Zhong Tingyue and Chu's mother entered a house. Zhong Tingyue looked around the room, thoughtfully considering the interior design, while Chu's mother stared at Zhong Tingyue, her eyes blinking rapidly.
"Hmm... Sister, is my face dirty?" Zhong Tingyue turned around, and their eyes met. She touched her face and asked.
"No," Chu's mother chuckled. "You look especially beautiful today."
A faint blush rose to Zhong Tingyue's delicate face.
"I remember you don't have a boyfriend, right?" Chu's mother asked.
“Um…yes.” Zhong Tingyue hesitated for a moment before answering softly.
"Then let me introduce you to a boyfriend."
"No need, no need." Upon hearing this, Zhong Tingyue refused directly, firmly waving her hand, "Thank you for your kindness, sister, but my studio has just opened and my career is not yet established, so I don't want to be in a relationship for the time being."
"real?"
"Um."
"Sigh!" Chu's mother sighed, a sad look on her face. "My dear child wasn't so lucky."
Huh? This?
Zhong Tingyue was stunned.
Looking at Chu Ma's worried face, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
She had originally come to look at house designs, but Chu's mother's simple words lingered in her mind and wouldn't leave for a long time.
As for work, he completely forgot about it.
When I left the house, the sun was setting and the sky was ablaze with red clouds.
Chu's mother called Chu Fang and asked him to come pick them up. After hanging up, she turned to Zhong Tingyue and said, "Little sister, let's go for a walk."
"good."
Zhong Tingyue pushed Chu's mother slowly down the street, taking a leisurely stroll. The former's turbulent heart suddenly calmed down, and she felt extremely comfortable and at ease at this moment.
All I heard was Chu Ma's gentle voice: "Tingyue, may I call you that?"
"Sister, you can call me whatever you want."
Chu's mother nodded, gazing westward, captivated by the beautiful scenery. Her eyes became slightly unfocused, as if recalling some past events. She murmured to herself, "My son has always been a good child. He has never caused me any worry in his studies, life, or work. One of the things I am most proud of in my life is having him. He has added brilliance to my life."
Guai Guai is an innocent child who is always searching for a love that lasts forever in today's bizarre world; she is also a stubborn child who will forge ahead even if she knows things are difficult, even if there is an abyss ahead; and she is also a fragile child who cannot withstand the torment of love.
I have no demands on my son in my life. I don't care about his work, career, love, or family. I just hope he can live a happy and carefree life. Fortunately, his work and career are not difficult for him and go smoothly. But what I fear most is love. Love is a tormenting thing, and as his mother, I am powerless to change it.
The only thing I can do is to treat my sweetheart's love, that is, her other half, with sincerity. I will genuinely treat my future daughter-in-law well, and I hope that she will genuinely treat my sweetheart well in return... ..."
Chu's mother's voice rippled outwards like water. Zhong Tingyue didn't know what her "older sister" was trying to achieve by saying these things, but that didn't stop her from listening quietly to the heartfelt words of her boyfriend's mother.
The two walked slowly, with Chu's mother speaking and Zhong Tingyue listening attentively.
Chu's mother spoke from her heart about Chu Fang's embarrassing childhood experiences and the awkward things he had done, which brought a slight smile to Zhong Tingyue's lips.
As they walked to a bridge, Chu's mother slapped her forehead and said, "Oh right, thank you for keeping me company these past few days, Tingyue. And thank you for paying for my milk tea back then. Here's a necklace for you."
As she spoke, Chu's mother reached into her handbag and took out a sparkling necklace, which looked incredibly beautiful in the glow of the sunset.
"Sister, I can't accept this." Zhong Tingyue hurriedly waved her hand. "Those are things I should do."
“Nothing in this world is something you are obligated to do,” said Chu’s mother. “This necklace was a gift from someone else, so I’m just giving it to you as a token of my appreciation.”
“It’s so expensive…” Zhong Tingyue looked at the necklace, which exuded a noble air, and firmly refused, “I can’t accept such a big gift.”
Chu's mother waved her hand dismissively, "It's nothing, the necklace is crooked."
"Crooked?"
"A fake necklace."
"Fake?" Zhong Tingyue tilted her head.
"Hmm..." Chu's mother pondered for a moment, "We'll have an answer about whether it's true or not later."
After saying that, she waved to Zhong Tingyue. The 'little sister' had no choice but to walk forward, squat down, and stretch her neck slightly. Chu Ma narrowed her eyes and put the necklace on Zhong Tingyue's swan-like neck. After looking at her carefully, she exclaimed, "So beautiful."
Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, her pale pink skin and the color of her necklace complemented each other, shimmering with a unique radiance.
Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, elder sister."
"Call me Auntie."
"Aunt."
"Hehe..." Chu's mother laughed happily.
After a while, Chu Fang arrived in his car. As soon as he got out, he saw the dazzling necklace hanging on Zhong Tingyue's jade-like neck, which caught his eye.
He froze on the spot.
"Don't look, sweetie." Chu's mother waved her hand. "This is my sister. There's no possibility between you two."
Zhong Tingyue's face flushed.
Chu Fang emerged from his personal world, took a deep look at his mother, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately stopped himself.
The three of them then got into the car and went home together.
... ...
In the following days, Chu's mother did not go to Zhong Tingyue's studio again, while Chu Fang accompanied her to tour Shanghai, visit popular tourist attractions, go shopping, and buy gifts for the family.
Finally, Chu's mother's foot healed, and she no longer needed a wheelchair.
With her foot fully healed, Chu's mother was officially leaving Shanghai and returning to her hometown.
The night air carried a faint, salty, fishy smell.
Chu's mother is leaving tomorrow, and Chu Fang is packing up all sorts of things: gifts, bags, cosmetics, the panda doll that has been keeping her company while she sleeps these past few days, and even the electric wheelchair—his mother wants to take it all home.
She seems to enjoy the feeling of sitting in a wheelchair.
Chu Ma took some of her personal belongings with her, but items that were inconvenient, such as her electric wheelchair and panda doll, had to be specially sent back to her hometown by express courier.
After tidying up his belongings, Chu Fang stretched, his bones cracking as he walked into the living room. His mother was leisurely watching a TV series while snacking.
He took a bank card out of his pocket and placed it on the table: "Mom, there are 30 million in there. The password is your birthday. From now on, we'll bet two yuan at a time when we play mahjong."
Chu's mother rolled over, picked up the bank card, looked at it carefully, and pouted slightly: "In your eyes, am I only fit to play two-yuan mahjong? Why should I listen to you? I want to play for one yuan and fifty cents."
You don't even find it troublesome to calculate the money... Chu Fang was truly helpless with such a rebellious mother.
