Kissed her eyes shut.

  Zhong Mu led Song Lin Cang in.

  "How was your trip?"

  "Madam, Young Master is upstairs."

  "Go get him down here, I have something to ask him."

  Aunt Chen nodded, "Okay."

  Zhong Mu took Song Lin Cang's hand and sat down, saying in a low voice, "Yu Chen likes girls with lively personalities, you shouldn't be too quiet, speak more."

  Song Lin Cang nodded, "Auntie, I understand."

  The sound of footsteps came from the stairs, Song Lincang turned his head and saw Zhong Yuchen coming down from upstairs, with Chen Ayi following behind him.

  "Mom."

  Zhong Mu heard this and opened her mouth, "Yu Chen, come sit down, I have something to say to you."

  Zhong Yuchen sat across from them and asked, "What's going on?"

  "You and Lina are getting married in a few months, I let her come over to live with you so that you two can cultivate your feelings for each other. What do you mean by driving her away?"

  "Mom, what can be cultivated is not emotions, and emotions are not cultivated in this way."

  Zhong Mu insisted, "However, Linlang must stay here. She's almost married and should settle down."

  She had an ulterior motive and believed her son would understand what she meant.

  "If mom insists on her living here, then I won't come back. Before getting married, as long as I don't have to live with her, I'd rather not do that."

  " You..." Mother Zhong frowned, "You just don't like Linlang that much?"

  "There's nothing else, I'm going up, very busy." Ignoring this question directly, Zhong Yuchen went upstairs.

  Zhong Mu was at a loss, turned her head to look at Song Lin Cang and said, "Lin Cang, why don't we just go back first? I'm afraid if we force it, it will affect your life after marriage."

  Song Lin Cang's expression was completely obedient, "Auntie, it's nothing, anyway in three months or so, we'll be getting married."

  "It's just that Yu Chen might be a bit resistant to you at first, but it will get better slowly."

  Two people left the house, Zhong's mother drove her back home and then drove back to the Zhong residence.

  Grandfather Zhong sat in the living room wearing reading glasses and reading the newspaper. Seeing her, he asked, "You don't look too good, what's wrong, didn't your son listen to you?"

  Zhong Mu sat beside him, putting down the bag in her hand. "Fortunately, this Lin is clever and reasonable. Otherwise, I'm afraid our family's Xiao Er's future marriage won't be too peaceful. They say that sons grow up and forget their mothers. This wing hasn't even hardened yet, and he's already not listening to my words."

  "This is just the beginning, what are you panicking about? The one who doesn't listen to you is in the back."

  "The son won't listen, so the daughter-in-law must be made to listen." Mother Zhong said in a low voice, "You tell me, should I secretly deal with Xiao Er's woman and get rid of her before she ruins our son's good fortune?"

  Grandfather Zhong put down the newspaper, took off his glasses, and slowly said, "No need to, he's not someone who doesn't understand things. He knows what to do in his heart, so don't interfere with such trivial matters."

  "I'm not afraid that he'll be infatuated with that woman, after all, who is in Xiao Er's heart, I as a mother can see clearly. What I'm worried about is that he'll get addicted to playing around and won't be able to stop."

  Old Master Zhong nodded, "The wedding is just a few months away, after the big wedding, don't bother with his affairs anymore, he's not a child."

  "Good."

  Song Lin Cang had just arrived at Song's house when he suddenly disappeared and returned to Jinxiu District.

  She drove her own private car, and the car did not stop at Zhong Yucheng's gate, but stopped at the entrance of Jinxiu Community.

  It just so happened that tonight, Shu Xiao Ai didn't go to the bar for work. At a little past six, she returned from filming and saw Song Lin Cang's car not far from the entrance of her residential area.

  She wanted to turn around and leave, but Song Lin Cang had already seen her in the rearview mirror and got out of the car.

  "Shu Xiao Ai!"

  Shu Xiao Ai took a step forward and replied softly, "What is it?"

  "What brings you here?"

  "You can come, why can't I?" Shu Xiao Ai retorted, "Can only you come? This isn't your home."

  "Hongtang doesn't seem to live here?"

  "I came here just to find him? Get out of the way." Shu Xiao Ai walked around her.

  Song Lin Cang returned to his car in a huff and followed Shu Xiao Ai inside.

  She walked in front, and Song Lin followed behind her.

  Xiao Ai walked very slowly and finally entered a corridor. As soon as she went in, she ran up to the second floor.

  Song Lin Cang rushed in, took a look at the stairs and quickly entered the elevator.

  The elevator doors closed and Shu Xiao Ai quickly got out and ran away.

  By the time Song Lin Cang came out of the elevator, there was no sign of Shu Xiao Ai anywhere.

  She drove and stopped at the entrance of the community, walked into the security room.

  "Hey big brother, may I ask, are you familiar with this woman?" She opened her phone and fortunately still had a photo of her and Shu Xiao Ai together.

  The middle-aged security guard looked carefully and said, "It's common, almost every day I see her, just haven't seen her entering or leaving in the past few days."

  Song Lin Cang asked again, "Big brother, where does she usually come from? Is it the east side or the west side?"

  "East."

  Song Lin Cang's mind turned, and she became somewhat suspicious. To her knowledge, there were only three households on the east side: one was an empty mansion, another had a family, and the third was Zhong Yu Chen's large mansion.

  Zhong Yuchen's mansion was planned when the community was built and occupies two-thirds of the community's land area.

  The entire neighborhood was invested by the Zhong family.

  At this moment, Song Linlang felt a little puzzled in her heart.

  Logically speaking, Zhong Yuchen and Shu Xia'ai had no intersection, and Zhong Yuchen's vision was very high. Ordinary women couldn't enter his eyes, so Song Linzhuang thought that Shu Xia'ai must be the mistress of another host.

  The more I think about it, the more likely it seems, and in my heart, I secretly feel that there's an 80% chance it's true.

  She turned around and left the security room, drove back home.

  "Baby, where did you go again just now?"

  "Mom, Mom." She sat happily beside Song Mu, "I just discovered something big."

  "What's the big deal?" Song Mu had never seen her own daughter so delighted.

  "I just went to Jinzhuang community and ran into Shu Xiao Ai, mom, you know that the eastern part is all Zhong Yuchen's houses, one of them is empty, and another one is where a couple in their fifties lives, Shu Xiao Ai is eighty percent likely to be the mistress of that fifty-something man!"

  Song Mu was shocked, "What? The third one?"

  "I asked the security guard, and he said that Shu Xiao Ai often comes here. There are only two families living there, so if she's not that man's mistress, what else could she be? His daughter? That's impossible." What she said was convincing, and it made Mother Song's ears perk up.

  "Baby girl, are you so sure?"

  "Mom, do you think Yu Chen will take a liking to her? Don't even think about it, Shu Xiao Ai has a poor and shabby air all over her. In the past when we were close, she never wore a decent piece of clothing. At that time, I didn't know any better, I just thought her parents were incompetent, their family was so poor. If it wasn't for her luck with Mu Xiang Yao's relationship, basically no one would have pursued her."

  "Also, my daughter is so precious, with a better family background and appearance than her. Yu Chen doesn't even look up to her, let alone others. Who cares about her? She's ruining herself, who can control that?"

  "Uh, my mood suddenly improved a lot, mom, I'll go confirm it these few days."

  "Why bother her so much..."

  "If it were someone else, that would be fine, but since it's her, I'll naturally go take a look...” She stood up and happily went upstairs.

  Shu Xiao Ai entered through the back door and went upstairs without any mishap.

  "Just now, I almost got discovered by Linlang."

  "Hasn't she left yet?" Zhong Yucheng asked back.

  Her car stopped at the entrance of the neighborhood, saw me and chased me all the way. I entered another corridor, lured her in, and ran out myself. I think she will find out sooner or later, hoping to know after the transaction is over, so as to avoid a lot of trouble.

  His action of drinking paused, "What if she's found out? She's still my wife, not even a girlfriend."

  "But she is your fiancée, and the role of a fiancée can be big or small. Moreover, you have your mother as a backing, I cannot confront her." She spoke frankly, "I just hope that this matter will end, so I can earn money properly and reduce some family burden for my dad. It's not easy for my dad to raise me since I was little."

  "Where's your mom?"

  Shu Xiao Ai let out a bitter laugh, "From a young age, she didn't care about me, almost never came home. I can count on one hand the number of times I saw her when I was little. Two years ago, with the remaining luggage in hand, I left and never went back. She didn't want me or my dad anymore. My dad would drink every day back then, later he found a stepmom for me, that's how things got better."

  Zhong Yuchen heard her mention her family affairs for the first time.

  "Do you still see your mother now?" Zhong Yuchen drank it all in one gulp and then put down the wine cup.

  "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" She lowered her head. "I saw her on the day of your engagement."

  Zhong Yuchen raised an eyebrow, his eyes cold and condensed, "So, I must have known you."

  "Uh-huh, you don't just know her, later on you'll have to call her mom too."

  He stood up straight, momentarily shocked, and then it was gone. "You're saying that's Song Lina's mother?"

  She raised her head and forced a wry smile, "Didn't expect that? Song Linchuang and I were good friends for several years in college, because of this, we completely broke up, it's impossible for us to be friends again."

  He sat on the edge of the bed, "Can you tell me what kind of person your mother is?"

  "What kind of person is she, can't you hear it from my words?" Shu Xiao Ai's eyes stared at a certain place, unblinking. "For her own love and wealth, she abandoned her husband and daughter. The daughter born to her and your future father-in-law is a golden brick, while the daughter born to my dad is a weed. I never expected her to give me full motherly love, as long as we were together as a family it was fine. But that dream has already shattered. I won't have such a pitiful and hateful simple thought again. Moreover, we've already agreed to thoroughly cut off our mother-daughter relationship."

  From her voice, Zhong Yuchen felt for the first time the bitterness coming from her mouth, an unspeakable sorrow that she spoke to him for the first time.

  He sat on the bed, holding her, "I didn't expect it, really didn't expect it."

  Shu Xiao Ai turned around and suddenly smiled at her, "Don't use such a pitiful tone, I'm doing great, my stepmother gave birth to a little sister for me, we're finally a family, this is something I've come to realize, it's not so bad."

  He lowered his head and suddenly kissed her eyes, she closed them, and the two lines of clear tears that had been held back for a long time flowed down from the corners of her eyes, letting him taste a hint of saltiness.
