Only Su Baihe has been running a small shop for many years, spending her days in the shop, feeling like each day drags on endlessly, and she is utterly exhausted.
Now, meeting her classmates again, she feels that compared to them, she has really aged and lost her charm.
“Not at all, no matter what, I can’t compare to you, Xiufen. Come on in, everyone, take a seat!”
Su Baihe warmly invited her classmates in, while Zhang Xiulan deliberately showed off her emerald green jade bracelet, boasting,
“See this? My son-in-law just bought this for me the other day. It’s worth over 300,000 yuan!”
Hearing this, Su Baihe could only force a smile, but then Zhang Xiulan suddenly shifted the topic to her.
“Oh, by the way, Baihe, you mentioned on the phone that your Xiaoxian has a boyfriend now. Why hasn’t he shown any filial piety to you? Let us meet him!”
Su Baihe’s hands were bare, and she helplessly pointed next door.
“They live right next door!”
“Next door? Hey, hey, everyone, come and listen! I heard that young people these days are much more playful than we were back in the day!”
Hearing that Su Baihe’s daughter and her boyfriend lived next door, Zhang Xiulan’s curiosity was piqued.
She called everyone over to the innermost room, almost pressing her entire body against the wall.
“Oh…. hmm….”
As soon as Zhang Xiulan leaned against the wall, she seemed to hear strange noises coming from next door.
“Oh dear, Baihe, look at your bare hands. Could it be that your daughter has been deceived?”
“That’s right, Baihe. Your daughter is a university student; she must have many suitors. Don’t let her be taken advantage of so easily.”
Hearing such excitement next door, Zhang Xiulan started causing trouble again.
Initially, Su Baihe felt quite embarrassed upon hearing the strange noises, but she immediately shook her head.
“That’s impossible. I’ve met that young man; he’s very good. And he paid for this room, which must not be cheap!”
“Besides, this is my first time here. Even if he wanted to show filial piety, he probably didn’t have time to prepare anything!”
Su Baihe’s explanation was reasonable, and everyone stopped pressing the issue.
“Alright, alright, since you’re here, don’t leave. The room is big enough; stay here tonight, and tomorrow he can arrange to take us out for a meal!”
Facing her old classmates, Su Baihe couldn’t bring herself to send them away and had to let them stay.
“By the way, Auntie, how long are you planning to stay in Huayang City this time?”
“I’m not sure. She didn’t tell me, just said she came to visit. Usually, she only stays for two or three days before going back.”
By now, Xu Fei and Wang Zhixian had already gone next door and rang the doorbell.
“Oh, when did such a handsome young man and beautiful girl appear at the door? It’s you two! Come in, come in!”
The door opened, but instead of Su Baihe, an auntie they didn’t know came out, which made them feel a bit awkward.
“Did we get the wrong room?”
“No, no, you didn’t. Mom is here!”
Su Baihe came out from inside and, seeing the confusion on her daughter and Xu Fei’s faces, quickly explained.
