The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-27

Chapter 27: Your Mother Isn’t That Liberal

Chu Ningyi ended the call and Shui Moyun’s expression was now even darker than his wife’s. If Shui Anjiao’s face had not swelled up like a pig’s, she would probably have a dark expression too. However, all that could be seen on her face was red, nothing black about it at all.

“This kid, Chu Ningyi, has crossed the line.”

“It’s all that sl*t, Shui Anluo’s…”

Before Shui Anjiao could finish her sentence, An Jiahui reached out and slapped her, a hint that she should shut her mouth.

“Moyun, let’s just leave this matter be. Perhaps Luoluo still hates you for chasing her and her mother out. As long as Anjiao doesn’t seek them out in the future, everything will be fine,” An Jiahui said aggrievedly.

“No, we can’t just let this matter rest,” said Shui Moyun before he rose to his feet and walked out. It was likely that he has gone to look for Chu Ningyi.

“Mum, why didn’t you let me…”

“Jiaojiao, let me tell you this, the more grief a woman displays, the more that man will feel heartache. This way, he’ll be more inclined to demand justice for you.” An Jiahui spoke complacently. “You just need to wait for your father to deal with that sl*tty mother and daughter.”

Shui Anjiao had initially grown resentful from her anger but when she heard what her mother had said, an ugly smile formed on her injury-riddled face.

Shui Anluo followed Chu Ningyi home. Due to the condition of her health, the little darling was temporarily placed under Uncle Chu’s care while she recuperated.

After Shui Anluo returned to her room, she anxiously wanted to discuss the matter of her returning home but she was afraid that she would incur the wrath of Chu Ningyi’s venomous tongue if she spoke up. She did not want to experience being compared to a dog again.

Chu Ningyi noticed Shui Anluo’s anxious state but he pretended not to know about it.

“Have a good rest.” Chu Ningyi made to leave after he said this.

“Chu…”

“What is it?” Chu Ningyi was at the doorway as he turned around to look at the person who had leaned against the bed before she could finish speaking.

Shui Anluo’s emotional state was experiencing various twists and turns. Ultimately, she shut her mouth and smiled at him, “It’s nothing, nothing.” F*ck it, she did not want to be hit by that venomous tongue. She was now, at most, her son’s mother and nanny. She was no better off than Shui Anjiao.

Chu Ningyi stared at her blankly before he turned to leave the room.

Shui Anluo exhaled. Her phone had been taken away and she could not contact her mother. This man also refused to let her go out. What was the difference between her days in this place and prison?

After Chu Ningyi left, the little darling obediently played with his toy car in his cot while Uncle Chu kept an eye on him from the side. When he saw Chu Ningyi, he said, “The Little Master is exactly like you, Young Master, when you were a child.”

Chu Ningyi lowered his head and the little darling happened to raise his head. His grinning little mouth looked a little bit silly. This drooling little thing. Chu Ningyi believed that he certainly never drooled when he was a child.

Chu Ningyi reached out and stroked his son’s little head. The little darling smiled as he stared at his daddy before he continued to play with his toy. However, perhaps he had been sitting there for far too long, the little darling flopped over and lay down on the small cot.

“I’m going to go out for a while. Don’t open the door for anyone, including the Madam.” Chu Ningyi said as he grabbed the car keys and left.

Uncle Chu was full of curiosity. ‘ Aren’t the Madam and the Chairman still on holiday in the United States?’

However, someone appeared at the door during nightfall. To Uncle Chu, it went without mention that it was a great loss for the world that his young master had never ventured into fortune-telling.

Since the young master had left explicit instructions not to open the door, he pretended not to hear a thing.

The doorbell continued to ring ceaselessly and Shui Anluo could not take it any longer. She woke up, rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened her room’s door. “Who is it?”

“Miss Shui, it’s nothing, you should get some rest.” Uncle Chu stopped Shui Anluo and smiled as he spoke.

Shui Anluo was curious. “Who is it?”

“The Madam.” Uncle Chu did not keep anything from her.

“Oh, then I’m going back to bed.” Shui Anluo promptly turned around and headed back to bed.

‘Why should I have to face Chu Ningyi’s mother?’

‘What a joke, I’m not sick of living. In the past, I had no choice but to face her but am I even related to Chu Ningyi’s mother now?’

The answer to that was no!

Since she was not related to this woman, there was no need for her to open the door. This was not her house anyway.

Once she rationalized it that way, Shui Anluo’s action returning to bed made a lot more sense.

Uncle Chu was shaken as he did not think that Shui Anluo would have gone back in so easily without any second thoughts.

The unwanted visitor outside the door stood there for a while. However, when she saw that no one would open the door, she finally left the place. Her son had refused to give her a key to his house and she had been too lazy to care. However, her son has now brought a woman of unknown origins back home and she could not accept this.

He Xiaoran went back to the car. She saw her husband who was resting his eyes in the car and released the fiery rage in her heart.

“What’s your son trying to do? He won’t even open the door! What time is it? Can it be that he’s still at work? I think Shui Anluo is preventing him from opening the door.”

“Read this first.” Chu Mobai kept his eyes shut as he threw the newspaper in his hands to his wife.

“What?” He Xiaoran unfolded the newspaper curiously. However, she was soon stunned. “T-this…” Her son had gotten together with a man and it was An Fengyang!

Chu Mobai opened his eyes this time to look at his wife. “Would you prefer having a girl as a daughter-in-law or a man? You can think about that on your own.”

He Xiaoran’s expression was now even uglier than someone who had just swallowed a fly. She was concerned about Shui Anluo’s background but if she allowed her son to be with a man, that was no longer a question of anyone’s background.

He Xiaoran could not accept this shock and immediately whipped out her phone to quickly dial a number.

Chu Ningyi was on the way home but the phone call arrived before he could enter the neighborhood.

“Mother…”

“Are you trying to anger your mother to death? What’s the meaning of this announcement in the papers? Are you home?” He Xiaoran scolded angrily.

“You… Are you really with…”

“I’m still thinking it over, Fengyang and I have a mutual attraction and agreement. However, Luoluo has given me a child so I have to grant her a status,” replied Chu Ningyi calmly.

“Chu Ningyi, let me tell you this, I’d rather you be with Shui Anluo, don’t you dare think about changing my mind with An Fengyang.” He Xiaoran retorted angrily. “Your mother isn’t that liberal.”

Chu Ningyi started the car and drove into the neighborhood. When he saw his parent’s car from a short distance away, he curled his lips and asked, “Are you back in the country, Mother?”

“Quit talking rubbish with me. Did you hear what I just said?”

“I heard you. You want me to be with Shui Anluo and not An Fengyang, correct? However, Mother, don’t you think that An Fengyang is better looking than Shui Anluo?” asked Chu Ningyi as his car arrived and stopped next to his parent’s car.
