Chapter 334: I'm Just Not Interested
When Lei Jingwu's mother heard him say that he was not interested in women, she almost choked.
After feeling a dizzying sensation, Lei Jingwu's mother forced herself to calm down.
She took several deep breaths to try and calm herself down.
She looked at Lei Jingwu, who had a guilty expression, but couldn't bring herself to say anything to blame him.
"Um... Jingwu, how come you don't have feelings for women? I've never heard of that before!" Lei Jingwu's mother still couldn't quite believe it.
Her son was good-looking, and many girls followed him when he was a child.
As they grew up, they inquired about Lei Jingwu openly and secretly, and quite a few people wanted to marry into the Lei family.
The eldest grandson of the Lei family, personally raised by Old Master Lei, is highly regarded by him. If he could marry Lei Jingwu, then in the future…
Lei Jingwu's mother was quite happy at the time; her son was popular, which made her proud.
As for daughters-in-law, you have to take your time to find one that suits your taste!
So at first, Lei Jingwu's mother wasn't worried at all. As her husband's position in the Lei family became more and more secure, her son's wealth also increased accordingly.
Who would have thought...
Now my son is telling me he's not interested in women...
Having lived in the southernmost city for several years, Lei Jingwu's mother has been exposed to many things over the years, and she knows a little about what's happening in the port city.
Moreover, some of these things have existed in China since ancient times; it's just that people now view them with a degree of disdain...
But it's my only precious son...
"Jingwu, is it because you've been doing business for so long that you're too busy and don't actually have time to think about these things?"
"Actually, you can still try to get to know them, maybe you'll find someone you like as you get to know them!" Lei Jingwu's mother was still not giving up.
Lei Jingwu quickly lowered his head and looked guilty.
"Mom, there are some things you don't understand. If I'm not interested, I'm not interested."
As you've seen, every year during Chinese New Year, so many families' daughters come to our house to wish us a Happy New Year, but when I see them... I just don't feel anything.
On the contrary, I feel more comfortable with Gu Changqin and the others! Lei Jingwu said in a low voice.
Lei Jingwu's mother...
"Jingwu, you won't be with Changqin..."
This won't do! Changqin is the eldest grandson of the Gu family; this is a serious matter, you two can't...
"I knew it! Why hasn't Changqin gotten married yet? Turns out it's you two..." Lei Jingwu's mother was so shocked that she stood up abruptly.
Lei Jingwu was also a bit dumbfounded!
"Mom, no! I meant I'm not interested in women, but I'm not interested in men either! Changqin and I are just best buddies!"
"Please don't overthink it!" Lei Jingwu was getting a little anxious.
Lei Jingwu's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's fine as long as it has nothing to do with Changqin. If it does, then the Lei and Gu families will become enemies.
"It's good that it's not Changqin! It's good that it's not! Jingwu, you've put all your mind on business right now, and you don't know much about women, that's why you're saying these things."
"You can learn more about it later, it's not a big deal!" Lei Jingwu's mother reassured him.
Lei Jingwu said "oh" and then turned to ask his own mother.
"Mom, what kind of daughter-in-law are you looking for?"
Lei Jingwu's mother was just about to open her mouth to express her ideal daughter-in-law...
But she soon realized that things were different now; she could no longer find any kind of daughter-in-law she wanted.
But rather, when will her son see more women...?
"No requirements! Mom has no requirements! As long as you like it, it's fine. Whatever you like is definitely the best and most suitable for you."
Son, Mom won't interfere in this matter. You can handle it yourself.
"You have to be careful with Grandpa. You absolutely mustn't say these things in front of him. He's getting old and is still the pillar of the family. We can't let him get upset," Lei Jingwu's mother added.
Lei Jingwu kept his head down, looking guilty.
"Son, it's not your fault!" Lei Jingwu's mother patted Lei Jingwu's shoulder and then sighed as she left.
Seeing that the door to He's room had been closed, Lei Jingwu relaxed and lay down on the bed.
It's done!
The idea Yao Shula gave Gu Changqin back then was actually quite useful; Gu Changqin didn't use it, but she herself did!
As for the future... take it slow, no rush. Anyway, I'll be going to Yun County in about ten days.
Sigh, getting old is not good; so many people keep asking me about this.
Actually, it's not just me who has this problem; Gu Changqin has the same issue. That kid is practically running around outside every day now.
Having dealt with his biological mother, Lei Jingwu felt that half the battle was won.
The remaining half... we can't rush it!
It needs to be simmered over low heat and allowed to flow slowly and steadily; only then can it be successfully completed.
...
After returning to her room, Lei Jingwu's mother felt increasingly sad.
Just like everyone says, no one's life is ever completely smooth sailing.
She had a smooth life in the first half of her life. She had a good husband and a good son. Although her mother-in-law was strong and capable, she passed away early. She was a person who could really speak up in the Lei family!
Unfortunately... my son has now gotten into this mess!
She was worried! She was really worried!
Lei Jingwu's mother tossed and turned for a long time, unable to sleep well, feeling as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.
She still couldn't fall asleep until midnight.
When the living room clock struck three, Lei Jingwu's mother finally sat up again.
No! Our son's situation is a big deal; we can't just ignore it like this.
My son is just too busy. He's always thinking about making money and doesn't have time for anything else. Actually, he still likes women.
It's just that... someone needs to talk to him properly.
Lei Jingwu's mother had made up her mind. She couldn't stay in Shanghai for long and would be returning to the south in a couple of days. Someone needed to keep an eye on Lei Jingwu's affairs.
Having decided on her choice, Lei Jingwu's mother thought about it carefully before going back to sleep.
...
Lei Jingwu had enjoyed two comfortable days and was just about to pack his things and head north again when his second uncle suddenly came to invite him for drinks...
