Lin Yulan didn't expect it to be so serious, and her face turned pale.
What she wanted to do from the beginning to the end was to give her daughter some help, not to hold her daughter back, nor to hold Rong Wanting back.
But the more she came into contact with the world that did not belong to her, the more she felt that no matter what she did, it was wrong.
Seeing that Lin Yulan seemed frightened, Rong Wanting comforted her, "Mom is only talking about the worst-case scenario. Just remember that Lu Zheng is your son-in-law. If you treat him as half a son, nothing will go wrong."
Seeing that Lin Yulan didn't say anything, Rong Wanting regretted her harsh words. "It doesn't matter if there are mistakes. Mom is here, I..."
"Mom, please teach me. I will study hard." Lin Yulan looked at Rong Wanting seriously.
"I don't want to hold Weiwei back."
Rong Wanting breathed a sigh of relief and held Lin Yulan's hand. "You are my daughter, of course I will teach you."
While she was learning how to be a mother to a daughter, her daughter had already become a good mother.
Rong Wanting didn't want Lin Yulan to stay in such a fearful and uneasy mood for too long, so she took the initiative to ask, "Do you know why Bater prepared roasted lamb for us tonight?"
"Because the food I cooked for lunch was delicious, he wanted to reciprocate." This is what Bater said at the time.
Rong Wanting smiled and said, "This is just one of the smaller reasons. If he thinks it tastes good, he can just send the lamb to his home. He wants to make it himself because he wants to show off."
"What to show?" Lin Yulan was confused.
Rong Wanting looked at her daughter and sighed. She was already in her thirties and had a family. She shouldn't be so stupid.
"That Bater has taken a fancy to Weiwei's roommate."
"Ah?!" Lin Yulan looked at Rong Wanting in shock. "That's impossible. They just had a meal together. How could..."
Rong Wanting leaned back in her chair and said with a smile, "Yes, during the whole meal, that Bater looked at Xia Yu more than ten times."
"Why do you think he wanted to roast lamb tonight? It's because he had other motives. He wanted to make sure that Xia Yu would stay home that night, so he specifically asked everyone about their preferences."
Lin Yulan frowned, "Why is he so, so..."
Lin Yulan didn't know what to say, but, "He looks to be thirty, maybe he has kids and is married, but Xia Yu has a beautiful daughter."
In Lin Yulan's opinion, the two were extremely mismatched.
When she thought about the man who was already married but still flirted with a young girl, the little good impression Lin Yulan had of Bater disappeared instantly.
"No, if he really likes Xia Yu, I..."
"Don't worry." Rong Wanting interrupted Lin Yulan, "We still don't know what's going on. Nothing has been determined yet. Let's wait and see. Maybe I'm just overthinking it."
Lin Yulan nodded silently.
While the two were talking here, Su Jianwei and the other two were also chatting in the small study, but Xia Yu was a little upset, especially when she recalled the look Bater gave her when he asked her about her taste.
She was very familiar with that kind of look. She had seen countless such looks since she was a child, but Bartel's look was more direct and honest. He didn't have the kind of desire to strip you of your clothes and embarrass you.
However, Xia Yu still felt uncomfortable, and she was afraid that if she told Su Jianwei and Shan Dandan, they would think she was too narcissistic, so she was worried about how to say goodbye.
"Xia Xia, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Yu looked at Su Jianwei who was concerned about him and said, "Well, it's getting late. I want to go back to the dormitory."
Su Jianwei looked at Xia Yu in surprise, "Don't you want to eat roasted whole lamb tonight?"
Xia Yu swallowed silently and said, "No more eating. I'm going back to finish my manuscript."
Su Jianwei didn't make things difficult for Xia Yu, but said, "Okay, my mother still has some fried lotus flowers left, I'll bring them back to you."
"No, I..." Xia Yu felt a little embarrassed that he was eating and taking things at the same time.
"It's okay, take it with you."
Su Jianwei took Xia Yu to pick up the fried lotus flowers, and then thought about driving to send Xia Yu off.
She had placed the car keys on the table in the main hall in the front yard, so she took Xia Yu to the front yard first.
It’s not known whether it was a coincidence or intentional, but when Su Jianwei took the car keys, Lu Zheng and Bater just came out of the study in the front yard.
Seeing the two of them, Lu Zheng asked, "What's wrong?"
"My roommate wanted to go back to the dormitory to finish her manuscript, so I took her back."
When Bater looked at him, Xia Yu hid beside Su Jianwei.
"I just happened to be going to pull sheep, let me give your classmate a ride."
Su Jianwei frowned slightly, feeling that Bater was a little out of line. She looked at Bater and said, "No need, I can do it myself."
She was not a fool, and of course she could see that Bater was interested in Xia Yu.
Bater touched his hair and said with a smile: "Don't mind me, sister-in-law, I want to ask if classmate Xia Yu has a partner?"
Xia Yu swallowed and couldn't help but grab Su Jianwei's arm with both hands.
Su Jianwei sensed Xia Yu's fear and looked at Bater and said, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."
Lu Zheng did not speak for Bater, but leaned against the door frame, as if he was laughing at Bater's joke.
Bater looked at Su Jianwei and Xia Yu's defensive looks and said seriously, "I just told Lao Lu that if Xia Yu doesn't have a partner, I want my sister-in-law to introduce us to someone."
Su Jianwei and Xia Yu were looking at Bater with something they couldn't describe at this moment.
"I'm not a bad person, sister-in-law and classmate Xia Yu don't have to be afraid." He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, even if you don't believe me, you should believe in your man."
Su Jianwei glanced at Lu Zheng beside him hesitantly, and the suspicion in his eyes made Lu Zheng stand up straight.
He touched his nose. Did he look so untrustworthy?
But it happened suddenly. Bater had just told me that he wanted to get to know Xia Yu through Su Jianwei, and I hadn't discussed it with her yet, but Bater said it himself.
Bater passed by Su Jianwei and looked at Xia Yu behind her and said, "Xia Yu, my name is Bater. I'm 27 years old, a little older than you, but I'm unmarried, have no children, and no partner."
There was no way. Ever since he showed his interest in Xia Yu, Su Jianwei and Xia Yu had a defensive look on their faces, as if he was trying to get the upper hand over a young girl.
He always felt that he was not very old, of course, the premise was that he could not be compared with Xia Yu.
"I own a company, my family has a ranch, and my family loves their wives. If Xia Yu is interested, we can get to know each other first. If it's a good match, we can talk about it. If it's not, I won't bother her."
"Not suitable." Xia Yu said without hesitation: "I don't like you."
Bartel was stunned for a moment, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he asked seriously, "What is it about me that you don't like?"
Xia Yu swallowed his saliva and mustered up the courage to say, "You look a little fierce."
