She only has one son and will rely on him for her later years. She won’t allow him to be perpetually led astray by Xia Nuo.
Yin Cui is very self-aware.
She understands that the conflict between her and the Xia Family will never be resolved.
If Leng Yan continues to stay with Xia Nuo and remains bewitched by her, sooner or later, he’ll deny having her as a mother under Xia Nuo’s influence.
There are many cases where n forget their mothers once they have wives, and she knows her son well. He doesn’t have much affection for her, and he’s deeply infatuated with Xia Nuo.
So the likelihood of him distancing from his own mother because of Xia Nuo is quite high.
She may be young now, and it’s nothing to be neglected by her son. However, when she grows old and if her husband passes away, her husband’s children will certainly not care for her as their stepmother.
By then, if Leng Yan also disregards her, her miserable fate is imaginable.
The more Yin Cui thinks about it, the more frightened she becos, and she’s increasingly determined to find Leng Yan a wife that satisfies her and aligns with her intentions.
Since the indirect approach of matchmaking for Leng Yan doesn’t work, she has to target Xia Nuo directly.
When she hears the knock on the door, Xia Nuo runs to open it and is surprised to find her supposed mother-in-law standing there.
"Is there sothing you need?" Xia Nuo asks indifferently, showing no intention of inviting her in.
Yin Cui slightly lifts her chin, frowning sharply and says, "What kind of attitude is this? You’re an uneducated woman. Didn’t your family teach you to show respect to your mother-in-law?"
Xia Nuo couldn’t help but sneer.
What is she up to, suddenly appearing and lecturing her like this?
Stepping aside, Xia Nuo’s tone remains placid, "Please co in."
She is indeed right; she is her mother-in-law, and Xia Nuo certainly ought to give her so respect.
Yin Cui takes the lead to walk in; it’s her first ti visiting here. The ho isn’t large, but it’s decorated warmly, with a real sense of ho.
Originally planning to start nitpicking as soon as she entered, she realizes she will need to criticize other matters.
Leng Yan received Xia Nuo’s text ssage and hurried back.
When he enters, he happens to hear his mother’s voice.
"Is this your cooking skill? Such awful food, you prepare it for my son every day. Are you sincerely trying to make him lose his appetite? I knew it, a woman like you can’t do anything right. I’ve enrolled you in a cooking class; starting tomorrow, you’re going to learn how to cook every day!"
Leng Yan frowns slightly; he strides into the living room, expressionless, "Mom, why are you here?"
Seeing her son, Yin Cui imdiately softens her expression, showing a benevolent smile.
She puts down her chopsticks, gets up to approach him, holding his hand tenderly, "Xiao Yan, Mom wouldn’t know what kind of life you’re living if she didn’t co here. It would be one thing to marry a woman five years older than you, but she can’t even cook. How can she take good care of you? Mom thought she was older, so she might be better at caring for others than other won... Fortunately, I ca today, otherwise I wouldn’t have known my son is following a woman older than him and always suffering..."
Xia Nuo’s face darkened. Each ntion of her being older than Leng Yan pierced her Achilles’ heel.
She hates most when others point out she’s older than Leng Yan!
Leng Yan naturally noticed Xia Nuo’s expression; he grabs his mother’s hand and wordlessly leads her outside.
"Mom, let take you ho."
"I’ve just arrived, why go back?" Yin Cui certainly refuses to leave.
Leng Yan stops and says, "If you don’t go, Xia Nuo and I will leave."
