The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 852 - 849: Countless Tycoons Bow Down (Part 8)

Since the wages are paid, and it saved them effort, the moving workers happily left.

Huang’s mother was anxious: "Son, what are you doing?"

Huang Xiaojue slumped on the sofa, just pressing hard on his brow.

"Zhou Ting meant well. She said you two are getting married, what’s ours is hers too. She said this villa is her mother’s property, her mother doesn’t need it, so she gave it to us to live in, what’s wrong with that? Why can’t we move in?"

Villa, Yang Wei... Vanity really does harm.

Huang Xiaojue had lost the energy to comfort his mother anymore, just responded blandly: "Mom, have you not considered why Zhou Ting would give you so much stuff?"

Huang’s mother was righteously: "Because she loves you. She’s the only daughter in her family, later on, won’t her possessions all be yours?"

Huang Xiaojue suddenly recalled the harsh words Yan Xixi once said in the early years: Many women always think their sons have faces adorned with diamonds and gold, and all the women in the world must pay for them — back then, they were still students, she often had various shocking remarks, occasionally, he would find them unbelievable. Thinking back today, he slowly realized: her words might have been crude, but they weren’t without sense.

Old Huang observed the situation: "Old woman, if our son tells you not to move, then don’t move."

Huang’s mother said resentfully: "All my old friends know I was going to move, now I can’t, where is my face supposed to go?"

"Is your reputation more important or your son?"

"Fine, if we’re not moving, we’re not moving... Alright, rejecting clear benefits, you two men are such fools..." Huang’s mother fumed, "Others become successful and always bring along their relatives, but you Xiaojue always fear we’ll benefit from it, I really don’t understand what you think, how many more years can your dad and I live?"

Huang Xiaojue just managed a bitter smile.

Who said maternal love is the most selfless? In fact, sometimes, maternal love is especially terrifying.

He suddenly noticed the big box packed from his room. He hurried over, opened the box, and his expression changed: "Mom, did you touch my things?"

Huang’s mother was unconcerned: "Some worthless little trinkets, they’re all thrown away."

Huang Xiaojue quickly strode towards his room.

The room was already completely empty: various little trinkets on the desk before were all gone.

Huang’s mother said dismissively: "They’re not worth anything, why keep them?"

They weren’t worth anything—completely worthless—pen holders, knives, photo frames, dolls... All were little things. They were gifts from Yan Xixi many years ago, occasionally on Valentine’s Day, Christmas, she’d join the fun and give him some small presents. She had no money, bought them all at street stalls.

But he kept every single one of these little gifts well, never discarded them.

But now, his mother thoroughly cleared them all away.

He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, responded blandly: "Why throw away these things in particular?"

Huang’s mother couldn’t stand it: "Last time Zhou Ting came, she said she wanted to see your room. I shouldn’t have acted impulsively, I opened one drawer, she saw a photo of you and Yan Xixi together. I had no choice but to tell her, those things were all gifts from Yan Xixi... So, wasn’t I just afraid she’d be unhappy? So I simply threw all those things away..."

Huang Xiaojue couldn’t believe it: "Mom, did you really make the decision on your own for that reason??"
