Chapter 26 You Are My Mother Chapter 26 You Are My Mother I saw you together with an attractive man , and you have another mans scent on you . +5 Free Coins Lin Xue swiftly turned around , and stared straight at Hua Ranran who was lying on the bed , leaning against the headboard . Hua Ranran did not avert her gaze but instead welcomed it with her own , which subtly expressed her disappointment . Did you tell anyone ? Lin Xue asked . Her piercing glare was intimidating Hua Ranran . I did not . You are my mother so I would never tell anyone . Hua Ranran pushed Lin Xues hand away from her pajamas and disappointedly stroked the edge of her pajamas . She had merely taken a guess and had not actually seen anything . She only suspected something when her mother was acting weird after their conversation over a meal , and did not expect it to be true . You have grown up , so I do not need to keep the truth from you anymore . It was Hua Fan who failed me . He married Sun Jiayue behind back , abandoning me in my hometown . Even if he returned and told me he did it for his future prospects , I would never forgive him . While he lives with Sun Jiayue and her daughter in their big warm house , has he ever thought of us ? I have given him enough face by using his money prudently and not giving it to others . Lin Xue slowly sat down , her gaze unsteady , yet her voice revealed her long suppressed mix of emotions of gloom , anger and indignance . Did Daddy not treat you well all these years ? Hua Ranran sat down facing her mother . She did not realize her mother had such thoughts . Moreover she could not understand why , as her parents always looked happy . Treat me well ? I only want to have a better life , and not have you suffer anymore . I was first your fathers official girlfriend , but became the third party in the end and you became the illegitimate daughter . Although our reputation is still intact , it is still a thorn in my heart , always pricking me . How could I easily forget it ? Lin Xue turned around to caress her daughters face and gently said , I lowered my status for you . You must be careful when choosing a man . Dont go for someone like Luotian who is easily shaken nor pit yourself against Hua Shengan for him . There will be better men . Just think of protecting yourself and dont be concerned about other matters . Then are we supposed to let Hua Shengan continue to sow discord at home ? She said she saw you with another man . Is it alright to let Daddy know ? Hua Ranran looked at her mother helplessly . She did not want her to be chased out of the house or even get herself involved . She did not want to return to the slums they previously lived . Looking at her mother , she subconsciously blamed her . Lin Xue understood the emotions her daughter portrayed her gaze , and laughed . She unfolded the blanket and covered her . Looking at her straight in the eyes , she said in a serious tone , Dont worry , she would not stay happy forever . Wait till the whole Hua household belongs to you and theres no one to compete with you . You will be the sole heir of the Hua family . Stay at home patiently and dont stir up any problem . Understood ? Hua Ranrans eyes brimmed with excitement and hate . She did not think that her mother would harbor these thoughts . No wonder she did not admit her wrongdoings on the cruise , but only regretted and criticized herself for not being more decisive . She must have a plan ! I did not say anything , and you did not hear anything . Understood ? 1/3 ||| O Chapter 26 You Are My Mother +5 Free Coins Lin Xues fierce gaze warned her , and before she left she exhorted her to wait patiently and steer away from causing trouble , as the Hua family sole heir would be her . Meanwhile , at the hot springs , a man called out , Yu , Im here ! He had only a towel wrapped around his waist and sitting by the poolside , signaling towards the person at the door . His hair was wet and a few strands were stuck to his forehead . Although seemingly casual , he exhibited a sense of refinement . Chengjue , must you come so far for a bath ? I am busy at the hospital ! Jing Nanyu walked over in a bathrobe , and gave a knowing smile at the sight of the wine glass in Xiao Chengjues hand . He freely sat down by his side and poured himself a glass of wine . After drinking a sip of the wine , he looked at Xiao Chengjue silently . Why are you looking at me like this ? The hospital wont collapse without you . If I hadnt asked you out for a breather , you would have ended up in a mental institution by now . Xiao Chengjue raised his wine glass as a gesture , and lifted his head and downed the glass easily . He put down the glass as he stood up , pulled away his towel and strode into the pool . He then rested his head on the pool wall in silence . Jing Nanyu slightly frowned as he watched Xiao Chenjue . He filled up the empty wine glasses , held each in his hand , and moved towards him . Jing Nanyu said , My hospital is a rehabilitation hospital which offers psychological treatment and not a mental institution . How about I let you have a try ? The day when I no longer recognize you , will be the day you will be treating me as your patient , Xiao Chengjue replied , his eyes raised up , no longer looking at Jing Nanyu . As the hospital director , I dont simply offer to treat just anyone . Once you miss it , thats it . He subtly took a sip of his wine and scanned Xiao Chengjue who was ignoring him . You asked me here not to watch you in the pool , right ? I have a normal sexual preference . Jing Nanyu tried to draw him to talk and distract his focus as he saw how Xiao Chengjue was not paying him much attention and had spoken few words . He continued , Your mother called me yesterday to ask me if that starlet who just debuted was your girlfriend . I hadnt started to reply and she already said she would be on her way to meet her daughter in- law . You explain it to her yourself . Thats so silly , if whoever I am spotted with is her future daughter in law , then how is only one set of her family heirloom enough ? They already know that I would never have real emotions for these women , much less touch them , so why do they still believe these rumors ? Xiao Chengjue frowned with frustration . He turned to his side to reach for his wine glass and swirled it around as he looked gloomy , as though dark clouds were shrouding his eyes . You havent gotten over of your mysophobia ? I thought you drowned in a sea of women . Do you need me to teach you how to meet your physical needs ? Jing Nanyu joked . Xiao Chengjue ran his finger across the rim of the cup and gave a faint sigh . Yu , we are good friends and its rare to hear you talking about this . You are a true gentleman . I am fine . I just feel moody sometimes . I will feel better after a while . I dont talk about business , but if it is about life , you can always talk to me . Women cry and make a scene while talking about their issues . Us men dont usually relieve our emotions , but drown our sorrows with alcohol , Jing Nanyu said as he looked at the wine glass in Xiao Chengjues hand . O III O < 2/3 12:58 Wed , 12 Mar Chapter 26 You Are My Mother He had rarely seen Xiao Chengjue in this state and it worried him . 4.77 % +5 Free Coins I dont do both of those . I only want to relax for a bit . Dont start treating me as your patient . Its an occupational hazard ! Its peaceful here so dont ruin it with your talk . Pour the wine ! Xiao Chengjue replied .
