Tong Jiumo was busy in the kitchen while Mo Lisi watched cartoons in the living room.
A while later, the cell phone on the sofa rang.
Mo Lisi glanced at the phone upon hearing it ring.
‘Huh, isn’t this the number of the broken cell phone in my room?’
Mo Lisi thought that it must be Tong Lele who was calling. He quickly pressed the volume button, and the ringing sound was muted.
He walked towards the kitchen with the phone and saw that Tong Jiumo was preparing the ingredients carefully. After walking into another room, he picked up the call.
“Hello, mommy…”
“Hello there.” Mo Lisi greeted him politely in a soft voice.
“Ah, ah, ah! Mo Lisi, you little brat, you’re actually with my mommy!”
Mo Lisi’s voice remained gentle. “Mommy is making dinner now, did something happen?”
“Did something happen? And what’s with your tone, do you really regard yourself as mommy’s darling son now?” Tong Lele complained, wailing. “Did mommy not notice that she’d lost her cute baby boy?”
“My daddy didn’t notice anything either,” said Mo Lisi softly, but he secretly felt smug.
“How did this happen? Why does your glacial father look so much like my clone?” Tong Lele suddenly asked, agitated. “I’ve seen matching outfits countless times, but I’ve never seen matching faces. It’s indeed, as they say, if you live long enough, you’ll eventually see everything!”
“Lele, if you think about it, could it be that I’m your long lost older twin brother? Either that or when mommy gave birth to us, she schemed and separated us, then lied to daddy that one of us was miscarried?”
“You’ve too dramatic, I’ve seen a picture of my father before, he’s extraordinarily ugly. Besides, mommy said that daddy went to a faraway place and will never return,” retorted Tong Lele. “And on what basis did you decide that you were the elder brother?”
“Because I’m dramatic,” said Mo Lisi while smiling.
He thought Tong Lele was really cute.
“You’re pissing me off! Quickly, go and tell mommy her son has been kidnapped,” commanded Tong Lele.
“Right now, I’m mommy’s son. You should sit tight at daddy’s house and investigate whether we’re actually long lost twins,” said Mo Lisi seriously.
“Why does it have to be me? You expect me to work without paying me?” asked Tong Lele haughtily.
His services cost a lot.
“Because you’re smarter than me! You were the one who fixed my phone, right? My daddy hired several professional technicians, but they couldn’t fix my phone, and yet you did! You must be a genius!” Mo Lisi praised Tong Lele.
“Lele, it’s time for dinner!”
As they talked, Tong Jiumo’s voice sounded from the kitchen.
After hearing that, Mo Lisi said hurriedly, “Mommy’s calling for me to eat dinner.”
Tong Lele howled angrily, “Little brat! That’s my mommy! Mine, mine, not yours! What’s more, you get to eat mommy’s home-cooked dinner, that’s not fair!” This Mo Lisi was not just eating his mommy’s dinner, but he also wanted to snatch his mother away!
“I gotta go, mommy’s calling for me to eat dinner!” Mo Lisi instantly felt proud after hearing Tong Lele’s envious voice.
Tong Lele cried out, “Mo Lisi, I’ll let it go if you’re only eating my dishes, but how dare you want to snatch my mommy as well?”
“It’s not that bad, you’re also about to steal my daddy. If you want him, I don’t mind giving him to you,” said Mo Lisi generously.
In any case, he didn’t feel that his father was worth keeping.
With a face like a block of ice, his father had never tried to get close to him.
Even after knowing his father for five years, in his memory, his father had never hugged him, kissed him, or cooked for him.
On the other hand, Mo Lisi had gotten to know Tong Lele’s mother for a day, and she was so affectionate that she had even cooked dinner for him—even though it was because Tong Jiumo had recognized the wrong son.
Even so, he would be reluctant to leave Tong Lele’s mother.
“I don’t want that icy poker face! It’s like I owe him millions of dollars! Humph, I don’t want this kind of tyrannical daddy!” retorted Tong Lele.
“I really have to go, mommy is rushing me.” Mo Lisi was in a great mood. He hung up and walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, the boy in the castle room wailed and raged after hearing the beep on the phone. “Mo Lisi, you brat, stealing my mommy! Mommy, YOUR son is being emotionally abused, you haven’t realized the son next to you is fake? Mommy, I’ve loved you in vain!”
