Chapter 222: Mother-Daughter Conversation

To be honest, making the news isn't exactly something mind-boggling.

Especially when it's just a square dance.

What truly surprised the neighbors was that Shen Yan seemed to have quite a lot of influence at school, standing in the center position with hundreds of people following his movements behind him.

The key was that the principal was one of them.

If you get on good terms with the principal, how could your future be anything but bright?

And so, the neighbors' mouths were like machine guns, praising Shen Yan for being capable, insisting he would surely have a great future, and that Shen Nainai would have blessings to enjoy from now on.

Hearing these words, Shen Nainai's face glowed red, her smile overflowing, and tiny wrinkles squeezed out at the corners of her eyes, as if they were stories carved by time.

Being older and having experienced all the ups and downs of life, there weren't many things that could truly make her happy, and hearing others lavish praise on her dear grandson was one of them.

It was enough to keep her happy for a long time.

At this moment, Li Shen said again, "Auntie, there's a girl standing next to Xiao Yan on the TV, she looks so pretty, could she be his girlfriend?"

Shen Nainai really hadn't noticed that.

The video wasn't very long, and her focus had been entirely on her dear grandson.

She had the mind to call and ask.

But thinking about it, she decided against it; it wouldn't be too late to ask when her dear grandson returned.

Regarding the current Shen Yan, Shen Nainai was one hundred and twenty percent at ease; relying on his own efforts, he had opened a garment factory in Hangzhou, and his business was flourishing.

He could earn over a hundred "w" a month.

Shen Nainai felt so proud; the Shen Family wasn't exactly flourishing with descendants, with only about ten people in the children and grandchildren generation, and the most promising among them was Shen Yan, whom she had raised single-handedly.

It was finally enough to do justice to the spirit of her second son in heaven.

Before long, Sun Bixia, who had gone downstairs to take out the trash, also learned of this news and specifically went online to search for the relevant video.

Ha!

Who else could it be standing behind Shen Yan but her own daughter?

On the other side was Wu Yue'er, who had once been a guest at their home, so Sun Bixia naturally recognized her.

Then who could that other girl with the bewitching and alluring appearance be?

With her suspicions, Sun Bixia could no longer suppress the doubt in her heart.

She dialed her daughter's phone number directly.

"Hello! Mom!"

"Youwei, how have you been lately?"

"I'm doing great!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Sun Bixia went straight to the point: "Mom just saw the video of you and Xiao Yan dancing in the square on the news, you danced really well!"

"Really? It even made it onto the news program?"

"Of course it's true. Mom is asking you, how are things between you and Xiao Yan now?"

"Just like that. Everyone is busy studying, who has the heart to talk about other things?"

"Tell Mom the truth, did Xiao Yan get a girlfriend? The one standing next to him dancing?"

"What are you talking about? That's just a stranger."

Having been soaked in the melting pot of university for so long, and with a liar like Shen Yan by her side, through constant influence, Yu Youwei had also learned a few of the essences of lying.

Subconsciously, Yu Youwei did not want her mother to know that Shen Yan was dating.

Otherwise, with her mother's personality, she would definitely interfere and block her and Shen Yan from associating with each other.

This was something Yu Youwei did not want to see.

Sun Bixia did not notice anything unusual, let out a soft sigh on the phone, and advised: "Youwei, Mom told you before, if you really like Xiao Yan, be more proactive; don't wait until you've lost him to regret it."

"It's been several months, and you're still hesitating there. Sigh! Mom doesn't even know what to say about you."

Yu Youwei acted spoiled on the other end and said: "Oh! Mom, I know. I'm not in a hurry for this kind of thing. There are plenty of good boys out there; maybe I'll meet someone better one day."

Sun Bixia couldn't persuade this daughter.

The child was grown up and had her own ideas.

Besides, the rough words were not without reason; it's hard to find a three-legged toad, but two-legged men are everywhere. Her own daughter was as beautiful as a flower and so outstanding, what kind of man couldn't she find?

The reason she favored Shen Yan was simply because both sides knew each other well, they lived across the hall, and Shen Yan had no parents to support.

Once the matter was settled, she and Yu Chengdong would effectively gain an extra son for nothing, and they would have someone to rely on in their old age.

However, it could be seen from these words that her daughter didn't like Shen Yan all that much.

Since her daughter wanted to prioritize her studies for now, then let it be.

Hanging up the phone, Yu Youwei, standing at the entrance of the library, let out a deep breath and looked toward the direction of the Danqingyuan Residential Complex.

A flash of determination crossed her eyes.

Thinking about it carefully, things actually weren't bad as they were now; she was in a stage of constant learning and vigorous growth, and she was destined not to have much time for romance.

She had heard that teenage boys had high libidos, and holding it in all the time wasn't a solution, so she would let Shen Yan vent outside. Sooner or later, she would become so outstanding that people would look up to her in awe.

And trample Hao Anqi fiercely under her feet.

By then, Shen Yan would discover who the person most compatible with him really was.

Love begged for in humility was not what she wanted.

Having figured this out, Yu Youwei suddenly felt enlightened, took a step, and walked into the library with unwavering determination.

On the other side, at the Chen family's home in Tomson Riviera, Shanghai.

Looking at the scene on the TV, Chen Jun and his wife were dumbfounded.

"Lao Chen, that person dancing in the square behind Shen Yan, that's our daughter, right?" Wei Wenli's voice carried a hint of uncertainty.

Chen Jun leaned against the sofa, his hands clasped together over his lower abdomen, his thumbs rubbing back and forth incessantly.

Without a doubt, his daughter was having a very happy time at school.

Regarding this, Chen Jun only felt a wave of powerlessness wash over him.

Since she was small, he had cultivated various hobbies for his daughter: ballet, piano, painting...

Unfortunately, Chen Shanni had mediocre talent and often only learned things halfway, stuck in the middle. Thinking about it now, it had nothing to do with talent; his daughter was simply determined to go against him.

You want me to learn it, so I specifically won't.

Now, it's even better; his daughter has mastered square dancing clearly and thoroughly.

Sometimes Chen Jun really felt he was quite a failure as a person, unable to even see through the thoughts of a little girl.

Perhaps this is what they call "concern leads to confusion."

Then Wei Wenli started muttering about going down to the square downstairs to dance so she could have some common topics with their daughter, and Chen Jun's eyes immediately lit up.

This idea was not bad; it was worth adopting!

"Let's go! It's just the right time to go digest our food after eating."

"You're going too?" Wei Wenli had an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

An unnatural look appeared on Chen Jun's face as he said, "I haven't stretched my muscles and bones in too long; I'm going to go exercise a bit."

Wei Wenli saw through it but didn't expose him, only a hint of a smile quietly hanging on the corners of her mouth.

Danqingyuan Residential Complex, Shen Family.

With nothing to do, Shen Yan was playing a game with Wu Yue'er, stirring up a storm of blood in Summoner.

Although they didn't have much time to play games, their rank points were still skyrocketing, reaching 1950 points.

This was equivalent to the Diamond tier in later generations.

In this match, Shen Yan was playing as a Chemist, moving freely across the field, tossing this one over his shoulder and then that one, using his W to root them, and spreading poison while running.

Plus, he was so tanky that no one could even put a dent in him.

"Triple kill!"

Another match won.

"Yay!" Wu Yue'er's crisp cheers came through the voice chat.

Shen Yan could even imagine the scene: Wu Yue'er, barefoot, jumping around excitedly in her room.

As if thinking of something, Wu Yue'er's voice became sullen again: "Hubby, where are you planning to go have fun with that little vixen again for New Year's Day?"

Shen Yan shrugged helplessly and said, "No fun to be had; the little vixen's cousin is getting married, so she has to rush home to attend the wedding."
