Chapter 1949: Chapter 1949: Both of Us Know Perfectly Well

"You know, even in Yunxia City, let alone Sky City, we’d be held in even higher esteem; people would be practically trampling over each other just to curry favor with our Yue Clan."

But now, with the token in Yue Chushui’s hands, what good is it to him, a useless man who can’t cultivate his spirit? It’s not like he can eat it."

Since the token is useless in his hands, why can’t he just give it to you as a sign of filial piety? You are his real father after all. Should father and son really be so estranged?"

It had to be said, Luo Mianyi’s words struck right at Yue Chong’s heart.

Of course, he wanted to take the token from Yue Chushui’s hands into his own. Not only the token—he wished Yue Chushui would hand over everything that Old Madam Luo, his mother-in-law, bestowed upon her own grandson.

But was that possible?

Would Yue Chushui hand over those things to him?

The answer is, of course, impossible!

Although Yue Chushui was his son, the way he had treated him the past year was excessively cold, worse than even a common servant.

Given such circumstances, how could he possibly make him hand things over?

"Forget about this matter!"

He remained expressionless and glanced coldly at Luo Mianyi.

"Instead of scheming against Chushui, you’d be better off paying attention to Ze’er and Hao’er. I’ve heard that ever since Chushui sent Ze’er back, he hasn’t left his room for a long time now?

You, as their mother, do not even care for your own children, yet you have the time to discuss with me about tokens?

Even if Chushui were to hand over the token, it’s not something for you to covet. The token of Haibo Kingdom belongs to our Yue Clan. Besides, even though Chushui calls you ’mother,’ whether you truly are or not, we both know the truth."

"You—"

Luo Mianyi was almost infuriated to death by Yue Chong’s words.

"Brother Chong, we had an agreement. When I married you, Chushui would become my son. Even though it was Tianyu back then, now that Chushui has been found, he should naturally be..."

"It would be great if you could recognize that Chushui is your son," Yue Chong interrupted her, his words loaded with implications.

Luo Mianyi was choked by his words again. Was he blaming her for not taking good care of Yue Chushui?

He wasn’t her biological son; why should she care for him?

But when it came to this matter, she did feel somewhat guilty because she had been able to marry Yue Chong by promising in the presence of the Old Madam of the Yue Clan and several clan elders that she would treat her sister’s son as her own.

But now she had her own sons. Why should she always consider someone else’s child and neglect her own?

"Every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost," this saying is always right, isn’t it?

With these thoughts, she no longer felt as guilty. It was Yue Chushui’s own misfortune to be motherless; he deserved his suffering!

"If there’s nothing else, you may leave. Don’t disturb me while I am attending to my affairs," Yue Chong said, seeing her quiet down and motioning her to leave.

"I..."

Luo Mianyi, of course, wasn’t willing to just let it go and wanted to persuade Yue Chong some more.

But it was clear that Yue Chong had no desire to listen to her any longer, giving her a cold stare.

"The clan elders will be arriving shortly. Do you want them to hear how you treat Qiu Yi’s son, hmm?" he threatened.

"I..."
