Besides collecting jade, Zhenxiang also loves flowers, so Suping decided to cater to her tastes by choosing a flower shop.
"Pingping, do you think Auntie really likes flowers?"
Song Yifei was a little nervous. This was the first time she had gone home with Xu Yichen since they confirmed their relationship, and it was also a formal day like his mother's birthday.
The flowers in the flower shop were in full bloom, with dewdrops still clinging to them. As soon as you entered, you could smell a faint floral fragrance, which instantly lifted your spirits.
Song Yifei exclaimed in surprise, overwhelmed by the choices.
"Sister Yifei, Auntie likes red roses the most. It would be even better if you wrapped some other flowers around it for decoration."
Seeing that she was about to walk towards the jasmine flowers again, Su Ping quickly pulled her back.
By the time the two finished ordering the flowers and came out, it was already noon. Su Ping randomly booked a restaurant nearby. The price wasn't too expensive, but the reviews were quite high.
The location was easy to find; the waiter at the entrance led the two of them up to the second floor.
After taking their seats, Su Ping circled two dishes she wanted to eat and handed the menu to Song Yifei.
"Pingping, this meal is on me."
Song Yifei felt a little guilty for having called her out to keep her company over the weekend.
After the waiter set out the bowls and chopsticks for the two women, he poured them a glass of water.
Su Ping took a sip of water, which soothed her throat considerably. Upon hearing Song Yifei's words, she quickly shook her head.
"Sister Yifei, who said I helped you for free?" Seeing her somewhat bewildered expression, Su Ping continued.
"Isn't the exam coming up next month? You know me, I don't listen attentively in more than ten classes throughout the whole semester."
"So, could you please come to my house every Friday to tutor me?"
The original owner blindly followed Xu Yichen into this university and blindly chose the same major as him, without caring whether she was interested or not. She was completely obsessed with love.
Tutoring?
Song Yifei blinked, finding the girl in front of her increasingly adorable.
"Don't worry, I will pay the market price!"
According to the plot, before graduation, Song Yifei and Song Qi had to work part-time on weekends in addition to attending classes. Since she had taken up Song Yifei's Friday time, she would make up for the cost of that.
"Please help me. My dad said if I fail another course, he really can't bring himself to go to the teacher. He told me to figure it out myself."
Song Yifei couldn't help but burst out laughing and reached out to touch Su Ping's hair.
"good."
...
Not wanting the original plot to repeat itself, Su Ping went to Xu Yichen's house with gifts the next day.
The two lived not far apart, just across the street, a two or three-minute walk away.
Xu Yichen opened the door for her. He clearly valued today as well, wearing a shirt and suit pants. He had been waiting at the door for who knows how long, and when he saw her, he deflated like a punctured balloon.
"My mom is inside, you go in by yourself."
Hearing the commotion, Zhen Xiang lifted her skirt and walked over, saying, "Let me see who's here?"
This was the first time Su Ping had ever met Zhen Xiang.
She had short, ear-length hair with trendy curls, wore a long red dress, and didn't speak, giving off a very unapproachable vibe.
But what Su Ping saw in those eyes was the joy of not seeing herself for so long.
"Ping'er, how long has it been since you last came? Don't you miss Aunt Zhen?"
Zhen Xiang hugged Su Ping tightly, pressing her face against hers happily.
Happy birthday, Aunt Zhen!
After the two separated slightly, Su Ping handed her the packaged gift box.
Zhenxiang took the jade bracelet, opened it, and beamed with joy when she saw the high-quality jade bracelet inside.
"Ping'er really understands what I like, unlike my unfilial son who waits at the door early in the morning. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a stone waiting for his wife!"
At this point, Zhen Xiang suddenly stopped talking and nervously observed Su Ping's expression.
In her memory, Pingya had always had some feelings for her son, and over the years she had subconsciously regarded her as her daughter-in-law.
But the flower's affection was unrequited, and no one knew what the girl looked like, yet she had captivated his son so completely.
Su Ping laughed nonchalantly: "That's right, it's kind of embarrassing, hahaha."
Zhen Xiang sensed that the girl in front of her was different from before. Previously, whenever another girl appeared with her son, the girl would come to her crying with red eyes, but now—
"Aunt Zhen, let's not stand at the door, let's go inside and sit down, my legs are getting sore."
Zhen Xiang snapped out of her thoughts and pinched Su Ping's cheek.
"You, how come you've lost so much weight in just over half a month? Today I asked Aunt Zhang to make your favorite lotus root and pork rib soup, so be sure to eat plenty later."
In fact, Mr. Xu had already booked a private room outside, but Zhen Xiang always felt uneasy about the food outside. Compared to those outside restaurants, she preferred the cooking skills of her own housekeeper.
Where is Uncle Xu?
I looked around but didn't see Xu Yichen's father; I only saw Aunt Zhang busy in the kitchen.
"He's still on the plane; he won't land until late."
After learning that Xu's father had always harbored feelings for his beloved, Zhen Xiang felt increasingly uncomfortable and naturally gave him a cold shoulder when he mentioned him.
Su Ping nodded and sat down on the sofa with Zhen Xiang.
“Ping, have you seen that girl? Your brother Yichen’s mouth is as hard as a gourd. I’ve been trying to pry it open for ages, but I just can’t get it to open.”
What was bound to happen has finally happened.
Su Ping blinked: "I've met you before."
"Sister Yifei is excellent in both character and academics, and she's also very easy to get along with. Last month, I accidentally fell into the pool, and she was the one who rescued me."
[Host, you're really good at lying through your teeth. It was clearly because the original owner saw Song Yifei and Xu Yichen getting close and got jealous, so she tried to push her into the pool, but she slipped and fell in herself.]
"Oh, is there anything else?" Zhen Xiang became interested and looked at her expectantly after taking a sip of tea.
besides……
Just as Su Ping was about to continue editing, there was another noise at the door.
The two looked over and saw Xu Yichen leading a somewhat shy Song Yifei in.
"Sister Yifei, you're here."
Su Ping quickly got up and went over to take her hand.
Song Yifei gestured for Xu Yichen to let go of her hand, mustered her courage, walked up to Zhen Xiang who was looking her over, and handed her the flowers she was holding.
"Ah, Auntie, I don't know what you like, happy birthday!"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Zhen Xiang did not reach out to take it, but instead looked up and continued to scrutinize the girl in front of her whose ears were completely red.
Compared to Ping Yatou, she is ultimately not up to par.
[Huluwa, what's going on? I haven't been causing any trouble, so why is it still like this?]
[Host, the original plot cannot be changed too much at once, otherwise the small world will collapse.]
