Chapter 1004: Chapter 426: The Daughter Cries, the Mother Comes

When she heard the word breakup, Jiang Xinyi’s eyes immediately turned red, but she had her own pride. She stubbornly asked, “Zhou Yuwen, what do you mean?”

Zhou Yuwen didn’t look at Jiang Xinyi. He restarted the car and, while driving, said, “Today has been bothering me enough already. If you really want to talk, talk properly. It doesn’t matter if we don’t talk about breaking up.”

“Su Qing and Yanyan are indeed in the past, but they know my parents. It’s rare for my parents to visit. What’s wrong with them coming to see, have a meal?”

“If you hadn’t secretly spoken to Su Qing and Yanyan today, would we be facing this situation?”

“So you’re blaming me!?”

At this moment, Jiang Xinyi was truly infuriated. She never thought Zhou Yuwen could say such things.

Zhou Yuwen said, “I’m not blaming you. I’m stating the facts.”

“I’ve gone out of my way to make you happy, but you? Holding onto every small thing, who doesn’t have a past? Didn’t you also date You Changjin? Did I ever mention anything about it? Su Qing and I loved each other once. We talked about marriage and divorce, but those were just jokes. So why did you call her my ex-wife? What, can’t I have a bit of a story?”

The situation with Su Qing today indeed left Jiang Xinyi feeling disturbed. Of course, what Zhou Yuwen said just now made her feel even more suffocated.

“Stop the car.”

Jiang Xinyi said lightly.

Zhou Yuwen said nothing and kept driving.

“I told you to stop the car!” Jiang Xinyi repeated.

Zhou Yuwen pulled over to the side of the road, his face also not looking good. He said, “I’ve told you before, I’m not a good man. If you can’t accept that there are many women around me, I don’t blame you. At least nothing has happened between us yet.”

At this point, Jiang Xinyi’s eyes were already brimming red, tears covering her cheeks, yet Zhou Yuwen didn’t lift his head even once.

Jiang Xinyi choked out, “So what you’re saying now is you want to break up with me?”

Zhou Yuwen was silent for a moment.

He said, “I didn’t say I want to break up. I just hope you consider our relationship carefully. Because when we got together, it was a bit rushed. I’ve told you long ago that we need to consider our relationship seriously, but suddenly your mom announced at the banquet that we were in a relationship. I was really stunned at the time.”

“Didn’t you feel stunned?” Zhou Yuwen tried to reason with Jiang Xinyi.

But Jiang Xinyi turned to ask Zhou Yuwen, “So you’re saying it’s my mom’s problem?”

Zhou Yuwen fell speechless, thinking he was reasoning with her, yet she brought up this.

Looking at Jiang Xinyi’s teary, pear blossom-like face.

Zhou Yuwen seemed to make a decision, “If that’s how you see it, there’s nothing I can do.”

This sentence made Jiang Xinyi feel suffocated. Was this still the Zhou Yuwen she knew?

In fact, watching Jiang Xinyi cry like this, Zhou Yuwen felt quite uncomfortable.

So Zhou Yuwen said, “Actually, you should have known long ago.”

“I could never be like Mr. You, wholly devoted to you.”

“I have my life, my career. Even though Su Qing and I broke up, and Yanyan too, they are still a part of me. I feel like rejecting them for you today is already a responsibility to you. If you say…”

“Don’t say it.”

Zhou Yuwen wanted to explain, but Jiang Xinyi stopped him with one sentence.

Later, when Zhou Yuwen brought Jiang Xinyi home, she had cried herself into a mess. Zhou Yuwen looked helpless, suggesting that they should talk things through with Liu Jing.

In response, Jiang Xinyi glared at Zhou Yuwen and gritted her teeth, “I’m not as fragile as you think!”

After saying that, she walked home alone!

Ever since, Zhou Yuwen felt like his matter with Jiang Xinyi had come to an end. Although there was some heaviness in his heart, there was also a sense of relief. To be honest, at this moment, Zhou Yuwen thought more of Su Qing than of Jiang Xinyi.

No matter how good Jiang Xinyi’s family was, she was ultimately just a passerby. Maybe there were some feelings, but how could they compare to two lifetimes of ties with Su Qing.

Su Qing’s decisive look when she left was something he had never seen before.

After driving home, his parents were waiting in the living room.

A large villa like this should be lively when there are more people. It felt cold and deserted with just Yang Lijuan and her husband.

Especially after the quarrel earlier, now it seemed particularly desolate.

Earlier, Yang Lijuan had left, missing most of what happened, but Zhou Guobin, who was smoking outside, knew the whole story.

Yang Lijuan couldn’t have imagined that several outstanding girls would have torn at each other for her son to this extent.

Su Qing’s crazed demeanor left a deep impression on Yang Lijuan.

Sitting in the living room for a while, Yang Lijuan couldn’t help but say, “Xiao Su is usually a good kid, but why is she sometimes so emotionally unstable?”

“Kids from inadequate families do tend to have some personality flaws, sigh.”

Zhou Guobin stayed silent, while Yang Lijuan continued her monologue. After a while, she added, “Xiao Jiang isn’t good enough either.”

“She’s six years older than Yuwen, and her family is so dominant. If she married Yuwen, we wouldn’t know if she’s marrying in or if Yuwen is marrying out. I certainly don’t want my son to suffer.”

Yang Lijuan rambled on, but Zhou Guobin didn’t say a word.
