"Rebellion! Rebellion!"
This behavior angered Old Madam Mu. The old lady had rarely been disobeyed by Mu Jingsheng in her entire life, and now he dared to embarrass her in front of a group of outsiders.
Mu Jingsheng wasn't actually cursing Aunt Li; he was indirectly insulting her and slapping her in the face!
"You mean you're the one in charge of this house?" Old Mrs. Mu slapped the armrest of the pear wood sofa, gritting her teeth, each word uttered with such rage it seemed to come from her chest: "Let me tell you, I'm still the one in charge of this house, my youngest son, your old mother isn't dead yet!"
When she loses her temper, her face is full of authority, and she can really intimidate most people.
Unfortunately, Mu Jingsheng had already seen it too many times.
Everything has its limits; if done too often, it will lose its effectiveness.
"dad……"
Ye Yun spoke up at the right moment, her voice hoarse: "Originally... I was thinking that you and my mother could come to see me when I held the baby's birth celebration, since I need someone to take care of me during my postpartum period. You know, I don't have a mother-in-law."
"It just so happens that my mom hasn't spent Chinese New Year in her hometown for over ten years. I've never spent Chinese New Year with my parents since I was a child. I don't even know what it's like to spend New Year's Eve with my parents. I used to envy other people's families because they had both parents. Now I think I finally don't have to envy others anymore."
"It's a pity you didn't come..."
She wiped away her tears, her vulnerable eyes looking at Old Mrs. Mu standing opposite her.
“It’s alright,” she said. “I know something must have kept you waiting. I’m not sad. I know you love me. But… I really wanted to spend the New Year with you, and I wanted to share the joy of having a baby with you, so I came to find you… Dad, if you wouldn’t come to find me, I would come to find you!”
By the end, her voice was trembling uncontrollably.
Mu Jingsheng's tears, which he had just managed to hold back, surged forth again at this moment, mixed with guilt, as he stared at Ye Yun with heartache.
Ye Xia also leaned on Ye Yun's shoulder and sobbed softly.
She might not understand the profound truths her daughter was spouting, but she knew that her daughter must have suffered a tremendous injustice to come here to find her.
Her daughter must have suffered a lot to find her.
"Good boy, good boy..." Mu Jingsheng didn't know what to say, so he rubbed his face hard and wiped away his tears.
He took a deep breath, composed himself, and fixed his sharp gaze on the old woman opposite him.
"Mother, I'll give you a chance to explain. Tell me, did you withhold the news of Xiaoyun's delivery?" He gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse, his breathing trembling slightly as he tried to control his emotions.
Grandma Mu's eyes darted away.
But it was only for a moment. She was certain that Mu Jingsheng wouldn't dare to do anything to her, so she simply nodded and said disdainfully, "Yes, I withheld the calls. I answered all those calls."
Why did you do this?!
Mu Jingsheng's temper finally exploded.
In front of his daughter and grandson, he could no longer be weak and blindly manipulated by the old lady. The old lady's concealment of the news of his daughter's childbirth had completely crossed his bottom line!
That was his beloved daughter whom he had lost for twenty years!
Mu Jingsheng stared at the old lady without moving, his anger barely contained: "Mother, what you've done this time is simply too much! How is what you're doing any different from how you drove Xiaoxia away behind my back!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Grandma Mu was not to be outdone, and even said with righteous indignation: "Son, someone called out of the blue saying she was your daughter and asked you to bring money to the baby's birth celebration. How could I agree to that? What if she's a scammer? Have you forgotten what happened to you when you were a child and were tricked and kidnapped?"
Mu Jingsheng's breathing became unsteady, and his chest heaved with anger.
But the old lady's words were so reasonable and well-founded that he couldn't find a single reason to refute them.
Ye Yun held the sleeping Xiao Chuqi tightly in her arms, her eyes still glistening with tears. She bit her lip and looked at the old lady: "I said on the phone that Mu Jingsheng is my father, and you admitted it. You said you also knew my identity. Do you still remember how you scolded me?"
"What? She even insulted you?"
Before anyone could speak, Lin Jiao opened her mouth in surprise.
Ye Yun nodded, looked at Mu Jingsheng, and said earnestly, "I told Grandma that I had given birth to a daughter and asked her to tell you. But Grandma scolded me for being ill-mannered!"
Lin Jiao: "What?! She actually insulted a woman in labor like that?!"
Ye Xia was also shocked.
Ye Yun nodded, tears streaming down her face: "Grandma also said that I came from the mountains, that I have no father or mother, and that I should get lost."
She also said that she really hated us, mother and daughter.
She said my mother and I were poor country bumpkins, thick-skinned, like stubborn plasters that you can't get rid of once you're stuck on us.
“She made it clear to me that she wouldn’t let her son attend my daughter’s cheap birth celebration, and that if I really cared, I should take my mother away so she wouldn’t have to worry about her.”
"By the way, she said some really nasty things..."
A genuine hatred surfaced in Ye Yun's eyes as she stared at Old Madam Mu and gritted her teeth, saying, "That's what she said. She said, 'How dare a shameless madwoman stay by my son's side!'"
"Grandma, aren't these all things you said?"
Ye Yun stared intently at the old lady, her tearful eyes filled with a resolute and stubborn determination to stand up for her mother.
Mu Jingsheng gasped.
He believed Ye Yun's words because the old lady usually insulted Ye Xia like that at home.
Ye Xia was completely oblivious to whether she had been humiliated; she only heard Ye Yun being scolded by the old lady, and felt so sorry for her that she hugged Ye Yun's arm to comfort her.
