Father Qi received a call from his son and was both angry and annoyed. He really hadn’t expected that despite all the talk, this woman was still so thoughtless, making such demands of their son. Furious, he scolded Mother Qi, saying that if she remained so muddleheaded, she should just join her elder sister in the grave.
That was not all; Father Qi also said a few words to Deng Weiqiu, asking her to take care of her mother. Otherwise, such a grown-up girl, if she can’t even take care of her own mother, how can she talk about marrying and taking care of her husband and in-laws in the future?
Deng Weiqiu, with her thin skin, went to the hospital with red eyes. Her aunt saw her and asked a couple of questions. Upon hearing her words, her aunt’s face turned dark as she thought of her own and her daughter’s predicant—having no one to rely on and no resources, her future looked bleak. She felt heartache and lanted about her misfortune to anyone who would listen.
When Mother Qi arrived, the aunt spoke even more, saying relatives were heartless, without any sympathy, and so on.
Mother Qi was also holding her breath, and hearing her aunt’s words added to her distress. After all, she had even turned against her son for her, yet she said things like that, which was truly chilling.
Mother Qi helped for another two days and then left it to Deng Weiqiu. Naturally, she was displeased that Cheng Su hadn’t returned yet.
Cheng Su couldn’t be bothered with that ss of troubleso affairs. She ate and drank as she pleased, attended classes, and visited her business to inspect things.
She agreed to donate goods in the na of Joy Soon Loy Jam Company to the five-guarantee households. Xiao Pinshan ca with docunts for her approval and ntioned they could also use this opportunity to promote their company.
Cheng Su had already learned from Sister-in-law Gao that there would indeed be dia coverage alongside this event, as it was a charity activity. She responded, "Then arrange it, and deliver it to the designated place."
Xiao Pinshan acknowledged her instructions and gave Ying Xiaoya a look before leaving.
Ying Xiaoya returned a big smile at him. Cheng Su noticed and asked her after Xiao Pinshan left, "Are things going smoothly now?"
Ying Xiaoya’s smile faltered slightly: "Not smoothly!"
"Why?"
"His daughter is sowhat resistant and hostile towards !" Ying Xiaoya replied.
Cheng Su frowned and said, "That was to be expected. After all, she’s old enough to understand things."
Ying Xiaoya forced a smile, "Yes! So I can only take it slow. I believe in ti, she’ll accept , won’t she?"
Cheng Su didn’t answer that because it was uncertain; she just asked, "And how about your family? Are Auntie and the others okay with it now?"
"How could they be! They’re just not as outright resistant as before. They keep talking to about it, saying how being a stepmother is difficult, about differences in family status, urging to choose carefully and not regret it in the future. It’s to the point where my ears are getting calluses!" Ying Xiaoya sighed with a pained expression.
"Truly, parents have a hard ti; they just fear you might suffer in the future. After all, you’re their only daughter. And parents, well, they can’t force their children." Cheng Su said.
"I understand their feelings, but I just want to give it a try. I always feel that if you haven’t even tried, what’s the point in talking about success or failure?" Ying Xiaoya said softly. "I really like him and genuinely want to be with him. So, Susu, I really want to give it a shot. As for the future, I might regret it, but I also want to try!"
Since she had already said so much, what else could Cheng Su say? Perhaps this was the courage of love. She then said, "If that’s the case, do as you think best. While you’re not married yet, communicate and understand each other more! I hope you haven’t made the wrong choice!"
Ying Xiaoya nodded and flashed a sweet smile.
