Chapter 180 Catch Doll 5

In the evening, the sun set and the sky was dyed orange and red. After sending Lin Jiu home, Ma Jiye walked on the road with a heavy heart.

He didn't know how to explain to his parents what happened tonight, and his heart was filled with contradictions and uneasiness. Every step he took seemed extremely difficult, as if he was carrying a heavy burden under his feet.

As he reached his doorstep, his steps slowed down. He stood there hesitantly, raising and lowering his hand repeatedly. This action made the people below and those watching the surveillance video extremely anxious, and they speculated about his inner struggles.

Finally, Ma Jiye took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to raise his hand and push open the door. The moment the door opened, he looked up and saw his parents sitting on two stools reading as usual.

However, unlike usual, this time they were reading the same book, which made the scene feel very awkward.

Because Ma Jiye had something hidden in his mind, he didn't pay attention to it. Moreover, his parents often did such confusing things, so he naturally ignored the abnormality.

As the saying goes, people in the game cannot see the game within the game.

When Chunlan saw her son come back, she put down the book in her hand with a smile and her eyes fell gently on Ma Jiye.

She glanced at her husband Ma Chenggang, who was pretending to be calm and reading a book beside her, then smiled and said to Ma Jiye, "Jiye is back! Did you send Xiaojiu back?"

Ma Jiye felt a surge of concern at the thought in his mother's words, but then he felt a little guilty when he recalled his own worries. He whispered, "Yes, I sent it back. Dad, Mom, I..."

"What's wrong?" Chunlan and Ma Chenggang exchanged a glance, knowing full well what was going on, but pretending to be clueless. After all, in Ma Jiye's eyes, they really didn't know what was going on.

Although he was filled with anxiety and guilt, Ma Jiye still mustered up the courage to confess: "Dad, Mom, I'm really sorry. I used that money to buy a game console and failed to live up to your expectations of me..."

His voice trembled, tears gradually blurred his eyes, and finally his voice became choked. He gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, his eyes slightly red, and his expression was full of regret and self-blame.

He admitted that what he did this time was reckless. He spent all the family's money on his own initiative without figuring out whether Jiujiu really liked him.

At this time, the old lady in the wheelchair slowly moved to his side, patted his hands gently, and comforted him softly: "Jiye, don't be sad, don't cry, grandma will feel bad. It's okay, everything will be fine."

Not only did the old lady feel distressed, but Chunlan and Ma Chenggang also felt a surge of sadness when they saw their son in such a state for the first time. As parents, they felt even more distressed for their child at this moment.

Chunlan looked at her son and felt an urge to tell him, "Son, our family is not short of money. We can easily buy not only a game console, but even an entire game console factory."

However, Ma Chenggang knew his wife's temperament very well and immediately realized her intention. Fearing that she would not be able to hold back and do something bad, he quickly grabbed her hand tightly and tried to stop her.

After all, they had worked so hard to raise their son and he had made some progress, and they must not let this hard-earned result go to waste.

Chunlan was so depressed when Ma Chenggang pulled her like this that she yelled a series of curses: "What kind of father is this? Is he his biological daughter?!" Although she was very angry, she still shook off his hand.

Seeing that she was not going to say anything more, Ma Chenggang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Ma Jiye and said earnestly: "Son, you did do something wrong in this matter."

Seeing Ma Jiye's somewhat dim eyes, he immediately added: "But your ability to recognize your mistakes is your greatest achievement. After all, everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them, learn to reflect, correct them, and work hard to solve the problems. This is what you should do."

Ma Jiye listened to his father's words, his eyes gradually brightened, as if he had found the direction, and nodded firmly: "Dad, I understand!"

After saying this, the whole person seemed to be full of energy again and became more cheerful.

Ma Chenggang, Chunlan, and the old lady looked at each other in bewilderment. Chunlan couldn't help but ask, "So you know that? What exactly do you know?"

Ma Chenggang also looked confused. In fact, he himself didn't know what his son understood, but he felt that his son seemed to have found some answer.

The old lady watched their interaction and couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes full of satisfaction.
