Chapter 88 Your Future Mother-in-Law Is Not Easy to Handle
Having received Huang Shan's request, Chu Rou took it to heart and decided to observe the situation more closely.
She called the waiter over and ordered a coffee. "Brother Shen Yan, what would you like to drink?"
“He’s drinking a latte,” Heidi interrupted before Shen Yan could speak, “I want a latte too.”
"I'd like an Americano," Shen Yan said calmly.
"Brother Yan, don't you like lattes?" Heidi asked, somewhat embarrassed.
"It's you who thinks I like lattes, not that I like lattes."
Shen Yan found it very annoying; Heidi was just like his mother, always wanting to make decisions for others.
Chu Rou relayed a message to Huang Shan: "[Brother Shen Yan said he likes Americano coffee.]"
Huang Shan: [Yes, I know. I figured out his preferences in just one week.]
Chu Rou: [Wow, Heidi seems to have known Shen Yan for a long time, and she didn't even know.]
Huang Shan: [This is simple, long mouths are for asking questions. Heidi looks really pretty, Sister Chu Rou, what should I do?]
Chu Rou glanced at Heidi, "She's not much prettier than you, but more importantly, she doesn't have Chen Yan's heart. You still have a great chance."
"Xiao Rou!" Shen Yan suddenly called out to Chu Rou.
"Hmm?" Chu Rou looked up at him. "Brother Shen Yan, what's wrong?"
"Has Chu Mingjie contacted you recently?" Shen Yan asked.
Chu Rou shook her head. "No, I haven't seen him since he withdrew the lawsuit."
Shen Yan tapped his fingers on the table. "I checked on him a few days ago. He and your grandmother went back to the countryside. Someone helped pay off his gambling debts and even bought him ten acres of land."
After hearing Shen Yan's words, Chu Rou's face darkened. She racked her brains trying to figure out who could help this scumbag, but she couldn't think of anyone after thinking for a long time.
She picked up her cup, took a sip of coffee, and asked, "Who can help Chu Mingjie pay off so much money?"
"What do you think? Who has that much money?" Shen Yan glanced at Chu Rou but didn't explain.
Chu Rou was taken aback. The richest person around her was Mo Chi, but all his money was in her hands. Could it be that there was still some that hadn't been handed over?
It's highly likely that Mo Chi was behind this. Chu Rou recalled that Mo Chi had been out for half a day that day, and then Chu Mingjie withdrew the lawsuit that same day.
The thought of how much money Mo Chi had spent on Chu Mingjie made her angry, but even more so, she felt heartbroken—two or three hundred thousand yuan!
"Brother Yan, what are you talking about?" Heidi was getting anxious because she couldn't get a word in edgewise; she didn't want Shen Yan to talk to this woman.
"It's nothing, it has nothing to do with you," Shen Yan said dismissively.
"Brother Shenyan, did Shanshan say when she's coming back?" Chu Rou deliberately brought up Huang Shan to interrupt Heidi.
Shen Yan pondered Chu Rou's question, trying hard to recall, "She mentioned it, but I forgot, maybe after the fifteenth!"
"Won't you miss her?" Chu Rou asked with a grin. "With Shan Shan around, you'll never have to worry about food or drink."
Shen Yan agreed with Chu Rou's words, "Yes, I really feel a little uncomfortable without her by my side."
"Hey!" Heidi suddenly slammed her hand on the table, pointed at Chu Rou, and said, "Can you please stop talking to Brother Yan? I don't like you."
"Heidi, what are you doing?" Shen Yan frowned.
Chu Rou sneered, crossed her arms, and glanced at Heidi sideways. "The way you talk, it's like I like you."
"You have no manners at all. No wonder Brother Shen Yan doesn't like you."
"Who said Yan-ge doesn't like me?" Heidi said angrily. "If he doesn't like me, would he like you, this burden?"
Chu Rou hated being called a burden more than anything in her life. Her chest heaved violently, and she was just about to stand up and start cursing when Shi Jingman, sitting next to her, suddenly started yelling.
"Sun Wanying, who are you calling shameless? Say it again and see what happens!"
Chu Rou ignored Hai Di and hurriedly went over to check the situation.
Shen Yan and Heidi followed.
Shen Minghui hugged Shi Jingman in his arms. "Wife, don't take it to heart. Getting angry is bad for your health."
Seeing this, Sun Wanying felt bad and said even more harshly, "What if I say it ten more times? Tell your little vixen to stay away from my son."
"She can forget about marrying Shen Yan in this lifetime, because I don't agree!"
Shi Jingman tried to tickle Sun Wanying, but Shen Minghui held her so tightly she couldn't move. "You're the vixen! You're so old and you still have designs on my husband. You're the most shameless one."
“My Rou Rou has a boyfriend. When did she say she was going to marry Chen Yan? You’re just throwing mud at her like this. Is your mouth a cesspool? Your words are so foul.”
Shi Jingman became increasingly angry as she spoke, and in a moment of irritation, she picked up the water glass beside her and splashed the warm water inside onto Sun Wanying.
It's a pity it wasn't boiling water; she really got off easy!
"Ah!" Sun Wanying screamed, "You shrew, how could Shen Minghui fall for a woman like you?"
"My mother is still better than you, no matter how bad she is!" Chu Rou said coldly from the side. "I only call you Aunt Sun because of Brother Chen Yan. Since you have no shame, I don't need to give you any face either."
“Living with a woman like you is Uncle Shen’s misfortune. I think the best decision he ever made was to divorce you.”
"The most pitiful one is Brother Shen Yan, he can never escape you in this lifetime."
"You...you..." Sun Wanying couldn't say a word, and her eyes rolled back as she was about to faint.
Chu Rou grabbed her wrist and pressed on a certain acupoint. Sun Wanying immediately came to her senses, "It hurts! It hurts! Let go!"
Chu Rou shook off her hand, "Not pretending to be unconscious anymore?"
Sun Wanying said angrily, "Shen Minghui, are you just going to let this girl talk about me like that?"
Shen Minghui said coldly, "I think Rou Rou is right. You've lived for fifty years and still don't know how to respect others. You've really wasted your life."
"We don't need to see each other anymore except for attending Shen Yan's wedding."
"There's one more thing I want to tell you: even if you don't go abroad, I will still divorce you. No man can stand your controlling nature."
"Shen Yan!" Sun Wanying was furious. She roared, "Are you just going to stand by and watch them bully me like this?"
Shen Yan felt as if his limbs were filled with lead, he couldn't lift his arms, his chest was sealed with cement, and he couldn't breathe.
He felt helpless. Chu Rou was right. His father could divorce his mother and escape, but he had no right to choose his parents and would be trapped in this seal forever.
"Mom..." Shen Yan's voice was weak, "Stop making a scene, let my dad go, let me go!"
"Useless trash!" Sun Wanying slapped Shen Yan across the face. "What good are you to me!"
After hitting Shen Yan, Sun Wanying turned around and glared fiercely at Chu Rou and the others before leaving.
"Brother Yan, how could you help outsiders bully Auntie!" Heidi stomped her foot and left with Sun Wanying.
“Xiao Yan,” Shen Minghui said with a heavy expression, hugging Shen Yan, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let you go abroad with her.”
“It’s okay, I’m used to it,” Shen Yan said with a self-deprecating smile. “Aside from being a bit domineering, she’s been very good to me in other ways. She’s made sure I eat well, dress warmly, and receive the best education.”
Chu Rou sighed inwardly, silently took out her phone and sent a message: "Shanshan, your future mother-in-law is going to be difficult. She's domineering and controlling!"
