Chapter 39: Sisters’ Secrets

Aunt smiled faintly after hearing this, and then chatted warmly with Mom about everyday things.

The exquisite and delicious dishes were served one after another in no time. My aunt seemed to be a VIP customer of this restaurant. The staff and the owner treated her with great respect. The head chef also came over to greet her and show his goodwill. The dishes were all very delicious, and the elegant environment made us feel very comfortable chatting.

They chatted casually about things that had happened over the years, but it was mostly about trivial matters. These were the kinds of topics women usually talk about. They didn’t mention my mother’s experience of going abroad, which was exactly what I wanted to know.

After a while, the topic turned to men again, and Mom asked, "Sister, how are things going with your husband? I heard he’s doing quite well in the government."

"That’s how it is. We’re an old married couple, what else can we do? You know what kind of person your brother-in-law is," Auntie said, looking down, seemingly unwilling to discuss the topic.

Mom leaned close to Aunt’s ear mysteriously and whispered, "I was talking about that... how does your brother-in-law treat you? My sister knows what I’m talking about." Then she laughed charmingly.

"Hey! Little brat! What’s wrong? Xiao Bin’s right here!"

When my aunt heard what my mother said, her face flushed slightly. She glanced at me shyly out of the corner of her eye and playfully slapped my mother’s shoulder.

Mom smiled at me, picked up her drink, took a sip, and said with a smile, "What’s wrong with that? Xiaobin isn’t an outsider. Sister, you don’t need to be shy!"

Ignoring my mother, my aunt stuffed a piece of beef into her mouth, giving her a shy, glaring look. Her delicate face was lightly powdered, and her small, slightly full lips made her look sexy and alluring. She said shyly, "Your brother-in-law is always so busy with social engagements, he hardly has any free time. I rarely see him at home! Humph! It makes me so angry! Besides, I’m busy with work, I don’t have the time for that."

Mom chuckled with a hint of smugness, "Hehe, sister, you’re not answering my question properly. Sister, we’re both this age, do you think I don’t know whether our bodies want it or not? If you don’t have a man to keep you company, how can you resist?"

Auntie was extremely embarrassed and pinched Mom’s arm hard, making her cry out "Ouch!" Auntie then said, "What are you saying! You’re so indecent, aren’t you ashamed!"

Mom rubbed her arm dramatically, then quickly picked up a piece of beef and handed it to her aunt’s plate. Her aunt ignored her, which made Mom giggle again.

After a while, Mom lightly touched her fingers and said, "My boyfriend, you know, he’s just an average guy. When I came back to China, he often came to check on me and even helped me with my business. I never expected anything from him, but his ’that’ is pretty good, he seems usable. So I made do with him for a while, otherwise I wouldn’t have even looked at him."

After Mom finished speaking, she glanced at me thoughtfully with her phoenix eyes. I felt a pang of guilt, afraid that my aunt would notice something amiss. But my aunt didn’t notice the exchange between Mom and me.

Mom languidly reclined on the chair and said, "Men are all the same. They make all sorts of vows of eternal love, but all they really want is our bodies. They all like to play little tricks on us behind our backs. We women can’t rely on men, so we might as well follow our own nature and make those bastards not dare to look down on us."

The mother’s slightly languid voice made one’s heart flutter.

Aunt looked at Mom’s appearance, sighed and said, "That’s because you are so dashing and shrewd, little sister. How many people in this world can be like you? Most women can only depend on men, sigh, I certainly can’t do that."

Listening to the conversation, I didn’t even dare to lift my head, burying my head in my food. I imagined my dignified and proper aunt, who was not the same style as my sexy, charming, and alluring mother.

However, I glanced at my aunt again, and there were long, straight, fair, and delicate legs peeking out from the slit of her cheongsam by the table. They looked so voluptuous and alluring.

Her hips were very full, and a corner of her hips was slightly exposed at the slit of her cheongsam. Sitting on the chair with her large and full hips, the edge of her skirt slightly creased her plump and tender flesh.

Her tight-fitting cheongsam was sexy and alluring enough. She had a typical mature woman’s figure, with a curvaceous body, full breasts and a plump bottom. It would be a real pleasure to sleep with her. I couldn’t help but envy my uncle. I wondered what my usually conservative and dignified aunt would be like in bed, and whether she would be just as seductive.

"By the way, are you really going to do that?" Auntie suddenly asked Mom in a serious tone.

Mom gave Aunt a deep look and said in a deep voice, "I’m ready. I’ve told you before that I’m coming back this time to settle this matter."

I was a little confused and didn’t know what they were talking about, but I had a vague feeling that it was something very important.

My aunt crossed her arms with some worry and said to my mother, "Should we start by investigating those two? Actually, I’m not so worried about these old grudges; I’m worried about our family’s affairs..."

My mother glanced at me sideways, and her sudden deep gaze made me feel uneasy. She then turned her head, put her fair hand on my aunt’s shoulder, and said softly, "Don’t worry, sister. I know what to do. We still have time. These things are all connected. I had already made up my mind before. Just do as I say, and we will definitely find a way."

Auntie reached out and took Mom’s hand. Although she looked worried, seeing Mom’s determined expression, she felt a little relieved.

She turned to look at me, who was completely dumbfounded, and laughed, "Oh dear, look, Xiaobin is still here. Stop talking nonsense. Come on, eat more food. The steak at this French restaurant is the best!"

After saying that, my aunt affectionately picked up a piece of beef for me. I didn’t know what they were talking about, but I didn’t want to seem too clueless, so I quickly thanked my aunt. My aunt kept praising me for being sweet-talking.

As we were finishing our meal, my mother jokingly said to me, "Xiaobin, look how much your aunt likes you. Why don’t you go stay at your aunt’s house for a while?"

I was taken aback when I heard this, but my aunt beamed with joy and said, "Great idea! My family doesn’t have any children, and it always feels lonely. Your uncle is never home, and I cook a whole table of delicious food but no one eats it. Xiaobin, why don’t you come and stay for a while? It’ll keep your aunt company!"

Living under the same roof as a beautiful aunt would certainly be a joy, and I couldn’t be happier. But then I thought that would mean I wouldn’t see my mother, and my next "test" with my mother was still a month away. I didn’t want to not see her every day for a while, so I quickly refused, saying, "No, no, thank you, Auntie. My mother lives alone at home, and I’m worried about her. I’d rather stay at my own home!"

"Giggle, giggle," Mom and Auntie exchanged a glance and laughed charmingly. In an instant, the private room was filled with a spring-like atmosphere. Auntie laughed and said, "It seems that our Xiaobin is reluctant to part with you. Alas, I just don’t have the fate to be with children! Auntie is jealous."

I know that my aunt and uncle have not had children for many years. I don’t know if they deliberately don’t want children or if they are just unable to have them.

Mom said, "Xiaobin, you’re so clingy! Your aunt invited you like this, and you still don’t give her face. You’re embarrassing your mother!"

I gave an awkward laugh, thinking that no matter how much they teased me, I was determined not to move into my aunt’s house.

Our sumptuous meal quickly came to an end. My aunt’s family had a driver to pick her up and take her home. She said goodbye to us warmly and invited me again before leaving, saying that I must visit her house sometime when I have time. I had no choice but to reluctantly agree, figuring I could worry about the future later.

On the way back, my mother laughed and said to me in the car, "What’s wrong, Xiaobin? Your aunt said you need to stay with her for a while, but you’re so unwilling. You look like you’re clinging to your mother. Do you think you’re still a child who hasn’t grown up? You still have the nerve to call yourself a grown man."

I said irritably, "I haven’t seen my aunt for years, it would be so awkward to go to her house, and besides, she said she lives alone most of the time, so it’s not convenient for her..."

"Hehehe, so you know it’s inconvenient? You’re always trying to take advantage of your mother, so is it inconvenient for you to live in the same room as her? I’ll have to reconsider!"

My mother teased me as she drove, glancing at me in the rearview mirror.

"That’s different," I said stubbornly.

"What’s different, Xiaobin? You can’t keep thinking such things. You were staring at your aunt’s chest and legs for a long time, didn’t you? Do you think your aunt couldn’t tell?" Mom said.

My heart sank, and I could only awkwardly say, "No... I wasn’t staring at her, I just... I just glanced at her occasionally. Auntie is a beautiful woman too, I only looked at her a few times, Mom, you’re accusing me."

My mother didn’t say much, but gave me a mischievous smile.

After a while, I asked my mother, "Mom, what are you planning to do about what you and Auntie talked about, and about Jiang Weixin?"

Mom drove the car carefully, looking at the road ahead. After a while, she slowly said, "Xiaobin, Mom came back this time to take good care of you, and there are a few important things to deal with. And they’re not things like starting a company to make money."

"Hmm." I listened quietly in the car.

My mother paused, glanced at me through the rearview mirror with her beautiful phoenix eyes, and said calmly, "There are some things that I won’t tell you for your own good. You’re still young and not old enough to know yet. When the time comes, you’ll naturally understand the ins and outs, and you’ll know without me having to tell you."

"That’s like saying nothing at all," I thought to myself. Then Mom continued, "In short, you need to know that Mom will handle the mess left by the Zhou family, as well as a series of things concerning our Gu family. They’re all complicated and intertwined, and the families are all connected. I’ll handle it all. You just focus on your studies and don’t think about anything else. When you grow up and enter society, I will entrust you with the best of everything. Do you understand?"

I stood there for a long time, wanting to say something, but when the words reached my lips, I didn’t know how to say them. After much hesitation, I could only say, "Okay, Mom, I understand."

Mom said softly, "Although I sometimes like to joke with you, you must know that we are still mother and son. This is a boundary that must never be crossed. I am very happy that you have a girlfriend recently. If it does not affect your studies, dating can help you young people grow and get to know society. You have a bright future ahead of you. Promise me that you will not have any more messy or inappropriate thoughts about me, okay?"

Hearing this, my mother’s tone was gentle yet firm. I felt a bit suffocated, as if I had been hit by a sledgehammer. I said unwillingly, "This has nothing to do with what happened earlier. Besides, Mom, you promised me last time that you would give me a chance to test myself in three months. You can’t go back on your word!"

When my mother heard what I said, she looked at me again in the rearview mirror with her beautiful big eyes, revealing a helpless and worried expression.

My mother and I were speechless for a moment. My longing for my mother was not something she could dispel with a few words; that was my most stubborn trait.

Mom sighed and said softly, "Why don’t you go stay with your aunt for a while, Xiaobin? Your aunt is a very kind person, she’ll treat you well, and you see she likes you a lot..."

"I don’t want to." I interrupted my mother before she could finish speaking.

My mother didn’t say anything more. It seemed that a chasm had formed between us. It turned out that my mother was very unwilling to make any "bet" with me. She didn’t want any relationship with me that went beyond that of mother and son. The three-month "test" we agreed on before might just be a delaying tactic.

However, I will not give up easily. Sitting in the back seat of the car, I looked at my mother’s elegant and sexy back. In my heart, she is an irreplaceable goddess. My biggest wish is to return to the place on her body where I was born. Perhaps this is the obsession in the heart of every boy who has a mother complex.

"We’ll see!" I said to her in my heart.
