“They are my parents, and I should be kind to them, but filial piety has a limit, just like anything else; if that limit is surpassed, it’s stupidity, and Linlang, what has she ever done but love me?”
Li Hang replied, “I know, you’re still mad that my mother treated Tianxin badly.”
“No, I’m not just mad at your mother, I’m also mad at you, Li Hang,” Xie Xuning’s eyes scrutinized Li Hang’s face sharply. But I won’t blame your mistakes on Li Qingcang. I understand why you don’t like Tianxin. I don’t think my daughter is so beautiful that everyone has to love her. Each person is entitled to their own opinion, and I’m not so stupid as you are.”
Li Hang clenched his teeth and asked, “Are you saying I have no brain?”
“Exactly, you wouldn’t be so mindlessly obedient if you had a brain, and you wouldn’t do such a dumb thing if you had a brain.”
!!
And Li Hang has done a lot of dumb things in his life.
He did nothing to stop the old witch from sticking those needles into Xingchen’s body back then.
Li Hang was furious when he heard what Xie Xuning had stated. “What do you mean?” he said, “You claim I don’t have a brain, so how do you know I don’t have a brain? Give me an example.”
“Why do you believe your mother dared to abuse Wu Tong like way?” Xie Xuning added, “Because as Wu Tong’s husband, you didn’t defend your wife even from the start, giving your mother the erroneous impression that she could intimidate Wu Tong whatever she pleased.”
Li Hang said defensively, “But, that’s my mother! I can’t possibly be an ungrateful son because of Wu Tong, can I?”
“Haha!” Xie Xuning sneered, “That’s why I said you had no brain, a man with a brain would never allow his mother to mistreat his own daughter.”
“That was an accident!” Li Hang continued to defend himself.
His mother was an old-fashioned woman.
She was adamant in her belief that males were superior to women.
She simply believed that having a male would be preferable to having a daughter.
But she had pletely forgotten that she was also a woman.
“No, it was not an accident,” Xie Xuning’s voice was cold and indifferent. “If you really love Xingchen like she was the pearl in your palm, your mother would never dare to touch a hair on her head. Li Hang, forget about reconciling with Wu Tong. I think it’s good for Wu Tong to be single right now, so don’t you bother Wu Tong and disturb her life.”
Li Hang instantly recognized that whatever Xie Xuning had said up to this point had been to encourage him not to interfere with Wu Tong’s single life.
“Don’t keep the happiness for yourself, Xie Xuning; you have no clue how other people feel who aren’t as fortunate as you.”
The more enraged Li Hang became, the brighter Xie Xuning grinned.
He was in such a fantastic mood that he couldn’t care less about these trivial matters with Li Hang.
“Anyway, Li Hang, you deserve to be like this now. You did it to yourself.”
Li Hang was so upset that he could only glare at Xie Xuning.
However, what else could he do?
At his age, he couldn’t very well pick a fight with Xie Xuning, could he?
Fighting or anything like that was not appropriate for his position.
More significantly, given his physical state, if he were to face Xie Xuning, he would undoubtedly be the punching bag.
“Forget it; I’m no longer talking to you.”
Li Hang felt powerless and alienated since he couldn’t counter Xie Xuning’s reasoning.
He originally thought that if he ever wanted to reconcile, he would get the support and help he needed.
He had not anticipated, however, that his father, son, and friends would all oppose him reuniting with Wu Tong. He felt that he had failed as a human being as a result of this.
