The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 249: CEO’s White Moonlight (3)
Qu’s Mansion.
“Yihuan, it’s all godmother’s fault that you were delayed in class.” Qu’s mother held the girl’s hand tightly and refused to let go.
The girl in front of her had pretty short hair, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, plump and small lips, and the black pupils in her clear eyes were frighteningly large.
“Godmother, why do you say that? You are not in good health, and I am very worried about you at school.” An Yihuan half-knelt in front of her, her big eyes full of heartache.
“Godmother knew you were a good child.” Qu’s mother gently stroked her cheek with her right hand. She liked her goddaughter no matter how she looked at her, and she hated her son for not living up to expectations. She was not moved by such a good girl when she was introduced to him. However, now she, as a mother, would not let him do whatever he wanted.
“Godmother, let me rub your shoulders for you, relax, you may feel better.” As she spoke, An Yihuan had already stood up and put her hand on Qu’s mother’s shoulder.
"Okay, okay, there's no one at home who's as considerate as you. It would be nice if you came more often." Qu's mother relaxed.
"That's easy. Our school isn't far from here. If godmother misses me, just call me anytime. I can come anytime." An Yihuan's hands pressed on Qu's mother's shoulders freely.
She used to work in a massage parlor and learned a trick from the master in the parlor. She was amazed when she gave Qu's mother a massage for the first time, so she would give her a massage every time she came to Qu's house.
"Xiang Ran, this kid, hasn't come home yet in the middle of the night. I don't know where he went to fool around." Qu's mother glanced at the wall clock. It was already ten o'clock, and she couldn't help complaining.
"Godmother, Xiang Ran must be dating his girlfriend." An Yihuan answered with a smile, but she didn't expect Qu's mother to get angry because of this.
"Don't mention his girlfriend to me. I'll get angry if you mention it."
Qu's mother sat with a dark face and a stiff body, making An Yihuan not know how to deal with herself. She thought that she had said nothing wrong. Wasn't it time for Qu Xiangran and his girlfriend Le Shiyi to date? Or did her godmother dislike Qu Xiangran's girlfriend?
"Mom, I'm back." Qu Xiangran greeted his mother habitually when he stepped into the door, but he didn't know that he came in time to save An Yihuan from the embarrassment.
"Brother Xiangran is back." An Yihuan took the initiative to greet her to ease the atmosphere. Qu Xiangran knew that her mother had called her here and deliberately ignored her. An Yihuan smiled awkwardly and continued to massage Qu's mother.
Qu's mother patted the back of her hand and asked her to sit next to her. She looked at Qu Xiangran and said, "You remembered that your mother is at home."
"Mom, I'm very tired. I'm going to go back to my room to rest first." Qu Xiangran had no intention of arguing with her. He just wanted to go back to his room and call Shiyi.
If it weren't for his poor mother living alone in this huge mansion, he would rather move out and live with Shiyi.
"Stop right there." Qu's mother called him and cried, "
It's fine that you don't see me every morning and evening, but now you go upstairs as soon as you get home. Do you still have me as your mother in your heart?" Qu Xiangran sighed and said impatiently, "Mom, I'm not at home every morning and evening because I'm working in the company."
The reason why he didn't want to go home every day was because his mother always loved to lecture him. He was so old, but she still treated him like a child and controlled everything, which made people disgusted. Although he was disgusted, he only had such a mother, so he went home every day to coax her.
An Yihuan saw that Qu Xiangran was tired, but this was the Qu family's family affair after all. As an outsider, she couldn't intervene, so she had to lower her head and pretend to be a little quail, just hoping that they would end the quarrel quickly.
"You work in the company during the day, but why don't you go home early after work? Your father is like this, and you follow this. Do you know how sad I am as a mother?" As she spoke, Qu's mother really started to cry.
She really hated it. She hated that her parents arranged for her to marry into the Qu family when she was young. She hated that she easily believed Qu Weilai's sweet words and thought that he only had her in his heart, so she didn't discipline him at all. It was not until her son Qu Xiangran was born that she saw his true face. After they fell out, Qu Weilai was even more unscrupulous in looking for women outside, making her, the wife of the Qu family, a laughing stock.
Old is like this, she can't change it, but Qu Xiangran, the flesh that fell from her, should understand the pain of being a mother. He also followed his father to learn. Isn't this directly rubbing salt into the wound of her heart?
"Mom, my dad is my dad, and I am me. I will be responsible for the person I choose for my whole life." Qu Xiangran walked upstairs with a cold face.
What he hated most on weekdays was that his mother compared him with his father. Although he grew up in this family, he never looked down on his father's set. And although his father was not a qualified good husband, he was a qualified father. From childhood to adulthood, he had received all the fatherly love he should have from his father, but the love his mother gave him was full of control and selfishness, which sometimes made him feel suffocated. This feeling of being controlled was not relieved until he was with Shi Yi, and he drew strength from Shi Yi to relieve a lot.
"What a sin. Why did I marry such a husband and give birth to such a disobedient son." Qu's mother cried loudly on the armrest of the leather sofa without caring about her face.
"Godmother..." An Yihuan called weakly, not knowing whether to pass the tissue in her hand or continue to hold it.
Although she knew little about the affairs of the Qu family, she also heard a little meaning from Qu's mother's mouth. No wonder she never saw Qu Xiangran's father every time she came to the Qu family. However, she felt that Qu Xiangran was a person with a very positive outlook on life, and he did not follow his father's influence to mess around outside. But if such words were said at this moment, she, the godmother, would have to vent her anger on herself.
"My son was born in vain. He forgot all my efforts for him after he got a girlfriend." Qu's mother cried for a while and wiped her tears.
An Yihuan didn't know what to do with the tissue in her hand.
"Yihuan, do you like your godmother?" Qu's mother turned and looked at the little girl beside her. She expected to see the answer she wanted from the little girl.
An Yihuan nodded and said solemnly: "Yes."
Qu's mother was very satisfied with her obedience, and she was determined to turn her into the identity she wanted - her own daughter-in-law.
She only had this one son. If he was with someone like Le Shiyi who was too opinionated, how would she live the rest of her life?
The husband can be disobedient, but the son must listen to him.
The first step to change her son is to let him be with the future daughter-in-law designated by him.
