Chapter 253 I Don’t Need This Kind of Love

After arriving home, Cheng Xuan shouted as soon as he walked into the house: "Mom and Dad! I'm back!"

When his mother heard his voice, she walked from the living room to the front door and said unhappily, "Don't be so startled. You're frightening me to death. Where's your brother? Didn't he come back with us? Didn't I tell you that it was grandma's birthday and you all had to come back? Where is he?"

"My brother, who values ​​women over his younger brother, left with his girlfriend as soon as he got off the plane. He said he was staying at my eldest sister-in-law's house and would go directly to my grandmother's house on her birthday."

Cheng Xuan handed the bag to her mother and said, "Mom, this is a gift for you. I bought it."

"You bought it?" Yang Wanqing smiled helplessly and ignored his courtesy. "Your brother bought it, where did you get the money?"

"I chose it and my brother paid for it, so it's me who bought it." Cheng Xuan didn't forget to take credit for it, "And I also discovered a shocking secret of my brother. If you give me some information fee, I'll tell you."

Yang Wanqing rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Don't think I don't know that my brother bought you a house in Munich and a sports car. Ah Xuan, I've told you so many times that you are a student, don't be so high-profile when you go out. Just live in the house your brother lets you live in, and give the sports car back to him. As a student, you can just take a taxi. When I was in college, I always took the bus. You should be content."

"Mom, are you my real mother? Why are you so partial?" Cheng Xuan pulled his mother to sit in the living room again and asked mysteriously, "Are you really not curious about who my brother's girlfriend is?"

"Who is it?" Yang Wanqing asked, "Your father introduced him to the daughter of Governor Wu before. The girl went to work in Switzerland not long ago. I wonder if she and your brother have developed anything. Is it her?"

"No!" Cheng Xuan said immediately, "My brother has no contact with her. Mom, you should have seen this person."

Yang Wanqing was a little confused and said to herself in confusion: "I have met...your brother's previous girlfriend, I have met her twice..."

Yang Wanqing suddenly thought of it and asked Cheng Xuan in a low voice, "Is it Professor Wen?"

"Yes, mom!" Cheng Xuan said immediately, "It's our Professor Iseylia, the deadly female devil. Oh my god, I don't even know how my brother knew her. It can't be that they met during research!

"My brother is always fierce and aggressive in front of me, but he is as good as a primary school student in front of her, calling her "wife" and "baby" all the time. And, my brother even cooks for her! My brother can actually cook! My brother actually cooks for his girlfriend!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Yang Wanqing patted Cheng Xuan's head and spat, "Professor Wen is so good. She is so successful at such a young age. I have heard about her research results. Even your grandfather often praises her. And she is beautiful. Your brother has good taste."

Although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable. For Yang Wanqing, Cheng Che grew up under her watch, and there was no difference between him and her own child. After the breakup, Cheng Che was sad and lost for a long time. He locked himself in his room for more than a month and didn't even go out. She was an experienced person, so she naturally knew how deep Cheng Che's love for Wen Song was.

Five years passed, and Cheng Che never had any other opposite sex around him. No matter how much the elders urged him to get married, he just perfunctorily responded. Later, because his grandparents and Cheng Bowen urged him too much, he simply lived in Switzerland and never came back. Except for his mother's death anniversary, he would not go back to Hangzhou.

More than a month ago, Cheng Che was distracted for a moment when he heard Cheng Xuan talking about his professor. Yang Wanqing saw that he had not let it go. He was still thinking about the girl he brought home six years ago and who was holding his hand by his side.

At that time, Cheng Che's face was filled with a happy and proud smile. For the first time in so many years, he said to them happily, "Mom, Dad, Grandma, this is my girlfriend, Iseylia, her Chinese name is Wen Song."

"You all knew about this, but you kept it from me." Cheng Xuan suddenly felt betrayed and muttered unhappily, "You knew but didn't tell me. If I had known, I wouldn't have applied for LMU's graduate program. Now I'm playing mixed doubles every day. I don't know what my brother likes about her. He's so fierce."

"Come on!" Yang Wanqing rolled her eyes again. "The professor is your sister-in-law, so just be content. If you can find a girlfriend who is half as good as Professor Wen, I will not only burn incense, but I will live in a temple and kneel down to clean the floor in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva every day."

When Cheng Xuan heard the word "sister-in-law", he shuddered almost reflexively and said to his mother, "Mom, you know, I failed a class this semester. What a coincidence, it was the class taught by my sister-in-law."

"That's because you don't study hard enough." Yang Wanqing sighed and said, "Ah Xuan, your brother told me, and your sister-in-law told him that you are smart, but not serious enough. You don't have any big problems, but you make small mistakes all the time. You can't go on like this. If you really don't like studying, you can drop out or change your major, but don't waste your time, okay?"

"I know, mom." Cheng Xuan explained, "I just don't like theoretical astrophysics, but my practical course scores are very high, all above 2.5. My sister-in-law studies planetary formation and is also engaged in theoretical research, which I am not interested in."

"I feel relieved that you know what's going on."

Yang Wanqing nodded, and then lowered her voice and told Cheng Xuan, "Don't tell anyone else about your brother and Professor Wen's reunion, not even your father and grandparents. Especially don't tell your father and grandmother, remember?"

"Why?" Cheng Xuan was puzzled. "Don't Dad and Grandpa and Grandma know that Iseylia is my brother's girlfriend?"

"Your father and your grandmother..." Yang Wanqing looked embarrassed, "They don't like Professor Wen very much, and some are against your brother dating her, so don't say anything before your brother tells them. Also, don't tell your classmates that Professor Wen is your brother's girlfriend, remember?"

"Oh, I remember." Cheng Xuan nodded, not quite understanding, and asked, "Why don't they like Iseylia? She has very good conditions, and I heard that her family is very rich, not worse than ours."

"Don't ask so many questions. Adults have their own ideas. Just take care of yourself."

On grandma's birthday, Cheng Che got up early because he had to go home. After Wen Song arrived in Hangzhou, she couldn't fall asleep at night because of the time difference. When Cheng Che got up, she had just fallen asleep. When she heard his voice, she frowned and woke up with some displeasure.

"I'm sorry for waking you up." Cheng Che walked up to her and hugged her, saying, "Baby, it's my grandma's birthday. Can you go home with me?"

"No." Wen Song closed his eyes again, turned over and said, "There are so many people, it's annoying to see them."

"Grandma likes you very much. She will be very happy if you go." Cheng Che said with a smile, "You are her most precious and good granddaughter-in-law."

Wen Song laughed dryly twice and said to Cheng Che, "Don't lie to me. Do you think I'm stupid? I can see that your grandma doesn't like me very much."

"No, how could she not like you? She likes you the most." Cheng Che continued to coax her, "Grandma always told me to learn from you."

Wen Song yawned, pouted and said, "You don't know, she just doesn't like me anyway. I don't know how to deal with people anyway, why bother myself. Cheng Che, I repeat, we are still lovers now, even if we get married one day, please don't force me to integrate into your family, OK?"

Hearing her words, Cheng Che still felt disappointed, but he still smiled and said, "I know, I won't force you. But baby, why do you think grandma doesn't like you? When you came to our house before, grandma wanted to give you our ancestral jade bracelet."

"Just like what you said, she likes me because she sees me as her granddaughter-in-law, your girlfriend, not because she admires me as a person. Sorry Roche, I don't need this kind of love, and I am disgusted by it. I hope you understand."

This was the first time Wen Song called him Roche since they met again. Because of insomnia and early awakening, she was in a bad mood and her words were a little blunt.

Cheng Che knew that she was suppressing her anger, and quickly coaxed her: "Okay, I know, baby, I'm sorry, I made you unhappy, I won't mention it again. But even if you are not my girlfriend, grandpa and grandma admire you very much. You have made such great achievements in the field of astrophysics, and grandpa and grandma often praise you at home. So baby, don't misunderstand."

Wen Song shook his head and said to Cheng Che, "It's not just this reason. After I went to your grandparents' house, I went to Xuanyan's house. You know, I hate that kind of occasion, so that night I was walking the dog with Xuanyan, and I happened to meet your grandma, and then she happened to see me smoking."

"That's nothing. My grandma isn't that old-fashioned." Cheng Che explained immediately, "If she told you not to smoke, it was for your health."

"Do you know what she said to me?" Wen Song suppressed his sneer and said to Cheng Che, "She told me that smoking is bad for the body and asked me not to smoke, otherwise it would be bad for pregnancy and the baby would be more likely to be deformed. This sentence was really offensive. If it wasn't because she is your grandmother, I would really scold her. So, please don't let me go to your house again, ok?"

After hearing this, Cheng Che cried out that he was doomed. Although from the old man's perspective, his original intention was probably out of concern. But Cheng Che knew that every word of this sentence touched Wen Song's reverse scale, and he instantly understood why Wen Song was unwilling to go home with him.

He looked at Wen Song with some grievance and said coquettishly: "I'm sorry, baby, I'm really sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of grandma. Okay, then we won't go, you go to bed, I will come back early to accompany you in the evening. Don't be angry with me, this is definitely not what I meant."

"I know that's not what you meant." Wen Song wasn't really angry. He softened his tone, kissed Cheng Che on the cheek and said, "So I didn't blame you. I just explained the fact to you. Okay, go ahead and wish your grandma a happy birthday."

After Cheng Che left, Wen Song couldn't sleep. She couldn't help but start thinking that Cheng Che and she still had differences. In a relationship, she didn't need to consider family factors, and she wouldn't consider them, but Cheng Che, could he really not care?

Wen Song wanted to trust him, but found that he couldn't seem to truly trust him, and he was even more unwilling to make things difficult for Cheng Che.
