“Then I’ll follow you. Wherever you go, I’ll go.” Lu Qingyan hugged Jiang Nanshu tightly, refusing to let go.
Jiang Nanshu laughed in exasperation: “Lu Qingyan, how old are you? Still so clingy.”
“What’s wrong with a man being clingy to his wife? Isn’t that normal?”
Ever since Jiang Nanshu became pregnant, Lu Qingyan had become exceptionally clingy. Except when he had to go to work, he was almost always by Jiang Nanshu’s side.
He took care of Jiang Nanshu’s daily needs meticulously.
Jiang Nanshu couldn’t find any fault with him.
Because of Lu Qingyan, Jiang Nanshu’s mood relaxed. The two of them laughed all the way back to the villa on the hillside.
However, neither of them expected that Lu’s mother was already waiting inside.
Upon seeing his mother, Lu Qingyan’s smiling face instantly fell. His expression was indifferent: “What are you doing here again?”
He glanced at the maids around him: “You let her in again?”
The maid was also in a difficult position: “Young Master, your mother is threatening suicide. We…”
This time, Lu Qingyan showed no mercy: “You are all fired. I will select a group of suitable people to look after my villa.”
The maids hesitated, as if they wanted to say something, but then stopped.
But Lu Qingyan was always a man of his word. They said nothing, and all turned to pack their belongings and leave.
Lu’s mother looked at Lu Qingyan incredulously: “Now your mother’s life means nothing to you? Lu Qingyan, I went through so much to give birth to you, raise you, and this is how you repay me? I even have to attempt suicide to get into your house? Hah, I should have strangled you in the first place.”
Lu Qingyan felt a throbbing pain in his brow; he was truly fed up with this kind of life.
He wanted to get along well with his mother, but she was a stubborn person; once she made up her mind, it was impossible to change it.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyan suddenly found himself somewhat amused.
Wasn’t he, in a way, another version of his mother?
“Then should I give this life back to you right now? What exactly do you want me to stop bothering my life? The past ten years have already been terrible because of you. Now I’m married and have children. What more do you want before you’re satisfied?” Lu Qingyan asked coldly, staring at his mother, wanting an answer from her.
Did she really not want him to be happy?
Would she only be satisfied if his life became like hers?
Lu’s mother’s lips trembled, her gaze lowered guiltily, then she looked at Jiang Nanshu, who stood silently to the side.
Lu’s mother took a deep breath, her demeanor elegant and noble: “I’m not here to see you. I’m here to see Jiang Nanshu. I heard she’s pregnant. Even if there were unpleasant things in the past, I can let it all go for the sake of this child. I have one condition: your first child must be raised by me personally. You’re still young, so you have plenty of opportunities to have more children.”
She spoke as if it were perfectly natural, as if Jiang Nanshu was simply supposed to do it.
Jiang Nanshu laughed in exasperation: “Who do you think you are? My child has to be raised by you? How dare you be so shameless!”
She might only have this one child in her life, and even if it wasn’t an accident, Jiang Nanshu only wanted one.
She didn’t want her love for the child to be evenly distributed; she wanted it to belong exclusively to this one child, to make it the happiest child.
Jiang Nanshu was speechless with anger at Lu’s mother. She shoved Lu Qingyan aside and walked upstairs, sneering, “Whoever’s mother it is, they should deal with it.”
Lu’s mother’s voice rose: “I’m your mother-in-law! How dare you talk to me like that? Don’t you have any manners?!”
Lu Qingyan took a deep breath, his pupils sharp and cold: “Do you really want to see me lose my wife and children before you’re satisfied?”
