"Pa!" Ning Xin slapped the table, and everyone shook.
Chen Bai subconsciously pulled Ning Xin's hand and rubbed her palm.
Ning Xin glared at her son. "Where did you learn this? Is this what a father like you should say? Even someone buried up to their neck in dirt doesn't have such outdated ideas, and yet you're using this to educate your own daughter?"
"What? Did that little beast from the Mu family do you any good? You actually speak up for him like this, even forcing your own daughter to swallow her grievances? Are you human? You're worse than beasts!"
She raised her voice: "Someone! Get them out of here! I don't have any food prepared for animals!"
The servants and the housekeeper hurried over, not knowing what to do for a moment, and looked at the eldest lady for help.
Chen Bai sighed inwardly and stood behind Ning Xin to rub her shoulders: "Grandma, don't be angry, have you forgotten what Zhou Shuo told you? Chen Su, come here!"
Shen Su rushed to Ning Xin, knelt down, and burst into tears: "Grandma, don't be angry, don't be angry, it's all my fault, it's all caused by me."
Ning Xin was a little surprised. She put her hand on Shen Su's head and stroked it gently: "Silly girl, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? You didn't do anything wrong?"
She reached out and held up Shen Su's face: "My dear granddaughter, you are not like this. Where is your fearless spirit that day?"
Chen Bai was also secretly surprised. Ever since she and Mu En confirmed their relationship, Chen Su's mood has not been particularly stable. In the past, Chen Su was self-willed and did not care about anything. With her grandparents, brothers and sisters spoiling her, she had always been unscrupulous and never cried or wiped tears.
She seemed to have shed all the tears she had accumulated in the past during this period, which was very unusual.
Shen Yi frowned and glanced at Shen Bai, meaning to let her find a way out.
Chen Bai ignored her and said softly, "Grandma, Chen Su is sensible now. She has a sense of responsibility and has really grown up. It's just that this time, she was really hurt, so she feels aggrieved."
Ning Xin nodded and wiped Chen Su's tears with a tissue: "Good child, don't cry. Falling in love requires mutual consent. Now that you don't want to, of course we break up. There is nothing to be sad about. There are many good men. You will definitely meet better ones in the future. Falling in love is not a simple thing. Family background and so on are all extras. They are not important. What you need to look at is the bottom line of a person's character. Look at his bottom. Do you understand?"
Chen Su nodded gently, took the tissue from Ning Xin's hand and wiped her tears, then turned around and said to Chen Yi and the others, "You don't have to worry about it. I will meet Mu En tomorrow to make it clear that we are breaking up. You don't need to persuade me, no one should persuade me, I will not be with him again."
Ning Xin nodded and said, "That's right, why bother with all the nagging? You don't have to compromise yourself for anyone, understand? For a girl from our Shen family, the first thing to consider is always your own feelings, understand? You always have your grandparents, brothers and sisters to support you!"
Just exclude mom and dad.
Chen Yi's face turned pale and red. Yu Ling moved closer to her husband, feeling indignant and unwilling. She did not dare to confront the old lady head-on, as the old lady could directly kick her out of the house without her husband's consent.
In front of the old man and the old lady, her husband was just a decoration.
Chen Su nodded and said to the two of them, "I don't want to see you send Mu En in to see me again after I go back. I'll stay here for a few days to clear my mind. I'll make my own appointment with Mu En and choose the place for the conversation. Don't interfere with me. This is my own business and I know my limits."
Yu Ling was anxious: "That's fine? How can this be your own business? This concerns our two families——"
"The relationship between our two families does not need to rely on Chen Su's lifelong happiness to maintain it. You don't have to make things difficult for her." Ning Xin interrupted Yu Ling coldly.
Yu Ling was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything more, but she stared at Shen Su angrily.
Chen Su looked at her parents and thought about what her sister said, that grandparents were not obstacles, but parents were, and she couldn't help feeling sad.
"If I marry Mu En, and Mu En inherits the Mu family in the future, and I become the wife of the head of the Mu family, you will be proud, right? In your eyes, I will be an honor to the family, right? You are so desperate to let me marry him now, so if I am unhappy in the future, will you also turn a blind eye?"
Yu Ling lowered her eyes and forced a smile, "Look at what you're saying, kid. How could we just turn a blind eye? If you marry him, I'm sure Mu En wouldn't dare treat you badly. You have a powerful family, so what are you afraid of? No one in your family will ignore you!"
Chen Su sneered: "You are just thinking of asking my brothers and sisters to cover for me. When the time comes, the only people who can help me are my brothers and sisters. If Mu En gives you any benefits, you will turn against me!"
"Just like now, you say you love me and pamper me, but in your heart you are actually calculating how to use me to gain the greatest benefit. Let's stop pretending. If you continue to push me, I will publicly announce that I am severing ties with you!"
She knew that reasoning would not work with her parents, so she decided to break up and resolve the issue once and for all.
Shen Yi said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Break off relations? Break off relations with us? If you leave us, won't you have to go back to grandpa and grandma's house again? If you have the guts, why don't you leave the Shen family completely? Let me see how strong your wings are!"
Shen Yi said as he was about to hit Shen Su.
Yu Ling hurriedly grabbed her and said anxiously, "Chen Su! Apologize to your father immediately! Quick!"
Shen Su was stubborn and didn't say anything. "Pa!" A crisp slap landed on her face.
Chen Su took the slap head-on without dodging or evading.
Chen Bai frowned and hurried forward to pull his sister over.
Ning Xin was so angry that she pointed at her son and yelled, "Get out of here!"
Shen Yi then stopped, looked at his hands in confusion, then looked at his daughter who was covering her face and not saying a word, and was stunned for a moment.
Ning Xin pulled her granddaughter over, feeling heartbroken.
Shen Su knelt down and said calmly: "Grandma, don't be angry. It's my granddaughter who didn't teach me that caused such trouble and made everyone lose face. Grandma, I want to leave home for a while, and I ask for your consent."
Ning Xin said anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by leaving home? You can leave home, but then come live with grandma! I'll see who dares to bully you! I'll kick him out of the Shen family!"
Chen Su raised her head, took Ning Xin's hand and stroked it on her face that had not been hit, and forced a smile. "Grandma, I'm an adult now. I'm not very good at studying, but at least I have a degree. I don't have the ability of my brothers and sisters, but I also want to go out and experience the world. I don't want to be a failure and just wait to get married. I don't want my life's honor and disgrace to be pinned on a man. Grandma, do you support me?"
Ning Xin was stunned.
