Chapter 167 Taking Mom Away
Meng Shuqin was completely unaware that Shen Qingyao had already come to regard her as someone who was not quite right in the head.
At this moment, she was still all smiles, gentle and kind, gently shaking her head, while tightening her grip on Shen Qingyao's soft and boneless little hand.
"Mom is really fine, nothing's wrong at all. Ah Yao, look at this table full of delicious food, all of which Mom personally supervised the chefs in the kitchen to carefully prepare for you! Every dish was prepared according to your taste and preferences, so hurry up and try it, and see if it suits your taste?"
Meng Shuqin's enthusiasm was even greater than before, and her already kind face was now beaming like the most radiant flower in spring.
Looking at Meng Shuqin, who was even more attentive and eager than before, Shen Qingyao became more and more certain that this elder must have been greatly shocked by the news that she and her son were going to divorce.
Upon thinking of this, a deep sense of guilt instantly surged into her heart like a tidal wave, enveloping her completely.
"Okay, Mom. Don't worry, I'll definitely enjoy it."
Shen Qingyao quickly agreed, then obediently picked up her bowl and chopsticks and began to enjoy the sumptuous meal in front of her, occasionally sipping a few mouthfuls of nourishing soup.
Seeing Shen Qingyao eating so obediently, Meng Shuqin's smile became even brighter and more satisfied.
However, beneath this seemingly harmonious and beautiful facade, Meng Shuqin secretly sighed repeatedly:
Alas, if only Ayao hadn't separated from my son! If they were to actually end up divorcing, given Ayao's strong and independent personality, she would probably choose to leave this young marshal's mansion without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Meng Shuqin couldn't help but sigh heavily again, feeling increasingly heavy-hearted and depressed.
Meng Shuqin couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. If Ayao were not her daughter-in-law, but her own daughter, how wonderful that would be!
In this way, even if she and Si Jingnian eventually part ways and divorce, A Yao would not have to leave the young marshal's mansion.
Thinking of this, Meng Shuqin gazed at Shen Qingyao with hopeful eyes, her gaze seemingly speaking volumes, revealing endless earnestness.
"Ayao, if you're leaving the Young Marshal's Mansion, can you take Mom with you?"
Just then, Shen Qingyao, who was leisurely sipping her soup, was suddenly shocked by these words. Caught off guard, she choked on a mouthful of hot soup.
Then came a violent coughing fit, as if the person was coughing up their heart and lungs.
This is truly something I've never seen before! Shen Qingyao inwardly groaned; she had never heard of such an absurd request in her entire life.
What kind of mother-in-law would ask her daughter-in-law to leave with her when her son and daughter-in-law are having a falling out?
Could it be that my mother-in-law really intends to abandon her own son, Si Jingnian?
Was she so severely traumatized that she completely forgot that Si Jingnian was her own biological son?
Seeing that Shen Qingyao was choking so badly, Meng Shuqin didn't care about anything else. She hurriedly patted Shen Qingyao's back to help her catch her breath and quickly poured her a glass of warm water.
She asked anxiously, "Ah Yao, what's wrong with you? Are you alright? Quickly drink some water and calm down!"
Shen Qingyao coughed until her face turned red and her eyes were filled with tears. It took a lot of effort for the thunderous coughing to gradually subside.
"Mom, please don't say such scary things again!"
After finally calming herself down a bit, Shen Qingyao looked at Meng Shuqin with a helpless and speechless expression. She took a deep look at her and slowly spoke.
When Meng Shuqin heard Shen Qingyao's words, her previously calm face instantly crumpled up, as if it had been crumpled into a ball of waste paper, making her look extremely aggrieved.
“Ah Yao, Mom is very serious, I’m definitely not joking with you. Mom knows in her heart that it must be that brat Si Jingnian who made you so angry that you want to divorce him.”
As Meng Shuqin spoke, she reached out and gently patted Shen Qingyao's shoulder to show her understanding and support.
Immediately afterward, Meng Shuqin paused slightly, then looked at Shen Qingyao with expectant eyes and said sincerely:
"However, Mommy has a small request. My dear daughter, if you're planning to leave this home, could you take Mommy with you? Okay?"
At this moment, there was not a trace of joking on Meng Shuqin's face, and it was clear that she said these words from the bottom of her heart and from the bottom of her heart.
In fact, Meng Shuqin had already thought it through. Even if Shen Qingyao ultimately decided to divorce her son, as long as she stayed close to Shen Qingyao, her son would inevitably come looking for Shen Qingyao often because of her.
With such repeated contact, the young couple might soon be able to resolve their conflict and reconcile.
Shen Qingyao never expected that Si Jingnian would tell Meng Shuqin so quickly about their plan to divorce after just returning home!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of indescribable displeasure.
What kind of mentality drove Si Jingnian to eagerly reveal their impending divorce to his mother the moment he stepped into his home?
Has he already accepted his request for a divorce?
Or perhaps she had long been unable to suppress her eagerness to end the marriage?
Or perhaps Si Jingnian is actually a person without any personal opinions, who has to report to his mother on everything, big or small, and is always like a child who has never grown up.
Regardless of which of the above scenarios applies, at this moment, Shen Qingyao inevitably harbors some resentment and dissatisfaction towards Si Jingnian.
Thinking about how Si Jingnian showed absolutely no intention of trying to salvage the situation when faced with the divorce, his clean, decisive, and unambiguous attitude was striking.
Shen Qingyao suddenly felt as if a large wad of cotton had been stuffed into her chest, making her feel extremely blocked and uncomfortable.
Soon, Shen Qingyao suddenly realized the conflicting emotions hidden deep within her heart, and couldn't help but secretly despise herself.
She was the one who initiated the divorce, so why did she feel so unbalanced when Si Jingnian agreed without hesitation?
Complex and indescribable emotions surged into Shen Qingyao's heart like a raging fire, making her restless and almost insane.
At the same time, a fierce and uncontrollable aura surged from her chest once again, like a ferocious beast roaring and struggling within her, trying to break free of its restraints.
