In the evening, when Song Jie came home, Mrs. Song was waiting for him in the hall.
Song Jie was stunned for a moment. She usually went to bed at this time, so why hadn't she gone to bed today? She seemed to be waiting for him.
Because she saw him coming back, Mrs. Song waved to him.
"Mom, what's the matter? Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Song Jie asked with concern.
"I'm not sleepy yet. How can I sleep if you haven't solved your life-long issue?" Mrs. Song sighed.
Song Jie was shocked, what was going on today, both of them told him about getting married.
"Mom, why did you suddenly mention this matter? I've been very busy recently." Song Jie's implication was that he didn't want to talk about this issue for the time being.
But ginger is still very spicy, so how could you let it go so easily?
"Busy, when are you not busy? Your Aunt Li's grandson is already 3 years old. How about you? You're not married yet." Mrs. Song said sadly.
Song Jie said, "Mom, I was just about to talk to you about this issue? You were talking about my engagement with Shen Yue..."
Before Song Jie could finish speaking, Mrs. Song immediately interrupted him, "Please fulfill the engagement as soon as possible."
A trace of gloom flashed between Song Jie's brows and eyes, "Mom, I mean to terminate the engagement."
"What? Break off the engagement? What's wrong with Shen Yue?" Mrs. Song asked back.
"Mom, there's nothing wrong with her, it's just not suitable for me." Song Jie explained, especially the few times he saw her recently, it really disgusted him every time.
It's really hard for him to accept such a character. He should marry a virtuous wife.
"Nonsense, what does it mean to be unsuitable? How do you know if you haven't gotten along with me before? You are irresponsible. This girl's reputation has been ruined." Mrs. Song said angrily.
"Mom, I will discuss with her family and let her family announce the dissolution of the engagement," Song Jie said.
"I don't agree. Shen Yue is so nice. That child just came to see me in the afternoon. She is considerate and caring. You are lucky to marry her." Mrs. Song said in a good voice.
Song Jie suddenly realized that Shen Yue had been here.
She probably came over right after she came out of his office. She is very scheming.
Song Jie pursed his lips and felt even more uncomfortable. He always felt like he was being plotted against.
"Okay, Mom, it's very late. Let's go to bed first. We will discuss this issue tomorrow." Song Jie comforted his mother.
"Anyway, you get married as soon as possible and don't cause any complications." Mrs. Song said forcefully.
Song Jie felt a dull pain in his forehead. He knew his mother's personality well.
"Well, okay, we'll talk about it then. I still have some work to do, so I'll go do it first." Song Jie said helplessly.
Seeing that her son was still busy so late, Mrs. Song couldn't bear to talk any more, so she asked him to go to bed early.
Song Jie sat in the study, upset. The engagement was like a thorn stuck in his throat, making him feel very uncomfortable.
…
When Shen Yue returned home, only her mother was there, but she had a sad look on her face.
"Yue'er, you're back? How's it going? Did Song Jie agree?" Mrs. Shen asked with concern.
Shen Yue shook her head, looking confused.
"How could this happen? Do they want to go back on their word?" Mrs. Shen asked anxiously, "Doesn't he know about our family's situation?"
"I don't know, but Mrs. Song may not agree to break off the engagement. She is still very optimistic about me." Shen Yue said confidently.
"That's good, please don't cause any trouble." Mrs. Shen prayed.
"Mom, where is the second brother?" Shen Yue asked.
"I don't know where we are hanging out again." Mrs. Shen said angrily.
