258 Aunt Mo, Did I Say Something Wrong?
Atlas StudiosAtlas Studios
Shen Rou felt good when she saw how unhappy Madam Mo looked.
As long as Madam Mo didnt like Qiao Mianmian, she wouldnt have a good time in the Mo family.
She pretended to be in deep thought for a few seconds before saying, I think Mianmians family isnt so well off and shes afraid that you wont agree to her relationship with Ah Si. Thats why she wanted Ah Si to keep things quiet first.
In that case, your disapprovals would be useless.
You mean, she made Ah Si do this?
Shen Rou pursed her lips. I know Ah Si, he isnt the sort to disrespect his family. This shouldnt be his own idea. Hes giving in to her now, so I suppose this is her idea.
Madam Mo clenched her fist. Ah Si places so much value in her?
Aunt Mo, if you were there on that day, youd understand. Shen Rou sighed. Do you know, Ah Si actually fell out with Zeli over her. Theyve been good buddies for years, but it happened anyway.
Ah Si and Zeli have never quarreled before, that night was probably their first. Ah Si is very protective of his wife and wouldnt allow anyone to say anything negative about her.
This is the first time I see Ah Si care so much for a person. To be honest, itd be scary if Mianmian means more to him than his own mother.

Shen Rou was smart enough to know what would agitate Madam Mo.
She also knew what mattered to Madam Mo and what didnt.
As she guessed, Madam Mo was furious now.
Aunt Mo, did I say something wrong? She tugged at her arm and asked in concern. Dont be too upset, its just my speculation. Back then, youd gone through so much to give birth to Ah Si taking hundreds of jabs and lying in bed for close to a year
Ah Si is a filial son, he surely sees you as the most important person in his life.
Madam Mo kept silent.
Having achieved her goal, Shen Rou knew she didnt have to say anything more.
She looked towards Qiao Mianmian again and saw Old Madam handing her a box. She didnt have to see what it was inside to know that it must be an expensive gift.
A flicker of hatred flashed in her eyes as she quietly said, Aunt Mo, no matter how angry you are now, you cant show it. Otherwise, Old Madam would get angry at you.
Madam Mo obviously knew that too.
Shed been holding back all this while precisely because Old Madam was present.
Otherwise, she wouldve chased that shameless woman out by now.
Shen Rou was right.
Her son wasnt one to disrespect her.
He wouldnt hide something as important as a marriage from them.
Hence, this must have been Qiao Mianmians idea.
Now, Madam Mo wasnt just dissatisfied with Qiao Mianmian. She detested her.
And simply couldnt tolerate her.
Rou Rou, dont worry. Madam Mo took a deep breath and grabbed Shen Rous hand as she consoled her. I want you as my daughter-in-law, and nobody else. Only you are good enough for my Ah Si.
But Shen Rou looked hurt. Ah Si is already married.
