There were some emotions that had been suppressed in his heart all this time because he thought it was a trivial matter. Shen Tingxi had always treated Ju Qiulan like this. He had always thought of her as his mother, so there were many things that he didn't need to lose his temper. But now, Shen Tingxi felt that he was wrong. If he kept accommodating her, it would only make her worse.
Shen Tingxi snatched the suitcase back from Ju Qiulan's hands and looked at her coldly. "Aren't you in the wrong for the old man to leave you? It can't be the fault of one party when the relationship between husband and wife falls apart. It's true that the old man has an affair, but if it weren't for your strong personality and never giving in, you would always interfere in the old man's affairs. If I didn't listen to you, would the old man have been so cold to you? "
"Xi 'er, you …" Ju Qiulan looked at Shen Tingxi in disbelief. She didn't expect her son, who had always been on her side, to say such things.
"Now you want to use the same thing on the old man on me. I should marry whoever you want me to, but when I didn't listen to you, you drugged me and sent another woman to my bed. Who else in the world is like you as a mother? What do you take me for? A puppet or a piece of wood? "
Ju Qiulan shook her head in disbelief. Her eyes reddened and tears began to accumulate. "Xi 'er, how can you think of me like that? I'm doing this for your own good. If you rely on the Yu family, who will dare to touch you in the future? I just want you to be safe for the rest of your life. "
"That's what you want. Have you asked me if I want it? I'd rather spend a day with the woman I love than spend the rest of my life with a woman I don't love. " Shen Tingxi thought of the promise between Ju Qiulan and Mu Ning Jing and became even more angry. "Ningning is such an innocent girl. How could you bind her with a promise? Because of your damn promise, she repeatedly wronged herself and rejected me. I even suspect that you're not my biological mother. Otherwise, why would a biological mother scheme against her own son?"
"She told you?" Ju Qiulan frowned. "I shouldn't have trusted her. She's an illegitimate daughter raised by a mistress. How trustworthy can she be?"
"Mom!" Shen Tingxi shouted coldly. He didn't expect Ju Qiulan to not reflect on herself at this time, but to still scold Mu Ning Jing. "You disappoint me too much. If you really care about me, you should consider my happiness first. Are you happy? You know that I value Ningning as my life, but instead of helping me, you're trying to break us up. To put it nicely, you're doing this for my own good, but in fact, you're just being selfish. You want to satisfy your own desire for control. "
"I …" Tears streamed down Ju Qiulan's face.
"You should calm down. I can't breathe here. I'm going out to live." Shen Tingxi carried his suitcase and quickly left the villa.
Ju Qiulan held her forehead and staggered back a few steps. Her back was against the sofa, and her face was pale. It wasn't like that. She was really doing it for his own good. As a mother, she wanted her son to be safe. Was that wrong?
…
Yu Meiqi and Yu Anna sat on the waiting chairs in the corridor. The door of the ward next to them was closed. Yu Wenbai and Mu Yiqing were talking inside.
Yu Anna turned to ask Yu Meiqi, "Mom, what do you think Grandpa and Dad are talking about inside? Why did they ask us to come out? "
Yu Meiqi also wanted to know what they were talking about. In the past, there was nothing she couldn't listen in on as a family. Even if it was official business, Yu Wenbai would never hide it from her. She remembered that after the incident with Mu Ning Jing and Mu Yiqing, Yu Wenbai and Mu Yiqing would often talk in private. What exactly were they plotting? Or was there something they wanted to hide from her?
"Mom?" Yu Anna saw that Yu Meiqi was deep in thought and tugged at her arm. "What are you thinking about? Did you hear what I said? "
Yu Meiqi snapped back to reality and looked at her daughter. "Maybe they're talking about official business."
"But there's no need to ask us to leave. It's not like it's something shameful," Yu Anna muttered. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at Yu Meiqi excitedly. "Mom, do you think Grandpa and Dad will talk about my marriage with Tingxi?"
Yu Meiqi's mind was stuck on what Yu Anna had muttered and she didn't hear the latter part of her words. Something shameful? What kind of shameful things could it be?
While Yu Meiqi was still guessing, the door to the ward opened and Yu Wenbai appeared at the door, leaning on his cane. "Come in."
Yu Meiqi and Yu Anna got up and entered the ward. Mu Yiqing was lying on the bed and his face seemed to be paler than before. Yu Wenbai was sitting on the sofa. He had always been good at hiding his emotions, so no one could tell that he was different.
"Dad." Yu Meiqi was a straightforward person and asked what was on her mind. "What were you and Yiqing talking about?"
Yu Wenbai didn't answer the question and pointed at the sofa opposite him. "Have a seat."
Yu Meiqi and Yu Anna sat down next to each other.
Yu Wenbai said, "I met Shen Tingxi this afternoon …"
Yu Anna didn't wait for Yu Wenbai to finish speaking and asked impatiently, "Grandpa, did Tingxi agree to marry me? Have you agreed on a wedding date? "
Yu Wenbai recalled what Shen Tingxi had said before he left. "I heard that the Yu family's upbringing is very strict. I hope that you, Elder Yu, can properly discipline your own granddaughter. It's not a glorious thing to revolve around a man. The key point is that this man is afraid of her. If you can't bear to discipline her, I don't mind doing it for you. "
Previously, he had thought that Shen Tingxi was insulting the Yu family. Now that he saw Yu Anna's infatuated look as if she couldn't wait to marry Shen Tingxi, the anger in Yu Wenbai's heart rushed to his head. He said sternly, "You're only 18 years old and you're already talking about marriage. Don't you know shame? You stick to every man you see like a sticky candy. Don't you find it embarrassing?"
Yu Anna pouted slightly and said in a resentful tone, "Grandpa." However, he didn't dare to say anything. Her marriage was still dependent on him. If he wanted to scold her, so be it. As long as she could marry Shen Tingxi, nothing else mattered.
Yu Meiqi saw that Yu Wenbai was angry and wanted to smooth things over. However, she was reprimanded by Yu Wenbai after she called him "Dad. And you, what have you taught Nana? No matter what, our Yu family is a scholarly and official family. How can she stick to every man she sees? "
Yu Meiqi nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, yes. It's my fault for not teaching her well. I'll discipline Nana well in the future."
Yu Wenbai's anger subsided a little and he began to talk about business. "Shen Tingxi has already made it clear that he won't marry Nana. Our Yu family isn't the kind of family that will stick to the pole. He doesn't like Nana, but I don't like him either. This matter will end here. No one is allowed to mention it again."
