Meng Chengli was stunned. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"You know, Pei Sui is pursuing Sheng Sheng." Fu Chen pursed his lips and said, "What is your attitude towards this matter?"
Meng Chengli asked worriedly, "Did something happen?"
Fu Chen pondered for a moment, "This morning, I took Miaomiao to the art museum to see an exhibition, and I happened to hear two women talking about Shengsheng and Pei Sui.
I should have kept my distance from the inappropriate comments, but the words those two women spoke were too harsh, and they often tried to belittle Sheng Sheng. After listening carefully, I realized that they were the wives of the Pei family, Pei Sui's mother.
Meng Chengli's expression suddenly turned ugly.
Meng Sheng is the apple of her eye, so he naturally can't bear to see her suffer any injustice. He originally had some concerns and prejudices about the Pei family, and he was just worried that she would repeat the same mistakes.
But now, after hearing what Fu Chen said, the unhappiness in his heart was magnified a lot.
It also added a touch of anger.
From this, we can see how difficult it is to get along with the wife of the Pei family. If she really marries Pei Sui in the future, even if they don't live together, they will always run into each other during the holidays.
If Meng Sheng doesn't like her mother-in-law, she will have to endure a lot of grievances and have to deal with other people's faces a lot.
The pressure of filial piety is not light.
Fu Chen looked at his strange and angry expression, and thought a little more.
"Uncle Meng, I'm here today mainly because I have something important to confess to you." His gentle eyes were full of seriousness. "I like Shengsheng and want to pursue her. I hope you can allow it."
The anger and displeasure on Meng Chengli's face completely disappeared after his words, and turned into surprise and astonishment.
"What...did you say?"
Fu Chen pursed his lips and repeated solemnly, "Uncle Meng, I like Shengsheng. Originally, because Pei Sui was pursuing Shengsheng, I felt that I had a daughter and was afraid of injustice to Shengsheng.
I had been suppressing my feelings for Shengsheng, thinking she and Pei Sui were a perfect match, and as long as she was happy, that was enough, but this morning..."
He moved his lips and changed the subject, "I want to try, at least to let Shengsheng know my feelings. I will do my best and don't want to regret it. If Shengsheng doesn't choose me in the future, I will have no regrets."
Although his voice was calm, his tone was full of determination and sincerity.
After being stunned, Meng Chengli gradually calmed down.
He admired Fu Chen very much, but never thought of him as a son-in-law.
Even if he liked Miaomiao as much as he liked her, from the perspective of a father choosing a husband for his daughter, he would inevitably be a little picky about Fu Chen's second marriage and the fact that he had a daughter.
But since he was transferred to this hospital, Fu Chen has taken good care of him and can be said to have done his best.
He was also Meng Shixu's classmate, and he had some approval of his character.
Then there is his family background and parents.
Medical family.
Both parents are well-known in the industry.
He had also met Fu Chen's parents. Although they were strict in temperament, they were humble and easy to talk to. They came from a traditional family.
But these are all superficial things, and you can't get a glimpse of them just by seeing them once or twice.
If Shengsheng is really with Fu Chen, the issue of Miaomiao is actually the easiest to resolve. This girl is sensible and obedient, and she likes Shengsheng very much.
He just needs to get over the hurdle of his daughter becoming a stepmother to someone else.
Meng Chengli weighed the pros and cons in his mind, but didn't give a definite answer. Instead, he asked curiously, "When did you..."
Fu Chen thought for a moment, "The first time was in the emergency room. She brought Gu Ci to the hospital, and Pei Sui was beside her. I thought they were a couple, but later I found out that Pei Sui was pursuing her."
Gu Ci?
Isn’t that Pei Sui’s ex-fiancée?
Come to the hospital...
What's going on?
Meng Chengli frowned. Why did this sound like some messy love triangle?
Facing Fu Chen's serious gaze, he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.
He sighed and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. Don't look at Shengsheng's gentle nature and calmness, as if she has no temper.
But she has a stronger sense of purpose than anyone else, and she knows what she wants and what goals she is working towards.”
For a moment, he seemed to be lost in some memories, then shook his head and continued, "Achen, let me tell you the truth, I don't want Shengsheng to marry into a wealthy family again.
The rich and powerful are surrounded by complicated situations. Even if she is smart and can cope with it, life is too long. She will be tired of living in such a difficult environment.
I am also afraid that she will be worn down by this kind of life and live like a walking corpse, so I am not optimistic about Pei Sui.
As for you... Although your Fu family is not so scheming and cunning, I am also afraid of hurting Shengsheng. She is still young, and she has to be someone else's stepmother... I feel uncomfortable too.
After all, no parent wants to see their daughter become a stepmother. I say this, Achen, do you understand?"
Meng Chengli's words were a bit impolite, as if he didn't like Pei Sui or him either.
But Fu Chen could sense a softening in Meng Chengli's attitude, which also showed that his attentiveness during this period was not in vain.
Lian Miaomiao's time with him was not in vain.
He nodded solemnly again, "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, Uncle Meng, I will definitely not let you down."
Meng Chengli deliberately put on a stern face, "You don't have to express your opinion to me now. I haven't promised you anything. This matter still depends on Shengsheng's attitude. If you can't please her, no matter how much you say, it will be useless.
Even if Shengsheng says she never wants to get married and wants to live alone for the rest of her life, I won't stop her. Not only can she support herself, but her brother and I are willing to support her for the rest of her life."
Hearing this, Fu Chen stood up with a smile and said, "I will work hard, and no matter what choice Shengsheng makes in the future, I will respect it.
If she chooses me, I will love her, respect her, and protect her for the rest of my life. If she chooses someone else, I will retreat to the position of friend and not overstep my bounds, letting regret become the most respectable fulfillment.
After saying this, he suddenly became hesitant, and the smile on his lips turned bitter, as if someone was pinching his lifeline.
"However... I don't know much about Shengsheng, so I'd like Uncle Meng to tell me about her preferences and interests."
Meng Chengli sensed a great deal of weight from his eyes, expression, and words.
Hearing Fu Chen's last words, he couldn't help but laugh, "It's rare to see you so humbly seeking advice."
