Chapter 1471: Chapter 1471: No Hostility

She was truly unable to suppress her anger any longer and could not stand it anymore.

"Mianyi, I’ve told you so much, why can’t you understand?"

Yue Chong sighed, his gaze landing on his wife with a sense of deep concern as he had to explain once again.

"Chushui is not familiar with us now; even if we forcefully take him away, he won’t grow closer with us because of it. On the contrary, our unilateral actions could make him hold a grudge against us in his heart."

"He... he is our son, how dare he..."

"Why wouldn’t he dare?"

Yue Chong interrupted Luo Mianyi’s words, his tone becoming more serious than ever.

"Didn’t you see how Chushui didn’t even glance at us in the Lin Family’s courtyard?"

"Hmph!"

This reminder only fueled Luo Mianyi’s anger further.

Just now, she had watched her son constantly talk about that girl, Lin Caisang, in every sentence.

"Brother Chong, could it be that Chushui has taken a liking to Lin Caisang?"

She couldn’t help but speculate. Could her son’s keen attention to Lin Caisang mean he had fallen for her?

That simply wouldn’t do. Her son from the Yue Family, the future young master, couldn’t possibly fancy such an ordinary girl from the wilderness; it was absolutely unacceptable.

"What are you thinking?"

Yue Chong couldn’t help but frown, casting an annoyed glance at his wife.

He felt that in Chushui’s eyes, looking at Lin Caisang, there was respect, admiration, and dependence, certainly not the affection his wife suggested—that he had fallen for Lin Caisang.

"Don’t say such things again. Actually, our staying here a while longer could be beneficial. We can communicate more with Chushui, build our relationship. Otherwise, do you really want to be unable to speak even a single word with your own son in the future?"

"Uh."

Luo Mianyi was at a loss for words at his comment.

Reflecting on the time in the Lin Family’s courtyard, she truly...

Oh, no, it wasn’t that she hadn’t spoken to her son; it was that he completely ignored her words, not responding to her at all.

"Brother Chong, tell me, why can Chushui talk to you, but when it comes to me, his mother, he doesn’t say a word? What’s the reason behind this?"

She just couldn’t understand what was going on.

"Because I don’t hold any animosity towards Lin Caisang," Yue Chong stated bluntly.

Chushui might not be very talkative, but from their interaction earlier, it was clear the boy understood everything perfectly well and was very perceptive.

Luo Mianyi harbored animosity towards Lin Caisang, which wasn’t a recent development. It began ever since they settled on Manghuang Mountain, and all of his persuasions had been to no avail.

Would Chushui fail to notice that?

Luo Mianyi: "..."

How could she have known that her son would pick up on her unintentional expressions of dissatisfaction with Lin Caisang?

"From now on, be mindful that towards the Lin Family, we can only feel gratitude and should harbor no other thoughts," Yue Chong instructed his wife.

"Mmm, I understand now."

Luo Mianyi nodded, indicating that she got the message.

Yet, despite her words, Yue Chong still felt a sense of helplessness inside.

How many times had she acknowledged his advice with understanding, claiming she knew, she understood, she would change?

But what about reality?

He didn’t want to say anything more. Since it was a case of not turning back until hitting a wall, he might as well let Luo Mianyi run into that wall herself.

"Brother Chong, shall we go to the Lin Family again later?" Luo Mianyi proposed.
