Chapter 840 How Lucky
Shen Qingqian coughed dryly and forced a smile, "Mom, I'm not..."
"What are you talking about?" Liang glared at her. "You're a girl, and you and Cheng San have already gone through that, yet you're not worried about your reputation!"
She got angry when she talked about this. She was not angry that Shen Qingqian was deliberately delaying the engagement, but that she did not care about her reputation.
"Do you know how important a girl's reputation is?" Liang's chest heaved. "Of course, my family won't look down on you, but outsiders will say things behind your back. They don't care why you and Cheng San were alone together. They'll just exaggerate and say bad things about you!"
The world is so unfair. It is obvious that two people did something, but it is often the woman who is condemned and bears the consequences. Liang doesn't want Shen Qingqian to be talked about by outsiders.
Seeing that Liang was very angry, Shen Qingqian couldn't speak anymore and could only listen obediently.
Liang kept talking about reputation, and after a while, she let out a long sigh and said, "Although Cheng San promised me that he would marry you no matter when you agreed, you are already of marriageable age and have had such contact with him. If you delay the engagement, it will greatly damage your reputation."
She paused, looked at Shen Qingqian, sighed, and continued, "Sister Qian, I know you don't have any romantic thoughts right now, but women always have to get married. Cheng San is a good man, you should think about it carefully!"
Originally, Liang wanted to take advantage of today to force Shen Qingqian to agree to marry Sheng Ze, but after all, she was her own child, so the words on her lips turned into a warning.
Shen Qingqian was ready to agree when she heard Liang's tone, but Liang just asked her to think about it carefully, which made Shen Qingqian stunned.
Sheng Ze's words last night, coupled with Liang's words at this moment, made Shen Qingqian's heart surge with warmth. That hot, secretly surging feeling rushed from the bottom of her heart to her throat. For a moment, Shen Qingqian's nose even felt sore.
She looked up at the sky and suppressed the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
How lucky she is that in this life she has people like Sheng Ze who respect and love her, and family members like Liang who love and protect her. All the hardships in life become insignificant in front of them.
"Mom, thank you." Shen Qingqian suddenly threw herself into Liang's arms, hugged her and said in a hoarse voice.
She still had only a vague understanding of matters of the heart, but she knew very well that her feelings for Sheng Ze were getting better and better. If nothing unexpected happened in the future, it would only be a matter of time before the two of them got together.
But she couldn't promise anything to Liang now, so she could only say with a nasal voice: "I know what to do."
Liang stroked her hair and sighed, "You, although you seem smart, may be even less reliable than your fourth brother in terms of feelings."
"That can't be. I am definitely more reliable than Fourth Brother in this matter." Shen Qingqian was immediately unhappy when she heard Liang compare her with Shen Yong, and she quickly stood up and said seriously.
Fourth brother is still a single guy, but she is at least in a relationship. They are not on the same level.
Liang poked her forehead lightly and said, "Come on, you don't even know what you really think, and you still have the nerve to say that?"
She didn't want to wake up her stupid daughter now. She deserved to suffer for not caring about her own reputation.
Shen Qingqian wanted to have a good talk with her, but Liang had already waved her hand and said, "It's getting late. Go back to your room and sleep. I'm sleepy too."
