After speaking, he took Shu Tinglan’s arm and prepared to go back to the bedroom, not letting her be wronged here. Even in front of his own mother, he was protective of her. 。Shutinglan, hearing the subtle criticism in Cheng Zhimin’s words, knew it wasn’t really about the furniture. It was about her, her lack of sophistication and elegance. Using the furniture as an example was just a way to put her down. 。Her hand, which was being held by Zhuo Yu’an, was icy even in the summer heat. She silently broke free from his protection and stood before Cheng Zhimin. “Auntie, let me give you a tour,” 。”Just put on the mindset of the homeowner, at least this house is under her name, isn’t it? She is rightfully the owner of this house.” 。Zuo Yu’an saw this and the gloomy feeling he had just moments ago instantly vanished. The look in his eyes was one of encouragement. 。Cheng Zhimin certainly knew Shu Tinglan’s intentions, but seeing her son Zhuo Yu’an so obviously protective made her heart a little cold. 。then began to tour the house leisurely 。The house is big, and it’s kept very clean and tidy because the clubhouse cleaners come regularly to clean. 。Cheng Zhimin’s facial expression betrayed her disdain, which wasn’t feigned but genuine revulsion at the cheap furniture. 。”Yu’an, throw away all these furniture, Mom will buy you a new set.” 。”
And what are all these random paintings on the walls? I have a few of your grandfather’s collections, I had them sent over. ” 。”Even if the relationship with her son has grown distant, he’s still her son and she has the right to manage his household. She doesn’t find anything wrong with that.” 。Lu Yao yao on the side pretended to be dead, hiding aside, wishing she could be invisible. 。”Mom, I like these things, don’t touch them.” 。He wanted to say that this house was Listen’s responsibility, and you all shouldn’t interfere, but he didn’t want to shift his mother’s attention onto Listen. So he stepped forward to block it. 。On the other hand, Shu Tinglan had a sincere expression on his face and said to Cheng Zhimin: “Auntie, you also think these furniture and paintings are ugly and out of place, right? Actually, these were bought, they were bought in a hurry. I still wanted to choose some more, but Yu An thought they looked good and paid for them while I wasn’t paying attention.” 。Her sincerity was such that even Zhu Yu’an didn’t know if she was telling the truth or not. 。Cheng Zhimin didn’t expect her to be like this. She wasn’t angry at all because of her picky attitude, so much so that her criticism was like hitting a cotton mountain, with no response whatsoever. 。
Not only did it receive no response, but the person also gently bounced it back. 。”Auntie, if you want to change to better furniture, I fully support it. I believe in your taste and Yu’an will definitely love it too.” 。”Shu Tinglan wasn’t trying to provoke anyone, this was the honest truth, and she said it with sincerity.” 。The layout and basic interior design of this house were done by a renowned designer. Although the furniture she originally bought was quite beautiful, it lacked taste and quality. Anyone with even a little knowledge could see that it was out of place. 。From the look of disgust on Lu Kuo’s face every time he came to my house to see the furniture, you could tell <<< 。She had originally planned to save up some money and gradually furnish and renovate the place later. But since her mother wanted to change it, she might as well go for it. After all, as a mother, she wants to do her best for her son's home, and she should be happy about that. 。Her sincerity, in Cheng Zhimin's eyes, was the reckless provocation of naiveté. 。Even Lian Luyao was impressed, thinking to herself, "Sure enough, my brother Zhuo's girlfriend is extraordinary. Dealing with someone like Teacher Cheng requires a subtle and sharp approach." 。Cheng Zhimin let out a cold snort, treating her as if she were air. 。。Upon visiting the kitchen, she opened the refrigerator with a dramatic flourish and peered inside. 。"Shu Lawyer, what are you good at cooking?"Cheng Zhimin had been a pampered little princess since she was young. After marrying into the Zhuo family, with maids taking care of everything, she never even touched any housework. She wouldn't cook herself, but that didn't stop her from being picky about what others made. 。
This put Shu Tinglan in a bit of a bind, as she was honestly not good at cooking. 。Before going to college, I lived with my mom and had a comfortable life where everything was provided for me. After going to college, I started eating at the cafeteria. After graduating from university, I began ordering takeout. 。If you want to talk about my specialty dish, would instant noodles count?
“Go eat out.” 。“Zuo Yu’an’s cooking skills are only shown to Shu Tinglan. He refuses to show them to his mother or friends.” 。
“Lawyer Shu doesn’t cook?” Cheng Zhimin asked. 。Shuting lowered her head in shame. 。”If she were to study seriously, she should be able to do it too, right?
“What do Lawyer Shu’s parents do for a living? Don’t they even teach her basic life skills? Ordinary people can’t afford to pamper their children like this. ” 。”Cheng Zhimin, perhaps he has been too detached from the masses for too long, or maybe he has never truly integrated into the lives of ordinary people.” 。In her understanding, common people were all poor. Wasn’t it normal for children from poor families to become independent at an early age? To be unable to even take care of basic necessities was a sign of parental neglect. 。How could she have known that the world had undergone such drastic changes? Even children from poor families were pampered these days, let alone Shū Tínglàn who hadn’t come from a humble background. 。At this point, Cheng Zhimin had already sent people to thoroughly investigate Shu Tinglan’s family background, but they hadn’t provided detailed information yet. 。Deep down, I just don’t care. Talking about love isn’t something that would cause her to make such a big fuss. 。
Shu Tinglan felt very uncomfortable hearing her speak so dismissively about her parents. Her implication was that she lacked discipline and as a child, it was unacceptable to speak ill of one’s parents, even if they were flawed. Even if her father was unbearable, it was only something she and her mother could discuss, not for outsiders to comment on. 。”Mom, we are all pretty tired today. Let’s have dinner another day. I’ll send you home.” 。Zhu Yu’an frowned and chased away the guest, with no room for negotiation. He walked to the door first and waited for his mother and Lu Yaoyao. 。Cheng Zhimin saw this, his face became even more gloomy, with a look of anger on his face. Without saying a word, he grabbed Lu YaoYao and stormed out the door. 。Lu YaoYao was stuck in the middle, with two big mountains on either side, both of whom were difficult to get along with, making her feel suffocated. 。The poor thing didn’t dare to say anything, didn’t dare to do anything, just wanted to go back to the set to film. 。Both the mother and son had strong tempers. From the moment Cheng Zhimin saw them in the parking garage, she felt irritated. Seeing photos was one thing, but seeing them in person, with the son showering Shu Tinglan with care, made her anger boil even more. 。Zhuo YUAN sent her back to the Zhuo family, Lu Yaoyao took the opportunity to drive away in her own car, it was too scary. 。Zhuo Yu’an knew that his mother’s attitude today was already restrained. If she knew about Tinglan’s family background, she would probably turn the world upside down. 。Because the person her mother sent to investigate was intercepted by him before she could get detailed information. 。He knew this was like whistling past a graveyard, but he could pretend for one more day. He didn’t want Tinglan to get hurt even a little bit. 。
He tried to control his temper while in the car and communicate with his mother. 。
