wencheng to the hospital room.

Mrs. Li was half-reclining on the hospital bed, her face still somewhat pale, with a lingering weariness in her eyes.

The moment she saw Gu Sai walk in, her eyes instantly welled up. She reached out with trembling hands, her voice thick with tears: "Xiao Bing..."

Gu Sai stepped forward and set the bouquet on the nightstand.

Mrs. Li clutched his hand, tears streaming down uncontrollably, repeating over and over: "I'm sorry, Xiao Bing, Mom's the one who's sorry. Back then, we shouldn't have refused to listen to your explanation, shouldn't have been so quick to believe others, making you go through so much unfairness..."

Mr. Li, standing nearby, looked at Gu Sai with a complex expression—there was concern and regret, but also obvious scrutiny. He didn't say anything, just let out a heavy sigh.

Gu Sai let Mrs. Li hold his hand, speaking calmly and gently: "It's okay, Auntie. It's in the past now. I stopped blaming you a long time ago."

His forgiveness was so sincere that it made Mrs. Li feel even more ashamed.

She looked at Gu Sai's handsome face through tearful eyes, as if trying to find a trace of that timid little boy from back then.

Back then, she'd really taken a shine to Gu Sai at first sight. Otherwise, she—who'd originally wanted to adopt a girl—wouldn't have suddenly changed her mind and brought this boy home.

The grown-up Gu Sai was also impressive—handsome, gentle, and polite. Not long ago, he'd even been hailed as a hero for saving people from a fire. Unfortunately, she'd learned that Gu Sai's current adoptive mom only ran a noodle shop—no money, no connections, and no clue how to seize opportunities to build up her son's image. She'd completely wasted this perfect chance for him to blow up.

She thought, if that incident hadn't happened back then, she would've raised Gu Sai so much better. Two successful sons at her side—how happy she'd be.

Thinking of this, she felt a swirl of emotions. She hesitantly asked, "Xiao Bing, you... would you still be willing to call me Mom?"

She added urgently, "As long as you're willing, Mom will treat you like her own son and make up for the way we wronged you by misunderstanding you back then. Aren't you an actor now? We can start an entertainment company that only promotes you, giving you the best resources. And Chen Wang—I can tell your relationship is special. Only by becoming a member of the Li family can you be an equal match for him, right?"

Gu Sai listened quietly, looking at her with a clear, honest gaze: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I already have a mom."

These words were soft but firm, drawing a clear line between them.

Mrs. Li was stunned, and Mr. Li was also a bit surprised, but then he understood what he meant.

Some wounds, once inflicted, cannot be easily healed with an apology. Some places, once left empty, can't be filled again no matter how hard you try.

Gu Sai was no longer the "Li Wenbing" who needed to rely on the Li family to survive.

Finally, she slowly released his hand and nodded sadly: "Okay... okay, Auntie understands."

She no longer insisted, but still teary-eyed, she said earnestly, "In the future... I hope you'll come by the house often and visit your brother. No matter what happens to you, the Li family is always willing to help."

Gu Sai nodded slightly, polite but distant: "Thank you for the offer, Auntie."

Li Wencheng's eyes stayed softly on Gu Sai. Neither his mom's nor his brother's words came as a surprise to him.

He'd seen this coming. But luckily, even if Xiao Bing didn't accept the Li parents, he was still willing to accept him as his brother.

Li Wencheng was already satisfied. As long as Xiao Bing was safe and sound, he was willing to protect him as his brother for the rest of his life.
