Mrs. Tang had already broken down after hearing what Tang Yuanxiao said earlier.
When she then heard that Tang Yuanxiao intended to restrict her freedom for Su Li's sake, the floodgates opened.
"A son marries a wife and forgets his mother... So this is how it is... A son marries a wife and forgets his mother..."
She sobbed, her face a mask of despair and sorrow.
"What's the point of living anymore..."
"Just get some rest." Tang Yuanxiao closed his eyes, listening to her cries. His fists trembled, but he turned and walked away.
He slammed the door shut. Ignoring the sound of his mother's wails, he stormed outside.
His heart was bleeding.
He was furious—angrier than he had ever been in his life.
Furious with his mother, and furious with himself for being so powerless.
He knew his mother couldn't accept his arrangement, but he had to do it.
What happened today was enough. It could not be allowed to happen again.
