Chapter 196

Grandmother once said that although Shang Xiaofei and he were a match in terms of social status, Shang Xiaofei was not suitable to be the mistress of the Zhan family.

"Let's go to a hotel to eat. You still have social engagements, no need to run all the way home."

"Whatever you say."

Hai Tong laughed.

Although there was nothing earth-shattering between her and Zhan Yin, he respected her more and more, prioritizing her wishes, and the young couple lived a life that was plain yet fulfilling and sweet.

Zhan Yin always said that if there were a next life, he would still want to be with her.

Now she had also become greedy, thinking that if there were a next life, she would marry Zhan Yin again and be husband and wife.

The Lu residence.

Mrs. Lu put down her phone, her expression very unsightly.

Opposite her, Mr. Lu, although holding a newspaper in his hands, had been keeping an eye on his old wife's expression. Remember the website.

He was also listening to the conversation between his old wife and their youngest son.

"What is it again? Your face looks so terrible. You've been like this lately, in a bad mood every day, angry, you're even looking old. Stop being angry. Tomorrow I'll accompany you to get a beauty treatment and take good care of yourself."

Mrs. Lu glared at her inactive husband and said crossly, "I already belong to the elderly, so let me be old. With such an disobedient son, it would be strange if I didn't get old from anger. You only know how to read the newspaper, and you don't even know how to lecture your son."

"Lu Dongming was spoiled into this state by you!"

Because her son would not listen to her, Mrs. Lu pushed all the blame onto her husband.

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it was me who spoiled him, everything bad was taught by me, and his merits were inherited from you. Dongming is my mother's most beloved grandson; it was clearly my mother who spoiled him, yet you blame it on me."

"They say that when a son grows up, he doesn't listen to his mother. Your son is already in his forties by rounding up, why are you still bothering with him? Besides, you want to manage him, but does he let you?"

"If he doesn't let you manage him, and you insist on doing so, isn't that just asking for trouble? It's not like you haven't been a mother-in-law before; you already have three daughters-in-law and a bunch of grandsons and granddaughters, what are you still anxious about?"

"If a cow won't drink water, can you press its head down to make it drink? Dongming just doesn't like Yinyin; it's useless for you to force him or urge him."

Mrs. Lu: "...... Yinyin has already made it clear to me. She will no longer pursue Dongming, saying that Dongming's heart is not on her and she doesn't want to waste time. This time when she came to Guancheng, she went straight to the airport after finishing her business and didn't even come to stay at our house."

"Such a good girl, your son is just blind. He doesn't like her, but actually likes a divorced woman with a child!"

Mrs. Lu was just angry.

Mainly because she couldn't vent her anger on Hai Ling.

It was equivalent to her wanting to tear someone apart, but there was no one for her to tear, so that anger was stifled in her heart, making her feel particularly uncomfortable.

"He doesn't like Yinyin, so I arranged a blind date for him, telling him to go meet the other party tonight and have a meal, but he won't listen either. Busy, busy, busy, busy with what? When he runs to Ren Ni Shi, why don't I see him being busy? Do you think I don't know?"

Mrs. Lu had not gone to cause trouble for Hai Ling, but she knew that her youngest son went to Hai Ling's breakfast shop every day.

Wherever Hai Ling was, her son would soon pop up there too.

It wasn't a coincidence; it was that disobedient Lu Dongming who had his eyes on Hai Ling and manufactured those coincidences.

"He already has someone he likes, what's the use of you arranging blind dates for him? Before he had someone he liked, you arranged blind dates for him, and he wouldn't listen to you either."

Mr. Lu persuaded his wife, "Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. Stop worrying about Dongming's affairs."

"You surnamed Lu, your son likes a divorced woman, and you're very happy?"

Mr. Lu: "...... I don't agree either, but what can I do? That is Dongming's decision, and that child has always refused to listen to our discipline."

"Tell me, if I go talk to Hai Ling, will Hai Ling tell Hai Tong?" Mrs. Lu suddenly asked.

"Why are you going to find Hai Ling? Didn't you say that Hai Ling doesn't like our son at all? The problem lies with your son."

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Lu said, "I know the problem doesn't lie with Hai Ling, but Dongming is impervious to reason and very stubborn, so I can only start with Hai Ling. I want to persuade Hai Ling to terminate her lease, move her breakfast shop to another place, and stay away from Dongming."

"In the future, whenever Dongming goes to the Zhan family, tell Hai Ling not to go there, so they don't run into each other."

"Of course, if Hai Ling is willing to leave Guancheng and live in a place Dongming doesn't know about, that would be even better. I am willing to give her a large sum of compensation, as long as she doesn't see Dongming."

Mrs. Lu had wanted to do these things for a long time.

However, Hai Ling had the Shang family and the Zhan family backing her.

She and Hai Tong were sisters with a deep bond; Hai Tong would not ignore her affairs.

Once Hai Tong got involved, the Zhan family would join in.

Who told Zhan Yin to be a wife-spoiling maniac?

Mrs. Lu still couldn't understand why the old lady of the Zhan family wanted Zhan Yin to marry Hai Tong.

It was said that Zhan Yichen and the eldest Miss Ning were also arranged by the old lady.

This old lady's eye for things, hmm, is truly unique.

Her own grandsons are all dragons and phoenixes among men, yet look at the conditions of the wives the old lady chose for them. People who don't know the situation would suspect that the old lady isn't the biological grandmother of Zhan Yin and the others.

In high society, whose family doesn't marry someone of equal social status?

"Do you want to destroy the relationship between our Lu family and the Zhan family?"

Mr. Lu glared at his wife.

Mrs. Lu said, "Then you teach me what to do? In any case, I'll say the ugly words first: unless I die, I will absolutely never agree to the marriage between Hai Ling and Dongming."

"Wait until your son succeeds in chasing his wife before you say such things."

Mrs. Lu: "...... It's better to force them to break it off now. While Hai Ling hasn't moved her heart or feelings and Dongming is the only one head over heels, as long as Hai Ling leaves Guancheng and the two never see each other, Dongming will definitely let go."

"Marrying a divorced woman is worse than him staying single."

Mr. Lu asked his wife, "Are you disgusted that Hai Ling is a divorced woman, or are you disgusted that her family background is ordinary?"

"Both. Her parents are both dead, and those relatives in her hometown are extremely terrible. We have all witnessed it. The Zhan family has a good temper and wasn't provoked by those terrible people, but I don't have such a good temper."

Mrs. Lu said with disdain.

"In our circle, there are so many daughters of noble families for Dongming to choose from, yet he refuses and just likes Hai Ling."

"Although he is rough, his heart isn't actually cruel. Loving the house and its crow, he might even help Hai Ling's terrible relatives in her hometown. Those people are vampires; once they latch onto you, you can't shake them off. Like Zhan Yin, he does it very well, leaving those terrible people with no chance to suck blood."

After talking to herself, Mrs. Lu suddenly picked up her phone, stood up, and said, "No, I can't sit by and watch them develop. I'm going to find Hai Ling to talk right now. Just talk, I won't bully others by relying on my status, and I certainly won't forcefully compel her to leave Guancheng."

She was just going to find Hai Ling to have a talk.

Mr. Lu hurriedly called out to his wife, saying to her, "What time do you think it is? You are still going to disturb her."

"What time? The sky hasn't even turned completely dark yet; this is the only time Hai Ling is free."

Mrs. Lu ignored her husband's obstruction and insisted on going to talk to Hai Ling.
