Chapter 673. Can't Run Away From Responsibility
When Zhuang Shurong said this, her expression was slightly solemn. She silently watched Mu Yuchen’s handsome face and paused for a while. When he did not answer, she continued, “I won’t say too much. I just hope that you will be more vigilant. I’ve never agreed for the two of you to be together. Right from the start, even though your father and I are in high positions, we’re in a very sensitive situation. We can’t give you anything. The only thing we can fight for you is that we hope for you to have a happy marriage.”
“I watched Gu Lingsha grow up too. All these years, I could tell that you didn’t have her on your mind, so I knew. Actually, back then when you agreed to marry her, I’d personally went looking for her, hoping that she could leave you because I could not see a hint of love in your eyes. Ah Chen, I’ll never be afraid to admit the things that I’ve done. I know what kind of person my son is. If you’re still blaming yourself for Lingtian’s incident, then I’m afraid I can’t run away from the responsibility either.”
When Zhuang Shurong finished, Mu Yuchen was stunned for a moment. He suddenly looked up at her, his depth-filled eyes suddenly filled with mixed complications. Then, he looked away and picked up the teapot before pouring some tea for Zhuang Shurong again as he said, “Why did you look for her? Since I’ve nodded and agreed to marry her, I have my own plans too.”
“Because I think that she doesn’t suit you, Ah Chen… Even though everyone should have their own love and no one can imitate anyone else, I still hope that you could be like your father and I. You are the combination of your father and me. I hope that you can be happy too. While Gu Lingsha is extremely shrewd, there’s also the relationship with the Gu family too.”
Zhuang Shurong sighed softly. “Back then, when I went to look for her, I struggled for a long time too, but my father didn’t stop me.”
“I clearly told her that even if she married into the Mu family, I wouldn’t acknowledge her. In fact, I was firm on not having her work at Glory World Corporation. I’ve long noticed Gu Qihao is wildly ambitious. Otherwise, he wouldn’t still let Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng have their unclear relationship while knowing that Gu Lingsha was your fiancèe.”
Even though Zhuang Shurong was not a businesswoman, she was still someone who had hustled in the political scene for many years. Plus, with her position, she held extraordinary vigilance and was very careful doing all things. She could not afford the slightest mistake. This was how as a woman, she could hold such a high position and did not have a single scandal.
She had always been like this. As long as she realized something was odd, she would make a move first and not let it develop into a disaster. Even Mu Yuchen admired how firm and decisive she was in doing things.
“So, Ah Chen, I probably can’t run from the responsibility of Gu Lingsha eloping before her marriage. When I went to look for her, Lingtian found out. You also know even though Lingtian has been calling me mother for all these years, he’s not close to me. I even flung a cup of coffee onto Gu Lingsha’s face, and Lingtian saw it all.”
