Chapter 1711: Loving Humbly, Without Bottom Lines

The moment his girlfriend opened her mouth, Moli knew things had gone wrong.

The two of them were bound to have a falling out; he wanted to interject to ease the atmosphere, but he couldn't get a word in, and could only watch helplessly as the two of them clashed, bringing the conversation to a dead end!

"Fine, fine, fine!"

Jian Yixin said the word "fine" three times in a row, then stood up and left.

She was so angry her lips were trembling and her face was livid; she didn't even glance at her son as she passed him!

Moli knew that things had escalated!

But Su Qiangying didn't realize it yet; she had vented her spite and felt quite satisfied.

Seeing Jian Yixin leave, she said loudly, "Take care, I won't see you out."

"You, can't you be a mute for once?"

Moli pointed a finger at his girlfriend and hurried out after her.

"Mom, Mom, walk slower, wait for me."

"Don't call me Mom; the one in the room is your mother," Jian Yixin said in a huff.

Moli put on a fawning smile: "Look at what you're saying, that's a generation gap. You are the elder, she is the younger and doesn't know any better, please don't hold it against her..."

As the mother and son spoke, they went downstairs, and Jian Yixin said: "She just had a miscarriage surgery, I can understand a patient being anxious, and I'm not arguing with her because I'm afraid of her, but because I'm yielding to her, but I can't yield to her forever."

"Just like what was said upstairs, ask her in a couple of days; if she still has this mindset, you two had better break up early. Our family cannot have a daughter-in-law with such a stubborn backbone."

"We haven't even gotten anywhere yet, and she's already drawing such clear lines with me. If you two really get married, wouldn't you be completely controlled by her?"

To make his mother happy, Moli chose to say what she wanted to hear: "That won't happen, A-Ying isn't usually like this. You were right just now, patients are anxious, that's why she was talking nonsense; she regretted it as soon as she said it..."

He managed to coax his mother into the car and watched her leave, only then letting out a sigh of relief.

But he didn't dare to relax too much, and hurriedly went back upstairs to coax his girlfriend!

By smoothing things over on both sides like mortar, he finally managed to resolve the conflict.

After Jian Yixin returned, she still felt deeply troubled by Su Qiangying's words.

Having no one else to confide in, she went to the Sheng Family to vent to Shi Youxuan!

As luck would have it, Shi Youxuan had a guest, Bai Manman.

Bai Manman had hit countless walls with Zirui, and even her own parents didn't support her, yet she still wouldn't give up and went to the Sheng Family to curry favor with her future mother-in-law.

The Bai family was in the luxury food business, and she had brought many precious tonics like top-grade sea cucumber and bird's nest from home.

When Shi Youxuan saw her, she knew why she had come, but she still had to be polite.

"You child, why bring so many things? We have everything at home. Take these things back when you leave; I've accepted your intentions."

Since she had sent them, she certainly wouldn't take them back. Bai Manman said: "These aren't worth much. You can't buy such quality on the market; these are all this year's new arrivals, please don't be so formal."

Shi Youxuan's heart twitched.

Top-grade Blood Bird's Nest, sea cucumber, and premium shark fin.

Yet she sent a whole pile as if they were agricultural products.

And this wasn't worth much?

Even if the family was wealthy, one couldn't squander like this.

But her biggest headache was how to return the favor.

If she didn't accept, it wouldn't be appropriate.

If she did accept, she would have to give a return gift.

Accepting such a heavy gift from someone naturally required a precious gift in return, which would mean giving designer bags or watches, and doing so would be interpreted as being very satisfied with Bai Manman.

Calling off the engagement would be even harder to talk about then.

Thinking quickly, Shi Youxuan suddenly had an idea.

She said to Bai Manman: "Normally, I shouldn't refuse your kindness, but Zirui called yesterday and said there's pollution in the sea recently, telling us not to eat this year's sea cucumber or shark fin..."

Bai Manman hurriedly explained: "Those are all rumors, they aren't true."

"Right, I also said they were rumors, but Zirui believed them and even called specifically to tell us. What do you suggest we do?"

Bai Manman said: "Then I'll take these back, and you keep the bird's nest, is that okay?"

Not accepting anything at all wasn't good, but only accepting the bird's nest made the gift much lighter.

So Shi Youxuan agreed.

Bai Manman didn't just come to the Sheng Family to give gifts, she also wanted to find work to do, but there were servants in the house, so what work could there be?

Shi Youxuan knew she wanted to show off, so she told her not to busy herself and to sit down and chat with her.

The only topic they had in common was Zirui.

Because Zirui ignored her, Bai Manman started crying again, crying until Shi Youxuan's head ached.

Shi Youxuan advised: "Manman, you are a good child, but you are still young, don't be so stubborn. There are plenty of good boys, and many people more outstanding than Zirui..."

Before she could finish, Bai Manman's tears came down in a rush.

Bai Manman shook her head like a rattle, tears streaming down: "I can't, I won't break up. Auntie, you can't urge me to break up. I am Zirui's person in life, and I will be his ghost in death!"

"Besides, you have already accepted me. Look at this, the token of a Sheng Family daughter-in-law!"

She held out the Gold Inlaid Jade Bracelet on her wrist for Shi Youxuan to see, and Shi Youxuan's head ached even more.

That's right, she was the one who gave the Jade Bracelet.

At the time, she had a sudden whim and went to a jewelry store to order a few Gold-Inlaid Jade bracelets, intending to give one to each of her future daughters-in-law, but she hadn't expected to give them out too early.

Plans couldn't keep up with changes, and she hadn't expected things to end up like this.

Bai Manman was indeed not suitable for Zirui. At the time, she just thought that if Qi Shishi wouldn't work, anyone else would do, but not just anyone would do.

A "love-struck brain" really doesn't work.

Shi Youxuan tried to persuade her: "Child, objects are inanimate, but people are living."

"No!"

Bai Manman said decisively, "No matter what you say, I will not agree to break off the engagement. If you push me too far, I will die right in front of you."

She suddenly took a fruit knife out of her bag and was about to stab herself with it!

Shi Youxuan was terrified and hurriedly reached out to snatch it away!

If someone else had made this move, it might have been a bluff, but Bai Manman was definitely for real; she meant what she said, as this girl was just incredibly stubborn.

First, calm her down so she doesn't do anything foolish, and deal with future matters later.

But Bai Manman's movement was too violent, and she slashed Shi Youxuan's hand, causing blood to drip onto her clothes.

She panicked, the knife in her hand fell to the floor, and it was immediately picked up by a servant.

"I'm sorry, Auntie, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, I'm sorry..."

She apologized hurriedly, panicked and incoherent.

"Let's go to the hospital, I'll call 120."

"No need."

Shi Youxuan stopped her, "No need to go to the hospital, bring the medical kit over, just bandaging it will be fine."

The wound was not deep, it was just a scratch; it looked scary but in reality, it only broke the skin.

The servant brought the medical kit, and Bai Manman helped bandage the wound herself, apologizing as she did so.

Shi Youxuan indicated that she was fine and told her not to do such foolish things in the future!
