"If I agree, will you guarantee to return my daughter to me and never show up in front of us again?" Lu Che asked.
"We can sign an agreement."
"No, I want to completely end our mother-son relationship," Lu Che said. "Tomorrow at 9am, I'll see you in front of the hospital. Bring my daughter along. From tomorrow onwards, you are no longer my mother. Please leave for now."
Mother Lu never expected her son to go to such extremes.
However, she didn't think there was anything worth holding onto, so she arrogantly turned around and left.
Seeing that his home was in a mess, Lu Che did not immediately head for the bedroom to comfort his wife. Instead, he cleaned up the place first before he knocked on the door and called her name, "Xiao Man."
"Where's my daughter?" Long Jie asked as she opened the door.
"I agreed to give my sperm to Mrs. Lu so she can try IVF. In return, she will return our daughter to us at the cost of our mother-son relationship."
"You..."
"Don't worry, I won't give it to her. I have other plans," Lu Che said as he placed his arm around Long Jie's shoulder. "I want to see if she'd continue acting crazy."
No one would willingly treat their mother like this if the mother treated their child lovingly.
Unfortunately, not only was Long Jie stuck in the middle, even if she didn't exist and Lu Che knew that his mother was this crazy, he wouldn't have possibly tolerated her.
"OK, after we get back our daughter, I want to move," Long Jie requested. "I hope a disgusting person like that doesn't show up in my life again."
Lu Che pulled Long Jie into his embrace and patted her comfortingly on the back "Sorry, it's my fault for not managing your relationship well."
"Forget about it. No one can manage with someone like your mother. I can't handle her, but I can hide from her."
"Wait for a good show tomorrow."
After their chat, the couple had a bath and headed to bed.
The next morning, Long Jie did not accompany Lu Che to the hospital. To resolve the matter, Lu Che utilized his contacts and asked the doctor for some assistance.
"The doctor already has what you want. Where's my daughter?" Lu Che asked after returning to Mother Lu an hour later. "If you go back on your word, then don't even dream about having a grandson."
Mother Lu scoffed. After seeing the doctor nod his head behind Lu Che, she finally replied, "Your daughter is in the car. Someone is taking care of her."
"I am officially declaring it now: from this moment onwards, I am no longer your son. From now on, I am not related to any of your matters, not even your so-called future grandson," Lu Che said firmly.
"Hmmph, don't worry, I won't bother you. Your father and I will bring up the child on our own."
"As you wish."
"My grandson will definitely have a better future than your delicate little daughter."
Lu Che looked at Mother Lu with deep meaning. He then put away the phone that he was recording their conversation on and left the hospital to retrieve his daughter.
After Lu Che left, Mother Lu sneered, "Right now, he may not care and think that daughters and sons are the same. But, wait 'til he grows old and realizes how pitiful it is to not a have a son by one's side. Just wait and see."
...
After returning to his car with their daughter, Long Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief, "What trick did you play?"
Lu Che smiled and replied, "I got some samples from the hospital's storage. Since she wants a grandson so badly, she can have one all she wants."
