You Are My Only Sunshine-Chapter 1547: Piping Hot Chicken Soup

At the same time, Madam Wei also wanted to discuss something with Wei Sheng.

It just so happened that he needed to confront her too; it was time for her to provide an explanation for everything.

Wei Sheng was the first to arrive at Wei Mansion, where Madam Wei, as usual, awaited him at home.

Every time Wei Sheng visited, Madam Wei would arrange the living room to feel cozy and homely, making him feel warm whenever he came.

But this time, upon returning, he felt nothing—only coldness, deceit... Everything seemed fake.

So fake that it made him nauseous.

Madam Wei, with her reading glasses on, was perusing the newspaper. Upon seeing him enter, she immediately donned a benevolent smile, "Ahsheng, come in and sit. I’ve just made chicken soup for you to nourish yourself."

Wei Sheng stared at her, trying to discern any disguise in her expression but couldn’t see anything.

Is her performance too skillful, or is everything Wei Lu told him merely an illusion?

Wei Sheng said nothing, walking over with a blank expression.

Madam Wei enthusiastically brought a large portion of chicken soup from the kitchen, containing chicken meat, red dates, peanuts...

The steaming chicken soup still had a familiar taste.

Madam Wei often made dishes for him, caring deeply for his health. Over the years, she had nurtured him well. The concern she showed him never felt fake to him; he couldn’t truly believe that someone indifferent to him would persistently cook for him for decades.

She not only treated him well but others too, yet seemed to be the kindest to him.

Is it out of guilt that she desperately tries to compensate?

Knowing Madam Wei’s true nature, Wei Sheng was genuinely heartbroken, feeling like a fool betrayed by those closest to him.

Yet his anguished heart was reluctant to fully believe Madam Wei was such a ruthless and cold-hearted woman.

At least he didn’t believe she had no affection for him.

After years of relationship, could there really be no kinship at all?

Now, confronted with this bowl of chicken soup, Wei Sheng felt she must have some affection for him; perhaps she was indeed utterly reprehensible, but surely she had feelings for him too.

He could sense her affection didn’t seem fake.

"Why not drink?" Madam Wei asked with a smile, her loving gaze shining with joy. She was in a good mood, "You seem upset. Have you been tired lately? I’ve been neglectful lately, it’s been a while since I’ve properly looked at you. My son, you’ve lost so much weight."

Wei Sheng’s complex gaze fixed on her, his mental scales wavering somewhat.

"I’ve been fine recently..." he spoke hoarsely, "Did you have anything to discuss with me?"

"Silly child, can’t I see you without a reason? I have nothing, just missed you and wanted to see you." Madam Wei’s eyes grew kinder; how could someone with such a gaze merely use him, making him a tool for murder?

Wei Sheng’s heart was genuinely in turmoil, reason informing him the truth was evident: don’t be deceived, she was indeed using them, not treating them as human.

But years of emotions told him she must have genuine feelings for them as well, not entirely driven by ulterior motives?

Yet he understood clearly, no matter how well she performed, they could never return to the past. Their mother-son relationship could hardly continue.

"Mother, I’ve indeed been tired lately..." Wei Sheng looked at her and spoke, "I want to withdraw and find a place to live a life free from worldly conflicts, hence I wish to discuss with you."
