Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1453 Sister, don't you have anything to explain?

Upon hearing Chen Shuwan's words, Jessica Jung's mind stirred.

Although it was her first time at this Western restaurant, she could read the English menu and had already seen the prices on it.

This Western restaurant is quite expensive and not something that the average person can afford.

Xu Xiuwen not only has the means to afford his own expenses, but he can also freely entertain guests.

This is enough to show that his family is well-off.

Some mothers-in-law, when they first meet their daughter's boyfriend, will ask all sorts of questions, wanting to know everything about the man's ancestors.

Jessica Jung thinks that doing that is low.

So she won't do that.

Although she still had many questions in her mind, she did not confront Xu Xiuwen directly.

She decided to ask her daughter herself when she got back.

As for now.

She planned to observe Xu Xiuwen first.

Jessica Jung asked softly, "Have you eaten yet?"

Chen Shuwan nodded, "Mom, we just finished eating."

Jessica Jung nodded in agreement, saying, "Then let's go."

"Wait a moment!"

Xu Xiuwen called out to Zheng Xiuyan.

The two sisters naturally wouldn't disobey Jessica Jung's words.

Anyway, they've almost finished eating, so it's fine for them to leave now.

So when they heard Xu Xiuwen's words, both women looked at him with suspicion.

Jessica Jung was equally confused.

Under the gazes of the three people, Xu Xiuwen calmly said, "Aunt Zheng, Qian Dahui already paid for your meal. Why don't you finish eating before you leave? Otherwise, it would be a waste."

Jessica Jung was taken aback by what she heard.

She remembered that Xu Xiuwen had just asked Qian Dahui to pay the bill.

However, her attention was focused on Xu Xiuwen at the time, so she didn't know whether Qian Dahui had paid the bill or not.

She asked, "Did that person pay the bill?"

Xu Xiuwen laughed, "I was focused on Aunt Zheng at the time, so I didn't notice, but we can call the waiter over and ask."

Hearing Xu Xiuwen say that his attention was focused on himself at the time.

Jessica Jung's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

She recalled what Xu Xiuwen had said when he was pretending to be her boyfriend.

Jessica Jung had never considered dating a gigolo before, but Hsu Hsiu-wen's words inspired her.

She thought to herself: At her age, finding a younger man seems like a good idea.

Firstly, the young and energetic man can provide her with ample emotional value;
Secondly, when she wants to end the relationship, the young man is unlikely to pester her.

As for finding a long-term, stable marital relationship.

Jessica Jung didn't have high expectations to begin with.

After the blind date she just went through, she had no expectations of men her age anymore.

Both men and women are more innocent and have purer feelings when they are young.

The older a person gets, the greater their needs, the bigger their appetite, and the more ideas they have.

Jessica Jung believes that finding a younger man is better than getting married, and there is actually another very important reason for that.

That is, if she chooses to get married, she can certainly have another child at her age.

What should she do if the other party asks her to have a child?
If she disagrees, not only will she seem unreasonable, but the marriage will also be difficult to maintain.

But if she agrees, what will happen to her two daughters?

But you don't have that concern when dating a gigolo.

Anyway, she won't have children with that pretty boy.

It has to be said that Hsu Hsiu-wen's words opened a window of opportunity for Jessica Jung.

It made her realize that there are other choices in life.

Back to the topic.

Xu Xiuwen was unaware of the profound impact his actions had on Zheng Xiuyan.

He called over the waiter and asked if Qian Dahui, who had just left, had paid the bill.

After being told there wasn't any, Xu Xiuwen smiled speechlessly.

He really is a stingy man!
Chen Shuwan and Chen Shumi were both speechless.

Xu Xiuwen said, "Although that person didn't pay, the bill can't be refunded. It's a bit of a waste to leave right away. Why don't you stay for a meal, Auntie? Let Wan'er and Mi'er keep you company. As for me..."

He paused for a moment after saying this.

"I'll go back first."

Hearing that he was leaving, the two sisters immediately tensed up.

Jessica Jung frowned slightly.

She hadn't had a chance to observe Xu Xiuwen closely yet, so naturally she didn't want him to leave so soon.

Jessica Jung thought for a moment and said, "You should stay too."

Xu Xiuwen was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Alright then."

Xu Xiuwen had no intention of leaving.

He just said that on purpose.

Soon the waiters started serving the dishes.

Jessica Jung and Qian Dahui ordered the exact same food they had just ordered, which is one of the restaurant's signature dishes.

The waiter placed the plate containing the steak in front of Xu Xiuwen first.

Xu Xiuwen picked up his knife and fork and began cutting the steak.

He quickly cut the steak on the plate into small, even pieces.

This size is just right for eating, and it's also the best for the taste.

Xu Xiuwen pushed the cut steak in front of Zheng Xiuyan.

Jessica Jung, who was chatting with her daughter, caught a glimpse of this scene and was immediately stunned.

The two sisters also noticed this scene at this moment.

Chen Shumi believes that Xu Xiuwen did this to please Zheng Xiuyan.

He must have done this for her.

Chen Shuwan, however, believes that Xu Xiuwen has no ulterior motives and is simply good at taking care of people.

The way she looked at Xu Xiuwen was filled with a strange emotion.

Coming to her senses, Jessica Jung politely declined, saying, "Thank you, but I can do it myself."

She didn't take the plate Xu Xiuwen offered, but continued cutting the steak on her own plate.

Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen nodded without saying anything.

Chen Shumi looked at the steak in front of Xu Xiuwen and asked, "What should we do with this steak?"

Xu Xiuwen thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit of a waste to waste it. Why don't the three of us divide it up?"

The two sisters considered it for a moment and then agreed.

The three of them worked together to finish the extra food.

Jessica Jung was still not done at this point.

Xu Xiuwen stood up at the right moment and said, "Auntie, please take your time eating. I'll be leaving for a bit."

Jessica Jung nodded and continued to enjoy her food.

Shortly after Xu Xiuwen got up and left, Chen Shumi suddenly gave her sister a look.

Upon seeing this, Chen Shuwan quickly understood its meaning.

The next second, Chen Shumi said, "Mom, I'm going to the bathroom too."

Chen Shuwan chimed in, "I'm going too!"

Jessica Jung did not notice anything unusual.

She nodded and said, "You all go ahead."

After receiving permission, the two sisters got up and walked towards the restroom.

I went into the bathroom.

After checking around to make sure no one else was there, Chen Shumi turned to face Chen Shuwan and asked, "Sister, don't you have anything to explain?"

Chen Shuwan knew exactly what her sister was referring to.

She hesitated, "Mi'er, I..."

She found it difficult to continue speaking.

Seeing this, Chen Shumi continued to ask, "Why did you tell Mom that you were the one in a relationship?"

In fact, she had already guessed why her sister said that.

She just needed a definite answer.

Chen Shuwan fell silent again.

After a good ten seconds, she slowly spoke again: "Honey, do you believe me if I say I didn't mean it?"

Chen Shumi nodded: "I believe whatever you say."

Chen Shuwan was moved, but at the same time felt a little guilty and ashamed.

She pursed her lips and said, "When Mom asked us which of us was dating, I panicked a little. I was worried that Mom would be angry, so I tried to take all the blame on myself. Even if Mom wanted to hit or scold me, she would do it to me, not to you..."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Chen Shumi's eyes.

The truth was exactly as she had guessed. The two sisters had spent many years together, and they understood each other better than anyone else.

Although she understood her sister's actions, it was impossible for her not to feel any resentment at all.

Chen Shumi couldn't help but say, "Sister, what you're doing now is actually making things worse! You might as well let Mom hit or scold me."

Chen Shuwan apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Mi'er, I didn't mean to hurt you..."

Chen Shumi interrupted her. "Sister, stop talking!"

Chen Shuwan was taken aback.

Chen Shumi continued, "There's no such thing as harming each other between us. Even if you did it on purpose, I wouldn't blame you. Please don't say that again."

Chen Shuwan was moved once again.

Chen Shumi sighed.

Chen Shuwan's heart tightened.

She observed her sister's expression and cautiously asked, "Honey, what do we do now?"

"do not know."

"Or I should go and explain it to my mom."

"No!" Chen Shumi quickly stopped her sister. "It's too late to say anything now, let it go! I can't bear to see you punished."

Although Mom didn't seem too angry when she found out her older sister was dating, she didn't show it too much.

But if their mother found out, the two of them would team up to deceive her.

Jessica Jung will definitely punish them severely.

Chen Shuwan couldn't bear to see her younger sister being beaten and scolded by her mother.

How could Chen Shumi, as the younger sister, bear to see her older sister punished by her mother?

"But……"

Chen Shumi made her final decision.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. It won't change anything anyway..." Chen Shumi was still worried and continued to remind her, "Sister, you must be careful and don't let anything slip!"

"Okay, I promise I won't let it slip!"

"Sigh!" Chen Shumi sighed again.

Chen Shuwan looked remorseful. "Honey, I'm so sorry."

"Alright, sister, don't say things like that anymore. Just remember one thing: I will never blame you."

The self-blame in Chen Shuwan's eyes deepened.

Xu Xiuwen went to the restroom.

When he returned, he didn't see the two sisters, but only Jessica Jung.

He was now in a dilemma.

If he goes directly to Jessica Jung's side, without the two sisters present, he will have to bear the pressure from Jessica Jung alone.

But if he doesn't go to Jessica Jung's side for the time being.

That's certainly a good idea.

But what if Jessica Jung has already seen him?

His actions then become highly suspicious.

In the end, Xu Xiuwen still gritted his teeth and walked towards Zheng Xiuyan.

After Xu Xiuwen sat down, Zheng Xiuyan glanced up at him.

Xu Xiuwen then asked, "Where are the other two?"

Jessica Jung said, "Same as you."

"Oh."

Then neither of them spoke again.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Xu Xiuwen thought to himself that since he was the younger generation, he should try to break the awkward atmosphere by starting a conversation.

He suddenly thought of a topic and asked, "Aunt Zheng, I heard from Mi'er and Wan'er that you work at a hospital. I wonder which hospital you work at?"

Jessica Jung casually mentioned the name of a hospital.

Xu Xiuwen didn't pay attention at first, but then something suddenly occurred to him.

Then he carefully observed Jessica Jung, his brows furrowing.

The next second, Xu Xiuwen remembered.

It turns out that the woman in front of him, Jessica Jung, was the head nurse who was in charge of his ward when he was hospitalized. (Chapter 426)
Xu Xiuwen still remembers one thing.

That was when Jessica Jung, who was the head nurse at the time, came to make her rounds.

An Shishi hid under his blanket, doing things that couldn't be seen by others.

He was afraid of being discovered, but he also couldn't bear to leave An Shishi's lips.

I was so nervous I felt like I was about to explode.

He still remembered what Jessica Jung said to him, 'You kid, I've told you I'm more than ten years older than you, but you still keep calling me 'older sister'.'

At the time, he could never have imagined that the head nurse who made rounds was actually the mother of the twin sisters Chen Shuwan and Chen Shumi.

Although they are not biologically related, the kindness of raising them is greater than the kindness of giving birth to them.

So there's no difference between them and biological children.

Jessica Jung suddenly asked, "What's wrong?"

It turned out that Xu Xiuwen's expression was too exaggerated.

Xu Xiuwen quickly concealed his true emotions.

He shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Xu Xiuwen had considered whether or not to reveal this matter, but ultimately held back.

Judging from Jessica Jung's reaction, she may have already forgotten about it.

This is also normal.

As a nurse, I see many people every day, how could I possibly remember every single patient?

Since Jessica Jung didn't recognize him, Hsu Hsiu-wen simply pretended not to know him either.

There was actually another reason why he did this.

That was An Shishi's silly behavior back then, and he didn't know if Zheng Xiuyan had noticed it.

Judging from Jessica Jung's reaction at the time, she most likely didn't notice.

However, we cannot rule out the possibility of a low-probability scenario.

That is, Jessica Jung chose to pretend she didn't know in order to save face for her patient.

So once Jessica recognizes him, she will also remember that incident.

Then, she would never agree to her daughter dating him again.

After recognizing Jessica Jung, Hsu Hsiu-wen became somewhat uneasy.

He desperately wanted to find an excuse to leave right now.

But the two sisters haven't returned yet.

It would seem rather strange if he left now.

After much deliberation, I decided to wait a little longer.

Jessica Jung continued, "You seem very nervous..."

Xu Xiuwen chuckled dryly, "No way, how could that be, hehe..."

Jessica Jung didn't say anything more after hearing that.

She continued to enjoy her meal, occasionally glancing up at Xu Xiuwen.

Just when Xu Xiuwen thought everything was fine.

Jessica Jung once looked up at him and suddenly narrowed her eyes.

Xu Xiuwen's heart jumped instantly.

The next second, Jessica Jung said, "I feel like you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"

Xu Xiuwen's heart jumped into his throat.

This issue is very disturbing.

He wasn't sure if Jessica Jung recognized him and was giving him a chance, or if she was just saying it casually.

Xu Xiuwen quickly replied, "I don't think so."

Jessica Jung squinted and said, "But you do look very familiar to me."

"Maybe it's because I'm good-looking. After all, all handsome guys look pretty much the same...hehe..."

Xu Xiuwen continued to laugh dryly.

"Really?" Jessica Jung still seemed somewhat doubtful.

at this time.

Chen Shumi's voice suddenly rang out behind Xu Xiuwen.

"That's perfectly normal!"

"What do you mean?" Jessica Jung asked, puzzled.

Chen Shumi explained, "Mom, Brother Wen is an actor. He played the male lead, Dao Ming Si, in 'Boys Over Flowers,' so it's normal that you think he looks familiar."

Jessica Jung's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she exclaimed, "You're an actress?"

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

He had a headache.

Why did his girlfriend have to come back at this particular time of year? And she even overheard their conversation and revealed his identity as an actor.

Xu Xiuwen felt that the more information he revealed, the greater the risk of being recognized.
