Upon hearing Qian Mao's words, Jiang Sisi unconsciously took a step back, looking at him in astonishment and saying, "What do you mean? Do you want to break up with me?"
Qian Mao said, "You look down on me because my family is from the countryside, and you're jealous of Duo Duo because of her excellence, but Duo Duo is my sister."
Jiang Sisi said, "Then I'll still be your girlfriend, the person you love. If you're willing, we can become a family."
Qian Mao nodded and said, "Then can you accept working 24/7, on call?"
Jiang Sisi thought of her father, who was rarely home because of work, and remained silent.
Qian Mao then said, "If it weren't for my mother, could you take care of your family and children on your own?"
Jiang Sisi remained silent, her mind filled with thoughts of her mother. When she was little, her mother would often "go crazy" because of her poor grades, and her grandparents would yell at her because she wasn't a boy. These were all vivid memories she couldn't forget.
Looking at Jiang Sisi's pale face, Qian Mao said, "Sisi, you can be yourself, but I also have my own life. Marriage is not just a matter between two people, but between two families. Yes, you have lost trust in your family because of your parents' remarriage, but if we really get married, do you really think your parents will not care?"
Jiang Sisi was a little confused. She had originally planned to tell her parents about finding a boyfriend, but before she could say anything, she was caught off guard by the news of her father's remarriage.
Up to now, her parents still don't know about Qian Mao's existence. Thinking of this, Jiang Sisi lowered her head.
Qian Mao said, "I sent you to Beian Village not only to let you know my attitude, but also to let you meet my family, but now there's a problem."
Jiang Sisi was taken aback. She looked up at Qian Mao and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qian Mao said, "My family doesn't approve of our marriage."
Jiang Sisi's face turned completely pale: "You disagree?"
Qian Mao sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out this way."
Jiang Sisi looked at Qian Mao and asked, "Did Duoduo say something to your mother?"
Qian Mao was taken aback: "What does this have to do with Duo Duo?"
Jiang Sisi's face was pale, her eyes filled with hatred: "She looks down on me, I knew she looked down on me!"
Qian Mao looked at Jiang Sisi with a deep gaze and asked, "Why does she look down on you?"
Jiang Sisi, oblivious to the changes in Qian Mao's expression and tone, was lost in her own thoughts and said bitterly, "From the first day of school, I knew she looked down on me. Even though my family is well-off, she has never taken me seriously. She just chats and laughs happily with Guo Ni, Tian Rong, and Lu Fen. Who are those people? They all come from the countryside, just like her, and they all have that earthy smell about them. When I talk to her, she always thinks before she speaks, unlike Tian Rong and Lu Fen. She just doesn't want to treat me as a good friend."
Then, thinking of all the times she had tried to please her, she said, "I've already lowered myself to please her in order to be with you, but what about her? She ignores me. Even though we live together every day, the first person she ever thinks of is Guo Ni. I'm her third brother's girlfriend, and Guo Ni is just her cousin's wife."
Qian Mao stared blankly at Jiang Sisi's increasingly ferocious expression as she spoke, feeling an indescribable disappointment. Perhaps it really was her urban residency that had blinded him?
Jiang Sisi vented her dissatisfaction: "What is there about Tian Rong that Qian Duoduo should associate with? Is it her mother-in-law who is starving her own child or that spineless man? She is nothing herself, yet she expects others to help her?"
And that Lu Fen, so what if she has a younger brother in college? So what? And that Lu Yuan guy likes Qian Duoduo? Ha, I thought Qian Duoduo was so high and mighty, but he still didn't reject her even after he chased her all the way to Beian Village. And your mother, whenever a man pursues her daughter, she's all over him doing this and that. I wasn't even that enthusiastic when I went there, and I'm supposed to be her future daughter-in-law! She can't even figure out the proper etiquette. She's really just a country old lady.”
Upon hearing the last part, Qian Mao exuded a chill: "Enough!"
Jiang Sisi, so our whole family makes you so unhappy! Do you feel comfortable when the world doesn't revolve around you? Are you the sun? Do you expect everyone to revolve around you?
Jiang Sisi was interrupted by Qian Mao and immediately came to her senses. Thinking about what she had just said, she panicked. Before the meal, she had been thinking about pleasing him, but now she had blurted out her true feelings. She immediately stepped forward, but saw Qian Mao take a step back and raise his right hand to stop her: "I never knew that in your heart, my family was so despicable. Do you think I am the same in your eyes?"
Jiang Sisi immediately shook her head and said, "No, Qian Mao, no, listen to me."
Qian Mao nodded: "Okay, what do you want to say?"
Jiang Sisi was speechless again. What she had just said would be hard for anyone to accept, let alone his sister and mother. Even someone she knew would find it hard to accept. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Qian Mao, I was drunk. I didn't mean what I said."
Qian Mao chuckled: "They say people speak the truth when they're drunk. Jiang Sisi, is this what you really think?"
Seeing Qian Mao's increasingly cold expression, Jiang Sisi felt a little panicked: "Um, I'm drunk, I need to go back to my dorm."
Qian Mao nodded and said, "Okay, you go back. It's good that I'm not in a good mood right now. Let's go back and think things through carefully to see if we're right for each other, especially me, I need to figure it out."
Jiang Sisi initially thought that Qian Mao's failure to directly say "break up" meant he still had room for negotiation with her. However, his last sentence made her tremble. She looked at the road ahead and said to Qian Mao, "Can you take me home? There's no one on this road, and I'm a little scared."
Qian Mao nodded in agreement. After all, everyone had seen that she had left with him. If anything happened, he would be held responsible, and all he would have to do was send her back. It was nothing serious.
When Jiang Sisi saw Qian Mao nod, she wanted to go over and take his arm as usual, but Qian Mao did not agree to her action. He took a few steps back and said, "You go back, I'll follow behind."
Jiang Sisi's complexion, which had just improved, changed instantly. Her body trembled, and she could only walk slowly towards the school. No matter how slowly she walked, Qian Mao kept a certain distance from her from beginning to end. Jiang Sisi's heart slowly grew cold!
