Chapter 2054 The confidence comes from my parents
Cheng Xiaoyu sighed secretly. It was indeed unrealistic to expect to get comforting words from Shi Chenyuan.
But his words "I like you" were enough for her.
The days that followed belonged to the two of them. Even if her mother didn't like her, she couldn't force her. Anyway, getting along between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a difficult problem since ancient times.
She should be thankful that her husband is not a mama's boy.
After doing this, Cheng Xiaoyu convinced himself that he was much calmer and more at ease.
After waiting for a few minutes, Shi's mother came in with a men's suit in her hand, which looked like a tuxedo.
Shi's mother handed the suit to Shi Chenyuan and said, "Go to the fitting room over there and try it on to see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, adjust it."
Shi Chenyuan took the clothes, glanced at his mother, seemed to want to say something, but finally nodded.
He turned to look at Xiaoyu: "I'll be waiting for you when I'm dressed."
Shi Chenyuan left and went to the inner room to try on a suit.
Cheng Xiaoyu, her mother-in-law, and another staff member stayed in the outer room.
This suite has two bedrooms and a living room, with a waiting area in the middle and men's and women's fitting rooms on the left and right respectively.
Cheng Xiaoyu glanced towards the women's fitting room. It looked bigger than the men's fitting room and was equipped with a dressing table. The overall color tone was a gentle cream color, and the furniture and decorations all looked very valuable.
Cheng Xiaoyu had only seen fitting rooms of this level in movies.
To be honest, if her mother-in-law wasn't there, and there were only Cheng Xiaoyu and the staff, she would be very comfortable and could even take more selfies.
Now that her mother-in-law was present, Cheng Xiaoyu could only restrain herself, listen more and talk less, and silently hope that her mother-in-law would hand her over to the staff and leave.
Unfortunately, the mother-in-law did not leave, and she and the staff led her to the women's fitting room.
Cheng Xiaoyu had no choice but to move forward and came to the fitting and makeup area inside the suite. Five white wedding dresses were displayed in front of her quietly and sacredly like works of art.
The staff asked her which outfit she wanted to try on first.
Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at her mother and asked, "Auntie, which two sets did you choose for me?"
Shi's mother smiled and said, "I'll tell you after you've tried them all. That way, you won't feel embarrassed to refuse after you know which one I picked."
Cheng Xiaoyu also smiled. It turned out that the cold and arrogant mother Shi, who seemed to be aloof and unkind, was actually very delicate in her heart. She even considered that this would cause her a psychological burden.
Cheng Xiaoyu stopped thinking about it and quickly scanned the five wedding dresses. They were all different in style and had their own merits. She liked them all...
She stopped picking and pointed to the tube-top satin fishtail dress that was closest to her and said, "Let's try this one first."
The staff was about to help her take the wedding dress off the mannequin when her mother looked at the dress, then at Xiaoyu, and said to the staff, "Celin, could you please bring me that diamond necklace? It might be a better match for this pearl necklace."
"Okay, then please wait for me for a moment."
After Celin left, only Cheng Xiaoyu and her mother-in-law were left in the room.
Cheng Xiaoyu took out his cell phone and pretended to check messages, but in fact he did so to avoid the embarrassment of having nothing to say.
Shi's mother walked to one of the wedding dresses and adjusted the white veil on the hem. Perhaps she was also trying her best to avoid awkward conversation.
After a while, Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at the door of the suite with worry, because Celin hadn't returned yet, and every minute in the room was being stretched infinitely...
She silently withdrew her gaze, but her eyes met with Shi's mother's.
She lowered her head calmly, but her mother said, "Perhaps every mother has her own expectations for her son's future wife."
Cheng Xiaoyu raised her head and looked at her mother, not sure what she wanted to say.
At that time, my mother had already turned her gaze away and was adjusting the bow on her wedding dress. Her voice was not loud just now, and it sounded like she was talking to herself.
Cheng Xiaoyu waited quietly while her mother continued.
At the same time, she also silently told herself in her heart that no matter what Shi's mother said, she was now Shi Chenyuan's wife. Don't take the unpleasant words to heart and just pretend that she didn't hear them.
Shi's mother looked at her and said calmly, "I have always hoped that Shen Yuan would find a girl of equal stature to marry, someone with similar education and experience to him. Character is also important, but appearance is secondary."
She paused, then returned her gaze to the wedding dress. "Because I hope Shen Yuan's marriage will be stable and happy, a more mature girl might be more suitable. She should be neither arrogant nor impetuous, and steady. She shouldn't be too young either. Perhaps this is the only way for the relationship to last longer, so..."
Shi's mother looked at Cheng Xiaoyu again.
Shi's mother didn't say the last sentence, but Cheng Xiaoyu understood that what Shi Chenyuan's mother wanted to say was that Cheng Xiaoyu did not meet her expectations of a daughter-in-law at all.
Cheng Xiaoyu clenched her fingers tightly, her face burning and her eyes slightly sore.
Although she really wanted to say, you think I am not worthy of your son, but I am also my parents' precious daughter and I am their pride.
Why do you say such embarrassing things?
But she is the elder, Shi Chenyuan's mother, so no matter how hot-tempered Cheng Xiaoyu is, she has to control herself.
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't want Shi Chenyuan to be caught between her and her mother on the first day of becoming his wife.
Even if Shi Chenyuan said that he would stand by her side unconditionally.
But she understood that no matter how much resentment Chen Yuan had towards his mother, she was still his mother.
Mother is like this: you can complain about her a hundred times, but you can't stand anyone saying a bad word about her.
So Cheng Xiaoyu listened silently without saying a word.
Mother Shi paused for a moment and continued, "You must think I'm mean, right?"
"No, I understand you," Cheng Xiaoyu looked directly into Shi Chenyuan's mother's eyes. "Because Chenyuan is not my parents' ideal son-in-law. When he and I first started dating, my parents were worried that a big CEO like him, with so many resources around him, might not be loyal. They were also afraid that I would be uncomfortable and unhappy after marrying into a wealthy family like the Shi family."
Cheng Xiaoyu suppressed her nasal drip and laughed at herself: "After all, I may be useless in your eyes, but in the eyes of my parents, I am a treasure."
She didn't want to retort, but she couldn't help but say these words, and she was also speaking on behalf of her parents.
She thought that her parents would not want their daughter to be looked down upon.
No matter how influential their Shi family is, no matter whether Shi Chenyuan is the president or the eldest son, no matter whether he graduated from a prestigious foreign university or is worth billions, in the eyes of Cheng Xiaoyu's parents, he is just a man.
If Shi Chenyuan is good to their daughter, he is a good man. If he is not good to their daughter, he is not a good man.
So the mother doesn't need to feel that her son is so superior.
She also remembered what her father said to her when she went home last time to pick up her household registration book.
My father said, "Maybe our family isn't as wealthy or socially prominent as the Shi family, but you should never feel inferior. When you do get married, you'll be equals in marriage. You should respect each other, and even more so, learn to respect yourself."
Thinking about what his father had said, Cheng Xiaoyu straightened his back and met Shi Chenyuan's mother's gaze frankly.
