Chapter 386: With the guidance of a master
Bai Zhi's words made Wang Shufen give her a thumbs up in her heart once again.
She smiled and said, "Xiao Zhi, you're absolutely right. You young people are so clever. Let's do it that way."
"You should rest now. I won't bother you anymore. I'll call you when the food is ready."
Wang Shufen went downstairs in a good mood.
Although her silly daughter is still completely oblivious to the scumbag, she will soon be able to bring her to her senses.
Lu Ya returned home rather late today, as usual.
When she came in, the family was almost done with dinner.
Grandpa Lu had a lot of complaints about this.
Lu Ya made an excuse that she was working overtime, but Grandpa Lu and Lu Zheng'an clearly did not believe her.
How could an intern who has only been working for a few days possibly have so many extra shifts to work?
Her workplace wasn't that busy.
He was given a meaningless, idle job.
It's obvious she went out with someone.
But Wang Shufen herself didn't care, and even if others had strong opinions, they could only offer a few words of advice and reprimands.
Lu Ya's attitude wasn't as rebellious as before.
She obediently promised that she would go home as soon as she got off work from now on and would never make everyone worry again.
The girl, who was usually rebellious, was so well-behaved today. In addition, since she started working, her clothes and appearance were no longer as unconventional as before, which softened Grandpa Lu's expression.
It's a good thing to see her changing for the better.
As her grandfather, I couldn't keep criticizing her.
He waved his hand and spoke.
"Alright, you young people must be tired after a long day at work. Now that you've eaten, go back to your room and rest."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
A rare smile appeared on Lu Ya's face.
Bai Zhi had already finished eating. She sat there and glanced at Lu Ya a few more times. She noticed that without all the messy makeup on her face, Lu Ya was actually quite pretty and cute.
This girl was spoiled and overprotected by her parents from a young age.
But Bai Zhi felt that this was not a reason for her to fall for that kind of weird scumbag.
In short, it's baffling that Lu Ya could be attracted to someone like Li Wei.
She could only conclude that the men around Lu Ya from childhood to adulthood were all too upright and serious, which made her feel depressed.
That's why I'm attracted to those smooth-talking scoundrels who are the complete opposite of the men in my family.
Bai Zhi took a shower after finishing her meal and didn't pay much attention to Lu Ya and Wang Shufen's movements.
After Wang Shufen finished eating and returned to her room, she waited for Lu Ya to come in.
If Lu Ya had met Li Wei today, she would definitely have come in.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the girl gently pushed open the door and peeked in first.
She peeked out from the doorway, her voice sweet, "Mom, you're still up, aren't you?"
Wang Shufen sat in a chair, propping her head up with one hand, and sighed, "Hmm, I can't sleep."
Lu Ya came over and hugged Wang Shufen, saying in a coquettish tone, "Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry again today. I'll come back earlier next time."
Mentioning this, Wang Shufen couldn't contain her anger. She glared at her unhappily and scolded, "I'm not trying to be mean, but look at your cousin and her wife, and look at yourself. You're always getting scolded by your grandfather. I really lose face, you know that?"
"Parents are their children's support and backing, and by the same token, children are also their parents' pride. Can't you make me proud?"
Lu Ya also had a fiery temper. Upon hearing Wang Shufen's words, she let go of her and retorted firmly, "Mom, how am I not good enough? My job isn't as good as my cousin's, but at least I've started working and earning money. Why do you always make comparisons? Did I compare you to my aunt? My aunt is a high school teacher."
Lu Ya's words left Wang Shufen speechless.
Yes, she is a housewife.
She herself is nothing, so what right does she have to make demands on her child?
It's because she hasn't worked for so many years and has been living a comfortable life.
Therefore, she has been somewhat lacking in her daughter's education over the years.
I just thought that all she needed to do was marry someone from a similar social class when she grew up.
Wang Shufen's tone softened a bit, "I don't expect you to be outstanding at work, I just hope you're doing well."
At least don't be a fool and get deceived by a scumbag.
When her mother softened her tone, Lu Ya quickly corrected herself, saying, "Mom, I know you're concerned."
After all, she still had things to talk to her mother about.
She sat down opposite Wang Shufen and asked eagerly, "Mom, have you called Dad yet?"
Wang Shufen didn't deliberately act high and mighty, and simply replied with a soft "Mm".
"What did my dad say?" Lu Ya's expression lit up, and she hurriedly asked.
Wang Shufen glanced at her, her tone still indifferent, "What do you want to know?"
Lu Ya chuckled, "It's about arranging a job for my friend."
Wang Shufen sat up straight, her face serious. "Your dad was very angry. I had to plead with him, and he reluctantly agreed."
"Really?" Upon hearing her words, Lu Ya jumped up excitedly, her voice rising.
Wang Shufen lifted her eyelids slightly and asked in a cool tone, "You don't believe me?"
Lu Ya laughed awkwardly, "No, I just felt a little surprised."
Lu Ya was so excited by this unexpected good news that she almost jumped up.
Wang Shufen expressed her dissatisfaction with her daughter's reaction.
She knew it; that stupid girl Lu Ya had always looked down on her.
She scoffed, "Don't let your dad's harsh attitude fool you. When it really matters, he still listens to me. I'm his wife, his companion in his old age."
"Mom, it seems you still hold a high position in Dad's heart." This incident did indeed give Lu Ya a new understanding of her mother's status in the family.
Her dad sometimes yells at her mom; that's just between the couple.
In crucial moments, her mother proved to be quite helpful.
Lu Ya looked at Wang Shufen with expectant eyes and hurriedly asked, "So what exactly did my dad say? When can Li Wei start work?"
Feeling guilty for lying, Wang Shufen avoided eye contact with Lu Ya and made excuses, "In a few days, your brother will be coming back, and I'll take him with me."
Mentioning Lu Hai, Lu Ya pouted and muttered, "Would my brother agree?"
Will this make things difficult for Li Wei?
“Your brother listens to your father; he’s already been persuaded.” Wang Shufen had already prepared her words. She tried to remain calm, looked at Lu Ya, and said very seriously, “But your father still has some issues with you. Don’t contact him yet; just wait for your brother to come over.”
"Mom, I'll listen to you."
Lu Ya obediently agreed.
At this moment, looking at Wang Shufen's serious expression, Lu Ya suddenly realized that her mother wasn't as useless as she had imagined.
In critical moments, being a mother, she not only sided with her daughter but also acted swiftly and decisively.
