“Mm, I also believe that everyone makes mistakes. So, when she asked me to forgive her, I did. But once I forgave her, she immediately asked me to call her ‘Mom’. She said that I was Big Brother Chi Yang’s fiance, so since Big Brother Chi Yang was her son, I should call her Mom.”

With that sentence, the old man’s temper, which had only just mildly subsided, immediately rose again. Now, his rage was even more intense than before.

Madam Pei, “…!!!”

“Nuannuan, when that woman betrayed Chi Yang, I publicly announced that I was severing ties with the Pei family. At that time, you weren’t around, so you wouldn’t know about this. Now, in front of all these people, Grandpa is solemnly telling you that the Chi family and Pei family have no ties at all. Chi Yang also broke off his mother-son relationship with Young Madam Pei 17 years ago. Therefore, no one in this world can be considered to be your mother-in-law. Do you understand?”

Nuannuan smiled and leaned into Old Master Chi’s embrace. She nuzzled her head against his shoulder and said endearingly, “Yes, Nuannuan only has Grandpa, Second Uncle, and Big Brother Chi Yang. That’s why when Young Madam Pei asked me to call her Mom, I refused. I won’t let her take advantage of me! Grandfather, when I was abroad, people said that it was difficult to be a daughter-in-law in Camino because most of the time, mothers-in-law were not very accommodating. I’m so happy that Big Brother Chi Yang doesn’t have a mother. This way, there’s no evil mother-in-law who will try to control me.”

“Hahahaha…” The old man’s depressed mood was lifted as he witnessed Nuannuan’s malice disguised by her cute mannerisms. He could not help but laugh out loud. As he laughed, he touched Nuannuan’s head and praised, “My Nuannuan is the most obedient! Grandpa loves her most!”

Beside them, Madam Pei’s fury grew even more intense.

Shi Gen, “…” He watched helplessly as this she-devil transformed into a little white rabbit and started behaving coquettishly.

Zhou Ruxue, who happened to be walking past the entrance of the front hall alongside Pei Jitong, wanted to enter and take the opportunity to talk to Chi Yang.

Zhou Ruxue’s heart ached terribly due to her husband’s difficulty in moving. She initially wanted to go to the front hall whilst there were still many people there in an attempt to repair her mother-son relationship with Chi Yang and convince him to help her. However, before she had even walked through the door, she heard Nuannuan’s words—making her stop dead in her tracks.

Zhou Ruxue was almost angered to death by her words.

What did she mean by being glad that Big Brother Chi Yang did not have a mother, so that way, she would not have an evil mother-in-law to control her?

Chi Yang did not have a mother?

She was an evil mother-in-law?

The natural relationship she and Nangong Nuannuan should have had should not be reversed, right?

Right now, it was clearly the mother-in-law who was begging the daughter-in-law for approval. As long as she could do well, the Pei Corporation would be able to thrive.

How dare she offend her mother-in-law?

Pei Jitong, who was listening from the side, took Zhou Ruxue away the moment he heard this.

Nangong Nuannuan glanced in the direction they had just been standing, her gaze cold.

Sensing that someone was looking at her, Nangong Nuannuan swept had her gaze over. Shi Gan was so scared that he quickly retracted his gaze, his heart beating rapidly.

He had seen Nangong Nuannuan’s gaze.

It looked terrifying!

Zhou Ruxue, who was being taken away from the situation by Pei Jitong, could not help but cry in her husband’s arms.

“I’m sorry, Jitong, I’m sorry! I’m useless! Chi Yang hates me, so even his fiancée doesn’t take me, her mother-in-law, seriously. You’re so busy and tired, but I can’t help you at all. I’m sorry… Sob sob sob…”
