"Son, why on earth did you marry such a woman? She's hardly a match for Lan Xin Ai."
Mother Tang could barely contain her irritation whenever she laid eyes on Chu Mengyan.
"Yun Ze, listen to the nonsense your mom is spouting." Chu Mengyan could barely suppress the rage welling in her upon hearing, Lan Xin Ai, mentioned by Mother Tang.
All Tang Yun Ze could hear was incessant chirping from the two women. He swiftly cut through the noise with a resounding: "Enough!"
The two women sealed their lips, staring, surprised, as Tang Yun Ze retired first to the house then to the inner chamber.
It wasn't until the heavy thud of the door closing reverberated that the two women huffed and went their separate ways.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Come in."
Chu Meng Yan entered the room, carrying a bowl of chicken soup. "Yun Ze, you've worked hard today. Would you like some chicken soup?"
"I don't want any," Yun Ze replied without taking his eyes off his laptop.
