Chapter 269: A Gift of Love (3)

Wu Tong clutched her chest. This was not her thoughtful daughter who would support her in anything and everything.

Li Xingchen was a traitor who was stabbing her right through the heart with a knife.

“Li Xingchen, are you that supportive of Ye Tianxin?”

“You are wrong. I am supportive of my younger brother. I like any girl that my younger brother likes. Mom, come to your senses. Do you still think that we are living in the olden times when mothers have the right to object to a relationship? I will just say this: What you say will not have any sway over my younger brother. If you dare to object to their relationship, you will be a joke.”

Wu Tong felt as if her heart was going to explode.

What had she done wrong?

How dare her daughter come and give her a dressing down so early in the morning?

Ye Tianxin was obviously not worthy of her son.

Couldn’t she say a word if she felt that that girl was not worthy of her son?

Who had set these rules?

“Furthermore, it’s not like Tianxin doesn’t have any background at all. Old Madame Jing is Tianxin’s grandmother’s sister. Also, just take a look at the girls in our circle. How many girls are truly capable? They were all just reincarnated well and were born into good families. That’s why their starting point is way ahead of others. To tell the truth, don’t look down on unassuming youths. Do you know what kind of person Tianxin will become in the future? If you treat her well now, she will be grateful to you in the future and treat you well too. If you treat her otherwise, your son will have to go and coax her. Can you bear for your son to be stuck between a rock and a hard place?”

Li Xingchen felt that she was really going all out worrying for those two.

She was really trying her best to persuade Wu Tong.

“Xingchen, how could you be so calm? Your brother can definitely find someone better.”

“So what if there is a better girl out there? It’s not like you don’t know about that girl from the Yan family. She had always liked him, but what was his attitude toward her? Mom, you have to trust Qingcang’s choice.”

Wu Tong quickly retorted, “But I just can’t accept this.”

“Then you are an evil mother-in-law,” Li Xingchen spewed, unwilling to give in. “Mom, tell me the truth, are you really our mother? I think you treat Xinghe better than me.”

“I treat Xinghe well because I hope that he will treat you well,” Wu Tong answered and moved to hit Li Xingchen.

Li Xingchen dodged and said, “Then treat Tianxin well. If you treat Tianxin well, that’s treating your son well. Alright. I still have to get to work. Think about what I have just said and see whether it makes sense.”

Wu Tong watched as her daughter left, and she sighed.

Oh, she still had to swallow her pride and be nice to Ye Tianxin.

The thing was, her daughter was right.

Had she made a mistake last night because she had had a bit of wine and gotten melodramatic and protective of her son?

Li Qingcang, who was already in the car, did not know that his mother was feeling guilty just then.

He turned his head to look at Ye Tianxin while waiting for the lights to turn green. “What’s wrong with you today? Why do you keep looking at me?”

“That’s because you are really brilliant. I saw lots of awards and trophies in your room last night. How can you be so…so perfect?”

Li Qingcang stretched out his hand and patted Ye Tianxin’s head.

“You are the really brilliant one. You managed to become the national top scorer easily. Here, let me interview you. How do you feel about that?”

“I am happy.”

Ye Tianxin smiled so wide that it reached her eyes.

That was because she was one step closer to him.

“You’re just happy?”

Ye Tianxin nodded. “That’s right. I am happy.”

“Then you shouldn’t answer to Ye Tianxin since your name is Happy Ye.”

“If I had a younger sister, I would name her Happy Ye,” Ye Tianxin said. “If I had a younger brother, I would call him Pleased Ye? Or Arrogant Ye?”

“Cheerful Ye isn’t bad either.”
