I’m Secretly Married to a Big Shot - Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Do Nothing but Strain Your Mother-And-Son Relationship!

If she rejected even this, it’d seem insensible of her.

She hesitated and looked up at him.

Mo Yesi knew what her considerations were and replied on her behalf, “Grandma just wants to invite a few close friends for this banquet, of course that’s fine. Just let Mianmian and I know the details when you’ve arranged for it. As for the meal between the two families, we’ll let you know when we’ve found the time.”

“Alright, that’s settled then.”

Madam Mo and Old Madam stood at the fountain, watching as the black Rolls-Royce disappeared into the distance.

Old Madam reluctantly looked away.

She turned around, only to see Madam Mo who was equally upset at their departure. “Wenpei, what’s with you today? Do you have something against Mianmian?”

Madam Mo was shocked to hear that.

She seemed a little flustered as she said, “Mom, why would you think that way? What could I have against Mianmian.”

Old Madam kept her eyes on her and expressed her doubt. “You really don’t have anything against her? Then why didn’t you take the bowl of soup that Mianmian scooped for you? Wenpei, don’t think that you’ve got to establish your dominance and status over your daughter-in-law. You know your son well. Do you think he’ll be alright with you treating his wife this way?”

Madam Mo wasn’t happy to hear this. “What can he do about it, I’m his mom.”

Was he really going to get angry with his biological mother for an outsider?

Old Madam furrowed her brows and got a little stern. “So what if you’re his mom. Don’t you blame me for not reminding you—given your son’s temper, angering him would do nothing but strain your mother-and-son relationship.

“Don’t you know what your son is like? It took him so long to finally find a woman he loves. He cares for and dotes on her so much, he wouldn’t even let his mother put her through any misery. Wenpei, if you really want your relationship with your son to remain as it is, it’s best you treat your daughter-in-law better.

“Even if you don’t like her, don’t show it in front of Ah Si. Didn’t you realize that he was a lot colder towards you today? Even an old lady like me can tell the subtleties, do you think he can’t sense what you’re trying to do?”

Madam Mo’s expression darkened slightly.

Her son was indeed colder to her today.

He wasn’t as affectionate as the previous times he came home.

It was especially obvious after she refused to take the bowl of soup from Qiao Mianmian.

Madam Mo felt angry, hurt, and disappointed all at once.

She just acted a little distant to his wife, did he really have to do this in response?

Was this really the son she’d raised and loved for over 20 years?

“Also, since Ah Si has already settled down in his marriage now, it’s time you stop entertaining other thoughts. I’ve already made things clear with the girl from the Shen family. She’s a sensible girl, I believe she’ll stop having any thoughts of being with Ah Si.”

Old Madam was very aware of the situation.

She could see that Madam Mo was unhappy with Qiao Mianmian and would very much rather have Shen Rou as her daughter-in-law instead.

All that she said to Madam Mo at this point wasn’t just a form of persuasion, but also a reminder and a warning.

She was very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law at the moment and did not want to deal with anybody who made things difficult for her.
