Chapter 771 God assists my sister-in-law (4)
Mother Zhu was so angry that her lips trembled when she heard Zhu Yaochu's crazy words. How could she not know that her son was still a naive person? He was fooled by others' little tricks.
If Meng Ling really didn't want his money, then how did he spend Zhu Shichu's money?
"If she is not greedy for money, then why do you still need to borrow money from your sister?" Zhu's mother asked angrily.
Zhu Yaochu argued: "I felt sorry for her because I saw her wearing those cheap clothes and shoes and using cheap cosmetics and skin care products, so I bought her better things. She didn't want to accept my gift at first, but I insisted again and again, and she really couldn't refuse, so she accepted it. But she also said that she would definitely return the money to me in the future. You see how self-respecting and self-reliant she is..."
When Zhu Shichu heard what he said, she burst out laughing. She would return the money later. When was this later? If she could successfully marry Zhu Yaochu in the future, then it would be natural for her to buy things with her husband. Why would she have to pay back the money? If she couldn't marry Zhu Yaochu, she would have to return the gift money to Zhu Yaochu, but Zhu Yaochu would definitely not accept it. After all, he couldn't afford to lose face. So no matter what, this "I will return it later" was very interesting. Only Zhu Yaochu, a man with no IQ in love, would think that she was self-respecting and self-reliant.
Mother Zhu was so angry that her chest almost exploded when she heard her son's words. She gritted her teeth and said, "I have never seen you so stupid! Don't you know what it means to retreat in order to advance or to refuse but also to accept? You deserve to be played around by others!"
Zhu Yaochu was indignant: "Mom, you think too badly of Lingling. Do you know what kind of person you are now? Like a vicious mother-in-law who forcibly breaks up a couple in love! I used to think that mom was very reasonable and would definitely understand what true love is, but I didn't expect you to become so arrogant and unreasonable now. Just based on Lingling's background, you deny everything about her. Mom, I'm very disappointed in you..."
Mother Zhu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Zhu Yaochu and couldn't speak. Zhu Shichu quickly helped her to calm down and persuaded her, "Mom, don't be so angry. Brother is a fool. It's not worth it for you to be angry with him. He only has Meng Ling in his heart now and won't listen to anything. It's not worth it if you get hurt because of him."
"Zhu Shichu! When did I become stupid? Is this how you think about your brother?" Zhu Yaochu was already angry with her because of Zhu Shichu's snitching. Now that he heard her say this about him, he became even more angry. "I haven't settled the score with you for snitching yet! Tell me, how did your little sister Xiao Ling and I do wrong to you that you want to hurt us like this?"
"Shut up! Char Siu!" Zhu Shichu looked at him coldly, "I just confessed your affairs, so I am hurting you? Then I was harassed by gangsters and fainted yesterday because I was covering for you, and you didn't even stay to look after me. How can you explain this? Do you care about me as your sister?"
"What? Chuchu, you fainted yesterday?" When Zhu's mother heard what Zhu Shichu said, she was no longer angry and hurriedly checked Zhu Shichu's body. "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"Mom, I'm fine now. I was just too scared." Zhu Shichu quickly comforted her.
After a while, Zhu's mother calmed down when she found that her daughter was indeed fine. However, the look in her eyes when she looked at Zhu Yaochu could not be colder. If she was still angry at him just now, now she was already heartbroken towards Zhu Yaochu.
"You asked your sister to cover for you? She was scared unconscious by the gangsters and you didn't care at all?" Zhu's mother looked at her son with eyes that were almost as cold as ice.
Zhu Yaochu then remembered what happened yesterday. He felt uneasy and said in a low voice, "I didn't ignore her. Didn't I send her home to be taken care of by Anderson?"
Seeing Zhu Yaochu, who still looked nonchalant and didn't think the matter was serious at all, Zhu's mother began to re-evaluate her son in her heart. If he was confused about love, Zhu's mother could understand that he was young and naive and couldn't see through people's hearts, but this was just a matter of scheming and strategy, which could be avoided as long as he grew up a few years and had more worldly experience. It had nothing to do with his character. However, if he knew that his sister fainted because of him, but just sent her home to be taken care of by the robot butler, and he didn't take it seriously and left without a care, then this was a big matter concerning his character.
Zhu Shichu is his biological sister, but he doesn't care about his sister's health and safety at all. How can this not make Zhu's mother feel heartbroken?
"So you think that since Anderson is taking care of your unconscious sister, you can just ignore her, right?" Zhu's mother asked Zhu Yaochu very calmly.
Zhu Yaochu opened his mouth, but he had no way to answer this question. He really felt that his sister just fainted for a moment, and it was not a big deal. It was enough to have Anderson take care of her, and there was no need to make a fuss. But he knew that his mother would definitely not want to hear his true thoughts, so he could only remain silent.
Zhu's mother had seen through his true thoughts, and she felt a chill all over her body. She closed her eyes, then opened them, looked at Zhu Yaochu steadily, and said, "You think Meng Ling is with you because she likes you as a person, not because of your family background or money, right?"
Zhu Yaochu nodded immediately and vigorously: "Yes! She said that she is not obsessed with material things, as long as the needs of survival are met, she is more pursuing the harmony of the soul. She really loves me and feels that as long as she is with me, nothing else matters, so, don't insult her with money..."
When Zhu's mother heard his last words, she couldn't help laughing and asked him meaningfully, "Since she loves you so much, she must be willing to share the joys and sorrows with you and will never leave you no matter how difficult and poor it is?"
"Of course!" Zhu Yaochu was very confident. "Lingling also told me that she would rather I was just an ordinary person, or even come from the same slum as her, so that there wouldn't be such a huge difference in status between us... and you wouldn't stop me..."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhu's mother cautiously. Zhu's mother smiled again, looked at him, and said, "In this case, I will test your relationship and see if you can really stick to it no matter what."
"How to test?" Zhu Yaochu immediately became alert.
"Don't worry, it's not a problem. Didn't you say that she is not vain and doesn't love money? And she also hopes that you are of the same status and position, so I decided not to give you pocket money in the future. You are about to graduate from college now. There are many college students from ordinary families who earn their tuition and living expenses by working part-time. I think you should be able to do it too..." Mother Zhu smiled meaningfully and said, "Meng Ling seems to be working part-time, right? It's a good opportunity for you to be together, so that you can share the joys and sorrows. I heard that the relationship between those who have experienced ups and downs and suffered together is the most sincere."
