The night was too boring. Shu Shu kept flipping through the television screen, but there was nothing to watch. Sometimes, the signal was bad and the picture was very blurry. She simply turned off the television and left it there.
Flipping through the phone, he saw Shen Xiaoxuan's number and called her.
"Little Xuan, how about meeting the parents?"
"Let's not talk about it anymore. I'm full of anger, and it hasn't even subsided yet."
"No way, what's wrong?"
"Sigh, it was just a big fight anyway, and I'm not that easy to deal with, either, you know, Bai Xiaoran actually went there too, four women playing mahjong, saying bad things as they went along, relying on sleeping with me to make things sound worse than they really are, I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I just opened the door and started cursing. They only dare to say it behind my back, and I will say it openly, so openly that they can't keep up with it. "You don't even know how little quality that Bai Xiaoran has. She's even a lady from a noble family. Ha!"
When ShuShu heard Shen Xiaoxuan's emotional outburst on the phone, she consoled, "Calm down, they're really going too far with their words. However, with you causing such a ruckus, the Chen family will find it very difficult to deal with you."
"I don't care about him. I'm with you because I want you to love me, not because I'm too angry. He's on my side."
"That's good. However, if you want to get a result in the future, then you'll have to pass his parents' test."
"That I know. Yesterday, Jia Qian also analyzed it with me for a long time. I also think it makes sense. I've already prepared to go and apologize tomorrow."
"Un, we should apologize. After all, we are juniors. If they anger you again, then you have to find a family to humbly pay us back, haha."
"I think so too."
"Little Xuan, there's something I think I should tell you."
"What?"
"It was that Bai Xiaoran. Ling Qiao said that it was actually introduced by Chen Jiaxi's father. His father wanted to control him, so he planted a spy at his side."
"Why?"
"As for the reason, Ling Qiao didn't say it, and I didn't ask. I'm just telling you, don't let them succeed just because Bai Xiao isn't happy with your family."
"Well, I know. "By the way, how are you doing on the island?"
"I don't like the soil and water, this place is too humid."
"Can your body take it?"
"Not bad, there's a doctor here."
"That's okay, I'm hanging up. Little Fatty is looking for me."
"Mm, you're busy."
After hurriedly hanging up, ShuShu started to get bored again. She lay on the bed and started to think about the orchids.
The next morning, after finishing breakfast, Chen Jia Qian sent Shen Xiaoxuan to her home. He said that he would not let Chen Jia Qian participate in this matter and that he would not make things difficult for him.
Shen Xiaoxuan first went to her grandfather's room to look at that adorable old man. Grandfather was the same as last time, sitting in a rocking chair with his reading glasses on. He had a box of green bean cake by his side, and he grinded it in his mouth with one piece.
"Grandfather, are you in good health?"
Grandpa nodded dumbly.
Shen Xiaoxuan moved a stool and sat in front of her grandfather. She stretched out her hand to twist the green bean cake, but was slapped back by her grandfather.
"Grandfather, why are you so stingy? I bought this green bean cake for you. "Don't you know that your grandson stopped you? If I didn't insist, how could you eat green bean cake today?"
His grandfather didn't move, but continued to read.
Shen Xiaoxuan shamelessly asked, "Grandfather, do you think that Bai Xiaoran or I am beautiful?"
Grandpa still didn't move.
She was already used to it. "Grandfather, if you think Bai Xiaoran is prettier than me, you can just twist a green bean cake."
Pappy didn't twist the green bean cake because he still had it in his mouth.
She laughed. "Looks like I'm still the prettiest. I'm the better. Your grandson has good taste."
The corner of her grandfather's mouth twitched. This girl was truly not ashamed.
She quickly took a piece of green bean cake and stuffed it into her mouth, "Yes, it's quite delicious. I'll bring you more when we get back." Grandfather, I don't want to chat with you anymore. I'm going upstairs to take care of your daughter-in-law, do you want to come up and take a look as well? "
Pappy continued to read.
"Hmph, still ignoring me, I'll use green bean cake to honor my future mother-in-law." As she spoke, she reached for the green bean cake beside his hand.
Her grandfather slapped away the hand that she wanted to rob and said impatiently, "Everyone will be here soon, hurry up and go up."
Hearing his words, Shen Xiaoxuan thought to herself, could it be that Bai Xiaoran is coming? With that thought in mind, she quickly left the room and went upstairs.
In the bedroom, she only saw Mommy Chen sitting on the sofa by herself, watching TV. No one else was there.
She stood in the doorway for a moment, her mother treating her as if she were invisible, neither chasing her away nor letting her in. It seemed that Chen Jiaxi's words had a certain power of deterrence.
She heard an advertisement on the TV and said, "Auntie, can I come in?" She still chose to address him as' Auntie '.
Mommy Chen said in a cold voice, "What are you doing here? And my son isn't here, so how are you going to act along with me? "
She took off her shoes and stepped into the room.
Mama Chen impatiently asked, "Why are you taking off your shoes?"
"Because your bedroom is relatively clean, and I haven't changed my slippers yet, so I can only go barefoot."
"You're not trying to say that you're not afraid of shoes, are you?"
"No, that's my high heels. If I come in, I'll probably step on your red wooden floor."
"This floor of mine is of high quality, it won't be wasted even if I step on it." When Mama Chen said this, she had a complacent look in her eyes.
At this time, Shen Xiaoxuan was already sitting not far from her on the floor. She was so engrossed in bickering with her that she seemed to have forgotten that she had already entered her domain.
"Auntie, did you try out the underwear I bought for you yesterday?"
"No, I got someone to throw it on the trash heap."
Shen Xiaoxuan cursed in her heart, even my own mother hasn't received the underwear that I personally picked, yet you throw it in the trash?! However, she still said modestly: "Auntie, I often buy underwear for my own mother, and people say that my daughter is her mother's close-fitting cotton-padded jacket. Buying underwear for my mother seemed like a kind of considerate gesture, and there was nothing dishonest about it. I'm buying underwear for you because I want to please you and get closer to you. "
Just treat it as reciting something from the back as she was a person who specialized in acting.
"Then you really don't need to curry favor with me. I won't take your trick. This trick is good for my son, but useless for me."
"Auntie, I got to know Chen Jiaxian not long after I started practicing. At that time, I just graduated and didn't have anything. The first time I saw him, I was enchanted by him. He was gentle, with a warm smile, and loved to help people around him. I was thinking how good it would be if someone like this could hold my hand and walk my life with me. He was the first boy I'd ever thought about, and the desire to be with him overshadowed my shyness. I wonder if auntie has ever had the mixed feelings of unease and happiness with a boy who makes her fall in love with him? At that time, I would seize every opportunity to get close to him, and when I saw him smiling at me, I would be happy for the whole day. Sometimes I would see him frown deeply, and I would want to go up and ask him what was wrong. However, he didn't dare to do it in his heart. He was just afraid that he would be rude to him. Therefore, she could only follow his gaze with furrowed brows as she looked at him with unease in her heart. I am afraid that he will not be able to see the feelings I have for him, but also afraid that he will hate me if he sees me, so I will never get the chance to approach him again. "
"Just like that, I kept my distance from him while feeling conflicted. Then I became more and more popular, and every day I worked until I was dizzy, but every night when I stopped working, I missed him so much that I thought if he could hold my hand and encourage me, I would have more energy. So when he suddenly began to pursue me to say that he liked me, I was so happy and satisfied that no one in the world could be happier than me. The warmth of his palm was able to contain the coolness of my palm. He would smile warmly at me and give me enough care to know that he cared for me. He would love me when I was sick. When I was with him, I felt his love all the time. I am so fond of his good, I do my best to keep these good often by my side. I really wish I could stay with him all my life, let me feel love and strength. My life was wonderful because of him, and it meant a lot. I love him, whether he is poor or rich, sick or healthy. "
These words were casually picked up by Shen Xiaoxuan. She recited them so many times that she was able to recite them into chapters. However, she did not recite all of them from the beginning. At the very least, her feelings were sincere. She didn't know whether she had moved her mother or not, but she had been moved, because these words were her true feelings.
Chen's mother said: "You love his good, did you think that you can bear his evil, heartless?" What a man can show you is only one side, and if you understand him, you will find out that he has a bad side, and you can bear it? "
"No one can guarantee that we will have a complete future, but we cannot give up our happiness just because we don't have that guarantee. Perhaps one day we will be separated, but now that we are together, I want to be happy with him. His feelings for me are complex. There is love between a man and a woman, there is conquest, there is possession, and the more you object to him, the more insistent you are to prove yourself, so he cannot give me up now. Auntie, I can't ask you to treat me like your daughter, but I want you to get along with me in front of him. Don't make things difficult for him. Even if it wasn't me, I would wish him well and hope he would be safe forever. I hope he will be happy for the rest of his life. "
Mrs Chen was emotionally moved, she could not deny that she was moved by Shen Xiaoxuan's passionate confession, "You think too highly of him, he might not be worth it."
"Having been in the entertainment circle for so long, I also understand a principle. It's hard to buy a lover with money. No matter how high my reputation is or how much money I earn, it would all disappear in the end. A woman's ultimate destination was still her family. I know what a man is, and he is cruel, but he has never been cruel to me, and that is enough for me. I firmly believe that he has an emotional side, a loving and kind heart, because there are people in his life who teach him ruthlessness, evil, cunning, but there are also people who teach him what love, responsibility, and justice are. I love the child you taught me. I love him because he has the qualities you taught him. He deserves me to love him so much. I'm sorry for what I said to you the other day. I thought for a few days that I would come and apologize to you, because I didn't want to make things difficult for my family. The biggest thing that we all have in common is that we all love Chen Jiaxian. "
