Chapter 1462: Please Enter the Urn 1
She turned and walked away.
Seeing that she was truly agitated, Shi Youxuan pulled her back: "Alright, alright, I was wrong. I apologize to you. You, as a mature person, shouldn't hold a grudge against a small person like me. Can you forgive me this time?"
Jian Yixin kept a straight face and feigned an attempt to pull away, but in reality, more than half of the anger in her heart had already dissipated.
As for the events of that year, Shi Youxuan had actually let them go long ago; it was Jian Yixin herself who could never let them go. She had felt indebted for most of her life, otherwise, she wouldn't be so sensitive.
"Don't mention it again in the future."
"Mm, I won't mention it."
"Are you going to help me?"
"Okay, I will help you!"
Only then did Jian Yixin return and sit back down on the sofa, telling Shi Youxuan to hurry up and pack so they could leave, and to bring Yueyue along as well.
She had already booked a hotel near Jiang University. Once they arrived, she would first settle Shi Youxuan, her daughter, and the nanny into the hotel, making it convenient to stay in touch if anything came up. It could be said that she had arranged everything very thoughtfully.
Shi Youxuan agreed to go with her, but she didn't want to show her face. She wanted Jian Yixin to talk to her son alone, and they had to discuss the content and tone of the conversation beforehand so there wouldn't be a single slip-up!
……
Apartment.
Moli had not returned to school; he had already taken two days of leave.
He had requested sick leave, but he wasn't actually sick. Instead, he was living and eating with Cui Xiaoqian in the apartment, sticking together from morning till night, inseparable like glue and lacquer.
The cell phone rang. Moli grabbed it and, seeing "Mom" displayed on the screen, couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Xiao Qian, my mom is calling. What should I do?"
"Answer it."
Moli didn't answer but handed the phone to her: "Why don't you answer it for me? I don't dare!"
"I answer it?" Cui Xiaoqian shrieked, nearly kicking Moli off the bed.
What a mama's boy.
If it weren't for the fact that Moli was foolish and wealthy, she would have turned against him long ago. He was scared like this just seeing a phone call; if he saw her in person, wouldn't he believe whatever his mother said?
"Yeah, you answer it. I don't dare talk to my mom."
"I don't dare either! How do you expect a girl like me to talk about this kind of thing..."
The phone rang over and over.
The two people in the room were still "deferring" to each other over who should answer the phone.
After coaxing and persuading, Cui Xiaoqian finally convinced Moli to answer the phone.
"Hello! Mom!" His voice trembled, sounding timid.
That morning, he had sent his mother a message saying he had his eye on an antique vase that cost three million, that he really liked it, and that he wanted to buy it.
But he ended up getting scolded severely by his mother.
She not only exposed his lie but also pointed out directly that it was Cui Xiaoqian's idea!
Terrified, Moli hung up the phone immediately and turned it off.
He had only just turned it back on that afternoon.
As soon as he turned it on, he received a call from his mother. Should he answer, or not?
In the end, he bit the bullet and answered. He had already promised Xiaoqian he would buy a house for her family, and buying a house required money. No matter what, he couldn't bypass his mother to get money!
"Mom, I'm sorry, I lied..." Moli apologized to his mother, then told the truth, explaining that he wanted money to buy a house for his girlfriend's family.
Cui Xiaoqian kept giving him hints and signals, meaning for him not to tell the truth, as it would be impossible to get the money if he did!
But the reaction of Moli's mother was not what Cui Xiaoqian had expected!
Moli's mother spoke very lightly on the phone, saying wouldn't it have been better to tell the truth earlier?
It wasn't as if their family lacked the financial strength; was it worth lying and cheating over a mere three million?
She also said she was the most reasonable person, that her son wanting to buy a house for his girlfriend's family meant he had grown up, was a real man, and had a sense of responsibility. She felt proud of her son...
Moli was beaming with joy upon hearing this, but Cui Xiaoqian sensed that something was vaguely wrong.
Finally, Jian Yixin got to the point: "Moli, I happen to have a project to inspect near your school. Let's meet up, and bring your girlfriend along."
Moli was a bit surprised, but even more pleased: "Really? Mom, when will you arrive?"
"I've booked a table at the Jiangzhou Hotel. You two come over now."
"Now?"
"Yes, is it inconvenient?"
"It's convenient, very convenient. We'll head over immediately."
Moli put down the phone and urged her while putting on his clothes: "Xiao Qian, hurry up and get dressed. Come with me to see my mom."
Unlike Moli's eager appearance, Cui Xiaoqian asked while slowly getting dressed: "Moli, do you think your mom is being sincere, or is she just pretending?"
Someone with a guilty conscience naturally assumes everyone else is a ghost.
Moli was very certain: "Of course my mom is sincere. I've told you before that my mom is the best to me. She has been since I was little. Whatever I want, even if it's in the heavens or on earth, my mom will get it for me, let alone this little bit of money. Didn't you hear what my mom just said?"
He had deep, unwavering faith in his mother. Even if Cui Xiaoqian had doubts in her heart, she had no time to think now. Moli kept urging her to hurry, saying his mother didn't like waiting too long, and that she needed to leave a good impression on her future mother-in-law during their first meeting.
……
Jiangzhou Hotel.
Guest room upstairs.
Jian Yixin put down the phone, her face immediately turning frosty. She said angrily to Shi Youxuan: "That bitch! That bitch is really with my son. My precious child, like a treasure, is being ruined by that bitch..."
In this regard, she was quite like her late mother: her own child was perfect in every way, while other people's children were just blades of grass!
But Cui Xiaoqian was indeed not a decent girl, and since Jian Yixin was very heartbroken, Shi Youxuan didn't retort but comforted her: "Yixin, calm down. Don't let your emotions show on your face. If they see your true thoughts, our plan will fall short of success."
"Don't worry, I will keep it under control."
When Jian Yixin walked out of the room, she already looked like nothing had happened.
The hotel lobby.
Moli and Cui Xiaoqian walked into the lobby hand in hand, and they saw Jian Yixin coming to greet them: "Hi! My dear little friends, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
After she finished speaking, she glared at her son reproachfully, then took Cui Xiaoqian's hand and looked her over: "Oh my, this child looks so... delicate and pretty!"
Cui Xiaoqian's appearance was average, her features were not outstanding, so it was hard to compliment her, and she could only praise her as delicate and pretty.
"Hello, Auntie."
Cui Xiaoqian lowered her eyes and looked submissive, greeting her politely.
While Jian Yixin was looking her over, she also took a secret glance at Jian Yixin; the two women each had their own thoughts, but on the surface, they were perfectly harmonious.
Jian Yixin thought: Pretend! I'll let you pretend all you want; I have investigated your background clearly, do you think you can fool me just because you fooled my son?
Cui Xiaoqian thought: Oh my goodness, how much must this outfit cost? If not hundreds of thousands, then at least tens of thousands; this family is truly rich, I must seize this opportunity well, if I can hold onto this big fish, I won't have to worry about wealth and glory in the future.
After Jian Yixin took Cui Xiaoqian's hand, she never let go, praising her incessantly: "This girl looks like someone from a decent family who knows how to live a proper life, unlike other girls who wear heavy makeup at such a young age; son, you have a really good eye..."
