ATBLM [QT] Chapter 116.1

Shu Xiaoyun came back in the evening, but her expression was not cheerful. When she saw the two people Jiang Rui and Yan Zhao, a smile appeared on her face.

Seeing that she was worried, Yan Zhao sat for a while and then left. As soon as he left, Shu Xiaoyun frowned even more sadly.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” Jiang Rui asked her softly.

Shu Xiaoyun touched her face and sighed, “Manman, I met your second cousin today.”

The so-called cousin was the cousin of Shu Manman’s biological father. Jiang Rui remembered that she was one of the few decent people in that family.

“Is Jiang Lei trying to cause trouble for us?” Jiang Rui did not want to call the man father. Shu Manman had never called him father since she left with Shu Xiaoyun.

Shu Xiaoyun said: “Your cousin told me that something happened to their family.”

At that time, the Jiang family forced Shu Xiaoyun to leave the house with her daughter. Not long after, they took a daughter-in-law, and the new daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson the next year. The Jiang family was so proud that everyone said that Shu Xiaoyun was unlucky and that was why she could not give birth to a son.

The result was not happy for long. Not long ago, the new daughter-in-law suddenly ran away with her son. Only then did everyone know that the little boy was not from the Jiang family at all. Jiang Lei was cuckolded, made a green-headed turtle, and raised a son for someone else, and they were very proud of it!

This made everyone laugh so hard. They married a bad wife instead of a good and virtuous wife in the past. As expected, evil people still need to be punished by evil people!

“Isn’t this a good thing? What is Mom worried about?” Jiang Rui asked doubtfully.

Shu Xiaoyun frowned and said: “Your second cousin said that your grandma heard from somewhere that we have a store under our name. She is now planning to ask your father to get back together with me. With the virtues of their family, I’m afraid they can really do such a thing.”

Jiang Rui sneered: “They said they get back together when they want to get back together? They really put gold on their own face. Don’t be afraid, Mom. We’re not afraid of them coming, just afraid they won’t come. No matter who it is, I will give them a good beating first to vent your anger!”

Shu Xiaoyun was originally very worried, but seeing her daughter acting like a ruffian and a bully, she could not help but tap her forehead. “You’re a girl with a small body. How do you hit that and this every time you want? Listen to Mom, if they really come one day, you should hide out first. Do you understand?”

Shu Xiaoyun was tired of the Jiang family and knew that if they were really interested, they would get entangled. She did not care anymore because she was afraid that her daughter would be frightened.

Jiang Rui held her hand and said nothing. When she said a beating, she was not bragging in front of Shu Xiaoyun. If the Jiang family dares to come, she will not be polite. Anyway, with her ability, there are many ways to make Jiang Lei half-dead without exposing herself.

However, what she can do is only for a while. She can’t stay with Shu Xiaoyun all the time. When she goes to college or gets married, it will always be worrying to leave her alone. Moreover, Shu Manman’s original wish is not only for Shu Xiaoyun not to be sad anymore but also for her to be happy.

She raised her head and looked at Shu Xiaoyun. She was less than forty years old, with a round face which made her not look old, fair skin, and a gentle temperament.

Why should such a person waste half her life with a scumbag like Jiang Lei? Why should she be worried after getting divorced for fear of being coveted for her family property?

She suddenly asked softly: “Mom, are you not going to find me a father again?” She knew that someone had been interested in Shu Xiaoyun for a long time, but she never nodded.

Shu Xiaoyun was startled and then blushed, looking less and less like she already had a high school daughter. She said angrily: “Children, why are you asking this?”

In fact, since her divorce, people she knows have been urging her to remarry while she still is young. Sometimes she was alone with her sick daughter, and when she really felt that she could not hold on any longer, she secretly cried several times and wanted someone to lean on.

But she gritted her teeth and persevered, not for anything else, just to prevent her daughter from being wronged. Because even her biological father disliked her because of her frailty. How dare Shu Xiaoyun expect an unrelated person to love her Manman?

“I’m not young anymore. You see, I already had a boyfriend. In another year, I will go to college somewhere else. When I graduate from college, I will be a real adult. Mom, you are still young. Even if you don’t want to get married again, you don’t have to devote your whole life to me.”

“You can learn from other aunties on the street, sing and dance when you feel like it, or travel when you want to go out. The world is so big and there is not just one narrow Lotus Street. There are so many interesting things in the world. Besides raising a daughter, you can also try other things.”

Shu Xiaoyun was taken aback again and jokingly said: “Why? Do you think it’s annoying that your mother is always taking care of you?”

Jiang Rui wrapped her arm around her and said, “How could that be? I just think that since my mother is so beautiful, it would be a pity not to go out and hook up with some handsome guys.”

“The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. You are still a little girl!” Shu Xiaoyun had a straight face, but there was a smile in her eyes.

The two spoke for a while. Seeing that the sorrow of Shu Xiaoyun’s eyebrows was all unfolding, Jiang Rui said what Yan Zhao said today: “Yan Zhao said his mother wants to see me.”

When Shu Xiaoyun heard this, she hesitated and said: “I heard that Yan Zhao’s family is well off. Our family is like this… won’t his family like it?”

Her worries are not unreasonable. If the two children just talk about being friends with each other, they are young now and the future will be very variable, so there is no need to consider the family situation of both parties for the time being.

But now that Yan Zhao’s mother asked to meet, Shu Xiaoyun was afraid that her daughter’s score would be reduced due to her family’s situation.

“Probably not. If his family has any objections, we will break up in the worst case. My mother has loved me for so many years, and you didn’t just want me to go to someone else’s house to compromise.” Jiang Rui said.

“That’s why you are a child. It is so easy to break up a relationship.” Shu Xiaoyun said to her, “When you are a guest in their home, you cannot say such things casually.”

“I know.” Jiang Rui nodded. She would naturally know when to say something. What she said just now was to reassure Shu Xiaoyun and let her know that she would not endure the injustice for nothing.

“Did Yan Zhao say when?” Shu Xiaoyun asked again.

“He wants me to go tomorrow.”

Shu Xiaoyun was startled, looked at the time, and pulled her out, “You two children, you make decisions too casually. Let’s go for a walk. Go shopping with your mother on the street. When visiting other people’s homes, don’t be too rude.”

At the Yan family dinner table, Yan Zhao also said: “I invite my girlfriend to come to my house at noon tomorrow.”

Several people at the table were having a meal. Su Li suddenly waved her hand and hit him on the back of the head, “You damn boy, would you have been killed if you had told me earlier?”

After saying that, she did not eat. She got up to find a nanny to prepare for the overnight cleaning.

“Brother, what is your girlfriend?” Yan Xing asked, tilting his head.

Yan Zhao glanced at him and said, “A girlfriend is a girlfriend.”

Yan Xing wrinkled his nose and asked Yan’s father again: “Dad, what is a girlfriend?”

“Hmm…” Yan’s father thought, thinking of an explanation that is more suitable for children, “A girlfriend is a girl who can play with you all the time.”

Yan Xing’s eyes lit up and asked Yan Zhao: “Brother, how many girlfriends do you have?”

“What does a little kid know?” Yan Zhao said impatiently, “Of course, I only have one girlfriend.”

Unexpectedly, Yan Xing suddenly became happy: “Brother is so stupid. He only has one girlfriend, but I have three!”

He slid off the chair with a groan and walked excitedly to Su Li with his short legs: “Mom, Mom, I have three girlfriends! I also want to invite my girlfriends to my house to play!”

Yan Zhao looked at his father in silence.

Yan’s father coughed dryly and said, “Why are all the people gone after dinner?”
