Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1109 At A Good Place

1109  At A Good Place

Old Madam Song was a little taken aback when she heard that tone from her own daughter who rarely talked back to her. In fact, Song Xin'ai had a very small presence in the Song family since she was young. She didn't like pleasing others, she didn't like talking, and she didn't know how to coax. No matter what, she just wasn't the kind of child parents would notice because she never tried to get attention.

So what if she was always at the top of the class? Once or twice, it might have made a difference but eventually, everyone in the Song family got used to her exceptional intelligence.

She slowly got her parents' attention when she was in more and more international competitions. Because of that, even her father was praised by his colleagues and seniors which made him look at this daughter who was almost invisible in the family.

But Old Madam Song didn't care about such things. She only started noticing Song Xin'ai when she felt like Song Xin'ai was rebelling against her authority. The daughter who never even had her own opinions, actually started talking back once she started dating Xiang Hulin. She actually let her be because she thought once Song Xin'ai married into the Xiang family, she'd be able to help her natal family.

However, Song Xin'ai did no such thing and became more and more distant from her natal family which was unacceptable to Old Madam Song.

Sadly, she couldn't do anything since at that time, Old Madam Xiang was alive and someone like Old Madam Song was no match for Old Madam Xiang. That's why during the time Song Xin'ai had been married Xiang Hulin, the Song family had been restrained.

As for why Old Madam Song was suddenly reminded of these old times was that, it had been years since Song Xin'ai had spoken such sarcastic words to her. Actually, she knew she had been dragging Song Xin'ai for years but she got used to it. If it wasn't that leaders valued Song Xin'ai very much for her talent, what Old Madam Song had done over the years to discredit her would have ruined her career.

"I'm your mother, Xin'ai," Old Madam Song suddenly changed her tune and decided to play a soft game. "How can I not feel wrong for you, my daughter?"

Song Xin'ai almost rolled her eyes when she heard that. She wasn't a little kid who needed her parents' love or validation anymore. Her own children were old enough to be married. In fact, she just learned that she was already a grandmother. So, she didn't believe a word her mother said to her.

She was actually curious how her own mother was still so energetic and nose at her age while she always felt tired these days. She really couldn't understand it. Okay, she agreed that people used to get married early back in her parents' era but still, her mother was well over seventy and was still trying to rule over her head.

"Your daughter is getting married and no one even told you about that," Old Madam Song was saying. "Think about it. What will the people say?"

Song Xin'ai sneered, "So, what you care about is what will people say and not what I'll feel, right?"

"No, no. How can you think like that about your own mother?"

"Mother, you're just mad that the Xiang family didn't call you to this engagement that had been the talk of the town. You're afraid of how you'll face the people now since you weren't even invited to the engagement of your granddaughter. But mother, are you forgetting? No one knows that Raelle is my daughter or your granddaughter. No one will say anything to you if you don't tell them that Raelle is my daughter. Wouldn't that solve anything?"

Old Madam Song was fuming but still controlled her temper to say, "Why are you so disappointing? I'm doing it for you. Don't you want me to question the Xiang family? After all, you gave birth to three children for that family. How can they forget you on such an occasion?"

"Am I recalling it wrong? I just heard that last week my brother's daughter also got engaged. I wasn't invited there either. So, Mother, if you can forget me so easily, how can I blame the rest of the world, eh?"

Old Madam Song's words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak.

She took a deep breath and said, "You have learned to talk."

"I always knew how to talk," replied Song Xin'ai. "I just respected you. But let me warn you once again, my children are off-limits. I never allowed you to control Wai, I won't allow you to interfere in Weimin's life and Raelle? Raelle has nothing to do with you. Keep this in mind. I am old now. All those things that you used to control me are nothing to me anymore. So, be wise and be calm now. At your age, you should be more concerned about your health rather than about me and my children. Have a good day!"

Song Xin'ai hung up the call and actually felt good about it.

She didn't like troublesome things just like Raelle so she gave into her family over and over again. But they really had been treating her as a pushover lately. She had to stop it at one point. And since this time, her mother set her eyes on Raelle, she decided to break the pot.

She turned around and looked at Raelle on the stage. Then her eyes wandered off to Xiang Wai and eventually, she found Xiang Weimin in the crowd with Justin. Seeing the smiles on her children's faces, she felt relaxed in a way she had never done before. She nodded to herself. Indeed, she was old now. She had done enough for this country. It was okay even if she lost everything else now.

It was enough for her to know that she all her children were at a good place in their lives now.

Families are like a flower garden. Some get flowers like Raelle.

While some sadly end up with thorns like Song Xin'ai. XiaoMeeHee
