Mubai said in a low rumble, “Either way, Xinghe is still Lin Lin’s mom. Yes, we are no longer legally married, but we can’t just close our eyes to her suffering.”

Old Mrs. Xi frowned slightly as she retorted, “It’s the woman’s decision to slap our helping hand away. You, yourself, are familiar with her weird and stubborn attitude. It has been nothing but trouble since she came into the Xi Family. She’s unwilling to admit her mistakes and refuses to communicate with the rest of the family, causing all of us to walk on tiptoes around the house. I did the best I could by offering her help once but she refused it. We’re not running a charity here, I’m not going to beg her to accept our aid.”

“Regardless, you should have at least told me…”

“Mubai, your marriage to her was from the beginning a huge mistake. Your father was obviously not thinking straight when he allowed that woman to marry into our family. I know it couldn’t have been easy for you having to live with that horrible woman.
