Chapter 816: Conflict (23)
“Xiao Huan, it’s all thanks to you that your grandpa is fine. You have no idea how grateful I am to you.” Meng Yueman had always been a straightforward person. No matter how much she blamed Mu Huan after the incident, she would not deny her good deeds.
“I only did what I should.”
Meng Yueman looked at Mu Huan and suddenly grabbed her hand tightly. “Xiao Huan, I know that you’re a good child. I know that you only hurt your grandpa because you were forced to do so. However, just take it that I’m begging you. I beg you. No matter what your grandpa does in the future, don’t treat him like this anymore, okay? If he does anything wrong, you can come after me! If he really gets someone to hurt your grandma, you can hurt me tenfold in return. I won’t blame you. I really won’t blame you!
“Don’t go against your grandfather. We can’t let him be angry or something will happen to him. If anything happens to him, this mom of yours… I really… I really wouldn’t be able to stand it…” Meng Yueman started sobbing.
“I’m sorry, Mom…” Mu Huan’s heart ached for Meng Yueman’s pain.
“I believe you feel the same way about your grandmother. You’d rather suffer a thousand cuts than let her get hurt at all. I feel the same way about your grandfather. I hope you can understand how I feel.”
“I understand…”
“I know. It’s all your grandfather’s fault. He did what he did. But your grandfather is already so old. He’s more than 70 years old and his health isn’t that good. I’ve already said all that I can. I’ve really thought of all sorts of ways to stop him!
“Other than speaking to him, what else can we do? Lock him up? Send him overseas and abandon him? He’s my father, my biological father… Xiao Huan, whatever he does, I, as his daughter, will bear the consequences. Please don’t hurt him again…
“If anything happens to him… Mom really… Mom really…” Meng Yueman could no longer control herself and started crying. She was scared, really scared. She was so scared that her father would not be able to open his eyes again and she would lose him forever. She was really scared, really scared.
“I’m sorry, Mom…” Mu Huan looked at her mother-in-law, her heart aching so much that her eyes turned red. She had done nothing wrong in front of Old Master Meng. She had still shown him absolute mercy. If it had been anyone else, she would have been even more ruthless. However, when facing Meng Yueman, who had treated her very well, she was at fault. She had hurt her mother-in-law’s biological father. No matter what, he had been hurt.
…
What trouble could he not afford to provoke now? He was already elderly. When one was old, they were the weak. They were also the weak who could not be touched. Once an accident happened, just like today, if Mu Huan had not been rescued in time or if she had not been rescued at all, Old Master Meng would have been finished.
No matter how sensible Meng Yueman was, she knew that it was her father’s fault and could no longer blame Mu Huan.
A person’s emotions could not be controlled by rationality.
In the face of life and death, right and wrong were no longer important.
After Bo Dingjing, who had settled everything, came back and saw Meng Yueman crying so sadly, he walked over and wanted to take her to have a rest.
Alas, after Meng Yueman stood up, she suddenly fainted into Bo Dingjing’s arms, perhaps because she was too agitated or because she stood too quickly.
This scared Bo Dingjing and Mu Huan.
Thankfully, Meng Yueman only fainted for a short while. She woke up quickly and was fine.
However, because her emotions were fluctuating too much, her blood pressure rose, which made Bo Dingjing very worried.
