After a secret marriage, I became the biological mother of a rich and cute baby

The atmosphere was tense, and the mother and son were confronting each other and neither was willing to give in.

Madam Shi was worried that Yan Yi would tell everything if she continued, so she said helplessly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't teach Xiaoye well."

"Grandma!!" Shi Ye looked at Old Madam Shi with bloodshot eyes.

Old Madam Shi shook her head slightly, signaling Shi Ye not to go against Yan Yi anymore.

Gu Jinlan also tried to persuade Shi Ye, "Aye, if you have anything to say, please talk it over nicely. I'll go finish Ranran's puzzle. He's been waiting for it for a long time. I promised him that I can finish it in the next two days."

Gu Jinlan found an excuse to avoid it.

Previously, she had taken the initiative to meet Yan Yi, firstly out of courtesy as a junior, and secondly because she wanted to see if she could help Aye resolve the relationship with his parents.

Now it seemed that their relationship was more complicated than she had imagined.

She could also feel that her presence here would make it inconvenient for them to talk.

Shi Ye nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Lan Lan was next to him, there were many things he couldn't say directly to Yan Yi.

Gu Jinlan looked at Yan Yi again, with a polite smile on his face, "Ms. Yan, if you come back this time to enjoy family time, Aye and I will respect you well and fulfill our responsibilities as juniors. I also hope that you can be polite in front of grandma. Grandma has been in poor health in recent years, I hope you can understand."

Yan Yi was stunned for a moment.

Is Gu Jinlan teaching me how to be a good person?

But seeing that Gu Jinlan had a smile on his face and spoke neither arrogantly nor humbly, it was hard to find fault with him.

Without waiting for Yan Yi to react, Gu Jinlan turned around and went upstairs.

Shi Ye looked at Gu Jinlan's departing back with a frown on his face, feeling a dull pain in his heart.

If Lan Lan knew Yan Yi's identity, would she still say these words with a smile?

Yan Yi turned to look at Madam Shi and continued, "You finally admitted that you didn't teach Xiaoye well. If you hadn't been so cruel to break up our family of three, Xiaoye wouldn't have been so hostile to me."

Madam Shi said helplessly: "Yan Yi, let's talk it out in front of Xiao Ye today. I swear I have never said a bad word about you in front of Xiao Ye."

Yan Yi's eyes were filled with hatred: "But you broke us up and let Alice climb into Shi Mufan's bed when I was pregnant. This is a fact!"

Hearing this, Shi Ye looked at Old Madam Shi.

When in Country M, Yan Yi complained about her grandmother's faults in front of him.

At that time, he was unwilling to listen to Yan Yi's one-sided statement.

"I..." The old lady hesitated to speak.

Yan Yi said in an aggressive tone: "Don't you want to make it clear in front of Xiaoye? What? You don't dare to admit it now?"

Madam Shi sighed sadly, "Yes... I broke you up back then. It was my fault. But that was also because your family was involved in those illegal and dark activities. I don't want to see my Shi family's century-old foundation and fine heritage destroyed in the hands of you and your family! I just hope that my most beloved son can walk on the right path with an open mind. Am I wrong?"

Yan Yi stared at Madam Shi coldly, "I have no choice about my family, but didn't I promise you at the time that I would not get involved in the family business? Didn't I also promise that I could sever ties and contacts with the family for Mu Fan? Is it wrong for me to want to be with the man I love?"

“…” The old lady opened her mouth in silence and nodded in acknowledgement.

Tears welled up in Yan Yi's hateful eyes, "But you didn't even give me a chance!"

Madam Shi said sadly: "I admit that I was wrong to be prejudiced against you at the beginning, but when the incident with Alice happened, I really didn't know that you were pregnant. Now I have been punished. Because of you, I lost my son. Mu Fan has been by your side all these years to atone for his sins. Isn't that enough?"

Yan Yi sneered, "Isn't all this because of you? It's you who caused your son to end up like this!"

"So what do you want me to do now in order to let Xiaoye and Lanlan go? Do you want me to kneel down and apologize to you?"

After saying this, Madam Shi bent her knees and was about to kneel down.

Shi Ye quickly reached out to support Madam Shi, "Grandma, no!"

He turned and glared at Yan Yi, "That's enough."

Yan Yi pointed at Madam Shi and said, "Xiao Ye, didn't you hear everything? She was the one who broke us up! She was the one who forced me to leave you! Do you think I really wanted to leave you back then?"

Shi Ye was unmoved, his attitude remained cold and hard, "No matter why you left me in the first place, you wanted me to lose my memory and control me, which is not something a mother would do!"

Yan Yi explained: "That's because you insist on being with Gu Jinlan. If you stay with her, our family will never be reunited, and I don't want you to hate me because of her."

"Listen to what you are saying now." Shi Ye sneered, "You resent grandma for breaking up the couple, so what are you doing now? What's the difference between what grandma did back then?"

The faint tears in Yan Yi's eyes trembled.

She stared blankly with her eyes wide open, and glanced at the old lady.

Shi Ye's words suddenly enlightened her.

She actually became the person she hated the most?

"No..." Yan Yi shook her head, unwilling to admit the fact. "It's different. Back then, I had no grudges against the Shi family. I only wanted to stay with your father and raise our children. But Gu Jinlan must hate me to death. She won't let our family be reunited. She will take revenge! She will destroy you!"

She knew the personalities of those monsters too well.

"Shouldn't she hate you?" Shi Ye asked back, "How many people have you harmed by what you did?"

"You are wrong, Xiaoye. We are the ones who gave those people value. Without us, they would just be the walking dead abandoned by their families in mental hospitals, with no one caring about them. Is that..."

"That's enough!" Shi Ye interrupted, "I don't want to argue with you whether your actions are humane or not. Since you had your own reasons for leaving me, I won't blame you for it. However, I will never forgive you for any torture and pain you have inflicted on Lan Lan."

Shi Ye's short words made Yan Yi's mood go through great ups and downs.

At first, she thought Shi Ye understood her difficulties and helplessness back then, and finally stopped blaming her for not accompanying him to grow up.

Unexpectedly, for a woman, her son still hated her so much.

Shi Ye continued, "I don't want to pursue the past anymore. As long as you don't hurt Lan Lan and her friends anymore, everything can be written off. We can still be like before, not interacting with each other and living well."

"But if you still want to continue to hurt my wife, I will spare no effort to destroy everything you have."

This was the biggest concession he could make.

He just wanted to live a stable, peaceful and undisturbed life with Lan Lan in the future.

Madam Shi looked at Yan Yi expectantly, her tone almost pleading, "Can I?"
