Chapter 177: I'm going back right now to ask my mother!

Cheng Xianglan looked at Yun Tian without expression; this made Yun Tian feel somewhat unfamiliar with her: "Xianglan, I know you're suffering, but..."

He was like this.

This made Cheng Xianglan very disappointed.

"What 'but'? You only think about your mother losing you, leaving only your elder brother. Have you thought of me? I finally had a child with you after great difficulty, and then it was gone just like that!"

"I wanted to keep it, but I couldn't; do you know how heartbroken I am?"

"Sorry, sorry."

Yun Tian hugged Cheng Xianglan and apologized.

Cheng Xianglan pushed him away.

"This isn't your fault; I don't need your apology. What I lost is a child, not something that can be brushed over with a simple sorry."

Yun Tian looked at Cheng Xianglan and said: "Xianglan, don't be like this; rest assured I will get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation."

He still didn't want to cut ties with his mother.

Cheng Xianglan closed her eyes and stopped looking at Yun Tian.

Yun Tian felt somewhat helpless dealing with her like this; he opened the door, went out, and called Qiao Sheng aside to talk: "Qiao Sheng, please help me persuade Xianglan..."

"What do you want me to persuade her about?"

Qiao Sheng had actually already overheard their conversation, but still asked him.

Yun Tian lowered his voice and said: "She wants me to cut ties with my mother; I know my mother went too far this time, but she is the one who gave birth to and raised me, I..."

"Alright, I understand what you mean, but on this matter I'm on Xianglan's side."

After stating his position, Qiao Sheng analyzed what had happened earlier for him.

After hearing that, Yun Tian said to Qiao Sheng: "I'm going back right now to ask my mother!"

He wasn't at ease leaving Cheng Xianglan, so before leaving he asked Qiao Sheng to look after her; as for him, after going back to ask his mother he would return.

When Yun Tian returned home.

Shi Shi was cleaning her room when she suddenly saw Yun Tian walk in from outside; she showed a faint smile and said: "Tian'er, you're back."

"The child in Xianglan's womb is gone."

Yun Tian stared at Shi Shi and said.

Upon hearing that.

Shi Shi laughed and said: "Gone? That's good; she got pregnant before even marrying you—who knows if it's really yours."

Yun Tian's hand clenched instantly: "Mother, how can you still laugh? I told you before—this child is mine!"

Seeing him shout at her.

Shi Shi's smile vanished instantly, replaced by anger: "You say it's yours, so it's yours? You believe everything she says—are you stupid? I've heard many men have been involved with her; who knows how many men have..."

"Mother!"

Yun Tian shouted in anger.

Shi Shi shoved Yun Tian and said: "What are you shouting for? I raised you this big, everything is for your own good, and this is how you treat me? I tell you, I don't like that woman; you must divorce her immediately! If you don't, tomorrow I'll get you a concubine..."

"Mother, why are you forcing me?"

Yun Tian was in great anguish.

Shi Shi snorted and said: "How am I forcing you? I'm doing this for your own good; what comfort is there in an old woman like her compared to a young maiden?"

Yun Tian told her about Cheng Xianglan's intention to sue her.

Shi Shi's expression changed instantly; she hadn't expected this.

"She dares!"

Yun Tian knew they couldn't coexist peacefully; he fell silent for a moment and made a decision.

"Mother, Xianglan has nothing to fear; if you don't want her to go to the yamen to sue you, then you must cut ties with me. This is her condition."
