But before he could stand up, he was coldly scolded by Chen Shuhua.

"Stop, sit down!"

There was no other way, so Xu Ziming had to stop and sit down again.

At this moment, he was extremely uneasy, his heart was pounding, and he was very worried.

She frowned and looked at him with a probing look in her eyes, and asked in a somewhat unhappy tone.

"Ziming, Mommy is giving you a chance. If there's anything you haven't told me, tell me now. If you wait until I tell you, the punishment won't be just a little bit."

He swallowed with some difficulty, and his palms were already sweating.

He wasn't sure if she really knew something, but he absolutely couldn't admit it, so he shook his head with a puzzled look.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm not hiding anything from you. Do you have any misunderstandings?"

"Okay, since you don't want to tell me, then I'll tell you." A trace of disappointment flashed across Chen Shuhua's face, then she nodded slightly and said with a stern face.

Then he sighed and continued, "Did you go to the house of that girl named Lin?"

"Also, do you like that girl, the one I met at the mall that day?"

"You don't need to explain, the smell of hot pot on you has already betrayed you!"

I was shocked. I didn't expect that she really knew everything. But how did she know?

He never told anyone.

After a moment's thought, he pretended to be calm and explained with a smile.

Mom, that girl is my friend. Her family runs a hot pot restaurant. The food is delicious and I love it. But I was afraid you wouldn't mind, so I never told you and had to go there secretly. Is that why you misunderstood me? "

But Chen Shuhua waved her hand at him and said in a very sure tone, "I'm not doubting it, I'm sure of it. Are you still helping out in the store?"

When she learned about this, she was so angry that she almost went to that hot pot restaurant.

Her son actually went to work for someone else in a restaurant!

Xu Ziming was confused. How come she knew all this?

"Mom, how did you know that? And even if I helped, it would be okay, right? It's normal for friends to help each other!"

Her face was instantly filled with anger. She stood up from the sofa and pointed at his face, "You still want to lie to me! When have you ever been so nice to a girl? You're still a little naive if you want to lie to your mother!"

"From today on, don't go there again, and don't meet that girl, otherwise I can't guarantee what I will do!"

Xu Ziming also quickly stood up and retorted, "Mom, I said there's really nothing between Lin Qiaoxin and me, you can't do this!"

She folded her arms across her chest, looked at him coldly, and scolded him.

"That's enough! Stop talking. Do you know how much your dad and I expect of you? But look at you, your grades dropped so much this time!"

"You really disappoint me. Go back to your room and review your lessons immediately. If you dare to meet that girl again, I will go find her myself!"

"I know exactly what that kind of girl is thinking. You are too naive!"

It was obvious that she just wanted to get close to him because of his wealthy family, but he was foolishly deceived and even went to help. How stupid!

This was the first time he felt so angry, as if there was a fire burning in his chest. It was also the first time he felt so powerless and helpless, and his hands hanging by his sides suddenly clenched into fists.

He lowered his head, frowned, and retorted, "Mom, Qiaoxin is not that kind of person. She is a very good person. I insisted on going, and she didn't stop me!"

"I promise you, please don't do that. There's really nothing between her and me. She already has a boyfriend she likes. That would only embarrass me for nothing!"

After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs without looking back.

Chen Shuhua looked at him with a frown on her face and some dissatisfaction in her eyes.

…

Lin Qiaoxin, who had already returned home, had no idea that she was almost in trouble.

At this moment, she was listening to songs while thinking about when to go to the city to buy a TV, and then what gift to send to Zhou Chao.

As I was thinking, I actually fell asleep.

I slept until dawn and was a little surprised when I woke up.

I raised my hand and scratched my head, thinking that I must be too tired that's why I was like that.

After washing up and having breakfast in the living room, I told Lin Qiaoyun and the others the time I would go to the city.

After hearing this, the two were extremely happy and kept chattering about it throughout the meal.

After dinner, Lin Qiaoxin went to the kitchen to help wash the dishes.

Huang looked at her, a hint of hesitation flashing across her face. After a while, she spoke, "Qiaoxin! I want to go back to the village to see your father today. I'm really worried about him being there alone!"

She couldn't even sleep well at night and was always worried, so she wanted to go back and take a look.

Lin Qiaoxin felt a little helpless. She didn't expect that she would be the first one to give up.

However, if she had to stop him all the time, she would definitely be worried and unable to sleep at night, so she nodded.

"Okay, if you want to go back and take a look, go ahead. There's no way I could stop you, and I can't stop you!"

A rare, embarrassed smile appeared on her face. She lowered her head while washing the dishes and said, "I'm just worried about your dad. He's a grown man, and he definitely can't take care of himself."

She curled her lips and smiled. She knew she would say that. "So when do you plan to go back? This is a good opportunity to take a day off!"

Huang quickly shook her head. "No, no, there's no need to go through so much trouble. I'll just go back after closing the shop today, and I'll be back soon."
