Chapter 2055 Apology
However, what surprised Cheng Xiaoyu was that the look in Shi's mother's eyes when she looked at her did not contain much hostility or sarcasm, but rather some shame.
Even...even some appreciation?
Cheng Xiaoyu felt that he must have seen it wrong.
Shi's mother just said that as the daughter-in-law of the Shi family, she does not meet the standards in every aspect, so how could anyone appreciate her?
Mother Shi pursed her lips and said, "Maybe I chose my words inappropriately just now and made you misunderstand. You are very beautiful, hardworking, kind, and a girl from a good family. I have no problem with you."
If I don’t become her daughter-in-law… Cheng Xiaoyu feels that this sentence should be added.
But her mother didn't say that. She just smiled bitterly and continued, "Actually, I told Shen Yuan all these thoughts of mine. Do you know how he answered me?"
Her tone was gentle and full of sincerity in communication.
Cheng Xiaoyu took a deep breath and smoothed down the fur that was about to explode.
She shook her head and waited for the other party to continue.
Shi's mother said, "Chen Yuan said he likes being with you. When he's with you, he feels happy and peaceful. He's met girls who meet my requirements before, but he doesn't feel anything, and he can't get that so-called stable happiness. So, no matter how good the conditions are, what's the point? Shouldn't people be with those who make them happy?"
Cheng Xiaoyu felt warm in her heart after hearing this. It turned out that Chen Yuan had already said what she wanted to say.
Shi's mother continued, "When he told me this, I felt like he was going against me and hadn't considered it carefully at all. But then he asked me..."
She suddenly felt unable to continue, then smiled bitterly again, took a deep breath, and continued:
"Chen Yuan said, 'You don't even know how to be a mother, how much do you know about me? You don't have experience in managing a successful marriage, so how do you know what kind of girl I would be happiest with?'"
When she said these words, her eyes flashed with tears, and then she looked at Cheng Xiaoyu: "Shen Yuan's words really made me ashamed. I realized that I might really be a failed mother."
Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly didn't know what to say.
She didn't expect that the arrogant Shi Chenyuan's mother would open her heart and say so much to her.
After two seconds of silence, Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Don't worry, Auntie. Shen Yuan and I will live a good life in the future. I am still immature, but I will study hard."
It seems that this is the only thing I can say.
"Okay," Shi's mother smiled knowingly, then said with shame, "Maybe I just feel that I owe Chen Yuan too much, and I'm a little too concerned."
She paused, "Oh right, when I advised you to break up with Shen Yuan, I didn't really want him to marry Yu Manning. That girl is domineering and overbearing, far inferior to you. So when I advised you to break up, it was because I wanted to protect Rong Ye so much that I wanted Shen Yuan to make sacrifices. Now that I think about it, I feel that I was confused and unreasonable..."
Seeing her mother falling into self-blame, Cheng Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "That's all in the past. I believe Chen Yuan understands it too."
She couldn't get close to Shi Chenyuan's mother, but as an elder, Shi's mother had taken the initiative to open her heart, and she was willing to comfort her.
When her mother looked up at her, "Xiao Yu..."
Cheng Xiaoyu was stunned. Her mother had always called her Miss Cheng before, which was so unfamiliar. But calling her "Xiaoyu" actually brought them closer.
It just sounds a bit strange.
At that time, her mother walked closer to her, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "Anyway, I apologize to you for what happened in the past."
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't react for a moment.
She was already surprised that her mother opened her heart to her, and now, this strong mother actually apologized to her in such an equal manner. It was simply shocking.
After being stunned for a moment, Cheng Xiaoyu quickly said, "I'm also wrong, please don't take it to heart."
Mother Shi smiled, shook her head, and turned back to continue arranging her wedding dress.
Cheng Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. Although the apology made the two of them even more awkward, it was at least a sign of thawing the ice between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
At least they can put aside their grudges and get along like normal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
She took out her cell phone and wanted to share this with Shi Chenyuan, but after thinking about it, she felt that if she told Shi Chenyuan right away, it would be even more awkward when the mother and son met later.
Because she could see that the way Shi Chenyuan and his mother got along was like a close but not distant relationship between friends.
The relationship is too close, otherwise it will make each other uncomfortable.
Let's talk about it when we get home...
Cheng Xiaoyu put away her phone and changed the subject: "Why hasn't Celin come back yet..."
Shi Chenyuan's mother looked at her deeply, smiled, and said to wait a little longer, maybe there was something else.
Xiaoyu nodded and sat on the sofa waiting, not noticing that Shi Chenyuan's mother, Wu Xinqing, had softened her gaze when she looked at her.
The words she just said to Xiaoyu had been in her heart for many days.
Today I finally took this opportunity to say it out.
But after saying it out loud, I feel even more sad.
As an elder, she felt very ashamed in front of this carefree and cheerful girl.
No wonder Chen Yuan was willing to be with Cheng Xiaoyu every day, but was unwilling to drink an extra cup of coffee with her.
She is such a failure as a mother.
But even now, she still doesn't know how to save this increasingly cold mother-son relationship.
There was a high and thick wall between Chen Yuan and her, and every brick and tile of this wall was built by her own hands.
At that time, she could not bear the pain of losing her daughter. Whenever she saw people or things related to her daughter, she would feel excruciating pain. She could not forgive her husband's carelessness, so she decided to divorce him and escape from that home.
She still remembers that she told Shen Yuan that her mother had decided to divorce her father. Before she could tell her what she was going to do next, Shen Yuan said, "Whatever. It doesn't matter to me who I'm with."
In fact, she had no intention of taking her two sons away, and Chen Yuan's attitude still made her feel sad.
She knew that Shen Yuan's seemingly tolerant attitude was just resentment towards her for being ruthless.
So she said to Chen Yuan, "Mom will go abroad. It will be completely unfamiliar to you there. It might be better for you and Rong Ye to stay with Dad in China. Besides, my job..."
Chen Yuan interrupted her coldly: "Why are you saying so much? If you don't want us anymore, just say so directly."
"sorry……"
"No need. Rong Ye and I thank you for leaving us to our father."
Shen Yuan's words of thanks were deeply engraved in her heart. Over the years, she lived alone in a foreign country, and every time she woke up in the middle of the night, these words would replay in her ears.
She realized that she had lost not only her daughter but also her two sons...
