When Xiao Ping said these words, the expression on her face was filled with anger. She also knew that Chen Ze had an indifferent and cold personality, and she had tolerated her son-in-law many times in the past.

She felt that as a mother-in-law, she was already very magnanimous as she did not cause much trouble. However, no matter how tolerant and gentle she was to Chen Ze, he was like a piece of cold iron that could not be warmed no matter what!

Xiao Ping naturally could see Chen Ze’s attitude, but these ‘small shortcomings’ could not completely cover the brilliance he had.

There was no doubt about his excellence. Not only did he become the Director of such a large department in Renxin Hospital at a young age, but he also had so many shiny titles and labels on him. He was so perfect that he did not seem like an ordinary person. Chen Ze was a famous young talent in the middle capital of City A!

Not only that, but he was also the Chen family’s only son in this generation.

The Wen family wasn’t a very wealthy family. In fact, they weren’t even considered to be wealthy. They opened a few restaurants in City A and earned their own money. They lived a modest life, which was fundamentally different from the rich and powerful families like the Chen family, who spent a lot of money.

It was no wonder that when Chen Ze and Wen Xi first announced their marriage, the media and the people in City A’s business circle were all confused. They only laughed at them without any good intentions and marveled at Wen Xi’s skills. She had helped the Wen family to hook up with an impressive husband!

There was no lack of people in this world who flattered the strong and stepped on the weak. The Wen couple had worked hard for their entire lives to get to where they were today, but they had not earned the respect of those people.

However, when the same thing was placed in this situation, it was a completely different story. Wen Xi’s marriage to Chen Ze was a great thing that made the Wen couple’s neighbors extremely envious!

Xiao Ping was beautiful, but her education was not high. Her knowledge and cultivation were limited. So, after some outsiders around her expressed their envy within a series of praises, she began to feel the benefits reaped from Wen Xi’s marriage into the Chen family.

She enjoyed the ‘bonus’ that Chen Ze brought to her, so she was subconsciously very tolerant of him. However, she clearly knew Wen Xi’s situation in the Chen family, and these facts were all reflected on Chen Ze’s indifferent face, which never hid this issue.

It was not that Xiao Ping did not understand the situation, but she was still lying to herself that her daughter was living happily in the Chen family’s residence.

However, the dignity people assumed Wen Xi had was ultimately superficial. Matters of the heart could not be forced, and Wen Xi and Chen Ze would break up sooner or later!

When Xiao Ping got up and was about to take her phone to call Chen Ze, Wen Xi grabbed her hand. The expression on her face was complicated and obscure, as if she was still thinking about something. Xiao Ping looked back at her before saying, “Why are you holding me? I’m just making a call to ask!”

As Xiao Ping spoke, her eyes were filled with suspicion. She frowned slightly and continued to ask, “You didn’t really do anything to let Chen Ze down, did you? Did he get so angry that he’s ignoring you to the point where he didn’t want to follow you home?”

Wen Xi was helpless after hearing this. She lowered her head and smiled sarcastically. Then, she looked up at Xiao Ping with a slightly forced smile.

She smiled and asked, “Mom, is Chen Ze really that important? Ever since I entered this room, have you asked a single question about me? Is Chen Ze already more important than me?”

“I’m clearly your daughter. Why is it that every time something is wrong, you’ll subconsciously blame me first? Does Chen Ze not make any mistakes? What kind of existence is he in your heart? Is he a high and mighty God? He’s not even a member of the Wen family, but an outsider. Mom, aren’t you placing the cart before the horse?”
