Chapter 171 - Weak And Naive
Lysa had tried so hard to arrange this meeting with Ning because she knew that convincing Yichan through Ning would be very easy but who would've thought that dealing with her was very difficult as well.
"I don't care what happened in the past and why you left. One cannot deny the fact that you are Yichan's biological mother which makes you my mother-in-law but since my husband doesn't want to regard you as his mother, I don't see a need to show you any kind of respect either. I don't why you wanted to meet me so desperately but if you are with the intention of asking me to convince my husband to stop doing what he is then I am sorry, I cannot help you with that."
Smiling at her, Ning continued, "Not because I can't, Yichan will do anything I ask him to but—" glancing at her nails, she added, "I don't want to."
"Ahh she obviously knows how doting Mo family men are," Turning towards Lysa, aunt Wenna added, "Right Lysa?"
Lysa pursed her lips and clenched her hand into a fist. Though she had left Yichan's father Mo Yihong, she would never deny the fact that he had genuinely showered her with all the love and care. He respected her and tried to make her feel special all the time. There were times when she didn't want to leave at all but she didn't love Yihong and she always wanted to be with her childhood sweetheart, Kailos.
"Of course I do but whatever happened has nothing to do with my husband and—"
"Can you smell something?" Scrunching her brows, aunt Wenna started sniffing.
"Smell what aunt?" Ning asked.
With her deep frown on her face, aunt Wenna kept on sniffing. "Something is stinking. "
Lysa frowned and started sniffing too but she could smell nothing. "I don't smell anything."
"Ahh then I guess it's just your filthy mouth." Aunt Wenna smirked.
"You—"
"Don't 'YOU' me inside my house. You are sitting here because I asked them to let you in and if I want, I can ask someone to throw you out too." Aunt Wenna sighed and helplessly shook her head, "Ahh you have no idea how tempted I am to throw you out and I will as soon as Ning is done talking to you."
Ignoring Aunt Wenna, Lysa decided to concentrate on Ning.
"I am already done talking aunt, you can ask someone to escort Ms Lysa out."
"But—"
Cutting Lysa off, Ning added, "Five years ago you forced me out of this mansion and questioned my character. You told me that I don't deserve any of this and I don't deserve your son. You see, I was naive back then, so I believed everything that you said but time did prove what I deserve and what I am capable of. You thought that I only wanted to leech of your son but now, we both have our own identity and we respect that. Though we both are one and we love each other, we are not dependent on each other. Yichan never looked down on me and I know he never will and that is what matters to me."
Pausing for a while, Ning added, "Maybe I was emotionally and mentally weak back then but now things are different so make sure that you stay far away from my husband. If I sense or find out that you are trying to harm him or you have any kind of ill intentions for him, I'll make sure that you regret making a move for the rest of your life."
"Someone escort Ms Lysa out of the mansion." Aunt Wenna said.
Tightening her grip on her purse, Lysa dashed out of the mansion.
"Mom, what kind of relationship did uncle Yihong and Ms Lysa share in the past?" Suyan curiously asked.
"Brother Yihong really loved her and treated her very well. Though it was an arranged marriage, he really tried very hard to make things up for Lysa. He used to take her out frequently for dates, vacations, long drives. Yichan definitely got all his romantic traits from his father." Aunt Wenna chuckled.
"He sounds like a really nice person," Ning smiled.
Aunt Wenna smiled and nodded her head. "Yes he is, he was a very responsible man with principles. He never liked leaving things midway and never ran away from any kind of problems that he encountered."
When Ning sighed and pursed her lips, Aunt Wenna chuckled, "You might be thinking that if he was so responsible, why did he leave Yichan behind and left home right?"
When Ning nodded her head, she added, "Love is very sweet and heartwarming but it is also the most trickiest thing. Falling in love with the right person brings out the best in you but falling in love with a wrong person brings out the worst in you." Pausing for a while, she continued, "And brother Yihong fell in love with the wrong person."
"I am not saying that leaving his son and family behind was a good decision or the situation called for it, he shouldn't have taken that decision but I also don't blame him or wish to accuse him. Maybe things would've been different if he decided to stay. Yichan would've been blessed with the parental love that he never got, father wouldn't have to work so hard and Dao would've had his older brother guiding him all the time. But we can't be selfish right? Maybe it was suffocating for him to stay and he didn't have the courage to accept the fact that the woman he loved for so many years, left him for some other man."
Keeping quiet for quite some time, Ning asked, "Do you know where he is and what he is doing?"
"Dao and I did run into brother Yihong last week when we were in the US. I think he heard about Yichan's marriage but he was very reluctant to ask about him so we told him that Yichan is doing fine. Dao did ask him to come back but he just patted his shoulder and left." Smiling at Ning, aunt Wenna added, "When you meet him, you'll feel like you are looking at your husband. Yichan looks exactly like his father."
