At this moment, Xie Heng heard the noise and pushed the door open to come in.

With his usual peacemaker smile on his face, he smoothed things over, saying:

"Oh, Xuelan, calm down, calm down. Look how loud you are, and Huaiye is still sick."

He walked over to his wife and gently patted her back.

“Miss Yan Ning has indeed taken good care of Huai Ye these past few days. Even if she hasn’t done anything special, she has certainly worked hard.”

"Huaiye has only just recovered a little, and we're already in a hurry to send him away. Doesn't that make the Xie family seem heartless?"

"Human favors?"

Ren Xuelan flung her husband's hand away, her face flushed with anger:

"What favor is this? If we let her stay here in this ambiguous situation any longer, what will people think?"

"Do you really think she's a sure thing for the Xie family's daughter-in-law?!"

"Let me tell you, Xie Heng, I never agreed to this! She can forget about marrying into our family!"

The three words: daughter-in-law.

It pricked Xie Huaiye like a needle.

His eyes suddenly turned cold, as if they were filled with ice.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees.

"mom."

Xie Huaiye spoke up.

His voice was low and tinged with anger. "I'm twenty this year, not eight."

He paused, looked at Ren Xuelan, and spoke each word with firm conviction:

“I can make my own decisions. I don’t need you to consider everything for me, like when I was a child, forcing me to do math problems I don’t like and participate in all sorts of boring competitions.”

"Right now, I just want to do what I love and follow my heart."

"From now on, please don't interfere in my affairs anymore. That's all, I need to rest now."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and turned to lie on his side on the bed.

"Huaiye, you, you..."

Ren Xuelan was speechless for a moment, her face turning red and white in turns.

She was so angry that she was trembling all over.

But he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

This was the first time her son had said such a thing to her, the first time he had ever disobeyed her, and it was all because of a woman!

Seeing this, Xie Heng quickly pulled his wife outside, half-pushing and half-persuading her.

"Alright, alright, the child just woke up and needs to rest! We can talk about this later, later..."

As he spoke, he winked at his wife.

They dragged and pulled the furious Ren Xuelan out of the room.

The door closed again.

Xie Huaiye was the only one left in the room.

He opened his eyes, his gaze filled with unfathomable darkness and a hint of unease.

He no longer wanted to live like a puppet; from now on, he would strive to protect the people he loved...

The Su family villa.

Su Muyao was standing in front of the dressing mirror, admiring herself.

She was wearing a newly acquired haute couture gown.

The light blue color made her skin look even whiter.

She turned left and right, completely satisfied.

She bought this dress specifically for an upcoming banquet; she wanted to outshine everyone.

"Ring ring—!"

Just then, the cell phone on the dressing table suddenly rang.

Su Muyao glanced at the screen.

It was Aunt Chen calling.

She raised an eyebrow slightly. Calling at this hour?

She picked it up casually, her tone carrying a touch of a spoiled young lady's languidness:

"Hello, Aunt Chen? What's wrong?"

On the other end of the phone.

Aunt Chen's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement:

"Oh my, young lady! Great news! Incredibly great news!"

Su Muyao's heart was piqued. She stopped adjusting her skirt and asked again:

"What good news? Tell me quickly!"

"Mr. Xie! It's Mr. Xie!"

Aunt Chen's voice rose a few decibels, "He's regained his memory! He remembers everything!"

"real?!"

Su Muyao's eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't help but jump up and down on the spot:

"That's great! I knew he would get better!"

She felt her heart pounding.

Brother Huaiye is finally back!

After the ecstasy.

An even more urgent thought immediately rushed into Su Muyao's mind.

How is Su Yanning?

She gripped her phone tightly, her voice carrying a hint of ruthlessness:

"What about Su Yanning? Was she kicked out by Brother Huaiye immediately?"

In her view, the first thing Xie Huaiye did after regaining his memory was...

It's about kicking out that slut who clung to him while he had amnesia!

Aunt Chen on the other end of the phone paused for a moment.

Her tone became hesitant, even a little cautious:

"Uh... Miss... this..."

Su Muyao's smile froze, and her heart skipped a beat.

A bad feeling crept in: "What's wrong? Aunt Chen, tell me quickly!"

Aunt Chen sighed and lowered her voice: "Mr. Xie... he didn't kick Miss Su out... instead, he let her continue to live in the villa."

"What?!"

Su Muyao's voice suddenly became high-pitched.

The joy from before vanished, replaced only by shock and anger. "Say that again?!"

"Yes, yes,"

Aunt Chen's voice became even softer, "Mr. Xie said that Miss Su has taken very good care of him during this time. Although he has recovered now, he still needs to recuperate..."

"So we'll have Miss Su stay and take care of him for a while longer."

"Stay?! Take care of him?!"

Su Muyao's voice trembled slightly with anger.

She gripped her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

Her carefully made-up face was contorted with rage. "Su Yanning! That little bitch! What right does she have?!"

"She's a swindler who takes advantage of people in distress! Why did Brother Huaiye let her stay?! What kind of sorcery did she use?!"
