Thinking about what her father-in-law said today, Han Ying couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
It seemed that her father-in-law was angered by Cao Feiying and said those words out of anger. But, who was her father-in-law? He was a founding father of the country, the head of the Qu family. How could he be so impulsive and say such words?
From Han Ying’s point of view, this should have been her father-in-law’s idea before. This time, he took this opportunity to say it out and test their reactions.
“Yaotian, are you asleep?” Han Ying could not help but want to ask the person next to her to say something.
“Not yet.” Qu Yaotian wanted to say that with you tossing and turning and making such a big commotion, how could he fall asleep?
Han Ying saw that her husband Qu Yaotian was not asleep, so she simply sat up and turned on the light. “Yaotian, what do you think Father meant by what he said today?”
“What do you mean?” Qu Yaotian knew what his wife was asking, but he pretended not to understand.
He had always known that his wife seemed virtuous on the surface, but underneath she had a heart full of ambition. If there was ambition, Qu Yaotian did not object, but if it was used on his own family, he would have a problem with it.
“Father said that he would hand the Qu family over to Meng’er in the future. Do you think he said that in anger, or is it true?” Han Ying asked tentatively.
“Han Ying, what Dad is thinking is not something that we can guess. Moreover, Dad is in charge of the Qu family now. He can hand it over to whoever he wants.” Qu Yaotian simply sat up. He turned his head and looked seriously at his wife, Han Ying, he said, “I believe that father is not old and muddle-headed. Therefore, no matter who he passes the position of the Qu family’s head to, it is the best choice for the Qu family that he has made after careful consideration.”
“But…” Han Ying wanted to say that he was the eldest son of the Qu family. The position of the Qu family’s head should have been his.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Go to sleep.” Qu Yaotian did not want to continue discussing this issue with his wife.
In another room of the Qu family, Qu Yaobing and Murong Ying were still awake as they lay on the bed.
Qu Yaobing sighed and reached out to hug his wife who was lying beside him, “Yingying, I’m sorry, I only found out today how much of a failure I have been.” Qu Yaobing knew that his wife had a weak temper but he did not expect that his wife would be bullied by his sister-in-law in the Qu family.
If it was not for the words that Chen Meng’er said to him when she left today, he would not have come to his senses.
He still remembered that Chen Meng’er had a tight face and said to him in a very serious manner, “If a man can’t even take good care of his own wife, then no matter how successful he is outside, he will still be a failure. I hope that you won’t disappoint me.”
“I was originally worried that my daughter would become estranged from us, but after today’s incident, I realized that the situation isn’t as bad as we thought.” Qu Yaobing said as a gratified smile appeared on his face.
“That’s right. I didn’t think that Meng’er would stand up and speak up for me. Speaking of which, as a mother, I’m really ashamed. Not only am I unable to protect my own children, I even made my own daughter stand up and protect me.” This was the first time Murong Ying felt that her personality was too weak. “In the future, I will slowly change. I want to be a mother who can protect my children.”
“Mm.” Qu Yaobing expressed that he was really in a good mood today.
“But, Yaobing, did Father say those words in anger today, or?” Murong Ying couldn’t help but ask.
