Chapter 91 A son like this is better off without.

Xiang Chu wanted to say "Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things" and "Taking a step back opens up a vast sky," but when she met Yu Yan's eyes, she suddenly fell silent.

All the words stuck in his throat.

Because the moment he uttered that sentence, he lost all his chances.

Yu Yan didn't want to listen anymore.

This farce, these three people, made Yu Yan realize that nothing has changed three years ago or three years later.

Those who bullied her in the past will not change, and those who refused to stand up for her before will most likely never stand by her side.

What is she still hoping for?

We shouldn't have had any expectations in the first place.

Yu Yan lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes concealing the disappointment in them, leaving only a bitter smile.

"Your grandma should stop bullying my aunt."

Shao Yun stepped forward.

Yu Yan suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Shao Yun, a faint spark igniting in her dark eyes.

Shao Min pinched the back of Shao Yun's neck to tell him not to be afraid and to speak boldly. She was holding back a lot of anger, and even if Shao Yun didn't speak up, she would!

What the hell is this?!

Shao Yun stepped forward and stood beside Yu Yan.

Yu Yan, who was originally isolated and helpless, suddenly found reinforcements.

“This old lady started causing trouble as soon as she arrived. She kept cursing at my aunt and even tried to hit her. Just now, she was the one who had her bodyguard hit my aunt, but she tripped over her skirt and fell. My aunt didn’t lay a finger on her.”

Shao Yun spoke with conviction and clarity, “So many people saw it, you can ask them if you don’t believe me.”

Before Jing Heng could even ask, a crowd of onlookers who had been watching the commotion for a while spoke up, saying, "She fell by herself, we all saw it!"

"Is the old lady trying to scam me? I don't know if she's short of money or what, she doesn't seem like it."

"It's pure bullying. When bullying fails, they start framing people. That must be her daughter-in-law. The old lady is quite ruthless, dragging her son and grandson along to bully others."

"It sounds like they're getting a divorce. They should get a divorce. No wonder they're stuck with such an unreasonable family..."

The eyes of the masses are discerning.

Whispers reached Xiang Jingheng and Xiang Chu's ears, and both father and son looked up at Yu Yan with grim expressions.

Yu Yan didn't look at them anymore, but only at Shao Yun, her eyes filled with a gentle smile.

Her own son didn't defend her, but Shao Yun always stood up for her at crucial moments.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood, and Yu Yan had to admit that at this moment she wanted to hug Shao Yun and give him a big kiss, and bring all the delicious food in the world to him!

Xiang Chu noticed the change in Yu Yan's expression.

Just now, when she looked at him, her eyes were cold and disappointed... but when she looked at Shao Yun, her eyes were warm and gentle.

how?

Just because Shao Yun spoke up for her, she kissed him like that?

He didn't speak up for her, so she ignored him and gave him that cold look...

Why are people so materialistic?

Isn't he her biological son?

He can apologize to her, so why can't she cherish and love him anytime?

Then why did she hit him?

Xiang Chu started throwing a tantrum. He had originally wanted to say a few nice words to ease the tension between her and her grandmother, but since she didn't need it, he decided not to say anything. Humph.

Xiang Jingheng's expression changed several times.

He was completely confused. What had happened? Who pushed whom?

"Mom, it wasn't Yu Yan who pushed you?" Xiang Jingheng pushed away Xiang Tai, who was leaning against him. "You fell on your own?"

When her son questioned her like that on the spot, Mrs. Xiang lost face and looked up, saying, "What difference does it make whether I fell or she pushed me? Anyway, it was me who fell, not her!"

"..."

Xiang Jingheng was speechless. His mother always lived in her own logic, and she was always right, no matter what.

"Can those be the same?"

Xiang Jingheng's face flushed instantly, and he didn't dare to look into Yu Yan's eyes anymore.

He wronged her again.

"Give me a hand." Xiang Jingheng reached out his hand behind him, and the bodyguards quickly stepped forward to help him up.

This ordeal left Xiang Jingheng drenched in a cold sweat. He frowned and questioned the bodyguards, "What are your mouths for? Don't you know how to talk?"

The bodyguards remained silent, not daring to speak; they dared not offend Mrs. Xiang.

"Yu Yan, I..." Xiang Jingheng forced himself to apologize to Yu Yan, just as Gan Xiaoxing came out of the bathroom.

She listened to the commotion inside for a long time, and only came out when she saw that the excitement was almost over.

"Jing Heng, you did nothing wrong. It was Yu Yan who bullied her godmother."

Gan Xiaoxing looked at the onlookers and said, "What does this have to do with you? Mind your own messes."

She was arrogant and bossy, and the crowd, who didn't know her, wouldn't tolerate it and immediately started criticizing her.

"Whose mess is this? Our family doesn't have such a mess as the whole family ganging up to bully our daughter-in-law!"

"Exactly! What do you mean by family matters? Family matters should be handled at home. Why come out and make such a scene? You've caused such a commotion, can't people even say a word about it?"

"This is a hospital, a public place. We shouldn't be so loud. You've disturbed our rest, and you still think you're right?"

"That's the former wife, and this must be the new wife. Could she be a mistress who took her place? She doesn't look very respectable..."

Gan Xiaoxing got herself into trouble, and was swatted at by a group of people in front of her, her face turning pale and then red.

What did you say?!

She lunged forward to hit someone, but Xiang Jingheng stopped her, frowning impatiently, "Alright, stop making things worse!"

Yu Yan said calmly, "It's really not good to make a lot of noise in the hospital. Sister Min, let's go."

"Hmm." Shao Min's anger hadn't completely subsided as she coldly swept her gaze over the Xiang family members.

I wonder what kind of life Yu Yan lived in the Xiang family before.

In just a short while, she witnessed the complete mess of the Xiang family: a shrewish and unreasonable mother-in-law, a selfish and ignorant husband, a son who always turns his back on his family… and a scheming mistress causing all sorts of trouble.

Ugh, just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.

Therefore, it is wise for her not to get married. If she were to unfortunately encounter such a family, the daughter-in-law would become the scapegoat for the whole family to vent their anger on outsiders. They wouldn't be so united without a daughter-in-law.

Sacrificing one's wife to ensure their family's harmony and prosperity is utterly shameless!

...This messy marriage should be dissolved.

"Yunyun, let's go." Yu Yan patted Shao Yun's head.

Shao Yun nodded and took Yu Yan's hand.

As he left, Shao Yun looked at Chu with a reproach in his clear eyes.

“You could have stopped others from falsely accusing your mother; it would have been just a matter of saying a few words. But you chose to side with others rather than say a word for her. Your behavior hurts her the most.”

Shao Yun didn't understand the meaning of tact; he was very blunt: "A son like you is better off without."
