Ruan Xue was so angry that her face turned red and her chest tightened when she heard her daughter ask her to marry Ma Baomu instead.

“Ruan Qi, how can you say something so disrespectful?”Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs Noᴠᴇlꜰire.nᴇt

Ruan Qi let out a bitter laugh and looked straight into her mother’s eyes as she clarified her position, “I don’t need my man to be rich. I want him to love me and treat me well. The happiness I want is different from yours. So, stop imposing your standards on me.”

“We are mother and daughter, not slave and slave owner that I must do everything you say. I’m married. You can give me your blessings or curse me, but nothing will change the fact that I’m with him.”

Ruan Xue replied with disappointment, “Ruan Qi, you are such a fool. You’re too naive. If you insist on doing things your way now, you won’t be able to live as comfortably as others. You’ll feel resentful sooner or later.”

“Poor people would always have the odds stacked against them. You’ll definitely regret this!”

Ruan Qi sighed. Poor people would always have the odds stacked against them. Her mother wasn’t wrong, but she and Song Zhou were still young. They might not be able to earn millions or tens of millions of yuan despite their hard work, but they would have enough to feed and clothe themselves and live a happy life together!

‘This is the path I chose. I won’t regret it!”

Song Zhou looked at his wife and thought to himself that he could make millions, even tens of millions of yuan but he would really need to work hard for tens of billions of yuan.

Ruan Qi did not know what her husband was thinking. She said to Ruan Xue, “Mom, I brought my husband home today to meet you. We are also expecting a baby. Regardless of whether you’ll accept or acknowledge your grandchild, I’m giving birth to this baby.”

Ruan Xue looked at Ruan Qi’s belly in shock. Her daughter was already pregnant.

She pointed angrily at Song Zhou and wanted to call him a b*stard for knocking up her daughter but before she could say anything, Ruan Qi had stood between her and Song Zhou.

“Mom, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.”

Ruan Xue roared, “What do you mean by leaving? You chased away Ma Baomu. If this Ma Baomu comes looking for trouble with me, how am I supposed to handle it? If you still have a shred of humanity left in you, go apologize to Ma Baomu!”

“He humiliated my baby. Apologize to him? He’s not worthy!”

When Ruan Xue heard Song Zhou’s arrogant reply, she felt even more strongly that it was a disaster for her daughter to marry him.

Most mothers-in-law liked their sons-in-law more over time.

But in her family, Ruan Xue disliked her son-in-law more over time.

What right did a piece of trash have to consider another person unworthy?

Ruan Qi grabbed Song Zhou’s arm and turned to leave. Ruan Xue tried to stop them.

“Ruan Qi, you can’t be irresponsible. You’ve screwed up this time. How are you going to smooth things over?”

Ruan Qi furrowed her brows and said angrily, “You were the one who brought the man here for blind date with me. That man was rude to me. I’d teach him a lesson even if I’m not married.”

“I screwed up? You are the smart aleck who treated me as commodity and try to sell me off. Why should I smooth things over?”

“Are you defying me?”

Ruan Qi sneered. “What? I should obey you and jump into the fire pit?”

“You’ve long wanted to use me to get benefits for yourself. You weren’t the least bit concerned about me when you looked for me. You just wanted me to meet this random man.”

“Why did the heavens give me such a mother? Who will explain that to me?” Ruan Qi couldn’t control her emotions and cried as she continued, “Ms. Ruan Xue, I’ve hated you since you divorced my father in the name of giving me a better life.”

“I hate you for destroying my family. I hate you for taking me away when you never really care about me. I hate you for your cynicism, and I hate you for using my marriage as a leverage.”

“It’s not enough that you’ve ruined my father. You even want to ruin me. Don’t even think about it!”

Song Zhou heard her yell until her voice was hoarse and hugged her with heartache.

“Babe, don’t cry. The baby wouldn’t want you to be sad.”

Ruan Xue was stunned as she listened to her daughter shouting at the top of her lungs that she hated her. She didn’t know how to respond.

She thought that her daughter would be grateful that she gave her a better life.

Her eyes were bloodshot as she retorted, “Ruan Qi, I’ve finally seen the real you today. You’re just an ingrate!”

I didn’t spend enough time with you over the years because I had to take care of your brother. You are the elder sister. Aren’t you ashamed of fighting your younger brother for my attention?”

‘You said that I ruined your father. How can you blame me for that? It was his incompetence. He couldn’t make enough money to give me what I want.”

Ruan Qi stared at her mother in despair.

She couldn’t speak reason with her mother.

Tang Beibei was right. Adult children should keep a distance from their parents. If she didn’t have expectations, she wouldn’t be filled with resentment.

She didn’t want to say anything more and pulled Song Zhou away.

Ruan Xue tried to stop them again, but Song Zhou kicked the vase on the coffee table and shattered it. Ruan Xue was so frightened that she stood rooted to the spot.

After getting into the car, Song Zhou saw that Ruan Qi was still crying. He kissed her with heartache and sat with her in silence.

Ruan Qi had repressed her hatred for her mother for to long. She had finally released some of it. She didn’t need more words.

After Ruan Qi calmed down, she rubbed her eyes in embarrassment and asked,

“Do I look ugly when I cry?”

“No.”

Ruan Qi chuckled and glared at him coquettishly. “Can’t you say a few more words to make me happy?”

“Miss Ruan is a beauty. She’s always beautiful.”

Ruan Qi laughed. “That’s so perfunctory. Don’t say more. It’s annoying.”

Song Zhou kissed her lips. “I’m not trying to annoy you.”

“Ruan Qi, you’re the most precious thing in my heart. Whether you’re beautiful or ugly, you’re still precious.”

Ruan Qi blinked, and tears fell again.

“Trust me from now on. I will also trust you. Mr. Song, we may quarrel in future, contradict each other, feel our feelings fade, feel bored with each other, and even want to leave each other.”

“But at this moment, I’ll say with all sincerity that I don’t regret marrying you.”

Song Zhou was not used to her suddenly serious tone.

A person only has one heart, and it’s enough to have a person in my heart.”

He looked at her seriously. “Qiqi, if we quarrel, it’s because we’re

communicating. If we contradict each other, it’s because we have different opinions. I’ll always respect yours.”

“Our feelings fade over time because we’ve become family.”

“If we get bored with each other, it’s because times have changed but our lives

haven t. It’s impossible to determine whose fault it is.”

“As for leaving each other, never.”

“I have a family only when I have you. How can I not want my family?”

“Qiqi, I sincerely wanted to marry you. I want to be with you and discover the

joys of life and explore more interesting times.”

“I won’t only make you feel no regret for marrying me at this moment. I will

work hard so you won’t regret it for the rest of your life.”

Ruan Qi’s cried even harder when she heard this. She sniffled and said, “Song

Zhou, I really can’t take it when you’re so serious and profound.”

Song Zhou wiped away her tears. “You can’t choose your parents, but you’ve chosen a good husband. That’s not too bad.”

Ruan Qi laughed in amusement. “Are you comforting me or praising yourself?”

“Praising myself means praising you. You made a good choice.”

Ruan Qi could no longer cry. She sniffled and said, “I feel much more relaxed now that I’ve let out all the emotions that I’ve repressed for so long. We’ll see what happens in the future.”

Song Zhou started the car and the car started moving. He said, “You were travelling alone in the past but now you have me! I’ll bring you forward quickly!”

Ruan Qi watched the scenery outside the window danced backwards. His words were quite fitting..
