Chapter 1972: Chapter 1972: Too Much of a Blunder

This was supposed to be a banquet for Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang’s party, but it was clearly an opportunity for Yue Chushui to save face in front of everyone.

Although Yue Chushui was also his son, witnessing his own mother paving the way for his son behind his back... No, rather, doing so in front of him, why did he feel so uncomfortable?

He was still the head of the Yue Clan, after all. These tasks should have been his responsibility.

Yet, his mother had gone behind his back to do them.

Yue Chong couldn’t bring himself to admit that it was he who looked down on this son and didn’t want him to rise to power in the clan, pushing down his other two sons.

After all, at the beginning, both his mother and the clan elders preferred Luo Qiuyi.

And because of this, ever since Yue Chushui returned, both his mother and the elders had been giving him extra care, which made him, the clan head, feel uncomfortable.

With these thoughts, he walked steadily towards Old Madam Yue with a stern face.

"Oh."

Luo Mianyi also responded through gritted teeth, her resentful gaze darting carefully between Yue Chushui and Old Madam Yue, not daring to stare directly.

And what she hated even more were Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang!

If it wasn’t for these two outsiders insisting on stepping in and visiting the Yue Clan to see Yue Chushui, how could Old Madam Yue have the opportunity to give Yue Chushui this chance to show his face?

In the Yue Clan, Yue Chushui had everything of the best, so why should a sister with no blood relation come to meddle in the Yue Clan’s affairs?

With these thoughts, she glared hatefully at the back of Lin Caisang, and her face turned utterly dark when she saw another person standing beside Lin Caisang.

"Ze’er, what are you doing here?"

She walked briskly over, pulled her son, Yue Tianze, to her side, and asked with a displeased face.

"Mother, what are you doing?"

Yue Tianze had just exchanged a few words with his elder brother’s sister when he was interrupted by his own mother, his face immediately flushing with embarrassment.

And as he glanced at his grandmother and the clan elders who were sending dissatisfied looks towards him and his mother, his heart skipped a beat, and he silently cursed at the turn of events.

Even as his mother’s son, he felt her manner of speaking just now was inappropriate, let alone what the clan elders might think.

"What am I doing? I should be asking you, you..."

"Mother!"

Luo Mianyi was seething with anger, but before she could finish her sentence, Yue Tianze interrupted her.

"The grandparents and the clan elders are here, and I’m just chatting with them. Is there a problem?"

Glancing sideways, he swept a look at everyone else, then lowered his voice to speak to Luo Mianyi, ensuring that even though his voice was soft, it was loud enough for the grandparents and elders to hear.

Otherwise, who knows what they might think.

"Uh!"

Luo Mianyi was left speechless by her son’s rebuttal, the words caught in her throat.

Blushing and steeling herself, she looked towards Old Madam Yue and the clan elders, and seeing their cold faces looking back at her, her neck shrank back in fright.

It was because she saw Yue Chushui and his sister surrounded by so many people, with even her own son having to greet them with a smile, that she became so angry she couldn’t hold back, charging out impulsively.

How did she forget that Old Madam Yue and the clan elders were all standing right there?

Truly, it was a grave miscalculation.
