Jin Jing’s idea was too optimistic; he never dreamed that his mother would soon come knocking at his door. And she was furious about it, demanding to see Meng Chengjun immediately.

"Mom, can you stop messing things up? My head’s about to explode now, and if you keep messing things up, I’ll have no choice but to run away."

Jin Jing said helplessly as he tried to stop the middle-aged noblewoman from going out to find Meng Chengjun. He couldn’t figure out how his mom knew about Meng Chengjun’s existence, and the two were at a stalemate and could only resort to "a big fight."

"No way, I want to see my future daughter-in-law. The child is already on the way, and you’re still keeping it from me. No matter what, the child must be born. This is non-negotiable, I tell you, absolutely non-negotiable."

Mrs. Jin’s gaze was firm, and she stared at Jin Jing with intense anger.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Jin Jing didn’t dare to talk back to his mom, especially since the matter with Meng Chengjun was real, and he was always looking for a suitable solution.

"This is my personal business, you don’t need to worry. There’s no need for you to meet her, why would you want to see her?"

"Why would I want to see her..."

With this, Mrs. Jin’s face grew more serious, and she showed a dazed expression, staring blankly at her son: "Look at you, dating an actress is fine, but now you have a pregnant woman involved. How can I be relieved? I’m just not reassured."

Jin Jing felt very guilty hearing his mother’s words.

He understood his mother’s meaning and her concerns. But no matter what, Xu Jiaojiao was still his legitimate girlfriend, and as for Meng Chengjun, if she wasn’t pregnant, she’d be insignificant. So, Grandma grabbed Mom’s arm to stop her from leaving.

"Do you want Dad to find out about this too?"

Bringing Dad into the conversation suddenly shocked Jin Jing, feeling threatened. He felt indescribably distressed, and stared seriously at Mom with displeasure.

"Alright, alright, stop threatening me with Dad. He can’t just come back from the United States right away."

Whenever Dad is mentioned, Jin Jing’s mood doesn’t improve, seeing Mom insistently refuse to relent in her stance. So he resorted to coaxing with some sweet talk.

"If I call Dad now, see if he doesn’t fly right back immediately."

Mrs. Jin’s threatening tone made Jin Jing see no hope. He became upset, turned around, and sat on the sofa looking thoroughly troubled.

"I’m an adult, not an underage kid under eighteen. I can handle everything, you really don’t need to meet her. You’re my own mom; I don’t want to discuss it anymore."

Mrs. Jin saw her son wanted to flip out and said helplessly: "At least let me know who she is. When did she get pregnant? I may not see her in person, but I need to know your situation."

"What situation? There is no situation between me and Meng Chengjun. You know her name, just let it be. You really don’t need to meet her, she’s just a very ordinary woman."

Jin Jing appeared extremely impatient. As a mother, Mrs. Jin understood why he didn’t want to mention it. It most likely had something to do with Xu Jiaojiao, so she asked in a roundabout way.

"Tell me, how are things between you and Jiaojiao now? Don’t bully her all the time."

"I, I didn’t bully her. She just doesn’t really want to talk to me at the moment... Hey, Mom, stop asking; I don’t want to talk about it." Jin Jing simply buried his head, blocking his ears from hearing anything.

Mrs. Jin shook her head helplessly: "Alright, alright, I won’t say, won’t ask anymore. I’m also too lazy to ask about your matters. You can’t handle one woman, and now there’s another one involved; look at what you’re like now."

Listening to his mother’s criticism, Jin Jing did not refute.
