Chapter 252 The Beautiful Vase vs. the Stiff and Rough Man (45)
Qin Huaichen's expression was particularly cold, and even Qin Mingxian, who was standing behind Xu Yicai, could see it clearly.
He frowned immediately.
Suddenly, I realized that the son who always loved his mother wouldn't have this kind of expression.
"No need, she has no obligation to see you."
Xu Yicai was stunned, then became somewhat irritable, although her voice remained gentle, "I am your mother, how can I not have an obligation?"
Qin Huaichen did not back down in the face of her words. "I'm the one who pursued her, I'm the one who wants to date her, and it's me and her who will be together in the future. What does it have to do with you? Dad can watch because he won't interfere in my life, but you will."
"Huai Chen." Qin Mingxian felt that his son's words were a bit too much.
He habitually wanted to protect Xu Yicai.
At that moment, Liu Baozhu came over and grabbed his arm. When he turned around, she shook her head at him.
Although he didn't understand, he didn't say anything more.
"I'm interfering with you?" Xu Yicai could hardly believe what she was hearing. Her hand gripped her bag so tightly that her fingertips turned white. "Fine, fine, I've raised you all these years. And now you're turning around and biting me? After all these years, even a dog would wag its tail and fawn over me, and what about you?"
Qin Huaichen clenched his fists in anguish.
He Suining couldn't listen anymore.
Of all those present, perhaps only she understood the extent of his suffering. She might not be able to truly empathize, after all, she had never experienced anything like it.
But she would feel sorry for him and empathize with him.
“Auntie.” He Suining’s petite body stood in front of Qin Huaichen, though she couldn’t completely hide him, she still wanted to make her stance clear. “It’s absurd to compare your own son to a dog. Besides, you know perfectly well how you treated Huaichen when he was a child.”
"How did I treat him?" Xu Yicai seemed genuinely confused, her eyes filled with innocence, finding it all rather ridiculous. "What, Qin Huaichen, is this how you publicize me to your sister? Saying I abused you? Mingxian, you tell me, am I a good wife and a good mother?"
Qin Mingxian nodded.
In his memory, Xu Yicai was always gentle and soft-spoken. She didn't mind him working overtime and always kept the house in perfect order.
She took care of everything for her son, from his grades to his studies.
Qin Mingxian was very grateful to her for this.
If it weren't for the fact that Xu Yicai couldn't accept it in the end, and that she wanted a relationship that he felt he couldn't provide, the two of them would never have divorced.
"That's because you're faking it."
He Suining would rather not be Qin Huaichen.
She fully understood Qin Huaichen's conflicted feelings about not wanting to expose Xu Yicai's true feelings.
on the one hand.
Qin Huaichen dislikes Xu Yicai.
But on the other hand.
Xu Yicai is also his mother who gave birth to him and raised him.
So in the end, Qin Huaichen chose to back down. But after all that back and forth, this was the result.
Xu Yicai was furious. Her face, covered in makeup, contorted with a hint of ferocity, completely suppressing her gentleness.
She pointed her finger directly at He Suining, "Qin Huaichen! You just watched this wild girl who has no blood relation to you bully your mother, didn't you? If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have taken care of you day and night when you were discharged from the hospital in junior high!"
"Huai Chen".
Qin Mingxian's brows furrowed deeply. His affection for Sui Ning was a matter of love for the house and its inhabitants, but that didn't mean he could stand by and watch his son treat Xu Yicai this way.
Liu Baozhu did not speak.
She stood behind Qin Mingxian, shaking her head vigorously at He Suining to stop her from talking nonsense.
He Suining was not afraid.
Today she's going to expose this woman's true colors.
"Oh~" He Suining smiled sarcastically, crossed her arms and looked at Xu Yicai, "Then why don't you say anything about why Qin Huaichen went to the hospital?"
Xu Yicai looked at her, puzzled. "It's because he studies very hard that his immunity drops temporarily. What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing?"
He Suining laughed again, "Well, the version I heard is a little different from yours. Auntie, when Qin Huaichen was growing in junior high, you made him get up at six o'clock to go for a run, have breakfast, and then go to school. After school, he would come back, have lunch, and then rush to his tutoring class. After tutoring, he would go back to school. After school, he would go to calligraphy tutoring, and after calligraphy tutoring, he would go to dance tutoring. He wouldn't come back until midnight, and by the time he finished his homework, it was already two o'clock. He would sleep for four hours and then get up at six again."
"Excuse me, is he made of iron, Uncle?" She looked up at Qin Mingxian, who was equally shocked. "I want to ask you, as an adult, can you accept or withstand such an arrangement?"
Qin Mingxian moved his lips, looking at her in astonishment, but couldn't say a word for a long time.
He Suining continued.
She confided in Qin Huaichen and knew far more than just this.
The more I know, the more my heart aches.
She wished she could travel back to Qin Huaichen's childhood and take him away with her.
"Not only that, but it's the same in his daily life. What he eats and how many bites he takes, whether he writes with his left or right hand, whether he makes friends or not—all of these are decided by you. All the friends Qin Huaichen makes are arranged by you; they are all young masters and noblemen from good families."
But have you asked Qin Huaichen himself if he wants this kind of friend?
He clearly went to the class reunion wanting to make friends, but you used that as a reason to hit him. Do you think that's right?
One thing after another, one event after another.
She roughly recounted it.
Xu Yicai couldn't stand it and took a few steps back. She was not wrong, how could she be wrong?
"Xu Yicai".
Qin Mingxian snapped out of his daze, angrily walked over to Xu Yicai, grabbed her wrist, and forced her to turn to face him. "Is this how you treat our son? Why don't you ever say anything? Every time I ask you, you just say that Huaichen likes you, that you raised Huaichen very well, and then you take money from me."
"It's also my fault... I've never cared about Huaichen."
As he spoke, he shook off Xu Yicai's wrist, saying, "Get out of here and never show your face in front of us again. This isn't maternal love, it's controlling."
Qin Mingxian seemed to understand something. "Is it because of me? Because I didn't give you love, so you turned that love into a desire to control and torment Huai Chen? How ridiculous."
His eyes were red and his voice choked with emotion, "The ridiculous thing is, I always thought Huai Chen was like this because he couldn't bear to part with you, because he always deeply loved his mother who was good to him. Now I know that he hates you, and by extension, he hates this family, and he hates me!"
"..."
Xu Yicai could not accept it.
After being shaken off by Qin Mingxian, she stumbled toward Qin Huaichen and grabbed his wrist.
Just like when we were kids, she held on tightly, "Son! Huaichen!!! Tell him it's not like that. Yes, I admit I've been a bit too controlling with you, but I love you. I... I'm just afraid the outside world will hurt you."
