That evening, I arrived at the Xu family's house.
Unlike my last visit, my mindset has changed significantly this time. My feelings are no longer complicated; instead, I am much calmer. The reason I came here again is quite simple.
Let Xu Yan and Gu Nianci get what they want.
Of course.
It only fulfills their current wish.
My arrival surprised my former parents, but now I should call them my adoptive parents, or uncles and aunts, or adoptive parents.
"Why are you here?" Mrs. Xu looked at me in surprise, seemingly not expecting me to appear so openly in the Xu family and in front of them.
I smiled faintly and said, "Nianci and I talked about it, and we've decided not to get a divorce for now."
"I think it's necessary to tell you about this."
"So I came."
I harbor no hatred towards them. The Xu family is a wealthy and powerful family. Given that they know I am not their biological son, their actions are understandable. Therefore, my attitude at this time is sincere and genuine.
However, besides what I said, I have other reasons for coming here.
To my surprise, upon hearing my words, Xu's mother paused for a moment, her face showing dissatisfaction and anger almost simultaneously, and her voice suddenly rose several decibels.
What do you mean by that?
"You're not getting a divorce?"
"Xu Ruo, you don't actually consider yourself a member of the Xu family, do you? How can you still have the face to be with Nianci? Nianci is the bride of the Xu family, a symbol of the marriage alliance between the Xu and Gu families. You are not a member of the Xu family, so you can only divorce Nianci. You should understand this."
She stared at me, her words full of accusation.
“Nianci may be immature, but are you going to be immature too?”
"How can you do this to repay the kindness our Xu family has shown you over the years?"
"How could you do this to us?"
It took me a long time to come to my senses. I looked at my former mother in disbelief and suddenly felt that coming to the Xu family was just a form of humiliation.
It turns out that after I left the Xu family, I, the former mother, no longer even want to pretend.
However, just as I was about to speak, Xu Yan appeared.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Who made you angry?
"Oh, it's Xu Ruo. What brings you here?"
Xu Yan looked at me with feigned surprise, then, as if she knew everything, comforted her mother, saying, "Mom, Xu Ruo definitely didn't mean to upset you. He was your son before, so you don't need to hold a grudge against him."
"Calm down. I've had some fruit prepared for you. Go back to your room and rest. I'll take care of things here."
Upon hearing this, Xu's mother sighed and looked at Xu Yan with a gentle expression. "Yan'er, it's all my fault. If I hadn't made a mistake about you a few years ago, none of this would have happened."
"Now Nianci isn't getting a divorce..."
At this point, Xu's mother looked at me again, the gentleness on her face disappearing, replaced by impatience.
She was practically pointing her finger at me and yelling at me.
But they are almost the same.
Before leaving, she said coldly, "You should know what's good for you."
"Don't wait until things get embarrassing before you regret it."
"This is, after all, a coastal area!"
As I watched the back of this woman who had been my mother for several years and whom I had called "Mom" for just as long, I naturally understood the warning in her words.
This is the seaside.
The Xu family is a wealthy family located in the coastal area.
It's indeed easy to do something if you want to.
I just didn't expect that she would be the one to give me this warning.
