In a twinkling of an eye, it came to Friday. In the afternoon, a white car drove into Mo Villa, where three women were sitting inside, a middle-aged woman together with two young girls. The middle-aged woman was Li Qin’s sister, Li Ya. As for the other two young girls, one was Li Yumo, the other was her classmate, Shu Man.
Li Qin laughed too happily to even close her mouth. The kind of joy and excitement were written clearly on her face.
She hurried over and grasped Li Yumo’s hand, who was, in her heart, her future daughter-in-law already.
“Yumo, are you tired after work? I had intended for the driver to pick you up at school, but the driver at home has asked for leave.” Li Qin said with a big smile.
The more she looked at this girl, the more satisfied she felt. Tall and beautiful, with redness shining out of the white skin, she could tell this girl was born from a nice family in one sight.
The girl’s face was tinged with a touch of redness. Although she had gone onsome arranged dates before, yet it was the first time that she was invited by a man’s mother to their home, even though she had not met that man once.
“Nice to meet you, aunt…” Li Yumo seemed a little shy and embarrassed, her heart beating very fast. She looked inside the house, but did not find the figure of the man.
Li Qin made an invitation gesture and said, “Feel at home, Yumo. We’ll be a family in the future. What is a family member embarrassed for?” After that, she then cast a look at her younger sister and another girl standing aside.
She hadn’t seen this girl before, but felt a little familiar, like… He Xiyan?
“This is…” Li Qin pointed to Shu Man, who was standing by playing with her mobile phone. She looked at this girl with a trace of doubt.
Li Ya said, “Sister, this is Yumo’s friend, named Shu Man. She is a classmate and colleague of Yumo. Yumo has not been in any love relationship yet, so she feels shy. Therefore, she asks her friend to accompany her here.”
Li Qin responded with “oh”. Hearing that she was a colleague of Yumo, she immediately put on a kind and friendly smile. Yumo was a teacher in the university, so this Miss Shu must be the same, an intellectual, presumably a good girl as well.
Shu Man raised her mouth corner slightly, giving a mechanical smile. She politely nodded to Li Qin and said, “Nice to meet you, aunt.”
Li Qin also smiled and nodded. “Nice to see you, to see you.”
These several women walked into the living room, talking and laughing.
On the tea table in the living room, there were five or six plates of food, fruit and some delicate snacks, which were prepared by maids at home at Li Qin’s order.
Soon, Wu Xiaomin brought the newly soaked Longjing tea. She looked at Li Yumo and then at Shu Man, no happiness perceivable on her face.
She only knew that the old lady was looking for a new daughter-in-law, but she also knew that the sir, with no intentions of getting remarried at all, only wanted sister He back.
Therefore, it was doubtless that the old lady’s efforts would be in vain this time.
“Yumo, you are not busy with your work lately, right?” Li Qin looked at the girl beside her, with great satisfaction and excitement beyond words. If Yixuan had known such a girl earlier, she thought, how perfect it would be. Then he would not have suffered so much from feelings, neither would he have been cheated out of so much money.
Li Yumo’s hands were overlapped on her legs, a trace of embarrassment and shyness remaining on her face. Meanwhile, she cast a look at the direction of the door from time to time, as if expecting someone to appear.
“Aunt, isn’t he at home?” After a while, she finally couldn’t help asking.
