Chapter 1296: Climb A Window To Meet (3)
Zhong Bingyuan immediately burst into tears. “What should I do then? After all, she’s my mother. Should I… should I just watch her doom herself and be expelled from the Zhong family?”
Mo Chengxi could only sigh helplessly and say, “Your grandfather probably won’t do such a thing as long as you’re around. I can only promise that I won’t use my status to pressure the Zhong family. That will only embarra.s.s everyone. Yuan Yuan, I will also consider your feelings. Don’t underestimate your importance in my heart, all right?”
Zhong Bingyuan was startled. She felt both blissful and hurt.
This person was too outstanding! She was captivated by his excellence. She was just an ordinary girl!
How could she not be touched by such a fine person?
So many girls in the capital admired Mo Chengxi. If you lined them up, the line would extend outside the city. Many children from n.o.ble families were now being spoilt by their families, enjoying the empire their elders had built. They never did an honest day’s work, and slept around, but felt that they were very admirable.
The older generation had suffered, and now that things were better, they doted on their children, hoping that they would not need to suffer like they had when they were young. So many children were spoilt by their parents.
But the Mo, Gu, Qiao and Qin families were not like that.
They were great families that stretched back for many years and had deep roots. They brought up their children and grandchildren very strictly. Among the great families, all the children were strictly disciplined, and all of the younger generations were outstanding.
Although Mo Chengxi was highly respected in the capital and was definitely one of the best among the young n.o.ble scions, there was never any gossip about him. How could she not feel touched if a person like that loved her and protected her?
Although she was touched, she also felt unworthy of him.
She had already worked very hard, hoping to become more outstanding. She did not expect everything else to be fine except her mother.
Her mother single-mindedly believed that Mo Chengxi was bad. Everything about him was bad!
When Mo Chengxi saw that the girl was crying, he helped wipe her tears away. “All right, don’t cry. Yuan Yuan, you have to try to gain the upper hand when it comes to your mother. No matter how lofty she is, she must bow to reality. Yuan Yuan, I have such a high status, so can’t you make use of it?”
Zhong Bingyuan was puzzled. “Me?”
“Yes, you. I love you and dote on you. That is your privilege. My existence gives you authority within the Zhong family. Don’t try to reason with your mother in the future. It won’t work. If you want to protect her, the best way is to control her so that she does not continue to kick up a fuss whenever she pleases. Otherwise, Uncle Zhong will run out of patience one day.”
Zhong Bingyuan hurriedly said, “I know, I know. My father has already been very tolerant. After all these years, even I can’t stand it any longer. Sometimes, I feel that my father might as well divorce her! Then he won’t suffer as much, but… she’s my mother. I don’t want my parents to separate.”
Mo Chengxi said, “So, someone has to restrain your mother. Make her fear you so that she will restrain herself and not continue kicking up a fuss.”
Zhong Bingyuan wiped away her tears and said anxiously, “Then… what should I do?”
Mo Chengxi’s lips arched, “Rely on my love and be unreasonable!”
Zhong Bingyuan: “…”
Mo Chengxi raised his brows at her stunned expression. “Why? Haven’t I given you the basis to be arrogant and domineering?”
Zhong Bingyuan: “…”
