Chapter 426 The Han Family Wants to Leave the Son and Keep the Daughter-in-Law!
Anmi also brought a bouquet of fragrant lilies.
Qi Mingxuan hugged the lily and smelled it; there were still dewdrops on the petals.
Her gloomy mood lifted considerably, and she praised Anmi for becoming increasingly adept at buying flowers.
Anmi was extremely proud: "Of course! After following you, President Qi, for so many years, if I still couldn't figure out your preferences, then I would be too stupid!"
In private, Anmi is a playful young girl.
However, in the workplace, Anmi has very strong business skills.
She has a strong learning ability and a high adversity quotient.
Qi Mingxuan intended to cultivate her talent.
"I'll be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days. When you go back to the company later, please bring my laptop over. You can chair the routine meetings these days, but I'll handle the overseas meetings myself."
Anmi nodded: "I understand."
Afterwards, Qi Mingxuan gave some work-related instructions.
Anmi wrote everything down, left the female caregiver behind, and went back to the company to get her computer.
...
Around 6 o'clock, Han's mother, along with two elders and Qi Yue, came to see Qi Mingxuan.
They brought Qi Mingxuan porridge and some light, easily digestible side dishes.
Han's mother set up a small table and placed the white porridge and side dishes she had brought in front of Qi Mingxuan.
"Xiaoxuan, don't worry, these dishes were prepared by the family chef after consulting with the doctor. You haven't eaten since yesterday, you must be starving."
I don't really have much of an appetite.
But Qi Mingxuan couldn't bear to disappoint her elders.
She smiled slightly at Han's mother and said, "Thank you, Mother-in-law."
"Oh dear, why call me 'Grandma'?" Han's mother waved her hand. "Call me 'Mom,' Mom is more affectionate!"
Qi Mingxuan was stunned.
She lost both her parents at a young age, and her eldest brother took on the role of a parent and accompanied her as she grew up.
I can't even remember the last time I called out "Dad" and "Mom".
Han's mother stared at her, the expectation in her eyes was obvious.
Qi Mingxuan was touched. She looked at Han's mother and smiled, "Mom."
It's 'mama', not 'ma'.
When she uttered those two words, Qi Mingxuan felt a sharp pang of sadness. She quickly lowered her head, grabbed a soup spoon, and, trying to appear calm, scooped up a mouthful of porridge and put it in her mouth.
She held the white porridge in her mouth, pursed her lips tightly, and slowly swallowed.
There were tears in the bowl.
Upon seeing this, Madam Han and Grandpa Han exchanged a glance and gave each other a look. The two old people then took Qi Yue and went out first.
In the ward, Han's mother looked at Qi Mingxuan with her head down, enduring the pain, and her eyes also reddened.
"Child, you've been wronged."
Han's mother walked to her side and reached out to pat her head. "Mingyu is my son. I know his temper best. I know he forced you to have a second child and left you alone in the hospital. Don't worry, Mom will definitely give you an explanation for this!"
Qi Mingxuan took a deep breath, forcing back her tears, before raising her head to look at Han's mother.
"Please don't be angry with Han Mingyu because of me. Actually, I was the one who was in the wrong first. I used improper means to give birth to Qi Yue, and I forced him to take Qi Yue back to the Han family to acknowledge his ancestors. It's normal for him to blame me and hate me."
"I don't care, you gave him a son, you are a great contributor to our Han family!"
Qi Mingxuan: "..."
Han's mother held Qi Mingxuan's hand, her eyes sincere: "Xiaoxuan, I know that in terms of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, you may feel that I, as the mother-in-law, am always on Han Mingyu's side, but I hope that in the future you can treat me as a fellow woman. I am a mother, a wife, and a daughter-in-law, but first and foremost I am myself, a woman."
Qi Mingxuan froze, looking at Han's mother, unsure how to react for a moment.
“Xiaoxuan, remember this: you have not wronged Mingyu. From a biological point of view, regardless of how Qi Yue came to be, Mingyu, as Qi Yue’s biological father, has the responsibility to fulfill his duties as a father.”
"From a marital perspective, regardless of how your marriage came about, Mingyu is an adult. If he doesn't want to get married, no one can force him. Now that you're married, you have to fulfill your duties and responsibilities as a husband!"
“Now that you’re sick, he left you at the hospital all night and didn’t come back. As a husband, he disappeared when his wife was at her most vulnerable and needed companionship and care. That’s wrong of him!”
As Han's mother spoke, her expression became increasingly serious: "Xiaoxuan, I know you resent him, and it's understandable that you do."
Qi Mingxuan's eyes welled up with tears. "Mom, I do blame him, but we never had a foundation of love between us. It's inevitable that we'd be together in name only. Actually, I was impulsive about getting married. If I had thought about it more carefully when he proposed, maybe none of this would have happened."
"Look at you!" Han's mother scolded her, "How can someone as shrewd and capable as you in business become so stupid when it comes to matters of the heart? All men are like that. You're beautiful and have a great figure. Mingyu only married you because he was attracted to you. He's a scumbag! And you're even reflecting on yourself? Mingyu only dares to treat you like this because he takes advantage of your single-mindedness in relationships!"
Qi Mingxuan was taken aback.
Han's mother held her hand tightly, "Xiaoxuan, we need to change!"
Qi Mingxuan frowned, "Mom, I don't understand what you mean..."
“From now on, you will move to Hanlou and live with us. Qi Yue will also come over.”
Qi Mingxuan frowned. "Are you saying that I should separate from Han Mingyu?"
"Yes!" Mother Han patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, you called me 'Mom,' so as your mother, I will never let you suffer any injustice. We, the Han family, have three sons, and now we have daughters-in-law and grandchildren. That bastard Han Mingyu only dares to bully you like this because your family has no one else. It's alright, your father, your grandparents, Qi Yue, and I will all stand by you from now on. If that bastard Mingyu doesn't learn his lesson, then our Han family will leave the sons behind and keep the daughter-in-law!"
Qi Mingxuan: "..."
Things seem to be getting a little out of control.
Why does it feel like she took advantage of Han Mingyu to badmouth him?
However, Qi Mingxuan felt it was better not to involve the elders in this matter.
She knew that the elders of the Han family were very open-minded and tolerant of her.
But it's really too difficult for two people who hate each other to be husband and wife for a lifetime.
They've only been married for a little over a month, and she and Han Mingyu have already argued several times.
Qi Mingxuan really felt very tired.
“Mom, I like you very much too. I feel so lucky to have met such a good mother-in-law like you.” Qi Mingxuan looked at Han’s mother with a serious expression: “But I’m sorry, I have already filed for divorce from Han Mingyu. After I am discharged from the hospital, we will go and complete the divorce procedures.”
Upon hearing this, Han's mother was stunned.
