"Husband, why are you so good to me?"
Yan Xi saw the goodness that Fu Yan Ting showed her.
Yan Xi loved spicy food, to the point of being unable to live without it. However, Fu Yan Ting had a delicate stomach and could not eat spicy food.
To accommodate Yan Xi's taste, Fu Yan Ting began to try eating spicy food. In the years Yan Xi was away from Fu Yan Ting, Yan Xi herself had no idea how many times Fu Yan Ting had been hospitalized due to eating spicy food.
No wonder Xin Yi's attitude towards Yan Xi was not good. Xin Yi was clearly manipulated. Fu Yan Ting's condition was all Yan Xi's fault.
Yan Xi knew that Xin Yi did not like her, but Yan Xi could not get angry at Xin Yi.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Husband, do you have friends visiting?"
Fu Yan Ting shook his head, indicating no.
Fu Yan Ting was a person with a cleanliness obsession. Even Tang Jin and He Yun rarely visited their home, and Fu Yan Ting could not understand why there was a knock on the door.
Fu Yan Ting gave the servant a look. The servant understood and quickly went to open the door.
Upon opening the door and seeing Lin Qian standing there, the servant did not recognize her and asked politely, "Madam, Sir, who are you looking for?"
"Where is Fu Yan Ting? Tell him to come out and see me."
Lin Qian was too lazy to waste words with the servant. In Lin Qian's eyes, servants were of such low status that they were not worthy of speaking to her.
It was the first time the servant had encountered a woman who directly called their boss by name.
For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
The woman in front of her was clearly not to be trifled with.
The servant cautiously asked, "May I ask if Madam has an appointment? Our boss is usually very busy with work and does not receive guests when he is resting at home."
"Fu Yan Ting, if you don't want me to stand here and discuss matters, hurry up and come out to see me."
Lin Qian's arrogant attitude made the servant feel awkward.
Just then, Fu Yan Ting, holding Yan Xi's hand, came out from the dining room.
Upon seeing Lin Qian, Fu Yan Ting's expression turned extremely grim.
Lin Qian automatically ignored Fu Yan Ting's expression and, upon seeing Yan Xi, her gaze fixated on Yan Xi's abdomen.
The look made Yan Xi feel a chill down her spine.
Yan Xi, not understanding, hid behind Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting looked at Lin Qian indifferently and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"
"What kind of question is that? I am your mother, shouldn't I be here?"
Fu Yan Ting pursed his lips and did not respond to Lin Qian.
But Lin Qian was not to be outdone.
After a moment of silence, Lin Qian spoke again, "Fu Yan Ting, what kind of reaction is this? Is this how you should treat an elder?"
Facing Lin Qian's aggressive demeanor, Fu Yan Ting pretended not to hear.
For Fu Yan Ting, the most regrettable thing in his life was having a mother like Lin Qian.
If he could choose his birth, Fu Yan Ting would rather not be a young master of the Fu family than have any dealings with a woman like Lin Qian.
"Speak, I'm asking you a question."
Seeing that Fu Yan Ting was ignoring her and his attitude towards her was lukewarm, Lin Qian became even more enraged, and her tone towards Fu Yan Ting grew colder.
"Fu Yan Ting, I am your mother. What kind of attitude are you showing now? Do you still have me, your mother, in your eyes?"
The servant standing nearby was shocked upon hearing Lin Qian's words.
So this lady was the boss's mother.
She tried hard to recall if she had said anything harsh just now that might have angered the old madam.
However, Lin Qian was well-maintained and did not look like Fu Yan Ting's mother at all.
If she hadn't said it herself, the servant would have thought she and Fu Yan Ting were in an inappropriate relationship.
Fu Yan Ting did not expect Lin Qian to be so shameless as to say such a thing.
He looked at Lin Qian coldly and said word by word, "Mother? When I was five years old, I was kidnapped. It was all orchestrated by you. Your goal was to leave the Fu family. Your wish was granted, and now you come to tell me you are my mother."
Yan Xi never expected that Fu Yan Ting, whom she had saved as a child, had actually been kidnapped by his own mother.
Fu Yan Ting must have been very disappointed back then, full of suspicion towards everyone.
Thinking of this, Yan Xi's heartache for Fu Yan Ting deepened.
Lin Qian snorted at Fu Yan Ting, "Why are you so melodramatic? If it weren't for me, would you have met Yan Xi? In the end, you should be thanking me."
Yan Xi's lips twitched. If Lin Qian weren't Fu Yan Ting's mother, Yan Xi would have loved to rush up and punch her.
What kind of words were these?
She had harmed Fu Yan Ting herself, and now, not only did she not admit it, but she also expected Fu Yan Ting to thank her.
How could there be such a shameless person in this world?
Thinking of this, Yan Xi's good impression of Lin Qian decreased considerably. Originally, Yan Xi did not like this mother-in-law, but out of consideration for Fu Yan Ting, she had never openly fallen out with Lin Qian. Yan Xi had thought that perhaps there was a misunderstanding between Lin Qian and Fu Yan Ting, and if the misunderstanding could be resolved, their mother-son relationship could be repaired.
However, after hearing their conversation just now, Yan Xi roughly understood. Yan Xi's attitude towards Lin Qian naturally wouldn't be any better.
Lin Qian's attention shifted to Yan Xi. She looked Yan Xi up and down and said, "Fu Yan Ting, on the phone..."
"Xi Xi, you go back to your room and wait for me. Remember, no matter what happens, don't come out."
Lin Qian was interrupted by Fu Yan Ting before she could finish speaking.
However, Fu Yan Ting's words were directed at Yan Xi, not Lin Qian.
Lin Qian was ignored by Fu Yan Ting, and her expression became sinister and ferocious.
Yan Xi did not know why Fu Yan Ting wanted her to leave, but since Fu Yan Ting had said so, Yan Xi couldn't stay.
Yan Xi nodded and walked towards the bedroom.
After Yan Xi left, Lin Qian looked at Fu Yan Ting and questioned him word by word, "Fu Yan Ting, I was talking to Yan Xi, why did you make her leave? What exactly do you mean?"
Fu Yan Ting kept his lips tightly closed, ignoring Lin Qian.
But Lin Qian was not willing to give up. Seeing Fu Yan Ting turn to leave, Lin Qian quickly caught up, blocked his path, and questioned him, "I'm asking you a question, what kind of attitude is this? Where are your manners? Is this how the Fu family educates you?"
"Manners?"
Fu Yan Ting looked at Lin Qian, the corners of his mouth curving upwards slightly. That smile sent a shiver down Lin Qian's spine.
But Lin Qian still stood there pretending to be calm, staring at Fu Yan Ting. After a moment of silence, Fu Yan Ting spoke again, "You're talking about my manners, Ms. Lin. You seem to have forgotten that I don't even have a mother, so where would I get manners from?"
