1670: No Buts

No Buts

"Although Miss Nangong developed YRHBO, it's not like she can tell if the drug is actually effective on Hao. The usefulness of the drug is determined through specialized machinery, so I won't allow them to remove any alveoli samples from Hao's lungs!"1

Seeing that Old Master Ning and Ning Haoran were about to agree to the procedure, Mrs. Ning stood up.

"Xiao Yushan, Hao is my son. What right do you have to forbid him to undergo surgery?"

Xiao Yushan smiled graciously and replied, "The right I have as Ning Haoyu's lawfully wedded wife and the Ning family's acknowledged daughter-in-law, of course. Mao Yating, Ning Wenhao isn't just your son, but also the eldest grandson of the Ning family. Now that Haoyu is no longer around, no one can go against your decisions. However, I hope you know that Father has the final say in the Ning family. As Ning Haoyu's lawfully wedded wife and Hao's mother, I have the right to decide Hao's matters."

Nangong Nuannuan understood the relationship between Xiao Yushan and Auntie Mao through their conversation. 

It turned out that Ning Wenhao was the illegitimate son of Auntie Mao and the second son of the Ning family, Ning Haoyu. Ning Haoyu's legal wife was Xiao Yushan, who was now smiling like a matriarch.

Xiao Yushan was using her status as the matriarch of the household to pressure Auntie Mao. It was obvious that Old Master Ning and Ning Haoran greatly upheld traditional values. They were on Xiao Yushan's side and treated Auntie Mao badly.

Mrs. Ning was furious.

"Xiao Yushan, Hao is my son! No matter what his identity is, he's the son that I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. What right do you have to decide his fate for me? I've never thought about joining the Ning family, but you have no right to stop me from saving my son!"

"Don't tell me your son isn't my grandson too!" Old Master Ning barked angrily. He had the attitude of someone high and mighty.

"If it wasn't for me and the Ning family, Hao would've died a long time ago. And now you want to use your identity as Hao's mother to threaten me?"

"But…"

"No buts. Just like Yushan said, although Miss Nangong developed this drug, she can't see if this drug is effective on Hao. The doctor has already told us that the medicine is effective after monitoring his condition with some equipment, so you should listen to the doctor. Although Yushan isn't Hao's biological mother, she's doing this for his sake."

Old Master Ning then ordered the doctor, "Push Hao back to the intensive care unit. From now on, no one is allowed to visit him, not even his own mother."

"Yes."

Nuannuan had hung around Grandpa Chi and Grandpa Nangong too much—they were kind and amiable old men. This was the first time she had seen an old elderly like Old Master Ning being so overbearing, arrogant, and self-centered.

Seeing that the doctor and nurses were about to push Ning Wenhao back into the ward, Nangong Nuannuan went against the Ning family. She took two steps forward and blocked their way to the bed.

"Miss Nangong, what's the meaning of this?" Xiao Yushan asked unhappily.

Nangong Nuannuan glanced at the Ning family before turning over to Mrs. Ning, "Auntie Mao, this is a new era. Things like official marriages and matriarchs are all titles from the old era. Our society is about the rule of law now. You are Ning Wenhao's biological mother and his immediate family. To put it bluntly, if anything happens to Ning Wenhao, the only people who will inherit his fortune will be his biological parents, spouse, and children."
