Chapter 353 Return to Family
"The child was fine, why did he get a fever when he was in your hands?"
"I didn't agree to you being on the show in the first place, but you insisted on coming. You're a grown man, but you can't even take care of a child!"
Tong Zhechen rushed in angrily. When he saw Jiang Xu, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Fang Yue also glanced at Jiang Xu awkwardly.
Jiang Xu handed the amulet to Fang Yue and turned around to walk out tactfully.
As soon as I closed the door, I heard a quarrel from inside.
"Wearing this for a child in this kind of weather?"
"I told Feifei not to wear this skirt, but I didn't expect that she would put it on secretly and caught a cold soon after." Fang Yue explained.
"This is your failure as a mother!" Tong Zhechen interrupted her coldly, "Because you have no authority in your child's heart."
"I've been telling you to go home and take care of Feifei, but you refused to listen and insisted on focusing on your career. All you do is film and work. You don't even go home once a month. Why do you think your child should obey you?"
Fang Yue's breathing stagnated, and a bitter feeling rose in his heart.
Looking back on the past few days, Fang Yue had to admit that she did not seem to be a competent mother.
If she had been able to spend more time with her child, would Feifei have been closer to her, and her temper wouldn't have become so willful...
Tong Zhechen sighed and his voice became gentle.
"My child's education isn't just my responsibility. Fang Yue, ask yourself, have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother over the years?"
"Do you really expect that a few days of a show can make up for your past debt to Feifei and become a good mother?"
"As the old saying goes, you can't have it all. Feifei is still young and needs her mother's company. You should stay by her side and give her a complete childhood."
"Don't wait until your child is completely alienated from you before you regret it."
Every word Tong Zhechen said stabbed into Fang Yue's heart like a knife. Her eyes flickered and her lips trembled slightly.
She thought of how Tong Fei used to love to nestle her little head on her shoulder and act coquettishly.
I call her every day and say in a baby voice, "Mom, I miss you so much."
When did it start to change?
Tong Zhechen gently advised: "Fang Yue, retire and return to your family. Feifei and I both need you."
"I...I'll think about it."
The conversation gradually faded away, and Li Xinyi frowned slightly: "Is Fang Yue going to return to her family?"
"What a shame. I really enjoy watching her acting."
Jiang Yue: "I think Tong Fei is also a naughty child. She needs to be disciplined. She might become the second Chen Xiaobao."
Pei Yiyi laughed sarcastically: "But I think Fang Yuezhen might not be happy to see her go home. After all, she already has a new good mother."
ah?
New mom?
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Xinyi and Jiang Yue widened their eyes at the same time, with deep shock in their eyes.
This means... Tong Zhechen cheated!
Then how could he have the nerve to accuse Fang Yue of neglecting his family?
Do you still want Fang Yue to give up her career and return to her family?
What does it mean?
Is he trying to trick Fang Yue back to be a free babysitter so that he can live a carefree life outside?
Tong Zhechen had just gotten into the car when he was suddenly slapped in the face.
"who!"
He turned his head sharply, but there was nothing around him.
“It’s weird.”
Tong Zhechen wiped the bright red slap mark on his cheek, looking confused.
Fang Yue caught a glimpse of a little paper man slipping away quickly. He thought of something and moved his mouth but didn't say it out loud.
"Mom..." Tong Fei mumbled in a daze, "I want to eat egg custard and drink pork rib soup..."
Seeing her daughter leaning on her arms, Fang Yue's heart softened.
"Okay, Mom will call Aunt Xu to make it for us now."
"No, I don't want Aunt Xu to do it!" Tong Fei suddenly cried aggrievedly: "When I was sick before, Aunt Nuan Nuan would do it for me personally. My mother doesn't love me at all..."
Aunt Nuannuan?
Fang Yue frowned slightly.
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Tong Zhechen's face.
"She used to be your mother's nanny. When we went to visit your mother, she was the one who took care of Feifei."
Hu Jinglan?
Back at the villa, Hu Jinglan heard the news that Tong Fei was ill and hurried over.
Hu Jinglan is Fang Yue's stepmother. Although she is called stepmother, she is actually only in her thirties. When her father remarried, he married Hu Jinglan, but she died within two years.
Fang Yue didn't have much affection for her stepmother, but she wasn't ready to break up with her, so she just maintained superficial courtesy.
Tong Fei actually likes Hu Jinglan very much.
"Grandma." As soon as he saw Hu Jinglan, he immediately threw himself into her arms.
Fang Yue was still thinking about Tong Fei's order just now. She said hello to Hu Jinglan and walked into the kitchen.
Fang Yue grew up in a well-off family and had never been in the kitchen. Even a simple egg custard made her feel overwhelmed.
The oil splashed onto her hands, leaving red marks immediately. Aunt Xu hurried forward and said, "Madam, how about I come over?"
Fang Yue shook his head.
Tong Zhechen was right. Over the years, she had never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. Even a nanny knew her daughter's preferences better than she did... This was what she owed Feifei.
Half an hour later, Fang Yue carefully brought out the egg custard and pork rib soup that she had made herself.
"Fei Fei, this is the first time mom cooks, the taste might be..." Fang Yue looked at her nervously and expectantly.
"Bah, it's so disgusting!" Tong Fei spat it all out before she could finish her words: "It's not even as good as Auntie Nuannuan's!"
"Mom can't even cook. I want Auntie Nuannuan! I want Auntie Nuannuan!"
The expression on Fang Yue's face froze instantly.
Hu Jinglan took a bite and couldn't help frowning.
"You can't do this, you can't do that, you can't even cook the most basic home-cooked meals, no wonder Feifei doesn't want to get close to you."
She waved her hand to signal the nanny to take Tong Fei away, looked at Fang Yue, and said earnestly:
"Fang Yue, the most important things for a woman are the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Her most important duty is to manage the household, support her husband and raise her children. So, what's the point of you being out in the open all day?"
"Feifei is your only child... Even if you become successful one day, but come home to an empty house and your only child is so distant from you, what's the point of all this?"
