Chapter 374 Neither owes the other anything, but Cheng Xuyuan is the one who suffers
Facing Meng Fanjin, Cheng Xuyuan has made full mental preparations to explain to her why he would risk his own life to save Shen Yumo.
Although his words might not necessarily convince his future mother-in-law, the truth is the most important thing. Cheng Xuyuan wanted to express his thoughts sincerely.
But he didn't expect that the explanation he had prepared would be of no use at this moment.
There was no blame in Meng Fanjin's words, only worry.
He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Auntie, I didn't have time to think too much at the time, so I just rushed forward."
"Being fearless in the face of danger and doing what is right is what young people should do." Meng Fanjin said solemnly: "Both Lao Fang and I admire you for this."
"If you hadn't rushed forward and turned a blind eye, we would have thought you were unreliable."
At this point, Meng Fanjin continued: "But Xiao Cheng, as you get older, I hope you can think about problems more comprehensively."
"After all, you won't be alone anymore."
"When you do things in the future, you must also think about Yuqing."
"Likewise, think about your own little family."
Cheng Xuyuan listened to Meng Fanjin's words and knew that what his mother-in-law said was all valuable advice.
He immediately promised solemnly: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will think twice before doing anything next time!"
Meng Fanjin nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Alright, let's leave it at that."
"Auntie believes that you are a responsible and accountable person."
At this point, Meng Fanjin said, "Wait a minute, your uncle Fang is back, you two should have a good drink together, it can be regarded as a welcome for you."
As she spoke, she walked out of the room.
Watching Meng Fanjin leaving, Cheng Xuyuan's mind was still echoing with Meng Fanjin's words.
Although his mother-in-law only mentioned the danger and did not mention Shen Yumo at all, she did not speculate on the possibilities of the two rekindling their old love.
But in fact, this conversation is full of double entendres, with both propriety and weight!
Think twice, responsibility!
If you think about it carefully, there is a lot of deep meaning in the mother-in-law's words! Just as Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about it, Fang Yuqing suddenly ran in secretly.
She whispered, "What did my mother say to you? Why is she so mysterious?"
It was obvious that Fang Yuqing was a little worried about him.
Cheng Xuyuan's mind was spinning rapidly. He naturally couldn't mention what Meng Fanjin had said to him. But how could he make Fang Yuqing believe it?
Although Fang Yuqing is a little naive, she is not a fool.
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Aunt Meng reiterated to me that we must keep a certain distance from each other at ordinary times."
Cheng Xuyuan's words made Fang Yuqing blush.
She gently hit Cheng Xuyuan and said, "My mother is warning you not to let your imagination run wild."
As she spoke, her face turned a little red and she quickly ran out of the study.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Fang Yuqing who was leaving and sighed softly.
This crisis has passed temporarily, but how should I talk to Shen Yumo next?
Half an hour later, not only Fang Gengsheng came back, but Fang Yuanfeng also came back.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan, Fang Gengsheng looked at him carefully and said, "Glad you're back. Let's have a couple of drinks today."
As he spoke, he said to Fang Yuanfeng, "Go and get those two bottles of good wine I put in the basement."
After hearing what his father said, Fang Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment and said, "Dad, don't you only have two bottles of wine left?"
"I think it's better..."
"Or what?" Fang Yuqing came out from the side without knowing when. She pouted her lips and muttered in dissatisfaction: "This wine is not for Xuyuan to drink alone, why are you so stingy!"
As she spoke, without waiting for her brother to speak, she volunteered to Fang Gengsheng, "Dad, I'll go get it."
Looking at his sister walking hurriedly towards the basement, Fang Yuanfeng felt helpless.
He didn't expect that he was just telling the truth and his sister would rebuke him so recklessly. She hasn't even married this guy yet and she's already turning her elbow outward!
As the food and wine were served one after another, the family sat down to eat.
In fact, Fang Yuqing, Meng Fanjin and others were just eating, while Cheng Xuyuan was drinking with Fang Gengsheng and his son.
At the beginning, they just talked about the scenery and customs of southern Xinjiang, but as they drank a bottle of wine, the content of the conversation began to change.
After taking a bite of the dish, Fang Gengsheng suddenly said to Cheng Xuyuan, "Xiao Cheng, I always feel that you look gentle and refined, not heroic."
"But this time, you impressed me!"
Cheng Xuyuan knew what his father-in-law was talking about, and he quickly stood up and said, "Uncle Fang, I really just acted on instinct at the time."
"I know that at that time, it is impossible to think about this or that."
"Being able to rush out instinctively is a kind of heroism!"
“You did a great job.”
Fang Gengsheng said this, patted Cheng Xuyuan on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's have another drink."
As he drank cup after cup of wine, Cheng Xuyuan began to feel a little dazed.
However, he still held on to the last bit of clarity in his heart, so that he would not say anything that he shouldn't say!
…
Shen Yumo was very busy that day! In addition to the manuscript of "Soldier Assault", she also had to go to Zou Yan to report her work. In addition, she had a backlog of work for almost a month, so she didn't feel relieved until she was about to get off work.
"Yumo, Cheng Xuyuan's novel is so well written!"
Zhang Dening, with red eyes, came to Shen Yumo with emotion and said, "Never abandon, never give up! That's a really good thing to say."
Looking at Zhang Dening who looked touched, Shen Yumo smiled and said, "When I wrote this, I was also filled with emotion."
"How is it? Can I send it?"
Zhang Dening said: "Nonsense, that's great!"
"If we can't publish a novel of this quality, then others will laugh at us for our lack of discernment and ability!"
"I have already given the novel to Lao Li, but Lao Li said that publishing such a work now still needs to be reviewed and approved by the higher authorities."
“But I think it’s not a big problem.”
Looking at Zhang Dening who was full of confidence, Shen Yumo smiled and said, "Then let's wait for good news from Lao Li."
Zhang Dening said, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight. It can be regarded as a welcome for you."
"You pick the place. I recently published two small works and received a little royalties, which can be considered as extra income."
From Zhang Dening's words, Shen Yumo could feel the sincerity of this good friend. She hesitated for a moment and said, "De Ning, let's find another opportunity to have this meal later."
"I just got back. I have to go home today anyway."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid my mother won't agree with me."
Zhang Dening didn't force it. She smiled and said, "Okay, then you go home first. We'll have dinner tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Go home and have a good rest today."
Shen Yumo smiled and took note of his friend's request.
Riding a bicycle back to the familiar entrance of the staircase, Shen Yumo suddenly had an idea in his mind: if Cheng Xuyuan had not saved him at that time, he might never be able to come back.
From this point of view, Cheng Xuyuan is at a disadvantage since they owe nothing to each other.
I don’t know why, but when this thought came to my mind, Shen Yumo felt like laughing.
She stopped her bike, picked up some of her luggage, and quickly came to the door of her home.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, it suddenly opened. Before she could say anything, she heard someone shout in surprise, "Hey, sister, you're back!"
Following the shout, Li Yufei said, "Dad, Mom, my sister is back!"
Shen Yumo, who was hugged by Li Yufei, was also excited.
But she still patted Li Yufei gently as usual and said, "How old are you? You are still as carefree as before."
Just as she was speaking, Shen Yunliang and Li Xueling came out.
Shen Yunliang's eyes were filled with excitement at this moment.
He knew his daughter's situation best.
Knowing that his daughter had experienced a major crisis, if it weren’t for Cheng Xuyuan, this precious daughter might never come back.
It is for this reason that his heart is filled with gratitude towards Cheng Xuyuan.
When Li Xueling saw her daughter coming back, she rushed over, hugged Shen Yumo, and cried with joy, "Yumo, you're finally back."
"We will never go out again!"
Li Yufei stood aside, looking at her mother holding her sister, her heart full of doubts.
She didn't know what had happened to her sister. She only knew that her sister stayed in southern Xinjiang for a while because of work.
But looking at my mother's expression, it seems like there is something else going on.
Just when she was confused, she heard Shen Yumo say, "Mom, after you come back this time, you probably won't go out again in the short term."
"Let's go back to the house and talk."
"Mom, Yumo is right. Let's go back to the house first." Shen Yulin also came over and persuaded his mother.
Li Xueling then calmed down, held Shen Yumo's hand tightly, and returned to the living room of her home.
Li Xueling looked at her daughter for a few seconds, not knowing what to say. Shen Yunliang, who had regained his composure, asked, "Did you come back with Cheng Xuyuan?"
"How is his recovery going?"
Li Yufei was pouring water for her sister when she heard her father mention Cheng Xuyuan as the first sentence. This made her feel a little confused again.
Why is my father so concerned about Cheng Xuyuan today? Also, what happened to Cheng Xuyuan's health? How did my father recover?
Although she had some doubts in her mind, she didn't dare to ask since the whole family was surrounding her sister.
Shen Yumo said: "Dad, Cheng Xuyuan and I came back together."
Thinking that he had lived in the district literary association’s staff quarters yesterday, Shen Yumo lied.
After all, she didn't go home yesterday!
"Cheng Xuyuan's body has almost recovered. The doctor said... the doctor said he just needs to rest for a few days."
Shen Yunliang said: "It's good as long as you recover."
"Well, I'll go back and look for him. We must treat him to a good meal."
"This time, it's all thanks to him!"
Li Xueling also said: "Yes, I must thank him well this time."
"Yu Mo, he risked his life for you, does he still have feelings for you?"
Li Xueling's last words made Shen Yumo's face turn a little red.
For a moment, she felt a little unsure of how to answer.
