Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife-Chapter 282 A son’s misery

Frustration and confusion surged through Leng Shao. Why was everyone crying? It's like he is the only one being kept in the dark and he hated that feeling.

"I'm sorry son." His mother's pained voice snapped him out of his stupor. He knitted his brows together and caressed her cheeks.

"Mom, why are you apologizing? Tell me what is wrong. Did Mr. Lei hurt you?"

Leng Shao demanded as irritation surged inside him. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

"Nono…"Mrs Leng shook her aggressively.

"I-I..."

"What! Why are you so scared to talk to me? You can't even look at me in the eyes."

"I-I can't." Her voice cracked and she shook her head.

"What do you mean, you can't?" Leng Shao asked. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

"I can't tell you." She whispered as tears fell out of her eyes.

"Mom-" Mrs. Leng shook her head and looked at her hands without answering.

"Damn it mom!" He yelled.

Tears kept falling as she remained quiet. Leng Shao racked his hand through hair as he let out a frustrated sigh.

He paused when he saw a laptop on the table. For some unknown reasons, his guts were telling him to check it out. Leng Shao has always believed in his guts.

Mrs. Leng followed Leng Shao's gaze and saw him staring at the laptop. Her heart raced out of her chest and before she could stop Leng Shao, he was already at the table.

Leng Shao saw a paused video on the laptop and clicked on the play button. Mrs. Leng watched her son's expression move from confusion to anger.

That is it. It seems she had no choice but to tell her son the truth. But she was afraid that he would hate her. For what seems like forever but a few minutes, she heard Leng Shao's voice.

"Mom—what is this?" Mrs. Leng flinched and kept looking down. She was afraid to see her son's eyes gleaming with disgust for her.

"You...tell me it is not true. Please." Tears escaped from his eyes.

A great sob escaped Mrs. Leng and she covered her face with her shaking hands.

"I'm sorry. I did it for you!" Mrs. Leng bellowed

Leng Shao stiffened when he heard his mother.

"The video that was leaked, I created it. I couldn't bear to see you suffer so I was looking for a way to help when a man approached me at the cafe one rainy day.

I had no idea who he was but he chatted with me and asked me what was wrong, I told him everything and he gave me the best idea.

All I had to do was convince Fu Xin and then no one would get hurt. It was a win win situation for everyone."

Mrs. Leng weakly confessed.

Silence ensued in the room after her revelation. Mrs. Leng slowly raised her head to look at her son.

Leng Shao shook his head in denial. He felt his fragile heart slowly cracking as his vision became blurry.

Mrs. Leng stood up from the floor and made her way to him. She cupped his face in her hands.

"I love you, I couldn't bear to see you cry that day. I wanted to do something for me to ease your pain so when the man approached me and gave the best idea I quickly took it." A sob escaped Mrs. Leng said as she covered hers over her lips.

"Nothing excuses the fact that I hid this from you. I'm so sorry."

Leng Shao pulled away from his mother and the pain in his eyes cut deep inside her soul. He moved to punch a hole into the wall before tugging at the roots of his hair.

He began making his way out of the house and his mother chased after him. She caught up at him at the entrance and he stopped, turning to look at her.

"Please….just stay away from me." Leng Shao said in ire.

"Leng Shao, I did it for you. Anybody can hate me but not you!"

"You did it for me?! You know how much she means to me mom. I will never to snatch her happiness away from her for my own selfish reasons. I thought you knew me better than that!"

"Leng Shao-" Mrs. Leng pressed her lips together as she wanted to say more but seeing the pain in her son's eyes made her soul crushed.

"I'm sorry-"

"Sorry? I thought I knew you better mom but you're no different from that vile woman who used to bully Yan Mei."

Leng Shao closed the door and stepped into the rain which perfectly described his mood at the moment. Gloomy, sad and dark.

Empty minded, Leng Shao felt his eyes watering at the thought of him being the reason for Yan Mei's pain. If he knew his love will cause her this huge amount of pain he would have never fallen in love with her.

He knew he had no control over his heart but he would have tried harder to stop loving her earlier. He wanted to be the one to wipe her tears but instead he became the one who caused them.

He got inside his car and speed off. Leng Shao had no idea where he was going or how he even got there.

The world zoom out and he was left with his thoughts alone. He finally found himself parked at a familiar street. He hit his steering wheel with his hands as he tried to soothe his raging heart.

Opening the door, he strolled in the rain towards Su Bei's house. He had no idea why he was even here or why he came here. But for some reason he wanted to see her. He had no one to turn to except her. The woman he just met a couple of weeks ago was now his only source of strength.

He knocked on the door. Within a second, the door opened and Su Bei stood before him. She took in his state and her lips parted. Before she could uttered a word he flung himself into her.
