Chapter 65 - A Mother’s Warning (2/2)
ChenYing is also not stupid. After talking for more than half an hour, she also noticed. Anything that she didn’t feel was appropriate, she also didn’t say it. After recovering from her initial shock of seeing YanMingXiu, her doubts gradually deepened.
After YanMingXiu realized her resistance in delving more into ZhouXiang’s past, he stopped asking and came up with a reason to leave.
Immediately after he left, ChenYing and ZhouXiang were left staring at each other speechless.
At this point, ChenYing’s face had no more of the initial excitement; instead, her expression became depressingly heavy.
ZhouXiang carefully tested, “Mom? What’s the matter?”
ChenYing bit her lips and then resolutely asked, “You and him, what is your relationship?” Even a housewife like her who rarely goes out knows that YanMingXiu’s identity is unusual. If it wasn’t for any special reason, why would he have the leisure time to come here to visit her? Does she deserve a special visit from such a big shot?
No matter how she thought about it, it has to be because of her son. But her son is just an unknown minor actor. What does he have that is worthy for a big star like him make that effort? The more ChenYing thought about it, the more unsightly her expression became and the more worried she is.
ZhouXiang was in a daze and for a moment, feeling guilty, “I’ve told you… he’s an investor in a movie that I have a supporting role.”
“You are just a minor supporting role, why should he give you a ride home? Even if he gave you a ride, why come visit me?” ChenYing changed her usual frailness to suddenly becoming a bit aggressive.
ZhouXiang rarely saw ChenYing like this. The first time was when “TanYin” was mentioned. The other time is now. A thought gradually formed in his mind. He calmed down and explained, “We get along well, that’s all there is.”
ChenYing obviously didn’t believe him. With her voice trembling, “Ah Xiang, tell mom the truth. Are you……are you……”
ZhouXiang grabbed ChenYing’s hand and calmly asked, “Mom, the TanYin you mentioned last time, was he my ex-boyfriend?”
ChenYing’s expression suddenly turned paled, with her body uncontrollably shaking, she evaded his gaze, silently confirming.
Sure enough, it is what he thought. With TanYin’s demonic enchanting appearance, anyone can tell he’s GAY at just a glance. Moreover, he still has a lot of skills up his sleeves, knowing how to use himself.
Combined with ChenYing’s reaction and what TanYin had said, ZhouXiang is sure that TanYin is a couple with the original owner of this body. In the end, the owner of this body could not get popular, but TanYin took the opportunities and the two of them parted ways. These facts in the entertainment industry are not uncommon. Women could rely on their bodies to climb up the ladder. Men could also do the same. As a matter of fact, this happens even more than often. Although he was not sure that TanYin was such a person, but after he got popular, he trampled on his old love. So he is definitely capable of this.
ChenYing’s face became slightly distorted, “Ah Xiang, I know that I can’t hide this from you. You told me before that homosexuality is not a disease, that it can’t be cured. You said that is a gene a person is innately born with, it’s their nature. I used to be against it. I wanted to get rid of that gay gene from your mind. But after you were comatized is when I came to realize that nothing is important. No matter what you are, as long as you are healthy and living, that is most important. So, I…I’m not going to have any objections anymore (of ZhouXiang being gay). I know that if it is really like you said, even if you lost your memories, you would still like a man in the future. But…but Xiao Tan won’t do. This child’s moral conduct is not good. When he was with you before, he just wanted to be famous. His feelings toward you are not genuine. Mom’s just worried that when your career takes flight, you will run into him. I always see him on TV. That child’s appearance looks good; he can sweet talk, and knows how to flatter people so everyone is fooled by him. But……you must be careful of him. No matter who you are with, it must not be him.”
ChenYing said a lot of things. In the end, she was somewhat anxious. Her inner turmoil is all written on her face.
ZhouXiang sighed and smiled calmly, “Mom, you’re thinking too much. I really don’t remember that TanYin. You’ve said a lot. Even though I don’t remember the things from the past, I really don’t have feelings for women. But I will remember your words and not get too close to TanYin.” He thought, if ChenYing knew that he had already met TanYin, she would be so upset. But this is something he can’t hide for long. ChenYing will sooner or later know that he and TanYin are playing supportive roles for the villain in a movie.
But, however long he can hide this from her; then let it be. He didn’t want to upset ChenYing so soon.
ChenYing took a deep breath and said anxiously, “Ah Xiang, that President Yan…”
“Mom, we are definitely not together. There is no such thing. Someone like him, how could he like me? We are just colleagues.” Perhaps because he was guilty, he said all these words very quickly. Afterwards, he felt that he had over-explained. It is inevitable that he looked like he was trying to mask it. But it is impossible to take back what was said. He felt that although he has no great wisdom, he had always been smart…with the exception of matters relating to YanMingXiu. Only with matters relating to YanMingXiu would he seem to always be out of control, making him so hopelessly stupid.
Sure enough, ChenYing’s eyes flashed a trace of blemish. She knew that forcing ZhouXiang is useless so she just said, “Ah Xiang, you are right. It is impossible for someone like him to look upon us with our backgrounds. I don’t care what’s going on with the two of you, but son… you have to remember, you must see clearly into the person’s heart. Be smart and don’t let people play you.”
The worry in ChenYing’s eyes is quite obvious. This worry stems from a mother who is deeply considerate of her son, regardless of everything else. This made ZhouXiang felt touched.
If he can be like any ordinary person, having experienced parents who would warn him a bit, perhaps he may not be so lost.
Unfortunately, he did not have that. Furthermore, he sank into a complete mess.
While in a daze, ChenYing caressed his face, “Son, mom has no objections in you finding a boyfriend. You’re also not young. If there is a good boy, you could……bring him back. As long as he has a good character and is dependable, mom won’t object.” After ChenYing finished saying this, she let out a long sigh.
