Chi Shuyan took in the dislike and fake smile in Mother Shen’s eyes. After listening to her, she resisted the urge to roll her eyes. These words would have more weight if she were younger, but why would she want a mother now?
Even if she really wanted her father to find a companion, it wouldn’t be that Shen woman. Chi Shuyan was about to speak.
On the side, Chi Lingyan couldn’t help but speak first. “Madam Shen, I’m sorry, but I don’t have any plans to remarry now. My daughter is still young, so I’m worried! Besides, I only have this one daughter. I’m willing to work hard for Yan Yan for the rest of my life. I’m sure Commissar Shen and Madam Shen would do the same for their children!”
Chi Lingyan didn’t like Mother Shen’s arrogance and bossiness. What did she mean by “it isn’t easy for your father to raise and support you on his own,” and that he couldn’t toil his life away for his child?
These words sounded very unpleasant to Chi Lingyan, and he was afraid that his daughter would think too much.
Seeing her father’s expression, Chi Shuyan blinked at him, indicating that she didn’t think much of it.
On the side, Mother Shen’s face was very unsightly when she heard Chi Lingyan outright say that he wouldn’t remarry again. Even if the other party used his child as an excuse, Mother Shen was unhappy and her face was very ugly and stiff.
She forced a smile and said, “Captain Chi, I’m doing this for your own good. You’re still young; how can you waste your life like this for your child? Wouldn’t your daughter’s heart ache for you?”
When she said this, Mother Shen deliberately looked at Chi Shuyan, hoping that she would be soft-hearted and sensible enough to say a few words. Chi Shuyan pretended to not understand. If it was a reliable partner, she would still say a few words, but as for Shen Rongyin?
There was something wrong with that woman. Plus, she was involved with a black magic user. Chi Shuyan didn’t think that Shen Rongyin was a good person. There was no benefit in her father being with such a woman. Thinking of the two husbands who had died inexplicably, Chi Shuyan really suspected that there was something fishy about their deaths. Who knew if they were caused by that black magic user!
Seeing that Chi Lingyan’s daughter didn’t utter a word, Mother Shen’s face turned even uglier and she almost couldn’t breathe. Her husband had just said that Chi Lingyan had taught his daughter well, but it didn’t seem like it at all! Not only was she selfish, she was also insensible.
Mother Shen still wanted to say more, but Shen Rongyin suddenly appeared. When she saw Chi Lingyan and Chi Shuyan sitting on the sofa, her face changed drastically. She strode over to Chi Lingyan and apologized sincerely, then said to Father and Mother Shen, “Dad, Mom, what are you doing? I told you not to interfere with my relationship with Brother Chi. Whether Brother Chi likes me or not and wants to remarry, it has nothing to do with you.”
Mother Shen still wanted to say something, but Shen Rongyin interrupted, “Mom, don’t force him! I’m the one who has one-sided feelings for him!”
Chi Lingyan’s anger at being forced to come over completely dissipated, and his eyes turned slightly warmer when he looked at the woman in front of him.
Chi Shuyan observed the woman in front of her without blinking. Shen Rongyin wasn’t that simple. When she found out in particular that the woman wasn’t what she seemed, she wondered even more if this woman really didn’t know or was pretending not to know about this forceful matchmaking.
Also, why did this woman want to marry her father? Chi Shuyan’s eyes flashed sharply as the woman said to her gently, “Yan Yan, is your name Yan Yan? My surname is Shen, you can call me Aunt Shen in the future!”
