Chapter 1716: Moli's Blind Date 2
He glanced at the documents, then said with an air of justification: "Mom, where did you find this vase? She hasn't even finished high school; could we possibly have anything in common?"
The son's words made sense, so this one was also crossed off.
Next.
The next one had a high level of education; she was already a Ph. D.
But Moli was picky, complaining that she was older than him and looked too average, which would affect the next generation.
So, they continued.
This one had high cheekbones; she would bring bad luck to her husband.
Hearing "bad luck to her husband," before Moli could continue, Jian Yixin wouldn't have it.
"Bad luck to her husband won't do, absolutely not."
She took the initiative to eliminate this girl.
But for every girl that followed, Moli could pick out all sorts of different faults; out of a dozen or so photos, not one was suitable, so naturally, there was no need to meet.
He thought his mother would retreat in the face of difficulties, but he still underestimated Jian Yixin's energy.
The next day.
His mother brought out another twenty-plus photos for him to choose from.
Moli was startled and asked: "Where did you get so many photos? You didn't just grab them off the internet, did you? Those people have copyrights; doing that is illegal."
Jian Yixin:...
She chided her son: "Do you think I'm stupid? Do I have nothing better to do than find strangers on the internet to fool you? Is there any point? When has your mother ever done such unreliable things?"
"Son, don't worry. The people Mom found, even if they have small flaws, have absolutely no major problems. They are all people whose backgrounds we know well, and every single one of them is better than that Su Qiangying."
"Look at you, you still care about A-Ying; otherwise, why compare them to her?"
"Pah! I care about her? She and I are irreconcilable."
Whenever Jian Yixin thought of Su Qiangying, she still felt a deep, itching hatred.
Moli immediately put on a cheeky face to coax his mother: "You can just keep hating her in your heart, but are you still going to worry about me?"
"I'll worry, of course I'll worry about my son. I won't hate her anymore; anyway, she has nothing to do with me..."
Moli was smiling on the outside, but crying on the inside.
If his mother had really just found random photos on the internet to fool him, that would mean his mother was only testing his attitude and didn't truly want him to break up with Su; as long as his attitude was clear, it would be fine.
But... that wasn't it; she was playing for real.
Of course, the photos this time wouldn't succeed either; Moli still nitpicked every single one. He didn't take a liking to any of them.
Jian Yixin looked at her son vigilantly and asked: "Moli, tell me the truth, did you not break up with Su Qiangying, and are you doing this on purpose?"
Moli hurriedly denied it: "Of course not. We broke up on my birthday, but think about it, Mom: you introduced me to a girlfriend right after we broke up. If I were to immediately throw myself into the next relationship, wouldn't that be too heartless and disloyal?"
"You have to give me some time; give me time to adjust."
The son's words were reasonable and logical; Jian Yixin thought about it and agreed.
"Fine, I'll give you time, but you must promise that you can no longer have any contact with that woman."
"Don't worry, when have I ever failed to do what I promised you? I guarantee I won't seek her out."
Moli thought to himself, I won't seek her out, but if she seeks me out, or if we have a "chance encounter," that can't count as me going back on my word.
They were both at the same school, in the same department, and although not in the same class, it was too easy to have a "chance encounter."
She didn't see through her son's little schemes; regardless, she was relieved. She agreed to give her son a "window period" to let him adjust his emotions.
After soothing his mother, Moli then had a "chance encounter" with Su Qiangying on campus.
"Move aside, a good dog doesn't block the way." Su Qiangying's tone was unkind, but she was happy inside.
Moli made a big fuss: "Oh my, you're still angry? It's been several days, why hasn't your anger faded yet?"
"What does it have to do with you whether I'm angry or not?"
"Of course it has to do with me; it hurts my heart when you're angry."
The two hadn't been in contact for several days, and Su Qiangying was worried to death, fearing that Moli had really broken up with her.
She was also furious, believing that all of this was Moli's fault, and even swore that even if he came back to find her, she would never pay him any mind.
But when they actually met, just two sentences were enough to make her heart melt with warmth.
Her heart was warm, but her mouth still had to be tough.
She kept a straight face and said: "Classmate Moli, please watch your words, don't be so ambiguous, you scumbag."
Moli: "I'm your boyfriend; isn't it normal for a boyfriend to speak to you ambiguously?"
"Pah! Of course it's not normal; we have already broken up."
These past two days, every time she thought of the word "breakup," it felt as painful as a knife cutting her heart.
But now that she said it herself, the corners of her mouth were upturned, and her face held a smile, as casual as if they were flirting.
Her expression was completely taken in by Moli.
He started to "play the rogue."
"Who agreed to break up? A unilateral breakup doesn't count."
"You agreed."
"I didn't agree, you have no proof."
Su Qiangying:...
"Playing the rogue, pah! Shameless!"
"Don't be angry anymore. You don't know how much pressure I've been under these past two days. My mom forced us to break up and even found photos of many girls for me to look at. I sent them all away; I only have you in my heart..."
Moli's words made Su Qiangying both happy and worried.
She was happy that Moli only had her in his heart and eyes, and worried that Jian Yixin would continue to introduce other girls to Moli, so she stopped putting on airs, and after Moli coaxed her, the two made up.
Jian Yixin's right eyelid kept twitching incessantly.
She put down the documents, frowned, and thought for a while.
She felt uneasy; she knew what her son was like, as he had been good at fooling her since he was small. His repeated excuses regarding the blind date this time, followed by such a prompt breakup, might not be genuine.
She wanted to go to Moli's school to take a look and get to the bottom of it, but before she could go, Gu Zhihao came to find her.
Last time, Shi Yuke went out happily and returned home sobbing.
After arriving home, she just cried, crying non-stop.
She stopped doing any housework and just lay in the room, "ying ying ying," "ying ying ying," blaming herself while she cried.
"It's all my fault. I was blinded by lard, possessed by a ghost; I had already promised years ago, yet I broke my vow."
"Why did I go to celebrate someone's birthday? I can't even remember their birthday."
"My hypocrisy makes even me feel ashamed..."
Gu Zhihao was listening outside the window and sighed.
His ears had already developed calluses from hearing such words; in fact, it was no solution for his wife to always blame herself like this.
He walked into the room and said to his wife, "Stop crying, you're breaking my heart. Sheng Moli doesn't even know you're crying like this; he might even still be blaming you right now."
"Sob sob sob..."
Shi Yuke cried even louder.
