At noon, Wen Zhan had lunch with Mu Wanqing in the ward - although Mu Wanqing did not care about his company.
Halfway through the meal, Wen Zhan's cell phone rang.
He took it and took a look, and his originally calm expression suddenly turned into dark clouds.
"Hey, Mom."
When Mu Wanqing heard this, she subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at the man opposite, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
On the other side of the phone, Jiang Lijuan heard her son's gloomy and unkind tone and knew that the mother and son were about to quarrel again.
"Azhan, have you returned to China early?" Jiang Lijuan deliberately spoke in a soft tone, acting like a loving mother.
"Well, it was just early this morning... cough, cough cough -" Wen Zhan responded, but before he finished speaking, his throat felt uncomfortable and a cough came over him.
He stood up and avoided the dining table, coughing while going to get a drink of water.
Jiang Lijuan felt distressed when she heard her son coughing badly: "Why did you catch a cold? Have you seen a doctor? You must be too tired. You are running around all day, and your body can't stand it."
Wen Zhan didn't respond. After drinking water and calming down, he said calmly: "It's a small problem, it doesn't matter."
"Then you are staying with the child in the hospital now?"
"Um."
Jiang Lijuan didn't speak for a while, but she didn't mean to hang up the phone either.
Wen Zhan probably knew what his mother wanted to say on the phone. Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, he also understood that she couldn't save her dignity and took the initiative to mention it.
The atmosphere was awkwardly deadlocked for a while, and Wen Zhan had no choice but to take the initiative: "Did you call to explain something?"
"Explain what? What do I have to explain? I just heard that you were back, and thinking that you didn't even have any news, I called to ask if you were back." Jiang Lijuan was still pretending, unwilling to admit her mistake .
She knew that once she admitted it, her son would have more reason to lose his temper with her.
"People say that when you raise a son, you have a wife and forget about your mother. Now that you have no wife, you have also forgotten that you still have parents. You came back quietly..."
As expected of Jiang, Jiang Lijuan took the initiative to seize the moral high ground and accused her son of "unfilial piety".
Wen Zhan originally wanted to be nice and angry, but didn't want the mother and son to quarrel and make it too ugly.
Unexpectedly, my mother not only refused to repent, but also felt confident. She suddenly became so angry that she couldn't suppress it.
"Since you don't take the initiative to admit it, let me ask - first of all, why is Xiaoya sick?"
"This..." Jiang Lijuan squeaked and stammered, "Isn't it normal for children to get sick and catch a cold? I feel bad for the child when he is sick. Do you think I don't feel bad? Why do you still have such an attitude of asking for punishment? !”
Wen Zhan has long known his mother's character, which is strong and unreasonable. She can pretend to be stupid and deny even things that are certain.
He hated it, but who knew that was his mother!
"Xiaoya was underweight when she was born and lived in the incubator for a few days. The doctor told her to pay more attention to daily care. You are not capable of taking good care of them, so why did you take them over? You deliberately left Aunt Zhou alone." Wen Zhan's tone was low and he began to settle accounts and hold people accountable.
Jiang Lijuan argued: "You are away on a business trip. As a grandma, shouldn't it be natural for me to take them over? I also feel sorry for the two children and have good intentions. Why did I do something wrong?"
"They have their own mothers taking care of them."
"Oh, dear mother, when you talk about this, I'm even more angry! What's the matter with you being divorced and still entangled with each other every day? Rumor has spread that whose girl is still willing to marry? At this age, can you still have your brains when doing things? clear!"
Wen Zhan held the phone and took a deep breath. Before he could refute, he heard someone else say——
"If you are divorced, let alone stay away from each other forever, at least you should keep a distance! If Mu Wanqing has any dignity, she should clearly clarify her position! She insisted on leaving, and she should disappear far away! It's okay to say that she wants to leave. Come back here again! Who does she think she is? Does she think she can take control of you and the Wen family with two children? "
"And you! You are also hopeless. She sees this in you and hangs you up on purpose! You are usually very smart, but when it comes to emotional matters, it's like you've been tricked! Before! It’s the same with Lu Kejun, and it’s the same with her now! You’ve failed once, and you don’t know how to draw lessons from your experience? The more you push yourself, the more people will look down upon you!"
Wen Zhan heard the noisy and high-decibel scolding in his ears. Just as he was about to open his mouth, blood surged up and he coughed violently.
But he was so angry that he couldn't wait for the cough to subside and responded almost like a roar: "How did my marriage come to this point? Isn't it your fault? If you didn't look down on her and despise her, would she insist on divorce? Even if we are divorced, we still have two children, shouldn't we care about each other? Isn't it human nature for me to help her when she is in trouble and danger? You drove her away and put her in danger and almost died. Gone!"
"How can you blame me for your divorce? If you and Kejun didn't know each other, how could she have divorced you? You are really... old, oh, it makes me so angry... The sons raised by this family are all warm men, listen Mom, why did I raise such a rebellious son like you!" Jiang Lijuan was so vomiting that she couldn't breathe, her mind was in a mess, she was shouting for heaven and earth, just shouting that her life was bad and she had committed a crime——
Wen Zhan was so angry that his head was spinning.
He was already overtired, his body was overloaded, and he was angry at his own mother. Now he felt his heartbeat speeding up, and the blood vessels in his brain were pounding, as if he was about to collapse in the next second.
Raising his hands to rub his temples, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and said gloomily and feebly: "Ms. Jiang Lijuan, if you don't want to lose my son, don't interfere in my affairs from today on! No matter it's Mu Wanqing or the two of you, A child, you can’t meet them without my permission in the future! I control my own life, whether it’s good or bad has nothing to do with you!”
Jiang Lijuan was so angry that if the two of them weren't talking on the phone, if her son was here right now, she would have rushed up to him and slapped him hard twice, and then made him kneel in the yard all day and night!
"Wen Zhan! What nonsense are you talking about! We are your parents, the parents who gave birth to you and raised you! The Wen family is your foundation! Are you turning against us because of an ungrateful woman? What are you thinking! Even if I was there that day What I said is a bit excessive, but what I said makes sense! How do I know that she will be in danger and almost lose her life when she goes back? "
Wen Zhan: "I don't care. It has already happened, and you indirectly caused it. The responsibility must be placed on you."
"Asshole! I'm your biological mother! Do you deserve my kindness in raising you by saying such things?"
Jiang Lijuan was so angry that her voice broke.
She never dreamed that the son she had worked so hard to raise would be so unfilial! No, this is not only unfilial, it is simply a white-eyed wolf! Enemy!
If this spreads out, won't she be laughed to death by her relatives and friends?
