“Rumors?” Madam Mo did not trust her. “There are pictures of you two together, and you still say they are rumors?”
“Mom, no, I…”
Just as Qiao Mianmian wanted to explain, a voice beside her said solemnly, “This matter has already been clarified. What else is there to ask? I know my wife’s personality well. Mom, if you hear such rumors next time, please ask me first. You’re scaring Mianmian with your tone.
“I brought her home to strengthen our familial ties, not for her to feel aggrieved.”
Finishing his sentence, he reached out under the table and squeezed Qiao Mianmian’s hands.
He showed his trust in her with his actions.
Seeing that, Madam Mo went pale with anger. “What rumors? Just because she said they are rumors? Ah Si, don’t trust her too much. Do you think I’ll be unreasonable and say this without any evidence?
“You trust an outsider over your own Mom?”
Madam Mo was fuming.
Her own son would rather believe the words of an outsider over hers.
At this critical moment, he actually chose that woman and did not consider her feelings.
He embarrassed her.
She exploded with anger and did not have much rationality left. Out of spite, she said some words she had suppressed.
Old Madam’s expression changed immediately upon hearing Madam Mo’s words.
Mo Yesi’s eyes darkened. Although his expression remained the same, his eyes were cold.
Mo Shixiu frowned. He didn’t expect Madam Mo to say that.
He always thought his mother was elegant, gentle, and knowledgeable. She had been educated well since young and would never say such hurtful and disrespectful words to someone.
These words were what other crude mothers-in-law would say.
Saying her daughter-in-law was an outsider was too hurtful.
“Wenpei, you’ve terribly disappointed me today! How can you say such words as a mother-in-law? Mianmian has married Ah Si and is now part of the Mo family. How can you say she’s an outsider.”
Madam Mo realized she shouldn’t have said those words out of anger.
But she wanted to maintain her stance.
It was too late to take back her words.
She would also never apologize to her daughter-in-law.
After all, she didn’t feel like she had done anything wrong.
How could she consider this scandalous daughter-in-law family?
Since the words were out, Madam Mo didn’t hold back. “Mom, how can we still consider her as Mo family’s daughter-in-law after she did such a disgraceful thing? So what if I don’t see her as family? I don’t want such a daughter-in-law.”
“Enough.” Old Madam hit the table. She said in anger, “Ah Si already explained that it was just a rumor. Mianmian is his wife. If it was true, do you think he’d act like this?
“Do you think he understands his wife less than you do?
“You shouldn’t treat the rumor as reality. Look, you’ve even ruined our dinner and made everyone uneasy just because you believed it.”
