Chapter 273: Chapter 271 Young People, Right_1

Mu Yingchen couldn’t stand Su Wanxia’s words "Let’s go back" any longer. He furrowed his brows tightly, strode forward two big steps, and took Su Wanxia’s hand, heading upstairs as he pulled her towards the hand Shanshan was extending.

Su Wanxia wanted to struggle, but Mu Yingchen gripped her wrist tightly, giving her no chance to break free.

Seeing that her daddy and mummy were not in a good state, Shanshan frowned with a pitiful pout. Then she turned her little head to ask Mu Family’s patriarch who had just stood up behind her, her voice already bearing a hint of crying.

"Great Grandpa, what’s wrong with daddy and mummy?" Although she was young, she could tell that they seemed to be having an argument.

The patriarch chuckled softly, comforting her, "Young people, some bickering is very normal. You wait and see, when they come down later, they won’t be like this right now."

"Really?" Shanshan was somewhat skeptical.

"Really, your great grandpa guarantees you." The patriarch was decisive, but in his heart, he felt uneasy. He had full confidence in that boy; if they didn’t sort things out with that girl by the time they came down, he, as a grandfather, would feel embarrassed!

Shanshan, reassured by the patriarch’s affirmation, finally relaxed her frowning little face.

"So, do we wait for them here?" In fact, she wanted to go upstairs and see for herself.

The patriarch hesitated in place for a while after hearing Shanshan’s words, but ultimately he let out a slight sigh.

"Let’s just wait here for them; they will be down soon."

"Okay, then." Shanshan had no choice but to wait in the living room with the patriarch for the people upstairs.

Mu Yingchen led Su Wanxia to the second floor, first glancing into the study, only to find no sight of his mother. Then he continued, pulling the silent yet reluctant Su Wanxia toward the Tea Room.

Actually, when Mu Yingchen pulled her in the opposite direction of the Tea Room, Su Wanxia wanted to speak up and remind him, but upon thinking of how forcefully he had brought her up, she decided to simply stay quiet and let him search on his own.

Upon reaching the Tea Room door, Mu Yingchen immediately stopped with Su Wanxia, because his mother was still sitting on the floor in a disheveled state, her expression was vacant, and her gaze was drifting, as if her spirit was wandering elsewhere.

Seeing this scene, Mu Yingchen felt extremely distressed. No matter what, she was his mother who had given birth to him and raised him. Even if she had done so many things behind his back to hurt him, he could resent her, but he couldn’t disown her, let alone hate her. He just had to try his best to guide her, to persuade her.

However, considering the current situation, maybe Wanwan was right; she did need some quiet time.

When Su Wanxia saw that his mother’s condition was almost the same as when she had left, she felt an indescribable sensation in her heart. Did her words upset her?

She didn’t think her words would have taken to heart, but witnessing the scene before her, she thought that perhaps it was indeed something she said that had upset his mother.

Meanwhile, as if unaware of their presence, his mother just kept sitting on the floor, staring blankly in one direction, lost in thought.

Su Wanxia was about to apologize to Mu Yingchen; after all, he was a filial son, and seeing his mother in this state must be hard for him.

Just as she opened her mouth and the words reached her throat, Mu Yingchen once again took Su Wanxia by the hand and turned to go downstairs.

Su Wanxia looked at his tall, upright figure and opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing. She let herself be led by him, silently and obediently following behind him.

When Shanshan saw her cool, handsome daddy coming down the stairs with her obedient mummy, she was so shocked that she covered her mouth with her little hands.

Great-grandfather was so mystical, he actually got it right!

Thinking of this, she suddenly turned her head, looking at Mu Family’s old master with adoration, his face brimming with a smile.

Seeing the little girl turn to look at him, the old master immediately knew what she meant, then he nodded to Shanshan somewhat smugly, as if to say, "See, great-grandfather didn’t lie to you, did he?"

At the same time, he praised his grandson in his heart for having such skills, it hadn’t taken long for the girl to obediently follow behind him.

Mu Yingchen looked at the old and young sitting by the sofa, then spoke in a low voice to Shanshan, "Shanshan, let’s go, we’re heading back to the villa."

Upon hearing this, Shanshan immediately scampered over to her mom and dad, and then turned her head to speak to the old master with a face that was reluctant to leave, "Great-grandfather, I’ll come to see you another day."

The old master stood up from the sofa, glaring at Mu Yingchen severely, before turning to Shanshan with a chuckle, "Alright, you must come to see great-grandfather in a couple of days, I will miss you a lot."

Shanshan nodded obediently, "Mmm, great-grandfather rest assured, I will definitely come to see you in a few days."

Shanshan’s cute and well-behaved appearance immediately made the old master laugh heartily, continuously praising the little girl for being smart and well-behaved.

Su Wanxia, pulled by Mu Yingchen, nodded awkwardly to the old master and followed Mu Yingchen out.

It wasn’t until the figures of the three had disappeared from the living room that the old master suddenly remembered that his daughter-in-law hadn’t come down yet and immediately called the butler to check upstairs while he also started moving toward the stairs.

From leaving the living room to getting into the car, and then driving through the Mu Family’s gate, Mu Yingchen had a stern face the whole time, not saying a word.

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat oppressive. With both adults remaining silent and the little one also tightly shutting her mouth, not uttering a sound, waiting for the right moment to say something, hoping to break the silence between her daddy and mommy.

Su Wanxia’s heart wasn’t feeling right either. She kept feeling that Mu’s mother’s condition was related to her, and if it weren’t for her, Mu Yingchen would not have seen such a disgraceful side of his own mother.

Did he blame her in his heart? His silence, was it because he was blaming her?

The more she thought about it, the more restless she became. This whole situation was related to her, but now, how was she supposed to speak to him?

He was already upset, she surely couldn’t tell him everything his mother had said, could she? If she did, his heart would definitely feel even worse.

"I’m sorry----"

Finally unable to bear the atmosphere in the car, she voiced the words she had been wanting to say to him.

It was then that Mu Yingchen slightly shifted his gaze and after a soft sigh, said, "I’m the one who should be sorry, I shouldn’t have taken you back under those circumstances," his voice deep and resonant with heavy self-reproach.

He should have persuaded his mother first before bringing her back; he had been too hasty this time.

Hearing Mu Yingchen’s words, Su Wanxia felt even more ashamed. She lowered her head slightly and mumbled softly like a child who had made a mistake, "It was me... I spoke too harshly---"

She too had been too angry at the time, which led her to speak without restraint, and she admitted that despite his mother having brought him up all by herself, she indeed was a good mother. But she just couldn’t understand why his mother had to be so stubborn about him and her, couldn’t more than twenty years be enough for her to let go of those unhappy memories?
