Chapter 133 You'll never know the pain until the knife falls on your own skin.
Gu Yunchen quickly revealed his detailed contact address and repeatedly instructed Lan Die'er to remember it.
Then he quickly added: It's getting late today, let's have a proper chat in a couple of days when we have more time.
However, Gu Yunchen changed the subject, saying that he had more important "family matters" to deal with, and he emphasized the so-called "family matters".
Hearing these three words mentioned with such emphasis, Lan Die'er understood and left. Before leaving, she quietly made a mental note of everyone present with Gu Yunchen.
Then, she gave a sweet and charming smile and replied softly, "Don't worry, big brother, I've remembered. I'll come find you!"
After saying that, Lan Die'er turned around and skipped away with a smile.
Gu Yunchen quickly winked at Shen Xiuyan and Shen Xiujin beside him, and waved to He Wenxuan to follow as well.
So the four of them hurriedly left the original spot, boarded a carriage, and headed towards a safer location. Before long, they finally arrived at their destination, which was Gu Yunchen's small residence.
Once inside the house, the group relaxed as if a great weight had been lifted from their shoulders, and Gu Yunchen released Jiang Mianmian.
But to everyone's surprise, before they could even get their bearings, Jiang Mianmian rushed forward, her face full of anger, and began to berate them:
"Gu Yunchen, Gu Yunchen, what exactly do you mean? If you want to find that woman, then go find her. Why do you have to drag me into this?"
Faced with Jiang Mianmian's questioning, Gu Yunchen did not back down and retorted confidently:
“You are my mother, and I am your son. The woman I'm looking for will definitely be your daughter-in-law in the future! Tell me, how can this have nothing to do with you?”
"No! There's absolutely no way we could have any other relationship!" Jiang Mianmian shouted resolutely, her eyes unusually firm, her mind made up. "Hmph, as long as we completely sever our mother-son relationship, that's enough."
Yes, that's it!
Sever ties, and all problems will be solved!
Hehe! Gu Yunchen heard it all the way, and Jiang Mianmian kept thinking about it.
He couldn't help but feel helpless and had a headache, thinking: You've been nagging for so long, how come your anger hasn't subsided at all?
At this moment, Gu Yunchen was completely at a loss, having no idea how to appease his emotional mother.
After all, his adoptive mother had always been an extremely rational and calm woman, and he had almost never had to bother to coax or persuade her.
But now, faced with his own mother's unruly behavior, he felt helpless and didn't know how to appease her.
Just then, Shen Xiujin, who was leaning on Shen Xiuyan's shoulder, was laughing so hard that he could hardly breathe.
Hahaha... Now you finally know how formidable our mother is, right? Look at you, so silly.
So what? Let's see if you can handle this. If you really can't, you'd better hand your mother back to me obediently!
I was raised by my mother from a young age, so I know her temperament and personality very well and am used to her nature.
Hearing Shen Xiujin's laughter, Gu Yunchen glared at him fiercely and scolded him irritably, "Hmph! Stop gloating! Didn't your mother threaten to sever our mother-son relationship?"
"Hmph! How could Mother possibly sever our mother-son relationship? I've always been a sensible child who never causes trouble!"
Shen Xiujin raised his chin, a smug look on his face, then changed the subject, saying with a hint of boastfulness:
"And my future wife, Zhou Jingyao, is very much loved and highly regarded by my mother!"
Although he knew in his heart that the relationship was just an illusion, at this moment, in front of Gu Yunchen, he had to pretend it was real, even if it was fake.
Shen Xiujin spoke nonsense with a straight face, speaking with absolute certainty and conviction.
"If your own mother hadn't switched us, I would be the one growing up by her side now! And you, the son of this culprit, what is there to be proud of?"
"I didn't do this! If you're so capable, go find that woman!"
Shen Xiujin crossed his arms, turned his head away, and adopted a posture of refusing to admit it. He absolutely refused to acknowledge that person as his biological mother, and sneered inwardly.
And so, the two of them began to argue fiercely, each refusing to give in. Their voices rose and fell, like two fighting cocks locked in a fierce battle.
Ruan Yaoyao, who had originally wanted to interject and express her stance—hoping to completely sever the mother-son relationship—could only watch helplessly as the two of them went back and forth, unable to find a chance to speak.
Gradually, Jiang Mianmian began to have doubts and couldn't help but wonder if these two were doing it on purpose, deliberately choosing this time to quarrel and upset her.
[Whether they're biological children or those who rely on health products, none of them are any good!]
Shen Xiuyan, whose words had condemned everyone, looked at Jiang Mianmian with an innocent expression: Mother, when you said that, I, the one who is "health-conscious," should not be included, right?
Meanwhile, Jiang Mianmian sat quietly to the side, coldly watching the two people arguing like a farce.
She had made up her mind that she would sever all ties with Gu Yunchen today, no matter what. She paid no attention to their argument and simply watched quietly.
At first, Shen Xiujin did argue with Gu Yunchen, but he gradually realized something was wrong.
So he began to intentionally try to help Gu Yunchen by arguing with Jiang Mianmian to distract her and ease the tense atmosphere.
However, to his utter surprise, Jiang Mianmian's willpower was so strong that she remained unmoved and sat there steadily waiting.
Seeing that continuing the argument would only lead to embarrassment, Shen Xiujin had no choice but to stop the pointless debate with Gu Yunchen.
Gu Yunchen also felt somewhat embarrassed at this moment. He had originally thought that he could salvage the situation through arguing, but he did not expect things to turn out so awkwardly. He awkwardly touched his nose.
Just as everyone fell silent, a weak voice suddenly rang out: "Um... can you solve my problem now?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that He Wenxuan, who had been waiting for a long time, finally couldn't help but let out his weak voice.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiujin and Gu Yunchen were taken aback at first, then as if they were telepathically connected, their brainwaves instantly connected—that's right, how could we forget about He Wenxuan!
"Mother, do you still remember Su Qianqian? You don't know, she's actually hooking up with He Wenxuan's brother-in-law, Ren Muchen!"
Jiang Mianmian looked completely bewildered!
Holy crap! Holy crap!
"Speaking of Ren Muchen, you should still remember him, right? He's the one from Ji'an Hall who has extremely high medical talent and is known as the 'Little Divine Doctor.' He's famous all over the place..."
Jiang Mianmian had naturally heard of Mu Chen from Ji'an Hall, as she had long heard of his superb medical skills and miraculous healing abilities!
[Tsk tsk tsk, I really didn't expect that! This Su Qianqian changed her target so quickly?!]
[Hehe! It's a good thing she changed her target. That way, our second son is safe!]
Hahaha... This is truly something to be happy about!
Shen Xiujin was secretly delighted when he heard Jiang Mianmian's voice, but he didn't want to show it too obviously because He Wenxuan was his good brother.
So he quickly suppressed his gloating and began to tell Jiang Mianmian about all the things He Wenxuan had recently experienced.
I'd like to ask her for some advice and help them "analyze" how to properly handle this situation.
"Mother, people say that old ginger is spicier. You have rich experience and broad knowledge, so you can definitely give him some guidance. Please help us think of the most appropriate way to deal with this situation."
However, Jiang Mianmian responded irritably, "Hmph... Don't ask me, how would I know what to do? Besides, I've never encountered anything like this before!"
After speaking, she glanced seemingly casually at the label above He Wenxuan's head, and sighed inwardly:
[Alas! Poor He Wenxuan, to the second brother, he was just a cannon fodder supporting character. Who would have thought that, even with his brother-in-law, he'd end up being that same pathetic cannon fodder again.]
Could it be that he really just has the typical face of a 'cannon fodder male supporting character'?
Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for He Wenxuan.
Looking at He Wenxuan, he was now on the verge of tears. He thought with deep sorrow:
"Am I really so unlucky because of this face? If that's the case, then... should I consider finding someone to replace this damn face for me?!"
However, as soon as the idea popped into his head, even he found it somewhat absurd and ridiculous.
After all, getting a face transplant is no easy thing. Moreover, even if it were possible, who can guarantee that his fate would be completely changed after the transplant?
It's quite strange, but not long ago, when Su Qianqian was still single-mindedly clinging to Shen Xiujin, he was extremely infatuated with her, and even once thought that she was the only true love of his life.
But as fate would have it, when Su Qianqian suddenly fell in love with his brother-in-law, he was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, instantly waking up from that state of fervent infatuation.
Now that he has calmed down and carefully recalled everything that happened, he really can't understand what was wrong with him back then.
He actually fell head over heels in love with a woman like Su Qianqian, and even did so many incredibly stupid and ridiculous things for her.
At this moment, he finally understood the true meaning of the proverb, "You'll never know the pain until the knife falls on your own body."
