“Rourou.” Madam Mo sighed and said regretfully, “If only you were my daughter-in-law, how nice that would be… I wouldn’t have to worry so much. You’re so good, so outstanding, why did Ah Si…”
“Aunt Mo, we can’t force the matters of the heart. I’m very happy that you like me this much, but…” Shen Rou sounded a little disheartened.
Madam Mo got flustered when she realized that Shen Rou sounded ready to give him up. “Rourou, do you… do you not like Ah Si anymore? Are you preparing to give up this fight?”
Shen Rou kept quiet for a while before saying, “Aunt Mo, it’s not that I want to give up, it’s that I have no choice but to do that. I thought a lot about it these few days. Ah Si is already married and is happy now. I shouldn’t expect anything from him. Letting go is the best option for everyone.”
“No, Rourou…” Madam Mo was shocked and worried. “You can’t give up. Didn’t I say I will help you figure something out?
“You’ve liked Ah Si for so many years, are you really willing to let go just like that? Won’t you feel indignant?
“Listen to Aunt Mo, this isn’t an irreversible situation yet. As long as you’re willing, Aunt Mo will surely help you work things out. You will be with Ah Si.”
“But, Aunt Mo…”
“Just answer Aunt Mo—do you like Ah Si? Do you want to be with him?”
“This…” Shen Rou kept quiet for a while, then said, “Of course I like him and want to be with him. Aunt Mo, I’ve liked him since I was a child, and my dream has always been to marry him someday. It’s just that…”
“Then, that’s it.” Madam Mo cut her off. “Aunt Mo watched you grow up, and I only want you as my daughter-in-law. Don’t worry, Aunt Mo will find a way for things to happen.
“I will never allow Qiao Mianmian to be my daughter-in-law.
“She’s not good enough for my son.”
…
Outside the room.
Mo Yesi knocked on the door. Madam Mo froze for a while and asked, “Who’s that.”
“Mom, it’s me. Let’s talk.”
Upon hearing his voice, Madam Mo whispered into her cell phone, “Ah Si is here, I’ll hang up first.”
Madam Mo ended the call and walked to the door to open it.
“Mom.”
Madam Mo still looked upset at him. “What are you here for?”
“I’ve something to talk to you about.” Mo Yesi then paused for a while. “It’s about Mianmian.”
Madam Mo’s expression turned a little awful as she heard Qiao Mianmian’s name. “What’s there to talk about? Didn’t all of you say it’s a misunderstanding and that I maligned her? Why, are you expecting me to apologize to her now?”
Mo Yesi pursed his lips and rubbed his temple. “No.”
“Then what else is there to talk about?”
“Mom, can you let me come in first? Do we really have to talk at the door like this?”
Madam Mo looked at him coldly for a while before making way.
Mo Yesi entered and found a random spot to sit.
“If you’re here to speak up for your wife, then save it. I don’t want to hear it.” Madam Mo took a seat as well.
