Chapter 291 The Pseudo-Student’s Black Moonlight Goddess 41
Cao Xiaoshan glanced at Zhuang Yan and saw that he was either eating or helping Shen Xinran pick up food, which made her brows furrow even more.
After she put a piece of food into his bowl with her chopsticks, she lowered her voice and said, "Your uncle is talking to you. You should say a few words to him no matter what!"
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Yan pushed the dish she had picked up aside. This action made Cao Xiaoshan's face turn dark.
Seeing this, Fang Youlin quickly stepped out to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Don't be angry with the child. Xiaoyan is old enough now, it's normal for him to have a little temper. Besides, he may not like the food you picked for him."
After hearing Fang Youlin's words, Shen Xinran looked up at him. At first glance, Fang Youlin's tone sounded like he was trying to persuade Cao Xiaoshan, but after listening carefully, he felt something was wrong.
As expected, Cao Xiaoshan's expression became even uglier. After finishing her meal, she said to Zhuang Yan with a cold face, "Come with me. I have something to tell you."
Zhuang Yan sat on the chair and showed no intention of getting up. "Is there anything you can't say here?"
Cao Xiaoshan's brows were furrowed, as if she was feeling depressed before a storm.
Fang Youlin could only use a smile to break the tense atmosphere. "I'm sleepy too. You guys chat first. I'll go back to my room and sleep."
After he finished speaking, he asked the servant to push him upstairs.
"I suddenly remembered that I still have some things I bought for my uncle in the car. I'll go get them first." Fang Zhuo stood up and quickly left the restaurant.
Chen Xinran sat there alone, feeling uneasy. She also wanted to leave, but as soon as she stood up, Zhuang Yan grabbed her hand. She could only lower her head and reduce her presence.
Cao Xiaoshan glanced at Shen Xinran, then looked at Zhuang Yan and said coldly, "I don't care who you date, but I have to decide who you marry."
Zhuang Yan leaned back in his chair and chuckled. "You know I won't listen to you, so why bother saying it? You seem to enjoy the pleasure of being in control more than letting me take over the company."
Cao Xiaoshan frowned even tighter. "Xiao Yan, I'm doing this for your own good. You have to believe that I won't harm you."
At this moment, Shen Xinran noticed a shadow at the door. She gently pulled Zhuang Yan's hand, signaling him to pay attention.
Zhuang Yan held Shen Xinran's hand and squeezed it. Then he looked at Cao Xiaoshan and continued, "You don't even dare to acknowledge my identity, so why should I trust you? Don't you think so, my aunt!"
Cao Xiaoshan's eyes reddened, and she lowered her voice and said, "You called me aunt once, and it broke my heart. Do you think I agree? But it's your uncle Fang who didn't know I was married!"
Zhuang Yan said with a half-smile, "But I don't need your love for me. So, whoever wants to be the successor can be it!"
Cao Xiaoshan shook her head, her voice revealing disappointment that was hard to conceal, "Do you really want to hurt my heart like this?"
Zhuang Yan simply smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in her smile, "After all, you are my dearest mother."
After hearing the word "Mom", Cao Xiaoshan's eyes widened. She looked around and lowered her voice and shouted, "You are crazy!"
"Just think of me as crazy!" Zhuang Yan said, then stood up, took Shen Xinran's hand and left. When he reached the door, he glanced at the corner with a half-smile.
At the corner, Fang Zhuo clutched his phone tightly, leaning against the wall with a pale face, obviously shocked by what had just been said.
His heart was pounding, and he could hardly believe his ears. Zhuang Yan actually called his aunt "Mom"!
Fang Zhuo wanted to tell his uncle about this immediately, but after taking two steps, he stopped. No, only by exposing the secret of this mother and son in public could they be doomed.
Shen Xinran sat in the passenger seat and waited until the car had completely left the Fang family before looking at Zhuang Yan, "Fang Zhuo was eavesdropping just now."
Zhuang Yan replied nonchalantly while driving: "I know, but I need to verify one thing."
Shen Xinran asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhuang Yan smiled mysteriously, "I can't tell you now."
Shen Xinran: “…”
Suddenly she realized that the male protagonist seemed to be hiding a lot of things from her.
When the car drove out of the villa area, Zhuang Yan glanced at Chen Xinran and asked, "Where do you live? I'll take you home."
Shen Xinran was surprised, "Aren't you going to work this afternoon?"
Zhuang Yan replied, "I have something to do these two days and won't be going to the company. I can give you two days off."
Shen Xinran's face showed an unconcealable surprise, "Are you serious?"
Zhuang Yan glanced at Chen Xinran and said, "I've never seen you smile so happily when I gave you a bag before. How can you be so happy during the holidays?"
Shen Xinran quickly adjusted his expression and pretended to be sad. "It's fun to have a holiday, but I feel lost when I think about not being able to see you for the next two days."
Zhuang Yan nodded and suggested, "In that case, why don't you go on a business trip with me?"
After hearing this, Shen Xinran quickly shook his head and refused, "No, I still have two pots of flowers at home that need to be taken care of. If I leave, who will water them? They can't stand this hot weather."
Zhuang Yan snorted softly and did not continue the topic.
Shen Xinran lay at home for two days, sleeping when he was tired, watching TV when he woke up, and ordering takeout when he was hungry. This kind of life without having to read or go to work is really leisurely.
Saturday morning.
Shen Xinran was sound asleep when she was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone. She answered the phone in a daze and heard Zhuang Yan's voice, "Please pack up and go to the theater with me later."
Shen Xinran sat up from the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Where are we going to watch the show?"
Zhuang Yan's laughter came through the phone, with a hint of mystery: "Guess?"
Shen Xinran frowned slightly, "Could it be the Fang family?"
Zhuang Yan on the other end of the phone: "Congratulations, you guessed it right."
Shen Xinran: “…”
Why do I suddenly feel this sentence is so familiar?
When Shen Xinran followed Zhuang Yan to the Fang family's house, she saw that the outside of the Fang family was full of luxury cars and it was very lively. She quickly pulled Zhuang Yan's hand and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhuang Yan helped Shen Xinran unbuckle her seatbelt and said casually, "Today is Fang Youlin's sixtieth birthday."
Shen Xinran frowned, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't even prepare a gift. It would be so awkward to go in and eat."
Zhuang Yan got out of the car first, his tone teasing: "Do you think I've prepared any gifts? Don't worry, we'll leave after the show. We won't stay long."
Shen Xinran: “…”
The two entered the villa and saw Fang Youlin sitting in the center, surrounded by several middle-aged men of similar age. Fang Zhuo stood next to Fang Youlin, and they chatted and laughed, the atmosphere lively.
Cao Xiaoshan was chatting with a group of ladies, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes when Zhuang Yan came in empty-handed.
But she quickly adjusted her mood, walked over to Zhuang Yan, and said in a low voice, "I put a vase in the guest room on the first floor. Take it out later and say it's a gift from you."
