Chapter 1134 My husband is not infatuated with me (12)
"Ah, he's quite handsome." Furong looked at Chu Shenqi's photo and exclaimed.
Guan Lizhen said with some displeasure: "Humph, he is just a fake, with a beautiful appearance but a rotten inside! Only a superficial woman like you would be fascinated by his appearance."
"Hey, how can a woman like me be superficial? Also, why am I so fascinated by his appearance? If I could be fascinated by a man's appearance, would I still be doing this job?" Furong rolled her eyes. This indecent behavior was completely different from her gentle and pure appearance, and it was very inconsistent.
Guan Lizhen's eyes hurt, and he reminded her: "Don't roll your eyes in front of Chu Shenqi, he doesn't like it."
"Of course I know! I'm the most professional when it comes to understanding a man's mentality!" Furong said unconvinced, "I'm just flipping it in front of you."
Guan Lizhen closed her eyes, not wanting to continue bickering with this woman, and threw out a bait, saying, "His family is quite wealthy. If you can successfully marry him, you will be completely cleansed of all filth and can be at ease as a rich man's wife."
Furong sneered, "Become a good woman and clean up your name? Become a rich man's wife? Sir, how can you be more naive than me? But it's true. If you like someone else's wife, you find someone to destroy their marriage. It would be strange if you can think of such a method. If you are not naive."
"Shut up and go in quickly!" Guan Lizhen was so angry and embarrassed by what she said that he shouted.
Furong twisted her waist and smiled, and her temperament changed instantly, from a disdainful queen to a simple and gentle little white rabbit. She walked towards the bar curiously and tentatively, like a simple girl who ran away from home, who was curious about the outside world and wanted to do something extraordinary.
When Guan Lizhen saw her performance, he was immediately full of confidence in her. With such good acting skills, she would definitely be able to charm Chu Shenqi, and this would bring Meng Xi one step closer to divorce. His mood suddenly improved, and he did not feel annoyed even when he received a call from his mother urging him to go on a blind date.
"Mom, I told you I don't want to go on a blind date. Please don't introduce anyone to me anymore. Even if you introduce someone, I won't go see them." Guan Lizhen said frankly to his mother.
The official's mother was furious: "Are you still thinking about that woman Meng Xi? She's already married, how long are you going to keep thinking about her? Are you going to never get married for her?"
Guan Lizhen lit a cigarette and said, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. This has nothing to do with Mengxi. I'm not even thirty yet, and I'm not in a hurry to get married and have kids. Don't worry about me so much."
"How can I not worry? Am I just going to watch you live out your life alone for that woman? That woman is really an evildoer!" said the official's mother angrily.
Guan Lizhen was immediately upset when his beloved was scolded. He frowned and said to his mother, "Mom, don't say that about Mengxi. She is innocent. My not wanting to get married has nothing to do with her. It's just that I can't find a woman who can move my heart. It's unreasonable for you to vent your anger on her."
He lied with his eyes open so that the relationship between him and Mengxi would not be so strained after they were together. Therefore, lying came naturally to him.
But Guan's mother didn't believe it at all. She sneered and said, "You said it has nothing to do with her, then you swear that even if she divorces you in the future, you can't be with her, otherwise she will become seriously ill and disabled, and die early!"
When Guan Lizhen heard her vicious words, her pupils shrank and she said hurriedly, "Mom, what are you talking about? Oaths are all fake, don't be superstitious."
"Since it's fake, then just swear! It won't really happen anyway, so what are you afraid of?" The experienced one is still the most cunning one, and Guan's mother grasped Guan Lizhen's weakness.
Guan Lizhen was so infatuated with Meng Xi that he was unwilling to do anything that might hurt her, even if it meant making an illusory oath. Moreover, he planned to be with Meng Xi in the future, so he could not make such an oath.
"What? You don't dare to speak?" Seeing that he was silent for such a long time, Guan's mother understood what he was thinking. She felt even more resentful towards Meng Xi for seducing her son but abandoning him.
Guan Lizhen opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
The official's mother waited for a while, but didn't continue to force him. She asked, "If you don't want to continue the blind date, then what do you dislike about the homely girl you met last time?"
Ju Shuhui did not tell Guan's mother that Ju Shichu already knew that her son had someone in his heart, and Guan Lizhen himself would not tell her either. Therefore, Guan's mother was kept in the dark and only thought that it was her son who looked down on Ju Shichu, not Ju Shichu who looked down on her son.
Guan Lizhen couldn't possibly tell his mother the truth, saying that Ju Shichu disliked him and scolded him, so he made an excuse and said, "Ju Shichu is too strong-willed. If I were with her, we would only argue and quarrel. Even if we were to be together, it would cause chaos in our family. Mom, do you want to see that kind of scene?"
The official's mother was speechless. After thinking about the scene, she felt that she couldn't stand it, so she said, "Forget it. Although it's a pity to give up her, she is an only child after all. The Ju family's business will be inherited by her. If you marry her, our family will be able to annex the Ju family in the future. It's a pity that you don't have this blessing..."
If Ju Shichu knew that Guan's mother had this idea, he would want to kill both mother and son. This mother and son are equally selfish, they are indeed a family.
"Then I can find other suitable girls for you. Just listen to me and let go of Mengxi. She has married someone else. It's useless no matter how much you like her!" Guan's mother persuaded her son earnestly again.
Guan Lizhen answered her absentmindedly and finally ended the call. He just hoped that his mother could not find a suitable girl for his family. He did not want to be forced to go on a blind date.
Ju Shichu didn't have any trouble with blind dates, but she was pursued by a male colleague from the same company.
The male colleague was called Li Sheng. He was tall and thin, a little handsome, but Ju Shichu had no feeling for him.
"Shichu, I really like you, just agree to be my girlfriend!" Li Sheng said to Ju Shichu affectionately and handed her a bouquet of roses in his hand.
He confessed his feelings in the company after get off work. When the other colleagues who had not left saw him, they immediately surrounded him and urged Ju Shichu to agree: "Promise him! Promise him!"
The atmosphere had become so heated that Li Sheng did not think he would fail, so a smile of victory appeared on his face. He was just waiting for Ju Shichu to shyly accept the roses he gave her and then answer with one sentence - "I promise you."
However, Ju Shichu just felt annoyed. What was this? Confessing in public was moral kidnapping? He wanted the person being confessed to agree under the pressure of the audience. This was basically forcing others to obey his will.
