Quick Wear: The female supporting role saves the luck of the male supporting role and loses himself

Seeing she couldn't dodge, the old lady took the initiative and stomped her cane hard, scolding him harshly: "Why are you yelling? I'm your mother. How dare you talk to her like that? You have no respect for your parents!"

The old lady's wrinkled face turned red with excitement, and her cloudy eyes flashed with anger.

Kang Jianxin's temples throbbed with rage. He was helpless to deal with such a clueless mother. Not only had her son been spoiled, but now even his career was in jeopardy.

Kang Jianxin took a deep breath and suppressed his anger as he asked, "Mom, what on earth did you do? You actually asked the top leader to ask me to take care of the household chores at the meeting!" His voice trembled slightly as he suppressed his anger.

Hearing her son's words, the old lady felt even more guilty. She knew that what Kang Jianxin hated most was people using the family's reputation for personal gain. This time, he was actually singled out by the leader for criticism. No wonder her son was so angry.

But the old lady still held on to her dignity and said confidently, "It's all your fault! That Lin Yi is even more hateful. I've tried to talk to her many times, but she just won't budge. I just want my great-grandchildren to come back to me. What have I done wrong?"

The old lady has been strong and domineering all her life. She always thinks that others are wrong, as if the whole world should revolve around her.

Kang Jianxin slammed the table: "Mom, tell me now, what did you do to Lin Yi?" His voice was so angry that the old lady trembled all over.

The old lady lowered her head awkwardly and stammered, "Didn't she go to Kyoto to apply for a patent last time... I asked someone to slow down the review process of her patent..."

The old lady's voice became smaller and smaller. "If she had returned Xiaoyu and Huanhuan to us, would I have done this?" At the end of her speech, the old lady became more and more righteous, as if everything was Lin Yi's fault.

"We're new here. Didn't I tell you not to act rashly without understanding the situation?"

Kang Jianxin held his forehead with his hand, aching as he explained earnestly, "The city is now requiring that everything be prioritized for economic development. Lin Yi and his team are planning to build a daily chemical factory, and the leaders are keeping an eye on it! This is also a pilot program for the transition from state-owned enterprises to private enterprises. What's the difference between you strangling them and strangling me?"

Zhang Cuilan became anxious when she heard this and asked with concern: "Does it have a big impact on you?"

"Not long after I took office, I gave the leaders the impression that I was indulging my family in unreasonably suppressing the people. What do you think?" Kang Jianxin asked back unhappily.

The old lady still didn't think she had done anything wrong, and she argued, "I just wanted my great-grandchild back, so I asked them to delay the review. Is it necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"

"Bang!" Kang Jianxin slammed the coffee table so hard that the teacups vibrated.

The old lady and Zhang Cuilan were both startled. This was the first time Kang Jianxin had gotten so angry at the old lady, and it seemed like he was really in trouble this time.

"Do you know who is cooperating with Lin Yi and his wife? They are from the Liu and Song families in Kyoto! Is that someone we can afford to offend?" Kang Jianxin asked angrily.

Kang Jianxin then sat back on the sofa dejectedly, grinning bitterly, "I had hoped to achieve some success here, and then use the connections of these two companies to return to Kyoto. Now it's all over!"

Seeing Kang Jianxin like this, the old lady and Zhang Cuilan were both terrified. Especially the old lady, she no longer had the arrogance she once had.

Kang Jianxin rubbed his brows and warned the old lady: "Mom, you are not allowed to interfere in the children's affairs anymore."

The old lady became anxious upon hearing this and burst into tears immediately: "I am an old man, how many years do I have left to live? I might as well die now if I can't see my great-grandchildren return to their roots!" She wiped her tears exaggeratedly, her voice shrill.

Kang Jianxin didn't indulge the old lady this time and said coldly, "Mom, you know that the young woman was pregnant with Qinghua's child. You were so cruel as to let Qinghua abandon her back then. Now that you want to snatch the child away, should she give it to you?"

Kang Jianxin's question was like a heavy hammer, which made the old lady speechless for a moment. She was so stunned that she even forgot to act.

"In my opinion, Lin Yi and his wife are both upright and responsible comrades. It's not a bad thing for the child to stay with them. Otherwise, if he is adopted, he will be spoiled by you again!"

Kang Jianxin finally spoke out the resentment that had been pent up for years. He was indeed busy with work and neglected the discipline of his children, but the old lady was the root cause of Kang Qinghua's current situation.

"Are you blaming me now? Why is my life so hard? I helped you raise your child with so much trouble, but in the end, I get so many complaints!" The old lady wiped her tears in grievance, her voice choked with sobs.

But Kang Jianxin remained unmoved. He acted like the head of the family and said seriously, "From now on, Cuilan will take care of all the household affairs. Mom, you and Dad are old, and it's time for you to enjoy your retirement. As for the children's affairs, I will handle them myself, and none of you are allowed to interfere!"

After saying that, Kang Jianxin didn't give the old lady a chance to bargain and strode out of the house.

The old lady pointed at Kang Jianxin's back with a trembling finger and accused Zhang Cuilan: "Look at him, what a mess he looks like. How could he treat his own mother like this?" Her voice was sharp and piercing with anger.

With Kang Jianxin's support, Zhang Cuilan no longer indulged the old lady and replied indifferently: "Mom, Jianxin has always been a sensible person. We are all women, and not causing trouble for him is the greatest support for him!"

Zhang Cuilan spoke calmly, not caring at all about the old lady's anger.

The old lady stared at her daughter-in-law, who had always been submissive to her, in astonishment. It felt unreal. What had happened today? Did anyone dare to embarrass her?

Finally, the old lady opened her mouth, but found that she had nothing to say. She could only angrily return to her room on her crutches and slam the door loudly.
