Chapter 298 She regretted it

"Me? Follow Jiang Duo to the Jiang family? Haha," Mingzhu couldn't help but laughed.

"Ms. Fang, you haven't forgotten that after you came to Nanshi, you found fault with me again and again, and told me many times in person that the Jiang family would not recognize me as a daughter-in-law."

Fang Shuyu's face was embarrassed. Does this little girl have to bring up all the issues?

"Now that things have come to this, and you are pregnant, it is impossible for us to stop it, so..."

"So, you plan to accept me helplessly? There is no need!" Mingzhu interrupted her unceremoniously: "Where do you get the confidence to think that I will be willing to accept you?"

Fang Shuyu was stunned.

Mingzhu's eyes were the most calm and indifferent she had ever seen. There was even a hint of sarcasm in the corners of her eyes: "If Jiang Duo wants to go back to visit his grandfather, it is his filial duty. I will not stop him. But if you ask me to go with you... it is really unnecessary, because in my eyes, your family is not a qualified in-law. No matter how superior you think your family's conditions are, in my eyes, they are not worth mentioning. I only want Jiang Duo and don't accept you!"

Fang Shuyu saw that Mingzhu really didn't want to accept them, but...

"Have you considered Jiang Duo's position? On one side is his family, and on the other side is his wife. He will be embarrassed to be caught in the middle."

"I've said before that I won't stop you from interacting with each other, but don't get involved with me. I have no reason to compromise with you just because your needs have changed. I don't owe you anything."

Fang Shuyu stared at Mingzhu's eyes, and her mind suddenly recalled a casual chat she had with Hou Xiaoqing after dinner when she first came to Nanshi.

She asked Hou Xiaoqing: "Why do you like Mingzhu so much? She and Jiang Duo are clearly not suitable in all aspects."

Hou Xiaoqing smiled calmly at the time: "Background cannot determine everything about a person. Mingzhu's... temperament and upbringing are definitely the best among all the second-generation military and official children I have seen. I even think that my Minglang has been well-educated, but he can't compare with that child."

"You are really exaggerating."

"Exaggeration? It's rare to find a girl with her own opinions and ideas. What's more, your Xiaoduo is not a lustful child. How bad do you think the woman he loves can be? It's because you are a little biased now, and you are bound by the halo of your family background. Just wait and see, when you can accept that child, you will suffer."

Fang Shuyu's thoughts gradually retracted, and her eyes fell on Mingzhu's face. Was it her rejection that crossed her bottom line?

The two were looking at each other, and the door of the ward opened. Jiang Duo came in from outside. Seeing Fang Shuyu there, his originally calm face suddenly changed to serious: "Why are you here again?"

Fang Shuyu saw her son's attitude and was angry in her heart. If it were normal, she would be angry with him.

But now, because of Ning Shuang's matter, she felt that she owed Mingzhu, and naturally she could understand Jiang Duo's cold attitude: "Your father called and asked me to go back to Beijing tomorrow. Your grandfather is not feeling well."

Jiang Duo frowned: "Is it serious?"

"Not sure, he just said that he was hospitalized yesterday. The specific situation needs to be checked out. I came here to ask you if you want to go back to see him and spend the New Year together," she said, glancing at Mingzhu.

Seeing that Mingzhu really had no intention of speaking to persuade Jiang Duo, she had to say it herself: "Your grandfather is old, and every year he gets older, Mingzhu is pregnant now, and it's also a hope for him to see with his own eyes that he is about to have a great-grandson..."

Jiang Duo has lived with Mingzhu for a long time, and he can guess what she is thinking with just a glance, and what it means for her not to speak.

He was silent for a moment before he replied, "I have plans to take Zhuzhu back, but I won't take her home to suffer. I will find time to visit Grandpa."

Fang Shuyu couldn't suppress her surprise when she heard this: "Are you really going back to Beijing? What about in the future? Do you plan to go back to work?"

Jiang Duo glanced at Mingzhu: "Then... let's see what Zhuzhu thinks."

Mingzhu smiled at Jiang Duo's eyebrows. Look at what he said, it makes her proud.

At this moment, Fang Shuyu had a gloomy face. She knew her son's temper. Since she could say this, it meant that as long as Mingzhu nodded, they could go back to Beijing.

But Mingzhu just didn't get along with her...

She really regretted it now. If she had known that she would have to compromise anyway, she should not have gone against Mingzhu when she came.

Mingzhu ignored Fang Shuyu's expression and asked Jiang Duo: "Have you said hello to your aunt?"

"Yes, the discharge procedures have been completed. We will be able to leave after packing up."

Mingzhu looked at Fang Shuyu: "Ms. Fang, we are leaving. Do you plan to stay here for a while?"

Fang Shuyu looked at Mingzhu and shook her head: "No, I'm leaving now."

She looked at Jiang Duo: "When are you returning to Beijing? I can also prepare in advance..."

"No need, I just said that we will not return to the Jiang family."

"Then I can pack up your place in advance..."

"No, I can do it myself."

Fang Shuyu looked at her son's cold and indifferent look, feeling angry and helpless. She hadn't done anything unforgivable. She was clearly doing it for the good of the Jiang family and him, but the result was...

Never mind, she gave birth to a child, just bear with it.

After she left, Jiang Duo turned around and continued to pack up. Mingzhu wanted to help, but Jiang Duo stopped her: "You sit down, I'll pack it up."

Mingzhu simply sat by the bed, crossed her legs, and swayed leisurely: "Your mother seems to be looking forward to your return to Beijing to work. Did she often mention it to you before?"

"Yes."

Mingzhu tilted her head, looking curious: "But you have never agreed, so you are willing to transfer back to Beijing now, is it really just to avoid living apart from me?"

Jiang Duo packed his things, tied the luggage bag, looked at her, and said calmly: "Well, we can't live apart after getting married."

Mingzhu could feel that Jiang Duo didn't like Beijing, and he didn't have any yearning for the so-called prosperous metropolis, but for his own sake, he was willing to change his original intention and return to a place he didn't like very much...

She stood up, walked to Jiang Duo, raised her arms to hug his strong waist, looked up at him, her eyes were not naughty and cunning as when she deliberately teased him in the past, but more of a gentle and elegant look that rarely appeared on her face.

"Jiang Duo, I won't let you regret any decision you make for me."

Jiang Duo raised his hand and gently stroked her forehead: "I know."

He had never thought of regretting it. As long as he could be with her for a long time without separation, he was willing to... face all the pain that he could not face again. -
