The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 560: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (99)

Feeling He Yurong's dependence on him, Cao Ce's inner desire to protect her surged like a tide, making him immediately forget about Wu Wenyue.

Without hesitation, he turned to the butler Cao Quan beside him and ordered: "I remember there is a suite next to the study, send someone to clean it up quickly.

Then arrange for Rongrong to live there. This way, she is close to my study, and I can take better care of her. After all, she is timid and afraid of things, and she is different from others. You have to find a sensible and well-behaved girl to serve her. "

He Yurong was moved to tears of gratitude when he heard Cao Ce's thoughtful arrangement.

She hurriedly bowed to Cao Ce and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Master."

Cao Ce was attracted by her gentleness and obedience. His eyes could not help but sweep over the breakfast on the table. Then he instructed Cao Quan: "We won't eat this food for now. We can ask the kitchen to prepare it and send it to the study later."

"Yes, sir!" Cao Quan responded respectfully.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Ce took He Yurong to the study on the second floor, leaving everyone else where they were.

After Cao Ce left, Xie Wanru finally mustered up the courage to loudly question Cao Shixun: "Isn't this Cuiqiao a maid in my mother's room? Why did she come back with you dressed like this?"

Unexpectedly, Cao Shixun didn't intend to answer her question at all. He just said to Xie Wanru with a cold face: "Stop it!"

"Mother, Cuiqiao was originally your concubine. You can arrange everything for her as you see fit." Cao Shixun's face was full of fatigue. "From now on, she is my concubine."

After hearing her husband's arrangement for Cuiqiao, Xie Wanru was furious. She introduced new-style education. In her opinion, although her and Cao Shixun were in a business marriage, their marriage should be monogamous.

Her biggest bottom line is that she can accept that the other party has another woman outside, but the prerequisite is that he cannot bring the person back to the Cao family, and she will not agree to Cao Shixun taking a concubine.

"You, the Cao family, are going too far!" Xie Wanru roared angrily, unable to tolerate such humiliation and injustice any longer.

She suddenly grabbed the handbag beside her and prepared to return to her parents' home without hesitation.

However, just as Cao Shixun tried to stop her, he was held tightly by Wu Wenyue.

Wu Wenyue had been holding a grudge in her heart for a long time, and now seeing her daughter-in-law dare to quarrel with her precious son, she became even more furious and uncomfortable.

She angrily shouted at Xie Wanru without any courtesy: "Since you are so ungrateful, then get out of here right away! You have been married into our Cao family for so many years, but you haven't even given me a grandson. How dare you quarrel with my son?"

Wu Wenyue is a very hypocritical person. She cannot tolerate her husband taking a concubine, but she hopes that her son can have more women, as if this will bring good luck of having many children.

In her opinion, the greatest sin is for a daughter-in-law to fail to carry on the family line.

"So what if we don't have a baby?" Xie Wanru had already given up, and retorted desperately, "Given the current situation of your son and I, if we really get pregnant, then there will be a big problem!"

Seeing the situation getting out of control, Cao Shixun was afraid that things would get worse, so he quickly spoke up to stop them: "Enough! Stop arguing!"

He turned to Xie Wanru and said, "No matter what, I will definitely marry that woman. If you feel uncomfortable, you can temporarily return to your parents' home and live there for a while. When you have figured it out, it's okay to come back."

After saying this, Cao Shixun turned around and no longer looked at Xie Wanru, whose face was covered with tears. He let her leave Cao's house alone and return to Xie's house.

Wu Wenyue didn't think her son would have any feelings for Cuiqiao. She was sure there was some hidden story behind this and wanted to ask, but her son just blinked at her and didn't say anything else.

After Xie Wanru left, Cao Shixun ignored Cuiqiao and went back to the room with his mother Wu Wenyue to discuss things.

Wu Wenyue asked anxiously, "Son, tell me the truth, what happened? How come Cuiqiao was the one in your room last night?"

Cao Shixun sighed and said, "Mom, to be honest, I don't know either. Not long after I left the banquet hall last night, I felt very dizzy. I also clearly remember that the person who helped me back to the room was my cousin, but I don't know why it became Cuiqiao this morning?"

"Then you are not right! Since she is Cui Qiao, you should have gotten rid of her quietly. Why did you bring her back?" Wu Wenyue tapped Cao Shixun's forehead, looking disappointed.

"That's not what I thought!" Cao Shixun was helpless. "How would I know that my father was also at the International Hotel? He saw me and Cuiqiao flirting and he said I was a coward who didn't dare to take responsibility after having sex with a woman."

When Wu Wenyue heard her son mention her husband, she became even angrier: "Let's not talk about Cuiqiao first. How come your mistress is with your father?"
