Chen Su's tears fell again, but her mood had obviously eased. "I've liked a classmate for a long time and treated him very well, but he ended up falling for someone else. I was very disappointed that day. I watched him hanging out with that girl, drank a lot of wine, and then ran into a group of ignorant hooligans. It was Mu En who got rid of them for me, and then he gave me an idea: pretend to be my boyfriend and piss off that boy. If he came back, you'd beat him up for me. If he didn't, we could make it real and become lovers. I agreed without even thinking about it."
The three of them stopped talking and looked at Shen Su quietly.
How stupid is this kid?
So stupid that I'm speechless.
Chen Su probably knew she was being ridiculous. She bit her lip and whispered, "Mu En promised me that he would seriously date me, a relationship with the intention of getting married. He kept his word, so I announced this at my grandmother's birthday party."
"But I gradually realized that I didn't have any feelings for him. I was just touched, so I didn't really care. But he shouldn't fail to keep his promise to me, right? He can't be in a relationship with me and have an affair with someone else at the same time. So, I want to break up now."
Chen Su was well aware of her own willfulness. She lowered her eyes and held the armrests of the chair tightly, revealing her inner tension.
"Is that all?" Chen Bai asked.
Shen Su nodded lightly.
"Are there any further developments for you guys?" Shen Bai was worried and asked again.
Shen Su shook her head and glanced at Shen Bai. Suddenly, she understood what her sister said and quickly shook her head. "No, no, sister, really not! I numb myself at the beginning, trying to tell myself that I like him, that I am moved by him, and that I have fallen in love with him over time. But I saw Zhou Shuo and Mu Ci together once, and seeing how she treated Mu Ci, I feel that I have not fallen in love with Mu En yet."
"After returning home and seeing what my brother-in-law has done for you, I feel that Mu En may not be in love with me either. So, it is impossible for me to have further development with him." Shen Su hurriedly defended herself.
Zhou Shuo was stunned when he heard this.
Shen Bai nodded. She knew her sister very well, so she would believe what she said.
"Then why did you make such a big fuss? Needless to say, it wasn't you who did it. I asked your brother-in-law to investigate and eliminate all traces of you and Wan Yang. It was you who asked Wan Yang's agent to post that photo online, right?" Shen Bai asked bluntly.
Shen Su lowered his head and said nothing.
"Why?" Shen Bai asked again.
"Because Mu En won't agree to break up. I suspect that he is dating me for the purpose of getting married. It's just that he wants to marry me because of the Shen family, not because of me. Only by making a fuss like this and embarrassing him will he feel guilty and break up. I don't want to be entangled with him anymore." Shen Su said in a low voice.
She looked up at Chen Bai, "Sister, I can't see Mu En clearly. He makes me feel like he's wearing a mask. I don't like this feeling."
Shen Bai didn't say anything, she looked at Xu Yao.
Xu Yao groaned, "Mu En's purpose is not important. What's important is Chen Su's feelings. Feelings can't be forced. Moreover, only the parties involved know best about feelings. If we see two people deeply in love, but one party feels insecure, I think we should follow the feelings of the party involved."
Shen Su nodded gratefully at Xu Yao.
Chen Bai breathed a sigh of relief. "If that's the case, I'm relieved. I was worried that this girl might have some evidence against her. If not, that's the best!"
Chen Su said worriedly, "What about grandpa and grandma? Will they be angry?"
Chen Bai was amused, "Oh, you're angry now when you think of grandpa and grandma? What were you doing earlier?"
Shen Su lowered his head and dared not speak.
Chen Bai said: "You should go directly to your grandparents and tell them the truth. The old people are old and they tend to help their relatives instead of others. Don't say that the boy has wronged you. Even if you have wronged him, the two old people will stand on your side!"
Chen Bai looked at Chen Su with a look of disappointment, "You look quite clever, and your intelligence is all on your face, but you don't have any heart at all! I really admire you!"
Shen Su jumped up excitedly and took Shen Bai's arm, but her tone was a little uncertain, "Sister, is it really possible?"
Shen Bai rolled his eyes at her, then sighed and slowed down his tone, “Chen Su, grandpa and grandma are not the problem at all, the problem is dad and your mom!”
Shen Su tightened her grip around Shen Bai's fingers, her expression darkening as she said, "My affairs have nothing to do with them!"
Shen Bai sighed again and said nothing.
Seeing this, Xu Yao said, "I also think that Shen Su should just talk to grandpa and grandma herself and report it in advance so that they won't get angry if they find out from other channels. As for the public opinion outside, I will deal with it and distance myself from Shen Su."
"Chen Su, be prepared. There will definitely be media reporters asking you about this. Don't say too much. Just say that you broke up peacefully and wish each other well. The more you say, the more it will be dug up. You can also post it on your own social media platforms."
Shen Su nodded, “Thank you, brother-in-law, I know what to do.”
Xu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chen Bai, "Our Chen Su has always been obedient. Those media outlets are writing and spreading nonsense. It's really annoying! You don't have to worry. We are not incapable of controlling comments. Don't worry!"
Chen Bai gave her husband a very considerate look and rolled her eyes at Chen Su, "See? Look for a boyfriend according to this template in the future!"
After the Shen Bai couple left, Zhou Shuo walked over to the dazed Shen Su and poked her with his finger.
Shen Su rolled her eyes at her.
Zhou Shuo sat down beside her, swaying his legs, and asked curiously, "Why is it so complicated? I thought you were just casually dating, and I was worried you'd get hurt!"
Chen Su sighed deeply, "Do you think it's easy to be in a wealthy family? The people around you are very scheming. If you are not as scheming as them, you will fall into the trap dug by someone at any time. Think about it, even someone as simple as you would remind me of Mu En's problem. How can I not be careful?"
"But you clearly said—"
"Yes, I admit that I was indeed moved by him for a period of time." Shen Su interrupted Zhou Shuo.
Her eyes were unfocused, and she sighed softly, "Our families are a good match, and he's also quite good. In every way, he's the best choice. If he's devoted to me from now on, I don't even ask him to be as good to me as my brother-in-law is to my sister. As long as he's faithful to our marriage, I'll marry him. Whoever he's with, it's the same for the rest of my life. But he can't betray me or play two-timing. That's my bottom line."
"Chen Su, do you like him? Do you love him?" Zhou Shuo frowned slightly and asked the most important question.
Shen Su's eyes fell on Zhou Shuo's face, "So do you love Mu Ci? Does Mu Ci love you?"
