Chapter 31

arrassing"The implication is that since he has lowered himself to send flowers, she should accept them unconditionally.Shen Yian looked at Gu Cheng, feeling particularly strange.Even after her mother...Shen Yian followed his colleagues downstairs. Before he could see the so-called mother-in-law, he heard a familiar yet strange voice coming from the crowd.

"What are you talking about You're just saying I didn't lend her money, and now she's threatening my son with marriage"

My son is now infatuated with her, he can't eat or sleep, and he has no interest in work. He has tried to get back together with her several times, but she blocked him every time.

“So, I, as her old wife, have no shame and had to come beg her. Oh, all I ask is that she forgive us, an ordinary family who can't afford her high expenses. I hope she will live happily with my son in the future. We all love her for being such a smart and capable daughter-in-law.”

Shen Yian heard the voices and parted the crowd, seeing Gu Cheng's mother with red-rimmed eyes.

Mrs. Gu wore a black cotton dress and carried a small bag under her arm. Her face was troubled, she looked like a proper and well-behaved honest person.

In a bustling metropolis like Haicheng, ladies who dress appropriately are always more appealing to younger generations compared to those wearing sleeveless shirts.

As soon as Gu's mother saw Shen Yian come, she didn't wait for her to react before grabbing her wrist.

"Yi'an, you finally agreed to meet me. I apologize on Gu Cheng's behalf. He speaks directly and might have offended you. Please forgive him for my sake"

Mrs. Gu's words were earnest, and she looked like an ordinary mother who was just worried about her child.

But Shen Yian knew that Mrs. Gu was not like that.

After Gu Cheng's proposal, he said he wanted to introduce his mother to Shen Yian. She felt that Gu Cheng valued her very much, so she prepared fruits and a cashmere scarf as gifts for Mrs. Gu in advance.

Who knew, when Mother Gu saw her gift, she simply threw the scarf onto the sofa with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, and her tone became strange and sarcastic.

A boy from our town married a girl from the big city. The girl gave her mother-in-law a gold bangle right away, and a few days later she sent another gold chain. She's really enviable!

After finishing her words, Mother Gu deliberately rubbed her empty wrists.

Even Shen Yian, who was usually slow-witted, understood that Gu's mother thought her gift was too light.

Unfortunately, she was still naive at the time and thought that Mrs. Gu might not understand high-end goods, so she wanted to explain.

"Auntie, this scarf is..."

"Sending warmth, I understand, but that's not really my style. I prefer scarves, especially ones with flowers. They're so pretty," Mrs. Gu said, gesturing towards the floral scarf draped over the back of a chair.

"Auntie..."

Shen Yian just wanted to say that she bought a high-end cashmere scarf, warm and light, much more expensive than her polyester shawl, but was interrupted by Gu Cheng.

"Mom, if you don't like me, just let Yi An quit. Tomorrow, I'll have her buy you a gold bracelet. We'll definitely go to the store and pick out one that you're satisfied with."

After finishing, Gu Cheng kept winking at Shen Yian.

Shen Yian felt upset, but he didn't want to spoil the relationship on their first meeting, so he just smiled and didn't agree explicitly.

But Gu's mother was overjoyed and hurriedly told Shen Yian to sit down and eat.

Shen Yian thought everyone would just have a meal together amicably, leaving a good impression on each other.

Unexpectedly, all the dishes cooked by Mrs. Gu were spicy. He knew she couldn't eat spicy food. She looked at Gu Cheng helplessly, but found that he was eating more happily than anyone else.

"Mom, the food you made is delicious."

"Eat more if you like it. Yi An, come on, you eat too." Mother Gu took a spoonful of spicy soup and brought it to Shen Yi An's lips.

Shen Yian frowned and refused, "Sorry, Auntie, I can't eat spicy food."

Gu's mother let out a snort: "Gu Cheng loves spicy food the most. If you don't like to eat it, how will you cook for him in the future You just haven't gotten used to eating it, you'll get used to it. Come, I'll feed you."

Shen Yian was stunned. She hadn't expected Gu's mother to suddenly and unexpectedly shove a mouthful of spicy soup into her mouth, and then she smiled and tugged on Gu Cheng's arm.

"See, I told you she could handle the spice. City girls are just so dramatic. They act like they can't handle anything spicy, but once they get used to it, it's no big deal."uch about this kind of thing.Song Lin didn't reply directly.Shen Yi'an curled his lips, this man was so cold. He just said he wouldn't talk and wouldn't talk.......Latitude One Technology.Song Lin sul...
