On the day I was caught, the heir of a wealthy family took me to get the certificate.

"Mom, how could you do this?"

Chu Jingyu was very disappointed and complained to his mother with a resentful expression.

It was the first time that Mrs. Chu was complained by her son. She immediately panicked and quickly explained, "I didn't do anything. I just said a few words to Miss Shen."

Chu Jingyu obviously didn't believe it, but seeing his mother's panicked expression, he couldn't bear it, so he could only look at Shen Manzi for confirmation.

Shen Manzi said: "Indeed, she only said a few words to me, reminding me to recognize the gap between you and me, and also told me that you have a childhood sweetheart fiancée. It was wrong for you to provoke me in a moment of confusion. It was because she did not educate you well, and she also apologized to me."

Chu Jingyu covered his face.

His mother would really say that this tactic is a retreat in order to advance. With Shen Manzi's arrogant personality, how could she possibly pay attention to him?

"I was wondering if you think my nose is not a nose, my eyes are not eyes, and I am indifferent to you. So this is the reason. Manman, you should have told me earlier. In your eyes, I am so useless that I can't even solve such a small matter?"

"Why should I tell you? I don't have to have you." Shen Manzi snorted and laughed, "Your mother came to protest to me, but she probably doesn't know that from the beginning, you were the one who fell in love first."

"Yes, yes, it was me who fell in love with you first and I pursued you. Mom, because of what you said, your son has had a miserable life in the past few months. He has been trying to please others all day long, but was still despised. He has never suffered such hardship in his life." Chu Jingyu first tried to please Shen Manzi, and then complained to Mrs. Chu.

Mrs. Chu was a soft-hearted woman with well-developed tear glands. When she heard what her son said, her eyes immediately moistened and she apologized pitifully: "Jingyu, I didn't know. I thought she was pestering you. If I had known you were a licking dog, I would definitely not let you call her over."

Su Jinchu clenched his fists and pinched his palms with his nails to prevent himself from laughing.

This Mrs. Chu is also a funny person.

"Okay, it's my fault for not explaining it to you clearly. Now I'm telling you, I like Shen Manzi, and I pursued her. It was very hard but I never got tired of it. I like her, Mom, and I want to marry her home. If you can accept her as your daughter-in-law, your son will suffer less. If you don't accept..."

"Don't you like it anymore?" Mrs. Chu asked eagerly.

Chu Jingyu said, "Even if you don't accept me, I still like her and will marry her home. You can see that she is rich and powerful, and whether you like her or not has no effect on her. The only one affected is your son, who lives between you like a sandwich. You are my mother, I will definitely not abandon you, she is my beloved, I will definitely not give up on her, I don't know how long I can live in this sandwich life. You also know that there are a lot of things to do in the unit, and I am under a lot of pressure. In the future, not only will I have a lot of pressure at work, but I will also have a lot of pressure at home. If this continues, there is a high risk of sudden death."

"You know that being with her is risky, so why can't you find someone else to love? Fang Qi is pretty good. You two grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and know each other well. If you marry her, you won't have to suffer from being caught in the middle." Mrs. Chu advised helplessly.

Fang Qi was very embarrassed when her name was mentioned, but she said nothing.

Chu Jingyu smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, marrying a wife is not like buying cabbage, it's okay to have someone who's almost there. I don't like Fang Qi, so why should I marry her? It's because we're childhood sweethearts and grew up together, and I only treat her as a sister. There's a professional term called the Westermarck effect. It means that two children who grew up together in their early years usually don't have sexual attraction to each other when they grow up. This phenomenon prevents sexual behavior between close relatives, thereby avoiding inbreeding. The Westermarck effect applies not only to blood-related individuals, but also to unrelated individuals who have lived together. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for liking to bring Fang Qi home since you were a child. This is a genetic ban and it can't be changed."

Mrs. Chu: "..."

After talking for so long, he still blames himself.

"Manman, I said everything I needed to say in front of my mom and Fang Qi. You promised me that you would be my girlfriend, and you can't break your promise."

When Chu Jingyu saw that his mother had nothing to say, he looked at Shen Manzi eagerly to remind her.

"I……"

Shen Manzi opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

She thought he didn't dare say these in front of his mother. After all, she had heard from others that he was a well-known filial son and was most afraid of seeing his mother cry.

As long as his mother cried, he would agree to anything.

Unexpectedly, he actually said it?

"Ms. Su is a witness."

As soon as Chu Jingyu saw her expression, he knew that she didn't want to admit it, and immediately brought Su Jinchu out to testify.

"Aunt, I'm sorry to bother you."

Shen Manzi apologized to Mrs. Chu Er.

Mrs. Chu said quickly, "I am being presumptuous. Don't be angry. If you are angry, tell me instead of taking it out on my son."

Shen Manzi was embarrassed and said to Chu Jingyu: "Let's go out and talk!"

"it is good."

Chu Jingyu smiled and nodded.

Although he was not afraid to confess his feelings in front of his mother and Fang Qi, he felt that some shameless words were better said when they were alone.

"sorry for disturbance."

After Shen Manzi and Chu Jingyu left, Su Jinchu also said goodbye to Mrs. Chu and planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chu looked at her and asked, "Are you Miss Shen's friend?"

Su Jinchu was about to turn around, but when he heard the question, he had to stop and nodded.

Mrs. Chu Er said, "There is still some time before we start to meditate. If you don't mind, could you stay and tell me what kind of person Miss Shen is?"

"This……"

Su Jinchu didn't know whether he should agree or not.

"Don't worry, young lady. Auntie is very easy to get along with."

Fang Qi smiled and added a chair for her next to Mrs. Chu Er.

The chairs were already arranged, so Su Jinchu had to stay.

Only after she sat down did Mrs. Chu see her slightly bulging belly.

Surprised, "Are you pregnant?"

Su Jinchu nodded.

Mrs. Chu Er quickly said to Fang Qi, "Qi Qi, get this young lady a cushion to put on the chair. The chair is cold and hard, and you can't sit on it when you're pregnant. You need a softer cushion."

Su Jinchu was deeply moved. She didn't expect Mrs. Chu to be so thoughtful and considerate. She couldn't help but thank her quickly: "Thank you, Mrs. Chu."

"You're welcome. Since... you are Miss Shen's friend and my son insists on marrying her, you are my future daughter-in-law's friend and it is only right for me to be polite to you. What's more, you are pregnant and pregnant women should be treated preferentially. I am also a woman and have given birth to children. I know how hard it is for a woman to be pregnant. If I don't know how to take care of you, wouldn't I be unworthy of my identity as a woman?" Mrs. Chu explained gently.

Su Jinchu was even more moved. Although Mrs. Chu was from a wealthy and powerful family, she was very approachable and humble.

"Mrs. Chu, Manman is a very good girl. You are so kind. I believe that after you get to know her more and get to know each other, you will definitely like her."
