"Liang'er, this has nothing to do with this matter. It's about Yunsheng Restaurant."

Yunsheng Restaurant? Bai Liang blinked. Did his mother go to the restaurant to cause trouble again? Was it really...

"Aunt, is my mother causing trouble again? Tell me, Liang'er will definitely persuade her."

Yun Zhihan covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Liang'er, you worry too much. My coming here has nothing to do with your mother, but only with you. You don't have to be too nervous. Just listen to me carefully."

"Liang'er would like to hear the details." When Bai Liang heard that it had nothing to do with his mother, he felt relieved.

Yun Zhihan told him the whole conversation he had just had with Shuanghua.

"Liang'er, auntie wants to ask, are you willing to be the new shopkeeper of Yunsheng Restaurant? Don't worry, the monthly salary will be paid according to the previous shopkeeper's share."

Bai Liang was shocked after hearing this.

My aunt actually let me be the manager of Yunsheng Restaurant without any grudges? Wasn't she afraid that I would abuse my power and take the restaurant's money without authorization?

"Aunt, Liang'er has something that I don't understand. Please enlighten me."

"you say!"

"Aunt and mother have never had a harmonious relationship. Why are they willing to entrust such an important task to me?"

Yun Zhihan raised the corners of his mouth and replied, "The grievances between me and my parents are a matter of the previous generation. What's more, you are you and your parents are your parents. It has no impact on you."

Bai Liang was still confused, "Aunt, aren't you afraid that I will be partial to you?"

"Can you?" Yun Zhihan did not answer directly, but asked back.

This question caught Bai Liang off guard. Would he? He asked himself. Being partial must be what his mother wanted, but he didn't want to be that kind of person.

He wanted to be like his second uncle, a gentleman and someone respected by the people.

Although he knew he didn't have that ability, he might be able to choose to be a good person.

"Liang'er won't." He said firmly, "If Aunt trusts me, Liang'er will do his best to protect Yunsheng Restaurant."

Yun Zhihan was very satisfied with his answer and said affirmatively, "Of course I trust you."

"Thank you for your cultivation, aunt."

"Liang'er, you can't choose your origin and parents, but you can at least choose what kind of person you want to be. As long as I am in the Xie family, no one will look down on you."

Bai Liang was greatly encouraged. His mother had never said such words to him. Every day, she either disliked him or took her anger out on him. Now, this spring rain came just in time.

"Aunt, Liang'er will definitely live up to your expectations." He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yun Zhihan.

Yun Zhihan helped him up and patted his head. "Okay, don't say these polite words anymore. Let's discuss when you can come over."

"It's all up to you, Aunt." He couldn't wait to show off his skills.

"Then will you still go to the private school? Your mother's side..."

Yun Zhihan didn't want to look at Yuan any more, and naturally didn't want to talk to her. And that Xie Songqiao, just thinking about him made him sick.

"Don't worry, auntie, Liang'er will solve it himself."

"Okay. If possible, you can go with me tomorrow at 9:00 p.m."

"Don't worry, auntie. Liang'er will be here on time tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Yun Zhihan chatted a few more words and left.

The system reported eagerly, "Hanhan, I feel Xie Bailiang's kindness. You guessed right. He might really be a good fit."

"That's right!" She said proudly, "Liang'er has a conscience, unlike his parents who are wicked to the core."

……

Dusk.

Yuan came to Huashu Pavilion to visit his son, and he learned from the servant that Liang'er had been bullied.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw him happily preparing something, and I guessed that my son didn't take it to heart.

"Liang'er."

"Mother!" When he saw Yuan coming, he immediately bowed and greeted her.

"Mother heard that you were upset in the private school today. Is this true?"

"Mother, I'm fine. It's just a joke between classmates. It's not worth mentioning."

"That's good." Yuan's eyebrows relaxed. "How have you been doing with your studies these days? Have you made any progress?"

Hearing this, Bai Liangxin panicked for some reason. He couldn't even say the words he had prepared in advance.

"Mother, I, I..."

"What?" Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Yuan subconsciously thought that it must be something bad.

Bai Liang took a deep breath and blurted out, "I don't want to go to school anymore."

For some reason, after saying this, he seemed to be completely relieved.

But Yuan frowned and asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Say it again!"

Bai Liang looked straight at his mother, straightened his back, and said solemnly, "Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore. Tomorrow, I will go to Yunsheng Restaurant to be the shopkeeper."

"What? Are you crazy? That's Yun Zhihan's restaurant, why would she be so kind as to let you in? It's obvious that she wants to alienate us mother and son!"

Yuan screamed madly. She would never allow such a thing to happen. Her son was the pillar of her survival. How could she let Yun Zhihan take him away?

"Mother, Liang'er has made up his mind. Please help me!"

"Pa!" A slap hit his right cheek hard, "Asshole!"

For a moment, Bai Liang's ears buzzed, his right face felt numb and hot, and he felt a little dizzy. But even so, he did not lower his head or cry, but continued to look directly at his mother.

He picked up a dagger from the desk next to him and pointed the tip of the knife at his neck.

"Mother, I have never disobeyed you since I was a child. This is the only time I ask you to fulfill my wish. If you insist on not complying, I will have no choice but to end my own life."

"In this life, Liang'er returns my life to you. If there is an afterlife, please give me a son with both virtue and talent."

As he finished speaking, the tip of the knife had already touched his neck, and blood slowly flowed out from his neck.

Yuan rushed forward and tried to take the knife from his hand, but her move was in vain. She could only cry and scream, "You are forcing me to die!"

Bai Liang remained unmoved. He had made up his mind and no longer wanted to be a puppet of his parents. If he continued to be so cowardly, he might as well die.

"Mother, can you agree to your son's request?"

Yuan compromised. Everything she did was for her son. If he died, what was the point of her living?

"Mom promises you, put the knife down immediately."

Bai Liang gave up only after he heard that she had given in.

At this time, the little girls nearby hurried over to help him stop the bleeding and apply medicine. Everyone in the room was busy running around, and the farce was finally over.

This matter soon spread throughout the Xie family. When Old Lady Xie heard about it, she thought that Yuan was not fit to be a mother. How could she force her own son to hang himself?

So, he called her to the bedroom and sent everyone else out.

"Yuan, I'm too lenient with you, am I not?"

"Mother, what do you mean?" She was terrified.
