Chapter 2554: Mother and Son Facing the Same Enemy (3)
“The clothes mean nothing to me, but that money is enough for his one-month expenditure.”
She paused for a moment before continuing to speak with a smile. “There’s not much surprise in the relationship with a commoner. The money he scrimped and saved to last through one semester is only enough for me to buy a powder foundation. One can kiss goodbye to surprises in such a bland and unexciting relationship; I even had to accommodate to his values, views on money, and outlook on life! Even though we loved each other, our relationship ultimately could not stand up against the cruel reality.”
The actress could not help but be stunned by what she said.
“That’s why I’m so envious of you, Shishi. I can tell that Brother Zhe truly dotes on you, for he’s willing to accommodate your lifestyle and values despite having always been living in the lap of luxury! He truly does love you so.”
Youyou, meanwhile, kept mum throughout their conversation. Inwardly, though, he found what the woman had said to be ludicrous.
Is that how relationships should be?
Based on materialistic desires and values?
Be it dating or marriage, do women only want beautiful designer clothes, expensive bags, dazzling jewelry, and money? Could all those truly satisfy their desires?
If only love is so simple…
The truth is, as long as the couple willingly works hard to integrate into each other’s life, they can develop enough chemistry in their relationship.
Love can break all rules and stereotypes and can overcome anything and everything.
Even though daddy was indeed born with a silver spoon in his mouth, there’s no such thing as him needing to yield to mommy just to accommodate her. In fact, he appears more than delighted to do so! It isn’t because he’s so noble but because he loves mommy enough to do that.
His mother sniggered at this time. “So what are you driving at?”
With wide eyes, Rong Xuan hastily explained, “Nothing at all! You’re overthinking it again. Please don’t mind me; I’m just too straightforward.”
“Oh? I thought that you were hinting to me that I, with my lack of background and status, am not worthy of him.”
“No way!” She let out a few dry laughs. “That’s never crossed my mind. On the contrary, I think you’re marvelous.”
“Marvelous?”
“I think you should be commended for your courage. After all, you’re really impressive for daring to break the age-old traditions and stay true to your belief in love. I admire you for that.”
Yun Shishi did not comment on it right away. Instead, it was her son who suddenly turned his head and, with a meaningful smile, declared, “Aunt Xuanxuan, I admire you, too.”
The young lady’s heart burst in joy when she heard that. Thinking that the boy was about to sing her praises, she lifted her head elegantly and asked, “Oh? What is it that you admire me for?”
“Your thick skin,” replied the lad while smiling elegantly at her.
“Cough—”
Yun Shishi choked upon hearing her son’s words.
Rong Xuan’s smiling countenance stiffened right away as she gritted her teeth in anger.
“Pardon?”
He continued rattling on nonchalantly. “Isn’t it so? You don’t seem to know your limits and keep clinging onto my parents like a leech. Don’t you find yourself an eyesore?”
The lines on her face hardened as her facial muscles twitched nonstop.
What is this brat saying?!
How dare he call me a leech?!
