He pushed her hand away, furrowing his brows and looking at her seriously. "So what? Even if we signed the Agreement, we can still turn the act into reality!"
"..." His seriousness made her feel a bit scared. If Jiang Chengmu was joking, she wouldn't be so tense.
"You..." After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't convince herself that he would like her. "Stop joking. Are you trying to get back at me because I made you wear a green hat? But Jiang Chengmu, we agreed to play around before getting married. You can't go back on your word!"
"Wife, I'm not joking!" He turned his head and looked straight at her. The sound of a horn honking came from behind, and he slowly came back to his senses. "We'll discuss this properly when we get home!"
"..." She didn't refute him, hoping that he was just being impulsive.
...
Xue Yiyang originally wanted to stay at his grandfather's house for a few more days; however, a piece of news online completely disrupted his plans. Helplessly, he could only have his secretary book an afternoon flight back to A City.
The red Ferrari hurriedly stopped at the villa entrance. Stepping into the living room, Xue Yiyang quickly walked over to Madam, who was sitting on the sofa enjoying tea, and slammed the newspaper down heavily on the coffee table.
"Mom, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to cause trouble for Qiqi? I wondered why you were in such a hurry to come back; is it because you wanted to see her reputation wrecked with your own eyes? How could you be so cruel?"
"Coming back just to accuse me? I'm doing this to completely cut off your thoughts about her. Gu Lvq Qi is just like her lowly mother. These photos being released will help the Jiang family see their daughter-in-law for who she really is. What have I done wrong? If she were truly innocent, a mere scandal wouldn't have much impact."
"Mom, how can you be so unreasonable? We have already broken up; why do you still want to ruin her? Even if you hate her mother, you shouldn't take it out on her!"
"I do hate that shameless woman who is her mother! But I'm doing this for you. Don't forget your identity. To prevent any rekindling of old feelings between you two, I have no choice but to do this!"
"You keep saying it's for my own good, but in reality, it's for yourself. You only think about your own hatred and have never considered my feelings. No wonder Dad doesn't want to come home. How could a mother filled with such hatred and lacking in understanding of forgiveness ever catch Dad's eye?"
"Xue Yiyang, you!" In a fit of rage, Xiao Jingqiu rushed forward, her face stiffening as she raised her hand and smashed the teacup onto the floor. The most painful and unbearable wound of her life was torn open by her beloved son, and the overwhelming pain surged straight to her heart.
With a crash, the teacup shattered into pieces, and the splattered tea soaked into Xue Yiyang's pant leg, burning him with its heat.
The air was filled with a faint aroma of Pu'er tea. Xue Yiyang looked at his mother on the sofa, who wore an expression of deep sorrow. He stood there proudly, yet his handsome face reflected both pain and sadness, as a profound sense of despair and helplessness washed over him.
His mother had transformed from the proud and strong woman she once was into a jealous woman who would stop at nothing to win his father back. It was indeed a pitiful situation, but she should not have imposed all her hatred onto him without regard for his wishes.
Breathing heavily, Xiao Jingqiu looked at her rebellious son with red eyes. She had once thought he was her everything and believed she could control his entire life. Yet unexpectedly, everything had developed in the opposite direction from what she had anticipated.
Ultimately, it had spiraled out of control to this extent...
