Chapter 1236: Chapter 1235 I Want to Marry Bai Lan Chapter 1236: Chapter 1235 I Want to Marry Bai Lan Zhou Shengting didn’t even think about it before he rejected the idea.

“Mom, my wife will only be Bai Lan, and your daughter-in-law will be her as well. Stop fooling around,” Zhou Shengting said with a frown.

“You’re just too stubborn. You have choices now, and you can compare others because marriage is for a lifetime,” his mother expressed some doubts, wondering if her son had been bewitched.

So adamant and impervious to reason; no matter what she said, he remained unchanged.

It was infuriating to her.

“Mom, with some people, you know you want to spend your life with them from the first glance. That’s how I feel about Bai Lan. So, don’t waste your time. I’m not going to meet anyone else,” Zhou Shengting stated frankly, cutting off his mother’s hopes abruptly.

Zhou Shengting understood his mother very well; she was very assertive, always prioritizing her own views.

“She’s with you for the money, do you understand? And her family status is so much lower than ours; they’re not an appropriate match at all. Are you sure you want such a woman?” Zhou’s mother was so angry that her entire body trembled.

Zhou Shengting’s brows knitted tightly. “Mom, have you been investigating Bai Lan?”

“Uh… no…” Zhou’s mother suddenly found herself at a loss for words, stuttering.

Zhou Shengting immediately understood; his mother had indeed investigated Bai Lan. “When did this happen?”

Zhou’s mother kept silent; she didn’t dare speak up. She felt in the wrong about this matter and didn’t dare to say a word.

The consequences were unimaginable if Sheng Ting found out.

“Mom, when did this take place?” Zhou Shengting asked again, but this time his tone was icy cold, and his whole face darkened.

“Well, 5… 5 years ago,” Zhou’s mother’s voice got lower and lower as she spoke.

She sneaked a glance at Zhou Shengting, fearing his reaction.

Although he was her son, Sheng Ting had always been very decisive and never caused her any worry.

Now that he had grown up, she felt even less able to control him.

“5 years ago?” Zhou Shengting repeated softly, then asked, “That was when you approached Bai Lan.”

It wasn’t a question, but a statement he made with certainty.

Zhou’s mother was terrified by her son’s somber tone.

“I… I did it for your own good. Look, you went abroad afterward and now you are successful,” Zhou’s mother said, her voice revealing her guilt.

Zhou Shengting suddenly wanted to laugh, but the mirth didn’t reach his eyes.

So it was his mother’s doing that Bai Lan changed.

He had wondered why Bai Lan suddenly became heartless back then.

Zhou Shengting’s lips twisted into a mocking smile.

Ah, the fault was his own, wasn’t it?

He had been ignorant and allowed Bai Lan to suffer.

But that was the only time; such a thing would never happen again.

“Mom, I’m going to marry Bai Lan. I hope you understand.” After saying this, Zhou Shengting no longer paid attention to his mother. He stood up and walked away.

Zhou’s mother wanted to say something, but she couldn’t.

After all, she was the one who had been at fault initially.

Yet she couldn’t help feeling resentful. A family background like Bai Lan’s would only drag Sheng Ting down.

She wouldn’t be of any help to him.

Zhou’s mother sat there, sighing. The old saying was true: “A mother can’t control a grown son.”

Sigh…

Zhou Shengting stepped outside, feeling a sense of relief, free from the suffocating atmosphere.

He walked briskly to his car, opened the door, sat inside, and immediately started the vehicle.

Indeed, he couldn’t wait any longer to see Bai Lan, that fool.
