Seeing Jiang Xia caught by her mother-in-law after her failed attempt to escape, Lin Yanwan could only offer a helpless look.
Regardless of what kind of questions he might be asked next, she felt relieved.
The two sisters held hands and walked away into the distance, and Jiang Xia gave up the idea of running away.
"Mom, what's the matter that you asked me to stay? I need to hurry back to study."
Xia Shanshan bluntly exposed him: "You've been wandering around all afternoon, and now you're only thinking about studying? Can't you at least make an excuse to be more focused?"
"By the way, how did you do on the monthly exam?"
"I feel fantastic, this is the best performance I've ever had," Jiang Xia said smugly.
"With such confidence, you're sure to get first place, right?"
"Mom, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to increase your score little by little. I think the future is promising."
"That would be for the best. If the results don't match what you said, then you're on your own!" Xia Shanshan snorted and pulled her son toward the office.
She didn't ask a single question about that girl from beginning to end. Judging from the current situation, the probability that the two of them weren't dating is practically zero.
Therefore, asking would be pointless and would only create anxiety for your son.
As long as their grades don't drop and they encourage and motivate each other, this positive and uplifting relationship is actually a good thing.
The important thing is that she made a very good first impression on this girl today. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also very polite. It wasn't because she hugged her and felt a sense of intimacy, like she was about to hug her future daughter-in-law.
"Mom, you didn't bring me to your office just so you'd ask me to grade your homework again, did you?"
Is there anything wrong with a son helping his mother with chores?
"Of course, of course."
Jiang Xia looked around; the office was empty. As for helping with grading homework, she had done it countless times since childhood.
"Please correct these papers for me," Xia Shanshan said, handing over a perfect score test paper.
He glanced at the name, which was written neatly in pencil as Lin Xiaoman. Truly worthy of being called his sister-in-law.
Although the tests for first graders are very simple, it is very difficult to write beautiful handwriting.
Time passed slowly, and Jiang Xia leisurely corrected the test papers with a red pen.
Xia Shanshan thought her mother would take this opportunity to ask about Lin Yanwan, at least what their relationship was, right? But to her surprise, after all the papers were graded, Xia Shanshan didn't ask a single question.
With his mother's keen sense of smell, he didn't think she wouldn't notice anything amiss.
Does this mean they really condoned his dating a girl at such a crucial time, just before his college entrance exam?
This is something that seems possible no matter how you look at it.
Xia Shanshan packed up the test papers, slung her bag over her wrist, and locked the office door. With Jiang Xia's help today, even her work became much easier.
What would you like to eat tonight?
"My mom made braised pork ribs," he said in one breath.
Just one? Are there any others?
"Then let's have another twice-cooked pork."
Jiang Xia was slightly surprised. His mother seemed to be in a good mood today. Was it because he helped her grade the papers or because she inexplicably hugged her daughter-in-law?
Or perhaps both?
As the mother and son left the teaching building, he deliberately lagged behind by a step and secretly sent a text message to his wife on his phone.
Jiang Xia: "Baby, are you home yet?"
Lin Yanwan: "I arrived a long time ago, how about you?"
Jiang Xia: "I've been helping my mom grade papers, and I'm only leaving school now. By the way, Xiaoman got 100 points on this exam."
Lin Yanwan: "She always had good grades since she was little, which is like me."
Jiang Xia: "As expected of my sister-in-law."
Lin Yanwan: "Shamelessness, what does that have to do with you?"
Jiang Xia: "Xiaoman is your sister, and you're my wife, so how can you say you're not related?"
Seeing that very proud tone, Lin Yanwan was speechless and couldn't find the right words to refute him.
Xia Shanshan glanced at him secretly. This kid had been looking down at his phone since earlier, and she didn't know what he was doing. Judging from the frequency of his typing, he was probably texting that girl.
"Didn't you go home after school at noon?" she asked casually.
The reason for this conclusion is quite simple: Jiang Xia was still carrying his schoolbag.
"Um... I did some homework at school." He made up a casual excuse without batting an eye.
Upon hearing this, Xia Shanshan twitched her face, too embarrassed to expose her son's lie. He had been carrying his schoolbag the whole time, while Lin Yanwan had been empty-handed.
If the two were together from beginning to end, then it's obvious that her son had taken Lin Yanwan home.
The thought of a young man and woman alone in a room, especially at this age when they are most prone to impulsiveness and budding feelings, gave her a headache. What if they accidentally tasted forbidden fruit and didn't take proper precautions, resulting in a fatality?
Or should we be more decisive and just break this couple up with one blow?
To prevent them from making mistakes.
However, considering that Jiang Xia has always been sensible since childhood and has never made a mistake on matters of principle, kisses and hugs are possible, but he probably won't do anything out of line.
Although we've only met once, it's clear that the girl is a very independent person and wouldn't be easily tricked into taking advantage of her.
In any case, for safety's sake, we still need to find an opportunity to bring this up, at least to give him a heads-up.
Lost in thought, the mother and son gradually walked to the market. Xia Shanshan first strolled around to check the freshness of the vegetables and meat before choosing a specific vendor.
