Chapter 64 A dispute
After coming out of Mo’s Mansion, Chen Qian went back home distractedly.
She heard the talking of a group of women in the house and then the sound of playing mahjong.
She was accustomed to it because Li Qinglan was so addicted to gambling and played mahjong every day.
Chen Qian walked in and saw that Li Qinglan who wore Chen Qian’s new coat talked with other players with pride.
Seeing that Chen Qian came back, Li Qinglan attracted everyone’s attention to Chen Qian quickly and said, “Look! Speak of the devil. Our Mrs. Mo is back.”
Everyone played mahjong absent-mindedly and in fact, they wanted to see whether Chen Qian would really marry into Mo’s family as Li Qinglan boasted.
Seeing that Li Qinglan was boasting her marriage, Chen Qian managed a weak smile because she couldn’t tell others that she would marry into Mo’s family to be a stepmother.
“Don’t make fun of me. Hope you have a good time.” Chen Qian waved her hand and tipped Li Qinglan a wink.
Li Qinglan clearly saw that Chen Qian was unhappy now and thought, “Aren’t things going well?”
“Does Mo’s family really decide to break off the engagement?”
Li Qinglan wasn’t interested in playing mahjong anymore, so she smiled embarrassedly and then pretended to be bored and said, “Okay, okay. We have played for so long today. Let’s play next time.”
Hearing Li Qinglan’s words, other players understood and glanced at each other, and then left one after another.
There were only Chen Qian and Li Qinglan in the living room, so Chen Qian could no longer pretend to be happy and sat on the sofa without expression.
“Qianqian, what’s wrong? Has Li Yunhong really decided not to let you marry Mo Yichen?”
Li Qinglan frowned and held Chen Qian’s hands nervously.
“Mom, Mo Yichen has a child.”
Chen Qian said calmly.
Hearing that, Li Qinglan was shocked and raised her voice, “What do you mean? It’s impossible!”
“You also feel very astonished, but it is true. I thought he just used that excuse to refuse me, but now it seems…”
Chen Qian didn’t want to talk about it and didn’t know whether she should marry into Mo’s family to be a stepmother.
Apparently, Li Qinglan knew what Chen Qian was thinking. She waved hand and said decisively, “In this case, you should not persist in marrying him. Your father and I will never allow you to marry him.”
“Why?” Hearing this, Chen Qian retorted quickly. In fact, she was willing to marry into Mo’s family in her heart.
“Why? Don’t you know the reason? You are a slim and graceful girl, but now you should marry into Mo’s family to be a stepmother. We will lose our face if it is known by others. You should think about it…”
“Stop.”
Chen Qian interrupted Li Qinglan. She knew the meaning of Li Qinglan’s words, but she just didn’t want to admit and face it.
“Mom, I understand what you said, but I believe the affection between Mo Yichen and me. He just wants to make use of that child to prevent Li Yunhong from forcing him to get married but nobody can destroy the affection between us.”
Thinking that nobody was so intimated with Mo Yichen except her, Chen Qian felt that she was unique in Mo Yichen’s heart.
“Well, I can’t persuade you. I will call your father.”
Li Qinglan called Chen Qian’s father.
Looking at her mother’s back, Chen Qian could feel that her father who was on the phone was also very angry.
Chen Qian said nothing before her father was back. She knew it was absurd for her to insist on marrying into Mo’s family to be a stepmother. After all, she was a public figure, so this would be a scandal for her, which perhaps had a negative impact on her acting career.
“Splat.” Chen Qian’s father who usually came back in half an hour rushed back only in fifteen minutes today.
“What’s all this about? What do Mo’s family think of? Our Chen’s family has only one daughter and she can’t be a stepmother.”
Chen Qian heard her father’s voice first.
Chen Qian who was stubborn sat on the sofa, lowering her head and biting her lips.
“Dad, mom, don’t persuade me. I know your meaning, but I really don’t want to give up this time.” Chen Qian said firmly.
“No, you can’t marry Mo Yichen. You are a public figure. Don’t you know what effects it would have on you and on our family? Is Mo Yichen the only excellent man in the world?”
Chen Qian’s father became more and more angry. He was keen on face-saving. In the past, many people treated him friendly because they thought that Chen Qian would marry Mo Yichen. This satisfied his vanity, so he didn’t interfere in their marriage. But now…
“Dad, Mom, if you don’t allow me to marry Mo Yichen, I will not get married in this life.”
Ignoring her parents’ surprise and disappointment, Chen Qian rushed out of the house. And then the house was quiet again.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that the couple looked at each other in despair.
“I just reminded you on the phone that you should calm down. What should we do now?” Li Qinglan complained.
“When does Mo Yichen have a child? Why is there no message in the business circle?” Chen Qian’s father asked.
“I don’t know, and it is said that the child’s mother has passed away. Nobody knows the details, but it seems that Li Yunhong is not joking.”
Thinking Chen Qian’s emotion just now, Li Qinglan made a concession.
“Well, let Qianqian marry Mo Yichen, which may not be so bad as we imagine.” Li Qinglan looked at her husband hopefully.
“You are silly as well. Others may think that nobody wants to marry Qianqian.” Chen Qian’s father said.
…
The couple argued for a while, but undoubtedly, they would finally agree that Chen Qian marred into Mo’s family to be a stepmother.
Chen Qian wouldn’t live as comfortably as before, but perhaps in her heart, it was worthwhile marrying Mo Yichen
