Chapter 485 No regrets
Chapter 485 No regrets
When Shu Meng returned home, she subconsciously moved lightly, appearing to be feeling very guilty.
Seeing her mother waiting for dinner, she felt even more guilty, as she had just eaten meat at Cao Anping's house.
Shu Meng warned herself not to do this again, and then pretended to be calm and shouted, "Mom, I'm back."
Shu's mother was not as kind as before. She sighed and asked seriously:
"Why did you stay at Dr. Cao's house for so long?
"If we're alone, the neighbors will gossip about us. What do you think, Xiao Meng?"
She saw with her own eyes that her daughter hurried into Cao Anping's house and it was probably half an hour before she came back.
During this period, Shu's mother was very worried, fearing that her two children would do something out of line.
If she hadn't seen that Cao Anping's door was not closed, she would have definitely gone to the door to call for help.
Shu Meng's expression froze, and she remained silent for a few seconds before she mustered up the courage to reply, "I...I like Doctor Cao."
Even a blind person could sense what she was thinking from her previous behavior, but she only confessed it openly to her mother now.
Mother Shu frowned and said, "As I said before, our family is marrying above her means.
I'm not against you two getting in touch, but it's been a while now, and you can't keep doing this in such a muddled way.
If both parties are interested, they can date openly. If they want to continue to get in touch and get to know each other, they must understand the differences between men and women and maintain a certain distance.
Xiao Meng, you've always been quite opinionated and you're not stupid. Do you still need me to teach you these basic etiquettes?"
In this era where matchmakers introduce people to each other and people get married after just a few meetings, Shu's mother is actually considered open-minded.
But she also had to consider her daughter's reputation. The two of them had come back after dark several times, and today they stayed in someone else's house for so long, which would definitely cause gossip.
Shu Meng didn't want to worry her mother, so she lowered her head and told the truth:
"We get along very well, but he said I was too thin and wanted to help me get in shape. He also promised to marry me in the future..."
Of course, she was too embarrassed to say private things like big breasts and big buttocks.
Shu's mother subconsciously thought that Cao Anping was not very reliable and felt that this was just a lie to deceive a little girl.
She had also been through a lot in her youth, and even if she hadn't experienced it, she had seen a lot, so she gave earnest advice:
"Xiao Meng, some things cannot be judged solely by how you say them, but also by how you do them.
They are all sweet words and empty talk. What if your reputation is ruined and he changes his mind in the end?
I definitely wouldn't do something as ridiculous as making a big deal out of it and forcing the other person to marry you.
Because that would be disrespectful to you, and even if you get married, you won't be happy in the future.
So you must maintain a good distance between you and the other person, protect yourself, and don't just agree to anything impulsively because you like them!"
"I know..." Shu Meng lowered her head unconsciously, because everything her mother said hit the mark, and it felt like she was deliberately pointing at her.
She really couldn't refuse Cao Anping's closeness. Except for the last step, her whole body was defenseless.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Shu's mother's heart sank, and she quickly asked, "How far have you come?"
"Kiss... kiss..." Shu Meng's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum. She lowered her head, looking like she had done something wrong.
"You..." Shu's mother felt her head buzz. She originally thought that the two of them were just holding hands at most, but she didn't expect it to have come to this.
She was a little angry and said to herself, "No! I'm going to talk to Cao Anping.
If he really wants to marry you, that's fine, but if he can't marry you, he should pay attention to etiquette and not ruin your reputation so foolishly! "
Shu Meng was startled and quickly stopped her mother: "No! Mom, don't go!
I believe in Dr. Cao, he won't lie to me, and even if we don't end up together, I won't regret it!"
Seeing her daughter's resolute expression, Shu's mother could only sigh helplessly: "Oh! It's up to you...
But you must promise mom that you won’t do that kind of thing before you get married!"
She had secretly made a decision that if the two children did not end up together, she would move to a smaller house farther away and move out of the compound.
It can be considered as leaving my daughter with some dignity, so that she doesn't have to be sad when seeing her every day.
"I understand...Thank you, Mom." Shu Meng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.
In fact, she felt somewhat helpless, and muttered to herself:
'Mom, you're overthinking it. Even if I agree, Dr. Cao still doesn't like my figure.
Otherwise, something must have happened in the grove at Shichahai that day.
At the same time, Cao Anping, who had just teased the girl and taken advantage of her, took out a glass of wine in a good mood.
He didn't know that his future mother-in-law almost came to his house to warn him.
Although Cao Anping is thick-skinned, the scene must have been quite embarrassing.
