She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 163 Envy mixed with resentment

Leng Yuchen was jealous of her!

No, not just her, but her brother too!

He was jealous that they could get their mother's love!
Leng Yuchen stared intently at his mother holding the little girl's hand.
They are very close, care deeply, and dote on each other.

Beneath his calm gaze churned a twisted jealousy that stung him, and he shattered once more.

Leng Yuchen wanted to laugh out loud, but he also wanted to cry.

But he couldn't. In the end, he just smiled calmly, the kind of well-behaved smile that everyone likes.

As soon as Liu Jingyi retreated, he immediately pressed forward.

Leng Yuchen was very stubborn, pushing people to a point where they could no longer retreat.

He looked directly into Liu Jingyi's eyes, parted his lips slightly, and said with a smile, "Mom, you don't want me anymore."

A simple sentence, delivered in a relaxed tone.

A deathly silence filled the air.

Liu Jingyi's ears were filled with this intimate yet heartbreaking sentence.

Liu Jingyi broke out in a cold sweat and trembled all over.

I don't know if it was because of the cold or because I was scared.

Liu Jingyi couldn't understand why a character who wasn't in the book but whom she felt truly existed in her memories would appear here.

Leng Yuchen was speaking with a smile, but tears welled up in his dark, beautiful eyes.

Silent tears streamed down his delicate face.

He just cried quietly, his heart was clearly shattered into pieces, but he still maintained a faint smile on his face.

Looking at the tears on his face, the moment Liu Jingyi met his eyes, she seemed to see him crying again and again in front of the original owner of this body, asking the same question over and over again.

"Mom, look at me, don't you like me that much?"

"Mom, I'm a good girl, and I'll earn lots and lots of money."

"If I die, will Mom stop hating me?"

At this moment, Liu Jingyi felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles; it hurt so much.

Tears streamed down her face without her realizing it, and when she came to her senses, her face was covered in tears.

Seeing the tears on her mother's face, Leng Ling walked up to Liu Jingyi, glaring at Leng Yuchen in front of her.

"Get away from me, this is my mother."

Leng Yuchen looked at the girl in front of him. He clearly disliked her, but he could still look at her very kindly.

Liu Jingyi also came to her senses at this moment and coughed lightly twice.

Leng Yuchen has no status here, and he faces great difficulty in moving around.

She couldn't just leave him to his own devices.

In front of the police, they led the person out.

Leng Ling quietly held her mother's hand. Although she didn't like the older brother in front of her, she didn't want to make things difficult for her mother.

Leng Yuchen simply followed obediently beside her.

The three of them walked out of the police station. Liu Jingyi stopped, turned around, and stared intently at him.
"Why are you here?"

Leng Yuchen smiled faintly, "I thought Mom wouldn't ask?"

When Liu Jingyi heard these words, she felt strange.

"I thought my mother wouldn't recognize me."

Leng Yuchen said softly.

Liu Jingyi remained silent; she didn't know how to deal with the child in front of her.

She brought him home, and she had no way to explain it?

Could it be that we should tell Leng Yunting that this is also their child?

Will Leng Yunting believe it? Will he think she's mentally ill?

Leng Yuchen seemed to have gotten used to Liu Jingyi's attitude towards him.

After all, that's how he's always lived. His mother is always unhappy.

I always felt disgust and loathing when I looked at him.

To his mother, he had always been a burden.

At such a young age, he already knew how to cook and take care of his mother.

Even so, Mom still didn't seem happy.

"Don't call me that in public? It's strange."

Leng Yuchen was overjoyed; this was the first time his mother had spoken to him so softly.

The furrowed brows under his eyes immediately relaxed.

He nodded gently, trying to appear like a very obedient child, "Okay."

Liu Jingyi pondered where to send this person, but she was really worried about leaving him alone.

The key issue is whether he has legal status; even going to a guesthouse wouldn't be an option.

"Let's go, I'll take you to find a house first."

Leng Yuchen nodded obediently, showing no dissatisfaction whatsoever. He did whatever Liu Jingyi said.
Liu Jingyi had many questions she wanted to ask, including what exactly happened.

Why is he here? And can he go back?
But before Liu Jingyi could finish speaking, he bent down slightly and looked at Leng Ling, whom Liu Jingyi was holding tightly.

"Mom, my little sister is very cute, but I wonder if my little brother will look a lot like me."

Liu Jingyi pursed her lips and tightened her grip on Leng Ling's hand, saying, "Don't say such strange things."

Leng Yuchen smiled and said, "Okay."

Liu Jingyi quickly found a small house with only one room and a kitchen.

Leng Yuchen had no complaints, after all, he had always been in this kind of environment.

No, his environment was much worse than this.

Liu Jingyi quickly signed the agreement and paid the money.

Leng Yuchen stood in the courtyard. "Would you like to sit a little longer?"

Liu Jingyi shook her head. "No."

After saying that, she left him the money she had on her.

"If you get hungry, just go buy some food, or you can cook for yourself."

Leng Yuchen smiled and accepted the money: "Okay, sister."

He was very cooperative, obeying Liu Jingyi's every word as if he were the most obedient child in the world.

Liu Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, but her mind was still in turmoil.

"Mother."

Leng Ling's sweet voice brought Liu Jingyi back to her senses immediately.

Leng Ling looked listless and pale, appearing to be quite unwell. She tugged at her sleeve.

"Ling'er misses her brother and wants to go home."

Looking at her, Liu Jingyi felt a pang of heartache. She knelt down, gently patted her head, and whispered,

"Okay, I'll be back right away."

After Liu Jingyi finished speaking, she stood up again and looked at the envious look in the eyes of the boy in front of her. She opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Leng Yuchen seemed to have gotten used to her attitude.

He had no expression, only looked at her tenderly, as if just seeing her was a very happy thing.

Leng Yuchen showed no dissatisfaction or complaint about Liu Jingyi's departure or her attitude towards Leng Ling.

He accepted it calmly.

Before Liu Jingyi could speak, she heard Leng Yuchen say softly,

"My little sister is so nice; she can act spoiled without any worries."

At this moment, Liu Jingyi felt that when he looked at Ling'er, he didn't feel the affection a brother has for his sister. Instead, she felt a little envious of him, but also a little disgusted.
