My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1640: Chapter 1641: Don’t Call Me Mom

"Let go."

Jiang Chenyue’s voice sounded calm, but her heart was pounding fiercely, fluttering within her chest, "...Mom, I’m sorry."

Regardless of right or wrong, if Jiang Chenyue was angry, then she was wrong!

Jiang Chenyue was her only reliance to enjoy wealth and prosperity; she couldn’t lose Jiang Chenyue’s affection.

Even though she was feeling utterly wronged, she still hung her head like a defeated chicken, "I’m sorry. Mom, please don’t be angry with me, it’s my fault. I will apologize to Miss Rong until she forgives me."

"No need." Jiang Chenyue finally looked her in the eye, her gaze filled with pained disappointment, which pierced Chu Xi’s heart, "A forced melon is not sweet. If you feel you did nothing wrong, it’s pointless for me to force you to apologize. It tortures both you and Yan."

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to invite Rong Yan over, to mediate and improve their relationship. Ideally, they could turn hostility into friendship, if not become close friends, then at least be acquaintances.

Now it seems she was thinking too much!

Chu Xi completely misunderstood her intentions, while Yan understood her thoughts. Yan came and even brought gifts, but what Chu Xi did just now, was that an apology?

Her perfunctory attitude, condescending tone – anyone aware knew she was apologizing, but anyone unaware might have thought she was meeting a servant.

Jiang Chenyue thought of Rong Yan’s angry expression, rubbed her forehead, deeply regretting her actions. She shouldn’t have called Yan over, only for her to be humiliated! As Yan’s aunt, she didn’t even stand up for her at the first instance. She felt she had let down Duidui and Yan, who trusted her. If that little one knew her mom was again wronged today, he would be so angry...

The more she thought about it, the less she could forgive Chu Xi’s actions.

"I’ve told you so many times to put away your petty tricks and stop treating everyone like fools, smugly believing only you can play small games. If you truly think you’re innocent, you could have firmly refused me, at least showing some character. But no, you had to presumptuously disgust everyone."

"Xixi, you have thoroughly disappointed me!"

Jiang Chenyue had told her this before.

But Chu Xi felt that this time, it was different.

"Mom..."

"Don’t call me Mom!" Jiang Chenyue felt a surge of torment in her heart upon hearing the title. It reminded her of her inner agony over the past few months, and the deep-seated repulsion and resentment she tried so hard to ignore!

She looked at the person, scared to come closer to her, with a stranger’s eyes, "I always thought that no matter how a person changes, their core wouldn’t."

"I...I haven’t changed."

"Yes, you haven’t changed. Because I was wrong. You’ve always been like this. I kept thinking I could correct you, lead you onto the right path, but you didn’t see it. You thought you were the smartest, relying on your own wit to make it this far. All this time, your display of well-mannered behavior was just to please me; you haven’t changed at all."

Your hostility towards Yan is still so deep, and it seems that given the chance, you could still do something unfavorable to Yan.

Jiang Chenyue had never felt such heartache before.

On one hand, she mourned her ’biological daughter’s’ transformation into such a state. On the other hand, she couldn’t imagine if her concerns happened again, whether she could stand up for Rong Yan or if she would let down Yan and the little one again, trying to repay her debts.
