Chapter 897: He Will Protect His Mother in the Future

She didn’t expect them to suddenly pay a visit, neither did she expect them to run into Yuan Yuan.

Yang Yun didn’t respond. Her face that had been pale earlier was now completely flushed red and even her neck was flushed red.

She placed a hand over her heart where she could a dull ache inside. He Xiyan’s words earlier were like ropes that tightened around her heart and she was in such pain that her breathing quickened.

She didn’t look at her so-called daughter-in-law for she was afraid that she would end up saying something even worse.

Gu Lin noticed that her aunt looked like she was in a bad shape and quickly stroked her back.

“Lin Lin…” Yang Yun suddenly gripped her niece’s hand and said in irritation, “Help me out to get some air. This house is way too stuffy.” Yang Yun started to feel breathless.

Gu Lin glanced at He Xiyan and gone was the look of polite respect she had when she first walked into the house. Instead, this look was now replaced by faint disgust.

This woman was truly very unlikeable. Forget the fact that she was not from a good family; she was also so promiscuous and even had a child born out of wedlock.

Her cousin was already a stepfather even before he was married and had children of his own.

Gu Lin helped her aunt up.

“Sure, let’s go out to take a walk around this area and take in some fresh air,” she said as she supported Yang Yun toward the door.

The door slammed shut with a loud bang.

They walked out of the door without even bidding He Xiyan farewell.

He Xiyan and Yuan Yuan stared after them, their faces pale.

Yuan Yuan walked toward the door and used all his strength to shut the door securely so that they wouldn’t be able to return.

“Mom, who are those two aunties? Why were they so rude?” Yuan Yuan asked angrily as he turned to look back at his mother, his tiny hands balled into fists.

He didn’t really understand what adults thought but could tell that those two aunties seemed very upset after his mother introduced himself.

It was one thing for them to be upset but did they really have to be so angry that they stormed out of the house?

Humph, he would close the door so that they would no longer be able to enter.

He Xiyan froze in the corner and placed a hand against the back of the sofa. She pursed her lips and smiled bitterly. She remained silent for a long while as she stared at the tightly shut door.

“Mom, you should just ignore those two aunties,” Yuan Yuan said as he walked to his mother’s side and took her hand in his while his other hand balled into a tiny fist.

He swore to himself that he would beat whoever dared to bully his mother when he was older. He would beat them until their noses bled and their mouths were swollen.

He Xiyan smiled wryly and looked down at her son. Then, she carried him to the sofa and hugged him tightly.

She had no regrets and didn’t regret saying the words earlier, nor did she regret giving birth to Yuan Yuan. No matter how the others judged her, he was her son and her closest relative.

She knew that they were angry and were probably so full of rage that they had left without saying goodbye. So be it. It would be better for them to leave than to remain and get into a fight with her.

She didn’t want Yuan Yuan to witness such an ugly fight.

Neither did she want Yuan Yuan to find out that his presence was not wanted by the Gu family nor would he be loved by them.

“Mom…” Yuan Yuan noticed that his mother looked very upset when he looked at up at her and she had burst into tears again. He stretched out his hand and wiped the tears from her eyes as he tried to comfort her, “Mom, don’t cry. I’ll protect you when I grow up. I’ll beat them up once I’m old enough.”
