College Entrance Examination Part 2

Qing Yue and Long Tian had breakfast in their room.

Long Tian was afraid his mother wouldn't be able to control her tongue and say hurtful words to his wife. And in his quest to protect his wife's feelings, he was afraid he'd speak harshly to his mother.

Therefore, to protect both his wife and his mother's feelings, he ordered the servants of the Long Mansion to deliver his and his wife's meals to their bedroom.

Yi Qin was very enraged when she heard this.

The ugly cripple hadn't even stayed in their house for a month and her son was already requesting a separate table for meals. If this continued, she was afraid her son would also request to live separately from them.

"Mom, what did I tell you? This ugly cripple is going to snatch your son away from you. It hasn't even been a month and Brother ordered the servants to deliver their meals separately to their room. In another month, he's going to request a separate mansion. Heh... at that time, you can only look at his photos to comfort yourself."

"Long Yuwen, how dare you curse your mother!" Her daughter's words were jarring to Yi Qin's ears. She picked up the closet thing for her to throw at the girl.

"Get out of my sight! Get lost right now!" She hollered.

"I'll leave, I'll leave. But what's the point of venting your rage at me? Your son will still end up as that cripple's handyman." Long Yuwen disdainfully scoffed and left the sitting hall.

In truth, she felt frustrated as well.

Since that cripple came to their house, she saw less of her brother's face. All her female friends were requesting to see him, but because she never saw him nowadays, she had no way to ask him along.

And as if that wasn't enough, whenever she saw her brother, she found him kneeling at the cripple's feet, serving her like a servant.

"She met with such a deadly accident, but just like the ugly cockroach she is, she managed to survive." She hissed resentfully.

On the other side, Long Tian and Qing Yue finished their breakfast and got ready.

They decided to go to Li University very early in the morning so Qing Yue could sit in for the examination. Long Tian picked up his wife and carried her out of the room in his arms.

The sprawling stairs fanned out as they climbed lower. This allowed Qing Yue to appreciate the glossy silver glow stretching from one end of the hall to the other.

Compared to the spiral stairs of the Li Mansion, the Long Mansion's sprawling stairs resembled those of the ancient palaces and mountain temples.

Long Tian smiled.

His wife's curious, bright eyes lightened his mood. With light and careful steps, he descended the last stairs and carried her into the sitting room.

Her wheelchair was still there from last week.

"Oh, to what do I owe this grace? I thought you had decided to remain in your room?" Yi Qin's sarcastic voice greeted their entrance.

Long Tian frowned.

A spout with his mother wasn't something he wanted to engage in at the moment. His wife's examination was more important.

He briefly nodded his head in greeting and proceeded to his wife's chair on the far corner. With great caution, he shifted her from his arms to the chair. "Mother, Yue'er and I are going to Li University. Don't wait for us to have lunch. We'll eat out."

"You'll eat out? Now you're even eating out?" Yi Qin shrieked in disbelief. Before today, Long Tian never ate out even if he was with friends. But the moment the ugly cripple came to their house, her son turned into a completely different person.

Her sharp eyes shifted to Qing Yue and she glared at her with accusations and resentment swirling in their depths.

"It hasn't even been two weeks since you came here, but my son is already eating out. Aren't you satisfied we accepted a crippled and ugly woman like you? Must you be so greedy and snatch my son away from me?" The venom in her voice would've rendered any strong-willed person weak and scared.

Qing Yue frowned. She couldn't understand where the other woman's venom suddenly sprouted out from.

Yi Qin was truly unreasonable.

She wasn't even the one that suggested eating out, so why was she glaring at her? And when did she snatch her son away? Wasn't he standing nice and well right in front of her?

Bewildered, she turned to Long Tian in confusion.

On the other side, Long Tian was similarly caught off guard by his mother's attitude. He'd only proposed to eat out with his wife, so why was his mother getting worked up?

Sensing his wife's inquiring gaze, he reassuringly rubbed her soft hair and narrowed his eyes.

If his mother kept this same attitude and behavior around his wife, then for her good recovery, he'd have to think about shifting their residence.

"Mother, please watch your words. Things like snatching away your son, Yue'er doesn't have the energy or ability to accomplish such a feat at the moment. I want to take my wife out for lunch. What's wrong with that?"

"Tian Tian, you don't understand the schemes of these types of girls. She neither has beauty nor ability. If she were any other woman, she'd be lying somewhere on the streets right now. It's only thanks to her good father that she was able to marry you. Do you think she'll allow you to leave her side and escape from her grasp? No, in order to control you, she'll act pitiful and stick to you like an annoying gum!" She anxiously got out of her seat and ran over to his side, and tearfully held Long Tian's arm.

"Mother, enough! I don't want to talk about this same topic anymore. Yue'er and I are going out. Don't wait for us." Long Tian annoyedly shrugged off his mother and pushed his wife's wheelchair.

He knew there wasn't any point in speaking sense with his mother and had no desire to do so. Any more words and they would miss his wife's appointment.

With cold determination, he walked past his stunned mother towards the black-gold glass doors.

Yi Qin wasn't expecting to be brushed off so easily, that too, by her own son. For a moment, she felt stumped and at a loss on what to do about his cold behavior.

It was only when they'd long past her that she returned to her senses.

"Da** it! Since when has my own son begun behaving so coldly with me?" Frustrated and annoyed, she turned on her feet and chased after their retreating backs.

"Tian Tian! How can you ignore me like this? Do your mother's words have no meaning anymore?" She screamed and yelled in dissatisfaction and heartache.

Her tearful voice sounded so wronged and aggrieved that even Qing Yue felt troubled. She turned her head to find Yi Qin standing at the black-gold glass doors with a sorrowful expression on her face.

Unfortunately, Long Tian didn't stop nor did he turn back. With firm and determined steps, he led his wife to the awaiting hovership.
