Chapter 723 - You Really… Don’t Want to Fight for It?
“Aunt Mo, I think we should forget it. Brother Ah Si is already married, and he really likes Mianmian. If I continue to pester him… it won’t be good.”
Madam Mo’s expression changed, and she asked nervously, “Rourou, are you giving up? You don’t want to be with Ah Si anymore?”
Madam Mo got even more nervous when she thought of Gong Zeli.
Shen Rou was her favorite daughter-in-law.
Only Shen Rou was worthy of her son.
If she fell in love with another man, where would she find such a suitable daughter-in-law?
Shen Rou sighed and said sadly, “Aunt Mo, it’s not that I want to give up. But Brother Ah Si is already married, what can I do? I… I can’t possibly be the third party to destroy his family.
“I’m the daughter of the Shen family. I have my pride and dignity too. If I do this, not only will I embarrass myself, but the Shen family as well. Aunt Mo, I admit that Brother Ah Si and I are not fated.
“Actually, Mianmian is a nice person too. Although I’ve only met her a few times, I don’t think she’s a bad person. She looks like a very innocent girl. As for the rumors, I think there might really be some misunderstanding.
“Didn’t the male lead of their production team come forward to clarify things?
“Aunt Mo, if you try to get to know her and accept her, you might…”
“Impossible. Never.”
Before Shen Rou could finish, Madam Mo interrupted her agitatedly. “I will never accept her as my daughter-in-law.”
“But she’s already your daughter-in-law.”
“She isn’t.” Madam Mo’s eyes were filled with disgust. “I’ll get Ah Si to divorce her. The Second Young Madam of the Mo family can’t be an actress, much less a woman who’s so improper and good at provoking men.”
Shen Rou sighed. “I’m afraid Brother Ah Si won’t agree to divorce her.”
“He has to divorce her no matter what.”
Madam Mo was afraid that Shen Rou would really give up just like that. She held Shen Rou’s hand tightly and said in a gentler tone, “Rourou, you’re the most suitable for Ah Si. He’s being insensible now and has been bewitched by that shameless woman.
“When he comes back to his senses, he’ll know who’s really suitable for him. He’s being silly now, but I can’t just watch him continue this way. Can you give him a chance?
“You’ve liked Ah Si for so many years, are you really willing to give him up?
“You really… don’t want to fight for him?
“Of course, Aunt Mo doesn’t mean to force you. I just feel that it’s not easy to meet someone you like in this lifetime. It’s a pity to give up just like that.”
Shen Rou kept quiet.
Madam Mo was happy to see her like this. “Rourou, give Ah Si and yourself a second chance.”
After a long silence, Shen Rou looked up and said, “But Aunt Mo, even if I give him another chance, he won’t accept me. The person he likes is…”
“That’s why Aunt Mo asked if you’re willing to fight for it.” Madam Mo reached out and stroked Shen Rou’s hair tenderly. She lowered her voice and said, “Rourou, Aunt Mo has thought of a way to get you and Ah Si together.”
