Chapter 620: Chapter 619: You Don’t Care, But I Do!

Yu Hongli had not begun to answer before Lin Aijia had already gleaned everything from his expression.

In a fit of anger, she stretched out her hand and repeatedly pounded his back with force, truly wishing that iron could turn into steel, "You dead boy, you had to marry her back then, I couldn’t even disagree! Not only is she older, but she’s also an illegitimate daughter. What were you really thinking?"

She never expected Luo Yue would have such a background, and that her father was Lin Xia’s father-in-law.

On the day they would meet again in the future, she didn’t know if she could face her naturally.

Yu Hongli understood from her reaction that she must know everything.

Bending slightly with patience despite the pain, he answered, "Mom! Luo Yue is prettier than me, has better qualities than me.

I just like her, I can’t be without her. If I had told you the truth, would you have agreed?"

Yu Hongli had decided from the start that he would not tell his mother a word about this matter before marriage.

Otherwise, he and Luo Yue definitely wouldn’t be able to be together!

Moreover, he didn’t want Luo Yue to be looked down upon by others!

Being an illegitimate daughter was not Luo Yue’s fault at all! She was innocent!

Lin Aijia moved her lips, thinking if her son really had told her about Luo Yue being an illegitimate daughter, even if she had good qualities, she might not have agreed.

Seeing that his mother did not make a sound, Yu Hongli continued to persuade, "Mom! Luo Yue and I are living very well now. We even have a big grandson for you. What does it matter if she’s an illegitimate daughter or not? I don’t care at all!"

Lin Aijia made a gesture to hit him again, "Why do you talk just like Lin Xia?"

Yu Hongli deftly dodged, "Mom! Stop hitting me!"

Lin Aijia drew back her hand, tears of sadness dropping, "My son! You may not care, but I do! What if people find out one day, where would your father and I put our old faces? Could we still hold our heads high in public?"

Lin Aijia’s mouth felt as bitter as if she had swallowed coptis, not to mention Zhang Lanxiang was currently waiting to revel in their family’s troubles!

Yu Hongli grasped Lin Aijia’s hand, reassuring her, "Mom! We live in the city, who could know about this? Especially now living in an apartment, the upstairs and downstairs neighbors are even less likely to know these things!"

"That’s easy for you to say, but I’m just afraid of the ’what ifs’," Lin Aijia’s face was filled with worry, "You’re not unaware, our neighborhood, relatives, and friends, who doesn’t know you’re lucky to have found a beautiful wife with good conditions, living in an apartment, and with a big chubby son!

Should the day come when they find out, the higher we’ve climbed, the harder we’ll fall! Won’t we be laughed at behind our backs to death?"

"Mom! That definitely won’t happen! You can rest assured! And even if you know about this, just pretend you don’t.

Luo Yue and her mom have had enough hardship over these many years..."

Before Yu Hongli could finish, Lin Aijia exploded, feeling that her well-raised son was being ungrateful, bending the elbow outwards, not siding with his own family!

"Why the hell should I pretend I don’t know? I might as well use this issue to suppress their airs a bit, stop them from always thinking their way is the right one!

When the time comes that my grandson Luo starts walking with bent legs, I’m telling you, you’ll have nowhere to cry in regret!"

Yu Hongli turned pale with anger, and through clenched teeth, he said, "Fine! If you don’t want us to be alright, wish for us to fail, then go ahead and do as you please! If Luo Yue doesn’t recover well during her confinement, your grandson won’t be well either!"

Lin Aijia was so angry she could barely stand it, "What? I specially took leave to take care of my daughter-in-law during her confinement, and I’m doing it wrong?"

Taking advantage of the moment, Yu Hongli let out all the frustrations he had pent up, "Mom! You’re not wrong coming here to take care of the confinement, but you insist on using the old methods against Luo Yue and her ideas!

Both of them are nurses, don’t they know more than us? Yet you still have to use the old ways to take care of the child, and when they don’t agree, your words become unpleasant...

Now that you know Luo Yue’s background, you want to use it to pressure them!"

Lin Aijia nearly spit blood in anger, "I really raised a good son, huh? Now that I know she’s an illegitimate daughter, I can’t even say a word?"

Yu Hongli’s face was cold, "Mom! That’s not what I meant! What I mean is, if you keep making a fuss over this and Luo Yue ends up getting so upset that she doesn’t want to be with me anymore, and goes with her mom to the south, we might not even be able to see the child!

Someone like Luo Yue, who is both attractive and has good conditions, can find someone better than me at any time!

As for me, if I wanted to find someone as good as her, would I be able to?

If you think I can still find someone, then just keep on creating problems!"

Did Yu Hongli really want to separate from Luo Yue?

He knew that some things needed to be made clear, that his mother needed a wake-up call, or else the consequences would be unimaginable!

Therefore, he had to be tough!

Lin Aijia was momentarily stunned by Yu Hongli’s words; she, too, was well aware of her son’s situation and the standing of their own family.

Initially, it was only with Lin Xia’s matchmaking that they managed to marry Luo Yue; otherwise, there would have been no chance.

But this humiliation, she really couldn’t swallow it.

"Son! For your sake, I can pretend I don’t know, but it’s really suffocating me!" What kind of situation is this?

Yu Hongli hurriedly softened his tone, "Mom! How about this, why don’t you go back home first, take some time to calm down! Once you feel a bit better, you can come back later!"

Lin Aijia was silent for a long while but eventually agreed to her son’s suggestion, "Okay! Then I’ll go back first!"

She felt this was also good; otherwise, she really couldn’t face that mother and daughter calmly.

Meanwhile, Lin Xia was worried about what might happen at home after Lin Aijia returned; might it lead to a major family dispute?

She called Luo Xinyan’s home several times, but nobody answered.

Just as she was about to go out and pay a visit in person, the phone on the coffee table started to ring, "Ding-a-ling."

She hurried over to answer it, barely managing to say hello before realizing that it was Lu Zheng calling.

When Lu Zheng heard it was Lin Xia’s voice, he cheerfully called out, "Wife."

Lin Xia was quite happy to receive his call, with the corners of her mouth involuntarily lifting, "You’re back from your business trip?"

"Yeah! Just got back! Wife! How have you been? Miss me? I’ve missed you to death!"

Lin Xia readily gave him an answer, "Missed you! Very much so!"

Lu Zheng laughed with satisfaction, "Right, has Dongzi’s exam results come out yet?" Although he wasn’t there, he still cared about Lin Dong’s exams.

"His results are out! He did very well! Getting into that university in the provincial city shouldn’t be a problem!"

"That’s excellent! The kid’s good at studying! Ask him what he wants; as his big brother-in-law, I need to reward him!"

"I’ll ask him when he comes back to the room! We need to reward him too!" Lin Xia asked with concern, "How about you? Was the business trip tough? Did you gain weight or lose weight?"

"Neither fat nor thin!" Lu Zheng spoke warmly, "Wife! I’m waiting for you to come and make me delicious food to fatten me up!"

Lin Xia chuckled, "No problem! Once Dongzi starts school, and after I send them off, I’ll come over! I’ll make you delicious food every day without repetition!"

Lu Zheng let out a pleased laugh on the other end of the phone, "Great! I’ll be waiting!"

Lin Xia bit her lip gently, "Xiaozheng, Luo Yue had the baby! She had a son!"

Lu Zheng paused for a moment, "Is that so? That’s great news!"

"Right! It’s good news!" Lin Xia continued, "Yesterday, Dad made a special trip over, and then with Aunt Luo’s permission, we went over to see the baby! But there was a bit of a hiccup!"

Lu Zheng quickly asked, "What happened?"
