Passionate Love After Marriage With The White Moonlight Movie Queen

Chapter 10: Moan, Chirp

When Shen Qingzhi brought the person home, Shen Wangshu had already placed several plates of half-cooked dishes on the table.

She reached out to take the vinegar and patted Shen Qingzhi's arm with the other hand.

"Yao'er, you're finally back. Mommy has been waiting for this bottle of vinegar for the feast today."

Shen Qingzhi's arm, which had already stopped hurting, was struck by her mother, and the pain almost made her burst into tears.

Shen Wangshu noticed the injury and exclaimed, "Oh, how did you hurt your arm? Wife, Yao'er is injured. Come and bandage her up."

Although Shen Qiong usually wore a stern face, she was skilled in delicate tasks like these. She had even made dolls for her two daughters in the past.

However, Shen Qiong was known for being strict, and Shen Qingzhi hadn't gotten along well with her since she was sensible.

Shen Qingzhi was frightened when she heard that her tigress mother was going to attend to her wound, so she quickly refused.

"No, it's fine, Mom, I can take care of it myself."

While speaking, Shen Qiong appeared with a stern face, holding a medical kit. She was obedient to her wife but spared words like gold with her daughter. "Go sit on the sofa."

Seeing Shen Qingzhi's resistance, Gu Jinrong timely stepped in.

"Auntie, how about I take care of it?"

Only then did the elderly couple in the Shen family realize that there was another person in the room, and they both recognized Gu Jinrong.

Shen Wangshu was the first to react.

"Oh, Jinrong is here too. Sorry for my rudeness. I'll go and stir-fry a few more dishes now."

Shen Qingzhi wanted to persuade her birth mother not to continue producing dark cuisine, but she couldn't stop her mother's rush to the kitchen.

In the living room, Shen Qiong stayed behind, her gaze shifting between Shen Qingzhi and Gu Jinrong.

"Do you want her to dress the wound, or do you want me to do it?"

With an unquestionable tone, Shen Qiong made it clear that she had no choice. She reluctantly pointed to Gu Jinrong and said, "Her."

Sitting on the sofa, Shen Qiong's injured arm hung in the air, being carefully attended to by Gu Jinrong. The abrasions on her arm caused by the sand were scary-looking, but not severe. She had already cleaned it briefly at the police station earlier.

However, for dressing the wound, it was necessary to clean it with alcohol.

Skin injuries are naturally painful, and Shen Qiong, being delicate by nature, couldn't help but pull her arm back when the cotton swab soaked in alcohol touched the wound, crying out in pain.

Gu Jinrong felt sorry for her, blowing gently on the wound while apologizing and promising to be more gentle.

But this only resulted in Shen Qingzhi's eyes welling up with tears, making her look even more aggrieved, moaning and chirping non-stop.

Shen Qiong, who was observing nearby, couldn't stand the hypocrisy. With a stern face and a cold voice, she said, "If you don't stop this behavior, I'll take over."

The threatened Shen Qingzhi's lips pursed, temporarily behaving obediently.

Gu Jinrong's movements became even gentler and more careful. Without Shen Qingzhi's fuss, the subsequent disinfection and bandaging went smoothly.

Her technique was professional and meticulous, even Shen Qiong couldn't help but sigh in inferiority.

Shen Qiong quietly observed from the side and took the opportunity while Gu Jinrong was dressing the wound to engage in seemingly casual conversation.

"Jinrong, your wound-dressing technique is quite professional. Have you learned it before?"

Gu Jinrong didn't dare to neglect her mother-in-law. Her hands didn't stop moving, and she was very humble in her words.

"Auntie, you flatter me. I often get injured during filming, and sometimes the conditions are limited, so I have to dress my own wounds. Practice makes perfect.."

Shen Qiong nodded slightly upon hearing this. "Indeed, you're a capable child. You said you also act in films, just like Shen Qingzhi. Why is there such a big gap between people?"

She finished speaking and glanced at her own daughter with a look of dissatisfaction.

At this moment, Shen Qingzhi didn't have Shen Wangshu, her strong backing, by her side, so she dared not speak out in anger.

Gu Jinrong noticed Shen Qingzhi's slight moodiness and quickly intervened.

"Auntie, you don't know, actually Qingqing is also very talented. She gained a classic representative role shortly after her debut, and she has many fans who adore her."

"Is that so?" Shen Qiong glanced at Shen Qingzhi skeptically. "But I remember seeing something different online."

Shen Qingzhi's face was filled with discontent, ready to retort, but Shen Qiong cut her off.

"I remember, Jinrong, you had a good relationship with Hanzhi in the past. Hanzhi mentioned that she had a friend who went on a blind date with Shen Qingzhi yesterday..."

"Auntie, that was me." Gu Jinrong met Shen Qiong's meaningful gaze and quickly took over the conversation.

Shen Qiong had already guessed this answer earlier, but she smiled like a sly fox, putting on an elder's composed demeanor.

"I can see that you have a favorable impression of my daughter. Do you have any intention of pursuing a deeper relationship?"

Gu Jinrong's eyes brightened at these words, disregarding the frantic eye signals that Shen Qingzhi was desperately making from the side.

She supported Shen Qingzhi's injured arm with one hand and took out a red booklet* from her bag, which she always carried with her.

*Chinese marriage certificate, looks like a passport only with two photos

"Auntie, to be honest, Qingqing and I had a pleasant conversation yesterday, and now we are legally married."

Shen Qiong was stunned as she took the red booklet and flipped it open. One of the persons in the photo was none other than her troublesome daughter.

Just a moment ago, she was still contemplating in her mind how to win over this ideal daughter-in-law. And now, she was informed that they had already obtained their marriage certificate. This was just too quick.

Seeing Shen Qiong's astonished expression, Gu Jinrong spoke sincerely.

"Auntie, I know this may be abrupt. Please rest assured that I will take good care of Qingqing from now on."

Shen Qiong snapped out of her daze, clasped her hands together, and smiled warmly.

"Not abrupt at all. It's wonderful. This girl has given me a hard time for over twenty years, and now someone is finally willing to take her. As for you, since you're married, don't call me 'Auntie,' call me 'Mom.'"

"Mom." Gu Jinrong quickly adapted to the new title.

Shen Qingzhi: ...

The two of them had just sang in perfect harmony, and she couldn't speak at all, and now she finally had the opportunity to speak.

"Mom, do you have to be so exaggerated? It sounds like nobody wants me."

Shen Qiong, in a good mood now that her daughter is married, also showed a bit of politeness towards Shen Qingzhi.

"I know you're capable now, marrying such an excellent wife. At least I can worry a little less."

Just as these two were in perfect harmony, Shen Qingzhi couldn't get a word in. Now, she finally had a chance to speak.

"Mom, do you have to be so exaggerated? It sounds like nobody wants me."

Shen Qiong, in a good mood now that her daughter was married, also showed a bit of politeness towards Shen Qingzhi.

"I know you're capable now, marrying such an excellent wife. At least I can worry a little less."

"Not that I like to criticize you, but you manage to injure yourself even when going out to buy a bottle of vinegar."

Gu Jinrong sensed the mood and noticed Shen Qingzhi's displeasure, so she quickly stepped in to explain.

"Mom, you misunderstood. Qingqing had an accident this time, but she showed remarkable wit and bravery."

With just a few words, she briefly explained the attack by malicious fans.

After listening, Shen Qiong stared at Shen Qingzhi, her eyebrows furrowing. "I've always said that it's not suitable for someone like you to stay in the entertainment industry..."

She then thought of Gu Jinrong beside her and shifted the conversation.

"Well, since you're already married, I will respect your wishes regarding your work in the future."

"In the future, you should live a good life with Jinrong and also take care of yourself. But now that our address has been exposed, it's indeed not very safe for you to continue living here."

Shen Qingzhi snorted and stared at her own mother, silently criticizing her.

So, the old fox's tail is showing*, huh? I knew you were so eager for my future, always busy arranging my lifelong affairs. It's just that you're tired of having me at home, getting in the way of your little world with Mommy.

*老狐狸尾巴露出来了" (lǎo húli wěiba lù chū lái le) idiomatic expression that means someone's true nature or hidden intentions are being revealed.

Shen Qiong was about to continue speaking when Shen Wangshu entered the room, carrying two dishes from the kitchen.

"What are you all so engrossed in talking about? The food is ready. Let's all sit down and eat while chatting."
