Chapter 915: Chapter 915: That Shen Congwen Is a Woman

Chen Ming sat there, not moving for a long time. At this moment, Chen Ming’s mother came over to discharge her son from the hospital.

Chen’s mother approached with a beaming face, because she had come over early. She was about to open the door when she saw that the young girl, Song Jia, was also inside...

This was such a good thing that Chen’s mother was almost dizzy with joy, and she waddled away excitedly.

But when she came back, the person was gone.

Chen’s mother looked around, leaned closer, and asked her son: "Where’s Beauty? Why isn’t she here anymore? She was obviously here when I came just now."

Chen Ming had already washed his face and wiped his hands. Looking at his mother, he knew what she was thinking and explained calmly: "She sprained her ankle yesterday, so she spent the night here. There’s nothing else, Mom, things are not possible between me and her."

"Why is it not possible?" Chen’s mother raised her voice, showing quite a bit of exasperation: "Chen Ming, are you stupid? Even if a girl is angry, it doesn’t mean she wants to really break things off. If she’s willing to stay here, it shows she wants you to coax her, but you didn’t even try to coax her and just let her go. Where are you going to find such a beautiful wife now?"

Chen Ming spoke in a hoarse voice: "It was never a tangible thing. Mom, you’re overthinking."

Chen’s mother glared at her son: "I wonder why you’re so clueless. The girl has already made a concession by staying here overnight. You didn’t make things clear and just slept like a log."

She was very anxious: "If it were an ordinary guy, he would have settled it long ago."

She pulled at her son’s ear: "Why did I give birth to such a blockhead."

Chen Ming was quite speechless, "Mom."

Chen’s mother was still angry: "I don’t care, you should settle this. After we’re discharged, we’ll visit Mr. Zhou to see her. Properly apologize and don’t let the relationship get cold."

Chen Ming couldn’t resist her, so he agreed.

Afterward, he packed up, left the hospital, and along the way, Chen’s mother kept thinking about what gift to bring over to not lose etiquette, while Chen Ming said nothing.

After about an hour’s drive, they arrived at Zhou Yunchen’s villa. Zhou Yunchen wasn’t there; it was Shen Congwen who received them.

Chen’s mother didn’t recognize her and stared at her belly, swallowing: "Nowadays, even handsome guys can get pregnant?"

Chen Ming laughed and cried: "Mom, Shen Congwen is female."

Chen’s mother’s gaze was still fixed: "So she’s a woman."

She couldn’t help but look her up and down and finally said: "She’s really handsome."

Chen Ming said nothing; Shen Congwen didn’t mind, sipping tea, "You’re here to see Duoduo, right? She’s not home."

Chen Ming was stunned: "Why isn’t she home? Didn’t she injure her foot?"

Congwen smiled: "She’s been very busy these days. She has scenes she must shoot."

Chen Ming was silent for a long time: "Where’s the set?"

Congwen spoke lightly: "Chen Ming, as Duoduo’s sister-in-law, I’ll speak fairly. Initially, neither of you handled things well, it was balanced out. But this time, even as slow-witted as you may be, you should understand that a girl who is so busy but keeps going to the hospital must have some feelings, right? She sometimes films till ten at night and then goes to the hospital. Can you really feel nothing? If you do, you should keep some distance from Jiang Chaoge, otherwise, no girl will have such stamina, especially since she was always a proud girl."

Chen’s mother followed up by scolding Chen Ming thoroughly.

Congwen smiled: "Explanations are useless now; she only believes what she sees. As for the future, just let fate decide. Oh, I forgot to tell you, the producer of this film has been pursuing her. He’s handsome and seems nice; it might work out."

Chen’s mother suddenly felt bad and glared at her son fiercely.

The young girl kept going to the hospital every day to see him, yet he acted like a log, still comforting Jiang Chaoge. Does he not know Jiang Chaoge is toxic? Just because Mr. Wang doesn’t like her, he should stay away, right? Absolutely no sense.

Finally, the two left, each lost in their thoughts.

Luckily, Chen’s mother still cared for her son and only blamed him a few times before stopping.

She also understood deep down that Chen Ming had missed the best opportunity. Now that someone else was pursuing her, why would she look back?

Halfway through the drive, Chen Ming suddenly asked the driver to take his mother home, while he got off the car himself.

Chen’s mother opened the window and shouted at him: "Chen Ming, where are you going?"

"To the shooting range." Chen Ming spoke calmly, then hailed a taxi.

Chen’s mother was furious, but scolding this son of hers was useless.

Chen Ming reached the shooting range and vented some indescribable emotions inside, bang bang bang.

He was a fool, never had a real romantic relationship; the only time he did, the young girl was chased away by him.

He practiced until night, then took a taxi to the film set, wanting to take Song Jia home.

However, after waiting outside for a while, she came out—not alone, but held in the arms of a young, handsome man, who then placed her in a sports car.

During this, Song Jia did see Chen Ming. Her gaze lingered briefly, then she lowered her head.

Chen Ming lit a cigarette, smoked it, and watched that car slowly drive away...

He said nothing, and didn’t contact her again; even when his mother spoke to him, he never responded or argued. Later, he began to attend matchmaking events, meeting this one and that one, sometimes having dinner, sometimes watching a movie, but never settled down.

Beicheng is very big, but Beicheng is also small; he ran into Song Jia again. She seemed to be with that producer, eating together, she rode in his car, and she never drove herself anymore.

Her foot must be healed, the hurt in her heart should have healed too...

Chen Ming muddled through for a week or so, got scolded badly by King Jingyao when he went to the office.

Chen Ming stood there, taking it silently.

Old Wang’s brother was really disappointed, sneering: "Is it just for a woman that you’re so unambitious, look at you, can’t even manage a woman."

Tomorrow, the old man would get married, originally it was supposed to be a joyful occasion, but now, seeing Chen Ming’s perpetually gloomy face every day, he couldn’t feel happy about it.

Chen Ming was always looking down, dared to argue a bit: "I don’t have Mr. Wang’s abilities."

King Jingyao sneered coldly: "Really? I think you’re quite capable, don’t you need a girl to say ’Chen Ming, I want to be with you’?"

Chen Ming said nothing.

King Jingyao pinched out the cigarette he was holding, looked at Chen Ming: "Tomorrow is my big day, you’ll be fully responsible for the security; make sure it’s done beautifully, you’ll get a promotion afterward... Stop thinking about romance all the time."

"Yes." Chen Ming nodded.

Old Wang’s brother patted his shoulder: "If you do well in your career, women won’t be lacking, choose wisely, don’t settle casually, look at me, didn’t I wait several years for Lin Hua?"
