Chapter 170: His Mother, Whom He Knew Best
young, and her short, unsuccessful marriage as an adult, had filled her with dread about the institution of marriage.Aunt Liu seemed to see through her thoughts, just as Mrs. Fu had said.“Tinglan, don...She said she was going to visit my father. 。Lu YaoYao answered without a flaw, wanting to clear herself of any involvement, stating she wasn't participating in their affairs. Who said she was stupid She was smart. 。Zhuo Yu'an stopped talking, but he kept staring at her, his eyes blazing with anger and danger. 。Lu Yaoyao ducked behind Lu Kuo again and then poked her head out, saying:
"I really didn't bring Teacher Cheng to meet Lawyer Shu. I'm not tired of living! It was Teacher Cheng who came to find Lawyer Shu herself. But don't worry, Teacher Cheng didn't make things difficult for her. Not only did she not make things difficult, but she was also very polite." 。Lu Yaoyao said truthfully. 。"The acquisition project of Lisan Real Estate, was that what her mother introduced to Tinglan" Zhuo Yu'an couldn't understand for a moment what his mother was trying to do. 。"I don't really know, but it's possible. When she was listening to Whale Finance, she heard that Lawyer Shu specialized in these types of cases and they even added each other on WeChat." 。"
How did she know about Tinglan's existence” This is a question that Zhuo Yuyan is very concerned about. 。He and Shu Tinglan are very low-key outside, even in front of those who pay attention, they would at most just think their relationship is ambiguous. 。Lu Yaoyao didn't know whether she should say anything about those photos and videos. 。After some consideration, I think the consequences of hiding this would be worse, so I just told them. 。Someone sent Teacher Cheng photos of you and Lawyer Shu. 。"A picture" Zhu Yu'an was puzzled. He realized that he and Tinglan rarely took pictures together, almost none at all. 。Well, many intimate photos and videos. It could be Tinglan's rival, or your rival, or even an opponent of your Zhuo family. In short, their intentions are impure. 。"Lu Yaoyao remembered the photos and videos of Zhuo Yu'an on Teacher Cheng's phone. He was so gentle and charming in them. Looking at his "fierce" appearance now, he was completely different." 。As soon as Lu Yaoyao said this, Zhuo Yunan and Lu Kuo looked at each other, both thinking of the same person at the same time: Wen Jian. 。Only she had both the motive and opportunity to take those photos. 。
"It's none of my business, you know Mr. Cheng, he wouldn't let me say anything, I wouldn't dare to." 。Besides, she didn't really make things difficult for Lawyer Shu. She was always polite, you see She even introduced her to a job! 。Lu Yaoyao said, seeing that Zhuo Yunan didn't seem to blame her, she breathed a sigh of relief and quietly stepped back. "I still have to shoot scenes on set, I'm going back now." 。He vanished into thin air after that. 。Zuo Yu'an and Lu Kuo drove back to the city, their mood heavier than when they arrived. 。When I first saw her, I still had a glimmer of hope that she was Lu Yao's acquaintance, another older woman. Now, it feels almost like a death sentence. 。His mother was not a gentle and tolerant person, which he knew best. This was the reason why he had never brought Tinglan back home. He didn't want Tinglan to be subjected to his parents' anger. If possible, he wouldn't mind if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law never interacted for their whole lives. 。Furthermore, he knew his father would be transferred back to the capital in half a year. His original plan was to wait until his father's position stabilized before slowly discussing Tinglan with them. If they could accept it, that would be best; if not, it wouldn't matter either way. 。At this juncture, being the only child of the Zhuo family, he couldn't offer any help with his father's transfer, at least he wouldn't cause trouble. 。Go back and have a good talk with Teacher Cheng. Don't rush into anything. 。"Lu Kuo sent him to the Zhuo family's doorstep before remembering to say something, then without a shred of loyalty, he slammed his foot on the gas and sped away." 。Both Lu's siblings were afraid of Teacher Cheng. No, to be more precise, all the children in the family compound back then were afraid of her. Whenever they saw her, they would scurry away like mice seeing a cat. That was a childhood nightmare. 。。As soon as you walk in, there's a sense of solemnity. This is also why Zhu Yu’an, despite being in Senzhou, would rather stay in a hotel than return home. 。By now, it was late at night. He went home full of anxiety and wanted to have a good talk with his mother, but late at night wasn't the right time for such a conversation. After greeting his parents, he returned to his room, which had been unoccupied for a long time, and went to sleep. 。Mother came knocking.
"Auntie made some dessert, would you like a bowl" Cheng Zhimin asked with concern, vaguely guessing the reason for his sudden return home, but since he didn't bring it up, she wouldn't bring it up either. 。No, let's talk about it tomorrow. 。Okay. 。They both knew each other well and were engaged in a silent psychological battle. 。This is the way they get along, and it's also what Grandpa Zhu has always emphasized: major events are discussed after a meal. 。The bigger the matter, the more you need to keep your cool. Remain calm and composed. 。So one hides things better than the other. 。Zuo Y uan seldom slept in this house. Coupled with something on his mind, of course he couldn't sleep. He was guessing his mother's state of mind while thinking about Shu Tinglan. 。
I woke up groggy from a brief nap in the early morning and was called by her mother to eat breakfast. 。You rarely come back, Auntie got up early to make this for you, eat it while it's hot. 。Zuo YUAN finished his breakfast in silence. During this time, his mother kept a cool head, acting as if he had simply come home for one night and not mentioning anything else. 。"Mom, let's talk in the study. " 。His father had already gone to work, leaving only him and his mother at home. 。
"Good" 。Cheng Zhimn instructed the aunt to throw away any leftovers and not leave them, then got up and walked towards the study. 。To be honest, she was a bit afraid of her son, especially when he didn't speak. His aura was even more intimidating than her husband, Zhuo Hong. After all, the old man had raised him single-handedly, instilling in him his own spirit and vigor. 。On both sides of the study, bookshelves stretched from floor to ceiling. In the morning, sunlight streamed through the windows, casting light and shadow across the silent room. 。The two people didn't look like mother and son at all, more like colleagues. 。Zhu YUAN opened his mouth first, his voice indescribably cold: “Mom, if I'm not mistaken, when I went home for the Spring Festival, I told you not to interfere in my affairs.” 。"What happened" Cheng Zhimin remained calm. He didn't say anything, so she pretended not to know. 。During the Spring Festival, you sent people to investigate Wen Jian and Lin Zhifei without my knowledge. You arranged a blind date with the Li family, which I told you was my red line and that you should never interfere with it in the future. 。Matters of the heart, I have my own plans and schemes. 。“I haven't interfered with you. For so many years, you've been free and easy outside. When have I ever bothered you” Cheng Zhimin continued to feign ignorance. 。"Mom, did you go find Tinglan" 。He's not beating around the bush anymore. 。"Oh, Ms. Shu I didn't go looking for her specifically. I just happened to meet her while I was listening to the Whale Finance presentation. We chatted for a bit." 。"When it comes to ginger, the older ones are spicier. You know her motives aren't pure, you know she has an ulterior agenda, but her words are as airtight as a drum, leaving you with no clue whatsoever." 。He changed the subject: "What's with those photos""You know about the photos" Those photos were Cheng Zhimin's biggest worry, so she didn't hide them. 。ally friendly and harmless, and they are also gentle on the skin. But after a short while, Tinglan still hurriedly took it off for her, afraid of irritating her skin. 。The whole Zhu family is very hea...
