Chapter 80 I will always stand on her side unconditionally
Out of courtesy, Jiang Shibai asked the driver to take Zhai Jin home, while he got into Wen Tingyun's car. The mother and son drove in silence all the way to another villa in the city - Huazhou Junting.
The family only returns to the old house in their spare time. The Jiang family has many properties, and in order to have some space to themselves, they don't have the habit of living together.
Jiang Shibai lives in Repulse Bay mainly because it is close to the group, while Wen Tingyun and his wife pay more attention to the comfort of life. Most of the people living here are of the same age, and neighbors visit each other on weekdays.
Each villa was far apart, with trees as privacy barriers. The wheels of the Rolls-Royce rolled over the snow, leaving a trail of clots at the rear.
The car drove into the gate of the villa, stopped, and Wen Tingyun got out of the car with an expressionless face, completely ignoring Jiang Shibai.
This son is like a leaky jacket!
Jiang Shibai didn't react at all when he saw this. He got out of the car and followed Wen Tingyun into the house. Jiang Yanfeng had gone out to play chess with an old friend and was not at home.
Seeing Wen Tingyun going upstairs angrily, Jiang Shibai called her in time.
"Mom, let's talk."
Wen Tingyun's back froze, he held his handbag tightly, didn't move, and didn't look back.
Jiang Shibai sighed inwardly, asked the servant to make a cup of tea, sat down on the sofa, and drank the tea by himself, elegantly and leisurely.
After taking a sip of tea, he slowly spoke: "Mom, I don't want to see what happened today a second time. This is the first time I tell you this, and it will be the last time."
The man's tone was not soft at all, and was even slightly threatening.
Jiang Shibai knew his own mother. If he didn't take certain measures and didn't speak harshly, she would never understand.
If something irreparable happens in the future, it is not the result he wants to see.
This was also his fault. If he hadn't talked to his mother in time, his mother wouldn't have brought people to provoke Xu Xian today.
It would be fine if it was just an ordinary guest, but it happened to be Zhai Jin.
He was not a fool, so he could naturally see that Zhai Jin liked him.
Every word his mother said compared Zhai Jin and Xu Xian and was always directed at her.
This is no longer a quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but a humiliation of Xu Xian's personality.
Wen Tingyun was furious when he heard this. He immediately turned around with an angry look on his face, "I just brought Jinjin to visit, why are you making such a fuss?"
Jiang Shibai stopped drinking tea, turned his head and looked directly into her eyes. His dark eyes were deep and seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
"You know what's in your mind, and I don't want to slap you in the face by saying it."
The air was eerily still, as if time had stopped.
Wen Tingyun's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be calm and said, "You haven't slapped me in the face yet? What was your attitude just now in Repulse Bay? You helped Xu Xian without any regard for my dignity."
When she talked about this, she got angry. Her son, who had always been filial and humble, had changed his attitude towards her drastically because of a woman, and even ordered her to leave.
There were outsiders present at the time, so she didn't get angry immediately. However, the anger she had been holding back all the way had already burned her internal organs and made them ache.
Jiang Shibai pinched his brows in pain, closed his eyes, and said in a steady voice, "My wife, I hope you can give her the necessary respect. If you don't respect her and trample on her face, you are slapping me in the face."
He found that he was not good at dealing with conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but Xu Xian could not let all this face him.
I can only bite the bullet and try to reason with him.
Wen Tingyun was instantly choked up, and after a while, he said unwillingly, "I didn't respect her? Did I insult her or bully her?"
Her upbringing does not allow her to curse or fight like a shrew.
Jiang Shibai took a deep breath, rubbed the wedding ring on his ring finger, turned it slightly, and gave Wen Tingyun a fatal blow, "Your behavior today is inappropriate. Put yourself in her shoes, how would you feel if your grandmother brought a woman home and treated you with condescension?"
Wen Tingyun: "..."
She wanted to refute, but couldn't utter a word.
If Madam Jiang brought a woman with obvious intentions into the house, she would definitely not be able to swallow this and would turn the whole house upside down.
Jiang Shibai didn't look at Wen Tingyun's expression and said slowly, "Have you ever thought that Xianxian would be embarrassed? His own mother-in-law brought another woman to provoke him. Regardless of whether you have other ideas or not, the harm has already been caused."
The air became stagnant again, and Jiang Shibai leaned back on the sofa, looking a little weak.
He couldn't blame the mother who raised him, but he also didn't want his wife to suffer endless harm.
"Xu Xian is inexplicably unhappy, and she thinks she's right? She has a bad attitude when talking to me, and she's hostile towards Zhai Jin. She doesn't respect me, so why should I care whether she's embarrassed or not?" Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Wen Tingyun started talking about other things.
The implication of her words was that Xu Xian did not respect her.
Jiang Shibai's expression paused slightly when he heard this, and he tightened his grip on the teacup. He spoke slowly and tried to remain calm.
"You don't respect her from the bottom of your heart. She is your daughter-in-law, yes, but that doesn't mean she needs to endure all this silently. She is Xu Xian first, and then your daughter-in-law. She has an independent personality."
"Respect is mutual. You didn't respect her from the beginning, and she doesn't owe you anything. Why should you swallow your anger? She has every right to be jealous and unhappy. And ask yourself, did you really just bring Zhai Jin home as a guest? Did you have any other ulterior motives?"
He found that it was better to be direct when talking to his mother, as she couldn't understand him if he beat around the bush.
After a long while, Wen Tingyun hesitated and said, "I, what can I think? I just don't like Xu Xian. Look at how sweet and caring Zhai Jin is. She is generous and generous, has a successful career, and comes from a prominent family. A girl like this is qualified to be your wife."
"I just want to take her home and let Xu Xian see that the person who can take the position of your wife is at least of her level."
"I was just a visitor, I didn't expect her to react so strongly."
She understood what Jiang Shibai meant. She simply thought that she brought another woman to provoke Xu Xian and force him to divorce.
As God is my witness, even if she disliked Xu Xian, she would never let a mistress into her house. She really just wanted to bring Zhai Jin with her to make Xu Xian realize her true identity.
I want her to see how big the gap is between her and the upper-class socialites.
Besides, Zhai Jin didn’t say that he liked Shi Bai, so why should the couple make a fuss about it?
Jiang Shibai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was listening and had no such thoughts.
"My criteria for marrying a wife are not defined by you. I hope you understand this. I don't expect you to like Xianxian, but I don't want you to hurt her. It's your right to dislike her, but if you hurt her, then as her husband, I can only say sorry to you."
"I will always stand on her side unconditionally."
Wen Tingyun suffered a heart attack, so it seemed like he had raised his son in vain.
Her face darkened slightly, and her voice revealed a hint of sadness. "How could you talk to Mom like that? Don't you know that I would be sad and disappointed?"
Jiang Shibai put down his teacup, stood up calmly, looked directly at Wen Tingyun, and said in an unclear tone, "What about Xianxian? She is also her mother's child who was born after ten months of pregnancy. She was wronged by you. Isn't her mother sad?"
"You are a mother, I think you can empathize with me."
"I hope you'll think carefully about this. Do you really want to disrupt my marriage and cause unrest?"
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wen Tingyun's answer and walked out resolutely.
Wen Tingyun stood there in a daze, tears blurring her eyes as she stared blankly at the broad figure disappearing into the living room.
The sound of the door opening and closing was heard, and the living room returned to silence again, as if the quarrel just now had never happened.
The snow outside the window stopped falling, and the orange-yellow setting sun burned the sky red.
