"Yian is not mine, so naturally he can't stay in the Shao family anymore. As for the Yuan family, I have already made arrangements. Don't worry, mom. I am not someone who can't make decisions based on right and wrong."

Madam Shao looked at her son and said, "That's good. Yuan and the Yuan family behind her have been taking advantage of your name to gain benefits over the years. I tolerated it in the past for Yi'an's sake.

I am too lazy to pursue the past, but I don't want to see anyone from the Yuan family again. If you can't do it, then I will do it."

Shao Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, don't worry, I will give you, Momo, and Zhiqiu an explanation."

Mrs. Shao paused, and her tone softened. "Her name is Zhiqiu? What's her last name?"

"My surname is Huang. My name is Huang Zhiqiu."

Mrs. Shao nodded. "Zhiqiu, that's a nice name. She must be a kind person, right? It's hard to believe that she didn't come to see you for so many years."

"Yes, she is different from Yuan Jia. She appears gentle and kind on the surface, but she is tough and independent in her heart. Because of the incident with Yuan Jia, she has misunderstood me for many years, but we have talked it out and she has let it go."

After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Shao's favorable impression of Huang Zhiqiu increased a little more.

If it were any other woman, after learning about her son's identity and family background, she would have stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster. It was rare that the other person, who came from a poor family, had such a character.

"From your tone, it seems that you used to have a very close relationship?" Mrs. Shao asked inconspicuously.

"I had feelings for her at the time. I originally wanted to bring her back to the capital, but she had concerns. I didn't want to force her, so I asked her to think about it for a few days. As a result, I was drunk the night she came to see me..."

Mrs. Shao glared at her son angrily, "Don't you know who you're sleeping with?"

Shao Lin blushed, "I had drunk that night and was not very clear-headed. When I woke up the next day, I saw Yuan Jia lying next to me. Other employees of the guesthouse also testified that it was Yuan Jia who entered my room that night, so I thought I had made a mistake."

Mrs. Shao didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Now that the matter is clear, what are your plans? If she is really of good character and you still have those feelings towards her, I will not object to you."

"Mom, I can't think about this right now, and she probably doesn't have the heart to do so."

Mrs. Shao looked at her son and suddenly laughed, which made Shao Lin and Mrs. Hua very confused.

Mrs. Shao took a sip of tea and said, "I'm used to seeing women flocking to you, but I didn't expect there are still women who look down on you. It feels quite interesting."

Shao Lin: “…”

Sister Hua couldn't help but laugh too.

After talking for a long time, the dishes on the table were cold. Sister Hua took the dishes away to heat them up, while Mrs. Shao took her son to the greenhouse where she rarely allowed outsiders to enter.

"Didn't you say Momo likes flowers? Take a look at the flowers in my greenhouse and pick out a few pots that she likes. I'll have the gardener move them to the yard next to yours tomorrow."

Shao Lin hesitated a little, "No need, Mom, these flowers are all your treasures. I can just go to the flower market to buy some for Momo in a couple of days when I have time."

"Just pick what you're told to pick, why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Mrs. Shao casually pointed to a pot of freesia on the shelf and said, "This one has beautiful colors and a pleasant fragrance. The girls should like it."

Shao Lin nodded hurriedly, "Mom, you have a really good eye. Momo really likes this kind of fragrant flower. She has planted a yellow jasmine where she lives now. It blooms very well and the whole yard is filled with fragrance."

"Gallanthos? I have a pot of it right there. I'll ask the gardener to move it over tomorrow."

Next, Mrs. Shao ordered seven or eight pots of rare orchids in one go, without any of the cherishment and reluctance she usually showed.

"Mom, I finally understand why everyone says that the next generation is close."

Mrs. Shao glanced back at her son, then pointed at a pot of Clivia and said, "Take this pot of Da Shengli as well. You can put it in the study."

Shao Lin: “…”

If he remembered correctly, two years ago, this pot of Victory was moved to the yard to bask in the sun, and a naughty nephew in the east yard broke off a leaf. When Mrs. Shao found out, she grabbed the nephew, who was less than ten years old, and pulled out all the weeds in the orchid house.

I wonder what Momo is doing?

When Shao Lin called the courtyard, Yun Mo was making ice jelly for everyone.

It is not advisable to eat too cold food at night, so Yun Mo did not put any ice cubes in it and just ate it as a dessert and midnight snack.

"Momo, have you had dinner? What are you busy with?"

"I've eaten. I'm making ice jelly."

"Ice jelly? Momo, can you make ice jelly?"

"Um."

"The ice jelly made by Momo must be delicious. I wonder if Dad has the honor and opportunity to eat it."

"If you like it, I'll make a special portion for you when we get to the capital."

"It's a deal, and I mean it."

Yun Mo smiled and said, "Yeah."

"That's it, Momo, you should go to bed early, and we'll talk when you're free."

"Okay, you too. Dad."

After a pause, Yun Mo called out softly.

“Hey!”

Shao Lin on the other end of the phone hung up contentedly.

Yun Mo put down the phone, turned around, and found that Huang Zhiqiu had come into the main room at some point.

"mom."

Huang Zhiqiu handed her a plate of freshly cut watermelon.

"Here, Xiao Ling asked me to bring you something to eat."

"Thank you, Mom."

Cut the watermelon into small pieces and remove the seeds, so you can eat it directly with a fork.

Yun Mo first forked a piece and put it into Huang Zhiqiu's mouth, then started eating it herself.

Huang Zhiqiu found a chair and sat down. "I was worried these past few days that you had a grudge against your father and refused to call him. It seems that I was worrying for nothing."

Yun Mo swallowed the watermelon in her mouth and said, "Mom, you have suffered so much and you didn't blame him. I don't have anything to worry about."

"It's great that you can think this way. People should always look forward. If you always live in the misery of the past, you will suffer in the end."

Yun Mo nodded and looked up at the other person, "Mom, the misunderstanding between you and Dad has been cleared up. Do you have any plans for the future?"

Huang Zhiqiu knew what his daughter was asking and smiled softly, "I just want to go back to the factory and complete this 20,000 order. I've thought about it and I think the bamboo weaving factory can't always rely on you. We have to be self-reliant. When I get back, I'll go to the major food companies in Anshi to see if I can attract some business."

Yun Mo naturally agreed with Huang Zhiqiu's idea, and at the same time, she also understood the implication of Huang Zhiqiu's words.

Focus on career, not men.
