Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1452 The Brave Chen Shuwan
Jessica Jung's smile made the two sisters feel uneasy.

Jessica Jung smiled and said, "Although the method you used was not appropriate, it was to help me after all, and it did help me, so let's let it go this time."

The two sisters breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Xu Xiuwen was relieved.

However, the next second, Jessica Jung said, "But, can you tell me first, which of you two was in a relationship?"

Her gaze swept over Xu Xiuwen.

This clearly refers to Xu Xiuwen.

The two sisters fell silent.

Although Jessica Jung still had a smile on her face, no one knew whether she would get angry in the next second.

Chen Shumi was very worried that once she admitted it, her mother would force her to break up with Xu Xiuwen.

Because most parents would probably not agree to their children dating before a major exam.

Jessica Jung wasn't very strict with the two of them before, but no one could guarantee what she might do.

Chen Shuwan was worried that her mother would blame her for not telling her sooner if she found out that her younger sister was dating.

Simultaneously.

She was also worried that her mother would blame her younger sister.

For a long time, gentleness and fragility have been synonymous with Chen Shuwan.

Her younger sister, however, was much more 'fiery and formidable' than her.

The reason for the stark difference in the sisters' personalities stemmed from a single instance of "bullying".

At that time, Chen Shumi, the younger sister, took the initiative to protect her older sister, while she took the opportunity to hide behind her younger sister.

From then on, whenever something happened, it was always her younger sister who stepped forward, while she always hid behind her sister.

Over time, their personalities began to diverge.

Her younger sister has always been the one to protect her.

This time, Chen Shuwan also wanted to protect her younger sister.

therefore.

Before her younger sister could speak, Chen Shuwan said first, "Mom, it's...it's because I'm in a relationship."

Xu Xiuwen raised an eyebrow, seemingly quite surprised by what Chen Shuwan said.

Let's look at Chen Shumi again.

She was utterly shocked.

What exactly is my sister saying?
She's the one who's having a puppy love, how could it be her older sister?

Perhaps it's the telepathic connection between twin sisters.

In less than 5 seconds, Chen Shumi quickly guessed her sister's purpose in doing so.

She couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Their feelings are more genuine than diamonds, no matter what.

But she really wanted to say something to her sister.

That is: It's unnecessary!

Chen Shumi believes that she is the one who started dating too early.

Even if her mother finds out and is furious, she should endure it.

Ever since her sister found out about her relationship, she has kept it a secret.

She couldn't drag her sister down with her.

Chen Shumi is now in a dilemma.

If she doesn't explain and simply accepts her sister's statement, it's unfair to her sister.

But if she explained.

What will Jessica Jung think?
Mom will definitely feel that neither of them respects her.

Mom will only get angrier.

Her mother might not have approved of her dating early in the first place, and now that she's angry, she's more likely to force her to break up.

Things seemed to have become complicated because Chen Shuwan acted on her own initiative.

But Chen Shumi couldn't blame her sister.

After much hesitation, Chen Shumi ultimately chose to remain silent.

Her actions surprised Xu Xiuwen even more.

However, his reaction was also quick.

Now that the two sisters have done this, all he needs to do is cooperate with them and keep up the act.

Xu Xiuwen remained silent for the time being.

Jessica Jung originally thought that the person she was dating was her youngest daughter, Chen Shumi.

She never expected it would be her eldest daughter, Chen Shuwan.

This is not because she has a prejudice against Chen Shumi.

Rather, it's because Chen Shuwan had performed too well before.

Her eldest daughter never caused her any trouble.

in contrast.

The eldest daughter also always helps her with various household chores.

The eldest daughter has consistently outperformed the other daughter academically.

Therefore, Jessica Jung never imagined that her most obedient daughter would be in a relationship.

At this moment, Jessica Jung suddenly realized that the two sisters had always had a good relationship, and Chen Shuwan might have been worried that she would be angry, so she took the blame upon herself.

So Jessica asked again, "Wan'er, are you sure you're in a relationship?"

Upon hearing Jessica Jung's question, Chen Shuwan was immediately thrown into a state of panic.

Why did Mom ask again?
Was there a flaw in what she said?
Or did her expression betray her?

Chen Shuwan couldn't guess.

She was starting to regret taking the initiative to assume responsibility.

Because she is really bad at lying.

Words spoken cannot be taken back.

At this point, Chen Shuwan denied it again, shifting the blame to her younger sister.

Of course, you can't do that.

However, the younger sister might suffer more of her mother's anger.

Chen Shuwan recalled the previous times she had met and spent time with Xu Xiuwen under the guise of being his sister.

She owes her sister a debt.

Consider this a way of paying off a debt.

Chen Shuwan forced herself to say, "Mom, it's me."

Jessica Jung knows that Chen Shuwan wouldn't lie.

The latter has never told a single lie from childhood to adulthood.

Therefore, despite her lingering doubts, she had no choice but to believe that the person she was dating was her eldest daughter.

If Chen Shumi were to fall in love, Jessica Jung would definitely make her youngest daughter break up with her immediately without hesitation.

But when the object of affection became Chen Shuwan.

Jessica Jung is confused.

She suddenly didn't know what to do.

Although she knew that if she made her eldest daughter break up with her boyfriend, the latter would definitely listen to her.

But this would also hurt the eldest daughter.

Jessica Jung couldn't bear it.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally came to a decision.

Chen Shuwan is always reliable in her work.

She probably doesn't like just anyone.

The person she likes must be very outstanding.

Jessica Jung thought to herself: I might as well get to know my eldest daughter's boyfriend first.

Jessica Jung stared at Chen Shuwan.

The latter was very flustered.

Chen Shuwan is prepared to be scolded by Jessica Jung.

Jessica Jung did not do that.

She seemed relatively calm.

Jessica Jung suddenly turned to look at Hsu Hsiu-wen.

She carefully examined the tall boy in front of her.

Because of the meal, Xu Xiuwen had already taken off two of the three pieces of the celebrity outfit.

These are sunglasses and a face mask.

He was also wearing a baseball cap at the time.

Hsu Hsiu-wen's good looks are beyond doubt.

Even a woman of Jessica Jung's age couldn't help but take a second look.

She suddenly remembered the scene of Xu Xiuwen pretending to be her boyfriend.

Although he looked inexperienced, he seemed reliable at that moment.

In other words, he exuded a strong masculine charm at the time.

This boy is definitely not an ordinary boy.

Moreover, Jessica Jung knows that her daughter's standards are not too low.

If he were just handsome, Chen Shuwan might not necessarily be with him.

Therefore, he must have other advantages or strengths.

Jessica Jung asked, "Are you my daughter's boyfriend?"

Xu Xiuwen hummed in agreement. The daughter Zheng Xiuyan was referring to was clearly Chen Shuwan.

But Xu Xiuwen understood Chen Shumi.

So he didn't really lie to Jessica Jung.

Jessica Jung then asked, "How old are you to be dating?"

Xu Xiuwen answered honestly, "I am 21 years old this year."

He said he was a year older than he actually was.

Upon hearing his age, Jessica Jung exclaimed in surprise, "You're already 21? Then aren't you a student?"

Xu Xiuwen shook his head, "I'm in college now."

Jessica Jung frowned. "Which university?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "Jiangling Academy."

Jessica Jung frowned even more. "Jiangling Academy... I've never heard of it?"

Chen Shumi was worried that Zheng Xiuyan's words would upset Xu Xiuwen.

So she quickly explained, "Mom, it's an affiliated college of Jiaotong University."

After hearing what her youngest daughter said, Jessica Jung remembered.

She also remembered that the school was an ordinary third-tier university.

When a student from a third-tier university started dating her daughter, Jessica Jung's immediate thought was: They're not a good match!

In Jessica Jung's view, both of her daughters will attend at least a 211 university, or even a top-tier university like Tsinghua or Peking University.

One is a top-tier university, and the other is a third-tier university.

How can this be appropriate?

Jessica Jung asked coldly, "How did you meet my daughter?"

Chen Shumi quickly explained, "Mom, Brother Wen is Keke's tutor..."

Jessica Jung suddenly turned to Chen Shumi and said, "Shut up! I want to hear what he has to say!"

Chen Shumi was stunned on the spot.

My mother has never spoken to them in this tone before.

Jessica Jung ignored her youngest daughter's feelings.

She turned to Xu Xiuwen and asked sternly, "How did you meet my daughter?"

Xu Xiuwen first gave Chen Shumi a reassuring look.
He then recounted how he met the two women.

This includes the matter of Li Haiming asking him to be Li Ke's tutor.

After learning that Xu Xiuwen and his daughter knew each other because of Li Ke, and that Xu Xiuwen was also Li Ke's tutor.

Jessica Jung has worked in the hospital for many years and has seen many cases of private tutors getting female students pregnant.

Therefore, she subconsciously thought that Xu Xiuwen was a male tutor with ill intentions.

However, when she heard that it was Li Haiming who asked him to tutor Li Ke, she changed her mind.

As the mother of the two sisters, she naturally knew Li Ke and also knew who Li Ke's mother was.

Xu Xiuwen might be able to deceive Li Ke with his good looks and sweet talk.

But he could never fool someone as capable as Li Haiming.

Li Haiming asked him to be Li Ke's tutor.

This shows that he must have some extraordinary abilities.

This also shows that he is a reliable person.

She didn't believe that Lai Hoi Mei would let her daughter associate with an unreliable person.

Jessica Jung asked, "How do I know if you're telling the truth or not?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "If you don't believe me, you can call Li Ke now, or call Mei—Li SZ."

He almost said "Mei'er's wife".

Xu Xiuwen thought to himself: He's used to being a smooth talker, but he's likely to cause trouble when it really matters.

Jessica Jung said, "I don't have Li SZ's phone number, how am I supposed to know if you're lying to me?"

Xu Xiuwen thought to himself: You're quite suspicious.

However, Jessica Jung's reaction was a normal one for a mother upon learning that her daughter was in a relationship.

So he wasn't angry.

Xu Xiuwen took out his phone, quickly found Li Haiming's phone number, and then showed it to the woman.

He said, "This number is Li SZ's number. If you don't believe me, you can call it."

Jessica Jung stared at the string of numbers on her phone, but ultimately decided not to call.

Because Xu Xiuwen's gaze was too calm.

This is not how a liar should behave.

At this point, Jessica Jung almost believed Hsu Hsiu-wen.

She then asked, "If you're going to be a tutor, then do it properly. Who gave you the right to lure little girls into dating?"

Xu Xiuwen fell silent.

Chen Shumi was a little anxious and wanted to explain.

Chen Shuwan, standing to the side, was even faster than her.

Chen Shuwan said, "Mom, blame me if you want. I was the one who pursued Brother Wen. He didn't seduce me..."

Jessica Jung didn't say anything, she just glared at Chen Shuwan.

Chen Shuwan immediately fell silent.

Upon witnessing this, Xu Xiuwen confessed.

“You are Wan’er’s mother, so I’ll call you Auntie… Aunt Zheng, I’m not a bad person, and I didn’t kidnap anyone. Wan’er and I got together because we like each other.”

Upon hearing Xu Xiuwen's words, Zheng Xiuyan showed no outward change.

In truth, she had come to appreciate Xu Xiuwen more.

At least this boy has some courage and is willing to take responsibility, instead of leaving everything to Chen Shuwan.

Jessica Jung has seen far too many young boys who are afraid to take responsibility.

In this respect, Xu Xiuwen is much better than those people.

Jessica Jung scoffed, "Mutual liking? How old are you? What do you know about liking someone?"

Xu Xiuwen frowned.

He thought Jessica Jung was strange.

I don't really feel angry, but it's a bit awkward to say I'm not angry either.

Xu Xiuwen thought for a moment.

He did not choose to follow Jessica Jung's lead.

He decided to express a different opinion.

“Aunt Zheng, liking someone has nothing to do with age. It’s not that older people understand liking more. On the contrary, many older people gradually lose the ability to like someone, while it is young people who understand what liking someone means…”

Jessica Jung scoffed, "I don't need you to teach me!"

There was a pause.

She continued, "Have you considered that Wan'er is still in school? Dating her now is hindering her progress. What if it affects her grades?"

Xu Xiuwen immediately said, "Who says dating will necessarily affect grades? At least Wan'er's grades have improved this time..."

Jessica Jung was speechless.

After some communication, Jessica Jung was actually quite satisfied with Hsu Hsiu-wen.

Putting everything else aside, just look at how he remains calm and composed when facing himself, speaking without haste or impatience.

Many boys can't do that.

Jessica Jung stared at Hsu Hsiu-wen.

Xu Xiuwen did not avoid him, but met his gaze.

The two sisters were afraid that the two of them would start arguing when they saw this.

This process lasted for about ten seconds.

Jessica Jung suddenly looked away and said, "Actually, I don't necessarily have to stop you two from dating... As long as you don't do anything you shouldn't, don't affect Wan'er's grades, and don't be too ostentatious, I can turn a blind eye. If Wan'er goes to university and still decides to be with you, I won't stop her then..."

Jessica Jung's words surprised all three of them.

Her attitude had changed almost 180 degrees from before.

Chen Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Shumi was filled with frustration.

She should have admitted that she was dating Xu Xiuwen.

That way, she can be with Xu Xiuwen openly and honestly from now on.

What Chen Shumi didn't know was that if she admitted to being in a relationship...

It's highly likely that Jessica Jung won't agree to her being with Hsu Hsiu-wen.

Because in Jessica Jung's view, she has not grown up yet and is not mature and sensible enough.

In contrast, Chen Shuwan...

Jessica Jung believes that she understands reason, knows what is right and wrong, and would never act recklessly.

This is based on my understanding of the two of them.

Back to the topic.

Xu Xiuwen was also surprised when he heard what Zheng Xiuyan said.

He quickly realized something and nodded, saying, "Aunt Zheng, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who acts recklessly. I know what I should and shouldn't do..."

In fact, Xu Xiuwen and Chen Shumi have already done everything.

Yet he said such things without batting an eye.

Jessica Jung felt slightly relieved upon hearing this.

She thought for a moment and asked, "How did you get here?"

Chen Shuwan said, "Mom, Brother Wen invited us to eat here."
