"Mom, eldest brother also said that it will be fine if we don't manage the company. We will take the shares and get dividends."
Jian Yujie refuted He Yan's point of view and tried to prove to her that things were not as bad as she thought.
"Don't be naive. Do you think the Jian family will still have a place for us at that time?" He Yan couldn't listen to such words at all.
"Mom, don't think about things so badly..."
"Did I think things were bad?" He Yan suddenly laughed, with tears streaming from her eyes:
"When I was eight years old, my dad died on a construction site. The construction site didn't pay us a dime. My mother was counting the money to get by. She didn't know how she was going to survive the next month. She was also facing being evicted by the landlord. The dangers of homelessness.”
"Later, she took me to remarry a divorced man, and our life was a little better. But that man would beat us whenever he drank. I was cautious every day, and I was afraid that I would do something wrong when I saw that bastard's face. If I get beaten for anything, I'm even more afraid of being kicked out of the house and living on the street."
"I know that I don't have a good background, and I know that many people look down on me. I still have to be careful after marrying into the Jian family. I'm afraid of making my parents-in-law unhappy, and I'm afraid of losing this family and losing your father."
"What am I doing now for? I just don't want to live a life of looking at other people's faces in the future! I just want to live with confidence!"
He Yan roared with tears streaming down her face.
Jian Yujie stood there dumbly, not knowing how to respond.
His mother's cry was like a sharp sword stabbing his chest.
Jian Yujie faced collapse for the first time in his life.
He Yan continued to yell at Jian Yujie at the top of her lungs: "Go ahead and show the video to your uncle and your cousin! Then they will show it to your grandparents and ask them to kick me out!"
"No, they won't..." Jian Yujie kept shaking his head.
"Are you sure your grandparents wouldn't do that?"
Jian Yujie is not sure.
Harming family members and causing discord is Grandpa's biggest taboo.
And what his mother did was damaging the relationship between the Jian family.
"Mom, can I not tell them that the video was obtained from you? Mom, I beg you." Jian Yujie held He Yan's arm and begged in a low voice.
"Do you think your uncle and they are fools? If the video is handed over to you, won't they ask you about the source of the video? With your brain, can you deceive them?"
He Yan blocked all Jian Yujie's suggestions.
He was forced to choose between Jian Yiling and his mother.
And how could Jian Yujie make a choice.
On one side is his beloved sister Yiling!
On the other side is his mother!
Although she had many disagreements with him, she was still the mother who gave birth to him and raised him!
Jian Yujie finally couldn't bear it anymore, squatted down, held his head and cried sadly.
He collapsed.
He had no choice.
He didn't understand why he had to be forced to make a choice.
He doesn't want to do anything to disgrace Yiling's sister, nor does he want to hurt his mother!
He Yan stepped forward, knelt down and hugged Jian Yujie: "Yujie, can you listen to your mother and forget about today's things? Just pretend you didn't see anything and leave it to your mother to handle it, okay? You don't Nothing will happen to Jian Yiling when the video is released. She is still protected by the old lady, but her mother is different. I will be forced to divorce your father. I will leave this home, I will lose you, and I will have nothing. of."
"Go away! Leave me alone for a while!" Jian Yujie's voice was hoarse and choked with sobs.
"Okay, mom won't force you, just think about it carefully."
He Yan knew that she couldn't push Jian Yujie too hard.
He Yan left the room, leaving Jian Yujie alone in the study.
Jian Yujie stayed alone in the study until midnight.
He looked out the window dully.
Look at the night, the moon, and the shadows of the trees.
My body feels colder than ever...
