Chapter 738 Provocation
Ling Mingyu couldn't keep a straight face, so he pointed at the stool and said, "Sit down!"
After the two of them sat down, Tian Ye said apologetically:
"Mom, I'm going to Korea on a business trip the day after tomorrow, so I'd like you to take care of Manou for a few days!"
Ling Mingyu, who had been teasing Manju, was naturally very happy when she heard Tian Ye say that he wanted to give the child to her.
"It's okay. It's no trouble at all. He's my eldest grandson. It just so happens that an old woman like me has nothing to do, so I have plenty of time to take care of Manju!"
However, when she thought about her son's divorce from Tian Ye, the smile on her face gradually faded, and she felt a little regretful.
Then Ling Mingyu opened up and said:
"What a shame! It's a shame that your buddy Mark got divorced. I always thought you two had such a good relationship. How come your relationship of so many years has suddenly come to this point? You're getting divorced just like that!"
Tian Ye said somewhat depressedly: “Mom, the divorce is not Mark’s fault!”
"I know!" Ling Mingyu sighed, pulled Tian Ye and said:
"Tian Ye, over the years, Mom has been the most caring to you and loves to tell you my true feelings. I really don't want to lose you, my child!"
"Mom, I don't want to lose you either. When I think about not being able to call you mom anymore!" Tian Ye covered his chest while speaking, and said emotionally: "My heart aches!"
"Why can't I just yell?" Ling Mingyu also wiped her tears and said, "I don't care why you and Mark divorced. Even if you are not my daughter-in-law, you are still my child!"
"Mom, I'm sorry!" Tian Ye also cried and cried together with Ling Mingyu.
At this time, Ling Mingyu suddenly asked knowingly: "By the way, the person you found again is Zhao Ling, Mark's best classmate, right?"
Tian Ye was shocked and the tears in his eyes dried up. He sat back awkwardly, thinking about a countermeasure.
Ling Mingyu continued to ask: "I think he looks very gentle, and he is very good to you, right?"
"Mom, we're not with him yet!" Tian Ye said quickly.
Ling Mingyu asked curiously: "But don't you all live together? I saw everything that day!"
"Zhao Ling rented one of his houses to me, but I didn't live with him!" Tian Ye explained.
"Oh!" Ling Mingyu felt relieved, but still had some doubts.
"Then tell mom the truth about you and Zhao Ling. What do you really think? Are you planning to marry him?" Ling Mingyu asked.
"He did propose to me, but I didn't agree. After all, I just got divorced, and it feels a bit bad to be so eager to get married. I still want to wait and make a decision!" Tian Ye said.
When Ling Mingyu heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened up, thinking that Tian Ye was hesitant and there was still room for recovery.
So Ling Mingyu suppressed his emotions, grabbed Tian Ye's hand and asked:
"Why? Hasn't he been waiting for you without getting married?"
Ling Mingyu's words instantly revealed that she knew the relationship between Tian Ye and Zhao Ling, but Tian Ye didn't care and said:
"I got divorced so I wouldn't have to worry about other people's feelings. I wanted to live for myself!"
"If I marry him, I have to adapt to him and his whole family. Why should I do that?"
Ling Mingyu shook her head and said, "Mom doesn't understand what you said, but I know you may have your own ideas!"
"But Mom just wants to ask you one question. Can you and Mark get back together?"
"Hey~!" Tian Ye said with a bitter smile on his face:
"Mom, I know you've been thinking about this, and you're also considering the long-term, but I divorced Mark after all, and it hurt Mark's heart. Plus, Zhao Ling and I are entangled, and I don't know how much he hates me now!"
Ling Mingyu thought that Tian Ye was regretful and felt that Mark and Tian Ye had a chance to remarry, so she quickly advised:
"Tian Ye, although you and Mark are divorced, have you ever thought about what to do with your children?"
"You guys are getting a happy divorce. If Mark marries another woman in the future, do you think your stepmother will take care of Mary and Manou like their biological mother?"
"Even if they can get along temporarily, if they have their own children in the future, have you ever thought about what kind of life Ma Li and Manou will live? Can you bear it?"
"To be honest, this is what I am most worried about!" Tian Ye then said with a relaxed look:
"It doesn't matter. If something like this happens in the future, I will just bring Ma Li and Manou to live with me!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Ling Mingyu advised anxiously:
"Tian Ye, listen to your mother's advice and remarry Mark. Give your child a complete home. It's not too late to reconcile with Mark now!"
However, Tian Ye lowered his head, a slight regret appeared in his eyes, and then he said bitterly:
"Mom, please stop talking. It's too late to say these things now. After all, Mark is already married. I can't ruin it~!"
"Hey, wait!" Ling Mingyu suddenly got a start and stood up abruptly, then asked incredulously: "What did you just say, Mark got married?"
"Ah~, um, Mom, you don't know yet?" Tian Ye asked in surprise.
After hearing what Tian Ye said, she thought Tian Ye regretted the divorce and there was a possibility of remarrying, but she found out that Mark was already married.
Ling Mingyu said angrily, "This is too outrageous. They can't wait to get married right after getting divorced."
At this time, Ling Mingyu was so angry that she was confused and completely forgot what Lin Hao had told her before. The only thing in her mind was that Lin Hao was married and she could not remarry Tian Ye. She was going to lose this caring daughter-in-law.
He looked at Tian Ye with sympathy and then said:
"No, I need to ask Mark clearly!" As he said that, he took out his cell phone and prepared to call Lin Hao!
"Don't!" Tian Ye stopped Ling Mingyu from making a phone call, and then begged:
"Mom, don't question Mark because of me. After all, I was the one who filed for divorce first. If he knew that I told you about this, he might think that I was gossiping about you behind your back!"
"This puts me in a difficult position. In Mark's eyes, I might be a bad woman who deliberately destroyed his current family!"
"Besides, it's not like no one wants me. Zhao Ling has been pursuing me, and he particularly likes Ma Li and Manou, just like his own children. Maybe it's a good thing for me and Mark to separate!"
"What is going on?" Ling Mingyu looked at the field and sighed.
At this moment, in her heart, she thought Tian Ye wanted to change his mind, but she was disheartened because Mark remarried.
Therefore, after Ling Mingyu was provoked by Tian Ye, she hated Lin Hao and Wang Xiaomi, whom she had never met, even more.
If Lin Hao hadn't gotten married so soon, she wouldn't have lost Tian Ye, a good daughter-in-law!
At this time, Ling Mingyu seemed to have thought of something, so he asked directly:
"By the way, what kind of person is this woman who married Mark? Do you know her?"
Tian Ye thought of the young Wang Xiaomi, and then said enviously: "I have never met her, I only know her name is Wang Xiaomi, but I saw her from a distance before, she is a very young girl, about twenty years old!"
Tian Ye saw that his goal had been achieved and it was not good to continue to tangle with Ling Mingyu, so he stood up with a painful face and said:
"Mom, I'll leave the agate to you. I have something else to do so I'll go back first!"
"Tian Ye, don't go, let's talk for a while!" Ling Mingyu still wanted to keep Tian Ye and find out about Wang Xiaomi's situation.
"Mom, have you forgotten what I just said? I can't say much about Mark's emotional problems!" After saying this, he greeted Manou and turned to leave the courtyard.
Looking at Tian Ye leaving, Ling Mingyu felt a little upset. She wanted to find Lin Hao, but was worried about getting Tian Ye into trouble.
But as he thought about it, Ling Mingyu gradually calmed down and always felt that something was wrong, but it was quickly covered up by other thoughts.
Ling Mingyu, who couldn't figure it out, decided to go find Lin Hao to ask for clarification and take a look at that Wang Xiaomi.
······
At the same time, Lin Hao left Wang Xiaomi's house and stopped monitoring Ling Mingyu and Tian Ye.
Then Lin Hao showed a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth: "You are really unwilling!"
Wang Xiaomi asked in confusion: "Husband, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I was thinking that Lily was home alone, why don't we take Lily with us to go shopping!"
"Okay, let's go!" Then he followed Lin Hao home.
Originally, when Lin Hao found out that Tian Ye went to find Ling Mingyu, he planned to keep Wang Xiaomi at home to accompany his mother-in-law, to continue to counsel her and consolidate the therapeutic effect to avoid any trouble in the future.
Especially when she found out that Ling Mingyu was coming to see her, Wang Xiaomi felt that she should temporarily avoid Ling Mingyu.
But Lin Hao quickly realized that it was wrong to always avoid it. The beautiful daughter-in-law still had to meet her mother-in-law after all.
In Lin Hao's original plan, he would let Wang Xiaomi and Ma Li develop feelings for each other, and then slowly reveal to Ling Mingyu the fact that he and Wang Xiaomi were getting married.
There is a buffer in the middle. In a few days, with Lin Hao's persuasive ability, the last obstacle will be cleared soon.
But what was unexpected was that Tian Ye actually tried to stir up trouble. Lin Hao was not afraid of this, and it was not difficult to solve the problem.
But Lin Hao felt very uncomfortable. I didn't come to cause you any trouble, but you came to make me unhappy.
So Lin Hao decided to take Wang Xiaomi home, but Lin Hao planned to leave Ling Mingyu alone to let her calm down.
Later, Lin Hao took Wang Xiaomi home. As soon as he opened the door, Lin Hao found that Ma Li was at home, watching TV alone.
When Ma Li saw Lin Hao and Wang Xiaomi coming back together, she muttered:
"Dad, you guys are finally back. I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Hao smiled and said, "We were just worried that you would be bored at home, so we rushed back eagerly!"
At this time, Wang Xiaomi also smiled and said, "Yes, your father has always been worried about you~!"
"Are you really that kind?" Ma Li curled her lips and subconsciously denied: "My dad dated you before, but he left me aside and didn't care about me. I didn't see him care about me much!"
At this time, Lin Hao hugged his daughter with his left hand and his wife with his right hand, and then said:
"By the way, Lily, it seems like we haven't gone shopping together for a long time. Do you want to go together and restock your snack warehouse?"
Lin Hao wanted to promote the relationship between Ma Li and Wang Xiaomi by going shopping with them, so that Wang Xiaomi can integrate into the family as soon as possible.
"Okay!" Mary's eyes lit up when she heard that.
The three of them then took a car and went to the shopping mall and supermarket, where they did a lot of shopping.
The three of them went shopping in the supermarket together and bought a lot of daily necessities, such as snacks, toothbrushes, toothpaste and other trivial items.
Then Lin Hao took them to buy clothes, and Wang Xiaomi and Ma Li both liked a bright red dress.
"Try?"
"Try it!"
The two girls reached a consensus instantly, so they went straight into the changing room. Soon they changed their clothes and walked out of the changing room.
"Lily, you are so beautiful in this outfit!"
When Ma Li wears this dress, she looks like a flower bud about to bloom, which is very attractive.
Wang Xiaomi was also dressed beautifully, but not as stunning as Ma Li.
Ma Li put on a slim red dress and looked even prettier than Wang Xiaomi. Wang Xiaomi was stunned at the time, and Ma Li was extremely happy.
The relationship between the two girls became more and more harmonious, and because of a skirt, their relationship became more and more harmonious.
Lin Hao naturally bought a set for each of them, and then took them to pick out some small accessories.
At this time, the two of them were already laughing and playing with their arms around each other's shoulders, and then he bought them a lot of things.
After paying the bill, Ma Li grumbled a little and said, "Dad, these things we bought today are too expensive!"
"No matter how expensive it is, I think it's worth spending it on you!" Lin Hao said with a smile while hugging Wang Xiaomi.
"Dad, you're so nice~!" Ma Li also said while hugging Lin Hao's other arm.
Lin Hao looked at the time. Ling Mingyu had been waiting at home for more than two hours. It was time to go back and confront.
Afterwards, the three of them returned home with large and small bags, and as soon as they opened the door, they found Ling Mingyu cleaning the house.
"Grandma!" Mary saw her grandma as soon as she entered the room and immediately shouted happily.
Ling Mingyu, who was cleaning the house, looked at the father and daughter who came in, but did not give them a good look.
Then he found the young girl holding Lin Hao's arm and immediately knew that it was Wang Xiaomi. Ling Mingyu said angrily:
"If I hadn't come, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark by you! You two have become more capable, haven't you? Have you teamed up to deceive people together?"
Wang Xiaomi had never encountered such a situation before, and for a moment she didn't know how to deal with it.
Seeing that Wang Xiaomi and Ma Li didn't dare to speak and just stood there obediently, Lin Hao pulled Wang Xiaomi and Ma Li into the room first.
To be honest, Lin Hao really didn't like this old lady. It's not that she was a bad person, but she just didn't understand the situation.
After putting the things away, Lin Hao said calmly:
"I can see that you are here to accuse me of something. You don't explain anything clearly, but just give me a nonsense scolding. Even if you are going to execute a death row prisoner, you should at least give me a crime!"
