It was normal for the old lady to be shocked. More than ten years ago, Lan Yue wanted to leave the Ji Family and marry Xia Weiwen, but no one could persuade her. After she made her decision, she immediately packed up and left.
After hearing that she had married Xia Weiwen, their relations.h.i.+p had always been harmonious. The couple sang together and on many occasions, people could not help but feel envious.
The old lady thought that Lan Yue would be selfish enough to spend the rest of her life with Xia Weiwen, but now, Lan Yue"s decision surprised her once again.
Lan Yue saw that the old lady was staring at her fixedly, as if she found it strange that she had made such a decision.
"I"ve thought about it seriously. I"m not joking. Xia Weiwen and I have both decided to get a divorce and grant their wish." Seeing the doubtful expression on the old lady"s face, Lan Yue could only express her thoughts seriously.
The old lady sneered, her tone still containing ridicule, "Stop being such a good girl here, let"s help them! Isn"t your heart black? "For your happiness, you are so selfish that I have a whole new level of respect for you. Now that you have suddenly become a good person, I am not used to it."
Lan Yue"s face was slightly pale.
The words of the old lady were unpleasant to hear and piercing to the ear.
"Why didn"t you ask me why I was so determined to leave your son that year?" Lan Yue suddenly spoke, her voice filled with sadness.
It was as if she, too, had been greatly wronged.
The old lady"s expression changed instantly and she became even more furious, "Stop accusing my son wrongly. My son married the wrong person, that"s why he was killed by you. Do you still have the face to mention him?"
"I know you hate me, but there is one thing you probably don"t know. Is it really me that caused your son"s accident? No, he did it because of some other woman! " Lan Yue suddenly revealed the secret that had remained silent for many years, blus.h.i.+ng, excited, and even disappointed.
She pointed at Lan Yue. "Shut your mouth, I won"t allow you to speak ill of my son, he is of such good character, how could there possibly be another woman? Now that he is in heaven, whether he is good or bad, it all depends on you. I am not old enough to let you ruin his reputation."
Lan Yue lowered her head with a pained expression, her laughter tinged with sadness, "Yes, of course he"s your good son, filial and gentle. Yes, he treats me pretty well, but he never loved me, he only treated me as his wife and treated me with respect. However, a marriage without love is like a pool of stagnant water, making one despair."
"Lan Yue, you said all these just to give yourself an excuse. Do you think I"ll believe you?" The old lady scolded her angrily, her old face flus.h.i.+ng red.
"What I said was the truth. The woman he loved called me a few times, begged me, threatened me, asked me to leave the Ji Family, and made room for her, at that time, I was holding back on the grounds that the two children were still young, to give way, to give way, to not reveal anything, but your son really went too far, he lied about going on a business trip, and took the woman out to play for a long time. Every night, I received a picture of them embracing each other, and if you don"t believe me, I can show it to you!" As Lan Yue spoke, she took out a large set of photos from her bag, walked over to the old lady, and handed them to her.
The old lady froze, her face ashen. Looking at the photos, her hands trembled, but she suddenly didn"t dare to pick them up.
As my wife and mother, I have always done my best. However, I really can"t bear to be wronged for the rest of my life just like that, so I"ve also chosen love. You guys can call me selfishness, but I feel that if I don"t make a decision for myself, then I"ll never have the courage to take another step in my life. Seeing that the old lady did not dare to accept the photos, Lan Yue could only continue to speak of her i
er grief.
In the end, the old lady still took the photos and flipped through them one by one, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"That vixen!" The old lady cursed in hatred. She knew the woman in the photo who was embracing her son, and it was she who stopped her son from being together with her. However, she didn"t expect that this woman would still pester her son and not let him go.
Even when her son was married, she still wouldn"t let him go.
The old lady was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She really wanted to tear that charming smile of the woman in the photo to shreds.
Lan Yue stood calmly to the side, watching. She felt that the pain she"d endured for more than ten years had finally been alleviated.
At the very least, she did not let her son know about this matter, nor did she let the old man know about it.
"How can this be?" The old lady suddenly lost her balance and started crying.
Lan Yue looked at her crying face and consoled, "I didn"t dare to tell you and my son because I was afraid that he would disappoint you two."
The old lady raised her head and looked at Lan Yue with a complicated gaze. "My son has let you down, but the children are i
ocent. Why did you abandon them?"
"In this matter, I have always felt guilty and guilty. Thus, I now want to muse over the mistakes I made back then. I hope that you can fulfill my wish." Lan Yue sighed. Perhaps because she was too old, she had learned to be indifferent to many matters.
The old lady wiped her face with the back of her hand. "Are you going to show these photos to your two sons?"
Lan Yue shook her head and said in a sorrowful voice, "Of course not. I"d rather have my son as my son and never know the true appearance of their father."
"You do have good intentions, but if you leave them behind, they will still blame you!" The old lady heaved a sigh of relief.
She had mixed feelings when she saw her son smiling while holding another woman in his arms. She really didn"t know how she would feel if her two grandchildren saw her smile.
"Back then, you really shouldn"t have accepted me marrying into the Ji Family. Your son and I didn"t have any love, and perhaps you agreed to let him marry the woman he loved, so there won"t be so many conflicts of grudges between us right now." Lan Yue said bitterly.
The old lady was silent. Of course she knew about this, she was responsible as well.
"Am I really old? I don"t know how important love is in marriage. " The old lady also started to mock herself.
Lan Yue rarely saw her say such a calm sentence. She smiled sadly: "Only a loving marriage can make you happy. I feel that Xiaohan and Tang Youyou truly love each other. It"s too cruel to separate them!"
The old lady snorted: "It was Xia Weiwen who told you to come and plead for mercy, right? I didn"t expect him to be so considerate towards a girl like her."
