"Shut up——" Qi Qun shook with rage, "Weihuan, can’t you stop provoking me at a time ? You’re twenty-six, how can you still behave like a child? Are you even a child?"
Li Weihuan sneered, "Yes, I am not a child, nor do I see myself as one. I’ve grown up, I’m an adult, I am married, I have a wife! So I can take charge of my own life now, you don’t need to tell me what to do anymore!"
"Telling you what to do? Weihuan, how can you talk to your mother like that? Is it so unbearable for you to talk to me without antagonizing me! Am I so offensive to you? Don’t forget who gave birth to you; Have you no conscience at all!"
"Conscience?" Li Weihuan chuckled, "Okay, let’s talk about the conscience. Yi Mu was the girl you took a liking to initially, right! You also encouraged me to marry her behind the scenes, right! Now that I’ve registered the marriage with her, doesn’t this fit within your wishes? So why are you making such a fuss now, what is the meaning of this? What do you mean?!"
"What do I mean?" Qi Qun shivered with rage, "What are you saying I mean? Let me ask you, who gave you permission to go and register without a word? Would it harm you to discuss it with me? Even if she was the girl I had once chosen for you, doesn’t a mother have a say in her son’s marriage anymore? Are you treating registering for a marriage as child’s play? Huh?"
"The girl you chose, you encouraged me to get engaged and marry her, and now that I’ve done according to your wishes, you’ve turned it into a secret? So tell me, how does one make it known then? Should I announce it with a gong and drums?"
"Nonsense——" Qi Qun roared with rage, a sense of tightness and pain in her chest, tears almost forced their way out, "Weihuan, do you really have to defy me? Can’t you learn from your two sisters to obey me? Can’t you spare me some worries?" As Qi Qun spoke, tears fell from her eyes.
Li Weihuan looked at her and said, "Enough, Mom, you only have three children, and two of them obey you, isn’t that enough? Besides, I did want to change, I wanted to be a good son, I went along with all the decisions you made for me then, but I only asked you for one thing, did you promise me? No, do you know that I..."
Li Weihuan bit his lip, unable to finish his sentence, his eyes starting to sting.
He turned around, lit a cigarette, and put it in his lips, his fingers shaking slightly. The moment he closed his eyes, tears fell. He quickly wiped them away under the guise of smoking.
Seeing Li Weihuan cry , Qi Qun sat down on the sofa and started crying, covering her face.
When it came to Nanxi, she lost her temper but wouldn’t dare say anything too out of line, especially in the Lu Family.
Otherwise, if she truly angered the old patriarch or Lu Yinchu, the twenty percent of shares given to Weihuan might vanish.
It was about ten minutes later when Lu Yinchu came back. The argument in the living room had subsided, but the atmosphere was awful.
The old patriarch glanced at his grandson and said to him, "You handle this, I’m tired now. Help me upstairs to rest."
Xia Zhen responded, quickly rushing over to help, then giving her son a meaningful look.
Before Lu Yinchu came back, Xia Zhen had explained the situation at home to him, so Lu Yinchu had a rough idea what was going on.
"Weihuan, let’s go for a walk, I have something to tell you."
After the patriarch left the room, Lu Yinchu didn’t even take a sip of tea. After finishing his sentence, he got up and left the room.
Li Weihuan pressed his lips together and got up to follow him.
Seeing this, Qi Qun felt even more resentful. Look at him, running to Lu Yinchu at his beck and call, yet ignoring his own mother’s voice, it was a real cold shower.
Upstairs, Nanxi was also feeling a bit tense because she’d heard some arguing downstairs.
Yi Mu was terrified, shaking Nanxi’s hand and saying, "Oh my God, don’t tell me they’re going to start fighting in the house, it looked like my mother-in-law has arrived!"
Nanxi consoled her, "Don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare to fight in front of grandpa!"
Yi Mu anxiously replied, "I’m not so sure, I think that my mother-in-law is not an easy person. Even though she treats me well, I’m clear that she’s more interested in my family than me! To be honest, if it was in the past, I wouldn’t have married into a family with a mother-in-law , I’ve read too many stories about family feuds, and with my personality I’m not sparring with a powerful mother-in-law, but who can resist Weihuan? For him, I have to put up with it. Moreover, Weihuan and I have agreed we won’t live in the Li house, we’ll rent a place for now..."
