Chapter 42 Flower Arrangement
Shen Xing guessed that his mother must have investigated the previous events, and he said: "Mom, Yanyan is a very good girl. I hope you won't have any opinion on her just because she dated someone else."

"Am I that feudal?" Mother Shen was furious. "What kind of society is this now? It's normal for men and women to have a few romances. Before I got together with your father, didn't I also have a crush on someone?"

Shen Xing said "Oh".

Mother Shen realized that she had said the wrong thing. She carefully looked around and saw that her husband was not nearby. She quickly lowered her voice and said, "Don't tell your father about this, or he will quarrel with me again."

Shen Xing nodded seriously, "Well, I won't tell my dad."

Mother Shen cleared her throat, took a deep breath, and said, "What I am dissatisfied with is that you actually did so many ridiculous things for a woman."

Of course, intellectually, she knew that this was all done by Shen Xing himself. Chu Yan didn't know about it, and she didn't instruct Shen Xing to live like a gangster.

But emotionally speaking, she is Shen Xing's mother. When she thinks about how her son has been acting crazy and stupid all these years and has been doing nothing, it is all for the purpose of one day letting people around him know that he and Chu Yan are together. He thinks that he is marrying up, and thus reduces the rejection of Chu Yan by people around him.

Just thinking about this, Mother Shen was indeed a little angry.

She stared at her son's young face and said, "Are you possessed by an evil spirit? Or have you been bewitched? For so many years, have you only believed in her?"

"I'm not possessed, nor have I been bewitched. In the past, now, and in the future, I will only recognize her."

Mother Shen was about to speak in displeasure when she heard Shen Xing say:
"Back then, you and Dad got married so quickly, wasn't it because you had chosen him for your life?"

Mother Shen's expression changed.

She was also Shen Xing's age. Youth is often accompanied by impulsiveness. When she is excited, she will rush forward without thinking.

Lucky people can get a good result after acting impulsively, while unlucky people may get a bloody head because they rush too hastily.

Fortunately, both Mother Shen and Father Shen are lucky people.

After a long silence, Mother Shen sighed, "Okay, I don't care about you anymore. You made the decision yourself. No matter what the consequences will be in the future, even if you regret it, you have to bear the consequences yourself."

Shen Xing said: "I know."

Mother Shen turned around and looked at the child Gu Chuan.

The old lady was surrounded in the middle, teaching them how to arrange flowers.

Mr. Shen is not cut out for this and is in a state of panic.

Chu Yan is very serious about her work and is very careful when cutting flowers.

Song Xueying sat opposite Chu Yan, fiddling with the flowers in her hands. She was a little absent-minded, probably because she was worried about having to face difficult parents-in-law again.

As for Gu Chuan, although he was sitting next to Song Xueying and did lend a hand to help her, something was wrong with him. He never raised his eyes and intentionally avoided any eye contact with Chu Yan sitting opposite him.

"You have been secretly in love with Chu Yan for seven years, but you never dared to confess because you felt that you were not as good as Gu Chuan. Have you ever thought about it..." Mother Shen looked at her son meaningfully, "If Chu Yan regained her memory and Gu Chuan changed his mind, could you win him over?"

Shen Xing, who had been able to respond fluently before, remained silent at this moment.

After seven years of relationship, no one can guarantee that they can really end it cleanly.

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu arrived a little later. They went to the old lady first and congratulated her on her birthday. However, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but looked at Chu Yan from time to time.

Chu Yan was being distracted by Mother Shen and didn't notice Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu didn't know if Chu Yan pretended not to know her, but if Chu Yan was a smart person, she should have pretended not to know her. Mrs. Gu was afraid that Chu Yan would come to disturb Gu Chuan's peaceful life. Indeed, with the comparison of Song Xueying, she had said before that it would be better for Chu Yan and Gu Chuan to be together, but now Gu Chuan was engaged to Song Xueying, and so many celebrities were invited at that time. If Gu Chuan had something with Chu Yan again, it would be a real joke.

Looking at Shen Xing again, Mrs. Gu felt depressed. At that time, she had thought about calling Shen Xing to ask him to persuade Gu Chuan not to be with Song Xueying. Shen Xing agreed, but he probably didn't do what she said at all.

This child, whom she used to regard as a fool, is actually quite scheming!

Noticing the gaze, Shen Xing smiled, "Hello, aunt."

Mrs. Gu forced a smile and maintained basic decency.

Mr. Gu looked at the flowers that everyone had arranged, shook his head, and said to Song Xueying: "Look at how beautiful the flowers that Miss Chu has arranged are. You need to put more effort into it."

Song Xueying was nervous and aggrieved, "Yes, I understand."

Mr. Gu was also dissatisfied with Song Xueying, but he was more restrained than his wife. However, the essence was the same. He felt that an ordinary woman like Song Xueying was not worthy of Gu Chuan.

Song Xueying is pretty and cute, has an average education and work ability, and her father is a poor man and her mother is a mistress. When they knew that Gu Chuan was going to be with such a woman, both Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were shocked.

Mr. Gu had never met Chu Yan before, so naturally he liked her much more than Song Xueying.

Gu Chuan said: "It's normal that Yaoyao has never learned it."

Mr. Gu glanced at his son and felt very unhappy that his son always defended Song Xueying.

Seeing that Song Xueying was a little embarrassed, Chu Yan also said: "I also learned a little from my colleagues, so I have some understanding of the color matching of flower arrangement. In fact, I know nothing about flower arrangement."

Mrs. Gu smiled and asked, "What kind of job does Miss Chu do?"

“I’m working for a wedding planning company now.”

Isn't that just a part-time worker?
Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "These jobs outside are very busy and the salary should not be high. Shen Xing is starting a business now and will be a big boss in the company in the future. You still have to improve yourself to avoid being laughed at."

"What your elder sister-in-law says is really interesting." Mother Shen also smiled elegantly and generously. "What's so funny about legitimate work done with your own hands? My father was stopped from receiving living allowance when he was abroad, and he even handed out flyers on the street. Later, he often brought this up to teach my elder brother and me that it is better to rely on ourselves than on others. If we don't rely on others to survive, we won't be constrained by others."

Mother Shen looked at Mr. Gu, "Am I right, brother?"

Mr. Gu was caught between his wife and sister, so he had to force himself to laugh. "It happened so long ago, why are you still bringing it up?"

The old lady took off her glasses, as if she could not see the tense atmosphere at the scene, and she was also interested in chatting, "Mentioning this incident reminds me of the past."

The old lady said: "When the old man wanted to be with me, the Gu family opposed it and cut off his living expenses. He was a rich young man, he handed out flyers on the street and washed dishes in a restaurant, but he never mentioned breaking up with me."

Mother Shen held the old lady's arm and said, "It was because Mom saw Dad's sincerity that she finally decided to return to China and marry him."

The old lady's smile was filled with nostalgia, "Yes."

Mrs. Gu wanted to say something, but her husband pulled her hand and she reluctantly shut up.

Shen Xing leaned close to Chu Yan's ear and whispered, "I told you my mom is very skilled."

Chu Yan looked up at him, smiled and said "hmm".

Song Xueying looked at Gu Chuan lovingly. He had just spoken for her, giving her hope again, but Gu Chuan didn't look at her. He looked at the red rose in his hand, as if in a trance.

It seemed as if it was just his responsibility for him to speak up to protect her.
