Rita did not cry. She just mumbled, "You can't say that about my mom!"
She could put up with whatever Selena said, except bad words to her mother.
"Did you see her manner of speaking?" Selena was so angry. "So this is a good wife you found? Where
did you get such a crazy woman, Aaron?"
Maybe, from the beginning, Selena had a deep prejudice against Rita. No matter what Rita said or did,
she would not accept her as her daughter-in-law.
Winking back her tears, Rita sniffed and bit her lips without a word.
Aaron felt heart pained and angry when he saw Rita was treated that way. He held Rita in his arms,
staring at his mother, and said, "I know you are angry, but this is not the reason you could scold Riri.
She did nothing. How could you vent your anger on her?"
He stared around at everyone present with murderous eyes, then back to Lance and said, "I am the
one who wants to marry Riri. She is my woman. Don't even think to kick her out of the family. Never!"
In the end, he looked at Selena. "Ask yourself, isn't your marriage tragedy caused by yourself?"
Aaron hugged Rita more tightly and continued, "Riri is my wife. From now on, if anyone of you dares to
treat her bad, I will not let it go easily!"
This last sentence was said especially to Nora.
Then he took Rita's hand and walked out.
"You, stop!" Selena rushed forward and shouted at her son, "Don't you know your situation now? If your
elder brother inherits the Leng family, you will lose everything! The Su family is your backup. Will you
be able to leave the supporter now?"
Selena's words shocked Rita.
Aaron turned around and glanced at Selena. He sneered, "You really think I care about this?"
Selena stared at her son in disbelief. She knew clearly how powerful his son was in the past, but he
was willing to give up the Su family for the sake of Rita!
Was he really crazy?
"You don't care? Just try and leave the Su family!" Selena got so exasperated. "For this woman, you
dare to go against me and your grandfather! Aaron, look at you. You think you are fully fledged and no
longer need to respect us!"
"Riri is my wife. It's your own business whether you accept her or not. Actually I don't need your
approval to regard her as the family member."
His tone was indifferent but firm.
Then he turned around and was about to leave when Selena yelled at him, "If you dare leave this
house, you will never get any help from us Su family!"
Selena did not quite know much about her son indeed. Aaron would not care about this help.
Mr. Aaron was not interested in it at all.
Sure enough, Aaron did not wait for them to speak more, and left the house, holding Rita together.
Lance was in a rage. He hit the ground with his walking stick heavily. "Bastard!"
"Father, don't be angry," said Selena as she walked up to Lance and patted him on the back to calm
him down. "That evil girl, I'll kick her out sooner or later!"
"Aunt," Nora's eyes still widened with fear. "Is my cousin bewitched?"
"I'm getting more and more confused about my son's temper," said Selena impatiently, frowning.
Nora's eyes were full of anger. "I thought he was just playing. Who knows he's being so serious this
time?"
"Aaron be bewitched by that woman!" Selena's eyes turned red with anger. "I carefully nurtured my son
to be an excellent person. How could he give up everything just for a woman? This is sheer effrontery!
It seems that this woman is Helen of Troy. I can't afford to keep her around us."
Nora knew how cruel her aunt was. Hearing this, she nodded with satisfaction.
Rita had no idea how she left the Su family.
It was her first time to step into the Su family, and she really didn't want to go back again. The wealthy
family was really not as simple as she thought. Fairy tales were only fairy tales. In fairy tales, Cinderella
married the prince at last, but reality was not a fairy tale but an adult evil tale.
After all, there was still a gap between normal family and the rich family. A woman who married into the
rich family might appear fine, but in fact, she always had to accept the difficulties set by her mother-in-
law and be forced to bear sons. Look at Scott's wife, she seemed to live a miserable life after she
married Scott.
It was important to step into a marriage between families of equal social rank. It was common for rich
families to unite through marriage. Aaron's father from the Leng family and his mother from the Su
family were the good example. Both of them came from an excellent family and their marriage was a
good foundation to support and empower each family.
Rita thought, 'Look at myself. Did I really match Aaron?'
Sitting awkwardly in the car, Rita curled up like a ball. It was the first time she had felt so self-abased
and embarrassed during her life.
It turned out that her mother had a story with Lambert. She finally knew the reason why Selena hated
her at the first sight of her. She finally knew the truth.
"Riri," Aaron called her softly and handed her a bottle of water. "Are you thirsty?"
She felt so wronged. So aggrieved.
When Aaron called her, she hugged him suddenly, which scared Aaron.
"It's your first time to take initial to hug me." Aaron's heart became warm at that moment.
She buried her head in his neck, tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry, I... Did I turn you into a bad
position?"
She remembered Selena's words that Aaron needed the support of the Su family. But after what had
happened today, the Su family would not support him anymore.
Aaron hugged her tightly in his arms and laughed.
How could he laugh at a time like this?
"You are just thinking too much, indeed."
