Chapter 529: Not On Good Terms In The First Place

Translator:?Larbre Studio?Editor:?Larbre Studio

Chen Yunlu was angry. She would feel really unhappy inside if the daughter of Jing Ruyue were to become her daughter-in-law.

“What’s wrong with her? She doesn’t mind your son being a cripple and she doesn’t covet your son’s status. She painstakingly gave birth to a child alone so your son would still have a legacy. Mom, just put yourself in my shoes and think—don’t you think a good girl like her is hard to find in this world?”

Huo Yunshen had already set his mind on Xu Xiyan anyway. He would marry no other than her in his lifetime.

“I know, but I’m just feeling displeased. Whenever I think of her mother, I will…”

Chen Yunlu couldn’t describe how displeased she was.

“Mom, you should respect the dead. Auntie Jing has already been gone for more than ten years. You should let go of your grudges against her. Besides, why should the younger generation bear the grudges of the older generation? Don’t you wish to see your next generation living a happy life?”

“…”

Chen Yunlu was speechless.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t understand those reasonings. It was just that she couldn’t let go of her grudges.

It was just like a thorn in her heart. It hurt whenever it was tampered with and it was difficult to root it out.

In the end, Chen Yunlu was still stubborn. “In any case, I will only recognize my own granddaughter. I’m taking her back to the Huo family house after she is discharged from the hospital. I don’t want the blood of our Huo family to stray outside.”

“I know, Mom. You should go home now!”

Huo Yunshen would bring the child back to the Huo family. He would finalize his marriage plans with Xu Xiyan after settling recent affairs, and bring both mother and daughter home as legitimate wife and daughter.

Huo Yunshen herded his mother out of the ward. When Chen Yunlu came to the door, she realized something was amiss. “Yunshen, where’s your wheelchair? You can walk again?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s great!”

Chen Yunlu felt this was great news. Her son who had been disabled for five years actually stood up again.

Chen Yunlu left the ward in a pleasant mood. But when she got out to the corridor, she met Xu Xiyan who was waiting outside the ward.

Their eyes met. They glared at each other as if they were born enemies.

Chen Yunlu gave a scornful look and Xu Xiyan behaved like a stranger in front of her. Neither of them greeted the other.

They were not on good terms in the first place anyway. There was no way Xu Xiyan was going to act humble in front of Chen Yunlu.

Even if she had backed down 10,000 steps, she would not accommodate her just because she was Huo Yunshen’s mother and would not even act against her will just to please her if she were to be with Huo Yunshen in the future.

She believed that a harmonious relationship between mother and daughter-in-law could not be forced.

Chen Yunlu let out a long sigh, feeling contempt for Jing Xi inside. She looked up and down at Jing Xi. There was nothing impressive about her. She looked like a floozy—just like her mother.

Especially that attitude of hers; her lack of morals was nothing new.

But if she thought about it, Jing Ruyue had passed away when Jing Xi was still young. It was no wonder that Jing Xi was so rude now because Jing Ruyue had not been around to discipline her daughter.

At this time, Chen Yunlu put on an air of an elder and spoke, sounding displeased. “Jing Xi, come with me. I have something to say to you.”

Xu Xiyan narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “What is it that you can’t tell me here?”

Jing Xi broke yet another virtue. One more point off for disrespecting elders, Chen Yunlu thought.

Chen Yunlu sneered at her disdainfully, “If you don’t mind someone else eavesdropping on your mother’s past, I don’t mind telling you here at this very spot.”

Her mother was suddenly mentioned. Xu Xiyan scrunched up her delicate eyebrows and asked, “What do you want to say?”

“Hmph,” Chen Yunlu snorted. She crossed her arms and began to walk out of the hospital.

Xu Xiyan didn’t know what Chen Yunlu had up her sleeve, but curiosity urged her to catch up with her.

They came out to a relatively secluded place in the hospital garden.

Chen Yunlu stopped in her tracks, and stood firmly for a while before turning around on her heels to face Jing Xi. She raised her chin at her slightly, showing off her air and superiority of a lady of a wealthy family.
