Chapter 93 - Mother-in-law VS Daughter-in-law (2/2)
”Still not sleeping together?” The woman frowned, ”I thought your relationship has improved after this business trip. It has been two years since you both have married yet it seems like there is no progress between you at all. What will it take you both to….?”
”What will it take us to have sex?” Yu Mei folded her arms across her chest as she looked at the woman's expression shifting at her bold words.
She did not think there was anything was wrong with her wordings.
Rather than beating around the bush, it was best to speak in crystal clear words so the other party gets your point.
She was not a person who has ever been meek or obedient in all her life.
Bodies may have changed but her soul was still the same.
”How impudent!” Shen Lihua's voice raised a pitch higher.
”Stop shouting lest you get your son's attention,” Initially, Yu Mei has prepared herself to bear with anything considering the woman's poor health. But, she realized that some things need to be talked about. ”What kind of mother are you? Does it not hurts your heart when you manipulate him emotionally to do the things he never wanted to do? Look at me…I am neither beautiful nor rich or I don't even possess any qualities. Does it not pricks your conscience to have me standing beside Jun Zixuan who is perfect in all aspects?”
These questions were revolving in her mind for a long time. Other than the Yu Family, the previous Yu Mei Zhen did not care about anyone. Not only was she ugly, but she was also scheming and extremely selfish. Which mother would want such a girl for their son.
”Girl, I never forced Ah Xuan to marry you.”
”You didn't? Then did you stop him from marrying me?” Yu Mei glanced at the woman seriously, ”You didn't do that and he married me after which you were regular with your medications and treatments. You should know that your son is a stubborn and proud man but he put his pride aside for you and married me, an illegitimate daughter, a girl with the worst reputation in Beijing.''
Although Jun Zixuan did not tell her the details but she figured out things by joining the dots. Even she felt distressed when she thought about how he had stayed with another woman despite loving someone else. Her heart ached for him.
Shen Lihua was surprised. She did not expect Jun Zixuan to tell Yu Mei regarding her medical condition.
”I owe your mother a life. Fulfilling her last wish was the least I could do,” She said.
Yu Mei paused for a split-second before speaking in a softer tone, ”What about your son? You owe him more. Zixuan doesn't love me neither do I.”
Jun Zixuan who was standing outside the kitchen closed his eyes for a second. Letting out a soft sigh, he tucked his hands inside his pocket and walked back to the living room.
”Love?” Shen Lihua smiled, but it was different from her perfunctory smiles. There was a hint of mocking in it, ”I did marry for love. A destination wedding, a dream lover, a perfect man, I got everything when I chased after the 'true love'. But now when I'm in this half-dead condition, surviving through my disease, my love is nowhere to be seen,” She stroked her head, ”Mei'er, don't chase after love. It won't get you anywhere.”
Yu Mei was stunned. She opened her mouth to say something but no words came out of her mouth. Those words were said so casually but were they just as simple?
”You….are making me look like an evil antagonist here,” She spoke after a long time.
Shen Lihua laughed, ”Do you want to be a kind protagonist then?”
”Whatever!”
