Chapter 28 She is my daughter
Chen Jia kept shaking her head: "Mom, Dr. Shen wouldn't lie to me, he's a very good person."
Seeing that she had already made herself so clear, but Chen Jia still didn't believe her and even spoke up for Shen Xizhen, Chen's mother couldn't help but roll her eyes and coldly looked at Chen Jia in front of her, saying, "Since you believe Shen Xizhen, then I won't say anything more."
"If you get scammed in the future, don't come crying to us. We can't help you." They'd said everything they needed to say, but Chen Jia still refused to believe them. Since that was the case, there was nothing more to say.
Chen Jia looked at her mother hesitantly, then finally nodded seriously.
She still firmly believed that Shen Xizhen would not lie to her.
Chen's mother couldn't help but roll her eyes, too lazy to pay any attention to Chen Jia.
You can't reason with a suicidal person.
Only by letting her experience it firsthand will she know what the outcome will be.
"Chen Jia, you'll regret this." Chen's mother thought that Chen Jia was still her daughter, so she reminded her again.
However, the more Chen's mother reminded her, the more firmly Chen Jia felt that her mother just couldn't stand to see her doing well.
"Mom, I won't regret it."
Chen's mother opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing, letting Chen Jia go like a moth drawn to a flame.
The next day, Chen's mother found Zheng Jiayu while Chen Jia was at work.
Zheng Jiayu looked at the strange woman who had suddenly come to find her with surprise.
"Auntie, who are you looking for?"
"You must be Captain Gu's wife?" Chen's mother looked at Zheng Jiayu, who was indeed as gentle and kind as she had been before.
Zheng Jiayu was surprised; they had come to find her?
"Auntie, it's me. Did you need something?"
Chen's mother immediately became serious: "Girl, let's go inside and talk. I do have something to discuss with you."
Seeing Chen's mother's serious and earnest expression, Zheng Jiayu couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Zheng Jiayu stepped aside to let Chen's mother in.
As soon as the two sat down, Chen's mother looked at Zheng Jiayu and said, "Be careful of Chen Jia in the future."
Chen Jia?
Zheng Jiayu instantly realized what was happening and looked at Chen's mother in astonishment: "You and her..."
"Chen Jia is my daughter."
Zheng Jiayu was even more shocked when she heard the news.
Why would Chen's mother, who is also a mother, come to her and tell her to be careful of her daughter?
Seeing Zheng Jiayu's surprised and bewildered expression, Chen's mother smiled wryly and told Zheng Jiayu about how Chen Jia had been deceived by Shen Xizhen.
"I've told Chen Jia everything I needed to say, but she just won't listen. She just thinks Shen Xi is really nice. I had no choice but to come to you to warn you to be careful," Chen's mother said helplessly, explaining her purpose.
Zheng Jiayu didn't quite understand what Chen's mother meant.
Chen Jia is her daughter. Why doesn't she help her own daughter instead of reminding a stranger like herself?
Seeing Zheng Jiayu's confusion, Chen's mother said seriously, "Although Chen Jia is my daughter, I don't want her to do things that hurt other people for some random people."
"Especially since it hurts an innocent person."
"I couldn't persuade Chen Jia, so I can only remind you to be careful. I'm sorry, young lady, it's my fault for not raising my daughter well." Chen's mother stood up and sincerely apologized to Zheng Jiayu.
Zheng Jiayu was taken aback at first, then smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, you've done everything you could, there's no need to blame yourself or feel guilty, this was Chen Jia's own choice."
From her conversation with Chen's mother, Zheng Jiayu learned that Chen's mother was actually a very easy person to get along with.
She is also a very good mother.
She frankly admitted that she favored boys over girls, but she made sure her daughter received everything she should have and learned the necessary skills.
Chen's mother was a good mother, it's just a pity that Chen Jia was an immature daughter.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll be careful, but..." Zheng Jiayu looked at Chen's mother hesitantly.
Chen's mother could tell at a glance what Zheng Jiayu was worried about.
After a long silence, she finally spoke: "If that day really comes, she should pay the price for what she has done. But... I shamelessly beg you, spare her life."
Zheng Jiayu nodded: "Okay, I promise you, consider it repaying the favor of my aunt for telling me about this."
Chen's mother looked at Zheng Jiayu with a wry smile: "That Shen Xizhen looks respectable, but he's actually too cunning. He's not someone that a family like ours can handle. If Chen Jiayu gets involved with someone like that, she'll only suffer in the end."
Zheng Jiayu did not answer Chen's mother's question, but it must be said that Chen's mother saw things very clearly.
The future we see in Chen Jia is the consequence of her disobeying her mother.
She gave birth to a child, but died in despair, without ever having a proper status for herself or her child.
Shen Xizhen refused to acknowledge it and even married a woman of equal social standing.
As for Chen Jia, she was merely a pawn on his chessboard. Once she lost her usefulness, she would naturally be ruthlessly discarded.
Unfortunately, Chen's mother saw it clearly, but Chen Jia did not.
She was still immersed in the illusion of Shen Xizhen being handsome, rich, and gentle.
Zheng Jiayu reached out and patted Chen's mother, whose eyes were full of sadness, and said comfortingly, "Auntie, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As long as Chen Jia sees Shen Xi's true colors, she will turn back."
Chen's mother had no opinion on this.
She understood Chen Jia. Chen Jia was a stubborn girl; once she set her mind on something, she wouldn't turn back even if she got hurt badly.
This time, Chen Jia may really be in trouble.
"You're a good kid. As for Chen Jia, well, that's fate."
If something really happens, it's Chen Jia's own fate, and she can't blame anyone else.
Zheng Jiayu was just trying to comfort Chen's mother and didn't want her to be so upset, but she didn't expect Chen's mother to see things so clearly.
There's absolutely no need for me to comfort myself.
"I've said everything I needed to say, so I'm going back now. Come visit me sometime." Chen's mother was just being polite.
Given Chen Jia's malice towards Zheng Jiayu, Zheng Jiayu certainly wouldn't go there on her own initiative.
"Auntie, there's no need for you to come over and sit for a while. If Chen Jia sees that we have a good relationship, she'll probably have a problem with you."
"It's alright, she brought it on herself." Just thinking about Chen Jia's behavior made Chen's mother very angry; she would rather not have a child like that.
"Auntie, don't be angry. Fortunately, Brother Chen and Sister-in-law Chen are very kind and filial to you, don't you think?"
When talking about her son and daughter-in-law, Chen's mother finally smiled.
Her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and other family members are all very good and filial; she should be content.
People should be content with what they have and not always think about getting more.
Thinking this through, Chen's mother put aside her concern for Chen Jia: "You're right, then I'll be going now. Remember to be careful with Chen Jia. If she comes to see you alone, don't go with her."
Listening to Chen's mother's worried words of advice, Zheng Jiayu felt a mix of emotions.
What a wonderful mother.
Chen Jia is truly unaware of her good fortune.
So what if someone prefers sons to daughters? At least Chen's mother didn't criticize Chen Jia harshly.
