Chapter 276: I Do Not Agree With Your Relationship

That girl was none other than Bai Mo.

Jiang Cheng followed the direction of her finger and looked; who else could it be but his own unlucky son?

Only eighteen this year, and he already knows how to go after the cabbage; this pig needs to be disciplined.

He was about to step forward when Si Rong grabbed him by the arm.

"Children at this age have a very strong sense of pride," she said, suppressing the urge to go over, "it's better to wait until we get home and talk to him privately!"

"You always consider things so thoroughly," a scent of grilled skewers drifted over, and Jiang Cheng couldn't help but cough twice.

Si Rong patted his back a few times and pointed to a shaved ice stall not far away, "Let's go sit over there for a while."

"Did you drink the Glehnia and Solomon's Seal water I brewed for you today?"

Jiang Cheng nodded, "I finished it, I'm fine, maybe a gust of wind just caught me."

Si Rong took a mask out of her pocket and put it on him, "You forget every time."

"Old companion, you are so good to me," Jiang Cheng said, moved.

Si Rong curled her lip; what kind of terrible term of endearment was that? It was ancient.

Yet, it also carried a very warm sense of romance.

"If we hadn't caught them red-handed on the spot, what would we have done if that brat denied it when we got home?"

Jiang Cheng understood his son; his personality and temper weren't like his, but rather like his second uncle, Jiang Yu.

"Then we will just follow them from a distance."

Since they had already found their way here, there was no reason to go home now and let their imaginations run wild.

Next, they saw the two young people go to eat ice cream.

Seeing the two of them each eating one, the heart that Si Rong had been holding in her throat finally settled.

Young people today are completely different from when they were dating; last time she saw a young couple on the street sharing a single ice cream, and as they ate, they even...

She was too embarrassed to even think about it, but when she turned her head, an ice cream appeared in Jiang Cheng's hand.

Si Rong:...

This old codger, he couldn't possibly want to eat ice cream with her, could he?

"Here, I saw you staring at it for a long time, eat it."

"But you can't eat it," Si Rong said, "otherwise you'll be coughing at night."

Jiang Cheng nodded, "Mm, I won't eat it, I'll just watch you eat."

Si Rong tentatively took a bite; it was very cold, very sweet, and the taste was indeed quite good.

Unfortunately, because of this ice cream, they lost track of the two children.

"It's all my fault," Jiang Cheng admitted his mistake skillfully.

He had always been very self-aware regarding his status in the family.

"Let's go home!" Si Rong had to sigh once again; they were truly old, even without eating this ice cream, they probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with the pace of the young people.

Indeed, by the time they got home, Jiang Sinian had already returned.

He was sitting in the living room watching television.

Seeing them, he looked playful, "It's late at night, where have you two been?"

Si Rong:...

She went straight to the point, "We took a trip to Zhangshu Street."

"And what did you do there?" Jiang Sinian blinked his eyes.

"Ate ice cream," Jiang Cheng answered for his wife.

Jiang Sinian nodded, "Not bad, you two are quite romantic, I ate ice cream too."

"With whom?"

"Bai Mo."

Jiang Siyu looked down into the living room from the second floor, holding Xiao Bai in her arms, and whispered, "Let's not go down there; the city gate is about to catch fire, don't let it implicate us two little fish!"

"Are you two dating?" Seeing her son so honest, Si Rong calmed her own emotions.

Jiang Sinian admitted it generously, "Yes, but Mom, you don't need to worry, I won't let this affect my studies; Bai Mo and I have agreed to apply to the same university."

"I do not agree with your relationship with her."

Si Rong asked herself, although she was a bit older, she was not exactly close-minded.

For children's puppy love, guidance is the best policy; blocking is the worst.

She understood the logic, but if Jiang Sinian had chosen anyone else to date, she wouldn't have reacted so intensely.

"Why?" Jiang Sinian was puzzled.

Si Rong thought for a moment and decided to explain things clearly to him.

"Sinian, Mom knows that although your personality is carefree, you are actually very perceptive. You should know about the past between Mom and Aunt Li Xuan. Shen Chi and Shen Yuan hate Mom to the bone, and Bai Mo is Shen Chi's biological daughter; that is the reason Mom disagrees."

"But that is the grudge of you adults," Jiang Sinian understood the logic, but he still couldn't agree with his mother's thinking, "Bai Mo grew up with her adoptive parents, and you should also acknowledge the character of her parents. I truly like Bai Mo."

He would not break up with Bai Mo for such an absurd reason.

"But the blood flowing in her bones is the same as Shen Chi's," Si Rong said earnestly, "one day, perhaps she will..."

"That is your business, it has nothing to do with our generation," Jiang Sinian interrupted her, "Mom, I have decided on Bai Mo for this life."

Si Rong let out a long sigh.

At this moment, the image of herself when she was young, insisting on marrying Shen Lan, appeared in her mind.

At that time, she was just like her son, believing that marriage was only about love and had nothing to do with family or the future.

At that time, her father and mother must have been just like her now, clearly seeing how painful her path of love would be, yet feeling powerless to do anything.

She waved her hand, "You are already eighteen years old this year. Since you are determined to choose her, I hope you won't regret it, but I also have my own choice. I do not accept this daughter-in-law; there is no need to bring her home in the future."

Jiang Sinian, in shock and confusion, asked, "Are you really going to discard me, your son, for the sake of a grudge from your youth?"

"You can come back; this is still your home."

Si Rong turned and went upstairs.

Jiang Cheng stayed behind to chat with his son for a while longer, emphasizing how Shen Chi and his mother had harmed Si Rong back then.

"But Bai Mo is different from her family," Jiang Sinian insisted, repeating the same line, "I believe she will never become like that."

"Then do as your mother said," Jiang Cheng nodded with understanding, "You can choose to believe for the sake of your love, but you cannot force all of us to believe for your sake."

This conversation ended on a sour note.

Jiang Sinian knew his mother had lived a very difficult life, and the son and daughter born to Li Xuan were not good people either; otherwise, they wouldn't have drugged Bai Mo.

Wait, drugging?

Weren't Shen Chi and his sister supposed to go for a paternity test? The drug that day was targeted at Bai Mo.

He couldn't help but think of his mother's attitude again; if Bai Mo were to be acknowledged by Shen Chi, could they still be together?

The paternity test results were out.

After receiving them, Shen Chi was very agitated; he thought for a moment and handed the results to his younger sister, "You look first."

After taking them, Shen Yuan quickly tore open the kraft paper envelope.
