Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Her Personality Has Completely Changed from Before Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Her Personality Has Completely Changed from Before Under the roof, Lin Chuyi had no choice but to bow her head and follow Sheng Tingyuan home.
Just like yesterday, his mother was still lying in bed, but she seemed to be in better spirits than before. When she saw Lin Chuyi, she smiled affectionately, “Xiaoyi is here, come and sit, talk to Aunt Tang.”
Lin Chuyi sat down on the chair beside her bed and obediently called out to her, “Aunt Tang.”
Tang Jin was delighted and pulled out a big red envelope from under her pillow to give to her, “Good child, Aunt Tang is happy to see you. Here, take the red envelope.”
Lin Chuyi held the thick red envelope and gently shook her head, “Aunt Tang, I can’t accept this.”
Tang Jin’s expression was gentle, “Why are you being so formal with Aunt Tang? You and Tingyuan have registered your marriage, this is what I should give. Don’t worry, I’ll give you an even bigger one when the wedding is held.”
Lin Chuyi clutched the red envelope and instinctively glanced at Sheng Tingyuan, seeing his indifferent demeanor, she felt she had no choice but to say, “Aunt Tang, we haven’t registered yet. I think it’s a bit sudden, I’d like to wait a few more days.”
Tang Jin didn’t seem surprised at all, she was still smiling, “No problem, you can wait as long as you want. I should be able to hold on for another year or half, I’ll still be here for your wedding, right, Xiaoyi?”
Lin Chuyi felt extremely uneasy, seeing the mess Sheng Tingyuan had created, mistakenly identifying a fiancée, and his mother didn’t have much time left, she dared not make any rash promises!
Seeing her silent, Sheng Tingyuan finally spoke up, “Mom, she said, we’ll get our marriage license in three days, and we’ll have the wedding right after that.”
Tang Jin’s eyes lit up, “In three days? Good, good, that’s wonderful! Xiaoyi, I apologize for the inconvenience, it’s all because Aunt Tang’s health isn’t cooperating, otherwise things wouldn’t be so rushed.”
Lin Chuyi felt extremely guilty; it was she who had deceived this sick woman, yet the woman was still blaming herself.
She hastened to say, “I’m not aggrieved, you just take care of yourself, there’s still your grandchild to look forward to!”
As the words left her mouth, Lin Chuyi realized what she had said; she had only meant to offer comfort and encouragement to the patient, but she had inadvertently said too much.
But Tang Jin was overjoyed, “Good child, you’re so sensible. Then I’ll try to live a few more days, I must see Tingyuan and your child’s birth no matter what!”
She chatted with Lin Chuyi for a good while before falling asleep unwittingly.
Sheng Tingyuan was somewhat surprised; since his mother had fallen ill, she had been tortured by pain and had hardly been able to sleep at night. Even if she did fall asleep, she would often wake up in pain. Yet now, she was sleeping soundly, with a slight flush of health on her pale face, apparently feeling a great emotional satisfaction.
For the first time, he really looked at Lin Chuyi. He hadn’t expected that she would be completely different from his memory. In the two previous encounters, she had been very arrogant and overbearing, saying whatever came to mind no matter how unpleasant, with her nose stuck up in the air. But now, she spoke softly and knew how to make his mother happy. When comforting someone, she seemed as if she had been trained.
Right, he had forgotten, she was now a doctor, probably talking to patients a lot, she must have learned how to speak properly.
Just as he was thinking this, a red envelope was handed over.
“I don’t want the red envelope, please take it back!”
That at least hadn’t changed, still seeing money as if it were dirt.
He said indifferently, “This red envelope is different; you need to accept it.”
Lin Chuyi of course knew what that red envelope signified; it was from Aunt Tang for her daughter-in-law.
But she was an imposter and naturally couldn’t accept it.
She directly pushed the red envelope back to Sheng Tingyuan and turned to leave.
