Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Alright, alright, Mom, don’t worry. After Mumu realizes her mistake, 1’11 have her move back in,” i Yun said, glancing sowhat nervously in i Shu’s direction as he spoke.
Even i Yan and i Jing felt sorry for i Shu.
But she, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised at all.
After all, i Mu had been the pampered young miss of the i family for so many years; it wouldn’t be so easy to kick her out.
Moreover, she had anticipated that this old lady would co and ddle in their affairs.
In her previous life, she had known that her mother often endured mistreatnt in the i family.
While the i family enjoyed the benefits brought by Bai Ling, they also found her too shrewd and capable. Although others didn’t dare to mistreat Bai Ling, this old lady took advantage of being Bai Ling’s mother-in-law and often made her suffer, both overtly and covertly.
At that ti, when Bai Ling and i Yun were a loving couple, she never complained to i Yun about it. She bore it alone, no matter how this old lady provoked her. She always showed utmost respect to i Yun’s mother.
But her gentle and virtuous deanor hadn’t earned her any goodwill from this old lady.
Even when she was aware that Bai Ling was pregnant, this old lady continued to favor Wang Yue, as if Wang Yue was her real daughter-in-law.
She even went along with i Yun in concealing the truth from Bai Ling and making the decision for Wang Yue to give birth to i Mu. When it beca impossible to hide, she even uttered the words that drove Bai Ling away.
So i Shu had absolutely no affection for this old lady. She had never regarded her as her grandmother.
In other words, except for her own brothers, none of the other people in the i family could be considered her family.
Although this old lady’s commotion didn’t imdiately make i Yun bring i Mu back, it did make him loosen his stance, which was sowhat effective.
She looked satisfied, narrowed her eyes and smiled, holding Wang Yue’s hand gently. “There are so many children in the house now, conflicts are inevitable. You are the mistress of this house, and you should know how to handle things. You don’t have to be overly accommodating to others. I’ve seen the grievances you and Mumu have suffered before. Now that I’m here, i Yun won’t let you continue to be wronged.”
Wang Yue secretly glanced at her husband’s darkening expression and felt uneasy. She quickly shed tears and said, “Mom, I know you’re good to , but I haven’t really suffered. i Yun has always been good to , and the children in the family get along harmoniously. This ti, it’s all Mumu’s fault!”
“You’re such a kind-hearted child,” the old lady sighed helplessly as she patted Wang Yue’s hand. “Alright, stop crying. I ca here suddenly, and it frightened you.”
After saying this, she looked at i Yun, and her face turned cold. “Don’t bla Wang Yue for this. She didn’t inform about this matter. I found out from soone else. No matter what, i Mu is your own daughter. Now that you and Wang Yue have such a good relationship, isn’t it good for the family to be happy together?”
“Mom, I understand,” i Yun grasped his mother’s aning and sighed. “Yanyan and All Jing also miss you.”
He waved to his two sons, who were wearing resentful expressions, and said, “Co here, talk to Grandma.”
“Grandma,” the two of them reluctantly walked over and greeted her.
The old lady was a bit indifferent to them, but after all, they were her own grandsons. She had prepared so gifts to give them. “You two must study hard, listen to your Aunt Wang, and don’t be rebellious or cause trouble. Let your father worry less.”
“We understand,” i Yan accepted the gifts with a cold and distant expression, then quietly returned to i Shu’s side and tugged on her sleeve.
i Shu curiously lowered her head to look and saw that this boy was looking at her with a very distressed expression.
A warm feeling seed to wash over her heart, and i Shu silently shook her head to indicate that she wasn’t bothered at all.
Watching i Shu being ostracized by her family, Wang Yue found imnse satisfaction in her heart. She put on a smile, and her face showed even more joy. “Mom, I’m sure you haven’t eaten yet. I’ll go to the kitchen now and personally cook a few dishes you like.”
“You’re truly filial,” she looked at Wang Yue’s retreating figure with satisfaction, then turned to give her son a stern look. “This is a good daughter-in-law, a good wife. She knows how to adapt to circumstances, not only managing household affairs but also preparing soups for you. What more could you want?”
“I’m not dissatisfied,” i Yun suddenly lowered his head and said, “Mom, 1 rember that Bai Ling used to frequently cook soup for you.”
He rembered that Bai Ling was a pampered young lady who rarely lifted a finger to do household chores. However, to please his mother, she had taken ti out of her busy schedule several tis to return ho and cook herself. She did this to nourish his mother’s health, but ironically, she almost fell ill herself due to lack of rest.
In his heart, he always cherished Bai Ling’s goodness.
Everything she had done for this family in the past, far from fading with the passage of ti, beca even clearer to him. Many forgotten details from the past would resurface unexpectedly.
Whenever he faced i Shu, this feeling beca especially pronounced..
