“Mum, it’s me. Go back to your house? Okay, I got it.”
Hanging up the phone, he kept his keys and headed to the elevator, then he drove to Ye Shuyun’s house.
When he arrived, he found that there was another person at home except for Ye Shuyun, Fang Zhu was at the house too.
“Lu Yi, come over.” Ye Shuyun pulled a long face.
Lu Yi walked over and sat down with an impassive face which made others feel very stressful.
Ye Shuyun really wanted to pinch her son’s face, “Why can’t you smile?”
“No reason.” Lu Yi answered seriously, he didn’t want to laugh.
Ye Shuyun rolled her eyes. How could she give birth to such a son? If you said he was stupid, he was smarter than a hundred people; if you said he was smart, ut he was extremely stupid on somethings.
In fact, she didn’t know that sometimes the meaning of extremely stupid could be understood as a man of great wisdom often seems slow-witted.
It didn’t mean that he did not understand even though he remained silent.
Everyone should know how to conduct themselves in society. He was a prosecutor for four years and he never made a single mistake as he would act according to his principles.
Ye Shuyun rolled her eyes upwards again, “What’s the matter with both of you?”
Fang Zhu sat aside and she was brazen herself to come over here today. After they had parted in discord, she thought everything would be fine a few days later, Lu Yi would come over if something happened.
But she was wrong. When she left out Lu Yi in the cold, it was extremely difficult to arouse his enthusiasm. Lu Yi was no longer picked up her call; he did not answer or he hung up the phone.
Then she realized that between the two of them, she needed to be one to concede.
After a few days later, she began to grow restless. Since she couldn’t find Lu Yi, then she could ask Lu Yi’s mother for help. Ye Shuyun agreed on them to be together and thus, she would help her as well.
Lu Yi frowned and pursed his thin lips slightly, “I think we are not suitable for each other.”
Not suitable? Fang Zhu’s heart constricted. She was filled with fear as if she was going to lose something.
“Not suitable?” Ye Shuyun widened her eyes.
“What do you think it is not suitable for you?” Ye Shuyun stared at her son, “If you cannot give me a reason, then you should get along well with Xiao Zhu and marry her.”
Lu Yi looked up and took a glance at Ye Shuyun.
“Mom, I want to go back now.” Lu Yi did not reply to her as he didn’t want to explain. There was no other reason than they were not suitable for each other.
In fact, that was the reason.
“Sit down.” Ye Shuyun spoke in a cold voice, “Lu Yi, do you still treat me as your mother?”
Lu Yi had to sit down and he never took a glance at Fang Zhu all along. Fang Zhu was always proud and arrogant and thus, Lu Yi’s behaviour made her feel very uncomfortable and she wanted to even leave the house.
However, she knew clearly that Ye Shuyun couldn’t help her if she left now.
She didn’t want to part with Lu Yi. She understood that it was her loss if she gave up the man like Lu Yi.
Ye Shuyun snorted, “If your reason is not reasonable, then you must get along well with Xiao Zhu. She is my daughter-in-law. You should appreciate that there is a woman who is willing to be your partner. Or is it possible that you want a man instead of a woman? Lu Yi, I tell you…” Ye Shuyun pulled a long face, “If you have that kind of mind, I will break your legs first.”
Lu Yi pursed his thin lips and his eyes finally fell on Fang Zhu coldly, obviously, he was losing his patience.
Fang Zhu felt stiff all over suddenly, this was the first time she felt bad about being tried by Lu Yi.
“Mum, I have something else to do,” Lu Yi rose to his feet again and Ye Shuyun did not stop him this time. Anyway, she already said everything that she wanted to say. She believed her son would not act against her will.
“Don’t worry,” Ye Shuyun comforted Fang Zhu, “Lu Yi has always been so, he doesn’t talk much but he is sensible, perhaps there is a misunderstanding between both of you, it will be alright if you clear it up.”
Fang Zhu smiled sadly. She wanted to ask Ye Shuyun, what if there weren’t any misunderstandings between them? Though there was no one who knew what she had done, she knew it very well.
She told herself, what can he do without evidence, even if he guessed it was me who did the thing? It was all just his guess.
She was trying to engage Ye Shuyun in small talk but she didn’t know what to say and thus, she changed the subject of their conversation. She was enthusiastic to talk about her students and her job while Ye Shuyun was smiling stiffly.
She wanted to discuss the drama as she was not interested in her job and she already graduated decades ago, but she couldn’t cast a chill over Fang Zhu and thus, she could only listen and nod off at the same time.
“Are you serious?” Lei Qingyi leaned on the desk with his eyes widened.
“Your mum still wants you to date the black widow? Does she really treat her as her daughter-in-law and ask you to marry her? And she will let the woman chop off your head when you are useless?”
Lu Yi looked up at him, “What do you think?”
“Huh?” Lei Qingyi heartily sympathized with Lu Yi, “Your mum really did that?”
He fiddled his hair to make it look better, “Does your mother know about that?”
“About how she abused the cat.” Lei Qingyi spoke in a low voice as this was a shameful thing that he almost threw himself on his knees in fear even if he was a big fellow.
She wasn’t a goddess but a crazy woman.
“I didn’t tell her.” Lu Yi took the milk tea on the table and took a sip of it, “I don’t want she get hurt and I wanted to spare the woman’s feelings.”
“I see….” Lei Qing could only smile drily.
But, it didn’t mean that he would not tell her. He wouldn’t let his best friend go astray and marry the black widow anyway.
