He stared intently at Chu Mingqian and Qin Jizhi, trying to glean something from their reactions.

Chu Mingqian clutched his chest, remaining silent for a long time. Qin Jizhi bit his lip, looking extremely worried, and said:

"She took the bullet for you, but so what? That bullet was meant to be fatal for you, not for her. She was only slightly injured. Besides, this whole thing started because of her. You were in danger because of her, so it's only right that she took the bullet for you. Moreover, exchanging a little injury for your gratitude and appreciation is a very worthwhile deal."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xing looked at Qin Jizhi in disbelief.

It would have been one thing if these words had come from his father, but for his mother, who was always gentle and understanding towards everyone, to say such cold-hearted things, how could he not be alarmed?

"So, you all know the whole story perfectly well, but even if you know it, you still think that way."

Qin Jizhi remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Looking at the two of them, Chu Xing felt a chill run down his spine.

He presented what he considered to be the strongest evidence to defend her.

"Didn't the old man tell you? She didn't know my identity or the Chu family at all. All she knew was that I was a penniless young man. In fact, when she married me, I didn't even have a job in her eyes. Yet, she was still sincere towards me. Isn't that enough to prove anything?"

Chu Mingqian sat on the sofa, a look of disdain on his face as he listened to Chu Xing's words.

"Who knows if she doesn't know or is pretending not to know? With your reputation, it would be hard for her not to know you. Does she really not know? I don't believe it. This is clearly just a show she put on, coaxing you into thinking she knows nothing, taking the opportunity to gain your trust, making you think she is kind, innocent and harmless, so as to gain more benefits. In fact, she knows your identity better than anyone else."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xing felt a chill run down his spine, and he looked at Qin Jizhi.

"You think so too?"

Qin Ji stepped forward, wanting to get closer, but as soon as she took a step forward, the man took a step back, seemingly determined to keep his distance from her.

She nodded: "Although your father's way of expressing himself was somewhat inconsiderate and didn't take your feelings into account, and could even be described as a bit impulsive, I agree with your father on this matter. I also believe that woman is not simple, not as naive as you describe. People like her don't have the integrity to compromise their principles for a pittance; they only possess the ruthlessness to stop at nothing to gain even the smallest benefit. You need to understand that she is different from you, her environment is different, her experiences are different, and her perspective is different. She is not one of the people you've known since childhood. She is someone who will use every trick and scheme to gain even the slightest advantage..."

Qin Jizhi was still talking non-stop, analyzing Song Mai's character and psychology for Chu Xing. However, the more she talked, the uglier the man's face became. Before she could finish speaking, the man interrupted her.

"Enough! You're not psychological experts, you're not qualified to analyze her frame by frame, trying to dissect every little thing about her and thoroughly examine it to prove that your views on her are objective and correct. In fact, what you're doing can't be called analysis or interpretation at all, it can only be considered guessing and malicious speculation."

"You use all sorts of bad words and phrases to describe her, not because she is what you think she is, but because you have used your own malice to assume that she is like that."

"Yunxing, listen to me, that's not what I meant..."

Chu Xing's words were sharp and incisive. Although they didn't sound pleasant, they clearly and bluntly revealed the couple's psychology and behavior.

This made Qin Jizhi, who was always known for his generosity, gentleness, and kindness, feel somewhat embarrassed.

Qin Jizhi's perfect persona was ripped apart by her own son, and the gentle demeanor on her face could no longer be maintained.

She frowned as she looked at Chu Xing.

"Is this how you view your parents because of a woman? Your father and I are clearly doing this for your own good. We are thinking about you, afraid that you will be deceived, afraid that you will spend your life with such a person. How can you not understand our good intentions? How can you say such things to us? You really make me sad."

She spoke lightly and gently, as if someone had done something heinous to hurt her, yet she remained magnanimous, not resorting to sharp words to retaliate, and her attitude remained humble, though her words and expressions conveyed her grievances.

As expected, Chu Mingqian immediately shielded Qin Jizhi behind him and sternly addressed Chu Xingci.

“I think you’ve really gone mad! You’re so infatuated with that woman that you can’t tell right from wrong! How dare you talk back to me and your mother like this! Do you have any conscience? You can’t see how good we are to you, your mind is full of that woman. What kind of bewitching potion did she give you to make you like this! Your mother is right, people from the lower class are more daring, greedy, cunning, and despicable than ordinary people. Look at you now, that’s the best proof.”

Chu Mingqian and Qin Jizhi kept referring to her background and upbringing, and every word they said was a condescending look down on her.

They looked down on her family, believing that people from such families were all like they imagined.

They said they didn't agree with them being together and that they wanted Chu Xing and Song Mai to divorce because Song Mai was a bad person, but ultimately it came down to their family background.

They looked down on her background, believing that she was not worthy of the Chu family and that her family was a disgrace to the Chu family.

The claims that someone has bad character or improper conduct are merely malicious speculations in their minds, used to prove that they believe people from such backgrounds are all problematic.

Since Chu Xing returned to the old house and met them, all he heard were their demands for him to get a divorce, and their various ways of speaking ill of Song Mai.

Almost every word was an insult to Song Mai, and the insults were extremely strong.

Although Song Mai was unaware of all this, Chu Xing was equally angry for her.

At this moment, his anger had reached its peak.

His eyes were like a desolate wasteland, now being swept by a hurricane, carrying endless danger.

"I'll say it one last time, she's not like what you're saying, and I won't get a divorce."
