Chapter 76: Come Home With Mom

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This was the apartment that Xu Yuning had prepared for Zhang Meng previously. The reason why he hid here was to avoid his mother.

When Mrs. Xu entered, Xu Yuning was sitting on the carpet and drinking alone. There were beer bottles scattered everywhere on the ground and a few side dishes on the table. It was not difficult to tell that he looked terrible.

“Yuning, you’ve just recovered. I low can you drink?”

Seeing that his mother had still come looking for him, Xu Yuning did not say anything and only lowered his eyes. He had already guessed it, but he felt very annoyed. He had never felt so annoyed before.

“Yuning, are you angry with Mom now because of a woman who has nothing to do with you? Didn’t Mom do all this for you? If I wasn’t afraid that that woman would spout nonsense outside…”

This sentence ignited Xu Yuning. He smashed the wine bottle into pieces and roared with his eyes wide open, “For my own good? Look at what you did. Is it not embarrassing enough!”

“I just can’t stand how she treats you. I didn’t expect her to be so scheming and even secretly record it. Which normal person would record it at that time? Unless she had already thought of keeping the recording to take revenge on you. Don’t you think such a woman is terrifying?”

“I think you’re the scary one! From the beginning to the end, Youyi didn’t do anything to let me down. I was the one who let her down. Not only did she return all the betrothal gifts, but she never said a word against me in front of outsiders. What about you? You actually have the cheek to go on the show. Don’t you think your son is embarrassing enough? Do you know how the people outside are scolding me now?”

“Aren’t 1 just being kind? I’m just afraid that you’ll be bullied. Is that wrong?”

“Mom, I’m already an adult. I’m not a child who needs my parents’ help to deal with everything. Can you not decide everything for me based on your own wishes? My father is your husband, so he gives in to you and indulges you in every aspect. But I have to have my own life too. I can’t live under your wings forever and be a useless person, right? Do you want a son like this?”

Mrs. Xu was silent for a moment. “Alright, I admit that I was rash in this matter. But Jiang Youyi has also taken revenge. Now, the netizens are all scolding me. Isn’t this all her doing?”

Xu Yuning frowned. “So you still don’t think you’re in the wrong? If you hadn’t been too ruthless, would things have ended up like this?”

“Are you my son or not? Why are you siding with an outsider after such a big thing happened? What did that vixen do to you?” Mrs. Xu was furious. Now, when she heard the words Jiang Youyi, her head hurt.

“Yuning.” Zhang Meng squatted down and tugged at Xu Yuning’s sleeve. “Stop talking. It’s not easy for Auntie either. She’s already so old, but she still has to be scolded by those brainless netizens. She’s really under a lot of pressure. Don’t be angry with her. Only you can comfort her now.”

Zhang Meng’s tone was gentle and understanding. Xu Yuning did not respond, but his gradually relaxed brows showed that he had indeed listened to these words. Mrs. Xu sized up Zhang Meng without batting an eyelid. It seemed that she had underestimated her in the past. She was still quite capable.

“Yuning, come home with Mom. Your father has been in a terrible fix because of you recently. Your sister is also very worried about you. It’s all in the past. Mom promises you that I won’t make decisions for you in the future, okay?”

Seeing that Xu Yuning did not say anything for a long time, Mrs. Xu glanced at Zhang Meng. Her meaning was obvious. She wanted her to help persuade her.

Zhang Meng sat on the ground and gently held Xu Yuning’s hand. “Yuning, ever since you fell sick, the chairman has been the only one working in the company. He has been handling the workload of the two of you alone. He must be exhausted after so many days. Go home and see him. There’s no overnight feud between the family. Moreover, even if Madam did something wrong on impulse this time, the chairman would not know.”

Zhang Meng’s words were very skillful and could always make people feel comfortable.

“How’s my dad recently?” Xu Yuning finally spoke.

Mrs. Xu shed two drops of tears at the right time. “He’s fine. He was just worried about you.”

“Alright, don’t cry anymore. Let this matter pass.”

“Then come home with me, okay?” In Mrs. Xu’s eyes, no matter how old the child was, he was her favorite.

“Yes, I’ll go back and see Dad.” Zhang Meng’s words indeed made him feel guilty towards his family. During the period when he was sick, not only was his family afraid, but his biological father also had to help him deal with the company’s matters..
