Chapter 55 Snobbish
While Zhou Lin and Yun Xi were eating sweet strawberries in the greenhouse of Old Master Zhou’s old friend, on the other hand, Yun Lian’s life was quite miserable.
Yun Lian was kicked out of the Zhou family’s old residence because she burned down the kitchen. She did not have much money on her, so she could only follow Zhou Mo and wait for him to arrange a new way out for her.
Zhou Mo had once suggested that he would send her back to the village first, but Yun Lian felt that she had not gained anything from this trip. If she returned to her village before Yun Xi, she might even be abused by her adoptive mother.
Therefore, she rejected this suggestion and continued to pretend to be pitiful to make this man soften his heart. Zhou Mo could only find other ways to settle her down.
With no other choice, Zhou Mo could only bring Yun Lian back to his parents’ house. What followed was a thrilling battle between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
When Yun Lian was brought home by Zhou Mo, his father, Zhou Zheng, knew of her existence. When Yun Lian walked into the house, Zhou Zheng was reading a newspaper on the sofa.
Yun Lian looked at Zhou Mo’s father’s stern and cold face. She was a little afraid.
“Hello, Uncle Zhou.”
Yun Lian tried to get closer to Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng ignored her and only focused on reading the newspaper. Zhou Mo’s mother was busy in the kitchen and did not notice that a new person had arrived.
Seeing that Zhou Zheng ignored her, Yun Lian had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the kitchen.
“Hello, Auntie. My name Is Yun Lian.”
Yun Lian said with a smile. She looked at the beautiful woman in front of her as if she was looking at her mother-in-law. Zhou Mo’s mother, Qian Yun, was wearing a navy blue silk nightgown. Her face was also well-maintained. It was impossible to tell that she was a mother who had given birth to a child that was almost 20 years old.
Hearing Yun Lian’s words, Qian Yun raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her, who was dressed very simply.
To be honest, Zhou Mo’s mother was a bit of a gold digger. Therefore, when she knew her son was going to break off the engagement with the girl in the remote countryside, she was very supportive of her son’s idea.
Now that she saw that her son had brought back a very plain girl, although she did not show it, she was very dissatisfied.
Qian Yun looked at her son and scolded him internally, ‘Why are you so muddle-headed? Why would you find such a poor girl?’ “Mom, what delicious food did you make?”
The first thing Zhou Mo did when he got home was to look at the small casserole next to Qian
Yun.
“This is the bird’s nest I made.”
Yun Lian gulped when she heard the words “bird’s nest”. She had only heard of this kind of food but had never eaten it before.
When her adoptive father was a low-ranking official, he was lucky enough to get a bird’s nest. Nevertheless, all the good stuff ended up in her younger brother’s stomach. She did not even get to drink even the soup. The image of her younger brother licking his lips was still imprinted in her mind.
Yun Lian thought that she might be able to take advantage of this opportunity to taste such a precious thing today. What exactly did it taste like?
Qian Yun was also a very shrewd woman. She could see through Yun Lian’s thoughts just from her small movements.
“Son, you brought a guest home. Aren’t you going to wash some fruits for her?” “Huh? Oh.”
Zhou Mo replied to his mother and walked out.
“Son, there are a few better apples on that coffee table. Hurry up and bring them over!”
Actually, there were more expensive fruits on the coffee table, but Qian Yun felt that it was a waste to give them to Yun Lian. Hence, she only ordered her son to bring the cheapest apples to entertain her.
This way, Qian Yun would seem courteous but also showed that she did not like Yun Lian.
“Thank you, Auntie.”
Yun Lian could only thank her. She did not know what else to say.
Fortunately, Zhou Mo was quick and washed a few apples. He put the washed apples on the fruit plate on the coffee table and picked a big red one to give to his goddess. “Here you go.”
Qian Yun looked at her son’s useless appearance and felt disappointed. She thought she had gotten rid of a poor girl, but she did not expect him to bring back a girl that was even more unfavorable to her.
She must interrupt her son’s thoughts about this girl.
