"What's wrong?"
"Qingqing, I've realized I don't really like Xu Che's mother. She keeps subtly hinting that I should help Xu Che, saying that I should do his laundry and cook for him after get off work, that it's what a wife should do, and that since Xu Che and I are getting married, I should learn to do all of these things." Su Mohuan honestly relayed Xu's mother's words to Shen Muqing.
"What's even more outrageous is that she said that now that she's around, I'll have to do all the work she's doing now when she gets old. She said that since we're getting married soon, I should quit my job and stay home to prepare for pregnancy and have a baby."
After listening to Su Mohuan's series of accusations, Shen Muqing simply looked at her quietly and asked, "So, you still want to marry Xu Che?"
"Yes, I'll just have to bear with it." Su Mohuan was still fantasizing about how happy she and Xu Che would be after their marriage.
Shen Muqing couldn't bear to be too harsh in telling the truth. After all, people can't teach you everything, but you can learn something in no time. Su Mohuan's situation is like this: she won't turn back until she hits a wall, and she won't give up until she hits a wall.
Let this beautiful and kind warrior rescue the naive and innocent girl who has gone astray.
Code name 000: Rescue? You've probably forgotten what your mission is.
"Huanhuan, tell me when you can't take it anymore, and I'll come to your rescue," Shen Muqing said righteously, puffing out his chest as he promised Su Mohuan.
Su Mohuan was so moved she almost cried: "Thank you, Qingqing, you're so good to me. I hope this day will never come."
A month passed uneventfully, and Su Mohuan and Xu Che had been living together for over a month.
Su Mohuan is not as innocent as she was a month ago.
It was another night when Xu Che returned home from a business dinner, completely drunk.
Xu's mother quickly helped him sit down on the sofa and instructed Su Mohuan, "Huanhuan, Ache is drunk. Go to the kitchen and make some hangover soup."
Su Mohuan was still busy with her own things on the computer, and quickly replied, "Okay, I'll be right there after I finish what I'm doing."
But Xu's mother wouldn't allow Su Mohuan to wait: "Huanhuan, hurry up, it's too late."
"Okay." Su Mohuan came out of the room and saw Xu Che completely drunk. She panicked and asked, "How did A-Che get so drunk?"
Xu's mother spoke without thinking: "Isn't it all for the sake of giving you that 200,000 yuan dowry?"
Upon hearing this, Xu's mother realized she had misspoke and quickly tried to salvage the situation: "Huanhuan, go and make some hangover soup."
Su Mohuan looked a little unwell, but she still went into the kitchen and got busy.
Su Mohuan had never stepped into the kitchen since she was a child. Her mother always told her, "My daughter's hands are for doing what she likes."
But today, she has to enter the kitchen and use completely unfamiliar cooking utensils for a man.
Sure enough, Su Mohuan hurriedly knocked down a pile of bowls and plates.
Hearing the commotion in the kitchen, Xu's mother disregarded her drunken son and hurried towards the kitchen, exclaiming, "Oh dear, these are my newly bought tablewares that cost several thousand! Oh dear, this is such a waste!"
Su Mohuan hadn't expected to clumsily break so many bowls. She instinctively squatted down to pick up the shards, but then hersed as she did so.
Blood flowed from her fingers, but Xu's mother was only concerned with the newly bought plates and did not notice Su Mohuan's condition.
While cleaning up the mess, Xu's mother continued to scold, "Huanhuan, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but look at you, you're so clumsy, you can't even do this little thing right. What can I expect you to do in the future?"
Su Mohuan knew it was her fault. She lowered her head and didn't say anything, but her eyes were red and tears were welling up in the corners of her eyes: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I was too stupid."
"Look at you, I didn't say anything about you moving into our house before you were even married, but you can't even do the most basic housework. I really don't know how you grew up. What help can you possibly be to A-Che?"
After Xu's mother finished speaking, she saw that Su Mohuan's eyes were red and tears were about to fall, which made her even angrier: "Huanhuan, Auntie is just telling the truth. Why are you crying? If Ache sees this, he will think that I am bullying you."
Su Mohuan wiped away her tears and ran out the door without a word.
Mrs. Xu was surprised that her usually gentle-natured son had run off without a word, but she was sure it was nothing serious and he would come back.
Thinking of this, Xu's mother didn't chase after him, and focused on making a hangover soup for her precious son.
Su Mohuan ran outside and burst into tears. She had never felt so wronged today; she hadn't meant to.
Composing herself, she opened her phone and texted Shen Muqing, "Qingqing, can you send me your location? I want to sleep with you tonight."
Downstairs, Shen Muqing received the message and looked up at the man in front of her. She had never thought that men were clingy creatures, but now she did.
You can't sleep in my house tonight.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanchuan asked pitifully, "Why?"
My friend is going to sleep with me tonight.
But what about me?
Shen Muqing laughed, "Of course you're going back to your place to sleep. Do you expect to sleep with my friend?"
That's obviously impossible.
Gu Yanchuan realized that there was absolutely no hope for today, but he still made a request: "Can I have a hug?"
The man's expectant gaze made it hard to refuse, and Shen Muqing was truly impressed: "Okay, hurry up."
With permission, Gu Yanchuan pulled Shen Muqing into his arms and held her tightly without leaving any gap.
One minute later, "Is it not ready yet?"
Gu Yanchuan released Shen Muqing, lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her head. "Goodnight, Qingqing. See you tomorrow."
Shen Muqing nodded perfunctorily: "You should go home now, my friend is coming."
Not long after Gu Yanchuan left, Su Mohuan got out of a taxi and saw Shen Muqing waiting for her ahead.
She ran forward and rushed into Shen Muqing's arms.
Shen Muqing was completely baffled. What was wrong with all these people today? Did her embrace have some kind of magic?
Shen Muqing hugged Su Mohuan back and comforted her, "Huanhuan, let's go upstairs first." So she helped Su Mohuan upstairs.
Once inside the room, Shen Muqing finally got a clear look at Su Mohuan's miserable state. "What happened to your hand? Did they hit you?"
Upon hearing these words of concern, Su Mohuan could no longer bear it and burst into tears: "Qingqing, I feel so stupid."
Shen Muqing used iodine to disinfect and bandage her wounds, and only spoke after Su Mohuan had finished crying: "What happened?"
Su Mohuan told her about what happened tonight, and Shen Muqing guessed correctly that it was Xu Che's mother again.
“Huanhuan, you need to understand that you are marrying Xu Che, not his mother, so you don’t need to pay any attention to what his mother says. But given the current situation, his mother may not be able to leave this family for a while, so you will still have to get along with his mother after you marry him. It still depends on Xu Che’s attitude.”
"Waaaaah, Qingqing, his mother is completely different from when we first met. I hate his mother."
"So, are you still going to marry him?"
This time, Su Mohuan didn't give a quick and affirmative answer like last time. Instead, she hesitated for a moment and said, "I married him for who he is. As long as Xu Che treats me well, that's enough."
Shen Muqing knew that love-struck people couldn't be so easily defeated; love is something that makes people blind.
"What if his mother continues like this, or even escalates the situation later?"
