Yue Tingfeng’s car finally reached, and Mrs. Yue said, “Mom, the car’s here. Let’s go.”
Grandma Su remained motionless. She felt pressure in her chest due to her anger.
Mrs. Yue said, “Mom, let’s go to the hotel. I’ll take you to watch Qingsi’s film.”
Frowning, Grandma Su replied, “I’m old. It’s tiring. Those places aren’t suitable for me.”
Being the lady that she was, she sulked.
Grandma Su appeared oblivious to that. “Okay, then. It’s hot, so it’ll be better if you go home. We’ll talk about it in another two days.”
Mrs. Yue sat in the car and closed the door before rolling down the windows. She stretched her head out and turned to Grandma Su, saying, “Ma… I’m already a fifty-year-old lady. Tell me, do you really still have to worry about me?”
Grandma Su opened her mouth to say something.
Mrs. Yue remarked immediately, “Mom, stop thinking that your daughter is an idiot. I know what kind of daughter-in-law I want. I know that better than anyone else.”
Grandma Su was utterly shocked. Her stupid daughter… Why…
Mrs. Yue chuckled before saying, “I know better than anyone else the kind of person Yan Qingsi is. I think her good side is good, and I also think that her bad side is good. I feel that she should be a part of my family. You’re both old. Don’t think so much about it. Go home. Rest. I’ll come to visit you in a few days.”
Mrs. Yue waved her hand, as Yue Tingfeng drove off.
Grandma Su was shocked and could only stare at the car driving off. That…
‘She understood everything? Does she really know everything?’
The only feeling that Grandma Su felt was a desire to vomit blood. She thought that her daughter knew nothing and was unable to pick up hints that were given, but in the end, her daughter played her for a fool and was unwilling to answer questions directly.
Mrs. Yue gestured a peace sign from within the car.
Since Grandma Su was her mother, it was impossible that she did not understand her mother’s words. Despite being able to talk to each other most of the time, there were still occasions where they did not see eye-to-eye.
Mrs. Yue’s fondness for Yan Qingsi never once changed, but it was not a good thing to go against her own mother as well. She wanted to wait until her parents met and got to know Yan Qingsi. Things might be better from then onwards.
Mrs. Yue had immense confidence in Yan Qingsi. Their treasured lucky charm would definitely be good enough to win over Mrs. Yue’s parents.
…
Back at the hotel, Yue Tingfeng unloaded Mrs. Yue’s luggage from the car. Just as he was about to enter, he heard a voice.
“Ningmei…”
The voice was simultaneously foreign and familiar. Both mother and son turned to look, and upon seeing the person standing at the door, they were startled.
That person…
Yue Tingfeng’s brows furrowed, and his expression turned icy-cold.
Yue Pengcheng took one step forward and said, “Ningmei… I… I came to see you.”
Indeed, the person was Yue Pencheng, having just been released from prison the day before. He was too embarrassed to bring up the suffering he endured.
Once he was out, he spent an entire night ruminating before coming to the decision to look for Mrs. Yue. He had abandoned the Yue family and renounced his heirship for the sake of Ding Fu all those years ago. It was already too late for regret.
After recognizing Ding Fu’s true character, Yue Pengcheng’s mind was fixated on eradicating the woman who cucked him. He knew that he could no longer be with Ding Fu, and even if he was able to scrimp and get by, his days would be marred with misery because he was broke.
Yue Pengcheng thought long and hard, and when he concluded that Mrs. Yue was a sucker, he wanted to resume his position as the Yue family’s ruler.
Thus, Yue Pengcheng came looking for Mrs. Yue, fully intending to get back with her.
