She had disliked this woman for a long time but had tolerated her out of consideration for her being Chi Yiyuan's mother.
She hadn't expected that the woman would escalate her actions and trample her precious Xiaotian underfoot.
What was the relationship between Chi Yiyuan and Xiaotian? Did she, as his mother, not know?
For so many years, the two children had been fine. How could it be so sordid in this woman's mouth?
Yu Xiyue clearly hadn't expected that Liang Xiu, this country woman, could speak such words with such confidence.
What did she mean by her daughter being the sunshine in her son's heart?
Was a country girl worthy?
But before she could retort, she heard Chi Yiyuan speak.
Chi Yiyuan's voice was very clear, gentle, and soft.
"With sunshine in one's heart, all things are warm. Xiaotian, you gave me warmth during my darkest moments, and I will never forget it in this lifetime!"
As Chi Yiyuan said this, his gaze was fixed on Su Xiaotian.
However, before turning his gaze to Su Xiaotian, Chi Yiyuan had actually glanced at Yu Xiyue.
Yu Xiyue saw that glance very clearly; it seemed to be a look of disappointment, or perhaps even a hint of contempt and disdain.
Listening to her son's gentle voice and thinking about the look he had given her, Yu Xiyue clenched her fists.
From the beginning until now, all she had heard was her son's cold voice. She hadn't expected that her son would actually speak in such a tone.
She was greatly shocked and even took a step back, her feet unsteady!
Her son considered such a country girl to be the sun in his heart?
After so many years, had her son fallen to such a state?
At this moment, Chi Yiyuan spoke again.
"Ms. Yu, if you have nothing else, please don't disturb other people's gathering!"
Chi Yiyuan's words were purely to exclude Yu Xiyue.
Even though she didn't particularly like this son and hadn't expected a mother-son bond of affection, being treated like this by her son was something no mother could accept.
If it were an unreasonable woman, she would probably have a hysterical outburst.
But Yu Xiyue's upbringing prevented her from completely losing face at this moment.
Yu Xiyue left. As she walked away, although her back was still straight, it was somewhat stiff.
Because of Yu Xiyue's arrival, the atmosphere had become somewhat unpleasant.
Su Xiaotian didn't say much.
She had never expected Chi Yiyuan's mother to have such a personality.
After finishing the meal in silence, Grandpa Su said to Chi Ge, "Do you want to go back for a bit?"
Although this daughter-in-law was indeed not great, they were family after all, and there was nothing that couldn't be discussed openly.
Chi Ge shook his head, "Forget it. She doesn't live at home. Even if Xiao Yuan and I go home, we won't see her."
He knew some news about his son and daughter-in-law.
He knew that the couple was currently in Germany, but he wasn't really clear about what they were doing there.
However, he couldn't deny that he had always hoped that one day his son and daughter-in-law would return, and the family would be reunited.
He had never imagined that his daughter-in-law would return to the country for a week before coming to see them.
And when she did see them, she was so imperious.
It was a lie to say he wasn't disappointed.
He could bear it, but his son, Yiyuan, must have been feeling uneasy.
As Chi Ge spoke, he looked at Chi Yiyuan, his gaze filled with a bit more...
Chi Yiyuan smiled indifferently and said, "Grandpa, I don't mind anymore. I've grown up!"
For many years, Chi Yiyuan had actually carried a knot in his heart.
Even a week ago, he still longed for his parents' affection.
But when she returned to China, she didn't visit him, her son, first. Instead, she went around asking questions.
After all, she had been away for many years. Although Yu Xiyue had been very careful when inquiring, Chi Yiyuan had still found out.
From then on, Chi Yiyuan's heart had turned cold.
This was not the family affection he wanted.
He wanted the kind of affection the Su family had.
A family living together, living a harmonious life.
Su Xiaotian saw the disappointment on Chi Yiyuan's gentle face.
She suddenly felt that Chi Yiyuan was a very pitiable person, unable to obtain what he desired.
Having been together for so many years, Su Xiaotian actually understood Chi Yiyuan to some extent.
What he wanted was very simple, yet even such a simple request could not be fulfilled.
Meeting such a mother, it was perhaps Chi Yiyuan's misfortune.
"Brother Yiyuan, you should still talk to her properly. After all, you are mother and son!"
Chi Yiyuan smiled slightly and stroked Su Xiaotian's hair.
Talk?
Was there still a need to talk?
But this was the little girl's request. What could he do?
Finally, Chi Yiyuan spoke.
"Xiaotian, it's enough to have you by my side!"
After all these years, this radiant and warm little girl had always been the most important person in his life!
As for those who were destined to leave long ago, it was better to ignore them!
That night, Su Xiaotian tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
In a daze, she seemed to see Chi Yiyuan from her previous life.
That successful man lacked the gentle demeanor of the current Chi Yiyuan, instead exuding a coldness.
What he encountered in this life might have been encountered by Chi Yiyuan in his previous life as well.
It was precisely because of these experiences that Chi Yiyuan's heart had become much colder.
When Su Xiaotian woke up, she was covered in sweat.
She dazedly thought about matters related to Chi Yiyuan in her past and present lives, but she still couldn't sort them out.
When Su Xiaotian thought of Yu Xiyue, she felt a chill.
What kind of cold and heartless person was she to wait a week to see her biological son after not seeing him for many years?
Su Xiaotian didn't expect that the next day, she would see this cold and heartless Yu Xiyue, whom she had imagined, again at the school gate.
Seeing a hint of fatigue on the face of that still exquisite woman, Su Xiaotian was somewhat surprised.
She had thought this woman was heartless.
When Yu Xiyue saw Su Xiaotian, her heart also felt heavy.
She hadn't slept at all the previous night.
Every time she closed her eyes, her son's indifferent face appeared before her.
Her son was so indifferent to her, his own mother, yet he cared so much about an unrelated young girl.
She had originally thought she wouldn't care, as this son had faded from her life.
Her purpose for coming this time was merely out of responsibility, nothing more.
But she hadn't expected to care after all.
After much thought, Yu Xiyue felt that Su Xiaotian was hindering Chi Yiyuan, slowing him down, and also causing the rift between her son and herself.
She would now help her son solve this problem and let her son know what choice he should make.
And then take her son back to Germany, so that her son would know who his real family was!
