Since Shen Xizhou had said so, Chu Yuan didn't insist on going and stayed home to sleep peacefully.
Of course, I tidied up the house before going to bed, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if it were too messy.
After getting together with Shen Xizhou, he never asked her to cook or do housework. He would either do it himself or hire a housekeeper, the latter being more common.
In Shen Xizhou's words, free time should be used to do more meaningful things, rather than getting bogged down in trivial matters that can be solved with a little money.
Whether it's learning, self-improvement, or relaxation and entertainment, it's all better than cooking and mopping the floor day after day.
Chu Yuan wholeheartedly agreed; she too was someone who wanted to study hard!
However, if Shen Xizhou's mother is coming, that's another story. Women of the older generation definitely prefer diligent and neat girls.
She didn't need to deliberately try to please Shen Xizhou's parents, but she also didn't need to intentionally vilify herself.
Rubbing her temples, which were a little sore from Ying Mei's nagging that morning, Chu Yuan wrapped herself in the blanket, placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and took a nice nap.
S City Airport.
Shen Xizhou had prepared a sign in advance to greet Ms. Lin, making the five characters "Ms. Lin, who is terrible with directions" particularly eye-catching, otherwise he was really worried that Ms. Lin might not be able to find it with her eyesight.
Sure enough, Ms. Lin didn't look at any of these things after she came out; she was still chatting and laughing with the aunt who got off at the same station.
The two hit it off immediately, and the aunt took Ms. Lin's arm in a friendly manner, saying, "Little Lin, let's keep in touch on WeChat when you have time. I'll take you to the most fun places around here and let you eat the most delicious local food."
"Okay, okay, okay," Ms. Lin replied hastily.
Shen Xizhou was the first to spot her, waving his sign and calling out several times, but Ms. Lin, who was wearing sunglasses, did not react.
Only after he squeezed forward did Ms. Lin glance at him indifferently through her glasses, "You're here? Why are you alone? Where's your wife?"
Shen Xizhou, "..."
I knew I wasn't well-liked, but I never expected to be this badly disliked!
He recounted what had happened that morning and took Ms. Lin's luggage from her, saying, "I told her to rest at home."
After listening, Ms. Lin patted Shen Xizhou on the shoulder and said, "I didn't realize, son, that you weren't a blockhead after all. You actually know how to cherish people."
"I'm just worried about you and my dad, especially my dad. What if he says something nasty again and then you just pack up and leave? I'll be the one who has to go through all the trouble of comforting you!"
Ms. Lin's eyes widened. "Nonsense, do you think your mother is that kind of person?"
When it comes to matters between men and women, it takes two to tango.
Strictly speaking, the girl is in the prime of her youth, so her son is the one who got the better deal, right?
After retrieving her car from the underground parking lot, Ms. Lin took off her sunglasses while sitting in the passenger seat before asking, "Where to now?"
"Where do you want to go?" Shen Xizhou asked in return.
Ms. Lin blurted out, "Go see your wife," but then her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID, hesitated for a few seconds, and then answered, "Hello, Xiao Qing?"
"Aunt Lin, have you arrived yet? I have something to do right now and can't leave. I've made a reservation at a restaurant tonight, shall we have dinner together?"
Just as Ms. Lin was about to speak, Shen Xizhou snatched the phone away and hung up decisively.
Ms. Lin was puzzled. "What are you doing? Xiao Qing is just inviting me to dinner. If you don't want to go, you don't have to."
Shen Xizhou didn't speak, but instead reached out and took out an envelope from the passenger side trunk. "Let's see what this is before we talk. The kind little princess you think she is might not be what you think at all."
Xue Qing thought that by deliberately blurring the handwriting, he wouldn't be able to tell that she did it? The two of them were in the same class in elementary, middle, and high school. Some of their penmanship habits were obvious to him. How foolish!
"This...this really was written by Xiao Qing?" After reading the letter of accusation that Shen Xizhou had retrieved from Han Yuan, Ms. Lin's eyes widened in disbelief.
Although she did not directly report Shen Xizhou, once this matter spread in the circle, it would not only ruin Shen Xizhou's future, but also make it impossible for Shen Jianzhong to remain unscathed.
The Shen family, the Lin family, and many other relatives in the same system, such as Qin Zhengming, will all be affected. Isn't she acting recklessly?
Shen Xizhou drove quietly, not answering Ms. Lin's question, because there was no need to say anything more; his mother could understand just how selfish Xue Qing was.
Driven by her own wishful thinking and unrealistic love, she acted recklessly, putting him and even the entire Shen family in jeopardy.
She's not even a fraction as good as Yuan Yuan.
Ms. Lin felt a chill run down her spine as she leaned back in her chair, inexplicably regretting how kind she had been to Xue Qing over the years.
After a while, Xue Qing continued to call, but Ms. Lin hung up without any hesitation.
"Do you think Xue Qingshan knows about this? I'll have to tell your dad to be careful and not get too close to Xue Qingshan. His character is questionable, considering he raised such an extreme daughter."
As she spoke, Ms. Lin smiled again, "You've never accepted Xue Qing, is it because her family has been in business for generations and they're too eager for quick success and instant benefits, unlike families like ours where officials have been officials for generations?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xizhou smiled gently and shook his head, "No, that's not it. I don't like her; I just don't have any feelings for her."
His daughter, Yuanyuan, is the best. She is gentle, obedient, and well-behaved. She had gone astray before, but she has come to her senses and is now hardworking, humble, and easy to like!
"..." Ms. Lin was speechless, thinking that if Xue Qing heard this, she would probably cry and make a scene.
However, she really couldn't feel sorry for her. If a girl like this, who couldn't let go of things, were to marry into the Shen family, she would only bring trouble to the Shen family!
The car drove all the way to the courthouse. On the way, Xue Qing called again, but Ms. Lin didn't answer.
