The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 518: Speechless with choked emotion

They entered the room, and there was an awkward silence once again.

Fortunately, Mu Wanlian, Mu Wanyu, and Zhan Jingshu were there. They were familiar with people on both sides, which livened up the atmosphere a bit.

Zhan Zhengtong gradually relaxed too, joined in the conversation, and talked about recent events.

Jiang Nuo briefly mentioned his collection of evidence against the Yan Family and his plan to get Yan Shanchuan sent to the authorities. Whatever the case, Yan Shanchuan was his biological father, so this act was a grand gesture of justice over family ties. Later, some people might have something to say about it, but as long as everyone understood at heart, it was enough.

"He deserves it; for so many years, who knows how many shady things he’s done," Zhan Zhengtong said with excitement upon hearing this. "Ano, what you’ve done is great; you’re much better than that man. To be a good person, one must have a conscience and principles, and cannot do just anything. I’m very pleased; you’ve done well... Even though I haven’t raised you for a single day, you’ve grown up well on your own..."

As she spoke, she wanted to wipe away her tears.

"Zhengtong, you can’t shed tears; this is a happy occasion. See, you’ve gotten rid of an ungrateful person, recognized your son again, and your son has avenged you. What could be better? Both your grandson and granddaughter are here—one is clever, and the other is adorable. No one has it better than you!" Fu Chunxue patted her hand, comforting her.

"Right, sister-in-law is right. I know in my heart, it’s just... just thinking that for so many years, I haven’t raised Ano at all, makes me feel so guilty. I’m not a good mother, really not—a mother who can lose her own son..."

"Mom, it’s not your fault!" Jiang Nuo could only comfort her, saying, "This is the doing of Yan Shanchuan and that Lady Dongfang. Mom, now that Yan Shanchuan has fallen, wait a little longer, and Lady Dongfang will also fall. Not a single culprit from back then will be spared."

"And what about Hao? I’m sorry, I know I am asking a difficult thing of you, but he was innocent of what happened back then; he was just a child..." No matter how much Zhan Zhengtong hated Yan Shanchuan and Lady Dongfang, she couldn’t hate Yan Hao.

Yan Hao was raised by her own hands; over twenty years of flesh and blood ties cannot be easily severed.

She could refrain from seeing Yan Hao, but she couldn’t bear for him to end up like his father.

"He has nothing to do with the events back then, so of course, I won’t target him. Mom, you’re overthinking it. As long as Yan Hao doesn’t target me, why would I inexplicably target him?" Jiang Nuo laughed, shaking his head.

However, he didn’t explain that some of the assassins he encountered earlier were actually sent by Yan Hao.

Jiang Nuo didn’t want to say it, but Mu Qiuniang might not be so willing. She said coldly, "Mother-in-law, though Ano didn’t grow up by your side, he’s your son. With your blood connection, he might spare some people on your account. But I can’t; I’m his wife, and I won’t let go of anyone who plots against my husband, especially those who try to assassinate him."

Zhan Zhengtong was taken aback: "Ah Hao wouldn’t do such a thing, he..."

"Mother-in-law, Ano has suffered several assassination attempts; I’m more aware of it than you are," Mu Qiuniang directly interrupted her firmly.

The atmosphere became awkward once again.

This time, Zhan Jingshu didn’t attempt to ease the situation. Are you kidding? The Master was angry, and the Master had been assassinated. Whoever that happened to wouldn’t feel right, would they?

Although he understood that his aunt had developed deep motherly feelings for Yan Hao after so many years, rationally speaking, if Yan Hao dared to harm Jiang Nuo, even he wouldn’t hold back.

Jiang Nuo rubbed his nose; his wife was so supportive of him, so of course, he couldn’t disregard her. However, with his newly reconciled mother, he didn’t want the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship to be strained over a small matter.

After all, they had to manage years ahead together.

"Ahem, wife, don’t be angry," Jiang Nuo took Mu Qiuniang’s hand to calm her down, "Those times, I only got slightly injured and wasn’t in life-threatening danger; it’s fine. Besides, Mom didn’t know about this. If she knew Yan Hao was like Yan Shanchuan, hiring hitmen to kill me, she wouldn’t say so... She’s just raised someone else’s son for more than twenty years, so it’s hard for her to let go, just like raising a kitten or puppy would be."

Seemingly speaking to Mu Qiuniang, but actually speaking to Zhan Zhengtong.

He wanted to tell her that Yan Hao wasn’t innocent of attempting to assassinate him; he had already tried more than once. It’s just that he was lucky enough not to be harmed.

"You... Ah Hao, hiring hitmen to murder you!?" Zhan Zhengtong was completely incredulous. In her eyes, he might have been a bit spoiled, but he was still a very obedient child—how could he do such a thing?

"Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine, just got a bit hurt. But it was treated, and I’m okay now," Jiang Nuo said to reassure Zhan Zhengtong, even pulling up a sleeve for her to check, "See, there’s not a single scar now."

Jiang Nuo’s arm was perfectly healthy, with smooth lines and faint skin markings. Perhaps due to his acting career, his skin was fairer than the average boy’s, giving off a healthy glow.

However, seeing such an arm, Zhan Zhengtong felt guilt welling up inside her like a volcanic eruption. She couldn’t help but reach out to touch it: "I’m sorry, I didn’t know... I really didn’t know, I knew nothing, yet I was here demanding you! I’m sorry, Ano, I’m sorry..."

Tears slid uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Nuo felt a bit guilty. However, he didn’t regret it; he truly was targeted by hitmen sent by Yan Hao, but the injuries weren’t as severe as he made them out to be. However, it was thanks to Mu Qiuniang teaching him cultivation and providing him with protection items that he could still sit here comfortably, otherwise, it might be a different story entirely.

"Mom, all of this is in the past, and I can promise you, as long as Yan Hao doesn’t attempt anything against me again, I won’t hold these matters against him in the future." That’s what he said, but Jiang Nuo knew in his heart that as long as he had something Yan Hao wanted, Yan Hao wouldn’t stop targeting him. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Especially with that Lady Dongfang, having sent Yan Shanchuan to prison, causing Yan Hao to fall from the legitimate heir of the Yan Family to a bastard, and reclaiming his own "Qi Fortune"—from any angle, she wouldn’t let him off.

"Mom thanks you for him... You’re a good child! A good child! It’s your mom who’s let you down!" Zhan Zhengtong also felt a bit unreasonable, her son had gone through so much, yet she was still pressuring him to make such promises.

But having raised Yan Hao for over twenty years, truly asking her to let go just like that was something her heart couldn’t bear.

Let’s just leave it at that. Consider it as having pleaded for Yan Hao this one time, and whatever his future outcomes would be, truly would have nothing to do with her anymore.
