Lu Yanchen leaned back on the couch, looking somewhat speechless.
“… All the while, I thought that you guys got married out of love. Who would have thought that it was actually…” As Shen Lingshuang said that, her eyes reddened. “Hais! You’re already so old now and have your own ideas about things, and you’re old enough to take responsibility for your choices. But, I really hope that you don’t do things on impulse. You must think well before going through with things lest you regret them in the future. In this world, there’s no such thing as medicine for regret.”
The more she said, the more Shen Lingshuang found herself unable to contain her sniffling.
Back then when her son had returned after falling out of love, it was as though he was crippled. That first love of his was someone that couldn’t even be mentioned. At a single mention of her, his eyes would turn bloodshot red, looking as though he was going to devour them at any time.
What sort of a relations.h.i.+p was that? It was more like he had returned after seeking vendetta.
During that period of time, he had even fallen severely ill.
It was only after returning to the military for about two years that he had seemed to recover from it.
Even though he seemed like he was alright now, as his mother, she knew that he was still really miserable in his heart at times. That’s the reason why he would often sit in a corner for an entire day at times, licking the wounds of his heart all by himself.
The sort of emotions that he was going through were probably something that only he himself knew.
Since he was young, her son had always been so outstanding and smart. Perhaps it was precisely because of that that he had always sought for perfection, that the person of his choice must be one that he fancied personally—and of course, to that, she was fully agreeable.
Any child of the Lus shouldn’t have to make do, much less in the department of love.
Who would have guessed that he would have fallen so deep into the pit of love that he nearly could not get out from it!
And all of that was because of that girl.
As his mother, now that she knew that he was married to THAT girl, how could she feel nothing about it and just let them be?
…
Early in the morning, grandma had gone with little auntie to the market and purchased tons of groceries.
She was kept busy the entire morning. In fact, she probably hadn’t even slept much from the previous night. Things would have been better if she did not know, but after Lu Yanchen came to inform her that his father was in Kyoto for an important meeting, she could tell that he was probably not a man of a normal status, and neither were the Lus.
Because of that, she was even more nervous.
“Littly, how does grandma look?” Ever since s.h.i.+ Guang could remember, this was the first time she had seen grandma so concerned about her appearance.
She smiled out and leaned on her grandma. “Of course, you’re the prettiest in my heart, grandma.”
“You little sweet tongued la.s.s!”
10am… They were about done preparing as they waited for Lu Yanchen and his mother.
Grandma was mumbling about how their place might not be enough to accommodate the Lus if they were to bring bodyguards along since their family status was clearly rather extraordinary.
At that, s.h.i.+ Guang’s entire head creased with wrinkles, not knowing to cry or to laugh.
Mo Jin even burst out laughing right away.
Just as the entire family was chatting happily, the doorbell rang.
Everyone thought that Lu Yanchen had arrived. But, when they opened the door, they heard grumbles. “Aiyoh! Sister-in-law! Why did you take so long to open the door? You should be thankful that we were the ones waiting outside! If it were the Lus, they would probably say you’re being rude…!”
Not only was Mother Qiao there, so was Qiao Yuwei and Grandma Su.
Instantly, the atmosphere of the entire place changed as grandma’s face clearly turned black while little auntie’s face was filled with awkwardness. “Why are you guys here?”
Mother Qiao sn.i.g.g.e.red out, “Didn’t you guys say that s.h.i.+ Guang was going to discuss the wedding with the other side today? That’s why we’re here! Many hands make light work!”
Everyone else were speechless. “…”
Many hands make light work? Does she think this is a mafia gang going for a fight?
