A burst of footsteps came from behind, and Yin Yue, dressed in black, walked out casually. “Finally, you’re willing to come back,” she said.
“How about it, have you thought it through?” Yin Yue asked calmly, sipping her tea.
Siyehan glanced at the woman, his face expressionless. “I’m just here to inform you that next month is my wedding with Ni Wuyi.”
In the next moment, there was a loud crash as Yin Yue smashed the cup in her hand directly on the ground.
The flying shards headed straight towards Siyehan, leaving a cut on his neck.
“So, are you determined to defy me? All for that woman and her illegitimate child?” Yin Yue’s face contorted with extreme anger.
The moment she mentioned “illegitimate child,” Siyehan’s eyes flashed like ice daggers. “Watch your words.”
Yin Yue chuckled lightly, her beautiful face distorted by intense fury. “Ah Jiu, I’ve said it before, don’t push me. Mother doesn’t want to see you marry a corpse.”
Lin Que, who was trying to stay inconspicuous nearby, couldn’t help but silently comment to himself. Who in their right mind would make their own son drink deadly poison?
But Jiu Ge was indeed a peculiar one. Despite the excruciating pain caused by the poison, he would obediently drink it a second, third, or fourth time, all because she was his mother.
On the side, Yin Heng watched the mother and son’s intense standoff without saying a word. “Big brother, Mother only wants what’s best for you…”
Before Yin Heng could continue, a bone-chilling glare suddenly shot his way, rendering him speechless.
Siyehan withdrew his gaze from Yin Heng. “You already have an heir. There’s no need to bring me back.”
Yin Yue smiled gently, “Of course, you’re Mother’s most perfect creation.”
Upon hearing this, Yin Heng’s gaze subtly flickered.
A mocking coldness played at the corners of Siyehan’s lips. “Is that so? You’re too kind.”
“Ah Jiu, my obedient son, your experience in matters of the heart is too limited. You’ve been deceived by that woman. You’ve only met a few women, and you think no one compares to her?” Yin Yue scoffed coldly. “Huh, that Nie Wuyi actually used a child to trap you. How could you fall for such a crude scheme?”
Perhaps trying to use a soft approach, Yin Yue continued, “Ah Jiu, Vice Chairman Qin has a good relationship with Mother and intends to form an alliance with our family. His daughter, Qin Xiyuan, is extraordinarily talented in martial arts and is known as the most beautiful woman in Tianshui City. Her family has held high positions in the Arbitration Council for generations. How does that not surpass that wild girl from a small border state?”
