Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1234 - 1233: Shifting Responsibility

"Why are you ignoring me now? Yes, you must find me annoying, so you’re not interested in me at all, can’t even respond to me. I get it now, I’m just dispensable to you."

After hearing Ye Jingli’s outburst, and seeing that his son wasn’t nearby, Xiao Zhen finally didn’t have to restrain his emotions.

"Do you know what you look like right now? I’ve been working hard to get you into the family, but what about you? You’ve been constantly blaming me. Is all of this my fault? And our son has been enduring so much for you, even struggling with his studies, yet you vent all of your anger on him. Don’t you think you’re being too much?"

At this moment, Xiao Zhen felt a fire burning in his chest, extremely angry. How could it be like this?

Ye Jingli laughed immediately after hearing Xiao Zhen complimenting their son, saying it’s because of her that he couldn’t focus on studying.

"I can see you don’t understand our son’s situation at all. He wasn’t good at studying before, and you didn’t seem to care back then. But now you’re pinning all the blame on me. Don’t you think you’re being unfair too? You did nothing to help before, yet you’re standing there criticizing me now?"

"And do you think our son is such a gem? Didn’t you hear what he just said to me? He never wanted me to come back. Deep down, he doesn’t even see me as his mom. How do you expect me to treat him well?"

Mentioning Xiao Keyu, Ye Jingli felt particularly frustrated, especially after hearing her own son talk like that. Even enemies can grow close over time, yet she raised a thankless ingrate.

Now, she could only count on the child in her womb. Thinking of the baby inside her, she immediately placed a hand on her belly, feeling a lot better, hoping this child would at least be dependable.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen immediately felt that his son’s words were right. How did Ye Jingli become like this? She was no different from those malicious women out there.

"I really have nothing to say to you now. Maybe our son is right, maybe my father is right too. You think being pregnant is so great. If you’re so biased against our son, I truly hope no more innocent children come from you. You have no compassion for kids; your previous care for our son was just an act. You’re truly terrifying."

Thinking about this, Xiao Zhen felt a chill down his spine. Ye Jingli used to be the most doting towards their son, couldn’t bear to see him hurt in any way, yet she turned out like this. Was all that tenderness before just an act? If so, that’s truly terrifying.

But Ye Jingli was heartbroken again and again. She used to be good to their son because she thought he was useful, and he was obedient at the time. But now, their son treats her like this, and yet Xiao Zhen keeps defending him. What should she do?

"Brother Zhen, listen to me, it’s not like that at all. My stomach really hurts now, could you come look after me? Even the maid just left."

Listening to Ye Jingli’s tearful voice, if it was Xiao Zhen’s past self, he would’ve dropped everything and run to her. But this time, he only let out a cold laugh.

"Can anyone else be blamed? Shouldn’t it be your own fault? The maid is so good-natured, even she abandoned you. Don’t you think there’s something wrong with you? Still whining to me here. If you can handle it, deal with it yourself. If not, call an ambulance."

After finishing, Xiao Zhen hung up the phone. Seeing the disconnected call, Ye Jingli wanted to smash her phone but, looking at her heavy belly, she had to restrain herself, feeling furious with her son.

How could he be so clueless? Dare to spout nonsense in front of Xiao Zhen. Seems like this is all because of her son. Thinking of her son, she felt even angrier than towards Xiao Keyi.

"I’ve raised you for over a decade, yet never thought you would treat me like this."

After speaking, Ye Jingli looked towards her belly. She used to plan for Xiao Keyu, now she had to plan for the child in her womb.

As long as the child inside her gains favor from the old man and Xiao Zhen, this child could rise from rags to riches, and she could reach high status, gaining status through the child.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingli was no longer angry, cautiously holding her belly, just hoping this child would do well.

"Don’t worry, little one. As long as mom’s here, she’ll protect you well. As for others, mom will gradually clear away any obstacles for you. Just remember mom’s kindness as you grow, take good care of her, then mom will be satisfied."

After finishing, Ye Jingli felt a movement in her belly, instantly increasing her focus on the child inside, deciding not to hurt the child in future arguments.

After hanging up, Xiao Zhen went to his son’s room, noticing he was already asleep. He sighed deeply.

He used to think it was the old man who was prejudiced against Ye Jingli, but now even their son couldn’t get along with her. Seems like ever since getting pregnant, not only did Ye Jingli’s temper worsen, but she also had mental issues.

But no matter what, the child in Ye Jingli’s womb was still his. Grabbing his car keys, he went to the underground parking lot to get his car.

He unexpectedly ran into Xiao Keyi, who was also holding her car keys and humming a song.

Originally, Xiao Zhen wanted to get out and ask her, but, remembering their earlier argument, he slammed the steering wheel in frustration, watching as his daughter drove off. Driven by curiosity, he decided to follow her car, though Xiao Keyi remained unaware.

Earlier, Xu Ke had called, saying the promotional shoot could start in the afternoon, so Xiao Keyi planned to check it out, as she had handled most of the company’s affairs.

It had been a good while since she last saw Xu Ke. She wondered if he’d still be excited to see her. Thinking this, Xiao Keyi sped up.

Just then, a large truck came barrelling through, while Xiao Keyi was busy selecting a song and didn’t notice it at all.

Seeing this from behind, Xiao Zhen felt his heart leap into his throat, urgently trying to drive his car in the way of the truck, to bear the impact for his daughter.
