"That's easy to say." Liang Xinyun's gentle and kind face disappeared, and instead she spoke sternly, "Just your fourth uncle's arrival alone already overwhelmed us. Do you still want to go it alone and get angry with your grandfather again? Have you ever thought about what will happen to your marriage, Momo, without the support and blessing of the Han family?"
"You and my dad were brought together by the Han family. Everyone supports you and wishes you well, but we haven't seen you two being very affectionate!" Han Chen's words seemed to be filled with anger.
It was the first time Liang Xinyun heard Han Chen say such hurtful words, and it hit her right in the heart. She didn't react for a moment. After a moment of stunned silence, her heart suddenly began to twitch and ache.
"Hiss——" She covered her chest with her hands, frowned, and hunched over.
Liu Xiangru beside her quickly supported her, "Xin Yun, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Mom," Han Chen quickly reached out and wanted to lend a hand, but was pushed away by Liang Xinyun.
"Go away!" His tone was filled with anger. "I'm not your mother."
"Aunt Liang," Zhou Mo and Liu Xiangru hurriedly helped Liang Xinyun to sit at the dining table. She squatted down and looked up at Liang Xinyun, asking worriedly, "Aunt Liang, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Zheng also asked: "How about going to the hospital?"
"Don't bother," Liang Xinyun pulled Zhou Mo's hand and asked her to stand up. "I just suddenly felt a little pain in my chest. It might be nerve pain. I'll be fine after a rest."
Han Chen, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up: "I'll go get the stethoscope."
He turned around and went to the second bedroom to get the box containing the stethoscope and mercury sphygmomanometer. Zhou Mo hurried to help and measured Liang Xinyu's blood pressure together with Han Chen.
At first, Liang Xinyun was still angry and didn't want Han Chen to help her measure her blood pressure and heart rate. Zhou Mo tried to persuade her earnestly for a while, and Liu Xiangru and Zhou Zheng also spoke well of Han Chen. Only then did Liang Xinyun give Han Chen a slightly better look.
Obviously, Liang Xinyun was still angry with Han Chen, and she just didn't want the dinner to end in a bad mood.
This was the first time Zhou Mo saw Liang Xinyun and Han Chen angry.
In the past, in Zhou Mo's mind, Liang Xinyun was the most perfect mother. She was very tolerant of Han Chen and had the most perfect and relaxed maternal love.
She thought Liang Xinyun would not quarrel or have conflicts with Han Chen, but it seemed that her thinking was too one-sided.
No matter how much love a mother and her child have for each other, they will still have quarrels.
After taking Liang Xinyun's blood pressure and confirming that she was fine, Liu Xiangru and Zhou Zheng took over the kitchen work, while Liang Xinyun was arranged to rest on the sofa in the living room.
Zhou Mo always stayed with Liang Xinyun because Han Chen was not good at coaxing people.
After taking his blood pressure, he was like a wooden man, without saying a word of apology. He just sat at the other end of the sofa with his head down, silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Liang Xinyun glanced at Han Chen calmly, and the more she looked at him, the angrier she became. "Should I call your father?"
Han Chen said in embarrassment: "Can you fight me? I don't want to fight."
This was considered a softening of Han Chen's attitude. Liang Xinyun heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I'll fight."
She took out her cell phone, found the number in the address book and dialed it.
The phone kept ringing, but no one answered.
Liang Xinyun had no choice but to hang up, "No, he's probably busy again."
Han Chen: "What a waste of emotion, why do all this unnecessary work?"
Liang Xinyun: "No matter what, he's your father. You should at least tell him about your marriage, right?"
Han Chen: "Did it work? You called me too, did it work?"
Liang Xinyun was stunned and couldn't answer for a moment.
"Auntie, let's put this aside for now," Zhou Mo quickly comforted Liang Xinyun while pulling her hand. "Han Chen and I just got married not long ago. There's no rush to get married. It's also good for us to date first."
Liang Xinyun held Zhou Mo's hand tightly, "I'm mainly worried that you'll worry. Your parents love you so much, if you don't even know the situation of your son-in-law's parents, who will be at ease?"
Zhou Mo smiled and said, "We know you. You are so gentle and considerate. Han Chen is also very outstanding and responsible. That's enough. I believe in my parents. With you here, they trust you, that's enough."
Liang Xinyun sighed, "Girl, marriage isn't just about two people; it's about two families. It's not as easy as you say. Even if you've met each other's families, there's no guarantee they'll be together, let alone if you haven't met them before. Besides, Han Chen's father has a lot of rules, and the family relationships are complicated... I've been through it all, and I don't want you to go down that same path, so I'm reminding you."
She raised her eyes and looked at Han Chen, "Have you and Momo told me about the situation of the Han family?"
Han Chen: "I said a few things."
Liang Xinyun asked, "Where is your grandfather?"
Han Chen lowered his eyes: "No."
Liang Xinyun glared at him, then turned to Zhou Mo and said, "Han Chen's grandfather is an old stubborn man and very difficult to deal with. His uncles... are all in the government, and their way of thinking is exactly the same as his grandfather's. They are particularly concerned about family background. I'm afraid your family will suffer, do you understand? Han Chen's father is different. His father is a scientific researcher and is not often at home. He doesn't have such a strong sense of family background. He is also a member of the Han family. I thought that if he could support Han Chen and support this marriage, you would have less resistance, but..."
She hesitated to speak, her eyes shooting towards Han Chen, "This brat, no matter what I say, he won't listen. He just refuses to contact his father. He has been like this since he was a child. He can't get close to his father."
Han Chen turned his head away, avoiding Liang Xinyun's sight.
Zhou Mo looked at the cold atmosphere between the mother and son, and she cautiously asked Han Chen: "Can you tell me why?"
"Nothing," Han Chen said, "We haven't met many times since we were little. I'm not familiar with him."
Liang Xinyun was helpless and sighed deeply, "Han Chen never asked about his father when he was a child. His father was too busy with work and only came home once every few years. Every time he came home, he just hurriedly visited Han Chen's grandfather and didn't contact us much."
"It's not that there are not many, it's that there are almost none," Han Chen added.
Liang Xinyun wanted to refute, but Han Chen was telling the truth. "Well, our family of three is different from yours. Han Chen grew up with me, so to us, there are only two of us in our family. Han Chen and his father have an average relationship, and I hope you can understand that and not have any other thoughts. I know some parents don't want their daughters to marry boys with bad family relationships, but our family... our situation is special. It's not that our family relationships are not harmonious, but due to some objective reasons, we can't live a normal life as a family of three."
"I can understand that," Zhou Mo said.
Liang Xinyun was so thoughtful, how could she not understand?
"Before, we could only avoid talking about Han Chen's father. Now it's better, we can talk about it a little bit," Liang Xinyun said, "but... we haven't seen him in such a long time, it's hard to describe him. My impression of him is mostly from when we got married and I was pregnant with Han Chen."
