“Ah Hao…” Xia Jingshu said as she looked at her son who was strangely quiet. She knew her son best and could see the pain and hurt that occasionally flashed past his face.
She had only seen the same expression on his face once – when Han Xue had betrayed him.
“After we return from this trip, you should have a conversation with Yan Yan. If she refuses to cut off contact with the Mo family and is unable to extract herself completely from her relationship with her ex-husband, I’d support your decision to give up on her.”
Xia Jingshu heaved a long sigh. Frankly, she liked her daughter-in-law and thought that she had never once mistreated her daughter-in-law, but her daughter-in-law’s only mistake was that they chose their own sides when it came to this matter regarding Yuan Yuan.Update by vip novel
When she saw how upset and troubled her son was because of his relationship, she felt bad for him and felt that He Xiyan didn’t seem to love her son that deeply from the way she was handling certain issues.
She only hoped that her son would be able to find a wife that would be considerate and kind.
Ye Hao turned to look at his mother and pursed his lips slightly but he didn’t respond to her words. No one could see the tears that pricked at his amber-colored eyes under the lens of his spectacles.
He was crying. His tears spilled out of the corners of his eyes and under the sunlight, they seemed crystalline and transparent.
Xia Jingshu continued, “Yuan Yuan is her child and it isn’t a problem if she brings him over to the castle for a few days occasionally. I could even understand if she had to visit him when he fell ill but when I see how Yuan Yuan is all she cares about and how she’s unable to completely cut off ties with the Mo family, I find her actions very unacceptable.”
Xia Jingshu said with a frown. It had been her idea to bring the entire family out for a holiday without He Xiyan since she hoped that her daughter-in-law would be able to make use of this time to reflect on her own actions. She hoped that He Xiyan would realize that she shouldn’t neglect her own family, her son and her granddaughter. She wanted her daughter-in-law to realize which family was her true family.
Ye Hao continued to lie there motionless. However, his hands had already balled into fists, as though he was trying to hold something back in.
The nursemaid carried Xi Xi over, and Ye Snr, the nanny, and the security guards were also present.
Xi Xi was clad in a pretty pink princess dress and wore a pink sunhat. She was still very young, so she couldn’t speak but she would occasionally use her actions to express herself. She would pout when she was angry, stick out her tongue when she was hungry, and occasionally shake her head or wave her hands.
She loved smiling and would smile and babble words that no one was able to understand.
Xi Xi reached out her hand and pointed at a small dog nearby, then stuck her tongue out at the dog, trying to express her curiosity and excitement at the sight of the dog.
Ye Snr. stood by his son’s side. His health was in poor condition, so he rarely traveled. He had decided to come on the spur of the moment since he thought that he should travel around more now that he didn’t have much time left on earth.
“Ah Hao,” Ye Snr. said as he looked at his son. “I’ve already heard about what happened with He Xiyan. I haven’t got anything else to add but you should really keep your wife in line. If she continues to have such an ambiguous relationship with the Mo family and causes a scandal in the future, you’d become a joke in the eyes of the public. I don’t wish to see such a thing happen, so I hope you’d understand.”
Ye Snr. didn’t care much about his son’s marriage but he was concerned about how this might impact the Ye family’s reputation that had been built over several hundred years.
