Chapter 228: Is Xiaoxiao Willing to Give You an Opportunity?
Song Jinyu thought her son’s words just now were him being petulant with Tang Jie’er, using Xiaoxiao to boost his aura and tell Tang Jie’er that if she loved someone else, he loved someone else too, as a way to spite each other.
Song Jinyu wanted to help mediate and said politely, “Jie’er, you’re here to see Chusheng, come in quickly. Chusheng is just saying things in anger, don’t take it to heart.”
“Hmph!” Tang Jie’er said coldly, “My father insisted I come see you, nagging me incessantly. It seems he’s being overly sentimental! What’s so great about a man like you? Having dated you was truly embarrassing!”
Tang Jie’er threw Lin Chusheng’s words back at him coldly. She turned around, her high heels clicking, and left.
“Jie’er!” Song Jinyu started to chase after her.
Lin Chusheng held his mother’s hand and said, “It’s fine, Mom. We don’t even need to be friends. Neither of us needs to be looked at.”
“Sigh!”
Hearing her son’s firm words, Song Jinyu sighed heavily. Her son’s first love was truly a vexing experience.
Song Jinyu advised, “Chusheng, friction is inevitable when dating. Don’t be so stubborn!”
“I’m not being stubborn,” Lin Chusheng said, looking at his mother very sincerely. “I truly love Xiaoxiao.”
Lin Chusheng’s heart was in turmoil and felt heavy. He poured out his incredibly turbulent emotions to his mother.
Song Jinyu understood that her son had experienced an illusory love. He had truly realized what he needed in his heart and what he cherished.
Song Jinyu said frankly, “We could all see that Xiaoxiao liked you quite a bit, but you chose Miss Tang. Xiaoxiao must have been very sad!
“We were very surprised when you brought Miss Tang to France for the summer vacation. Your father and I, along with Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhang, all thought you and Xiaoxiao would naturally fall in love and get married. You returned to China to study at university, and your Uncle Ye arranged for Xiaoxiao to study at the same university as you. We all supported you both!
“Seeing you with Miss Tang, the four of us parents discussed it. Your Uncle Ye asked Xiaoxiao’s opinion, and she said since you chose Miss Tang, she blessed you both.
“We adults all felt that Xiaoxiao was hurt by you, but Xiaoxiao said she respected your decision, so we respected it too.
“Xiaoxiao also knows you’ve broken up with Miss Tang. Does she blame you for dating other girls? Is she willing to give you another chance?
“Chusheng, if you love Xiaoxiao, be honest with her and ask for her forgiveness. Xiaoxiao is still very good to you now. Perhaps she’ll be willing to accept you?”
Lin Chusheng shook his head and said bleakly, “I don’t know how Xiaoxiao views my past love for Tang Jie’er. But… there’s another boy by Xiaoxiao’s side, comforting her and taking care of her when she was most sad. Xiaoxiao might have already… fallen in love with him!”
“What?” Song Jinyu exclaimed in surprise. She understood that it was inevitable for a cute and well-behaved girl like Xiaoxiao to be liked by many boys, but how could another boy have immediately occupied Xiaoxiao’s heart in just this short half-year interval?!
Lin Chusheng felt a deep sadness, and that feeling of entanglement and torment spread through him again.
After a pause, Song Jinyu reacted, “Chusheng, are you saying the boy who was so good to Xiaoxiao is Ziyi, whom we just met?”
“Mm,” Lin Chusheng replied weakly.
Now that Song Jinyu thought about it, she wasn’t surprised at all. That boy was polite and considerate towards Xiaoxiao.
