“Xinlei, what… What happened to you?”
Zhong Shenghao glanced at his mother. His initially relieved face now had a layer of worry.
His mother was amiable, but as a member of a wealthy family, he didn’t know if she had the thought of ‘being of equal status’.
In order not to break Xinlei’s good impression in his mother’s heart, Zhong Shenghao briefly explained her family’s situation.
However, compared to being of equal status, Xinlei’s family background was not bad.
“Mom, Xinlei’s parents were also businessmen in the past. Later… They both passed away due to an accident.”
Hearing this, Shu Yan was stunned. Only then did she realize that she had really said the wrong thing.
She quickly turned her head and pulled Jing Xinlei’s hand to comfort her. “Xinlei, Auntie didn’t mean it. I just… wanted to confirm your family. Okay –”
She wanted to say ‘good betrothal, arranged marriage’, but if she said this, would it scare her again?
With this thought, the words that Shu Yan wanted to say were stuck in her throat again.
“I didn’t know your parents had passed away, but don’t be sad. In the future, your uncle Zhong and I will be your biological parents. Ah!”
She tried her best to say it, not wanting Jing xinlei to be sad.
“It’s okay. My parents… have passed away for four years.”
”…”four years?
“So, you’ve lived here for… four years?”
“Yes.”
Upon hearing this news, Shu Yan couldn’t help but feel happy.
They had lived here for four years, which meant that the relationship between her son and her was very deep. It seemed that she was going to prepare for a wedding!
Uh, looking at Jing xinlei, no matter how anxious Shu Yan was, she knew that it was not appropriate to talk about this now. It was better to wait until she was in a good mood.
Anyway, she had waited for so many years. It was not a matter of time.
“Xinlei, in the future, if you need anything, just let us know, understand?”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
“Don’t mention it. You are my future daughter-in-law. If I don’t treat you well, who else can I treat well?”
Facing Shu Yan’s warmth and amiability, the trace of grief in Jing Xinlei’s heart that she missed her parents was also diluted by her.
She smiled and didn’t speak again.
At dinner time.
At the dining table, Shu Yan kept putting food into her mouth. Jing Xinlei finished eating and she kept putting food into her mouth, which led to a meal. Jing xinlei only ate the food and didn’t have time to eat.
In the end, she was also full!
“Mom, I asked Uncle Zhou to prepare a room for you and dad on the third floor.”
When Shu Yan heard that, she couldn’t help but look up and glanced at the direction of the third floor. “Third floor, is it a guest room?”
“En, because I didn’t know you would suddenly come, I temporarily let you suffer for the night. Tomorrow, I’ll get someone to clean up the other bedroom on the second floor.”
“No, no, no, we’ll stay on the third floor. We Won’t Disturb You!”As soon as she finished speaking, Shu Yan hurriedly covered her mouth.
In her anxiety, she actually blurted out her intentions.
Zhong Shenghao glanced at Jing Xinlei’s room. Fortunately, she didn’t hear this sentence.
“Mom, Xinlei and I aren’t like what you think.”
They each lived in a room. How could they be disturbed?
“I know, so…”Shu Yan looked around, then whispered into her son’s ear, “Son, when this man doesn’t need a ‘gentleman’, he must ‘make a move’!”
“Mom!”
“Okay, okay! I’m joking, I just… Hehe… I want to have a grandson Sooner!”
Shu Yan laughed and then left with her mouth covered. She couldn’t help but give her son a playful look, as if she was hinting at something.
