She did not elaborate and asked, “Mrs. Zheng, you’re going out too?”
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, “I have the intention to.”
Perfect. Du Yiqin did not want to chat anymore with her. “Then I won’t disturb you.”
She was prepared to leave, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Zheng did not want to end the conversation and said, “Xiaoya hasn’t come back in a long time, and your boyfriend too. Seems like ever since the first time you both came over, you never came again.”
Shi Xiaoya: “…”
Was Mrs. Zheng keeping an eye on their family every day?
She was even so sure that Han Zhuoling had only come once and had no doubts about whether Han Zhuoling merely came when she was not paying attention and therefore might not know about it.
For her to be so sure, she must have been watching their family every day.
Thinking of it was quite scary too.
Did this Mrs. Zheng have nothing to do every day that she was bored to this extent?
Shi Xiaoya was thinking about it when she heard Mrs. Zheng ask especially directly, “Are the two of you still together?”
“…” Shi Xiaoya was left speechless for a moment. She thought to herself, if we were not together still, did it have anything to do with you?
Asking around about these things and even asking the person involved directly, wasn’t that a little too much?
Du Yiqin was very unhappy. In front of Shi Xiaoya, she replied first, “The two of them are still going on very well. Mrs. Zheng, what’s the matter? Why do you sound like you can’t wait for Shi Xiaoya to break up?”
“How could I!” Mrs. Zheng quickly laughed and said, “Of course I hope that Xiaoya is doing well.”
She could still remember that Du Yiqin had said previously that her boyfriend was Han Zhuoling.
Mrs. Zheng then smiled and said, “Xiaoya, why did you come back alone today? Didn’t your boyfriend come back together with you?”
She had been waiting for an opportunity to see how Shi Xiaoya’s boyfriend looked like clearly.
Ha!
Du Yiqin could really brag. She just had to say that Shi Xiaoya’s boyfriend was Han Zhuoling, of all people.
She was really so bold.
Wasn’t she afraid of blowing her cover!
Shi Xiaoya gave a cold and distant smile, which merely flashed past. She said very patronizingly, “He still has work today. He will come over after he’s done.”
However, Shi Xiaoya’s patronizing smile gave Mrs. Zheng the impression that Shi Xiaoya did not mean what she said.
Even if she felt sorrow, she could only swallow it back into her stomach.
Seeing how Shi Xiaoya was speaking tongue in cheek right now, there was probably some changes in her relationship with her boyfriend.
Either they’d had a fight or they grew apart. Anyway, they were close to breaking up.
Who knew? They might have already broken up, just that she did not want to admit it.
“He’s coming today?” Mrs. Zheng laughed and asked, “Would he suddenly not come because something cropped up?”
That would show that he really broke up with Shi Xiaoya.
What coming later because of work? It was just an excuse Du Yiqin and Shi Xiaoya came up with.
When the person did not show up later on, they would just say that he had something urgent and could not come anymore.
Du Yiqin was really laughing from anger. “Mrs. Zheng, that’s my future son-in-law, not yours. Why are you more concerned about whether he’s coming or not than I am? Why don’t I come and call you when he comes?”
How ridiculous.
Her son-in-law was visiting them. What should Mrs. Zheng come for?!
How could Mrs. Zheng not sense the roundabout way in which Du Yiqin was mocking her?
She minced her lips and said, “Aiyo, Mrs. Shi, you spoke too seriously. I asked a few sisters to come over to my house to play mahjong, I didn’t purposely come over to ask about Xiaoya’s matter.”
Du Yiqin gave a cold, patronizing laughter. She said she was going to go out just before, now she’s saying she was going to ask her sisters over to play mahjong.
“Oh, then we won’t disturb you anymore.”
