Chapter 412: Mother and Son Breakup 2
She had been living here for two days, and neither her older son nor her younger son had come to pick her up. Now, they had come only to ask her to return home. Lin Fengying’s heart dropped to an all-time low.
Si Chen nodded and spoke in a deep voice, "I already know about the scene you caused at the milk tea shop yesterday. Think carefully about whether you will return home or not."
So, her older son had come to stand up for his in-laws. Great, just splendid; after all these years, she had raised him, only for him to drive his own mother away for the sake of others.
Lin Fengying took a few heavy breaths while her lips trembled, "Si Chen, what do you mean by this? Are you saying you don’t want your own mother because of your in-laws? What will you do if I don’t go back to Li City? Are you going to cut ties with me? Are you going to pretend you don’t have a mother?"
Her questions were a deliberate attempt to put Si Chen on the spot about his morality and virtue. If Si Chen said yes, it would mean he was heartless and disrespectful, earning him a reputation as an unfilial son whether in the village or the hospital.
On the other hand, if Si Chen backed down, he wouldn’t be able to control Lin Fengying.
After all, no matter how much wrong she’d done, Si Chen couldn’t hit or curse his own mother.
Lin Fengying was clearly banking on this fact when she questioned if he planned to cut off ties with her. She didn’t believe that her eldest son would sever their relationship for the sake of Tong Yao’s family.
"If you go back, I’ll act as if nothing happened and Boyi will still give you living expenses every month," Si Chen stared coldly at Lin Fengying, devoid of emotion, "If you don’t return, then to you, both father and I are dead in Kyoto."
He didn’t explicitly say he wanted to sever their relationship, but his every word carried the implication of cutting ties with Lin Fengying.
