CHAPTER 559: CHAPTER 559: UNFILIAL SON

Huang Huijuan felt quite confident in front of Jiang Yingxue.

The confidence naturally came from Shen Siyuan. My son is amazing, so brilliant; all of you need to ask for my son’s help, and naturally, you need to ask me too.

Although Huang Huijuan lacked social experience and didn’t really understand the ways of the world, she was not dumb at all.

"Mother relies on her son’s status" — how could she not understand this?

But now, things had changed. Even if Jiang Yingxue just glanced at her, she felt a wave of guilt.

She felt she was in the wrong and owed something to the other person.

What a good girl Ruan Ruan is, but he doesn’t know how to cherish her!

Frustrated, Huang Huijuan directly questioned, "How could you do such a thing? Ruan Ruan is such a good girl. Do you really think you’ve treated her right? Where’s your conscience?"

Then she lowered her voice and said softly, "Break it off with the other person quickly; I won’t tell Ruan Ruan for now."

Indeed a true mom, still thinking of covering up for Shen Siyuan at this time.

"Ruan Ruan knows."

Huang Huijuan: (⊙ꇴ⊙)

"She... she doesn’t object? She didn’t have a big fight with you? She didn’t break up with you? She..."

"Stop, stop, nothing you imagined happened; we get along very well." Shen Siyuan waved his hand to stop her endless questioning.

Huang Huijuan was stunned for a moment and then remarked, "You young people sure play with fire."

Shen Siyuan: ...

"So, this Jiang Taoshi, what kind of girl is she, and how did you meet?" Huang Huijuan asked with some curiosity.

"You know that I met Ruan Ruan through a blind date, right?"

Huang Huijuan nodded. Shen Siyuan had mentioned this before, as Ruan Hongzhuang and Shen Siyuan were practically people from parallel lines, with almost no overlap if not for meeting through a blind date.

"Actually, the one I originally went on a blind date with wasn’t Ruan Ruan, but Taozi — Taozi is Jiang Taoshi. Her cousin works at the same company as me, and because I helped her out with a little matter, she introduced her cousin to me. By the way, her cousin is actually Dou Dou’s mom..."

Huang Huijuan suddenly realized the logical relationship here.

"Then how did you meet Ruan Ruan?"

"Because Taozi is not only Ruan Ruan’s secretary but also her best friend. They’ve been friends for many years. Being worried that her friend might get deceived, Ruan Ruan tagged along that day, and since Taozi left temporarily due to some greed for food, I mistook Ruan Ruan for Taozi. Unexpectedly, we both hit it off..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Huijuan finally understood the whole story.

But she still rolled her eyes at Shen Siyuan.

"Since you and Ruan Ruan hit it off, why did you still mess with Miss Jiang? I look down on you."

"Uh... It doesn’t matter. You’re my mom, and whether you look up to me or not, it’s of no consequence."

Shen Siyuan seemed utterly unbothered, infuriating Huang Huijuan to the point where she wanted to hit him.

However, she quickly displayed a look of curiosity again.

"How did you manage to make both of them coexist peacefully, without fighting or arguing?"

"Because I’m amazing," Shen Siyuan joked.

Huang Huijuan looked disdainful and said, "What kind of amazing? I ask you, have both of them... um... engaged in a relationship with you?"

"Mom, you know our relationship, but do you need to ask in such detail?"

"Answer my question," Huang Huijuan insisted firmly.

"We all live together, what do you think?"

Huang Huijuan snorted disdainfully, "I thought you were really amazing. It’s all pretense; you’ve got two women, how come none of them are pregnant?"

Shen Siyuan: ...

"Mom, we’re not married yet. Do you expect us to have kids before marriage?"

"You’ve got two women and still care about having kids before marriage? Besides, you’re going to marry Ruan Ruan after the New Year, so there’s not much time. Even if there is, it wouldn’t really matter..."

"This isn’t something to consider right now."

"How could you not consider it? This is the most important thing. Let me tell you, you should have a child sooner."

"What, do you want to help me take care of the child?"

"Why not? Wasn’t it me who raised you?"

"Can you say that without guilt? My growing up was mostly thanks to Grandma and my dad." Shen Siyuan had much to say about this.

Huang Huijuan didn’t take care of him much, considering he was young, and barely took care of him at all.

"Nonsense, I spent plenty of energy on you," Huang Huijuan retorted, highly dissatisfied.

"Yeah, the biggest energy spent was when you gave birth to me."

"You know it well." Huang Huijuan said proudly.

Shen Siyuan was at a loss for words. In other families, after giving birth, the mother would have to learn how to take care of the child gradually, but in their family, she pretty much didn’t bother after giving birth, other than feeding occasionally. The everyday care was mostly left to Grandma and his dad.

One could only say that Huang Huijuan was blessed to meet a great husband like Shen Jianjun, who cared for her in every aspect, ensuring she didn’t have to worry about anything in life.

Not wanting to continue this topic with her, Shen Siyuan said directly, "You’ve met Ruan Ruan, and when Taozi returns, be courteous, okay? Don’t give her an attitude."

"Alright, since Ruan Ruan doesn’t mind, why should I be unhappy? You young ones solve your young people’s issues yourself," Huang Huijuan was open-minded about this.

"That’s good then."

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan also felt a weight lifted off his mind. Since he couldn’t give Taozi an official status, he shouldn’t let her suffer unnecessary grievances either.

"By the way, when you have your wedding with Ruan Ruan after the New Year, what about Miss Jiang? You can’t have two weddings, right? Would Miss Jiang be willing to remain like this, nameless and unrecognized?"

"I’ll handle these matters myself, don’t worry about them." Shen Siyuan replied, a bit troubled.

Nowadays is not the ancient times, where multiple wives were acceptable; of course, if one doesn’t care for official recognition, it’s fine. Today, some wealthy people have wilder lifestyles than the ancients did.

Shen Siyuan had heard from Ruan Hongzhuang about his father-in-law’s friends who indeed kept the home fires burning brightly and indulged in external affairs extravagantly, with strings of illegitimate children everywhere, not giving their loins a moment’s rest.

Actually, Shen Siyuan wanted to ask if Father-in-law was the same, but considering it was his father-in-law, he held back out of courtesy and didn’t ask.

"I’d rather not care," Huang Huijuan said disdainfully.

Then she got up to leave the room but nearly locked eyes with Jiang Yingxue, which made her sit back down awkwardly.

"Does Aunt Jiang know about this?"

"Probably not," Shen Siyuan thought for a moment and said.

Ruan Hongzhuang wouldn’t tell her mom about such matters, and the incident happened after Jiang Yingxue left, so she likely didn’t know.

Huang Huijuan felt even more uneasy hearing this, her demeanor anxious, "Look at these messes you’ve made. What if Aunt Jiang finds out? Also... what if she questions me, what should I even say to her."

Glaring at Shen Siyuan, for Jiang Yingxue’s sake, she really wanted to punch this troublesome son right now.

Such a troublemaker, trapping his mom in such a passive situation.
