Chapter 27 Guilty Heart

Chapter 27 Guilty Heart

Seeing Chen Jia rushing back, Chen's mother asked suspiciously, "What are you doing, acting so suspiciously? Did you do something to betray me and your brother?"

"Chen Jia, let me warn you, you are where you are today thanks to your brother. If you dare to do anything to embarrass your brother, you'll see if I help you in the next few days."

Although Chen Jia had long known her parents' intentions, she still felt uneasy when she heard them so blatantly favoring her brother. This was why she wanted to find someone she liked to marry and eventually leave this family completely.

Suppressing her anger, Chen Jia forced a smile and said awkwardly, "Mom, I just did it by accident. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

Chen's mother looked Chen Jia up and down, still not believing that there was nothing wrong with Chen Jia coming back like this.

Suddenly remembering something, Chen's mother walked up to Chen Jia, grabbed her clothes, and asked coldly, "You don't have a boyfriend, do you?"

Chen Jia's heart skipped a beat, worried that her mother would find out that she really liked Shen Xi.

If he is discovered, he's completely finished.

"Mom, what are you saying? How could I do such a thing? I've always listened to you and haven't started dating easily. If I were really worried about someone, I would definitely bring them back to meet you."

Chen's mother still felt that something was strange.

After observing Chen Jia for a long time and seeing that Chen Jia seemed to really not do that, he turned his head and said, "It would be best if you said it this way. If you dare not listen to us, we will sever all ties, and we will take back everything your brother gave you."

Chen Jia's hands clenched unconsciously, but slowly loosened when her mother looked over.

Looking at her mother's somewhat harsh face, Chen Jia mustered her courage and said, "Mom, can't you be nicer to me? I'm your child too, so why does my brother get more than me?"

“I favor sons over daughters. I like sons but not daughters, so of course I give them different things.”

"But Chen Jia, I didn't just sell you off to help your brother get married. I even got you a job as a nurse in the treatment room. What more do you want?" Chen's mother asked sharply.

Before she came to join the army, she found a barefoot doctor to be Chen Jia's mentor. Later, that barefoot doctor went to work at the hospital and took Chen Jia with him.

Chen Jia learned all these skills at the hospital.

Chen Jia felt somewhat defeated as she listened to her mother's words.

Even though everything was explained so clearly, Chen's mother still likes to bring this up.

"Chen Jia, don't think I'm being harsh. We've really done everything we could for you. We won't ask for any bride price when you get married, and we'll give you some dowry, but that's all." Chen's mother spoke very clearly.

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and said with a sharp look in his eyes, "Chen Jia, I don't care what you've done outside, but you better remember this: don't do anything you shouldn't do here. If you dare to implicate your brother, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Faced with her mother's warning, Chen Jia dared not refute it, nor did she dare to reveal Shen Xizhen's affair.

For some reason, her parents disliked Shen Xizhen very much from the second time they saw her.

He even threatened her not to get too close to Shen Xizhen.

But Shen Xi was someone she had always liked, so how could she possibly stay far away from him?

Chen's mother glanced at Chen Jia, and the guilt in Chen Jia's eyes made Chen Jia frown slightly.

“Chen Jia, some people can’t be trusted. They like to use their good looks to deceive young girls like you. I advise you to think twice before doing anything, so as not to ruin your future.” Chen’s mother thought that Chen Jia was still her daughter, and she should explain and teach her what needed to be taught.

Chen Jia's heart skipped a beat. Had her mother figured something out?

"Chen Jia, I know Shen Xizhen is a good person. She's good-looking and comes from a good family, but you can't control someone like Shen Xizhen. Don't like Shen Xizhen anymore, give up."

Seeing that her mother had guessed her little thoughts, Chen Jia said anxiously, "Mom, Dr. Shen is a very nice person, it's not like what you said."

Chen's mother laughed in exasperation: "Fine, you decide for yourself. I don't want to interfere in your affairs, but remember this: once you've made a decision, don't regret it. Whether you live a good or bad life in the future is your own business. Can you accept that?"

Chen Jia was prepared to be scolded by her mother, but to her surprise, her mother didn't scold her. Instead, she asked this question.

"I can accept it. I can take responsibility for my own future. Even if I'm battered and bruised, I won't come begging for your help." Chen Jia was also very firm, saying these words in front of her mother.

Chen's mother looked at Chen Jia with a hesitant expression, but in the end, she said nothing and just quietly looked at Chen Jia in front of her.

After watching for a while, I shook my head and went back.

Chen Jia is now completely entangled.

Only after hitting a wall do you realize that it's not so easy to hit.

Chen Jia thought her mother would continue to lecture her, but to her surprise, she turned around and went back home.

Chen Jia immediately followed, somewhat nervously.

"Mom, what do you think of Zheng Jiayu?" Chen Jia knew that her mother often went out to chat and stroll around with people in the family compound.

Upon hearing the name Zheng Jiayu, Chen's mother's serious face softened with a faint smile: "This young lady is a kind person and also very perceptive in her actions."

"I quite like Zheng Jiayu, it's just a pity that she's already married."

"Mom, Zheng Jiayu is a slut who seduces others..."

Chen's mother frowned at Chen Jia and said coldly, "Enough, Chen Jia, you've never even met Zheng Jiayu, how can you talk about her like that?"

"You've returned all your manners and what your brother taught you?" This time, Chen's mother was truly angry.

It's so tragic that Zheng Jiayu was framed like this by Chen Jia for someone she'd never even met.

"Mom, I was only targeting Zheng Jiayu. She's already married, but she's still trying to seduce Dr. Shen." Chen Jia said, feeling both ashamed and annoyed, just thinking about how gentle and helpless Shen Xizhen looked when she talked about Zheng Jiayu.

That's enough.

It's all because of this Dr. Shen.

What kind of hypnotic potion did Shen Xizhen give her to make Chen Jia help him so much?

"mom……"

"Comrade Zheng Jiayu probably doesn't even know which way the door to that treatment room faces. How could she seduce someone?" Chen's mother pressed.

Normal questioning was perceived as aggressive by Chen Jia.

"Mom, you've gone too far! I'm clearly your daughter, why are you only helping Zheng Jiayu and not me?"

"Dr. Shen said that Zheng Jiayu disliked Shen Lin because of her, and even hit him."

Seeing Chen Jia's agitated state, Chen's mother said as if she were looking at an idiot, "You've been deceived and you don't even know it, how foolish."
