Chapter 1062: Chapter 1104: Stomach Ache

Ling Yueyue’s words were very clear; Nan Jinning was the outsider she was referring to.

Nann Jinning retorted confidently, "Tiantian is my nephew. You take him out to eat junk, I have the right to intervene. What if he gets sick? Can you take responsibility?"

"Nephew? How dare you say that! In these five years, I’ve seen nothing of your so-called concern for Tiantian! Now that I’m taking him out for a bite, you suddenly care? Does Tiantian even accept it?" Saying this, she lowered her head to look at Huo Jiantian, gently pushing his shoulder, asking, "Your aunt says I shouldn’t take you out to eat, what do you think? If you side with her, I won’t take you out to eat ever again!"

On the surface, it seemed she was consulting Huo Jiantian, but it was actually a threat! If he dared to side with Nan Jinning, he could forget about getting any good food!

Smart as Huo Jiantian was, how could he not understand the implication behind Ling Yueyue’s words? He quickly nodded earnestly, saying, "The wicked stepmother is right; you’ve never cared for me these five years, and now you’re not entitled to! I don’t want you to care! I want to go out and eat with the wicked stepmother!"

"You... you ungrateful thing... I’m doing this for your good, yet you don’t appreciate it!" Seeing Huo Jiantian actually side with Ling Yueyue, Nan Jinning was furious! This inevitably reminded her of the day Huo Junmo married Ling Yueyue; if not for Huo Jiantian’s constant noise, she would have smoothly taken him away, and wouldn’t have ended up being pinned down and beaten by Ling Yueyue, pleading repeatedly.

This ungrateful brat, siding with outsiders instead of her!

"Hey, you’re just a cousin, what right do you have to scold my son! I tell you, if you dare speak of him like that again, you’ll be out of here immediately! This is my home, and people like you aren’t welcome!" Hearing Nan Jinning curse Huo Jiantian, Ling Yueyue immediately flared up! Although she often argued with Huo Jiantian and wasn’t shy to smack his bottom in discipline, in her view, that was a mother’s rightful education of her child! Only she could discipline him; others had no right to, no matter who they were.

Huo Jiantian lifted his head to look at Ling Yueyue, seeing her defend him so staunchly, he was moved to tears, nearly crying out!

Seeing Ling Yueyue refer to Huo Jiantian as her son, Nan Jinning scoffed with disdain and mocked, "Oh, but Tiantian is the child born of my sister, when did he become yours? I’ve seen shameless people, but none so brazen as you, desperately claiming motherhood! If Tiantian truly were your son, by age you’d have given birth to him at fifteen! Truly shameless!"

"Housekeeper, pack the cousin’s belongings and send her off! She isn’t welcome here!" Ling Yueyue didn’t bother to waste words with her, shouting at the housekeeper, then leading Huo Jiantian to sit on the sofa.

Nan Jinning angrily stormed in front of Ling Yueyue, hands on hips, her petite face flushed, "Who gives you the right to kick me out? This is my brother-in-law’s house, not yours!"

"Is that so? I have no right?" Ling Yueyue sneered coldly, calling softly without turning her head, "Husband!"

Huo Junmo responded immediately, "What is it?"

Ling Yueyue asked with a faux smile, "Tell me, do I have the right to make decisions in this home?"

Huo Junmo, without thinking twice, answered decisively, "You’re the mistress of this house, naturally, you have the right to decide!"

As Huo Junmo finished speaking, Nan Jinning stamped her foot, protesting, "Brother-in-law, how can you? Have you forgotten? Before my sister passed, she asked you to take good care of me, and take good care of the Nan Family! Is this how you fulfill her dying wish?"

"...!" Huo Junmo remained silent, his expression subtly changing.

Though unable to see Huo Junmo’s face, Ling Yueyue sensed the change in the atmosphere after Nan Jinning spoke!

With an inward sigh, she spoke, "Don’t put your brother-in-law in a difficult position. Though he promised Jiansi to look after you and the Nan Family, I believe, if your sister were standing here today, seeing the way you curse Tiantian, she’d act no different than me! Still, considering you’re Jiansi’s sister, I’ll let you off this time, allowing you to stay. However, if there’s a next time, even if you call Jiansi from the underworld, the result will be the same! Pack your bags and leave!" Ling Yueyue spoke with a stern face, her spine straightened, fully embodying the role of a home’s mistress and a commanding queen, leaving Nan Jinning furious but powerless.

"Tiantian, come, let’s go upstairs for a bath, change into clean clothes! So some won’t hold onto this!" With that, she ignored Nan Jinning entirely, pulling Tiantian towards the stairs! Passing by Huo Junmo, she grabbed his arm, pulling both of them upstairs, leaving Nan Jiansi lonely downstairs.

Watching the family of three leave, Nan Jinning almost exploded with anger!

Though she’d been here for more than a week, every single day she was left alone at home! The three either went to school or to work! On rare weekends, they went out shopping, taking Tiantian to amusement parks! She wanted to follow, but Ling Yueyue refused, leaving her home alone again!

Sometimes she wanted to go find her brother-in-law at his company, but the receptionist and security stopped her from going up! Finally, at night when he returned, it was still the three of them coming back together!

Over a week here, she only watched her brother-in-law and Ling Yueyue flaunt their love, seeing them as a harmonious family of three!

She truly felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness and solitude! If not for the sincere feelings she held for her brother-in-law, she would have long returned home!

Fuming, Nan Jinning thought and promptly followed upstairs behind them!

......

At night, in the early hours of the morning, Huo Junmo slept deeply, suddenly awakened by an unusual sound!

He abruptly opened his eyes, turned on the dim bedside lamp, and looked at Ling Yueyue beside him! Seeing her, eyes tightly shut, her face twisted, clutching her stomach and groaning softly, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

Startled and concerned, he asked, "Yueyue, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ling Yueyue barely opened her eyes into slits, using what little strength she had, answered weakly, "I... my stomach hurts... it’s really painful!"

"I’ll take you to the hospital!" Seeing Ling Yueyue in pain, unable to even speak, Huo Junmo, without hesitation, immediately picked up his phone and made two calls!
