Shen Shumin was not going to criticize Cheng Mingyue anymore for Lu Chen's sake, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
It was clearly his son whom he gave birth to after ten months of hard work, so why did he become disloyal as soon as he got married?
How is this possible?!
Shen Shumin has been a flower in the military compound since she was a child. After she married Lu Qizhou, the two started a business together and even expanded the business overseas. She has never worried about money and has always been smooth sailing.
Even during this great turmoil, she happened to be abroad and escaped the disaster. Although she later donated most of her wealth, her foundation was very solid and she lived many times better than the average person.
Therefore, she looked down on Cheng Mingyue, a country girl.
The daughter-in-law she had in mind should be like Ye Xue from her best friend's family, who had been well-educated and well-mannered since childhood, and came from a top medical family. Even during this great turmoil, her best friend's family had not been harmed in any way.
They are a perfect match, childhood sweethearts, and even had an arranged marriage before. What a perfect couple!
Now her son has fallen in love with a country girl for some reason, and he loves her so dearly. He even wants her to bow down to him for his sake. How can she not feel aggrieved?
No matter what Shen Shumin thought in her heart, on the way to Cheng Mingyue’s house, Lu Chen emphasized again:
"Mom and Dad, this is your first time visiting Mingyue's house. Please speak well of your son, but be sure not to say anything unpleasant that might upset her family."
Hearing Lu Chen say this, Shen Shumin became even more angry, and suddenly started to speak without thinking:
"Ah Chen, just based on our family background and your outstanding talent, they should be secretly happy to be able to get you. Besides, your father and I have already come all the way to her house, what else does she want?"
Lu Chen stopped and looked at Shen Shumin with sharp eyes. He paused and said, “Mom, if you don’t want to go, Dad and I can go. I’ll find a place for you in town. You can stay there first. We’ll pick you up when we’re done.”
Lu Chen's words were like a slap in Shen Shumin's face, and her eyes immediately turned red.
"Ah Chen, we donated most of our wealth just for you to come back from abroad, and this is how you talk to me?"
Lu Qizhou wiped his wife's tears distressedly, and his voice became deeper: "Ah Chen, how could you talk to your mother like that? You don't know how worried your mother is about you.
Do you really want to hurt your mother's heart for a woman you've only been with for a few months?"
Lu Chen suddenly felt as if his heart was weighed down by a thousand pounds. In his impression, his parents were loving, sensible, and especially gentle to him. Why did he only find out after returning from a mission that they had all changed so much, so far from what he remembered?
In such a family atmosphere, is he still sure that Mingyue will follow him?
What's more, even if Mingyue was willing to go with him, he was unwilling to let her down.
Lu Chen took a deep breath and said, "Dad, Mom, I'll find a place for you to stay first. I'll go say hello to Mingyue by myself. We'll go back to Jing City tomorrow."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he pulled Shen Shumin and Lu Qizhou back without saying anything.
Shen Shumin was still happy that she didn't have to go to Cheng Mingyue's house, but Lu Qizhou's heart sank.
His son's eyes were too cold, which gave him a bad feeling. He stopped and tried to say something, but when he met his son's unquestionable eyes, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat and he could no longer utter any syllables.
Soon, Lu Chen settled his parents in a house in the town, and rode his bicycle to Baihe Brigade.
When Lu Chen arrived, the gate of Cheng Mingyue's house was not closed. He gently pushed the door open and walked in. With a faint smile on his face, he greeted the two little guys who were playing in the yard:
"Xiaolong, Xiaohu, look what delicious food your uncle-in-law brought you."
After what happened yesterday, the two little guys had a vague feeling in their hearts that something might have happened between their aunt and uncle. They did not immediately surround them like before, but instead shouted directly into the house:
"Grandpa, grandma, please come out quickly, my uncle is here again."
Hearing the cries of the two little ones, the whole family came out of the house.
The whole family looked at Cheng Mingyue, waiting for her to speak and see how to face Lu Chen.
Cheng Mingyue looked behind Lu Chen and saw no one there. She frowned and said, "Dad, Mom, you two should go and do your things first. Lu Chen and I have something to talk about."
"Okay, okay, Yue'er, have a good chat with Lu Chen and don't be so petty."
Wang Guihua smiled at Lu Chen and repeatedly reminded Cheng Mingyue.
The village chief and Cheng Xiangdong didn't say anything, but their eyes revealed the same message.
Of course, they also hope that Yue'er and Lu Chen can be happy. After all, divorce doesn't have a good reputation these days.
Cheng Mingyue brought Lu Chen to her room, closed the door, and asked directly:
"Didn't you say yesterday that your parents were coming to my house today? Where are they?"
Lu Chen put the things on the cabinet and looked at Cheng Mingyue seriously:
"Mingyue, I don't want them to come. Marriage is a matter between two families, but it can also be a matter between two people.
From now on, I'll be with you, and you don't have to go back to my family. We can just take care of our own little family. You're the only person I care about most in this world."
Lu Chen spoke seriously and firmly, but Cheng Mingyue was confused.
"what is going on?"
"My mother has a deep prejudice against country people, and my father only considers my mother in everything. I don't want you to be criticized by her and feel wronged."
Lu Chen did not hide anything and told the whole story, waiting for Cheng Mingyue's judgment with anxious eyes.
"You mean they're in town now?"
Cheng Mingyue couldn't believe her ears. Since Lu Chen's parents had already come to the town, he actually settled them in the town just because his mother said a few unpleasant words.
Cheng Mingyue couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.
"Are you sure you won't care about what others think of you when you live with me? If that's the case, it might even affect you in the army. Do you think that's okay?"
Cheng Mingyue stared at Lu Chen intently, not missing any expression on his face.
Lu Chen slowly shook his head. "Everything, everyone, in my heart, is not as important as you. We just don't live with them. I will definitely fulfill my filial duties, and I will definitely not be any less than others."
Lu Chen thought a lot along the way. Maybe it would be best for them to live separately from their parents.
