Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Desperate Strategy to Show Filial Piety_1 Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Desperate Strategy to Show Filial Piety_1 He gently lifted his hand and pushed the door open. Mu’s mother heard the sound, blinked twice, then turned to the side, her back facing the door.

Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but let out a wry smile. It seemed that this time, he really had provoked his mother’s temper.

It looked as if today, he really wouldn’t be able to leave the Mu Family’s house!

He slowly stepped forward, walking gently towards the direction of the sickbed, then began somewhat awkwardly, “Mom, I’m sorry–”

Mu’s mother acted as if she hadn’t heard him at all, ignoring him completely, still with her back to him, not even looking.

Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but smile, “Mom, do you really intend to ignore your son forever?” he said, then stepped around to face Mu’s mother.

Mu’s mother suddenly closed her eyes, as if out of sight meant out of mind.

Mu Yingchen sighed softly, “Don’t you want to see your granddaughter too?”

Upon hearing these words, Mu’s mother suddenly opened her eyes, looking at him with eyes full of angry fire, “What do you want to threaten me with my granddaughter about now?”

“Mom!” Mu Yingchen looked helplessly at Mu’s mother.

“I just want you to be a little happier–”

Mu’s mother snorted coldly, “You just want yourself to be a little happier, right?”

Mu Yingchen looked at Mu’s mother helplessly, then took two steps forward, staring intently into her eyes as he said earnestly, “Mom, I’m your son, don’t you want me to be a little happier?”

That single sentence made Mu’s mother’s heart clench again.

“Destroying that contract wasn’t just for my happiness; I just wanted you to let go of the unhappy past. Let those sad, painful times be completely over. Keeping it all bottled up inside, the one who suffers and tires is yourself–”

“Get out!”

Mu’s mother suddenly spoke out coldly, as if she couldn’t hear a word Mu Yingchen was saying, as if she was convinced that Yingchen destroying the contract was for his and Su Wanxia’s happiness, just to make sure she couldn’t stand in their way anymore.

Mu Yingchen looked at Mu’s mother powerlessly, then suddenly, he bent his long legs and with a thud, knelt down in front of her bed.

“Mom–if you’re still mad at me, then I’ll kneel here until you’ve calmed down!”

Mu’s mother was immediately stunned by his action; her eyes widened in shock as she looked at her son kneeling resolutely in front of her bed, as if he would stay there until she forgave him, until her anger subsided.

Mu’s mother’s heart suddenly tightened, this was her own flesh and blood, she didn’t even have time to feel the pain, how could she let him torment himself like this?

But this time, he really had hurt her heart. He had defied her for that woman and even torn apart the contract she had carefully orchestrated, which was the most unacceptable thing for her.

She let out a sigh, “You go, go find your Su Wanxia. Don’t waste your time here with this useless old woman.”

This time, it was as if Mu Yingchen hadn’t heard her words, remaining motionlessly kneeling at the foot of her bed.

Mu’s mother, seeing he wasn’t speaking or standing up, let out an exasperated sigh. He was forcing her hand!

“If you want to kneel, then stay kneeling–” Then she turned her back on him again.

Ten minutes passed, then twenty, then an hour. Mu Yingchen still didn’t utter a sound, nor did he move from his kneeling position.

Now Mu’s mother really became anxious. The stiff expression on her face couldn’t be maintained any longer, and she suddenly sat up from the bed, grabbed the pillow and threw it at Mu Yingchen.

“You unfilial son! All you do is pressure your own mother!”

Mu Yingchen didn’t dodge, allowing the pillow to fall from his handsome face to the ground.

Although he was struck with the pillow by Mu’s mother, he kept a calm expression, but inside, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. At least she was giving him attention now.

Mu’s mother watched her precious son still kneeling in place, not dodging and taking her slap. Even though she knew it didn’t hurt, she couldn’t help but feel distressed for a moment, especially since he had been kneeling for such a long time.

Her son, put simply, was incredibly stubborn!

Seeing Mu Yingchen still unmoved, not planning to get up, Mu’s mother immediately straightened her face and said sternly, “Get up now!”

Mu Yingchen lifted his eyelids slightly and asked his mother, “Are you no longer angry?”

Conflict spread across Mu’s mother’s face. Even though she felt anger inside, she forced out an affirmative grunt.

But Mu Yingchen, oblivious to the gravity of the situation, continued, “Does that mean you forgive me?” If she forgave him, then it would mean she no longer pursued the matter of the contract, and without the contract, his Wanwan would be able to be with him without any pressure.

Mu’s mother’s expression changed again and again, ultimately she couldn’t bear to see her own son continue to kneel on the ground and, with great reluctance, nodded her head: “Hmm.”

Mu Yingchen immediately showed a look of joy, reached for the edge of the bed, and moved his stiff and numb legs.

He moved slightly and immediately winced uncomfortably.

Seeing his condition, Mu’s mother quickly got off the bed and helped him up.

Not to mention, kneeling for over an hour was quite taxing. He had been kneeling on the floor in all seriousness, without anything cushioning him–

“I told you not to kneel, and yet you insisted on doing so. You’re just tormenting yourself to make me worry, you scamp!”

While letting him sit by the bed, Mu’s mother started to pull up his pant leg to check.

Mu Yingchen suddenly reached out to stop her action, “Mom, it’s nothing, it’s just a lack of circulation from standing up. I’ll be fine after sitting for a while.”

“Move aside, let me have a look,” Mu’s mother insisted, not heeding his words and pulling up the pant leg anyway.

Mu Yingchen had no choice but to let go.

She saw that both knees were covered in bruises, and Mu’s mother’s eyes reddened with heartache as she berated, “Do you enjoy making me worry like this?”

She felt like her son was born to torment her!

Mu Yingchen curled the corners of his mouth, “You’re my mom. If you don’t worry about me, who will–”

“I don’t worry about you; I worry about my granddaughter!”

“Alright, alright, worrying about your granddaughter is the same as worrying about me.”

“Grandma, are you okay now?”

As they say, speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Mu’s mother still felt upset, but the sight of her little granddaughter made it impossible for the anger to persist.

For some reason, although she couldn’t accept Su Wanxia, she could accept the child of Su Wanxia and her son. Initially, she also found it odd.

Later, she thought, it must be because of the unbreakable bond of blood that made her instantly fond of her little granddaughter every time she saw her.

“Come here, Shanshan. Let Grandma hold you.”

“Grandma, why don’t you hold Shanshan after you’re feeling better.”

Shanshan spoke tactfully and cutely, which delighted Mu’s mother.

“See how considerate my granddaughter is? Shanshan, you’re much better behaved than your father–”

Mu Yingchen, sitting at the side of the bed, was caught between laughter and tears. Why did everyone speak like this? Was he really going to compete with his own daughter over who was more well-mannered?
