Chapter 573 - 571: Mother and Child Reunion
Jiang Yifan saw Wong Qiao staring blankly at him and said, "I’m not trying to scare you with this but to tell you. Even if you marry someone else, if you allow your mother to harass your wife without attempting to stop her, Ah Yan will probably think less of you and will also dislike your mother. You will have no future to speak of either.
And you need to think about it, you’re not only your mother’s son, but you are also your father’s son and a descendant of the Wong family. If your talents were ordinary, that would be one thing, but you are gifted, and you have also the good fortune of meeting Ah Yan.
If you allow your mother’s selfishness and narrow-mindedness to ruin your future, to destroy the chance to honor your ancestors and bring solace to your father’s spirit in heaven, then you are not a filial son, but the Wong family’s unworthy descendant. Your mother will also become the sinner of the Wong family, with no merits to her name."
Wong Qiao listened, dumbstruck. The consequences of his marriage were so severe. But what Lord Jiang said was right; if he had the chance to bring honor to his ancestors but his mother ruined it, how could he and his mother face his father, how could they face the ancestors of the Wong family?
If Ye Zi really stopped using him, he would truly lose the chance to become a great craftsman and would be reduced to an ordinary craftsman struggling for a living every day. Initially, when His Highness Prince Yu promised him a position at the Ministry of Works, he did not agree. It was to continue working under Ye Zi, to learn more skills and aim to make a name for himself in the world with his exceptional craftsmanship.
Ye Zi wouldn’t do that, would he?
"But, Ye Zi..." Wong Qiao tried to speak, but Jiang Yifan interrupted him, "You and your mother can both disregard the future of the Wong family for your own selfish desires. Why should Ah Yan put up with her disgust and support you and your Wong family? To let your mother live a life of luxury while watching her good friend heartbroken and lost?"
"But... my mother is very stubborn, and if she doesn’t want to, it’s very hard to change her mind."
