"She probably has the genes to be a mistress. Otherwise, there's no other explanation!"
The door of the cafe was pushed open again.
Chu Jiaoyang's three companions hurriedly called out, "Auntie Chu …"
Chu Jiaoyang turned around and saw her mother. More and more tears welled up in her eyes as she ran toward her mother, crying and stomping her feet. "Mama … look at Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian. I merely want to be with Brother Huai 'an, and they're so overbearing! I'm already willing to compromise and not care about my status … "
Everyone in the cafe was watching the commotion. Chu Jiaoyang's mother's eyes darkened when she saw that someone had already taken out their phone to record the scene.
"Shut up!" Chu Jiaoyang's mother's expression was extremely dark. She grabbed Chu Jiaoyang's wrist and dragged her out. "Come with me! Don't embarrass yourself here! "
Chu Jiaoyang panicked when she heard the word 'disgrace'. She grabbed the back of the sofa next to her and said, "I'm not leaving! How am I shameful?! It's Lin Nuan who doesn't see the big picture that's embarrassing! "
"Chu Jiaoyang! I warn you for the last time! Shut up and follow me! " Chu Jiaoyang's mother had never looked at Chu Jiaoyang with such a sharp gaze, and it made Chu Jiaoyang's hair stand on end.
Chu Jiaoyang tried to pry open her mother's fingers, and her wrist hurt from the force.
"Mom … why are you like this?" Chu Jiaoyang cried. "Am I your daughter or is Lin Nuan your daughter? Why are you siding with Lin Nuan! Brother Huai 'an isn't helping me! You didn't even help me … "
"Yo, you're already treating yourself as Mr. Fu's mistress! What a high time! "
"Didn't you hear what Lin Nuan's friend just said? She's crazy!"
Chu Jiaoyang's mother pulled Chu Jiaoyang in front of her, her nails digging into the tender flesh of Chu Jiaoyang's slender arm. Chu Jiaoyang cried out in pain.
"It's because I'm your mother! That's why I asked you to come with me! Don't embarrass yourself here! " Chu Jiaoyang's mother lowered her voice. "It's enough that the Chu family has Chu Xun. If you go on like this, which wealthy family will dare to marry you in the future? Follow me! "
"I don't want anyone else to marry me! I only want Brother Huai 'an to marry me! I only want to be with Brother Huai 'an! " Chu Jiaoyang cried as she tried to pry her mother's hand away. She bent over without the slightest bit of composure and tried to compete with her mother. "Mom, you can't do this to me …"
"Chu Jiaoyang!" Chu Jiaoyang's mother was so angry that her entire body trembled. "Your father and I didn't raise you up just so that you could be someone else's concubine! You're the daughter of the Chu family … Your future marriage isn't something you can decide! Do you understand?! "
"I don't understand! How was that cheap?! Auntie Xia is also Daddy's woman, but you've always asked me to respect Auntie Xia … "Chu Jiaoyang cried so much that her makeup was almost ruined." Why can't I become the second Auntie Xia? "
As soon as Chu Jiaoyang finished speaking, Chu Jiaoyang's mother slapped her.
Chu Jiaoyang screamed and covered her face with her right hand. She stared at her mother in disbelief. "Mom … you hit me? Ever since we were young, you've never hit me before! "
"You shut up! In the future, I'll make you Auntie Xia … Auntie Xia, so what? Swallow back those words! Hong Xia is a sl * t … don't tell me you want to be a sl * t like her? "
Chu Jiaoyang's mother's voice was shrill.
She didn't know how to tell her daughter that the reason she said that was to maintain her pitifully thin marriage …
She didn't know how to tell her daughter that she actually hated that so-called Auntie Xia to the core, but she had no choice but to make everyone around her accept her!
If the people around her didn't accept her, then her husband would have to give Hong Xia a rightful position — the position of Mrs. Chu!
When that time came, what should she, who no longer had the support of her maiden family, do?
Could it be that she really had to leave the Chu family with her daughter? Not to mention … that man probably wouldn't let her take her daughter away!
It was her worry and hesitation that taught her daughter to respect a mistress who had destroyed her family, distorting her daughter's worldview. She wanted to be someone else's mistress, and she even thought that it was normal!
Chu Jiaoyang's mother was extremely regretful.
Chu Jiaoyang was her only daughter, and she was the apple of her eye. But in order to maintain a marriage that was in name only, look at what she had done to her daughter!
"Mom …" Chu Jiaoyang's tears fell. "Mom, how can you say that Auntie Xia is a sl * t? You clearly said …"
"She's such a person in the eyes of others! Do you want to be such a person too? Chu Jiaoyang, tell me! "Chu Jiaoyang's mother demanded sternly.
Chu Jiaoyang's mother made up her mind. Even if she didn't want this marriage, even if she was chased out of the Chu family …
She didn't want to ruin her daughter's entire life just to maintain a laughable marriage.
Chu Jiaoyang covered her face and shook her head. "But …"
"Can't you hear what others are saying in this cafe?" Chu Jiaoyang's mother's voice became increasingly stern, looking like she was ready to throw caution to the wind.
"But they're all spouting nonsense …"
"Chu Jiaoyang! When it comes to morality, there's only one person in this world who says you're wrong! You might be right, but two or three or even four or five people say you're wrong! You might still be right, but if everyone says you're wrong, you're definitely wrong! The country's laws already stipulate monogamy, yet you're willing to degrade yourself and become someone else's concubine? "
Chu Jiaoyang bit her lip and brought up her father's mistress in a low voice. "But you and Auntie Xia …"
Chu Jiaoyang's mother closed her reddened eyes. After making up her mind, she said, "Your maternal grandfather's family went bankrupt. Your father said that if I don't accept Hong Xia, if he finds out that you're disrespectful to her, he'll divorce me! He wants me to leave the Chu family! He wants me to never see you again in this lifetime! "
Chu Jiaoyang's mother choked. "What else can I do other than accept?"
Chu Jiaoyang's mother clutched her clothes tightly. "But in my heart, I hate your father and that sl * t Hong Xia. I want nothing more than for them to be killed by a car the moment they step out of the house! The kind where they die without a complete corpse! "
Chu Jiaoyang couldn't take the blow, and her entire body swayed.
Her entire view of the world … collapsed.
She had always thought that her mother treated Auntie Xia like a younger sister!
Every time her father came back from a social engagement at night, her mother would smile and invite her father to rest in Aunt Xia's room. She thought that her mother was sincerely helping Aunt Xia!
She didn't expect … that she hated Aunt Xia and her father so much.
"To put it bluntly, I'm not afraid of divorcing your father. You're a big kid now. I'm not afraid of your father marrying a stepmother and not treating you well! I can't ruin my only daughter just to maintain a disgusting marriage! " Chu Jiaoyang's mother cupped Chu Jiaoyang's smiling face, tears streaming down her face like a broken necklace. She choked back sobs as she said, "Jiaoyang … Mother gave you this name, don't ruin it!"
"Let's go!" Lin Nuan put on her coat, picked up her bag, and said to Fu Huai 'an and Bai Xiaonian.
Hopefully, Chu Jiaoyang would listen to her mother's words.
Bai Xiaonian originally had a stomach full of angry words to say to Chu Jiaoyang, but she swallowed them after hearing what Chu Jiaoyang's mother said.
At the end of the day, Chu Jiaoyang's father was a jerk!
As a woman, Bai Xiaonian sympathized with Chu Jiaoyang's mother, but at the same time, she was angry at her for not fighting hard enough. What was there to be afraid of after divorce? What was there to be afraid of if her company went bankrupt?
Why did she have to compromise in marriage?
"Let's go!" Bai Xiaonian sighed as well.
After coming out of the cafe, Lin Nuan turned around and glanced at Chu Jiaoyang, who was crying with her mother in the cafe. She had mixed feelings.
The education that parents gave to their children had too great of an impact on their children's lives …
Lin Nuan lowered her head and looked at Tuan Tuan, who was holding her hand. She saw that Tuan Tuan was looking up at her with his big, clear eyes, looking adorable. Lin Nuan squatted down and helped Tuan Tuan put on the down jacket's hood. She then tied the scarf around his neck and wrapped his little face.
She asked, "Are you cold, Tuan Tuan?"
Tuan Tuan shook his head.
"Do you still want to continue your date with your best friends?" Fu Huai 'an asked.
"Let's go together!" Bai Xiaonian winked at Lin Nuan. "Lest you guys can't bear to separate. Tuan Tuan, hang out with Sister Xiaonian today, okay? Sister Xiaonian will hold your hand, and Papa will hold Mama's! "
Tuan Tuan thought about it, then nodded and handed his gloved little chubby hand to Bai Xiaonian.
"What nonsense are you saying to the child!" Lin Nuan got up and chided Bai Xiaonian with reddened ears.
The back of her hand was grabbed by Fu Huai 'an's dry and strong hand. Lin Nuan turned her head and saw that Fu Huai' an was holding his glove with one hand and holding her hand with the other. Her ears couldn't help but turn even redder.
Bai Xiaonian held Tuan Tuan's hand and bent over to say something to him as they walked forward.
Fu Huai 'an said in a low voice, "Let's go …"
"Xiaonian and I want to go to the hotpot restaurant we used to eat at in school. Do you want to go?" Lin Nuan asked.
Fu Huai 'an nodded and glanced at Bai Xiaonian's back view. "Lu Jinnan has nothing on today either."
She instantly understood what Fu Huai 'an meant. She looked at Bai Xiaonian's side profile, who was chatting happily with Tuan Tuan, and said, "I'll send Lu Jinnan a WeChat message and see if he wants to go …"
Lin Nuan gave a simple WeChat message about going to the hotpot restaurant near the school with Fu Huai 'an, Bai Xiaonian, and Tuan Tuan. She also included the address.
Lu Jinnan didn't reply to Lin Nuan's message even when they arrived at the entrance.
Bai Xiaonian got out of the car with Tuan Tuan in her arms. Lin Nuan glanced at her phone and shook her head at Fu Huai 'an regretfully.
Fu Huai 'an held Lin Nuan's petite hand. "It's fine as long as we try our best for our friends! The outcome is their own choice. None of us can control it! "
Lin Nuan nodded and put on her coat before getting out of the car. Bai Xiaonian and Tuan Tuan were squatting at the entrance of the hotpot restaurant, looking at the row of palm-sized snowmen by the roadside.
It was snowing heavily outside, but the hotpot restaurant was steaming hot. Just looking at it made one feel warm.
There was a colorful sign hanging on the floor-to-ceiling window. It said that every snowman at each table would get a 20 yuan discount.
A couple couldn't resist looking for snow at the entrance to make a snowman. They quickly made it and took it to the waiter to exchange for vouchers.
