Chapter 469: Ex-girlfriend (16)
While Zhongli Ximo was living a shameless life with Zuo Shichu, his mother, Madam Zhongli, finally learned from Zhen Meizhu that her son had fallen in love with a woman who was only beautiful.
This was a big deal. Madam Zhongli had always hoped that her son could marry a daughter of a wealthy family with a strong family background, such as Zhen Meizhu, who she had watched grow up and was a suitable match for her. Even if it wasn't Zhen Meizhu, it had to be the daughter of another wealthy family. In short, she couldn't be the daughter of an unknown person.
Zhongli Ximo then received a phone call from his mother questioning him: "You found a low-class woman with no family background or connections? Ximo, have you forgotten that you are from the Zhongli family? You can't just find a woman from outside who is not good at anything!"
Zhongli Ximo felt a headache when he heard his mother's aggressive words. He frowned and said, "Mom, don't say such harsh words. Shichu is also a girl from a good family with a clean conscience. Don't slander her."
"I think you have been blinded by that vixen, and now you are bewitched enough to talk back to me. You have become too independent, haven't you? Don't forget that you have several cousins and even illegitimate half-children. If you don't marry a wife who can help you, you will definitely not be able to compete with them! I am doing this for your own good, why can't you be more sensible?" Madam Zhongli became more and more excited as she spoke.
She herself was living a very depressed and painful life because of her husband's philandering and promiscuity. Even her mental state was a little abnormal. Her only wish was not to lose to the woman outside her husband's house.
Zhongli Ximo is the only thing she can hold on to, the hope that hangs on the heads of everyone in the Zhongli family. She will not allow this hope to go wrong. Therefore, when she heard that her son actually found a woman who can't help in anything, she was so angry.
"Mom, what kind of woman I like is my own business. Don't tie your wishes to me. I won't force myself to do what you want! Returning to China to take over Yonghui is the last time I compromise with you. Are you going to force me to commit suicide this time?"
Zhongli Ximo's face was cold and his chest was heaving violently, as if carrying endless depression and darkness.
When Mrs. Zhongli heard what he said, she became even more hysterical: "I am doing this for your own good! For you! If you were not my son, I would not care whether you lived or died... You must break up with that woman and go home to have a blind date with the girl I introduced to you! Did you hear me? I will not allow you to be with that pretty face. She will only hurt you..."
Mrs. Zhongli's sharp and piercing voice came through the phone. Zhongli Ximo's face looked extremely ugly. His mother couldn't hold on to her husband, couldn't keep his heart, so she wanted to hold her son firmly in her hands and not allow her only son to disobey her wishes.
It was because of this that Zhongli Ximo went to study abroad in college and had no intention of coming back after graduation. Unfortunately, Mrs. Zhongli still threatened to commit suicide and forced him to come back. This time, she went even further and interfered with Zhongli Ximo's feelings and marriage.
Zhongli Ximo felt sorry for his mother's misfortune and was angry at her for not fighting back. When he understood the true marital status of his parents in high school, he suggested that his mother divorce his father. However, his mother was too paranoid. Even though she knew that this marriage was a cesspool, she was unwilling to climb out and insisted on staying in it, causing pain herself and also making Zhongli Ximo suffer.
Zhongli Ximo is not a mama's boy. He compromised once for his mother's life, but he would not compromise every time. Therefore, this time he refused very firmly: "Mom, you can't use suicide to force me to compromise again and again. I won't listen to you this time. I hope you don't do anything irrational, otherwise I will send you to see a psychiatrist."
"Zhongli Ximo!" Mrs. Zhongli called out her son's name sharply. In fact, her mental problems were very serious, but she simply refused to seek treatment. Zhongli Ximo brought a psychologist to see her, but she drove the person out without saying a word. After this happened once and twice, Zhongli Ximo couldn't do anything about her.
Zhongli Ximo hung up the phone with his mother and rubbed his forehead. He had no way to untie his mother's knot, but he had no way to go against her wishes and obey her in everything. Therefore, he often felt torn. He could feel that his mother would not give up this time and she would most likely find Zuo Shichu.
Thinking of this, his head hurt even more. The last time Zhen Meizhu came to his house, he had finally begged for Zuo Shichu's forgiveness. This time his mother came to her again, still with a very bad attitude, with the intention of breaking them up - Zuo Shichu probably didn't even want to see him, and would just end it with him directly, right?
After all, she had just warned him not to cause her trouble, but he broke his promise.
The troubled Zhongli Ximo decided to give Zuo Shichu a shot of prevention himself.
"What? You said your mother might find me soon?" Zuo Shichu was shocked when he heard his words, "What do you mean? It's endless, isn't it? Last time it was your childhood sweetheart who came to pick a fight, this time it's your biological mother's turn!"
Zuo Shichu looked very impatient and said to Zhongli Ximo rudely: "Why don't we just end this relationship? It's too troublesome!"
Zhongli Ximo said quickly, "Don't! I won't listen to my mother. If she really comes to you, call me immediately and I'll tell her."
Zuo Shichu really didn't want to continue being with Zhongli Ximo. Although this man was great, he had too many troubles. As expected, there was no sweetness at both ends of the sugar cane. Although the best man was outstanding, it was not so easy to win him over.
Zhongli Ximo learned 180 ways to coax girls without any instruction, and finally persuaded Zuo Shichu not to end her relationship with him for the time being. At this time, he had long forgotten that he only wanted to have fun with Zuo Shichu and had no plans for any follow-up.
Before Madam Zhongli showed up, Zuo Shichu encountered some plots that were obviously aimed at her.
"Beautiful lady, my car has a flat tire. I wonder if I can take your car back to the city center?" Zuo Shichu had just returned from picking strawberries in the suburbs. Halfway through his drive, he met a car owner whose car had a flat tire and was parked on the side of the road.
Zuo Shichu stopped the car and the owner hurried forward to ask for help.
Zuo Shichu took a look at the flat tire and asked him, "Why don't you wait for the tow truck to come? Or ask your friend to bring a new tire to replace the flat tire?"
The car owner choked. He didn't expect Zuo Shichu to be so cautious and come up with these two solutions.
He was quick-witted and came up with an excuse after a while: "Hey, it's the weekend now, and my friends are either working overtime or spending time with their families. How can I bother them?"
