rried about major problems"Alright, alright, Shen Yian. Just get back together with Gu Cheng quickly. All this back and forth is getting tiresome, you're not the only one who's annoyed by it.We're doi...Shen Yian followed his colleagues downstairs. Before he could see the so-called mother-in-law, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice coming from the crowd.

"What are you saying It's just that I didn't lend her money. She turned around and threatened my son with marriage!"

My son is completely obsessed with her now; he can't eat or sleep, and he has no interest in work. He's tried to get back together with her several times, but she blocked him each time.

“So I, the shameless old woman, had to come beg her. Alas, I can only hope she will forgive us, this ordinary family, for not being able to afford her high expenses. I hope that in the future she will live happily with my son. We all love her as a smart and capable daughter-in-law.”

Shen Yian heard the voices and pushed through the crowd, seeing Gu Cheng's mother with red-rimmed eyes.

Gu's mother wore a black cotton dress and carried a small bag in the crook of her arm. Her face was troubled, and she looked like a proper and respectable honest woman.

In a bustling metropolis like Haicheng, a well-dressed older woman always wins the favor of young people over one wearing a sweat-stained shirt.

As soon as Gu's mother saw Shen Yian arrive, she didn't wait for her to react before grabbing her wrist.

"Yian, you finally agreed to see me. I apologize on Gu Cheng's behalf. He speaks directly and might have offended you. Please forgive him for my sake"

Mrs. Gu's words were earnest and sounded like those of a caring mother, no different from any other.

But Shen Yian knew that Mrs. Gu was not such a person.

After Gu Cheng's proposal, he said he wanted to introduce his mother to Shen Yian. She felt that Gu Cheng valued her very much, so she prepared fruits and a cashmere scarf as gifts for Mrs. Gu in advance.

Who knew, when Mother Gu saw her gift, she gave a fake smile and directly threw the scarf onto the sofa. Her tone also became strange and unpredictable.

A boy from our town married a girl from the big city. The girl directly gave her mother-in-law a large gold bangle, and a few days later, she also sent a large gold necklace. It's really enviable!

After finishing her words, Mother Gu deliberately rubbed her empty wrists.

Shen Yian, even if she was foolish, could understand that Gu's mother thought the gift she had given was too light.

Unfortunately, she was still naive and thought that Mrs. Gu might not understand high-end goods, so she wanted to explain.

"Auntie, this scarf is..."

"Sending warmth, I understand, but that's not really my style. I prefer scarves, especially those with flowers. They're so pretty." Mrs. Gu gestured toward the floral scarf draped over the back of a chair.

"Aunt..."

Shen Yian just wanted to say that she bought a high-end cashmere scarf, warm and light, much more expensive than her polyester gauze scarf, but was interrupted by Gu Cheng.

"Mom, if you don't like me, just let Yi'an withdraw. Tomorrow, I'll have her buy you a gold bangle and we'll definitely go to the store to pick one you're satisfied with."

After finishing his words, Gu Cheng kept giving Shen Yi'an meaningful glances.

Shen Yian felt upset, but he didn't want to create a rift in their relationship on their first meeting. So, he just smiled and didn't give a clear agreement.

But Mrs. Gu was overjoyed and immediately invited Shen Yian to sit down for a meal.

Shen Yian originally thought everyone would just have a meal together, get to know each other, and leave a good impression.

To her surprise, all Mrs. Gu had cooked were spicy dishes. She couldn't eat spicy food, and Gu Cheng knew this. She helplessly looked at Gu Cheng, but found that he was eating more happily than anyone else.

"Mom, the food you cooked is really delicious."

"Eat more if you like it, Yian. Come on, have some too." Mother Gu scooped a large spoonful of spicy soup and brought it to Shen Yian's lips.

Shen Yian frowned and refused, "Sorry, Auntie, I can't eat spicy food."

Gu's mother let out a snort: "Gu Cheng loves spicy food the most. If you don't like eating it, how will you cook for him in the future You just haven't gotten used to eating it, get used to it. Come, let me feed you."

Shen Yian was taken aback, she never expected Madam Gu to suddenly shove a mouthful of spicy soup into her mouth without warning, and then smiled while tugging on Gu Cheng's arm.

"See I told you she could handle the spice. City girls are just so dramatic, they act like they can't handle anything spicy. After getting used to it, it's all the same."ren't even any tears.Yes, it doesn't exist.She can't be too hard-line anymore, or else the boss will hate her.She had to act emotionally, putting on a facade of sympathy, making people feel that she w...
