Chapter 224 Sweet Dreams
Shu Hui banged on the door outside, fuming, "Come out here! Let’s get everything clear, just the two of us, mother and daughter!"
Tu Hengsha saw Shu Hui was genuinely angry; she didn’t dare try to smooth it over and cautiously opened the door, softly calling out, "Mom..."
That single call made Shu Hui lose her temper as well. She pinched her daughter’s cheek, frustrated, "I’m doing this for your own good! I know you like him, but you can’t be too forward. Saying things like you seduced him first, these words shouldn’t come from you, and actions like this should never be repeated! Things that come too easily won’t be treasured by men."
What she was thinking was: She and Xiao Xu were different; the entanglements and past between them were unparalleled. Xiao Xu wasn’t like ordinary men; he knew the value of cherishing.
Yet, to quell her mother’s anger, she nodded and obediently agreed.
Shu Hui sighed, "I hope you truly understand it. When it comes to matters of the heart, a girl should always keep something back, don’t be so foolish!"
"Mom, I understand... You should rest early; I’m going to bed too." She agreed on the surface.
"And..." Shu Hui blocked the door, "What exactly happened that you can tell the Su family boy but not your mother? So, am I an outsider in your eyes now?"
"No!" She was just afraid her mom would worry, "It’s work matters; you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. He works at the same place, so he knows. But trust me, I won’t do anything to shame this profession, mom."
Shu Hui remained silent for a while, then nodded, "With your guarantee, I’m relieved. But still, you need to get the truth, not let your reputation be sullied ambiguously. In life, reputation is everything! A bad name makes living meaningless!"
"I understand, mom. The chief editor said he’d investigate. Su Ronggui... he also just said he’ll handle it and clear my name." Referring to earlier, she felt uneasy, fearing her mom might get angry again.
