She smiled and said, "Hey, are you chasing Mom away?"
"Not really." Ye Fan's tone was cold, "Not mentioning that it is your request. It is natural for a son to fulfill your wishes."
After gritting her teeth, Jiang Hong said, "Well, a good-for-nothing daughter-in-law wants to force her mother-in-law away. Let's see who's right!"
She would never give up her good life here easily. Who would even return to that remote, deserted place in the countryside?
She had three kids. Her eldest son was terrible at school, so he could only stay in the countryside and rent some rice land. Money was wasted on her youngest daughter. Although a girl, she wanted to attend university. It had been months since she was seen.
She had to fight for her second son to get an army apartment because he became battalion commander. This would allow her to spend her retirement in the big city.
Jiang Hong quickly blamed Fan Xi for everything wrong to maintain her position. Fan Xi frowned at the unfair accusation. Ye Fan glanced at her as she prepared to defend herself. She stood up and hugged Ye Fan's baby silently.
Ye Fan released his hands and grabbed Jiang Hong, who was running away. "Mom, don't go crazy," he said. "Family issues should remain private. Do you understand this? You weren't asked to return to the countryside by Fan Xi. How will people view Fan Xi if you cause a scene? Her postpartum period continues."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Hong's voice was loud. Her words had already attracted a few people passing by their door. They looked at Jiang Hong and Ye Fan curiously.
"What's going on?"
"I'm not sure, but it sounds like the daughter-in-law is trying to kick out her mother-in-law."
"I cannot believe this is happening! This daughter-in-law is being so inconsiderate!"
Fan Xi teased the third baby, but it did not prevent the conversation outside from entering her ears.
This was really a hard time, where a few words could ruin someone. She was lucky to have a good attitude. She would probably cried then if she were a little more fragile.
Ye Fan's icy gaze swept away at this. Afraid that Ye Fan would find them and exact revenge, the few snoops shut up and pushed each other out the door.
Jiang Hong snorted sadly as the great opportunity passed. "I know that Fan Xi has three children for you, and you love them. Have you forgotten how good your relationship with Liu Yun is? This person is ruining it instantly. Ye Fan, I am honoring Liu Yun as my daughter-in-law. Liu Yun can also continue the Ye family legacy!"
"Mom!" Ye Fan couldn't help but roar in anger. His face was grim with dissatisfaction. He carefully glanced at Fan Xi but saw no sadness or sorrow on her face. He was actually a little disappointed.
He frowned and said to Jiang Hong, "I and Liu Yun are not meant to be together. Please don't bring this up again! Now Fan Xi is my wife, and I won't divorce her."
Fan Xi lowered her eyes and fluttered her lashes, making it impossible to guess what she thought.
Before negotiating with Ye Fan, she wanted to earn ten thousand yuan as soon as possible. She wondered how Liu Su's situation was.
The make-up she gave Liu Su yesterday was effortless. She would had to give the deposit back to her if the two families had not worked out.
Ye Fan heard a plastic bag rattling behind him after his words. He turned to see Liu Yun at the corner of the stairs. She appeared to have just gone up but had clearly focused on his words.
Ye Fan looked calm and at ease. He did not feel any sense of guilt. After all, the exact words had already been said to Liu Yun in the hospital.
Jiang Hong smiled at Liu Yun. One moment later, she faced Liu Yun. She asked, "Liu Yun, are you not going to work today? Why don't you visit if you're free? Ye Fan is going completely haywire. He divorces Fan Xi. Your long-standing relationship seems unbreakable. Stop worrying about what you have heard."
