Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Mother Persuades to Make Peace

Cheng Su took ten days to recuperate before wanting to inspect her various businesses. Qi Taiguo did not agree, but seeing her insistence, he could only accompany her.

Not only that, Cheng Su also sent her mother home, saying that with only two men at home, it was improper for her to be out for so long. As for herself, she was capable of moving around and didn’t need to be waited on.

Mother Cheng also missed home. Watching her daughter and son-in-law being so polite to each other as if they were strangers made her heart uncomfortable. Thinking that leaving might make them more at ease, she agreed.

Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo personally took her to the bus station.

Mother Cheng looked at the couple and said, "In a marriage, there are always quarrels. Your father and I were the same; we bickered our entire lives but still made it through. I may not be educated, but I understand the meaning of the saying ’It takes a hundred years to share a boat, a thousand to share a pillow.’ Marriage is destiny, it’s such fate that brings two people together, and it’s precious. You must cherish it!"

"Mother-in-law, rest assured, I will treat Susu well." Qi Taiguo glanced at Cheng Su as he spoke.

Mother Cheng nodded and then turned to Cheng Su, saying, "You’ve always been headstrong. You need to restrain yourself, think of the difficulties. I’m leaving now, you should also take care of your health, eat well, and avoid cold drinks."

"Hmm."

Mother Cheng hesitated, and Qi Taiguo seeing this, said, "You speak, I’ll go buy a bottle of water for Mother-in-law to drink on the bus."

As soon as he left, Mother Cheng said, "See, Taiguo is so considerate. These past few days, you’ve both been so courteous, it’s painful to watch. Silly girl, divorce is not always the better option. If you were constantly arguing with no love left, a divorce would be understandable. But you both care for each other and yet talk about divorce, it’s like stabbing each other’s hearts. What’s the point?"

Cheng Su replied, "Mom, I understand, we aren’t talking about divorce now."

"You think I don’t know? You’ve both tacitly agreed, probably just going through that ’cooling-off’ period. I watch every day as Taiguo tiptoes around you; a huff or a glance from you, and he doesn’t even dare to speak loudly. A grown man acting like a mouse around a cat, it pains me to see this." Mother Cheng snorted, "If you end up divorcing, you’ll regret it sooner or later. Divorce, unless for fundamental issues, is foolish for any other reason. And if you divorce because of your mother-in-law, that’s a total injustice. If it were any other man, wouldn’t you still have this problem?"

"Mom, I understand all this. You don’t need to say more; I’ll consider everything carefully before acting," Cheng Su said hastily.

Mother Cheng knew her daughter was getting impatient but still added one more thing, "Your mother-in-law, if you don’t get along with her, just keep your distance. After all this, I believe Taiguo understands what kind of person she is and won’t make things difficult for you."

Cheng Suxin absent-mindedly hummed in response.

Mother Cheng saw Qi Taiguo approaching and did not say more. She told them to take care of each other before boarding the bus and leaving.

Watching the vehicle disappear into the distance, Qi Taiguo said to Cheng Su, "I took half a day off, now I have time, shall I accompany you for a walk in the city? You’ve been stuck at home these days and must be bored!"

"No need for a walk, I’ll go check on the restaurant. I haven’t managed anything for several days," Cheng Su said indifferently.

Qi Taiguo’s expression darkened, then he said, "Then I’ll accompany you to the restaurant?"

"No need, you go home and rest. It’s rare that you have time off. I can take the bus there by myself," Cheng Su still refused.

Qi Taiguo pursed his lips.

Cheng Su pretended not to see the gloom in his eyes and hopped onto the bus and left.
