Leaving the restaurant, we entered the Zhan family courtyard.

Yang Huirong beamed with joy and said with satisfaction, "Sui Sui, I'm so happy to see that you're no longer being bullied by your mother-in-law. I haven't felt this good in a long time."

Suddenly, Yang Huirong's face darkened, and she said with concern, "But won't this affect your relationship with Yan Xun?"

As a mother, her biggest worry is her daughter's marital happiness. Although her mother-in-law was happy to have spoken out against her, she worried about the potential consequences.

In the end, it's her daughter who will suffer. Her daughter has sacrificed so much for Zhan Yanxun; it wouldn't be worth it if it damaged the relationship between the couple.

Jiang Qianhui knew her mother's worries.

In her previous life, before she became pregnant, her mother was subjected to Xie Qingyi's ridicule and sarcasm.

Jiang Qianhui felt that she was really unfilial, because for the sake of Zhan Yanxun, she caused her mother to suffer grievances with Xie Qingyi.

“Mom, you are my mother, and no one should make you suffer. Even if I can’t get pregnant, it’s not your fault, and it’s not her place to point fingers at you.”

"But what will happen to your marriage if you really can't have children? Mom has made an appointment with a very famous doctor for you. Mom will take you to see him tomorrow."

"Mom, I've actually figured it out. You can't force feelings. I used to think that if I became his wife, I could slowly make him fall in love with me. But now I realize that forced love is never sweet. I don't want it anymore."

Yang Huirong was startled when she heard her daughter's words.

"Sui Sui, what's wrong with you? Do you really want to divorce Zhan Yanxun? But I think he's been treating you very well lately. A man who gives his money to a woman without any restrictions shows he cares, and I think your efforts have already paid off. How can you give up now just because you don't have children?"

“Mom, you don’t understand Zhan Yanxun. He gave me this black card only because I am his wife in name. He’s always been generous. Even if his wife wasn’t me, but someone else, he wouldn’t mind if he maxed out the card.”

Yang Huirong frowned and said, "Sui Sui, Mom feels you're not as happy as you used to be. Before, even if Zhan Yanxun didn't respond to you, I felt you were full of enthusiasm. Now, Mom feels your eyes don't have the same light. You've become sentimental and stubborn. You say things like, 'No matter who his wife is, he doesn't mind maxing out his credit card,' but his wife is you now. He's only good to you, not to other women."

Jiang Qianhui knew that her mother could not accept that her good son-in-law was having an affair.

She silently pondered how to tell her mother, or perhaps give her a heads-up beforehand so she could be mentally prepared and avoid being too surprised or angry.

Yang Huirong seemed to sense something and said nervously, "Sui Sui, are you hiding something from me? Does Zhan Yanxun have another woman outside?"

"Mom, Zhan Yanxun and I are going to get a divorce eventually. I just want to give you some mental preparation."

Yang Huirong's face turned ashen upon hearing this. After all, her daughter's marriage to Zhan Yanxun was a very good one, and she was happy to see her daughter marry well.

Any mother would feel heartbroken to hear that her daughter's marriage is breaking down and she wants a divorce.

"Sui Sui, my chest feels so tight. Why did you want a divorce when everything was fine?"

Yang Huirong looked very unwell, and Jiang Qianhui quickly reached out to help her mother, but someone beat her to it.

Zhan Yanxun used the back of his hand to support Yang Huirong's wrist through her clothes.

"Mom, are you okay?"

When Yang Huirong saw Zhan Yanxun, her expression was complicated, yet also tinged with joy.

"Yanxun, it's you. What's going on between you and Suisui lately?"

"Mom, Sui Sui has been feeling irritable lately because she can't get pregnant. She really cares about having a child. She's in a bad mood lately, so just listen to what she says and don't take it too seriously."

Jiang Qianhui did not expect that Zhan Yanxun, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, would take the initiative to help her mother and even comfort her mother in a gentle manner.

But in his past life, he had caused her parents a terrible tragedy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qianhui quickly helped her mother up and told him to stay away from her.

"Mr. Zhan, I can support my mother myself, so please don't trouble yourself."

"Sui Sui, how could you talk to Yan Xun like that? Just because you're in a bad mood doesn't mean you can take it out on others."

Are you taking your bad mood out on others?

The fact that she didn't retaliate with a shot against the instigator shows that she's emotionally stable.

After reprimanding Jiang Qianhui, Yang Huirong turned to Zhan Yanxun and said kindly, "Yanxun, hearing you say that makes me feel much more at ease. I was just afraid you would dislike her."

Disdain? Is this really her mother?

Jiang Qianhui was speechless. But thinking about it, it seemed that the other person really did look down on her.

"She is my wife, and she always will be."

Zhan Yanxun's voice is very pleasant to hear, and that sentence struck a chord with the heart.

Jiang Qianhui felt a pang of sorrow. He had said that she would be his wife for the rest of her life.

He said the same thing in his previous life, but he broke his promise. He fell in love with Qiao Weiwei, and he killed her with his own hands. How could he still have the nerve to say those words?

Jiang Qianhui looked at Zhan Yanxun with hatred, but Yang Huirong was completely oblivious, still immersed in Zhan Yanxun's promise and very happy.

“Sui Sui, look how good Yan Xun is to you. He doesn’t care about those things at all. He’s a rare good man. I know you’ve suffered a lot for him, but he’s worth it. He’s worth your sacrifice. Only when you two are doing well can your father and I be at ease.”

Jiang Qianhui wished she could cut open Zhan Yanxun's chest right now to see if his heart was black or red. Did his heart beat faster when he lied?

But then she remembered that her mother almost had a heart attack when she heard her say she wanted a divorce.

She couldn't bear it anymore. As a mother, she hoped her daughter would have a happy marriage. Now that her own marriage had broken down, the one who would be the most heartbroken would be her mother.

Let's give her mother some more time to accept it.

"Mom, I bought some fine tea. I was planning to take it to Dad when I had time. But since you're here, you can take it back with you."

Zhan Yanxun gestured to the servant to fetch tea leaves.

Yang Huirong smiled kindly.

"Yanxun, thank you for your concern."

"I am the son-in-law of the Jiang family, so it is only right that I do this."

Zhan Yanxun was polite and a true gentleman.

As the saying goes, "A gentleman as handsome as jade, unparalleled in the world." With such exceptional looks, it's no wonder the mother-in-law grew increasingly fond of him.

Yang Huirong looked at Zhan Yanxun, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

Holding Zhan Yanxun's tea, he repeatedly told Jiang Qianhui before leaving that she should live a good life with Zhan Yanxun, that Zhan Yanxun was a very good person, and Jiang Qianhui almost got tired of hearing it.
