Chapter 833
As Charlie was considering the issue, ire asked impatiently, "What about you and dad? Have
you found any clues on mom?"
"Um..." Charlie looked at the pile of skewers and beer i n front of him before he said, "We are still
looking at many different mahjong halls to look for mom. There are no clues on her whereabouts for
the time being.”
ire sighed before she said, "Then you can continue looking for her. Loreen and I will also
continue looking for mom now."
"Okay." Charlie hurriedly replied, "Don''t worry, dad and I will definitely work hard to find mom!"
"Okay." ire replied, "Then let''s hang up first. Give m e a call to let me know if you have any clues
at all."
"No problem!" 1
When Charlie hung up the phone, Jacob was already enjoying his meat with a good appetite, i
Jacob drank a ss of beer before he poured out a ss of beer for Charlie. As he enjoyed the
barbequed meat, Jacob said, "My good son-inw, no one will be bothering us today. Let’s enjoy a
good drink together. Come, let''s have one shot first."
Charlie could not help but feel a little amused. The old man seemed to be really rxed and
relieved now
that ine was missing. He nodded slightly before he said, "Dad, you should not drink too much
anyway. Drinking too much is not good for your health.”
Jacobughed before he said, "I am feeling very refreshed and happy right now. I am hoping that
your mom has already been admitted into an MLM organization. Anyway, she will not die from a
little suffering. She will only be stuck for about three to five years and we will finally be able to enjoy
a short moment of peace." i

Charlie nodded before he sighed, "I think that would b e perfect too. However, I am afraid that ire
will not b e able to ept it." i
Jacob sighed and said, "That''s right. ire is a very filial child. She is simply too filial! But is your
mother really worthy of her filial piety? You have no blood rtionship with ine at all. So, tell me
the truth. If your mother was just like ine, would you still be filial to her?" 1
Charlie was a little embarrassed and he had a mncholic expression on his face before he said, "If
my mother was still alive, I am afraid that I would be more than willing to be filial towards my mom
even if she had a worse temper than my mother-inw." s
"Well, that''s true." Jacob was slightly embarrassed and he said, "I am sorry. Dad should not have
said that. Why don''t we use me as an analogy instead? You can obviously tell that ire’s
grandmother basically has the same temperament as her mother. To be honest, the both of them
are shrewd women and the only difference is that one is older and the other one is younger." 2
As he spoke about this, Jacob took a sip of his beer before he said, "So, you can say that I am not a
filial son. My mother lost everything that she had but I simply refused to allow her to move into my
house but I rather let her live out on the streets instead. Why? Because each of us have our own
view and perception on what is right or wrong. You can’t possibly protect and defend your own
mother when she is wrong, just because of the rtionship that you share with her, right?”
Charlie nodded slightly, "You are right." 1
Jacob sighed before he said, "Actually, you are already living a better life than me. At least, you
married a good girl such as ire. Even if you are not sessful in life, she will never divorce you.
If you are as unfortunate as me to marry a bitch, then you will be living a very miserable life now." 6
Charlie could not help but feel very sympathetic towards his Jacob when he saw the mncholic
look on his father-inw''s face. The old man''s life had not been easy. He had a sweet first love and
he was in a very good and stable rtionship with his first love, but ine butted in and destroyed
his lifepletely. That was how miserable his life was. 6
At this time, Charlie deliberately asked, "Dad, why don''t you tell me some stories about your first
love? I heard some of the uncles chatting about your rtionship with your first love during your
ss reunion and it seemed to be quite legendary!"
"How is it legendary?" Jacob sighed as he exined," Matilda and I were nning to get married
immediately after our graduation ceremony. It was rather difficult for anyone to go abroad at that
time but since her family was pretty powerful and influential, they were nning to send us to the
United States to further our studies after our graduation. The both of us were nning to get
married immediately after we graduate before we left for the United States to further our studies
together..."
As he spoke about this, Jacob said angrily, "Who would have known that I would drink a little too
much when all of us were partying before our graduation ceremony? When I woke up, your mother-
inw and I had already...”
"Well..." Jacob covered his face before he said, "ine i s a very conniving and scheming person.
She quickly told Matilda about everything that happened between the both of us and Matilda was
really angry. Unlike ine who was very noisy and liked to cause trouble for everyone, Matilda
simply wrote me a breakup letter before she packed up all of her belongings and left for the United
States by herself. I have not seen her since then."
Charlie asked curiously, "You did not get to exin yourself to her at that time?"
