Chapter 126 - 126: Mrs. Wen’s Objection
Shu Pan had actually come to terms with things. If it was not meant to be, one couldn’t force it.
“Xiaomeng, didn’t I mention to you that there’s someone? He’s a doctor, and I’ve agreed to give dating him a try, ” Shu Pan looked at her friend, who was so concerned about her, and couldn’t bear to keep it from her.
She decided to see how things would unfold in the future.
“Really? Girl, if you feel good about it, that’s what matters. Next time, let me meet him and I’ll assess him,” Ye Xiaomeng worried that Shu Pan might get hurt again.
“I’m afraid you might scare him away,” Shu Pan joked.
“I’ll talk to him nicely, I won’t scare him off,” Ye Xiaomeng playfully winked at Shu Pan.
“Don’t talk about me, you should also put in some effort. If you find someone good, make sure to seize the opportunity,” Shu Pan said. As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Xiaomeng couldn’t resist rolling her eyes at her.
“All right, Shu, I got it,” Ye Xiaomeng teased.
Lately, Wen Chi had been spending very little time at home, only returning to sleep for a few hours before leaving again. Finally, his behavior caught the attention of his mother.
“Son, what’s been going on with you lately? Why haven’t you been eating at home except for coming back from work to sleep for a few hours?” Wen Chi’s mother frowned, unable to hold back her questions.
“It’s nothing special, just busy chasing after a girl,” Wen Chi didn’t want to reveal too much, and he planned to leave soon.
“Don’t leave, I haven’t finished talking,” Wen Chi’s mother knew his intentions and firmly called him back.
“What does the girl do for a living? What kind of family does she come from? What’s her background?” These were the aspects parents were most concerned about, and Wen Chi’s mother was no exception.
“Mom, I’m interested in the person, not her family background. What does her family have to do with anything?” Wen Chi felt overwhelmed by his mother’s questioning.
He simply liked Shu Pan for who she was.
“Son, in today’s marriages, it’s important to marry a wife with an appropriate family background. Don’t think love is all that matters. You’ll understand after you get married. I’ve been through it all. I’m telling you now to help you avoid taking the wrong path,” Wen Chi’s mother spoke with genuine concern, hoping Wen Chi would listen.
“Mom, trust me, Shu Pan is not like that. She’s kind-hearted and virtuous. Once you spend time with her, you’ll like her too,” Wen Chi tried to reassure his mother, feeling she was overthinking things.
“Bring her home for me to meet when you have a chance,” Wen Chi’s mother decided that no matter what her son said, she needed to see for herself what the girl was like.
“Mom, it’s too early for that. We’ve only just started, and it took me a long time to win her over,” Wen Chi quickly stopped her, afraid his mother would mess things up.
“Chi…” Wen Chi’s mother wanted to continue, but Wen Chi had already left.
Frustrated, she called Wen Chi’s father.
“What kind of father are you? Your son has a girlfriend, do you know?” Wen Chi’s mother was furious.
“When did this happen? I haven’t heard anything about it at the hospital. I guess it’s not a girl from there,” Wen Chi’s father spoke calmly, quite different from his wife.
“I don’t care. I won’t accept a daughter-in -law who doesn’t meet my standards,” Wen Chi’s mother said firmly.
“Our son is grown up and has his own ideas. Why interfere and make yourself unpleasant?” Wen Chi’s father tried to persuade her.
“No, this matter can’t be ignored,” Wen Chi’s mother said and hung up, leaving Wen Chi’s father on the other end of the line uncertain of how to respond..
