"You—"
Shang Wan looked as if she had died of anger, this damn brat, didn’t he realize she was giving him a way out, and yet he still talked back to her like that!
"Alright then, I see you really don’t see as your mother anymore, so don’t bla ..."
"Shang Wan, stop hitting him!" Li Zhenhua grabbed Shang Wan’s hand, "You’ll end up hurting our son!"
"He’s already broken, doesn’t acknowledge his mother, doesn’t want his family, what’s the use of having a son like that!" Shang Wan shook off Li Zhenhua’s hand, completely ignoring her loved ones in her rage.
"Enough, Aunt Li, isn’t this enough for you!" Nianyang took the opportunity, as Li Tingyan was weak from the pain, to pull away from his embrace and helped him up.
Shang Wan was taken aback by the scolding, then sneered, "What now? disciplining my son has nothing to do with you! Haven’t you always tried to please ? Now you’re finally showing your true colors, aren’t you! I knew you were just pretending!"
Nianyang, unable to bear it anymore, retorted, "Aunt Li, let make this clear, I have never tried to please you. I’m reckless by nature, never caring to please people. If it weren’t for the fact that I like Tingyan and you are his mother, do you think I’d care who you are?"
"You!" Shang Wan was speechless with anger.
Nianyang reached and grabbed the whip from her hand, throwing it to the ground, "And, Tingyan may be your son, but he’s also a man. Besides the blood in his veins being yours, his person and his heart are mine!
He’s mine, and you have no right to touch my man!"
"Are you trying to rebel? He is my son, how is he yours, do you think he’s so live-in son-in-law of yours!"
Nianyang pointed to Li Tingyan’s bleeding back, "Look for yourself, he’s your son, and you beat him as if you want him dead?
Just because of an outsider’s words, it’s never been that Tingyan doesn’t acknowledge you, it’s you who are forcing him not to.
Tingyan said you’ve never cared for him since he was a child, so I think, you have no right to decide his future for him!"
Shang Wan was initially defiant, but seeing Li Tingyan’s wretched back left her stupefied.
Nianyang said nothing more to her, guiding Li Tingyan upstairs, helping him to the sofa, taking out the first aid kit, and removing his shirt.
"Tingyan, does it hurt?!"
Nianyang was about to apply dicine to Li Tingyan, but seeing the bloody part of his back made her cry from heartache.
Li Tingyan touched Nianyang’s chin,
"Don’t worry, I’m fine, it’s nothing. I’ve been through worse during training!"
"Idiot, why didn’t you dodge?" Nianyang said while disinfecting him with spring water, then applied dicine and bandaged him.
Li Tingyan rubbed the red mark on Nianyang’s left hand and relaxed only after confirming it wasn’t serious, "She’s my mom, I’m her son, she has every right to discipline . But you, you took a whipping for no reason."
Nianyang’s eyes reddened, "Your mom went too far, you can’t beat soone that harshly, you already have so many injuries..."
"It’s okay, it’s okay, didn’t you just help vent my anger? I don’t feel any pain at all, feeling warm instead!"
Nianyang broke into a smile through her tears, "I just showed my true nature, so your mom probably has even more opinions about . Tingyan, we’re really pitiful, all we want is to be together, why is it so hard, why are there so many monsters and demons trying to stop us?"
Li Tingyan squinted, "This ti, it’s all Chu Huan’s doing. She knows my mom’s weaknesses, she’s easy to fool, and she looked into our past issues, giving her the opportunity to exploit them!"
