Chapter 22 You'll regret it later!

"Judging others by your own standards, that's your idea, not Ye Yu's."

Jiang Shiyuan laughed, her expression cold as ice. "Don't assume everyone is as crude and shallow as you. Ye Yu is good, and even if he isn't, you have no right to judge him."

Sure enough, something happened; she protected him very closely!

Xie Jinghuai flew into a rage, his aura suddenly turning fierce. "Jiang Shiyuan, you better come back obediently and be Mrs. Xie. I will forgive and forget what you said or did before."

"If you continue to be so willful and continue to get involved with Ye Yu, then you'll regret what I do."

Jiang Shiyuan's eyes remained completely unmoved. "Regret? Is there anything I regret more than marrying you?"

Xie Jinghuai felt as if he had been struck by a hammer in the chest, and a strong taste of blood rose from deep in his throat.

Just as I was getting anxious, a knock came at the door:

"Madam, the young master just said he's having trouble breathing. Please go and check on him!"

"I'm coming!"

Jiang Shiyuan sprang up from the bed, shoved Xie Jinghuai aside, and quickly disappeared from the room.

Xie Jinghuai stood there with a gloomy expression, his phoenix eyes filled with frost. He raised his hand and touched his slapped cheek with his fingertips.

The emotions were chaotic and disordered, complex, and intertwined.

He couldn't quite describe how he felt, but there was one thing he knew for sure—

Since Jiang Shiyuan married him, she belongs to him and is his property.

He wouldn't let her go, nor would he indulge her whims and let her continue her undignified tantrums!

...

When Jiang Shiyuan rushed to the room, Tongtong's small body was already asleep on the bed.

"Madam, I just gave the young master his asthma medication, and he's fine now," Butler Ning said gently, reassuring him.

I heard that the family of three was going to stay at the old house tonight, so Butler Ning came all the way from Guanlan Garden to stay here and help take care of the young master.

Jiang Shiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, her forehead covered in fine sweat. "Thank you."

"Madam, you're too kind. It's what I should do."

Butler Ning paused for a moment, then said earnestly, "Madam, you seem so worried about the young master. You must miss the child terribly, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan lowered her eyelashes.

Regardless of whether they miss their child or not, any mother with a conscience would not sit idly by if she heard that her child was in trouble.

“Madam, please forgive my bluntness, but the eldest young master is a bit stubborn. This is his first time in a marriage, and he's not used to it and doesn't quite understand how couples should get along, so he inevitably makes some mistakes. But the eldest young master isn't a bad person, so please calm down and don't take it to heart.”

Jiang Shiyuan found these words utterly ridiculous.

When they first got married, she could still comfort and console herself. But they've been married for five years, and he's still not used to it.

He would never get used to it, and she didn't want to wrong herself anymore to understand his coldness.

"Also, the young master actually misses you very much, but the child is just not good at expressing himself."

Jiang Shiyuan smiled faintly and said softly, "I know, it's quite late, you should go back and rest."

Butler Ning knew she was worried that their conversation would disturb the young master's rest, so he immediately withdrew.

Jiang Shiyuan walked to the bedside and sat down, tucking the blanket around the child.

"Hmm..." Tongtong kicked her legs and rolled over.

Just then, the phone screen next to the pillow lit up, and a WeChat message popped up.

Jiang Shiyuan picked it up and swiped the screen with her fingertips.

The screen is filled with the conversation between Tongtong and Lin Zhixin:

[Tongtong: Aunt Xinxin, can't you stay here with me tonight? I really want you to stay...]

[Xinxin's Aunt: Tongtong, I'm sorry, Auntie can't stay there, it's not appropriate.]

[Tongtong: Is it because of Mommy? Auntie, don't be afraid, Daddy and I will protect you, Mommy won't say anything more!]

Jiang Shiyuan frowned slightly, and her fingertips turned white.

[Xinxin's Aunt: Tongtong, thank you for thinking of your aunt. But since you've finally met your mommy, spend as much time with her as possible tonight.]

[Tongtong: But... I still can't bear to part with you. I wish I could see Auntie every day.]

[Aunt Xinxin: Yes, there will be opportunities in the future, no rush.]

[Tongtong: Goodnight, Auntie~ Love you~~ MUA~!]

[Aunt Xinxin: Auntie loves Tongtong too, goodnight~]

By the time Jiang Shiyuan finished reading it all, her hands and feet were already ice-cold.

She silently put her phone back in the distance, glanced at Tongtong one last time with a somber look in her eyes, and got up to leave the room.

...

That night, Jiang Shiyuan and Xie Jinghuai did not share a room and went to sleep separately.

Knowing that the old lady had a habit of getting up early, she got up at five o'clock the next day, prepared a sumptuous breakfast for her grandmother, and left the old house without disturbing anyone.

Since the next day was the weekend, both Xie and his son slept until after eight o'clock.

After washing up, the two of them, one big and one small, went to the dining room. The old lady had already eaten breakfast and was sitting there drinking tea and looking at the autumn scenery outside the French windows.

Xie Jinghuai stood tall and handsome before the old lady, dressed in a dark gray suit, his demeanor refined and elegant.

"Good morning, Grandma."

Tongtong's voice was childlike yet clear, "Good morning, Great-Grandma!"

"Good morning, Tongtong." The old lady only paid attention to the child and ignored Xie Jinghuai completely.

Xie Jinghuai could tell that his grandmother had a lot of opinions about her, so he pursed his thin lips and remained silent.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong; from beginning to end, it was Jiang Shiyuan who was being unreasonable and even talking back to his mother.

Therefore, he didn't intend to explain anything.

The father and son sat down at the dining table, their expressions and gestures remarkably in sync.

Just as they were about to eat, the old lady suddenly slammed down her teacup, her tone clearly filled with resentment:

"Your wife got up early this morning to prepare meals for the whole family. Even if you're not grateful, you should at least ask her if she's eaten. You just sat there eating by yourself. If I were A-Yuan, I might just put some rat poison in your bowl one day. Just looking at you makes me angry!"

Tongtong blinked her innocent big eyes, "Great-Grandma, what is rat poison?"

Xie Jinghuai's expression stiffened, and he immediately lost his appetite. "Has Ayuan eaten?"

The old lady replied irritably, "No, she left before I even got up."

"Mommy's gone?" Tongtong's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of joy in her heart.

He was initially worried that his mother might not leave again after returning this time.

It seems that Mommy and Daddy haven't made up yet. This actually suits him better.

That way, he can play happily with his aunt Xinxin for a while.

The old lady subtly hinted at his words, "Young man, let me remind you, a man who mistreats his wife will never accumulate wealth. Think about it carefully!"

The man replied indifferently, "I know, Grandma."

“I just contacted Ayuan. You two and Tongtong can come over tonight for a get-together. I didn’t have time to have a proper chat with Ayuan yesterday, and we still feel like we haven’t had enough.”

Although Jiang Shiyuan was only a granddaughter-in-law and had only been a member of the Xie family for five years, among the women, the old lady was clearly closest to her.

Even Xie Yuexi, her own granddaughter, can't compare.

Xie Jinghuai gave a nonchalant reply.

Tongtong secretly pursed her lips.

Last night, he and Aunt Xinxin agreed to play online games together tonight.

When Mom comes over, she definitely won't let him play on his phone for long, and she'll ramble on and on, ruining his chance to play online with his aunt.

This is so annoying!
