Chapter 252 Pass
Mom: Lao Ren, stop beating around the bush, let’s just ask a question, your romantic partner is Shen Xingzhi, your ex-husband?
After her flash marriage and divorce became a hot topic yesterday, Ren Limeng did not say much to her parents. She only explained that she was young and impulsive and took the initiative to find Chen Xingzhi. Ren Shunan sent a message to inquire again. Ren Limeng only said that she would go back to Meishi after the show to talk to her parents in detail due to her busy schedule.
Wu Murong asked very directly at this moment. Through the distance between them and the mobile phone screen, Ren Limeng could still feel the affirmation in Wu Murong's tone, with some calmness that she forced herself to suppress.
The last time Ren Limeng felt this kind of oppressive feeling was when she and her mother were arguing about the issue of changing careers. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but looking at the new message sent by Wu Murong, Ren Limeng unconsciously thought more carefully when answering.
Ren Limeng: Yes, Dad and Mom, we are very serious.
Ren Limeng: He originally wanted to video chat with you today, but I stopped him because I felt it was not the right time for you to meet. But this time when I was dating him, I was not hasty or impulsive.
Ren Limeng: Just like you have been urging me, I am already in my thirties. It is indeed time for me to consider my personal issues while working hard on my career.
After Ren Limeng sent the message, she subconsciously looked through the chat above. She actually didn't know why she didn't take the initiative to mention that her boyfriend was Shen Xingzhi.
Perhaps it is because this is not the most important thing right now. There are still too many entries related to her on the hot searches on major social media platforms. The new program rules during the recording of "Shan Hai" also caught her off guard. Amid internal and external troubles, Ren Limeng still has too many things to deal with.
At this time, she had no time to talk to her parents about this matter properly. Matters of the heart should be treated seriously when involving parents, and Ren Limeng didn't want to start the discussion in such a hasty manner.
What's more, it's normal for her to fall in love at her age, but it's not appropriate for her to fall in love with her ex-husband who she divorced without telling her parents, and she needs to think about it carefully.
Ren Limeng didn't know what her parents were thinking or what they would do at this moment. Every time she anticipated her parents' reactions these past two days, Ren Limeng couldn't help but recall the past.
She seemed to be doing the same when she changed her first choice on the last day of filling out the college entrance examination application form that year. She waited until the last moment when she could no longer delay, then she gritted her teeth and solemnly told her parents.
At this moment, Ren Limeng was not as frightened as she was back then, but her mood was not completely calm.
These past two days they have been thinking about how to deal with the public, the media, the platform and Hanxing, and how to prevent public opinion from affecting their careers and relationships. Ren Limeng really has no time to spare for other things.
Even though this matter was really important to her parents, she could only choose to be like an ostrich and put it aside for the time being.
Dad: Yes, I saw him last week. He’s a handsome guy. (Like)
Dad: That’s great. I’ll bring him to Mei City for another visit if I have the chance.
Dad: No matter what, Li Meng, Dad supports any decision you make!
Unlike Ren Shunan's words full of encouragement, Wu Murong's answer was very simple, so simple that Ren Limeng couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Mom: Yeah.
Um? ? ?
Ren Limeng couldn't tell whether her mother's answer was an agreement with her previous explanation or an echo of her father's words above, but in any case, her mother's attitude was gentler than she had imagined, with a calmness that Ren Limeng couldn't imagine.
Whether they were pretending to be calm or not, their parents' attitude was much better than they had imagined.
Ren Limeng: Dad, Mom, don’t you have anything else to say?
This... you agree?
There were no expected questions or accusations. Ren Limeng couldn't even see much surprise through the chat box. She was shocked in her heart. She hesitated but still asked tentatively.
Wu Murong: We’ve already talked about it, what else can we do?
Looking at her mother's latest remarks, Ren Limeng finally felt more real about the matter. For so many years, their family's mode of getting along has always been like this, with a mother and daughter who were somewhat at odds with each other, and a father who was always trying to smooth things over.
Ren Limeng was used to this kind of relationship. When faced with her mother who might have softened, her first reaction was even more of discomfort. It was not until she saw her mother's question in return that Ren Limeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, there was also his father Ren Shunan who suddenly chatted privately.
Dad: Li Meng, if you think it through, your mom and I have no objection to this matter. Your mom means she agrees, she is just being stubborn.
Dad: Thank you for your hard work these past two days. When you go out, you must pay attention to safety. If you have any problems, you must tell your family. Don't just report good news and not bad news.
Ren Limeng: Okay, don’t worry. The live broadcast yesterday morning only looked dangerous, but the scene was fine. Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who would show off my abilities.
Ren Limeng could feel the deep concern in her father's words. She didn't know how to describe the relationship between herself and her parents, but no matter what, they were always a family, and she had never doubted her parents' love for her.
Over the years, Ren Limeng has gradually come to understand her parents better in some aspects, and her parents' attitude towards her on many things has gradually become gentler. Along the way, perhaps they have changed a lot without realizing it.
Ren Limeng: Dad, do I pass this test?
Ren Limeng: (Careful.jpg)
Ren Limeng: (peek in.jpg)
Ren Limeng raised a smile and sent the message to Ren Shunan with a relaxed expression. She then replied with a silly smiling pen refill emoticon in the family group.
Dad: You passed the test, but your boyfriend still has a long way to go.
Dad: After your show is over, if we have time, we can talk in detail about what happened between you and him.
Ren Shunan's reply was serious yet casual. Through the screen, Ren Limeng could suddenly sense the subtle worry behind her father's words. With a warmth that she could not ignore, Ren Limeng's shoulders finally relaxed slowly.
Ren Limeng: Okay, okay, I’ll do whatever you say!
Ren Limeng: Dad, thank you and mom, especially thank you. You must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes to make my mom have the attitude she has today. I’m kneeling here to thank you!
She remembered that when she returned to Mei City last week, her mother's attitude was still a little oppressive. This week, she encountered a series of revelations on major social media hot searches. Ren Limeng never expected that her parents' attitude would be so calm. She was finally relieved.
Ren Limeng sent her playful words of thanks with a smile in her eyes, but with her father's reply, the smile in her eyes suddenly became a little complicated.
Dad: What’s there to thank me for?
Dad: You are 32 years old, not 18, Li Meng. From the moment you chose to be a host, you have to walk your own path.
Dad: Mom and Dad just hope that you can be healthy and happy now. We respect your decision on other matters.
Dad: You’ve worked hard too!
Yes, she is not eighteen years old anymore.
Ren Limeng was slightly stunned and stared at the chat box for a long time. The only emotion that kept repeating in her mind was this one. It seemed that only just now did she finally realize that she had already passed her eighteenth year and had unknowingly moved forward a long way.
Dad: Actually... your mom and I discussed your relationship with Shen Xingzhi last week. We only noticed that you treated him a little differently, but we didn't expect that your entanglement was so deep, but we just didn't know it.
Dad: Mom and Dad are very happy that you told us in advance today that you want to make your relationship public.
It was a long time before Ren Shunan sent this message. Ren Limeng was really surprised this time. Although she had been in Mei City for recording the program last week, her father, or even her parents, were not present for many recordings. She never thought that her parents would notice these things.
Last week, she even had many unspeakable problems with her parents.
Ren Limeng reflexively replied "Huh?" She couldn't help but pursed her lips and clenched her phone.
Dad: Your condition was so obvious, how could we not guess that you were related? We all came from your time.
Dad: You didn’t point it out yourself, so why should we point it out?
Ren Limeng: Dad, I'm sorry...
Her parents' non-objection and even approval of her relationship and public relationship were obviously something to be happy about, but Ren Limeng inexplicably felt tears welling up in her eyes. It was difficult for her to describe the mixed feelings she had at the moment.
Ren Limeng: I’m sorry about many things. I seem to have not been very sensible and have caused you a lot of trouble.
Ren Limeng deleted and reduced the short line of words. At this moment, he had a lot to say, but it seemed that no amount of words could express it.
Ren Limeng has resented her parents for many years. They did not handle many things perfectly. There were too many problems between them that could not be explained. There was no right or wrong, but she still felt resentful.
But in the past two days, when her parents suddenly bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, Ren Limeng's heart softened unconsciously. She couldn't help but reflect on herself, and too many things in her memories were without the pain and struggle she had at that time.
What happened back then might have just been a matter of both sides having difficulties.
Or maybe it's just because everything happened so long ago that she is no longer the confused person she was back then, or maybe this is just a reality that all East Asian children have to accept.
In any case, Ren Limeng believed that she was lucky enough.
Dad: Li Meng, you have always been very sensible and we have always been proud of you.
Ren Shunan seemed to understand the many words that Ren Limeng did not express. Unlike Ren Limeng's implicit expression, the words Ren Shunan sent to Ren Limeng contained traces of comfort and emotion.
Dad: There’s nothing to feel sorry for, Li Meng. You did a great job.
Dad: The night before yesterday, Meixiang Theater organized everyone to watch your program "Mountains and Seas" together in the Anxiang Hall. When you appeared on the screen, everyone praised you for being excellent. Not only me, but even your mother was very happy at the time. She was just embarrassed to tell you.
Dad: Now it seems that maybe your choice was not wrong. If you must say sorry, it may be us who are sorry to you.
Dad: Baby, mom and dad are proud of you.
Ren Limeng: Dad, thank you.
Ren Limeng: But could you please not be so sentimental all of a sudden? I’m in the dressing room touching up my makeup. If you do that, all my work will be in vain (wink)
