Three o'clock in the afternoon, North City Lightyear Paradise Street.

Extremely reluctantly pushed into the café by his mother, Chu Xu stood firm and straightened his collar, trying to make himself look less embarrassed.

"Let's go, everyone is waiting for you." Brother Chu Heng walked up from behind, bumped her shoulder, and said.

Seeing that she was still standing in place, her mother stepped forward and grabbed her again, grabbed her by the hand, and pulled her forward.

Before he got closer, he heard Chu Heng talking and laughing flatteringly.

When I looked up, I was a slightly bald middle-aged man about 30 years old, and his dough face looked quite kind, and he could vaguely see his somewhat fat figure sitting behind the table.

"Come on, Brother Li, let me introduce to you, this is my sister Chu Xu, this is my mother." Chu Heng saw that she was being taken over, and glanced at her without a trace, before introducing with a smile.

"Mom, Xiaoxu, this is Brother Li, Li Shoumian."

"Hello Miss Chu! Hello Auntie! I'm Li Shoumian, just call me Shoumian. The dough-faced Li Shoumian stood up and greeted him very warmly, he didn't look tall, just 170.

Out of basic politeness, although Chu Xu didn't speak, he nodded with a strong smile.

"Shoumian is good, I'm really embarrassed, my Xiaoxu has something to do at work, and it's a little late, haven't you waited long?" The mother spoke very enthusiastically and explained to Li Shoumian with a smile.

"Auntie is fine, sit down."

Not long after they sat down, Chu Heng and his mother took the opportunity to find a reason to leave.

For a moment, the scene became a little awkward.

"What does Miss Chu usually hope to do on weekends?" Li Shoumian was the first to break the silence.

"If you don't do anything, just work overtime." Chu Xu's attitude was a little cold.

"It seems that Miss Chu's work is very busy, I heard your brother say it, I heard that she is a copywriter, right?" Li Shoumian laughed dryly twice and asked.

"Hmm." Raising his eyes and looking at him, although the other party was very self-contained, Chu Xu was still ready to be straightforward, so he sat up straight and said, "Mr. Li, I think, we are not suitable......"

.....

After settling the bill, just two steps out of the café, Chu Xu received a call from his mother.

She didn't even think about hanging up, she just connected.

As expected, as soon as it was connected, there was a burst of scolding and scolding, and there seemed to be a complaint from his brother Chu Heng next to him.

"Mom, I met the people you said, and I met them, and the person who finally decided whether to continue to get along with me was me, not you." Chu Xu said in a calm voice.

"What do you call meeting people?! As soon as we left, you shook your face and quit, people said, 'I can't climb high', where do you let me put my face in the future, where do you let your brother put his face in the future? There was still accusations on the other end.

"Mom, you didn't ask for my opinion beforehand, I went, and explained the situation to others, I think I have shown enough respect for the other party, if the other party feels offended again, I can apologize to him." Chu Xu's tone didn't hear too many ups and downs, as if he was just stating a fact.

Soon, Chu Heng's car stopped on the side of the road.

The car door slammed open, and he saw him striding down, grabbing her by the hand, and dragging her to the car.

"You let go!" Chu Xu's center of gravity was lowered, and he tried to pull his hand back, and said in a low voice.

Chu Heng didn't speak, only dragged her to the side in a muffled voice.

The difference in strength was too big, so Chu Xu had no way to resist at all, and it was not good to make an ugly noise on the street, so he had to straighten up and follow his steps to the car.

As soon as she got into the car, her mother saw her and raised her hand to give her a few strokes on the shoulder.

"You dead woman! Your brother bothered to find you a blind date, I don't know how to cherish it at all, I walk on the front foot, and you will mess with me on the back foot! ”

"Don't worry about it at all! I really gave birth to a debt collector! ”

Chu Xu's eyebrows were lowered, and she didn't speak, just letting her palms fall on her shoulders and backs again and again.

Chu Heng in front of him just drove silently, and he didn't even glance behind him, as if he was the only one in the entire space, ignoring the situation behind him.

"You dead woman! How good the conditions are! It's good to be able to see you, look at you, what's the use of having an education, it's not good to work, so I barely look like me, I don't know who this character is, and I don't listen to you if you're tough and stubborn......"

"Look at the conditions of our family, your dead ghost father has been stumbling for half his life, and he didn't leave anything for our mother before leaving, your mother and I worked hard to pull you up, and you have to worry about your lifelong affairs when you are old, with you two debt collectors, you have always been a heart that can't be fucked......"

For a while, only the sound of mother's counting and slapping remained in the car.

Chu Xu still didn't speak, only closed her eyes tightly and pursed her lips, she didn't want her mother's concern at all.

From childhood to adulthood, there was a difference in the love her mother gave her and her brother.

Fortunately, she has her father's love, so there is not much of a gap, it's nothing more than that you have a mother and I have a father.

Five years ago, since her father left, her mother regarded her brother as her only support in this life. This contrast is even more than usual.

For her daughter, the so-called concern revealed has always been manipulative and controlling, but she has never asked once what you really want.

What her mother gives is always what she thinks is good. In the name of your own good, they manipulate you and manipulate you. I can't allow her to have a trace of emotion, and I can't allow you to express your thoughts, one is that you don't understand your mother's love, and the other is that since that's the case, I don't care about you anymore.

Since she was a child, she was tired of hearing such words, and she was obviously not like this to her brother.

It wasn't until she grew up, read more books, and learned more truths that she understood.

Not all parents in the world are qualified.

Just like mothers, the biggest misconception that many of us have about mothers is that they think that a woman can be a good mother by virtue of her natural motherhood.

No, it's too far away. Every woman must go through a long road of self-exploration and become a mature, independent and intelligent person, so that it is possible to give her children powerful and warm emotions and lead them to independence.

Again, love is a kind of ability.

For the mother, the love for her brother has been exhausted, and what is invested in her is more an extension of the desire to control.

Fortunately, she doesn't ask for anything, just fulfill the obligations of her children.

"Xiao Xu, you disappointed me too much..."

"Xiao Xu, I don't take you to play with your brother like this, I don't want to go to you earlier! It's so bad that I don't have the face to see Brother Li now. As soon as his mother's words fell, Chu Heng, who had been silent and watching the play for a long time, finally spoke.

"Oops, oops!" As she spoke, her mother slapped her on the back a few more times.

"Mom, brother, don't worry about me anymore, I want to make my own decisions in the future." Chu Xu turned his head, looked at his mother, and then at his brother who was driving in front of him, and said.

"What do you mean don't worry about you, I'm your mother, I don't worry about you and who I worry about!"

"I have to make my own decisions in the future, don't decide anything for me, I won't come again in this kind of blind date in the future." Chu Xu still said in a deep voice without changing his face.

"You dead daughter! What are you talking about! ... I'll hit you..."

"Xiao Xu! What are you talking about, isn't Mom letting you go on a blind date for your own good? ”

It's a pity that only Chu Xu's silence responded to them.
