Chapter 951: Kneeling Down!
As soon as Zhuang Jiaoyang left, Mr. Zhuang’s face fell, and he looked at Mrs. Zhuang and said, "This is your good daughter!"
Mrs. Zhuang rarely didn’t retort, truly hurt by Zhuang Jiaoyang’s unruly wilfulness and inability to understand.
"Grandpa, Grandma, please don’t be angry," Zhuang Yi comforted them.
Zhuang Zeyang and his wife also tried to persuade them, and the family sat back down on the sofa, while Liang Rong stood there alone, inexplicably looking a bit pitiful.
No matter how much the old man and old lady blamed Zhuang Shaoyang, he was still their son.
Now, because of Liang Rong, he hurt their beloved foster daughter’s feelings and harmed their granddaughter; they naturally wouldn’t show any kindness to Liang Rong.
Without Zhuang Shaoyang’s protection, Liang Rong was likely to have a tough time in this family.
Of course, she could also leave with Zhuang Shaoyang; if news spread about them being kicked out by the Zhuang Family, it would be enough to embarrass her.
People wouldn’t care about Zhuang Shaoyang’s actions, only think that Liang Rong’s behavior irritated the Zhuang Family’s elders, causing them to detest her, and implicating Zhuang Shaoyang.
Liang Rong also felt she couldn’t stay here anymore, and said, "Dad, Mom, I’m worried about Shaoyang, I’m going out to check on him."
The two elders didn’t speak, and she didn’t really ask for their opinion; she just left.
Once she was gone, Mu Yan felt it was about time and immediately said, "Sir, Madam, Jing Heng and I will leave first."
"What, offended by your father and also offended by us?" Mr. Zhuang said unhappily, "You don’t even want to recognize us as grandparents?"
He rarely spoke harshly to Mu Yan; he was truly angered this time.
"Nuannuan!" Zhuang Yi looked at Mu Yan disapprovingly.
Mu Yan bowed her head and said nothing.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to acknowledge the elders; she just felt too ashamed to face them.
From the moment she joined the Zhuang Family, she had plotted to drive Zhuang Shaoyang away, even using the elders’ affection for her to achieve her goals.
Although she doesn’t regret her actions, she felt despised by her own selfishness.
"Nuannuan, don’t antagonize your grandparents. Don’t you know how much they care for you?" Ruan Xinyu said.
Mu Yan pursed her lips and whispered, "I know."
"I think you know nothing; there’s no room for me or your grandfather in your heart and eyes," Mrs. Zhuang said angrily. "If you dare leave today, I’ll find a rope and hang myself. My granddaughter doesn’t recognize me or want me. What’s the point of living then?"
"Mom!"
"Grandma!"
Everyone gasped, startled by the fierce look in her eyes, knowing she was truly upset.
Ruan Xinyu quickly tried to persuade Mu Yan, "Nuannuan, your grandma has missed you so much lately, don’t act childishly. Just stay home tonight."
Mu Yan looked at them, unable to hold back her tears, suddenly kneeling down.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I’m sorry."
She kneeled so abruptly that Jiang Jingheng couldn’t stop her.
Men are said to have gold beneath their knees, and women are no different.
Kneeling to elders implied they held a special place in her heart.
"Nuannuan, get up quickly," Ruan Xinyu said hurriedly.
Mu Yan shook her head, "It’s my fault. I put Grandpa and Grandma in a difficult position; I’m unfilial, measuring others’ integrity by my own petty standards, failing them in their love for me."
The two elders, who had always doted on her, did not ask her to get up either, clearly angered by her.
Ruan Xinyu looked around and saw everyone remained silent, feeling deeply for Mu Yan, "You child, stand up to talk, Jingheng, help her up."
Jiang Jingheng wanted to help but knew she wouldn’t allow it.
