Any other family… was not worth discussing.

As expected, Chi Yang was quickly whisked away by Lu Guangsheng. After Nuannuan used her superpowers to check on Shi Yalin’s location, she planned to go meet her.

Shi Yalin was in the villa’s Deputy Hall. Nuannuan initially planned to enter through the east gate, but as she was heading there, she was stopped by Lan Huifang and Zhou Ruxue.

“Nuannuan.”

Zhou Ruxue was holding up Lan Huifang as the two of them walked up to Nuannuan with smiles on their faces.

This felt completely different from the last time she met Zhou Ruxue, when she had given Nuannuan a few million yuan with a request to leave Chi Yang. This time, Zhou Ruxue looked at Nangong Nuannuan and smiled as gently as a spring breeze, the warm smile reflecting in her eyes.

It had to be admitted that Zhou Ruxue was really beautiful. Chi Yang had inherited both the Chi family’s good genes and his mother’s good looks.

However, Big Brother Chi Yang’s handsome face was so pleasing to Nuannuan’s eyes, so why did she not like Zhou Ruxue’s smiling face?

Nuannuan looked at Zhou Ruxue, who was smiling at her lovingly as if she had never thrown dirty money at her before. She smiled and replied politely, “Madam Pei, Young Madam Pei.”

Zhou Ruxue wanted to introduce Madam Pei to Nuannuan, but when she saw that Nuannuan not only knew who she was, but had addressed her as such, the smile on Zhou Ruxue’s face faded a little.

“Look at your face, child. Are you still thinking about the grudge from long ago?”

After saying that, Zhou Ruxue let go of Lan Huifang’s hand and walked toward Nuannuan. She reached out to hold Nuannuan’s hand, but Nuannuan dodged it.

Zhou Ruxue smiled helplessly. “That was my mom’s fault. Sigh, you know that Chi Yang has been separated from me since he was young. He always thought I had something to do with his father’s death. Nuannuan, you’re young and promising. You definitely wouldn’t be so short-sighted, right? Think about it. Chi Yang’s father sacrificed himself on the battlefield. I was still young then. Did I have to die with his father to be considered a good wife? Or do you think I should have stayed a widow for the rest of my life to be considered a good mother and good daughter-in-law of the Chi family? I merely married the young master of the Pei family after his father sacrificed himself. After that, Chi Yang no longer acknowledged me as his mother. That really hurt me.”

Seeing that Nangong Nuannuan was not saying anything, Zhou Ruxue thought that she was listening. Thus, she continued. “All these years, under Old Master’s pressure, I wasn’t able to get close to Chi Yang. He also hated me because of my new husband. But no matter what, he’s still my flesh-and-blood son. What mother in this world wouldn’t love her child?

“Nuannuan, I’m really sorry about what happened last time. You know that Yalin is my aunt’s daughter. Not only is she the daughter of the Shi family, but she’s also the cousin of the Pei family. She has always liked Chi Yang, and I’ve always wanted to do my best to find him a suitable girl. So I thought about introducing Yalin to him.

“Who would have been able to guess that before I could say anything to Chi Yang, he would announce his engagement? Even though I know his marriage was recognized by the military base, I’m still his biological mother. Do I not have a say in his life?”
