Chapter 487: Chapter 488: Tingyan Leaves (Part 8)
"Nini is my partner, the woman I want to spend my life with. Whether you agree or not, it doesnāt really affect me!"
"What are you saying? Iām your mom, arenāt you even listening to me anymore? And your dad, he definitely wouldnāt agree with you two being together either!"
Shang Wan glanced over at Li Zhenhua.
Li Zhenhua silently lit a cigarette. "I canāt control it. Let them cause a fuss; itās not like Iām the one getting married."
"You!"
Shang Wan was furious. Looking at the others, they all had their heads down, clearly indicating they wouldnāt intervene.
She gritted her teeth, "Your dadās opinion, and everyoneās, donāt matter. Iām the central figure in this family. Everyone must listen to me. Just tell me whether you agree to break up with her!"
"Impossible."
"You... I told you this woman is a little witch!"
Shang Wan glanced hatefully at Nianyang beside her, "And you said sheās docile. If she were docile, she wouldnāt have led you to defy me, your own mom!"
Li Tingyan looked at Nianyang beside him, whose face showed little expression. Inside, a fire spread. If this werenāt his home, and if the troublemaking woman werenāt his mother, heād really want to turn things upside down, regardless.
But he knew he couldnāt act impulsively because Nianyang has always wanted to get along well with his family.
He canāt ruin everything because of his rashness.
He took a deep breath, "Mom, I think you might be a bit impulsive right now. Itās not suitable for us to talk. Calm down a little yourself; weāre going upstairs to rest."
With that, he pulled Nianyang upstairs. Shang Wan was so angry, her chest hurt, "Look at his attitude!"
Li Zhenhua put down his cigarette, "Itās their issue; maybe you should say less about the kidsā feelings."
Shang Wan put her hands on her hips, "You stubborn old man, isnāt Tingyan your son? Why donāt you care about his life matters? Iām doing this for his good. His status fits a more obedient woman; that Nianyang is too sharp and easily causes trouble!"

The two entered the room. Li Tingyan cautiously observed Nianyangās expression and said regretfully,
"Iām sorry, Nini. My momās unreasonable. Youāve been wronged!"
Nianyang wrapped her arms around the manās neck, her voice muffled, "Tingyan, what should I do? I feel Iāve tried very hard; yet your mom still doesnāt like me, and she wants you to find another wife!"
Li Tingyan embraced the young girl tightly, "Donāt say that. Iāve chosen you. Only you can be my wife!"
Nianyang was extremely aggrieved, "Tingyan, I can see it; your mom only likes Chu Huan. She really doesnāt like me. You know Iām not someone who can endure these things. In such a situation, I was almost pissed off. But I know sheās your mom, your birth and nurturing mother, and between you two, Iām just an outsider. I canāt say anything..."
"Iām sorry, Iām sorry..." Li Tingyan affectionately kissed the girlās brow, "Itās my fault. I made you suffer, made you endure for me. Iām such a bastard.
Nini, weāll leave; weāll leave tomorrow. We wonāt worry about my mom, about anyone in my family!"
Nianyang blinked his teary eyes, "But if we leave, your mom will definitely be more angry, thinking I led you astray, even more convinced Iām a curse."
Li Tingyan tightened his lips, "Donāt worry, ignore it. Weāll leave first. Sheās blinded by anger now. Once my mom calms down, Iāll explain to her properly. If she doesnāt listen, thereās nothing I can do."
