Chapter 272: Chapter 270 Please, I Beg You! _1

Su Wanxia actually did not want to be alone with Mu Yingchen’s mother, she did not believe her words were true, nor did she believe she would apologize or anything like that.

However, since Mu Yingchen had agreed, she felt that having a talk with her wouldn’t be a problem.

Su Wanxia stood up and followed Mu Yingchen’s mother to a teahouse on the second floor, where they sat across from each other, both expressions very calm.

After a while, Mu Yingchen’s mother finally spoke, "Wanxia--"

Su Wanxia looked up at her somewhat uncomfortably and was taken aback by the expression she saw; it was not the unreachable pride and haughtiness she had witnessed before, but a hint of helplessness and pleading?

Was she seeing things? Did she actually see a plea in Mu Yingchen’s mother’s eyes?

"What do you want to say to me?" Su Wanxia got straight to the point, knowing that Mu Yingchen’s mother had called her up here to say something, but it was definitely not going to be an apology.

But what Mu Yingchen’s mother did next left her utterly shocked, her body rigid as if struck by a bolt of lightning!

"I beg you! Let Shanshan stay with the Mu Family!"

Mu Yingchen’s mother suddenly stood up from her seat and then--she actually kneeled before her!!

Her expression was extremely sorrowful, looking at Su Wanxia with hopeful eyes.

"I know this is unfair to you, but--" Mu Yingchen’s mother closed her eyes in pain, but she really couldn’t let her son marry the daughter of the man who killed his father!

Every time she saw Su Wanxia’s face, all the past events would replay in her mind like a movie, with each scene tormenting her to the brink of madness!

Su Wanxia’s lips curled weakly as she followed on, "But--you just can’t bear to see me marry into the Mu Family and become your daughter-in-law, can you?"

"Yes!" Mu Yingchen’s mother’s expression was one of agony.

"You never considered letting me marry him, did you?" Su Wanxia’s expression was very wooden, she no longer knew whether to cry or laugh.

"Yes, if you let Shanshan stay with the Mu Family, then the grievances between our families can be completely wiped clean, alright?" The hope in Mu Yingchen’s mother’s eyes grew deeper.

Su Wanxia smiled miserably, "Mu Yingchen has a mother like you; I wonder if it’s a blessing or a misfortune?"

Mu Yingchen’s mother’s expression froze upon hearing her words.

"Time and again, you have made the woman he loves leave him; tell me, if he finds out, will he still acknowledge you as his mother?"

"Heh... He will acknowledge me; a person like him would definitely acknowledge, but maybe, that’s where the bond between you mother and son ends..."

"How can you be so selfish?"

Su Wanxia’s tone was even, yet it turned Mu Yingchen’s mother’s face even more despairingly sorrowful.

Suddenly standing up, to an even more astonished Mu Yingchen’s mother, Su Wanxia also kneeled before her with a cold expression and a voice full of despair.

"Then I also beg you--do not deprive me of my right to be a mother, and do not stop me from being with him anymore!"

Su Wanxia suddenly felt grateful that she hadn’t told them of Yaoyao’s existence, for if she had brought Yaoyao this time, it certainly would have led to the situation Manhui mentioned, a definite escalation to court!

She really didn’t expect that without the contract to bind her, Mu Yingchen’s mother would actually debase herself to kneel before her and beg, rather than let her marry Mu Yingchen!

Is hatred really that important?

In the grudge between love and family, it wasn’t just her father who had passed away, but also her mother!

Although she didn’t know what had transpired at that time and was less affected by it, both his grandfather and Old Master Mu had learned to let go, so why couldn’t she? Why must she cling to the resentments of the past!

Was it because her mother was the woman loved by Mu Yingchen’s father? Was that why she couldn’t persuade herself, couldn’t accept her?

"I admit, you are a great mother, but now, you are the most selfish mother in the world!" Su Wanxia said, looking steadily at Mother Mu, who was meeting her gaze.

Struck by Su Wanxia’s words, Mother Mu completely lost her composure and collapsed to the ground, looking at Su Wanxia before her in agony.

"They are both gone, turned to dust long ago, yet you insist on shouldering those painful memories, causing Mu Yingchen to suffer with you. He is your son! How can you bear it?"

At this moment, Su Wanxia was not defending herself; she was speaking up for Mu Yingchen.

Mu Yingchen respected and loved her so much, yet she continuously did such things behind his back that hurt him. He must be very sad, very upset. He surely hadn’t spoken to his mother in such a manner, had he?

Because he couldn’t bear to!

"How can I bear it?" Mother Mu looked stunned, as if Su Wanxia’s rather ordinary words were like a sharp sword that had deeply pierced the softest part of her heart—her maternal love!

A mother, a mother who loves her child, would definitely not bear to see her child in pain.

A great mother wouldn’t inflict her own suffering onto her child.

Looking at Mother Mu sitting on the ground somewhat disheveled, Su Wanxia didn’t say anything more.

She stood up and left a sentence behind: "I absolutely won’t leave Shanshan with the Mu Family..."

By the time Mother Mu regained her senses from Su Wanxia’s words, the latter had already disappeared. Mother Mu couldn’t help but stretch out her hands and clasp her head tightly, Su Wanxia’s words echoing nonstop in her mind—

If Su Wanxia had previously resented Mother Mu, then from the moment she stepped out of that teahouse, she began to feel sympathy for her.

As a woman who was forever trapped in her own hatred unable to escape, although she lived a life of luxury, she was not happy.

With a solemn face, she walked down to the lower floor. Seeing her, Mu Yingchen immediately stood up from the sofa and asked, "What’s wrong?"

As she looked at Mu Yingchen not far away, she sighed in her heart and felt a pang of tightness.

Ultimately, she didn’t respond to him and called out to Shanshan, who was happily playing with Old Master Mu, "Shanshan, it’s time to go home—"

Her words sent Mu Yingchen’s heart soaring into his throat. Had he been wrong? Had she and his mother not been heart-to-heart?

"Tell me what happened. Did my mom give you a hard time again?" Mu Yingchen walked up to her, lifting his hand to her shoulder with a look of anxiety on his face.

Su Wanxia lowered her eyelids, "Achen, your mother needs time, let’s wait a bit longer for our matter..."

She didn’t want to tell him that his proud mother, in order to make her leave him, had actually lowered her status to plead with her?

This was something she had never expected, truly beyond her surprise.

"Please, tell me what happened, okay?" Mu Yingchen’s expression was deeply conflicted. He had wanted them to open up and resolve their issues, but he hadn’t expected it to turn into this situation.

"You should go upstairs and see her—" After Su Wanxia said that, she sidestepped Mu Yingchen’s hand on her shoulder and walked over to the sofa, extending her hand to Shanshan: "Shanshan, let’s go home..."
