Chapter 952
"I put my card in Little Red Bean's pocket . If you're tired or unhappy abroad, you can call me anytime . I'll take you back here . "
The words Xu Jiamu said to her, when she was in the restroom at the Aroma Garden food stall instantly rang in Song Xiangsi's ear .
She had forgotten about the business card because she had pushed everything to the back of her mind since she returned home . Little Red Bean must've pulled it out of her pocket, played around with it, and threw it to the ground, since the corners were torn up .
Song Xiangsi randomly felt stifled . She sat on the floorboards, against the sofa, staring at the business card . She was in a trance for a really long time, before she threw the card onto the coffee table and continued to tidy up the toys . Later, she seemed to be deliberately finding things to do in the house . She knelt down, grabbed a rag, and started to wipe the floor .
She rubbed really hard . After wiping just a third of the living room, she was already spent .
She wasn't sure if it was because her rag wasn't squeezed dry, but the floorboards were far too wet . She got up, about to head towards the bathroom to wash the rag again, when she slipped . With no warning at all, she fell to the ground, and hit her head on the coffee table . It hurt so much that it forced out tears .
She laid on the floor for a while, before she stabilized and forced herself to sit up . She saw that her arm and knee were grazed, and blood was trickling out . The spot where she had hit her head burned in pain .
Since she was little, who knows how much she had suffered . A little pain like this was truly nothing, but for some reason, she felt a random sense of grievance . She couldn't help but cover her mouth, as she softly started to sob .

The more she cried, the more heartbroken she felt . Then, she thought back to how she suffered during her ten month pregnancy, and that night she gave birth to Little Red Bean . She had endured twelve whole hours of pain . At the time, she had no more strength left in her, and truly felt like she was going to suffer like that to death . But then, as soon as that feeling took her, she thought of how if she died Little Red Bean would be on her own .
She endured it all . During the first month after giving birth, she had no one to look after her, and she had to take care of Little Red Bean . At the time, she had no experience taking care of babies, so she practically didn't sleep well for a full month . Other people would get fatter whilst pregnant, yet she lost almost ten pounds .
Later, Little Red Bean gradually got older . She was well-behaved and smart, but even so, being a single woman with a child, she still had a tough time .
She had no one to rely on for everything, just herself .
Even if she accidentally fell down and got hurt, she could only suffer alone .
Sometimes, even she felt like she could crumble at any time .
The rim of Song Xiangsi's eyes were red, as she forcefully lifted herself with the help of the coffee table . She stood up and sat down on the sofa, staring at the business card in front of her . She stared at it for a long while, and eventually couldn't help but pick it up .
His phone number hadn't changed . Eleven digits . Even after so many years, she still remembered them .
She stared at Xu Jiamu's number and thought back to how he took care of her and helped her when her father had passed away . Then, she thought back to what Yang Sisi had said to her, which incited an inner struggle in her heart .
