Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Will Not Interfere _1 Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Will Not Interfere _1 Huo Beijiang had been making decisions for himself since he was in fifth grade of elementary school, and he never allowed anyone to interfere, let alone with something as major as his marriage?
Moreover, yesterday, Huo Jinlan made a scene in Xiao Wang Village with her biological parents, and now the whole Qi Li Town knows about it. There were those who were taken to the police station, those who fell into the river, and those who were hospitalized.
The news spread like wildfire, and by this morning, the farmer’s market was all a buzz about it. Jinlan and her biological mother were being slandered with rumors.
They heard all kinds of degrading words.
Saddened by what she heard, Xue Shan couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Lucky for her, she had quarreled with Jinlan. Otherwise, she would have followed Jinlan’s advice and been there too. Would she then have ended up as the subject of everyone’s ridicule?
This thought made Yuan Xueshan feel uncomfortable.
Before she could finish, Huo Beijiang interrupted and said, “Do I not have the right to make decisions about my own marriage? Mom, I am your son. You should understand me better than anyone else.”
Yuan Xueshan looked awkwardly at him, feeling even more guilty. Of course, she knew what her son wanted, but at this point, she was even worse than the mother-in-law. Not only did she not help, but she also stirred up trouble.
Huo Beijiang’s intertwined hands rhythmically tapped against each other, trying hard to suppress his anger.
Only he knew how angry he was.
But this was his mother. Other than being angry, there was nothing he could do. If it was one of his subordinates, they’d be beaten and hospitalized. Even if this person was his superior!
He could also find a way to fight back.
“This is the last time, I will make my own decisions in the future, no one else will have a say.” He looked at each of the three, his gaze moving from one to the other, and finally landed on Yuan Xueshan.
“Mom,” he hooked a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, “what do you think of this family?”
“What do you mean?” Yuan Xueshan guiltily asked back.
Huo Beijiang didn’t expect her to figure it out on her own. Over the years, his father had been good to her, but this goodness has also restricted her perspective and experience.
Her self-awareness has gotten worse, and she even let herself be manipulated by Huo Jinlan.
Thinking of this, Huo Beijiang’s gaze scanned Huo Linong with slight ridicule. It seems like the one whose intelligence had declined wasn’t just his mother.
He would be ashamed if others found out.
“You may not understand, but I suggest you think more about it. Ponder more when you’re free,” Huo Beijiang said cryptically, “From my standpoint, I don’t like the idea of you and dad divorcing. But if you two are determined to divorce, I, as the younger generation, will not intervene.”
Yuan Xueshan’s face kept changing color. It was only now that she realized just how stupid she had been.
She considered having an exceptional son as her immunity. However, a son is a son, and a husband is a husband. There is never a case where a son should dictate what the father should do.
“Respect is mutual, think about it, have you respected me?”
This sentence was undoubtedly a heavy blow. Huo Beijiang remained calm and composed, but every word and every sentence he spoke was like a merciless slap across Yuan Xueshan’s face.
Only because she’s an elder does she get such treatment. If it were someone else, they certainly wouldn’t be treated so nicely.
Zhou Yongxian gave Yuan Xueshan an annoyed look. Her daughter-in-law was so foolish that she regretted ever approving of her. How could she have chosen such a foolish bride for her son?
Now being chided by her son?
Where was she when it all started?
