After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

As soon as Xu Ying finished speaking, Sister Ju coughed and gestured for her to look at the door.

Su Wenshan and his family of three stood at the door of the ward.

Su Yani forced a smile and said, "Grandma, I called my parents, and they insisted on coming, so I went downstairs to meet them. Have Qiao Ran and the others left yet?"

Xu Ying replied politely, "Thank you for coming all this way so late. Ya Ni, have you told your parents? Meng Chuan is fine, he just needed a dozen stitches, he didn't actually need to be hospitalized."

"He's a man, tough as nails, this little injury is nothing."

Moreover, it was his own mother who hurt Lin Mengchuan.

In Xu Ying's view, the fact that her mother stabbed her son was a family scandal.

Therefore, Xu Ying did not want too many people to know.

Su Yani: "I told you, Grandma, I've told you the general situation."

Xu Ying nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and looked at Su Wenshan:

"Wenshan, we just need to know about this. Don't let the people at the company know. Help Mengchuan ask for a sick leave in the next couple of days. Just say he has a cold and needs to rest for a couple of days."

“Yes, Madam,” Su Wenshan replied.

He looked at Lin Mengchuan, "Mengchuan, I'm sorry. I didn't expect things to escalate like this with Ya Ni's annulment of the engagement. But relationships are a matter between two people, you understand?"

Lin Mengchuan: "I understand, Uncle Su. I don't blame Ya Ni. Actually, I also felt that I wouldn't be happy with Ya Ni if we forced ourselves to be together. It's my mother who doesn't understand. I didn't expect her to take her anger out on someone else."

"Luckily I arrived in time. If she had injured Qiao Ran, this would have been a real problem."

Su Wenshan sighed helplessly, "Yes, if Qiao Ran is hurt, if word gets out, it will not only embarrass both our families, but it might also affect the company's business."

"After all, Qiao Ran is now the Qi family's daughter-in-law. Although it hasn't been made public, those who know about it basically know. Your mother really acted too impulsively this time."

"Even if there's something wrong, we can sit down and talk it over properly."

Lin Mengchuan: "My mother's personality has always been impulsive and stubborn, and she's also very single-minded. It's no use trying to persuade her."

Su Wenshan: "So what are you planning to do now? I came here to ask you if you want to contact a lawyer to bail your mother out? But you'll need to write a letter of understanding and have the lawyer take it with you."

Lin Mengchuan looked at his grandmother, Xu Ying.

Xu Ying pursed her lips. "Why are you looking at me like that? You are now the head of the Lin family, and she is your mother. You make the decision yourself. I will not interfere in this matter, nor in anything that happens in the future."

"By the way, I've already contacted the Shuiyue Nunnery in the suburbs. Once you're discharged from the hospital, I'll move there and won't interfere in worldly affairs anymore."

Lin Mengchuan and the three members of the Su family were all shocked upon hearing this.

Lin Mengchuan was puzzled. "Grandma, do you mean you want to become a nun? Why? If you do that, what will people think of our family? They might think I'm unfilial..."

Xu Ying looked at her grandson and asked in return, "Do you still care what other people think of our family?"

Lin Mengchuan choked.

Xu Ying sighed and continued, "Actually, I already had the idea of ​​moving to Shuiyue Nunnery when your grandfather passed away, so my donations to renovate Shuiyue Nunnery over the years have been driven by ulterior motives."

"I wanted to move to a temple to live a quiet life someday. I originally thought I would move there after you got married and had children, but now it seems I won't be able to wait that day."

"I don't want to wait anymore. Whether you get married or have children is none of my business. My child is gone, and I have nothing left to worry about. From now on, you'd better take care of yourself."

Lin Mengchuan didn't feel much pain when his mother, Shen Qingzhu, stabbed him.

But after hearing his grandmother's words, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, followed by a strange sense of panic.

Lin Mengchuan: "Grandma, are you really willing to leave me behind and go live in the mountains?"

Xu Ying remained unmoved. "Lin Mengchuan, do you think you're a three-year-old? How can you talk to me like that? What difference does it make whether I'm willing or not? I'm already this old, how many more years do I have left to live?"

"Do you expect me to watch you and your mother cause trouble every other day? And then I have to clean up your messes? Is that what you're thinking? Do I owe you anything?"

Lin Mengchuan's face flushed red with shame.

Su Wenshan, who was standing nearby, said, "Meng Chuan, your grandmother is right. She's getting on in years, and you really shouldn't let her continue to worry about things at home. Going to the mountains to live a quiet life is a good thing for her."

"The environment in the mountains is good and quiet, which is indeed a good place to retire. If I retire in the future, I would like to find a place like this to move to, away from the hustle and bustle of the world. It's great."

Lin Mengchuan felt relieved after hearing this analysis. "Alright... Grandma, if you really want to live in the mountains, then you should move there. I will try to visit you often when I have time."

"No!" Xu Ying refused. "Please don't go there so often. That's not a place for men. If you go there frequently, it will disturb other people. What's the point of me moving there then?"

"In short, from now on you just need to take care of your own affairs and don't need to worry about mine."

Lin Mengchuan looked at Sister Ju, "Then let Sister Ju go with you and take care of you. I'll pay her salary, okay?"

Xu Ying: "Do you think I can't afford Sister Ju's salary? Sister Ju won't come with me. She's going back to her hometown to take care of her grandson. I'll give her a pension fund. I'll handle this. You don't need to worry about it."

"Alright, that's settled then. Just know that. I'll leave once you're discharged. Now, you can have a good talk with Wenshan about your mother."

"But I want to remind you that you need to make sure your mother won't hurt Qiao Ran after she's released on bail."

Lin Mengchuan's expression was solemn, his brows furrowed. After remaining silent for more than ten seconds, as if he had made a great decision, he replied to Su Wenshan:

"Uncle Su, please don't bail my mother out for now. Let her reflect on her actions while she's in there. I'll deal with it after I'm discharged from the hospital in a few days."

Although Su Wenshan was somewhat surprised by Lin Mengchuan's reply, he did not raise any objections.

He was afraid that if he bailed Shen Qingzhu out, she would make trouble for him about the annulment of the engagement, and he would be in a difficult situation.

He also knew that Shen Qingzhu was the type who wouldn't give up easily.

That's fine, letting her stay inside will give everyone outside some peace and quiet.

The nurse came to urge everyone to turn off the lights and rest.

The three members of the Su family then took their leave.

As they left the inpatient building, Su Wenshan called out to his daughter, Su Yani, and asked, "Are you really not going to reconsider Meng Chuan?"

Su Yani raised her eyebrows and looked at her father. "Dad, after something like this has happened, why are you still asking me this question? With a mother-in-law with such an extreme personality, even if I like Lin Mengchuan, I wouldn't dare to marry him."

"Who knows what Aunt Shen might do one day to get upset and turn on me? Aren't there enough cases like this in the news? It's not just me; I think our whole family should stay away from them from now on."
