Zhou Mo shook his head and said, "Mom, I won't go back with you."
Jiang Man's voice trembled: "Mo'er, you and Zong Qi secretly dated each other without telling your family. We only found out later when the security guard at home saw Zong Qi escorting you back.
You are a girl, and you moved out to live with a man before you even got to the point of talking about marriage. Do you know how much impact this will have on your reputation if word spreads about it?"
Zhou Mo said calmly: "But I don't care."
Jiang Man took a deep breath and said: "You don't care, but what do you want me to do with your father? What if your father's superiors and subordinates want to introduce you to someone, but they hear that you are living with a man? What do you think?
Will anyone still want it?"
Zhou Mo's fingers pressing against the door tightened slightly.
Their family has always been upright, but now that she has a "deviant" daughter, her father will probably be ridiculed by his colleagues in the officialdom in the future, right?
"Mom, please let me marry Zong Qi, so that we can live together legitimately, and you and dad don't have to worry about other people's rumors."
"Mo'er!" Jiang Man looked at her with heartache and said hoarsely: "I can't let you marry Zong Qi! It's hard to say whether his body can survive the age of 35!"
Zhou Mo's mood fluctuated violently: "Mom——! Please don't say that! Why did he become like this? It's not for the country! Is it appropriate for you to say such a thing?"
Why would Jiang Man want to say that?
"It's not appropriate. Mom has to say it, because you are my daughter. Mom can't just watch you become a widow at a young age."
Regarding this point, Zhou Mo has already thought about it: "I will accompany Zong Qi. If he is sick, I will take care of him. If he wants to start a career, I will protect him. If he wants to raise children, I will accompany him. Mom
, this is my choice, please respect me."
Jiang Man choked and said, "But have you ever thought about whether you want to be with Zong Qi because of admiration and sympathy, or because of love?"
Zhou Mo paused slightly.
"Mom, I've been here before. You met Zong Qi at a young age. It's normal to have admiration and even awe for his profession, but you must make it clear that admiration is worship and is not the same as love.
Same."
Jiang Man's persuasion came one after another, neither urgent nor angry, but extremely sharp.
"I admire Zongqi and I sympathize with him, but these emotions will also happen to other people, but I only want to be with Zongqi, so I can be sure that I care about him."
As for the word "love", Zhou Mo thought it was too unforgettable. She and Zong Qi hadn't reached that level yet.
Perhaps, she can only understand it when she and Zong Qi part ways, right?
"Mo'er, why are you standing at the door talking?" At this moment, a man's voice sounded from behind Zhou Mo.
Jiang Man looked around suddenly and saw Zong Qi who had kidnapped her precious daughter!
Her expression turned cold and she stared at him expressionlessly.
Zong Qi also saw Jiang Man outside the door and called out in surprise: "Aunt Jiang."
When Jiang Man heard his address, he was immediately furious, but remembering that the two families still had some friendship, he nodded stiffly.
After Zong Qi regained his composure, he turned to Zhou Mo and said, "Mo'er, let Aunt Jiang come in."
"But......"
Zhou Mo was about to say that her mother was here to beat the couple, when Jiang Man said: "No, Mo'er and I will leave here soon, so we won't go in to visit your private residence."
Zong Qi's eyes tightened slightly, but he quickly recovered and said: "Aunt Jiang, this is mine and Mo'er's..."
He thought for a while and then said: "The love nest is the place where we will live together in the future."
Hearing this, Zhou Mo's face flashed with a hint of sweetness.
She liked Zong Qi's answer. This man was usually like a boring gourd, and it was rare to hear him say a sweet word.
