Chapter 196 Shen Yan's mother deliberately embarrassed Nan Xia...
"I'm sorry, Madam. I was wrong. I didn't recognize your greatness. Shall I take you inside to register for a membership?"
Ignoring the waiter, Mrs. Nan looked at the unfamiliar woman with suspicion, "Excuse me, who are you...?"
"I just couldn't stand that Madam Shen mocking people for no reason. You don't need to know who I am," Madam Song said.
Madam Shen looked at the Song family members with a displeased expression. Why was she suddenly pretending to be a good person? The Song and Shen families had always maintained a good relationship on the surface. Was she really going to offend them for the sake of a complete swindler?
Mrs. Nan nodded, finding the lady's face quite familiar and having a good impression of her.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I won't join the restaurant's membership program. I really don't care to go in."
“Then why don’t we go to another restaurant and have a meal together? I quite like your personality. I don’t have many friends; they’re mostly just people I meet for social occasions,” Mrs. Song asked again.
"Sure." Nan's mother also had a good impression of her.
"Then let's walk and stroll around the streets. It's still early," Mrs. Song said. She wanted to get to know Nanxia's mother first, just in case her son and she had a chance.
Anyway, Nanxia and that Shen Yan have no chance.
"Okay." Nan's mother turned her head and glared at the fat woman. The saying "ugly people are always troublesome" is absolutely true. It's one thing to be ugly, but she's also annoying.
The gap between the rich and the poor is truly enormous.
"Honey, you can go back now. I'll go for a walk with this lady."
After speaking to her husband who was approaching, Madam Song left with Nan Xia's mother. Song Jinchen was speechless; had he just been abandoned like this?
Why would she bother befriending Nanxia's mother if she had nothing to do?
Madam Shen found it strange that Madam Song would help a stranger for no reason and even go shopping and eat with her. As a merchant family, she couldn't believe that Madam Song would have no ulterior motives!
But now that the person had already left, he couldn't get any information out of her. He snorted and went into the restaurant, realizing that he had actually been angered by a strange woman.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
A few minutes later, Shen Yan's car pulled up to the side of the road. He and Nan Xia got out, and the waiter at the door recognized him and immediately greeted them with respect.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Shen."
Shen Yan nodded slightly, and the waiter led them into the restaurant and directly to the reserved private room.
Nanxia wasn't a member here, but she knew that this ultra-high-end restaurant was a members-only establishment.
The interior is decorated in an antique style, with tables, chairs and exquisitely carved decorations made of expensive pear wood and golden nanmu wood, and the decorative items are also quite valuable.
Stepping into this place, you can feel the weight of history and the smell of money.
"Why did you come here to eat?" she asked the man walking beside her.
"You'll find out soon enough." Your aunt should have arrived by now, right?
I booked this restaurant simply because I thought it would be more formal and I wanted to show them more respect. I never expected that Nanxia and her mother weren't members here!
He assumed that, given Nanxia's wealth and reputation, it must be a member here.
Upon reaching the second floor and arriving at the door of a private room, the waiter gently knocked on the door. Pushing it open, he found only his mother sitting inside the understated yet luxurious private room.
Aunt Nan hasn't arrived yet?
Why hasn't Dad arrived yet?
Nan Xia looked at the dark-skinned middle-aged woman and recognized her. What did he mean by suddenly bringing her to see his mother?
"Is this the surprise you're giving me? Meeting your parents is such a big deal, why didn't you mention it to me?" Her tone was displeased.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to make a call." Seeing that she was getting a little angry and wanted her mother to come and save the day, Shen Yan took his phone and walked a few steps away to make the call.
Sitting in the room, Madam Shen arrogantly looked Nan Xia up and down. "She has such a bewitching look. Hmph, no wonder she's bewitched her son."
But why does she look so much like that old woman pretending to be a wealthy lady from earlier?
She suddenly realized that the fake rich lady couldn't possibly be her mother, could she? Ha, just thinking about how she was stopped at the door was really funny.
"You must be from Nanxia? Since you're here, come and sit down."
Madam Shen looked down on the mother and daughter from a single-parent family, but for the sake of her own company, the actor took the initiative to call out to her.
As for her mother, so be it; her son won't know for the time being anyway.
Nan Xia glanced at her and walked over. If she turned around and left now, it would be detrimental to her purpose. Wasn't it just about dealing with his mother? There shouldn't be any major problems.
She sat down next to the arrogant old woman and poured herself a cup of water from the teapot.
Madam Shen was displeased that she hadn't even refilled her water bottle. Sure enough, people from single-parent families have no manners! But she held back and asked in a cold, arrogant tone,
"How old is Attorney Nan this year?"
"I'm 25." Nan Xia turned to look at her and replied casually.
"You're not young anymore, no wonder you're so eager to marry into a wealthy family. If you get any older, no man will like you, especially a strong woman like you."
Madam Shen could tell at a glance that she was very assertive and definitely not the kind of woman who would obediently listen to her husband and be a virtuous wife and loving mother at home.
"If you want to marry into a wealthy family like our Shen family, you must change your personality. Stop acting like a queen. You must serve and respect your parents-in-law, obey your husband unconditionally, listen to him, and preferably be able to cook."
"To be honest, you're not good enough for the Shen family, but if you can do what I'm about to say, it's not impossible." Madam Shen turned and glanced at her before speaking.
Nan Xia scoffed inwardly. Was she just hiring a free housekeeper for her family? Who would want to marry into the Shen family?
“I will try my best to do it,” she said.
When Madam Shen heard her answer, her jaw almost dropped! This woman gave her the feeling of being a very strong and difficult-to-tame wildcat. How could she agree to her tricky conditions?
Is it because she really wants to marry into the Shen family that she's so humble?
"Can you really do it? Don't try to play the double game with me."
"No, it won't," Nan Xia replied again.
Seeing how humble and easily manipulated she was, Madam Shen immediately adopted an even more condescending attitude, looking down at her with disdain. "So you really like my son?"
"Yes." She picked up her teacup, took a sip of water, and nodded obediently.
Outside, Shen Yan dialed his aunt's number four times before finally getting through, not understanding why his aunt had hung up on him.
"Auntie, haven't you arrived at the restaurant yet?" he asked.
"You guys eat by yourselves, I won't go over. As for the marriage... I don't think you and Xiaxia are a good match, so let's just forget about it and break up sooner rather than later."
"I'm so angry," Nan's mother said in a deep voice. Sitting next to her was Madam Song, who raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing her words.
