Chapter 133: Bringing a Daughter Back for You…
“Why are you back?!”
Yet again, this phrase…
Chen Yuan stood at the door, pursing his lips as he saw his mother watering the flowers in the yard.
This time, he didn’t ring the doorbell and was spotted by her immediately as he reached the entrance.
Chen Mother also instantly noticed the fresh-faced girl beside Chen Yuan.
She thought for a long time, feeling a bit slow…
This doesn’t seem like the girl from last time… right?
The girl from last time had white hair…
With her mind muddled, Chen Mother still maintained a cheerful expression as she opened the door for Chen Yuan and then asked:
“Is this a classmate?”
“No, Mom, this is your daughter,” Chen Yuan joked.
A sister, isn’t that just like a daughter?
“Hello, Auntie…” Lin Shuxue blushed, feeling unusually nervous, and her voice became less confident.
Because she cared, she felt nervous.
For so many years, she had forgotten what it felt like to be nervous.
“Tsk, what nonsense are you talking about?!”
Chen Mother was initially quite happy, but as soon as she encountered a serious issue, her demeanor turned stern, and she swatted Chen Yuan’s arm a couple of times.
What do you mean coming back with a daughter?!
Are you two married already?!
You little rascal, how can you talk like that?!
“Come on in, don’t mind him rambling, you’re his classmate, right?”
Chen Mother pulled Lin Shuxue inside, looking at how Lin Shuxue addressed her, she roughly concluded that they must be classmates.
“Uh-huh…” Lin Shuxue nodded, replying according to the script they had prepared on the way.
Chen Yuan, however, was left behind, feeling a bit helpless.
“Close the door,” Chen Mother turned back to glare at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan: “Oh…”
Why is she angry?
Did Dad upset Mom today?
…..
Once inside, Chen Mother cut some fruits and brought them in front of Lin Shuxue, asking her about her well-being.
It was clear that Chen Mother quite liked Xiaoxue too.
However, when Chen Yuan reached out to grab a piece of apple, his hand was swatted away.
“You can eat a hammer! Come with me!”
Chen Yuan innocently protested, “???”
“Xiaoxue, sit for a while, uncle will be back soon.”
“Uh-huh… okay.”
Chen Yuan followed Chen Mother to the side hall.
“What’s wrong, Mom? Why are you so angry? Did Dad upset you?”
Chen Yuan still didn’t know why his mom was acting this way; he hadn’t been home for a month, and yet he wasn’t welcome?
“What’s going on with you? Where is Cu? Don’t mess around with me outside! I’m warning you!”
Chen Mother held traditional values and absolutely did not tolerate Chen Yuan gallivanting around!
It was fine if he spent money a bit recklessly or had a crush on a girl whom others thought he was just simping for; she could accept that!
“Huh? Mom, what are you thinking…?” Chen Yuan didn’t expect his mom to remember Cu so clearly…
He had only stayed over one night, and now she was acting like a little fan girl…
“I’m telling you, that girl Cu is really good! She genuinely likes you, cherish her a bit!”
Chen Mother reminded him; she and his father didn’t know how many discussions they had around Cu for countless nights!
She liked her! That girl was excellent!
For this, the couple even secretly opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate how that girl had rescued their son from the quagmire of Yu Enqi!
They had prepared red envelopes to hand directly over at their next meeting!
“Don’t let your ex-girlfriend influence you and treat relationships casually!”
“Yu Enqi?” Chen Yuan twitched his lips and let out a helpless chuckle.
“Yes! That Yu Enqi of yours! What’s going on with you?!”
Chen Mother said furiously, occasionally peeking at Lin Shuxue sitting in the living room.
Shaking her head, she murmured, “This girl is also obedient… so fresh and lovely…”
“Mom… you’re overthinking it, she’s just a classmate… how could I—”
How could I deceive an innocent girl…
Chen Yuan didn’t manage to say this last part out loud; thinking about how there were still three at home…
His reputation as a scumbag was probably something he could never shake off…
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, wasn’t he just someone who deceives innocent girls…?
There was no way to deny it…
With his mom reacting so strongly, what would happen if he brought them all home?
And there was also Yu, the heavyweight bomb…
Would his mom deliver some serious family justice?
“Another classmate? Really? You’ve never brought back this many female classmates before…”
Chen Mother clearly didn’t quite believe Chen Yuan’s words.
“Wasn’t there Yu Enqi before? I’m not bad looking, okay…?” Chen Yuan pouted.
“So you admit it? I’m telling you, don’t mess around! I’ve already settled on that girl you’re bringing back today!”
Chen Mother said firmly.
“Her name is Cu, let me tell you, that girl is good to you, will be good to you for a lifetime! Your mother knows, just trust her this once!”
Chen Yuan sighed, feeling a bit helpless; Cu was his student, what nonsense was his mom spouting…
“If you don’t bring Cu back during the New Year, I won’t let you back in the house!”
“??? So ruthless, Mom?!”
“I’ll cut off your allowance too!” Chen Mother warned, her expression looked serious…
“???”
This time, I came back needing money…
Chen Mother glanced at the living room again and asked, “So what’s going on with that little girl now, and what did you mean by the phrase you used when you entered?”
Chen Mother was always attentive, recalling the flirtatious joke Chen Yuan had made upon entering.
“To be precise, she’s a sister; I recognized her,” Chen Yuan finally said, stating their arranged relationship.
After all, he intended to bring Xiaoxue home in the future, so he should clarify this relationship with his parents.
But he needed to put it differently.
“What do you mean you’re recognizing sisters everywhere?!” When Chen Mother heard this, she felt that Chen Yuan was making nonsense again and reached out to slap his cheek.
“Mom, let me finish, don’t hit me first!” Chen Yuan reacted quickly.
“Here’s your chance to organize your words, go ahead.”
“She doesn’t have parents, I’m supporting her through college, and she just got here, we only recognized each other this past month; she calls me brother now.”
Chen Yuan expressed the situation in a way that was relatable to his mom, similar to his own experiences…
“Is that true? You’re supporting someone else? Where did you get money for that?” Chen Mother asked skeptically.
She didn’t doubt Chen Yuan’s ability to support others; they gave him quite a generous allowance…
However, as a parent, she could never accept that a child didn’t have parents.
So, upon hearing Chen Yuan say Lin Shuxue had no parents, her anger dropped to negative levels.
She looked affectionately at the little girl in the living room, and her maternal instincts swelled up…
