Liao Nanxing looked troubled.
"Mom, it's not that I don't want a divorce! I already offered her 300,000 yuan, but she wouldn't agree! She insists I leave with nothing. How am I supposed to get a divorce?"
"That shameless wretch! She's gone too far! Just wait, once I recover, I'll teach her a lesson!" Xu Xiuzhen started rambling again about how she had initially refused to let Zhou Chunhua into the family.
Liao Nanxing, who had been feeling uneasy, became even more annoyed by Xu Xiuzhen's incessant complaints.
"Mom, can you please stop making things worse? You keep saying you'll deal with her, but what have you actually done? If you can't beat her, then mind your own business, stop bothering her, and stop making me worry so much, okay? I'm already busy enough with work, and you keep getting yourself sick from all the time, and then you have to come to the hospital for all that trouble! I'm very busy with work, can't you at least consider my situation a little?"
After Liao Nanxing finished shouting, Xu Xiuzhen was dumbfounded.
This is the first time in my life that my son has ever scolded me.
"Am I just looking for trouble? I did all this for you, didn't I?" Xu Xiuzhen cried, feeling wronged.
Su Mu remained silent, his eyes filled with anticipation.
That's right! Liao Nanxing likes her obedient nature, so the only way to force Liao Nanxing to divorce is to let Xu Xiuzhen handle it.
She absolutely cannot allow herself to be a mistress who can never be seen in the light of day for the rest of her life, nor can she allow her child to be an illegitimate child for the rest of her life.
When Su Mu heard Liao Nanxing say, "Anyway, I'll play along if she wants to, I have no money," he almost ground his teeth to powder.
“Mom, Anan has had a tough time these past few days. You’re sick, and no matter how busy he is at work, he still makes sure to come to the hospital several times a day to check on you. He must be exhausted, which is why he didn’t pay attention to his tone of voice.” Su Mu stepped forward to break the silence.
Xu Xiuzhen sobbed, "I didn't say he was unfilial, I just felt sorry for him! A person's life is only a few decades long, and to waste it like this is also a waste of one's own time! Who doesn't want a house full of children and grandchildren? Who doesn't want a harmonious family?"
"Mom, you're still sick, you need to control your emotions and not get agitated." Su Mu held Xu Xiuzhen's hand and turned to her: "Anan, how can you talk to your mother like that? I'm just worried that she'll embarrass you and I'm anxious for you."
"Our Mumu is so sweet and caring. No wonder Nanxing likes you so much." Xu Xiuzhen took the tissue Su Mu handed her and wiped her tears.
“Mumu is right. Since we can’t reach an agreement, let’s just have a showdown with her.” At this point, Xu Xiuzhen’s eyes lit up: “Come here, Mumu. Go and close the door.”
Su Mu obediently got up to close the door, Liao Nanxing frowned and sat down on the edge of the bed, and Xu Xiuzhen leaned forward and whispered.
Su Mu, who had just returned from the hospital room, saw the two whispering to each other. One was talking animatedly, while the other looked worried.
She didn't know what Xu Xiuzhen said, but after a while, Liao Nanxing seemed to calm down.
"Mom, you should rest well. I'll hire a caregiver to look after you. I'll come over later."
Seeing Liao Nanxing get up and walk out, she quickly said, "Mom, you rest. I should go back to work too." Then she chased after Liao Nanxing.
"Mumu!"
Su Mu first grabbed Liao Nanxing before turning around.
"Mumu, Mom's so sick, and you still have the mind to go to work? Let me tell you, you'll have to quit your job after you and Nanxing get married. Besides, work is so tiring, what will happen to my grandson? Why don't you quit your job? Just stay at the hospital and talk to me when you have time,"
Su Mu suppressed the urge to curse and forced a bitter smile.
"Mom, I know you feel sorry for me and the baby. But Nanxing didn't marry me, how can I dare to quit my job? I have no official status, this job is my and my child's last resort."
Xu Xiuzhen glanced at Liao Nanxing and promised, "Mumu, don't worry, Mom guarantees that it won't be long before Zhou Chunhua is begging Nanxing to divorce her. Our Liao family's daughter-in-law can only be you! You should reconsider quitting your job to take care of Nanxing and this family."
"Mmm." Su Mu squeezed out two tears and left the ward with Liao Nanxing.
Liao Nanxing told her to wait in the car while he went to get a caregiver for Xu Xiuzhen before taking her home to rest.
While waiting for Liao Nanxing in the car, Su Mu felt confident of victory just thinking about how Xu Xiuzhen spoke.
Afterwards, Liao Nanxing took Su Mu home.
"Mumu, get some sleep first, and pack your things when you wake up. I'll come pick you up after get off work."
"Pick me up? Pick me up where?"
"I'll take you back to Xiyuan."
"Why?" Su Mu asked nervously.
It took her seven years to finally walk openly and legitimately into the Liao family.
"Anan." She took Liao Nanxing's hand and said coquettishly, "What about you? Are you going to come back to Xiyuan with me?"
Only by keeping Liao Nanxing by her side can she spur Zhou Chunhua to divorce him sooner.
Liao Nanxing rubbed Su Mu's head.
"I need to get things sorted out here first, don't I?"
Does that mean she left alone, looking dejected?
"Anan! Are you worried about me being home alone?" Su Mu looked up, tears welling in her eyes. "Are you... are you planning to abandon me and the baby?"
As she finished speaking, a tear slid right off the corner of her eye.
Liao Nanxing hurriedly hugged the person tightly in his arms to comfort him.
"Fool, what nonsense are you talking about! How could I not want you and the baby? Listen to me, sending you back to Xiyuan is to give you and the baby a home as soon as possible."
Su Mu's anxiety eased slightly.
What exactly did Mom say to you today?
Liao Nanxing slowly stepped back, cradling Su Mu's chin and gazing at him with deep affection.
