Chapter 128 Questioning
  Looking at Aunt Wen opposite her, her mouth opening and closing, Fang Qing's ears were ringing, she seemed to be unable to hear anything, and only the sentence just now echoed in her mind, "It is impossible for you to be together."

  Fang Qing felt that she really shouldn't have come. In fact, she should have known long ago that some people and some things are not something she can covet.

  Mother Wen talked for a long time, and when she saw the little girl opposite with dull eyes and pale face, she was immediately frightened, "What's wrong with you, child? Don't scare me!"

  Fang Qing came back to her senses, her eyes slightly red, and she mustered up the courage to look at Mother Wen, "Aunt Wen, can you tell me the truth, why can't Wen Ning and I be together?"

  Mother Wen wanted to say directly, I just look down on your family, but when the words came to her lips, looking at Fang Qing with sincere eyes in front of her, she suddenly couldn't say those hurtful words.

  Wen's mother felt a little sorry for Fang Qing. Fang Qing had suffered a hard time, and he had always been sensible and obedient. If it weren't for this incident, she would have loved him. But thinking of her son's future, Wen's mother hardened her heart.

  "I think your mother should have told you. Ask me, your aunt, that what matters more is a person's family background and whether they can benefit Wen Ning in the future. Of course, I admit that you are a good girl, but what our Wen Ning needs more is someone who can help him rise to prominence in the future. Qingqing, do you think you can do that? Can you help him in the future?"

  Wen's mother rambled on and on. These were words she had never said to anyone, but now, for some reason, facing Fang Qing, she suddenly spoke all the words that had been suppressed in her heart.

  Perhaps it was Fang Qing's gentle aura that made her feel close to him, and she unknowingly let out all the grievances that had been suppressed in her heart for years.

  "Your Uncle Wen has been so preoccupied with his work that I've been relying on him for so many years. Wen Ning has been sensible since he was young and has helped me so much. Now that he's finally on the verge of success, how can I bear to let his family once again constrain him?

  You've been with him for so long, you should know that a man like him will achieve great things in the future. He should be an eagle in the sky, and as a mother, I will do my best to give him the opportunity to soar freely, rather than letting love hinder his future."

  Mother Wen sighed, took Fang Qing's hand, and placed it in hers.

  "We are both women. When we were young, we prioritized our husbands, and after we had children, we prioritize our children. You've never been a mother, so you won't understand my feelings. For Wen Ning's better future, I'm willing to be the bad guy.

  Qingqing, I know I'm sorry for you, but I have no choice. For Wen Ning's future, I must do this."

  At this moment, Fang Qing finally understood why Mother Wen had been so cold to her before.

  Pulling her hand away from Wen Mu's grasp, Fang Qing slowly stood up. "Aunt Wen, you should have told me earlier. I like Wen Ning, but if you really think I'm blocking his future, I wouldn't have stayed with him for so long."

  Fang Qing walked towards the door in a daze. She suddenly stopped in front of the door and looked back at Wen Mu. "Aunt Wen, although I understand your feelings, other people can't make decisions about love. If you want us to break up, please let Wen Ning talk to me in person."

  After saying that, Fang Qing opened the door and walked out without looking back.

  Wen Mu's mother watched Fang Qing's leaving figure for a long time without saying a word. She knew that what she did was really cruel to a young girl, but she had already done it, so she could only go on.

  Not long after Fang Qing left, Wen Ning, who was standing behind the door, moved his stiff legs.

  He walked out slowly, looking at his mother with a cold face.

  "Mom, didn't you say that before? You said you agreed with Qingqing and I being together, so why did you suddenly change your mind today?"

  Wen's mother had only said that the marriage had fallen through, but she had been hiding it from her son. Unexpectedly, her conversation with Fang Qing had been overheard by her son.

  In this case, Wen's mother didn't want to hide it from him anymore. She smoothed her hair and took a sip of tea.

  "Since you know everything, I won't hide it from you. I didn't think you and Fang Qing were a good match from the beginning. At that time, you had just been admitted to university, and she was in her third year of high school. I was afraid that you would quarrel with me, so I said that on purpose. I didn't expect that my momentary softness would lead to you two getting together. Now that everything has been said, you two should just break up quickly to avoid more sadness in the future."

  Wen Ning looked at his mother with gritted teeth, his fists clenched tightly. "Mom, Fang Qing and I really want to be together. We both have confidence in our future and can live a good life. We can create our own future with our own abilities, so I don't want to live according to your expectations."

  Wen Ning's words infuriated his mother. She placed her cup on the table and pointed at her son, shaking with anger.

  "You're a grown man, obsessed with love all the time. What kind of future can you achieve? I've done all this for your own good. I've provided for you all these years, and this is how you repay me?"

  Although Wen Ning appeared calm and composed, he was actually just as stubborn as Fang Qing.

  Seeing his mother's pressure, Wen Ning's last hope faded.

  "Mom, you once said that I would decide my own future, but now you've gone back on your word. And you don't trust me at all, so I have to rely on another woman in the future! Am I so useless in your heart?"

  Mother Wen's heart started beating fast when she saw her son's expression. "What are you going to do? Wen Ning, I tell you, you are my son, you can't do whatever you want!"

  Wen Ning suddenly grinned. "Don't you want to find a woman to influence my future? In that case, I'll decide my own future first! Our school has recently been promoting the task of teaching in remote mountainous areas. If you force me again, I will sign up to be sent to the border. Maybe in a few years, your son will be the hero of the border teaching team, and I can even earn you a martyr..."

  After that, Wen Ning strode back to his room and slammed the door shut.

  Mother Wen stood blankly in the living room, thinking over and over what her son had just said. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. If she really pushed her son to the limit, and he signed up to go to the distant frontier in a fit of rage, his life would be over.

  Mother Wen was so scared that she quickly ran to her son's door and banged on it, but no matter how she cried and shouted at the door, her son remained indifferent.

  This went on for three days, and Mother Wen finally got scared. She was afraid that her son would really insist on having his own way, so she finally compromised.

  "Okay, I won't interfere with your relationship with others anymore. You want to get engaged, and I agree."
