Chapter 167 Meeting Mother-in-law
Although Su Muxue was somewhat moved by what he said, she was not a fool and would not be fooled by his few words.
"Why should I trust you, let alone how are you going to help me?"
Lu Zhiyi chuckled and said slowly:
"He relies on the Fu Group. If the Fu Group collapses one day, then he will be yours."
Su Muxue's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a faint excitement when she thought of that scene, but...
She looked up and down at Lu Zhiyi, disdain in her eyes: "You say it lightly, but... just you..."
It’s not that she looks down on Lu Zhiyi, but judging from the current momentum of the Fu Group, what he said is no different from a fool’s dream.
Facing her doubts, Lu Zhiyi was in a good mood, with a smile on his lips:
"I know your concerns, but now besides trusting me, do you have any other options?"
Su Muxue pursed her lips and her face darkened.
She thought of the scene in the Fu Group where she saw Fu Chuji warming Shen Nuo's hands, and knew that it was impossible for her to replace her.
She looked up at Lu Zhiyi and said calmly, "I can agree to your engagement. I'll tell my dad when I return to Ningcheng, but you have to show me your sincerity."
Lu Zhiyi looked into her eyes, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
"Can."
.
Shen Nuo accidentally opened the circle of friends and saw that Shen Huai had posted a photo of the starry sky. She casually clicked "like" and continued to scroll down.
It just so happened that the post below his was posted by An Ning. She didn't post a photo of the starry sky, but a river, and the location below was Anchong Town.
She felt that I looked familiar, so she flipped forward and sure enough, she saw An Chongzhen’s location under Shen Huai’s updates.
“…”
Her eyes went dark and she felt her head start to hurt again, which hadn't hurt in many days.
As luck would have it, Zhou Qi'an also sent her a pile of documents at this time:
"Mr. Shen is not here, so I'd like you to review and sign these documents."
As Shen Nuo took it, he complained quietly: “Some people are on business trips on the surface, but they are actually going on public expenses to have a relationship.”
Zhou Qian heard her words and looked at her in surprise.
"Am I wrong?"
Shen Nuo looked at Zhou Qian with some hope, even hoping to hear a negative answer from him.
Unfortunately, he was surprised and asked back: "So you knew it too."
“…”
Shen Nuo clenched the pen in his hand and signed expressionlessly.
She had just signed the document and handed it to Zhou Qian when the phone on the table began to vibrate.
She took it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
She swiped her finger and picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
Zhou Qian took the documents, tactfully left the office, and closed the door for her.
"You are Shen Nuo" came a female voice with a somewhat uncertain tone.
"It's me."
The other party seemed relieved, and there was a smile in her voice: "I am Aji's mother."
Shen Nuo paused holding the phone. She was silent for a moment, but still didn't hang up the phone.
She said calmly, "What can I do for you?"
Lin Yaxiang didn't rush to answer, but asked cautiously: "Aji is not with you, right?"
"No."
Lin Yaxiang was relieved. She said straight to the point: "You are in the company now, right? Then go directly to XX Restaurant after get off work. I will wait for you there. I have something to tell you."
Before Shen Nuo had a chance to refuse, she said everything and hung up the phone.
“…”
Chen Nuo had only met Lin Yaxiang once, which was the second time she met Fu Chuji. She didn't know much about her, she only knew that the Fu family probably didn't like her.
Although Fu Chuji never mentioned it before, she didn't know what he really thought of his mother. It seemed that she had to go today.
She felt annoyed at the thought of not knowing how to face her when they met, and she became even more annoyed when she saw the pile of documents on the table.
She sent a message to Fu Chuji, asking him not to pick her up, without saying why. He replied with a "OK".
She waited until she got off work, went to the restaurant Lin Yaxiang mentioned, and called to inquire about the private room number.
As soon as I entered the room, before I could see her face clearly, I heard her say, "Miss Shen is really a noble lady with many things to do. She really made me wait so long..."
There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Shen Nuo, who was a little nervous at first, calmed down instantly after hearing her words.
Very good, it seems I don’t have to worry about how to treat her.
She put down her bag, sat down opposite Lin Yaxiang, raised the corners of her lips and smiled at her:
"Sorry for the long wait."
Lin Yaxiang looked at her calmly, her gaze slowly moving from her necklace to the ring on her hand, and finally to the bag she placed aside.
She was looking at Shen Nuo, and Shen Nuo was also looking at her.
To be fair, Lin Yaxiang's face is very beautiful, and even though she is old, she still has charm. However, she doesn't look much like Fu Chuji, only their outlines are vaguely similar.
Shen Nuo handed her the menu and said with a smile, “Please order.”
Lin Yaxiang took the menu and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.
She was quite satisfied with Shen Nuo as her daughter-in-law, for no other reason than that she was rich.
And the purpose of her coming today was to control her.
Now Fu Chuji no longer cares about her, and the Fu family won't let her go at all. She's almost spent all the money she has, so naturally she turns her attention to Shen Nuo.
She took the menu and ordered a few of the most expensive dishes without hesitation.
Shen Nuo's expression remained unchanged. She took a sip of the tea in front of her and said, "Why did you ask me to come here today?"
"I am Aji's mother. Can't I come to you if I am fine?"
Lin Yaxiang looked displeased. She put on a didactic tone and said, "I know you come from a good family, and you might look down on me as your mother-in-law, but if you want to be with Aji, you still have to get past me. After all, I'm his mother."
Shen Nuo put down the teacup, supported his chin and looked at her with a smile: "So you mean that you look down on me and I think I am not worthy of him"
"It's good that you understand. You should know that Miss Su from the Su family has always liked our Aji," Lin Yaxiang mentioned casually.
Shen Nuo raised an eyebrow: “I know, I saw him a few days ago.”
"I'm glad you know."
Lin Yaxiang snorted softly: "I am Aji's biological mother. Do you think he will agree to marry you if I don't nod?"
Shen Nuo thought about it seriously, then nodded and said, “Probably.”
“…”
Lin Yaxiang choked, her brows raised, and she scolded in a low voice: "Then he is unfaithful and unfilial! And what is your attitude? After all, I am your elder, and you still want to enter our house like this?"
