Chapter 165 Going Against the Grain



"So now I'm the only bad guy?"

Sister-in-law Chi turned her head away and secretly wiped away her tears.

She knew that this was the path her son wanted to take.

She also knew that with Chenyi by her side, her son's future wouldn't be a big worry.

Can……

No amount of grand principles can compare to a mother's loving heart.

She was really worried.

"Xingxing is only nine years old... Waaah, I really can't bear to part with her."

Sister-in-law Chi couldn't help but sob, and began to tell Chi Dashan many stories about Xingxing's childhood.

Children are the apple of their mother's eye.

Although Mrs. Chi favors her well-behaved younger son over her two sons, she also devotes a lot of love and care to Xingxing.

“I remember when he was three years old, he had a fever and kept fussing, wanting me to hold him. He wouldn’t let anyone else hold him. I carried him around all night, and the next day my arms were so sore I could barely lift them… But my little one, who was so attached to me, now wants to run so far…”

"Big Mountain, do the stars no longer need me? Waaah..."

The faint sound of a woman's sobbing could be heard in the flower hall.

Everyone stood there silently, without saying a word.

That's why no one ever forces Sister-in-law Chi to make a decision.

Because no one is Sister-in-law Chi, no one can truly understand her feelings.

She was the only one who could make the decision.

"Mom, I'm not going. I'll stay home with you. I can study and then go to the martial arts school to learn martial arts, that's the same."

Chi Shuxing rushed out and excitedly shouted to his mother.

Sister-in-law Chi was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting that Xingxing would hear her crying.

"Star!"

Chi Dashan looked at his son with some disapproval.

He could tell that his wife wasn't unwilling, she just couldn't bear to part with him. He figured that if he talked to her properly, she would eventually understand.

But then his son changed his mind...

"I can still be successful even if I don't go with Chen Yi!"

That's how confident Chi Shu-hsing is!

If he's capable, he can succeed anywhere!

You don't have to choose a path that will make your mother sad!

Chi Dashan looked at his son, who was incredibly persistent and had his own ideas, and was somewhat speechless.

It was this experience that made him realize that his son was really not like him...

"Go! Stars, go!"

Sister-in-law Chi wiped away her tears and surprisingly relented.

The woman's eyes were filled with tears, her beauty touching, radiating maternal love: "You've grown up, and one day your mother will leave you. As long as you can take good care of yourself and stay safe and sound, your mother is willing to let go."

"Really? You didn't cry secretly?"

Chi Shuxing could hardly believe it.

He genuinely didn't care.

No matter how much I want to go, nothing is more important than my parents.

Moreover, he firmly believes that he will make a name for himself no matter where he is!

"No more." Sister-in-law Chi said, both amused and exasperated.

My eldest son is really like a grown-up!

Chi Shuxing nodded: "Alright then. Don't change your mind later."

Sister-in-law Chi: "No."

Then Chi Shuxing happily dragged Huo Chenyi to ask about things on the coast of the South China Sea.

It seems like everything is going as expected.

"This kid, he's even going against the grain now," Chi Erchuan remarked from the side.

His nephew is a man of great wisdom.

This perfectly captures the conflicted feelings of the eldest sister-in-law as a mother!

Tsk tsk.

Sister-in-law Chi and Chi Dashan also belatedly realized what was happening.

However, once a decision has been made, Sister-in-law Chi is not one to go back on her word. On the contrary, she feels much more at ease because she has made the decision.

"Xingxing has been smart since she was a child."

His tone was very proud.

——

After Chi Tang wakes up from her afternoon nap, Huo Chenyi will take his leave, along with Chi Shuxing.

"So fast?"

Although Sister-in-law Chi had already agreed, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

My heart immediately clenched.

Chi Shuxing resorted to his usual tactic: "Mother, if you can't bear to part with me, then I won't go."

"Get out of here, get out of here," Sister-in-law Chi said irritably.

Why use the same trick twice?

Do you think she's stupid?

However, this lighthearted banter helped to dispel much of the somber atmosphere.

Chi Tang asked Huo Chenyi in a low voice, "Is your mother... alright?"

Since taking away the maid's portrait last time, she has never dreamed of Princess Duanyang again.

But I've never asked.

"It's alright, my mother found an excuse to send those two away."

"Who wants to harm you?"

"Tangtang, some things are not suitable to be investigated thoroughly, whether it's you or me."

Huo Chenyi did not conduct a thorough investigation.

His mother even shifted the blame for the incident onto Huo Minglang and his wife!

Huo Minglang naturally denied it.

But "some people" will naturally make sure that the blame is firmly welded onto Huo Minglang's head.

In order to convince the other party that she and her son truly believed that Huo Minglang had done it, the mother did not say anything more after Huo Minglang was punished.

He even went to the temple to fulfill his vow, saying that he was thanking Buddha for making Huo Minglang suffer.

Hearing Huo Chenyi whispering about Princess Duanyang, Chi Tang's eyes lit up. She covered her mouth, overjoyed, and exclaimed, "Wow, my wife, your mother is amazing! I admire her so much!"

What does it mean to appear foolish but actually be wise?

What does it mean for life to be like a play?

This Princess Duanyang may seem like a pawn, but she has thoroughly understood the thoughts of the players and then comfortably played her role as a pawn!
