"Looks like you're not stupid after all; at least you can see that."
Madam Wen glanced at her son and said, "That woman Fang Shuning is really ignorant. How dare she say such things about you outside? Does she really think I'm a pushover? Let's see how I deal with her."
"Mom, why bother arguing with Aunt Peng?"
Wen Lechun scratched his head, "No matter what, I've developed feelings for Jingyu, and I feel somewhat guilty towards him. If you have another conflict with Aunt Peng..."
Snap!
A slap on the back of the head completely shut Wen Lechun down.
"Mom, why did you hit me again!"
Wen Lechun rubbed the back of his head, not understanding why his mother had suddenly "killed" him.
"You idiot, do you still want to get married?"
Madam Wen glared at him angrily, "How could I have given birth to such a fool like you? What do you mean you've wronged Peng Qibo? What does it have to do with him?"
He and Jingyu have already broken off their engagement, and in every respect they have no connection whatsoever.
Even if he's still persistent, so what? As long as Jingyu doesn't give him a chance, they're just familiar friends.
It's Jingyu's freedom to date or marry whomever she wants.
Neither Peng Qibo nor any of his family members have the right to interfere.
Your relationship with Jingyu is a matter between the two of you. Peng Qibo is just a inferior product that Jingyu rejected.
Do you need to feel sorry for him?
Wen Lechun was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Mom, he and I grew up together..."
So what if we grew up together?
Madam Wen scoffed, "You brat, if you keep this up, Peng Qibo will eventually use tricks to drive a wedge between you and Jingyu."
I can tell that although Jingyu doesn't have romantic feelings for you, she's still willing to keep you by her side, which shows that you hold some place in her heart without her knowing the situation.
In other words, if she is willing to give you face and spare some attention for you, and you can seize this opportunity and develop feelings for her over time, then I will still have a chance to hold my grandson.
You yourself said that Peng Qibo hasn't given up on her yet. If he knew that you had your eye on Jingyu, do you think Peng Qibo would be indifferent?
If he knew you would feel guilty towards him, do you think he would let go of taking advantage of you?
"A little thing could easily separate you two. If you don't have the chance to develop feelings for Jingyu, given her personality, would she agree to marry you?"
Wen Lechun defended her friend, saying, "Mom, Qibo isn't that kind of person."
