Chapter 4: Chapter 4 My Mom Wants to Hold a Grandson Chapter 4: Chapter 4 My Mom Wants to Hold a Grandson “I called you Xiaoyi.”
Tang Jin looked at her gently, a look of astonishment in his eyes, “Good child, you’ve grown to be even prettier and more spirited than before. So beautiful, if I ran into you on the street, I’m afraid I wouldn’t dare to recognize you! But, you are indeed starting to resemble your father more and more, even more so than when you were a little girl!”
Lin Chuyi didn’t really resemble her father, but she knew that her “fiancé’s” mother must have mistaken her for someone else.
Could it be that she really looked so much like Sheng Tingyuan’s fiancée?
The woman in the bed was frail yet tender, looking at her with a face full of loving care and eyes displaying joyful spirits, as if having her future daughter-in-law visit made her particularly happy, seemingly dissipating a third of her sickly appearance.
Seeing her so happy, Lin Chuyi somewhat couldn’t bear to tell her the truth.
Moreover, if she did tell her, and it happened to upset her enough to faint, Sheng Tingyuan probably wouldn’t let her off.
The woman’s health was extremely poor, and after only a few sentences, she was gasping for breath and had to lie back down, not having the strength to talk anymore.
Sheng Tingyuan said, “Mom, you rest well,” and then he took Lin Chuyi out of the bedroom.
After closing the door, he said, “As you saw, my mother is seriously ill, and she hopes we can get married as soon as possible. So, let’s not delay any longer. Pick up the certificate tomorrow, and then we should try for a child as soon as possible.”
Although that woman was pitiable, and although this man was very filial, Lin Chuyi had no intention of sacrificing herself. She sincerely said, “Mr. Sheng, you really have the wrong person, I am not your fiancée.”
Sheng Tingyuan frowned, “If you are not my fiancée, why did you come home with me?”
“I…”
Lin Chuyi was at a loss for words, staring at him in astonishment.
How could he turn the tables like this? Just a while ago at the police station entrance, wasn’t it him who threatened to send her back to the police station’s iron cage, forcing her to get into the car?
Her indignation surged, “I am not the person you are looking for. Please Mr. Sheng, go and verify it again! Thank you for bailing me out today, I don’t owe anybody favors. If there’s anything I can help you with in the future, you can come to me.”
“I need to get married now.”
“That’s not possible, pick another one.”
“My mother wants to hold a grandchild.”
“This is even less possible. Don’t you have simpler requests? Your demands aren’t equivalent to the favor you did for me!”
Lin Chuyi hesitated for a moment, then said, “How about I take a look at your mother’s illness?”
Sheng Tingyuan’s expression was indifferent, “You studied medicine?”
“Yes!”
“A spoiled brat who is good for nothing but eating, drinking, and playing can study medicine? The medical field’s entry threshold is really low. If you want to practice, find someone else to experiment on, my mother is not going to be your test subject.”
“With a poisonous tongue like yours, no wonder your fiancée ran away and refuses to marry you!”
Sheng Tingyuan was indifferent to her sarcasm, “You can go now. Tomorrow morning at nine, I will pick you up and we will get the certificate. Or, you can stay here, that works too.”
Lin Chuyi shook her head, and didn’t continue to explain to this man any longer.
It was out of the question to stay here, and getting the certificate even more so. She didn’t know him at all, she had a pile of troubles to sort out, and she had no time to dawdle here with him.
She went downstairs and headed out.
Behind her, the man’s cold voice followed, “Where do you live? Tell me the address.”
Without turning her head, Lin Chuyi retorted, “You don’t even know where I live, are you really my fiancé?”
