Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Charlie Thompson nodded.

Mrs. Thompson pointed to the sofa next to her and said, “Sit down.” Charlie sat down on the sofa.

“How long have you been dating Ye Jun?” asked Mrs. Thompson.

“Three months.’

Mrs. Thompson was not surprised at all, “I guessed it.”

“Do you not like her, Grandma?” Charlie asked.

“I don’t really like her,” Mrs. Thompson was straightforward, “I’ve been through a lot in my life, and I’ve seen all kinds of people. I had a feeling that your girlfriend wasn’t as simple as she seems the moment I met her.”

Charlie didn’t say anything.

Mrs. Thompson looked at him, “What do you think?”

Charlie said, “I’m quite serious about her.”

“It’s right to be serious, whether it’s friendship or love, you have to take it seriously.” At this point, Mrs. Thompson paused, “But the premise of being serious is that the other person is also serious. Only when both parties are fully committed does love make sense.”

“You’re right.” Charlie nodded.

Mrs. Thompson continued, “People grow through experiences, so when you’re with Ye Jun, keep your guard up and don’t fully trust her. And bringing her home to meet your parents after only knowing each other for three months is too childish. How many times have both of you met during these three months, and do you really know each other? This is not only being irresponsible to yourself but also to her! ”

Facing these questions, Charlie was almost speechless.

He hadn’t thought about it that much; he just felt that Ye Jun could be someone he’d continue down the road with, which was why he brought her to meet his parents.

“So, what do you suggest?”

Outside, Charlie was an invulnerable and upright lawyer.

In front of Mrs. Thompson, Charlie was like an immature child, always seeking advice from her.

“If you like her, just go ahead and continue dating. After all, who hasn’t dealt with a few bad people in their lives?”

Some experiences were necessary, or one would never grow up.

Most importantly, Charlie seemed to like Ye Jun a little.

Since he liked her, he would definitely not change his mind because of Mrs. Thompson’s words.

Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches.

At this point, just giving a little reminder would be enough.

In the end, Mrs. Thompson added, “But remember to keep some distance. If you give her your full sincerity, you’ll lose.”

Speaking with smart people was very simple.

Charlie got the point right away, “Alright, Grandma. I got it.”

Mrs. Thompson looked at Charlie and said with a smile, “If only Edward were as smart as you.”

“What’s wrong with Bob?” Charlie asked.

Mrs. Thompson pinched her temple, “Just mentioning him gives me a headache.’

Fortunately, Mandel Thompson was there to shoulder the responsibility. If the Thompson Clan only had Edward, there would be no need to even look tor Viola Thompson.

“Do you have anything else, Grandma?” Charlie asked.

Mrs. Thompson shook her head, “That’s all.”

“Then I’ll go look for Ye Jun.”

“Mhm.”

Ye Jun and Elena Williams were having an enthusiastic conversation. Elena had a nice temperament; although she was a rich wife, she had few problems. In addition, Ye Jun was very careful with her words, always agreeing with Elena, so Elena had a good impression of her.

“Charlie is here.’

Ye Jun looked back and saw the handsome and extraordinary Charlie walking towards them.

She was actually quite curious why Charlie would fall for her.

“Mom.”

Elena smiled, “Since you’re here, you should accompany Ye Jun.”

Ye Jun said, “Auntie, I should head back.”

“Why are you in such a hurry? Stay for dinner and then leave.” Elena insisted.

Ye Jun knew that she had to leave a good impression on the Thompson Clan during her first visit. Staying for lunch was fine, but if she stayed for dinner, they would definitely think she was too easy to get.

She might not be an extremely beautiful woman, but she wasn’t unwanted either.

It was all about balance.

She needed to maintain it when necessary.

Ye Jun explained, “Tomorrow is Monday, I need to prepare for class when I get back. ”

Elena said, “I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare dinner early so we can eat sooner, and you’ll still have time to prepare for class.”

Without waiting for Ye Jun’s response, Charlie said, “Then let me drive you back. ”

Ye Jun silently cursed Charlie for being clueless.

Although she had said she wouldn’t stay for dinner, couldn’t Charlie try to persuade her to stay?

Such an typical straight man!

Ye Jun smiled and said, “Okay.”

Charlie looked at Elena, “Mom, I’m going to take her home first.”

“Drive safely,” Elena reminded them..
