BXBX NOVEL Chapter 394 - I Have Nothing to Do with the Mo Family
A flash of irritation and uneasiness crossed her gaze and she knew that she wouldn’t be able to rest easy until this matter was settled.
Li Qin paused for a moment, as though she was taken aback, and pretended to cough twice.
Mo Yixuan poured his mother a cup of warm water and patted a back. Together, they were a picture of a kind mother and a filial son.
He looked at He Xiyan, his ex-wife, and his eyes were filled with a warmth that she had never seen before as he said, “Yan Yan, my mother and I have asked you out today hoping that you could return to live with us. We admit that we didn’t treat you well in the past and both yourself and Yuan Yuan have suffered because of it. We promise to treat you better in the future.”
Li Qin took a small sip of water, then said warmly, “Yan Yan, why don’t you come back with Yuan Yuan? I’m hoping that the four of us could reunite as a family.”
Both mother and son chimed in one after another and they were a picture of sincerity as though they had forgotten that the woman in front of them was no longer his wife nor her daughter-in-law.
Legally, they had no relation at all.
He Xiyan froze as though she had been struck by lightning and her eyes were full of confusion and shock while Qin Xiaoyu’s eyes widened and she looked at both mother and son as though they were aliens from space.
She didn’t understand how they could say such despicable words.
Qin Xiaoyu said incredulously, “Uh... do you guys have a mental illness? Sister He’s husband is now Mr. Ye and her mother-in-law is Madam Ye. Why are you insisting that the four of you are a family?” Then, she turned to He Xiyan and noticed that she turned extremely pale and was in a bad shape.
He Xiyan scoffed coldly. Their words were both laughable and exasperating. She didn’t even want to entertain them with a response. Didn’t they chase her out of the house because she was infertile in the past? And now that she had Yuan Yuan, they wanted to acknowledge her as family?
“Yan Yan...” Mo Yixan started when he noticed that He Xiyan was not responding and that her complexion had paled. He grew more anxious as time passed. All wanted to hear was that she still loved him and that she would return to his side for the sake of the child, so why did she look so unhappy even though both his mother and himself were working so hard to get her to come back?
He Xiyan said, “We had already gotten divorced some time ago. Mo Yixuan, I have nothing to do with the Mo family for the rest of my life anymore.” She looked at her ex-husband coldly and the love and warmth that used to be present were no longer reflected in her eyes.
She didn’t know what compelled them to say such things, or if they took it for granted that she would always be at their beck and call. Did they think that she would leave when they asked her to and come back when they told her to?
Li Qin coughed twice and sighed. She stopped trying to put on a friendly act and her face hardened.
“Fine!” SHe looked at her son and said angrily, “Yixuan, stop trying to persuade her nicely.” Then, she turned to He Xiyan and said, “We came today with good intentions, so don’t you dare try to bully us.”
Li Qin immediately reverted back to her old ways since she never had to lower herself to beg for favors in her life.
He Xiyan pointed at herself and she was completely baffled. When she ever bully them? They were the ones who kept bullying her and just earlier, they were still trying to pretend to be nice all because they wanted to take her son away from her.
Mo Yixuan tugged at his mother’s sleeve and shook his head at her, motioning for her to not run her mouth. It hadn’t been easy for them to find this window of opportunity to have a civil discussion with He Xiyan.
Li Qin shrugged her son’s arm off her forcefully and gripped the table hard as she rose to her feet. Then, she flung down a chopstick and said, “He Xiyan, let me spell this out clearly for you – we will definitely want Yuan Yuan back.”
