Chapter 1977: Chapter 1977: Not Worthy of Being Called ’Dad’ by Chushui!

"If you claim that Chushui has never regarded you as his father, then let’s talk about that."

"Mother, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yue Chong asked with a cold face.

"What do I want to talk about? Heh heh."

Old Madam Yue chuckled coldly a few times, raising her gaze to look seriously at him.

"Initially, when Chushui had just returned to the Yue Clan, he was completely unfamiliar with everyone in the clan. He didn’t have a single person by his side to look after him. Have you ever thought about that, or done anything for him?"

"Didn’t Mianyi arrange so many people for him? It was his own choice to reject them, driving them all out," Yue Chong shot back.

Originally, Luo Mianyi had indeed sent many servants to Yue Chushui’s courtyard, but within a short while, they were all chased away by Yue Chushui, including the ones sent by him and those dispatched by the Old Madam herself. Not a single one was kept.

This fact was known by the entire Yue Clan.

"If he had really used those people, would Chushui still be alive?" Old Madam Yue questioned him harshly.

Among the people arranged by Luo Mianyi in Chushui’s courtyard, was there a single one who had good intentions and truly served Chushui, their master?

"Even if Chushui had been willing to keep those people, I wouldn’t have let them stay in his courtyard. At best, there would just be a few more corpses," she said, her voice light as she spoke to her son.

"Mother, you..."

Yue Chong was startled by Old Madam Yue’s words.

"Even if Mianyi really harbored... some intent, as her child, how can Chushui harbor doubts about his own mother?"

This point was also what he was most dissatisfied with in that son. As a son, he actually doubted his own mother had intentions to harm him. How could someone so distrusting become the young master of their Yue Clan?

"Heh."

Old Madam Yue scoffed.

"Do you think that Chushui truly believes that Luo Mianyi, that woman, is his mother?"

"Mother, what do you mean?"

Yue Chong was alarmed by his mother’s words.

Could it be that Yue Chushui never believed from the start that he was Luo Mianyi’s son, which was why, upon returning to the Yue Clan, he dismissed all the servants in his courtyard outright?

It was because he did not trust anyone in the Yue Clan, including his own father.

"Enough, I have said so much. There’s no need to pretend ignorance," Old Madam Yue waved dismissively at her son.

"Your mother-in-law, Old Madam Luo, has always doted on Qiu Yi. How could she let her have no one to tend to her grave after her death? You’re taking Luo Mianyi too seriously.

Moreover, given Luo Mianyi’s attitude towards Chushui, anyone would question whether she really is Chushui’s birth mother, let alone the fact that Chushui grew up with Young Master Sui and Madam Sui.

Do you think he still is a child who knows nothing, and that you can treat him however you like?

Heh, you are indeed wishful thinkers, expecting to get his unconditional loyalty without giving anything in return. To speak unpleasantly, do you think you even deserve it?"

"Mother, how can you say such things, I am Chushui’s father!" Yue Chong protested, flustered.

"A father who doesn’t act like one doesn’t deserve to be called ’Dad’ by Chushui!" Old Madam Yue said indifferently.

Yue Chong: "..."

In the end, was he even still considered as her son? Why did it seem that ever since Chushui arrived, his mother no longer paid any attention to him?
