The next morning, Yang Cheng woke up a little earlier than usual. He didn't know if it was because of the stress, but he didn't want to stay in bed anymore. Fortunately, sleep wasn't a necessity for him. It was good to spend less time sleeping and more time thinking about how to deal with his relationship problems.
When he went downstairs for breakfast, Mother Wang was busy in the kitchen. Lin Ruoxi hadn't come downstairs because it was Sunday. General Lin must be exhausted after a busy day yesterday.
It just so happened that Zhenxiu and Guo Xuehua were at the dining table. Guo Xuehua treated Zhenxiu like her own daughter. She kept asking Zhenxiu to eat this and that, wanting to stuff everything on the table into her stomach.
Seeing that Yang Cheng came downstairs so early, Guo Xuehua was delighted. "Son, you came down so early. You can be of help."
Yang Cheng was stunned. "What help?"
"Zhenxiu's school has classes on Sunday. You can send her to school after she has her breakfast. She won't have to take the bus again. You have nothing to do anyway," Guo Xuehua said.
Zhenxiu shook her head. "Aunt Guo, it's fine. I won't be late even if I take the bus."
"It's not a matter of being late. Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight from studying. Brother Yang has nothing to do anyway, it's not a big deal to use his labor," Guo Xuehua said as she made up her mind. She even smiled at Yang Chen and said, "Isn't that right, my good son?"
How could Yang Cheng say "no"? Not to mention that he was happy to send Zhenxiu home. Even if it was to leave a good impression on Guo Xuehua so that she could meet Ma Guifang, Yang Cheng had to agree.
Seeing that Yang Cheng agreed readily, Zhenxiu didn't say anything else. She smiled sweetly at Guo Xuehua.
Yang Cheng finished his breakfast quickly. He had a bowl of porridge and a few buns before finishing it with Zhenxiu.
Guo Xuehua sent the two of them to the courtyard. She even asked Zhenxiu to go home early for dinner.
This made Yang Chen rather depressed. In the past, when he didn't have a good relationship with his mother, she would always be concerned about him. Now that their relationship had improved, she wasn't as passionate as before. Instead, she was more concerned about Zhenxiu.
When they got in the car, Yang Cheng started the car and said to Zhenxiu with a smile, "Girl, I think you're really my sister now. Look at how my mother treats you. Others think that I'm adopted and you're her biological daughter."
Zhenxiu pouted and playfully glanced at Yang Cheng. "Big Brother Yang, you're so naughty. You always make things difficult for Auntie Guo. I'm obedient."
Yang Cheng naturally knew what this girl was talking about. He smiled awkwardly and scratched his face. He didn't argue with her. There was nothing to argue about on this topic. He curled his lips and stepped on the gas pedal to drive to Zhenxiu's school.
In the courtyard, Guo Xuehua watched the car leave. Her eyes were full of relief. Every time she saw Yang Cheng drive out of the house, she felt a sense of security.
After a while, Guo Xuehua turned around and was about to return to her house. She happened to see a middle-aged woman walking out of Qiangwei's house.
The middle-aged woman in plain clothes looked unfamiliar. But as a woman, Guo Xuehua could tell that she must have been a beauty when she was young.
This woman was, of course, Ma Guifang, who was temporarily living with her daughter, Mo Qianni, in Qiangwei's house.
Ma Guifang had been living in Zhonghai for quite some time. But because Guo Xuehua didn't go to Qiangwei's house these days, they didn't see each other.
At this time, Ma Guifang walked into the courtyard and happened to see Guo Xuehua.
The two women of similar age looked at each other. It was quite refreshing. One was graceful and elegant, and the other was plain and delicate. But both could see the vicissitudes of life in each other's eyes.
Since they met and they were neighbors, of course, they had to greet each other.
Guo Xuehua walked up to them. She smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Guo Xuehua. I live here. Sister, I've never seen you before. Are you new here? Are you Qiangwei's relative? "
Ma Guifang heard Guo Xuehua calling her 'sister'. It was quite intimate. She was unfamiliar with Zhonghai, but she actually met a neighbor who was about the same age as her. She immediately wanted to make friends with her. Moreover, at her age, she had seen a lot of people. She could tell that Guo Xuehua had a good character at first glance.
"Oh, I'm Ma Guifang. I'm not Qiangwei's relative. I'm Mo Qianni's mother," Ma Guifang smiled and said, "I just moved here not long ago. I'm not feeling well, and I can't stay in my hometown anymore. That's why I came to look for my daughter."
Guo Xuehua could tell that Ma Guifang was from Sichuan Province from her accent. She didn't suspect anything. She took a closer look and found that she did resemble Mo Qianni. She smiled and said, "So you're Qianni's mother. I heard from Qianni that she has a mother at home. Sister Ma, you came at the right time. The children in our families are busy during the day. It's just me and Sister Wang at home. It's boring. Since Sister Ma is here, there's more people to talk to. "
Ma Guifang smiled and said, "Since you call me sister, I'll call you Sister Xuehua. So you know my daughter. My daughter is really too much. She didn't even tell me who her neighbor is. "
"That's because Qianni is busy. That child is beautiful and sensible. Sister Ma really has a good daughter. But it's also thanks to Sister Ma's good looks that Qianni can be so pretty!" Guo Xuehua appropriately praised Ma Guifang and her daughter.
Ma Guifang's greatest pride was having an outstanding daughter. Hearing this, she was especially pleased. Her eyes narrowed into slits as she said, "Sister Xuehua, what are you saying? I'm just a rough person from the mountains. How could I possibly teach my daughter? It's all thanks to her hard work. Oh right, is Sister Xuehua's son or daughter? "
Originally, Ma Guifang was going to work at Auntie Xiang's Szechuan restaurant. Now that she had bumped into Guo Xuehua, she forgot about that and started chatting excitedly.
At her age, it was impossible for a woman to stop talking when she met her opponent.
Since Guo Xuehua started talking about her children, she naturally said everything she could. But because of the Yang Family's special background, it wasn't convenient for her to talk about it. She only said that she had a son and that his son and daughter-in-law were living together.
When she mentioned that her daughter-in-law was Qianni's good sister and the CEO of Qianni's company, Ma Guifang was shocked. She blamed Mo Qianni in her heart. Why didn't she tell her that Lin Ruoxi was living next door?
After all, Mo Qianni was indebted to the old CEO of Yu Lei. So, Ma Guifang naturally knew that the current CEO of Yu Lei was Lin Ruoxi.
She didn't know that it wasn't that Mo Qianni didn't dare to let her know that Lin Ruoxi was living next door. She was just worried that Ma Guifang would find out that Lin Ruoxi and Yang Cheng were husband and wife!
These days, Mo Qianni was always on tenterhooks. She was afraid that her mother would find out, but she didn't have any reason to let her mother live separately. So, she could only bite the bullet and wait for Yang Cheng to solve the problem.
During their conversation, Guo Xuehua intentionally avoided some questions, but Ma Guifang had nothing to hide.
When Guo Xuehua asked her when she would find a boyfriend for Mo Qianni, Ma Guifang smiled and said, "That girl has already found a boyfriend. He's not bad, and he doesn't look down on a country bumpkin like me. Two days ago, we agreed to meet the parents of both parties. Maybe the in-laws are busy, so they haven't set a date yet. "
"That's great. I've always thought that Qianni is a good girl. If my son didn't get married so early, I might even want to matchmake Qianni with my son. So Qianni has a boyfriend. That girl is really something. I asked her before, but she didn't say anything. "Guo Xuehua said with a smile.
If it were a few days ago, Guo Xuehua might have felt that it was a pity because she always thought that Mo Qianni was more suitable as a daughter-in-law than Lin Ruoxi. But now, Lin Ruoxi's performance was so perfect that she didn't care that Mo Qianni had a boyfriend. She just wanted to give her blessings.
Next, Ma Guifang flattered Yang Cheng, her future son-in-law. Although she didn't mention his name, she talked about his merits and said that he was an unparalleled infatuated man!
Guo Xuehua listened and felt that this young man was good. No wonder Mo Qianni liked him. He was so much better than her playboy son!
Guo Xuehua, who was full of pity, didn't know that the "good man" that Ma Guifang mentioned was her playboy son, Yang Cheng!
No matter how they talked, they were all the same person!
