"Xiao Zhi, stop making trouble, letâs sit down and resolve this properly," Mei Shuping hurried over when he saw his wife storming in, but he was still a step late. What he didnât expect was that Shen Qing came over at this time, which only made Xie Lingzhi even more resentful towards Han Yi.
"Mom," Han Yijian saw Xie Lingzhi rushing over and quickly pulled Shen Qing back.
Han Yiâs call of "Mom" completely snapped Xie Lingzhi out of her rage. She abruptly stopped, her eyes widening as she pointed at Shen Qing, stammering as she asked Han Yi, "You... what did you just call her? Sheâs your mom?"
"Yes, Han Yi is my son. What do you want to do?"
Xie Lingzhi incredulously turned to look at Mei Shuping, "Is this woman your old flame? Is she?"
Xie Lingzhiâs words caused both Mei Shuping and Shen Qingâs faces to darken.
"Xiao Zhi, you should go back to take care of Xiao Chi first, and Iâll say a few words with our in-laws." Mei Shuping didnât want to talk about his past affairs in front of so many people, as it wasnât something he was proud of.
Xie Lingzhi wouldnât listen to him at all, giving him no face. Her own son was beaten into bed by the son of a cheap woman outside, and now she herself was slapped by this woman. Her husband didnât feel sorry for her nor stand up for their mother and son, and now he even wanted to send her away. Could he be wanting to rekindle an old flame?
"Iâm not leaving. Mei Shuping, are you trying to send me away to rekindle old feelings with this woman? I refuse to leave. I want to see what youâre trying to do."
"Itâs not about what weâre doing, itâs about what youâre trying to do. Can you stop being unreasonable?"
"What am I doing? Iâm being unreasonable? My son was beaten into bed by this bastard, and now Iâve been inexplicably slapped. You, as a husband and a father, just stand by and watch your wife and child being bullied while helping others. Mei Shuping, arenât you ashamed?"
Mei Shuping was left speechless by Xie Lingzhiâs words and quickly apologized with a gesture to Lin Wanâs parents in the room, "Sorry to have let you witness this. Iâll calm things down first, and weâll meet later."
Mei Shuping spoke and quickly pulled Xie Lingzhi outside.
But Xie Lingzhi refused to leave, forcefully shaking off his hold, pointing viciously at Shen Qing, "Mei Shuping, get this woman out of here, or Iâm not done with you today."
"Can you stop being unreasonable? I have nothing to do with her." Mei Shuping had a bitter look on his face, showing some annoyance, secretly thinking that Xie Lingzhi was being unreasonable.
"Nothing to do with her, huh? Can you have such a big son with nothing to do with her? Look at you now. Ever since you acknowledged this son, you have devoted all your heart to him. When that womanâs son got hurt, you ran around organizing things for him, busy arranging time off for him with his boss. What about my son? When he was in trouble, you never cared this much. Since having this son, how many times have you cared about Xiao Chi? And now, this bitch also came. What do they want? To reignite old feelings with you? Are you secretly overjoyed?"
"Xie Lingzhi! Are you crazy? Do you know what youâre saying?" Mei Shuping was completely infuriated, feeling that Xie Lingzhi had utterly embarrassed him.
It was the first time Shen Qing had met Mei Shupingâs wife, and she was truly witnessing a spectacle today. So this was a daughter from a prominent family? With such quality, Shen Qing suddenly felt that she was much better than her. The Mei Family must be blind. She was even beginning to regret letting Xiao Yi come to the Mei Family.
"Mei Shuping, is this the attitude you have after acknowledging your son? If it wasnât for me seeing it today, I wouldnât even know what kind of life my son is living in your Mei Family. Youâre truly a good father."
"Shen Qing, itâs not what you saw. Today was an accident," Mei Shuping said, feeling troubled. He should have stopped Xie Lingzhi earlier to avoid this embarrassing situation.
"I didnât see it as an accident." Shen Qing said coldly, looking at Xie Lingzhi with a mocking expression.
Xie Lingzhi ignored what Shen Qing said and directly told Mei Shuping, "Mei Shuping, donât call her by her name. Get her out of the hospital and out of the Capital City immediately."
"Madam, is the Capital City your familyâs territory, or is this hospital owned by your family? Or is this ward paid for by you? Who do you think you are, being so aggressive? So, these are the people from the Capital City. Iâve truly seen everything today. Your quality isnât even as good as someone from my small city."
