My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots Chapter 1855 - Young and Naive

Chapter 1855: Young and Naive

“Because I didn’t know you well, the last time we met, I did not really like you. But after what happened that day, I saw that you and Chi Yang were not just marrying for family ties. Your relations.h.i.+p is a very special one. That day, both my son and the old master slapped me in the face. I was wrong. I deserved it. Nuannuan, can you forgive me?”

“Of course. It’s nothing. Young Madam Pei, you don’t have to take the past to heart.”

After Zhou Ruxue finished speaking, Nuannuan nodded her head and forgave her seemingly without a second thought.

At first, Zhou Ruxue thought she would have to waste a lot of saliva to get Nangong Nuannuan to let go of her prejudices against her. Who could have guessed that Nangong Nuannuan would agree to her request so easily? This surprised her a lot.

She was very happy.

As long as Nangong Nuannuan acknowledged her as her mother, she would be able to bring the Pei family more riches. Although her husband, Pei Jitong, never complained that she could not bear any more children, Zhou Ruxue still felt like she owed the Pei family.

Even after so many years had pa.s.sed since she married into the Pei family, Old Master Chi still had not died yet. Chi Yang also did not want to repair their relations.h.i.+p. In addition to that, her mother’s power was worth nothing in Emperor District, so Zhou Ruxue had always felt that she owed the Pei family more.

Now that she knew that her daughter-in-law could bring considerable benefits to the Pei family, her mood improved. She smiled and said to Nangong Nuannuan, “Child, why are you calling me Young Madam Pei? I’m Chi Yang’s mother, and you’re Chi Yang’s fiancee. Shouldn’t you call me Mom?”

Nangong Nuannuan looked at Zhou Ruxue, who was acting like a loving mother right now. Nuannuan did not disagree with the crux of her argument—a widow did not need to mourn forever. Zhou Ruxue was not wrong for choosing her own happiness after Chi Yang’s father sacrificed himself.

However, Grandma Pei of the Pei family, Lan Huifang, was basically Grandfather Chi’s sister. Although they were not related by blood, he had always treated her like his younger sister.

Then, his daughter-in-law insisted on marrying his nephew after his son died. What kind of behavior was that?

Furthermore, Nangong Nuannuan felt that there was more to this matter.

Both Grandfather Chi and Big Brother Chi Yang were open-minded people. They would never sever ties with the Pei family over a small matter. Big Brother Chi Yang did not even acknowledge his mother as his own anymore.

Nangong Nuannuan looked at the woman in front of her and smiled. “Young Madam Pei, yes, I am Big Brother Chi Yang’s fiancee. But are you sure that you’re Big Brother Chi Yang’s mother?”

Zhou Ruxue’s expression changed drastically. She turned pale and roared. “What do you mean? If I’m not Chi Yang’s mother, then who is?”

Nangong Nuannuan sneered. “If you’re his mother, then why doesn’t he acknowledge you? I’ve never seen him contact you, nor have I heard him call you ‘mother’. He doesn’t even call you ‘mother’, so why should I? Could it be that Young Madam Pei wants to take advantage of me because I seem young and naive?”

Zhou Ruxue, “...”

“Excuse me.”

After saying that, Nangong Nuannuan ignored Lan Huifang and walked past the two women in front of her.

Zhou Ruxue was still in shock. She only regained her senses after Lan Huifang scolded her.

“Look at you! The son you gave birth to is completely ignoring you. Even your daughter-in-law doesn’t respect you. What did our Pei family do to have someone like you join us?”
