Chapter 235 Different Paths, Same Destination
"Huh? Mom, what do you mean? You've taken a liking to this girl?" Lu Mingning's heart skipped a beat.
"Mom, you want to introduce this Comrade Xiao Jiang to my younger brother?" Lu Mingyuan was also extremely surprised.
The two exchanged a glance, and a sense of unease rose in their hearts at the same time.
Mom is trying to completely sever my brother's feelings for that woman. If she insists on doing this, won't the rift between her and my brother widen and their relationship drift further apart?
"Since bribery isn't working, let's try using a handsome man."
"I really like this girl too, and I'll do everything I can to win her over." Bai Jing smiled confidently.
"Mom, I advise you not to do this. Have you forgotten that your younger brother has already found out you were faking illness? He's already very upset with you." Lu Mingning sincerely advised her mother to stop causing trouble.
"mom--
I disagree, and my younger brother won't agree either. You know perfectly well that my younger brother is head over heels for his girlfriend, yet you're still trying to sabotage him; that's dictatorial.
Your faking illness has already created a rift between you two; do you want to push him even further away now?
Lu Mingyuan was extremely anxious, having no idea what had possessed her mother.
She insisted on breaking up her younger brother's beautiful love, always feeling that the woman was trying to steal her youngest son away.
When did Mom become so stubborn and obstinate?
"What do you know? I'm doing this for Zheng'er's own good. Do you want to see him go to the battlefield and be carried back covered in blood?"
What if next time it's not an injury, but a loss of life?
I need to find a smart and clever woman to keep him tied down. Once he has a wife and children, I believe he will definitely be a responsible and good father.
She wouldn't keep clamoring to go back to the army. Bai Jing thought about it more and more and felt that her plan was very clever.
Even though her youngest son couldn't let go of that old woman, she believed that as long as this Comrade Jiang took a liking to her son, she would definitely use her unique charm to conquer Zheng'er and keep him firmly by her side.
She had this intuition.
Lu Mingzheng has been feeling very depressed lately, because he feels that Jiang Ruzhen is always deliberately avoiding him.
I used to see her every day, but now that she lives in the factory, I can only see her twice a week.
Each time, he had to beg and plead before Jiang Ruzhen would agree to let him stay overnight.
He originally wanted to go to the factory, but recently he has been dealing with more and more things at the company, and he has practically been living at the company.
Left with no other choice, she could only wait for Jiang Ruzhen's favor on fixed days each week, like a concubine in the imperial harem.
Today was the day Jiang Ruzhen was coming, and he tidied himself up in his office, preparing to leave to pick her up.
Bai Jing called him and asked him to come home.
"I'm not replying, I'm busy." Lu Mingzheng's voice was cold.
When he recalled seeing his mother collapse and taking her to the hospital, he heard from the doctor that his mother had suffered a brain hemorrhage and almost died. He was filled with deep guilt.
He said goodbye to Jiang Ruzhen with great pain, feeling that he would rather have died at that moment.
But he also had to take care of his mother, so he couldn't afford to have any wild thoughts.
Those two weeks felt like an eternity; he lost over 20 pounds.
Later, on the day his mother was out of danger thanks to his meticulous care, he cried tears of joy, holding his mother and crying like a child.
When his mother touched his head, was she secretly laughing at his foolishness?
He really didn't understand why his mother would use his guilt to create the illusion of being sick, and then use family affection to firmly bind him, preventing him from spreading his wings and soaring high.
He knew his mother was doing it for his safety, but being a pilot was his favorite profession!
Why can't my mom understand him?
He still harbored resentment towards Jiang Ruzhen for saving him, and he still hasn't forgiven her.
After overhearing his mother telling the doctor not to let slip that he was faking his illness, Lu Mingzheng became completely disappointed in his mother.
He understood that the conflict between the two was irreconcilable, and no matter how filial he was, he couldn't change his mother's determination to stop him.
So he could only drag it out indefinitely. Apart from Jiang Ruzhen, who was his only thought, everything else in his life had lost its direction and meaning.
He lived each day in a daze, but he knew that his mother was a strong woman, and no one could change her mind once she made up her mind.
Since she doesn't agree to his marriage with Jiang Ruzhen, he might as well never get married for the rest of his life.
To his surprise, ever since his mother was discharged from the hospital, she has been constantly arranging blind dates for him with girls.
If he doesn't go, his mother cries and begs him to give in every day.
To appease his mother's pressure to go on blind dates, he deliberately "accidentally" spread the news that he was injured and unable to have sex.
Gradually, his relatives and friends began to look at him with pity and sympathy.
Lu Mingzheng also felt sad, but he felt it was worth it.
At least now, his relatives will no longer try to set him up with potential partners, and his mother has been quiet for a while.
“This is important business. You’ve come back for a visit. Mom will take you to meet someone tomorrow.”
"Ha! Setting me up on another blind date? You really have a knack for ruining people." Lu Mingzheng gradually lost his patience.
"Xiao Zheng, what's wrong with you? Even if you don't want to go on blind dates, you can't talk to me like that!" Bai Jing noticed that her son's attitude had gradually become distant recently.
She felt a little anxious, always thinking that once her son got married, he would understand her good intentions.
But now my son doesn't even have the patience to talk anymore.
“What did I say? I have done everything you instructed, staying in the family business to manage the company and not seeing that woman anymore.”
What else do you want from me?
"Xiao Zheng, Mom is doing this for your own good. Can you please stop doing this?" Bai Jing rarely spoke so softly.
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
Lu Mingzheng rubbed his temples, feeling extremely irritated. He didn't want to talk to his mother in a sarcastic tone, but the thought of her faking illness to deceive him filled him with a deep sense of powerlessness, leaving him feeling frustrated and unable to vent his anger.
"Ring ring ring." The phone rang again, but Lu Mingzheng didn't want to answer it at all.
After the phone rang three times, he answered and yelled, "I already said I'm not going back, I'm not going back, can you please stop hitting me?"
"Little brother, what's wrong?" It was Lu Mingyuan's voice.
Lu Mingzheng sighed deeply, "Third sister, I'm sorry, Mom just called me and wants me to go back for another blind date."
I'm incredibly frustrated. Everyone knows I'm injured, and now she's trying to push some unfortunate woman into this mess.
"Sigh!" Lu Mingyuan also sighed and began to talk about her encounter with Jiang Ruzhen at the Treasure Pavilion earlier that day.
Hearing no response from her younger brother on the phone, she sighed again, "I think that Comrade Jiang is quite good, but you already have someone in your heart, so I won't force you."
I'm just letting you know in advance, so please don't go and ruin my idol's life if you don't want to!
There was no sound from the other end for a long, long time. Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Little brother, are you still listening?"
Lu Mingzheng, listening on the other end of the phone, was already dumbfounded and couldn't recover for a long time. His heart was pounding.
It turns out that the blind date his mother was going to introduce him to was actually Jiang Ruzhen?!
