Mother Chen turned her face away, her chest still heaving violently, obviously turning a deaf ear to what Father Chen said.
She looked at Chen Zhengnian, her eyes full of disappointment.
"Me? I won't admit it even if I keep asking until my hair turns grey. If you dare to get the marriage certificate secretly, I will lock the household registration book in the safe and see how you can marry me!"
Chen Zhengnian took a deep breath and suppressed the bitterness in his heart.
He knew his mother's temper. When she got stubborn, even ten cows couldn't pull her back. But this time he had no intention of giving in.
"Mom, if you really don't want to give us your household registration booklet, we can go to the police station to get a household registration certificate. Legally, no one can stop us from getting married."
"I like Xinxin. Xinxin and I are of the same mind. I believe that life should be lived on our own terms, and it has nothing to do with family background."
"Xinxin is the person I live with and the person I like. If I were to choose someone I don't like, I would never be happy in my life."
Chen Zhengnian's voice was soft, but it carried an unshakable determination.
He looked at his mother with burning eyes, and every word he spoke was sincere.
"But I don't want this to happen. I hope you can sincerely bless us."
"Blessings? I wish you guys to break up soon!"
Mother Chen slammed the armrest of the sofa and continued saying the same words.
"That girl Wang Xinxin is obviously a scheming woman. Otherwise, how could she have bewitched you so much? Although our Chen family isn't wealthy, we've never dealt with families like that. Are you trying to disgrace us?"
"Manman is so good to you, I don't understand how the two of you got to this point?"
"mom!"
Chen Zhengnian's voice suddenly rose, his eyes full of disappointment.
"How can you say that about Xinxin? Don't you see what kind of person she is? She's down-to-earth and kind. What gives you the right to slander her like this?"
"The one who is truly scheming and calculating is Chen Man."
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and simply poured out all the words that had been pent up in his heart.
"You always say you're doing this for my own good, but have you ever asked me what I want? I don't want a marriage of equal status, nor do I want the kind of future you see. What I want is to live with Xinxin, even if it's just plain food, I'm happy with it."
"What does it mean to be well-matched? Shouldn't the most important thing be that I like you?"
He just didn't understand. Did his family have a throne to inherit?
Why does he have to be with someone he doesn't like?
How could Chen Zhengnian possibly like someone like Chen Man?
Chen Man is arrogant and willful, and never considers the consequences of her actions.
If I stay with her, I will be dragged to death sooner or later.
He wouldn't like Chen Man's personality either.
He definitely won't be with Chen Man.
But Wang Xinxin is different. She is frank, sincere and kind-hearted.
For her dream, she can come to the Northwest.
She is a very good person herself.
What reason does he have to dislike her?
Father Chen sighed softly and patted his son's shoulder: "Zhengnian, don't get excited. Your mother just can't come to terms with it for the time being. In her heart..."
"What's wrong with me? I just don't feel comfortable!"
Chen's mother interrupted him with her neck stiffened, but tears welled up in her eyes.
"I worked so hard to raise him, sent him to college, and sent him to the army, hoping he'd find a well-educated, well-mannered girl from a similar family and live a stable life. Was I wrong? But he chose to find... to find..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone could hear the disgust in her voice.
Chen Zhengnian felt uncomfortable when he saw his usually tough mother in tears.
He slowed his tone, squatted in front of his mother, and looked up at her.
"Mom, I know it's not easy for you, but I live my own life. Only I know whether the shoes fit me or not. Xinxin is the one who makes me feel comfortable. Only when I'm with her do I feel like I'm truly alive."
He held his mother's hand and spoke earnestly.
"Please have pity on me and give me a chance, okay? I promise you that I won't ignore you and Dad just because I marry Xinxin. We will be filial to you and work hard to live a good life so that you can see our happiness."
"Chen Man and I are really not the same kind of people. We are really not suitable for each other."
Mother Chen's hand moved slightly, but she still pulled it back forcefully and turned her face away from him.
The living room fell silent again, with only the ticking of the wall clock.
At the same time, Wang Xinxin returned home and locked herself in the room.
The moonlight from outside the window shone through the gap in the curtains, casting a long shadow on the floor.
She sat on the edge of the bed, holding in her hand the first gift Chen Zhengnian gave her.
A small, somewhat chipped music box with the names of two people carved inside by him.
She thought of how Chen Zhengnian stood in front of her just now, and her heart felt warm and bitter.
For her, he had such a bad relationship with his mother for the first time. She was both touched and uneasy.
What if... What if Chen's mother still refuses to give in, how embarrassed would Chen Zhengnian be, caught in the middle?
In the living room of the Chen family, Chen's father took Chen Zhengnian to the balcony and handed him a cigarette.
"Your mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She actually loves you more than anyone else. It's just that the old generation's ideas can't be changed in a short time."
Chen Zhengnian lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. "Dad, I know, but this time, I won't give in. Xinxin and I are serious. I want to give her a home."
"I see."
Father Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Take your time. Give your mother some time. She's furious right now and won't listen to anything you say. Wait a couple of days until she calms down, and then I'll help you persuade her."
Chen Zhengnian nodded, but he knew in his heart that this road might not be so easy.
But as he looked into the distance, his eyes became more determined.
As long as he can be with Wang Xinxin, he is willing to take on any difficulties.
The next morning, Chen's mother prepared to go out to find Wang Xinxin to explain things.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I went out, I felt uncomfortable in my heart.
She held onto the door and slowly sat down.
“Is there… is there anyone who can save… save me…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen's mother collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.
After hearing the bang, Chen's father hurried out, saw Chen's mother who was unconscious, and quickly called for help.
By the time Chen Zhengnian received the letter, his mother had already been sent to the hospital.
Coincidentally, this hospital is Su Tang’s hospital.
"Call Dr. Su and ask if she can come to the hospital."
The attending physician came out of the operating room hurriedly and said something.
Hearing this, the young nurse outside reacted immediately.
Dr. Su Tang is the most skilled surgeon in their hospital.
In this case, the situation is very likely complicated and no one can save the patient except Dr. Su.
"I know where Dr. Su's house is. I'll go there."
At this moment, Chen Zhengnian said something.
