The raised dragon-headed cane was about to hit Ye Xia, and Ye Xia shrank back in fear.
In her early years, she suffered a lot at the hands of the old lady. She was only nineteen years old at that time. And because the old lady was Mu Jingsheng's mother, she was always afraid in front of the old lady. This fear of the other party was engraved in her bones. Even if she was stupid or crazy, her first reaction when facing the old lady was like the fear of a mouse seeing a cat.
Mu Jingsheng grabbed the dragon-headed cane.
Seeing the old lady glaring at him, he didn't hesitate to snatch the cane from the old lady's hand and threw it aside.
With a snap, the crutch fell to the ground.
Mu Jingsheng hugged Ye Xia lovingly, protecting her in his arms, and straightened his back to confront the old lady.
The sound of the cane hitting the ground frightened Ye Xia greatly. She knew she was wrong, but she didn't know how to express it clearly. She could only grab the corner of Mu Jingsheng's clothes and kept saying incoherently, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have, I'm sorry..."
"It's not your fault." Mu Jingsheng felt sorry for her and hugged her again.
He knew Ye Xia's character, and also knew his own mother's character. This was obviously his mother looking for trouble.
Ye Xia was so anxious that tears were falling. She grabbed Mu Jingsheng's hand, shook her head and said with red eyes: "I feel uncomfortable and anxious. I miss my little daughter..."
Mu Jingsheng felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Watching his wife's tears falling continuously, he felt so sad. Coupled with his wife's words about missing home and their daughter, the longing in his heart became even stronger, and the sad emotion made him particularly painful.
But his mother called him back on the pretext of illness, preventing him from leaving.
It would be unfilial for him to leave.
In this world, filial piety is more important than anything else.
Mu Jingsheng's eyes also turned red, and he took Ye Xia's hand and was about to walk out.
"Where are you going!" Seeing this, Old Lady Mu was so angry that she immediately raised her voice.
Mu Jingsheng turned and looked at her, his slightly red eyes showing obvious disappointment and a hint of anger: "Mom, I have listened to you and come back. My daughter is still pregnant, and Xiaoxia and I are not with her. Instead, we are here to accompany you. Can't you be nicer to Xiaoxia?"
"We won't be staying at home tonight, so go to bed early!"
After saying that, he hugged Ye Xia and was about to leave.
When Old Lady Mu saw this, she stood up in an instant and pointed at his back and said, "Okay, so you're going to abandon your mother for a foreign woman? I really raised you in vain!"
"If you dare to walk out of this house, don't ever come back!"
Mu Jingsheng froze in his tracks.
As the door opened, a cold wind blew into the living room, making his heart fall into an icy cave.
He also got angry, turned his head, and looked at the old lady with dissatisfaction: "Mom, it's just a cup, why are you so angry?"
"A cup?"
Old Mrs. Mu sneered.
She was determined to embarrass Ye Xia today and would not take Mu Jingsheng's advice at all.
She was eager to find Ye Xia's fault and drive her out. Even if she didn't drive Ye Xia out, she would make Mu Jingsheng quarrel with Ye Xia. If Fang Zheng was not happy, Ye Xia would not be happy either.
The nanny who was supporting the old lady had a bad look on her face, but she pretended to be embarrassed and said in a fake way: "Mr. Mu, don't be angry with the old lady. You know, the old lady has a bad heart!"
Mu Jingsheng glanced at her and said, "Aunt Li, please don't interfere in our family affairs."
Don't think he doesn't know that Aunt Li, relying on the fact that she has been with his mother for many years, always secretly gives his wife a hard time.
Unfortunately, his mother has always had a crush on Aunt Li, so he can't get rid of her. But under his nose, no one can abuse their power.
Aunt Li felt deflated and looked at Old Lady Mu helplessly.
Old Lady Mu covered her chest, looking frightened, and said sadly: "Jingsheng, I am your mother. I am too old to be frightened. She deliberately smashed the cup behind my back to scare me to death so that she can be the mistress of our family. Don't you feel sorry for me when you give me acupuncture? I really gave birth to you in vain!"
"Mom! Why are you saying that again? These are two completely different things!"
Mu Jingsheng also became anxious when he heard this.
As a result, the old lady snorted and continued unwillingly: "Back then, when you were sent to the countryside, I tried every possible way to get you back. In order to get you back, I almost spent all our family assets and even my entire life..."
Mu Jingsheng's anger just started to subside.
When his family got into trouble, his father ran away abroad without caring about his son who was still in school. But he didn't have time to run away, as he received a notice at school and was forced to go to the countryside.
After he went to the countryside, it was the old lady who had divorced his father who ran around to save him.
The old lady was still charming when she was young and had a good family background. An important man took a fancy to her and wanted to marry her on the condition of saving him.
It was originally a good thing, and the other party's conditions were not bad either, but the bad thing was that he was not a good person. His three wives had died. I heard that they were all beaten to death by him. And they were all very beautiful. Others said that he liked to marry beautiful wives, bring them home, and slowly torture them to death. Who would dare to marry such a person?
But that big shot had his eyes on his mother.
Because of him, his mother had to fight with that pervert a lot and almost lost her whole life.
No one knew what happened later, but his mother dumped that big shot, almost squandering all the family fortune, and rescued him from the countryside with her own abilities.
So because of this incident, he has always felt guilty towards the old lady.
The old lady always said: If I hadn't taken the trouble to pull you out of the ravine, you wouldn't be where you are today, and you, Zhang Jie, wouldn't be here today to oppose me!
Every time he heard this he felt weird.
But he couldn't refute it.
Seeing that Mu Jingsheng didn't say anything, the old lady knew that he felt guilty. While being supported by the nanny, she covered her chest and said, "Jingsheng, if I hadn't pulled you out of the ravine, you wouldn't be where you are today..."
"Who cares about you?"
Suddenly, a cold voice blew into the living room along with the cold wind, shocking everyone.
Mu Jingsheng and Ye Xia were both stunned.
Mu Jingsheng turned his head and looked behind him, and saw a car in the darkness outside the door.
In this place, cars are neither rare nor uncommon, after all, the people living around him are all as wealthy and powerful as him.
But in the light of the car lights, the person walking towards him with a baby in his arms was his daughter!
"Xiao, Xiaoyun?"
"Little girl?!" Ye Xia widened her eyes and slapped herself with her hand.
The slapping sound was very crisp. Ye Xia slapped herself so hard that her cheeks trembled. The burning pain made her realize that this was not an illusion. She screamed and ran towards Ye Yun excitedly.
