Xiao Zichen looked at his mother with some confusion. For more than a year, he had been busy growing the Sino-Ocean Group and paid little attention to his parents, but he didn't understand why his mother was dissatisfied with Jiang Moyao.
When he first dated Jiang Moyao, his mother never expressed any objection.
Xiao Zichen walked to the living room and sat down next to Mrs. Xiao.
"Mother, don't you like Momo?"
Xiao Zichen went straight in and said.
Mrs. Xiao, Lu Yazhen, lowered her head and said nothing, sighing softly.
Xiao Zichen saw this and continued to ask.
"Mother, you didn't object when Momo and I were together, why now?"
"Zi Chen, that was before, and now is now, and at that time I thought you and her were just in love. With your character, if you wanted to marry her at the beginning, why didn't you bring her back to see us after more than two years together. "
Mrs. Xiao finally spoke. Her son had experienced a failed marriage, and she did not want a second one.
For some reason, ever since she met Jiang Moyao more than a month ago, Mrs. Xiao always felt that the girl was too perfect, but it was this impeccable perfection that made her even more worried.
When Mrs. Xiao said this, Xiao Zichen fell silent. It wasn't that he couldn't answer, but that he didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that her son was silent, Mrs. Xiao did not ask further questions. She patted Xiao Zichen's hand and said kindly.
"Son, you are almost thirty years old. Mother should not be involved in these matters, but marriage is a lifelong matter after all. When you married Mo Yurou for the sake of this family, although mother was sad, she could not stop you. But. Now, mother just wants to say one thing to you, marriage is not a child's play, think about it carefully and don't do anything that makes you regret again."
After saying that, Mrs. Xiao stood up, sighed again, and walked towards the second floor.
Xiao Zichen's brows never relaxed. Looking at his mother's leaving back, he suddenly stood up.
"Mom, I love Momo. The reason why I never brought her back to see you was because I felt that our relationship was not yet stable, and Momo was not ready yet."
Mrs. Xiao, who had her back turned to Xiao Zichen, smiled faintly when she heard this, turned to look at her son, and asked.
"So she's ready now, huh?"
Xiao Zichen was stunned for a moment, looking at his mother's faint smile, he became quiet for once.
Mrs. Xiao came back at this time, came to Xiao Zichen, looked up at her son who was a head taller than herself, and said seriously.
"Once, she was not ready when you were together for two years, but this time, she has only been back for a short time. Although my mother doesn't like Mo Yurou, Miss Jiang chose to come back after Mo Zhenye passed away. From this point of view alone, Miss Jiang's character needs to be considered. Say something you don't like. Although Mo Yurou is arrogant and willful, she does things honestly. If she hadn't been from the Mo family, my mother might have liked her."
Mrs. Xiao is a person who pays great attention to rules. In her eyes, Mo Yurou is the kind of willful young lady from a rich family, but Jiang Moyao is the kind of person who doesn't know how to behave.
Especially as a wife, even if she didn't like Mo Yurou as her daughter-in-law, she still sympathized with her plight. But because her son was also at fault in this matter, she couldn't stand up out of selfish motives.
After hearing Mrs. Xiao's words, Xiao Zichen felt a little irritable.
"Mother, why did you suddenly speak for Mo Yurou? You were so opposed to it at the beginning, and if you want to interfere, Mo Yurou is the third party who interferes in the relationship! And this time when Momo came back, we didn't
Crossing the line.”
"Zi Chen, don't think that because your mother lives in Xiaozhai, you don't know anything. A man and a woman don't have to do anything to be called cheating. What's more, you and Miss Jiang were still together back then. Just for
On this point, you should also avoid suspicion before you and Mo Yurou divorced. But in fact, in those days, you went in and out of Miss Jiang's apartment every night. Do you think this is appropriate? Also, Mo Yurou treated you in the first place
The entanglement can only be regarded as fair competition between two women at best."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao sighed heavily, looked at Xiao Zichen who was hesitant to speak, and continued.
"Zi Chen, what my mother said is not really against this marriage. She just wants you to think twice before you act. You have to think clearly. After a failed marriage, is Miss Jiang really your best choice?
?Why did you choose Mo Yurou to propose to Miss Jiang this time? Is it a coincidence or you have concerns? Also, in the past few months, the newspapers in Los Angeles have reported how you doted on Miss Jiang.
, based on my understanding of you, you are not the kind of high-profile person who likes to show your love life to others, so why do you do this? "
After saying this, Mrs. Xiao gathered her coat and turned around again to go upstairs, but before going upstairs, she said something else.
"It's getting late, so you should go to bed early. As for the matter between you and Miss Jiang, if you feel that you really chose her just because of love, then mother will sincerely bless you."
Then, Mrs. Xiao went upstairs.
Now, Xiao Zichen was even more troubled. He wanted to go upstairs, but when he got to the stairs, he turned around and went directly to the wine cellar in the basement.
After staying in the wine cellar for a long time, I felt a little dizzy from drinking. I was about to go upstairs to rest when my cell phone rang.
Xiao Zichen took out his mobile phone and saw a text message from an unknown number. Xiao Zichen didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he was about to put away his phone, his eyes caught the word "Yaohua" and he clicked on the text message out of curiosity.
This is a piece of news about the business war between Yaohua Group and Sino-Ocean Group two years ago, but what is said here completely pushes Yaohua Group to be the innocent victim.
When Xiao Zichen saw this message, he immediately sobered up. He walked out of the wine cellar directly, then sent this message to Liu Mingyu, and then called Liu Mingyu.
"Mingyu, did you receive the text message? Go investigate, and also check the owner of this number. I want to find out who it is."
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, I'll go check it out right away."
After a brief explanation, Xiao Zichen returned to the room, but he was no longer sleepy at the moment. He simply got up and went to the study room, and found a pile of documents that he had almost torn through more than a year ago. They were all about Yaohua Group's actions against Sino-Ocean Group.
evidence.
The next day, when Xiao Zichen arrived at the company, Liu Mingyu was already waiting for him in the office.
"Mr. Xiao, I have checked that number. It is a space number and has no identity registration. As for the content of the text message, it is a bit troublesome and it will take some time."
Xiao Zichen seemed to have expected this answer and was not surprised.
"I know, don't rush this, check it slowly, but there must be a definite result."
"Okay, by the way, I just got a call from Xishang Celebration and asked when Mr. Xiao would have time to go over and take a look at their preliminary scene plan."
When Xiao Zichen heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then sat down, took a sip of coffee and said.
"It will take some time. The project in the New Science and Technology District has reached a critical stage. We will wait until we finish this project."
Liu Mingyu was a little surprised. Yesterday he was talking about finalizing the details of the wedding as soon as possible, but he changed his mind after one night.
However, Liu Mingyu didn't ask any more questions, nodded and left the office.
At noon, Xiao Zichen made an appointment with Jiang Moyao for lunch. When they met, Xiao Zichen noticed that Jiang Moyao looked wrong.
"Momo, why do you look so ugly? Are you sick?"
Jiang Moyao hurriedly touched his face, then covered his guilt with a smile and said.
"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night, so don't be too nervous."
"Insomnia?"
Xiao Zichen asked casually, Jiang Moyao smiled faintly and shook his head.
"No, I'm just rushing to make a design. By the way, Zi Chen, I have something I want to discuss with you."
After Jiang Moyao hesitated, he spoke.
Xiao Zichen looked at Jiang Moyao tenderly and nodded.
"you say."
At this time, Jiang Moyao's face became even more ugly, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Zi Chen, in three months, there will be a jewelry design competition, and the company asked me to participate, so I want to ask if our wedding can be put on hold for the time being."
After Jiang Moyao said this, he looked at Xiao Zichen nervously. He thought Xiao Zichen would be unhappy, but Xiao Zichen just smiled gently.
Xiao Zichen grabbed Jiang Moyao's hand and said considerately.
"So that's why you had insomnia last night, right? Are you afraid that I'll be unhappy or that I won't agree with you?"
Xiao Zichen felt instantly relaxed at this moment. Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to talk about postponing the wedding, but now that Jiang Moyao spoke first, he just followed the trend.
Jiang Moyao didn't expect Xiao Zichen's reaction to be so calm. She felt a little sad, but after the sadness, she felt a little relaxed.
"Zi Chen, you won't blame me! This design competition is very important to me. If I can win this grand prize, I will be one step closer to my goal."
"Why should I blame you? It has always been your dream to become the most powerful designer. Isn't it just a postponement? It's not like you won't marry me. Anyway, you, Jiang Moyao, will eventually be my wife, Xiao Zichen."
Hearing these words, the sadness in Jiang Moyao's heart disappeared again, and she even felt a little guilty. For a moment just now, she actually doubted Xiao Zichen's feelings for her.
"Zi Chen, thank you. Don't worry, I will only marry you in this life."
In England, this is the third day after Mo Yurou moved to the villa. Because of the news of Xiao Zichen's proposal, Mo Yurou had a depressing day. However, she adjusted quickly, numbed herself with work, and gradually got rid of the depressed mood.
.
"Miss, Mr. Hodder is here."
At this time, Mo Yurou was in the backyard of the villa. This was a glass house that Mo Yurou had built some time ago. It was full of tools that Mo Yurou used for painting.
Hearing Wu Ma's voice, Mo Yurou came back from her work, raised her head, and came face to face with an elderly man in his sixties, with white hair and a beard, but exuding an artistic atmosphere.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
"Beautiful Yurou, don't you want to become my master? If you can win this grand prize, I will accept you as my disciple."
