Chapter 1370
Huo Mian nodded . "Let me be straight with you, Mom… you should go out and walk around the city when you have time . Tell Auntie Wu and the others to keep an eye out for quality men around your age, I don't want you to spend the rest of your life alone… Living by yourself is really lonely, and you're not used to living with Qin Chu and I . I know you also don't want to live with Zhixin, so after a while… you'll feel lonely . No matter how well we treat you, you still need a man who can take care of you… So I really hope you can find one who can love you, protect you, and spend the rest of his life with you…"
Upon hearing what Huo Mian said, Yang Meirong looked dumbstruck . "What crazy talk is this?"
"Mom… this isn't crazy talk, and you shouldn't be embarrassed . I understand what you're going through… Zhixin and I love you for opening a grocery store and taking care of us after Uncle Jing died… I want you to find yourself someone to be with not because I don't want to spend time with you… I just want you to be happier . "
"I'm too old for relationships… it'll be embarrassing if word got out… It might hurt you and Qin Chu's reputations…" Yang Meirong sighed heavily . Truth be told, she thought about finding herself a boyfriend . Back then, when her neighbors suggested that she put herself out there and date, she refused because her children were still young and she didn't want them to feel neglected .
Now that Huo Mian and Zhixin were all grown up, she really didn't have to worry about them anymore . However, for some reason, she was too embarrassed to date . She felt like she would be ruining her daughter's reputation and dating was just something a woman of her age couldn't do .
Moreover, her son-in-law was such a successful young entrepreneur, she shouldn't be a burden on him…
All in all, she worried so much that she decided to just not date at all . She never thought that Huo Mian would bring this up…
"Mom… it's the 21st century, you're not going to ruin our reputations… Isn't it normal to care for elders? Plus… those who hire prostitutes and ruin others' marriages are the ones who are morally wrong and ruining their reputations… Your husband died when you were young, so why can't you find yourself a compatible man? Don't listen to others… Anyways, Zhixin and I support you… if Auntie Wu and Auntie Liu want to set you up again, just go and meet him . Don't refuse right away . "
"I can't, I…"
Before Yang Meirong could finish her sentence, Huo Mian immediately changed the subject, "Mom… I'm a little hungry . "
"I'll go make dinner, what do you want you to eat?"
"Your radish meatball soup…" Huo Mian looked at her mother with puppy dog eyes .
