Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions
Chapter 20 The Betrothed Childhood Sweetheart
Madam Shen was taken aback, feeling as if her house had been robbed. Shen Chumo saw Madam Shen and said with a smile, "Aunt, you've come."
Madam Shen approached Shen Chumo with heartache, "Chumo, look at your face, you've gotten so thin."
Shen Chumo, who had only been lying down for a few hours: "...&34;
Madam Shen then looked at Gu Xiyan, scrutinized him from head to toe, and asked, "And who is this?"
Chu Mo just returned to China and already has friends? She doesn't look like a high school student at all.
Gu Xiyan stood up and solemnly introduced himself, "Hello, Mrs. Shen, I am Gu Ming's son, Gu Xiyan."
"The Gu family?" Madam Shen frowned. "I heard from Linlin that Mo Mo's broken bone was caused by that brat Gu Beichen pushing her. Are you here to apologize on his behalf?"
Madam Shen grew angrier the more she thought about it. "Gu Beichen is still Momo's fiancé. Is this how a fiancé should act? Do you Gu family members think our Shen family is easy to bully? Let me tell you, this is not over."
Gu Xiyan lowered his head and listened obediently to the scolding, not daring to refute, "Yes, it's all our fault, I will definitely give Momo an explanation."
Shen Chumo pulled Madam Shen's hand and said coquettishly, "Aunt, don't be angry. I forgot to tell you something. I broke off my engagement with Gu Beicheng last night, so he is no longer my fiancé."
Madam Shen was taken aback. She wasn't angry that Shen Chumo had broken off the engagement without her consent. Instead, she nodded and said, "Fine. Anyway, Gu Beichen isn't good enough for you, Momo. Don't worry, Momo, I promise to find you an exceptional husband. Only someone like him deserves to be by your side."
"Aunt, what are you saying? I'm still young." Shen Chumo's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at Gu Xiyan, making Gu Xiyan's throat tighten.
Madam Shen shielded Shen Chumo behind her, looking at Gu Xiyan warily, "Since our Momo has nothing to do with your Gu family anymore, what are you still doing here?"
"Mrs. Shen, I..."
Shen Chumo explained on behalf of Gu Xiyan: "Brother Xiyan is my friend. He just came to see me on his own behalf. He is different from Gu Beicheng. He is a good person."
Madam Shen frowned even deeper, her gaze towards Gu Xiyan unfriendly, as if she were looking at a big bad wolf trying to steal their little white rabbit.
But since Shen Chumo had already spoken, Madam Shen would give her face and therefore did not ask to drive Gu Xiyan away.
"Mo Mo, come on, try the cordyceps and pork rib soup I've been making for you all afternoon." Madam Shen opened the thermos, ladled out a small bowl, and handed it to Shen Chu Mo.
Shen Chumo took the bowl and smelled it. A rich aroma wafted up, making his mouth water. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Auntie, it smells so good! You must have put a lot of thought into it."
Madam Shen had been working tirelessly on the soup the entire time, personally overseeing every step to ensure the flavor and nutritional value were at their best. Hearing Shen Chumo say this, she felt very comforted, but said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's what I should do. As long as you like it, that's all that matters. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Shen Chumo ate in small bites, nodding and praising as she ate, enjoying every bite as if it were filled with happiness. Madam Shen and Gu Xiyan, seeing her satisfied expression, smiled with satisfaction.
Suddenly, the ward door was pushed open with a creak. Then, Jiang Shao led Gu Beicheng in. Gu Beicheng's face was bruised and swollen, his flesh bulging out like a pig's head, making people want to laugh.
Seeing this, Shen Chumo's lips curled up slightly, but she still tried her best to suppress her laughter.
Madam Shen asked in surprise, "What happened?"
Jiang Shao patted Gu Beichen hard on the back, then glared at him fiercely and said loudly, "Hurry up and apologize to Chu Mo!"
Gu Beichen lowered his head and slowly walked to Shen Chumo. He looked up at her face, a hint of infatuation in his eyes. At the same time, a deep sense of regret welled up inside him. If he had discovered Shen Chumo's beauty sooner, perhaps he wouldn't have broken off the engagement with her.
Gu Beichen lowered his head and said softly, "Shen Chumo, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that you got hurt. Please forgive me."
Shen Chumo raised her eyes and looked at Gu Beichen quietly, her eyes devoid of any emotion. Her voice was as light and melodious as the sound of a wind chime, yet it was also like a biting cold wind, piercing deep into Gu Beichen's heart.
"I forgive you." Gu Beicheng and Jiang Shao were overjoyed, while Madam Shen and Gu Xiyan frowned.
Shen Chumo changed the subject, "However, I also hope that Gu can stay away from my life and friends in the future. Even if we meet at school, I hope Gu will act as if we don't know each other. This is better for both of us."
This meant he wouldn't forgive her, which wasn't the outcome Gu Beichen wanted. His eyes glazed over, and he opened his mouth to say, "No, Chu Mo, don't do this to me, I..."
Gu Xiyan stood in front of Shen Chumo, "That's enough, Gu Beichen. Don't disturb Momo's rest anymore. Momo doesn't blame you; she's already being kind and generous. Don't push your luck." His words carried a warning tone.
Jiang Shao looked at Gu Xiyan with a threatening look in his eyes, "Gu Xiyan, don't forget, Beichen is your younger brother. How can you, as the older brother, speak to Beichen like that?"
Gu Xiyan did not back down as before, but looked directly at Jiang Shao and said with a slight parting of his thin lips: "Ms. Jiang, given our current relationship, I'm afraid you can't order me around."
Jiang Shao gripped her handbag tightly. "What? You don't want to acknowledge me as your mother anymore?"
Gu Xiyan didn't speak, but his eyes revealed an ambiguous meaning.
Jiang Shao sneered, "Fine, truly worthy of being Gu Ming's son." Jiang Shao turned to Shen Chumo, her gaze softening. "Chumo, our family has wronged you in this matter. You can make any request, and Auntie will find a way to make it up to you."
Your mother and I have a very good relationship, and I really don't want to see our two children's relationship turn out like this. For your aunt's sake, please forgive Beicheng. He will definitely change in the future and will take better care of you.
Yan Shanshan, listening at the door, was furious. This old woman always humiliated her; every time she saw her, it was like seeing a piece of trash she couldn't get rid of. But when she was with Shen Chumo, her attitude changed completely.
No, I absolutely cannot let Shen Chumo forgive Gu Beichen! Yan Shanshan's gaze hardened, as if she had made up her mind. She suddenly flung open the door, rushed into the room, and knelt down directly in front of Shen Chumo.
Tears streamed down Yan Shanshan's cheeks as she sobbed, her voice choked with emotion, "Shen, please forgive Beicheng! He really didn't mean to do that to you. Everything he did was for me... If you have to blame someone, then blame me!"
