Zuo Weiyi had mixed feelings looking at Shen Lanzhi leaving.
Zuo Weiyi only went downstairs after Shen Lanzhi had entered the guest room to rest. Otherwise, she could only stay in the master bedroom if Shi Yuting’s mother was there.
Shen Lanzhi went downstairs to have dinner.
Aunty Yu had prepared a wonderful dinner at the dinner table.
However, Zuo Weiyi who was in the living room chose to go upstairs.
Shi Yuting came out of the study room and came to the dining room. He frowned when he did not see Zuo Weiyi there.
“Tell Miss Zuo to come down and have dinner.”
The maid nodded. “Yes.”
Just as she was about to turn around, Shen Lanzhi who was sitting at the dining table suddenly looked at her son and said, “Son, can’t we eat this meal without her?”
Shi Yuting looked up and asked coldly, “What’s wrong? Why can’t we enjoy our meal with her?”
Shen Lanzhi did not say anything.
How much space did this girl take in his heart?
Her son had never talked back to her on behalf of a woman in the past twenty-nine years.
Shen Lanzhi was helpless. “After all, she is just an outsider.”
Shi Yuting put down his chopsticks and looked at his mother. “Mother, are you looking down on her because she was a maid?”
Shen Lanzhi was displeased with her son’s accusation.
“I didn’t mean to discriminate against her. It’s just that you have hurried home last time and came back here again after a few days. I just wanted to have a good dinner with my son. Is this wrong?
“Yes, I didn’t like the girl very much because she was too dishonest. She had lied to me about her identity when I first met her. If she is going to be with you in the future, she may have some other ideas or plans. You wouldn’t know!”
Nuannuan could not help but speak weakly looking at her brother and mother.
“Mother, I told her to hide it from you because I’m afraid you would get angry when you know…”
Shen Lanzhi turned her head and glanced at her daughter, but still, it did not change her view toward Zuo Weiyi.
“No matter what, I hope that your brother is elected as the president. Don’t fail to live up your father and grandfather’s expectations of him.” Shen Lanzhi looked down. Her eyes were slightly teary. “I… I don’t want to be separated from you anymore.”
Shi Yuting and Shi Nuannuan could not help but raise their eyes and look at their mother in surprise.
“What do you mean?” He slightly frowned as he saw his mother’s weird expression.
Shen Lanzhi sniffed and calmed herself down. She then randomly picked up the chopsticks. “It’s nothing. It’s fine as long as you are happy. Go and tell Zuo…that girl to come down and eat together.”
“Mother, what exactly did you mean by that sentence?” Shi Nuannuan was still trying to figure out what was going on.
Shen Lanzhi lifted her head and forced a smile. “Nothing. It’s nothing.”
She turned her head and looked at Shi Yuting again after that. “Son, if you can’t marry her, you will only hurt her in the end. Do you know that?”
Shi Yuting gently pursed his lips. He was calm and unhurried.
“I can pretend that I do not see anything. But you would have to leave the girl behind the day you returned to Country C. Your grandfather won’t let her enter the Shi family.”
Shi Yuting remained calm while listening to his mother.
“Aunty Yu, call that girl down to have dinner together,” Shen Lanzhi said.
Aunty Yu looked at her. She then looked at Shi Yuting again. After that, she finally turned around and to get Zuo Weiyi downstairs.
