The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness Chapter 113 Mother-in-law's Acknowledgment

113 Mother-in-law’s Acknowledgment

After school, Lu Xiang was already waiting at the cla.s.sroom door. The first student to come out looked at the beautiful woman standing in the corridor in surprise, but he was quickly pulled away by someone who recognized Lu Xiang.

“Hey, why are you pulling me? Who was that woman just now?”

The cla.s.smate who did not know the truth was still a little angry when he was suddenly pulled away. He tidied his messy sleeves and glared at his friend beside him unhappily.

“You don’t even know her! She’s Yi Zheng’s mother!”

As soon as she said this, the whispers around Lu Xiang weakened. The corridor was silent until s.h.i.+ Man came out. Everyone’s gaze was on her again.

“Auntie Lu?” s.h.i.+ Man frowned at Lu Xiang, not knowing why she was suddenly here.

“Aiya, Manman, Auntie was waiting for you!” Lu Xiang smiled and held s.h.i.+ Man’s hand, about to lead her out.

Su Tang timidly followed behind.

“Auntie Lu, why are you looking for me?” s.h.i.+ Man went straight to the point.

If not for the fact that the other party was her mother’s good friend, she would not have been pulled away so easily.

“Auntie doesn’t mean anything else. I just want to bring you to lunch. Don’t feel burdened.” Lu Xiang knew that her son’s att.i.tude towards s.h.i.+ Man was cold in the past. If she suddenly mentioned getting the two of them engaged again, she would definitely be ostracized.

This matter could not be rushed. She could only take it one step at a time.

s.h.i.+ Man nodded and agreed. Then, she turned around and looked at Su Tang with a smile. “Then go to the canteen to eat alone first. Tell my brother what you want to eat and ask him to order for you.”

“No need. It’s not like I’ve never eaten alone in the canteen.” Su Tang smiled and shook her head. She nodded at Lu Xiang before turning to leave.

It was only then that Lu Xiang noticed Su Tang’s existence. Now that her heart was filled with her future daughter-in-law, the other girls could not catch her eye at all.

She drove s.h.i.+ Man to a nearby hotel for a meal. After entering the private room, the waiter naturally placed the menu in front of her.

Lu Xiang generously handed the menu to s.h.i.+ Man. “What do you like to eat? Order whatever you want. Auntie will pay.”

“Sure.” s.h.i.+ Man did not stand on ceremony with her. After ordering a few dishes according to her preferences, she handed the menu to the waiter.

Lu Xiang felt that this matter was almost certain. She immediately held s.h.i.+ Man’s hand excitedly and said, “Good child, in the past, my son was insensible and actually caused you trouble. From now on, he will definitely not do it again.”

s.h.i.+ Man nodded politely.

Indeed, it would not happen again. Now that the two of them were no longer engaged, they would be strangers in the future. How could he come and cause trouble for her?

Lu Xiang had another meaning. She thought that s.h.i.+ Man understood and immediately beamed. “Then are you willing to give Yi Zheng another chance?”

“Huh?” When had she ever said that?

s.h.i.+ Man looked at Lu Xiang in confusion and explained patiently, “No, I don’t like him.”

“Ah, I see.” Lu Xiang knew that she had misunderstood what she meant. She immediately coughed awkwardly. Fortunately, she had also gone through similar experiences. She quickly regained her composure and smiled. “It’s okay. I didn’t come to look for you to talk about Yi Zheng. I just wanted to see if you were doing well in school. If you need anything, tell me at any time.”

“There’s nothing needed. I’m fine in school.” s.h.i.+ Man took a sip of red wine, her tone abnormally cold.

Lu Xiang still changed the topic enthusiastically. “Your results are ranked third at your age. You’re really too outstanding. Auntie brought a small gift as a reward. I hope you like it.”

She took out a set of jewelry from her bag, including a necklace, bracelet, earrings, and a few other things. It was a dazzling array and looked very tempting.

However, s.h.i.+ Man was not interested in these things. Since the other party and her mother were as close as sisters, she could not keep treating her coldly. She accepted the gift and said politely, “Thank you, Auntie. I’ll get someone to send you a gift next time.”

Anyway, she was not short of money now. She would just double what she had accepted and return it. She would not owe anyone a favor.

Lu Xiang did not know what she was thinking. She thought that she had already closed the distance between her and s.h.i.+ Man and happily found a topic to chat about with her.

The two of them chatted and laughed for the entire afternoon before Lu Xiang reluctantly sent her back to school and agreed to visit her next time.

Lu Xiang was 100% satisfied with s.h.i.+ Man now. She wished she could let her son marry her immediately before she could feel at ease.

During the meal, she kept mentioning Yi Zheng’s concern for s.h.i.+ Man. She believed that s.h.i.+ Man understood, but the latter did not show any change in expression in front of her, making her unable to figure out what s.h.i.+ Man was thinking.

However, this meal was still fruitful. At least she should have left a good impression on her future daughter-in-law.

When s.h.i.+ Man returned to the school, a sneaky white figure not far from the school gate quietly followed her.
