Forced to Marry Mr. Billionaire-Chapter 981: Watch Your Mouth

"Yes." Mrs. Xia nodded. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The two headed towards the entrance of the mall, coincidentally running into Yin Cui coming from the opposite direction.

Both sides were momentarily stunned.

Seeing Yin Cui, Mrs. Xia’s expression turned sour. She pulled Xia Nuo, intending to leave, but Yin Cui deliberately laughed, "Oh, isn’t this my dear in-law? How come you saw me and didn’t even greet before leaving? After all, your daughter is my daughter-in-law."

"Bah! Who’s your in-law! I wouldn’t dare have such a relative like you!" Mrs. Xia retorted with a stern face.

Yin Cui chuckled, "You’re really good at talking nonsense. Your daughter has married my son, how are you not my in-law? After all these years, you’re still so fierce. No wonder your husband is famously henpecked."

Mrs. Xia laughed coldly, countering bluntly, "I’m nothing compared to you. You’ve changed husbands one after another. I’ve relied on my own hands to make a living my whole life, unlike you who rely entirely on men."

Many people were coming and going at the mall entrance, and hearing Mrs. Xia’s words, passersby cast looks at Yin Cui as if she were a mistress.

Yin Cui’s expression twisted and she snorted, "Go ahead, be smug. When your daughter gets dumped by my son, let’s see how smug you are then!"

Mrs. Xia suddenly slapped her face, staring sharply, "Keep your mouth clean from now on, or I’ll hit you every time I see you!"

"You..."

"Ha, believe it or not, I’ll expose the things you’ve done to your current man?"

Initially furious, Yin Cui restrained herself upon hearing these words.

Holding her slapped face, she snorted, "Bai Yun, just you wait and see!"

Bai Yun is Mrs. Xia’s name, rarely used by anyone nowadays.

Yin Cui left, and Xia Nuo supported her mother, frowning with concern, "Mom, don’t be angry at her, be careful of your health."

Mrs. Xia glanced at her, tears suddenly welling up in her eyes. She avoided her hand and said flatly, "I told you not to be with Leng Yan, but you insisted on ignoring me. Now you are humiliated, are you happy?"

"Mom!" Xia Nuo’s heart suddenly sank, feeling as if pricked by needles.

Mrs. Xia refused to look at her, striding out of the mall. Xia Nuo hurriedly caught up, grabbing her hand by the roadside, "Mom, don’t be like this; it makes me upset."

Mrs. Xia took a deep breath and sighed, "Xiao Nuo, how did things become like this? Does our family really owe them so much?"

Xia Nuo bit her lips, unsure of what to say. She never imagined her impulsive marriage to Leng Yan would lead to such consequences.

Her mother was genuinely heartbroken, unlike the kind she thought would fade over time.

For the first time, she loathed her own impulsiveness. Yet she truly loved Leng Yan, unable to bring herself to divorce him now.

After sending her mother home, Xia Nuo returned to her own house.

She collapsed onto the sofa, feeling utterly drained. The enmity between her parents and Leng Yan’s mother was like a thorn lodged in her heart, pricking her every now and then.

If she didn’t remove this thorn, she would suffer all her life.

Leng Yan came home, sensing something was off.

He squatted in front of Xia Nuo, reaching out to stroke her forehead.

"Xia Nuo, are you feeling unwell?" he asked with concern.

Xia Nuo remained silent, her gaze unfaltering.
