One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love-Chapter 704 - 702: Emotions Cannot Withstand the Ravages of Time

"Will you get out or not!" Today, Old Madam Jiang wanted Mu Qingxin to give an answer.

Mu Qingxin had always been proud, but from the moment she entered the Jiang Family, she had already cast her pride aside.

Now, without that bit of protection, she was forced to shake like a sieve, her face growing even paler, her hands clenched into fists, and her gaze slowly losing focus.

Luo Yan saw Mu Qingxin in such a downtrodden state for the first time, it seemed that the once flamboyant owner, Bao Huan, had long since died, and now standing in front of her was nothing more than a person of low status with nothing left.

"Old Madam, let it go, I’d better take you back to your room to rest! It’s not worth it." Luo Yan always behaved submissively in front of the old lady, she knew the elder preferred soft tactics and not hard ones, so to hang on to this big tree, she had to act temporarily like this.

Then, she said to Mu Qingxin, "Sister Qingxin, just be more careful next time, hurry back to your room and change your clothes! Otherwise, it’s going to be another mess of rumors if others see you."

"...Alright, thank you!"

Mu Qingxin was sincerely grateful for Luo Yan’s help, fearing Old Madam Jiang would make things difficult, she quickly slipped away.

At least this way, she could feel a little less shame.

Jiang Yixiu heard the commotion and came out of the room, just in time to see Mu Qingxin’s slender figure leaving, he frowned, "Mom, there’s no need for this! You know well enough it was definitely me... who forced her."

"You, you!" Old Madam Jiang had a look of disappointed anger, almost unable to speak, "Now come with me into the room."

She needed to cut through the mess quickly, or it would be endless trouble.

Jiang Yixiu felt it was certainly not something good, but had no choice, he obediently followed into the room. At the doorway, Old Madam Jiang turned back to Luo Yan, "Luo Yan, don’t come in, there are some things I want to say to him alone."

"Alright."

Luo Yan wanted to go in, wanted to hear what they were saying, but she didn’t dare defy the old lady’s words.

She could only obediently wait outside.

Although many things happened in the Jiang Family during this time, the mother and son actually hadn’t talked properly—

Jiang Yixiu was very rebellious from a young age, unaccustomed to being controlled, it was thought he would muddle through life, unexpectedly this boy was merely unruly on the surface, but actually quite upright inside.

When it was time to settle down, he settled down, and when it was time to take responsibility, he never hesitated.

This time the Jiang Family encountered such a big issue, openly and secretly offending a lot of people, this little brat used his gift of the gab and social skills to calm their anger.

Of course, this didn’t eliminate their inherent fear of the Jiang Family, as, after all, a thin camel is bigger than a horse.

So, for a moment, she felt her son had grown up and could be relied upon.

However, this kind of growth necessarily had to go through the baptism of blood. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

At this moment, the two were sitting face to face in Old Madam Jiang’s room, Old Madam Jiang, born into a noble family, had understood the treachery among the powerful from a young age. Seeing too much of it made her tired, so she never liked that set of ways, yet growing up in comfort made her straightforward, making her particularly likable for being both tough and gentle.

"Yixiu, send her away! Don’t keep her at home; it’s disturbing to see." This was Old Madam Jiang’s opening statement.

The tact was on point, and a single sentence pierced Jiang Yixiu’s heart, leaving him unsure of how to respond.

He just looked up at her, opened his mouth, but couldn’t utter a word.

"Keeping her at home, you say it’s torturing her, but isn’t it torturing yourself more?"

"Since you can’t forget her, let her go far away, feelings fade with distance. By then, I will find you a good wife, gentle and soft, soon there will be a child, and gradually the past will be forgotten. In this world, feelings generally cannot withstand the erosion of time."
