Chapter 63 The time has come
Although Zhao Shucheng would choose to meet Xu Ruoyun in some high-end places, and sometimes even meet in the underground parking garage, he would be careful not to appear near his own home and Xiaoliu.
But as the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you won’t be able to wear your shoes. Even if Zhao Shucheng and Xu Ruoyun pay attention, neither of them is invisible. So on a chance one day, the scene of Zhao Shucheng and Xu Ruoyun having dinner together was still seen by the Cao family.
In Zhao Shucheng's opinion, the two of them just had a simple meal and chatting, and stood upright, but others didn't think so.
Especially when Li Wenqin knew that Zhao Shucheng was dating other girls and was not with Wu Xiaoliu, she even felt that her son was hiding something from her.
For this reason, she also called Wu Xiaoliu and asked indirectly what was going on between the two.
When he heard Xiaoliu say that they had agreed to get married in half a year, Li Wenqin was so angry that she was so angry that her son was about to get married, but she was still talking and laughing with other women. She was unclear. Isn’t this a boat on two boats?
Li Wenqin didn't want Wu Xiaoliu to know, so she called Zhao Shucheng directly, called him home, and asked him what he was thinking.
Zhao Shucheng didn't think anything was wrong at first, and he thought his two aunts were leaving, but when he got home, he saw Li Wenqin, Cao Hanzhi and the others, and his face was serious, but he didn't look like he was going to send his aunt and the others away.
"Mom, why did you call me back?"
"Xiaoqiang, I'll ask you, have you broken up with Xiaoliu?"
Zhao Shucheng was surprised when he heard Li Wenqin's question, and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Xiaoliu and I are doing well now."
"Since you are still in love, mom asks you, who did you have dinner with at noon yesterday?"
Zhao Shucheng was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong with me?"
"Friends, what kind of friends are women, are they? You guys still talk and laugh."
"No, how did you know?"
Li Wenqin slapped the coffee table and said, "Cao Xiaoqiang, please be serious and don't give me a smile. This is a very serious question. I heard from Xiaoliu that you are all planning to get married, but what are your behavior now? Standing on two boats?"
"No, mom, Xu Ruoyun and I are really friends, that's all."
Li Wenqin said, "You go and lie. If you are ordinary friends, you can talk and laugh like this, and you can watch dramas together, don't think we don't understand anything. I've discovered that everyone in your Cao family is like this, eating in the bowl and watching the pot."
Cao Hanzhi was affected by the fish on the side and quickly expressed his loyalty and said, "Wenqin, I am not like this. I like you from beginning to end."
"It sounds better than singing, so when you get along, do you like me?"
"Of course, oh, what a hookup, I've always liked you. I have nothing to do with other women. At most it's a little artistic exchange, or in the words of young people today, it's fans' admiration for me."
Zhao Shucheng laughed when he heard this and said, "Dad, you are fashionable enough."
"What are you happy about laughing at? What are you happy about? Although your father is unreliable and divorced me, he did one thing, that is, he does not have excessive ambiguous relationships with other women. Even though it looks a bit ambiguous, he always pays attention to the standards and never goes on a date alone."
Li Wenqin glared at Cao Hanzhi when she said this, feeling that the reason why Zhao Shucheng had Wu Xiaoliu at home and was still provoking other women outside was that her husband was not doing well enough. But now he was educating his son, so he naturally could not expose Cao Hanzhi. Instead, he had to protect him so that Zhao Shucheng could not follow suit and even refute himself.
"Xiaoqiang, you also said that you and Xiaoliu are talking about marriage, so now we should pay attention to the distance between us and other women. This time we saw it, so this is naturally not a big deal, but what if Xiaoliu saw it, what should you do then?"
"Also, if you really like Xu Ruoyun, and you think Xiaoliu is not suitable for you, you should make a decision earlier, either choose to break up with Xiaoliu or break up with Xu Ruoyun, otherwise it will be bad for anyone to continue to get entangled like this."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Mom, I know what you said. Actually, Xu Ruoyun and I are ordinary friends, and Xiaoliu and I are also very good, so we won't be separated."
When Li Wenqin heard Zhao Shucheng say this, she didn't feel happy, but instead felt that Zhao Shucheng was just perfunctory. After all, if she really chose Xiaoliu, she should agree to completely break up with Xu Ruoyun.
However, she also knew that forcing Zhao Shucheng to break up may not have any good results, but may force Zhao Shucheng to finally choose Xu Ruoyun. So in order to let Zhao Shucheng get married as soon as possible and avoid any romantic incidents in the future, she decided to take action herself to meet Xu Ruoyun, make the words clear, and let her leave her son.
Of course, she didn't have Xu Ruoyun's contact information now, so she specially called Li Wenda home. While Zhao Shucheng was going to the bathroom, she unlocked Zhao Shucheng's mobile phone and found Xu Ruoyun's phone number.
After Zhao Shucheng came out of the toilet, he looked at a few unnatural people and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
Li Wenqin said: "It's nothing, I'm watching TV, watching TV."
"Yes, we are watching TV." Cao Hanzhi also echoed. However, he turned his head and saw that the TV was not turned on at all. He quickly asked for a supplement and said, "Why is the TV turned off? Is it a power outage?"
Zhao Shucheng looked at the phone he had placed on the table before and seemed to have changed the place and said, "You are not looking at my phone, right? Can you respect my privacy?"
"Who has looked at your phone, we haven't."

"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. I will carry my phone with me in the future." Zhao Shucheng said, looking at the phone and said, "Okay, I'll go back to Xiaoliu and I'll be away from home."
"Okay, you'll be slower on the way."
After Zhao Shucheng left, Cao Hanzhi quickly sat next to Li Wenqin and said, "Wenqin, what are you going to do?"
"What should I do?"
"It's our son's business. You have also got the girl's phone number. What are you going to do?"
"Of course I asked her to come out to meet her and make it clear, so that she would not bother Xiaoqiang anymore. Xiaoqiang is about to get married, so I can't be confused with her."
Cao Hanzhi hesitated and said, "Is this bad? Xiaoqiang didn't say it, it was just an ordinary friend. If Xiaoqiang knew about it, he would be unhappy."
"It doesn't matter whether he is happy or not. What's important is that he can't do things that are sorry to others. Although Xiaoliu is young and a little willful, he is so good to us Xiaoqiang and us. He can't let Xiaoqiang be sorry to others. Besides, if he is really an ordinary friend, what's the matter with us when we meet?"
Although Li Wenqin, like many mothers, thinks that her children are the best children and no matter what kind of girl she is worthy of her son, she still hopes that Zhao Shucheng will get married and have children early instead of being entangled with others.
Xu Ruoyun suddenly received a call from a strange number. He was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that the other party was Zhao Shucheng's mother and asked her to meet her alone, he hesitated for a moment and agreed.
The meeting place that Li Wenqin and Xu Ruoyun agreed to be in a cafe. Cao Hanzhi was a little worried, so he went with him. But he didn't sit together, but waited on the side. If the situation was wrong, he could come forward to stop him in time.
Xu Ruoyun came to the agreed coffee shop and saw Li Wenqin at a glance. After all, most of the cafes are young people, and only Li Wenqin is the most suitable candidate for meeting.
"Auntie, hello, I am Xu Ruoyun, you are Cao Xiaoqiang's mother, right?"
Li Wenqin looked at Xu Ruoyun who walked in front of her and suddenly felt a little favor, but when she thought about it, her face still said coldly: "Come on, sit down."
Xu Ruoyun didn't care about Li Wenqin's cold attitude, but instead said with a smile: "Auntie, is that an uncle? Call him over and sit together."
After hearing this, Cao Hanzhi looked at Li Wenqin and finally sat over.
"Uncle, I heard from Xiaoqiang that your waist is not very good, so I bought you a massage chair. I heard it is very useful."
When Cao Hanzhi heard Xu Ruoyun say this, he immediately smiled and said, "Look at you being so polite. We just meet you and buy things for you. How embarrassed is this."
"It should."
"Okay, I'll accept it." Cao Hanzhi said and took it, but when he sat down, Li Wenqin pinched it and suddenly grinned.
Seeing Cao Hanzhi like this, Xu Ruoyun smiled and said, "Auntie, I have bought you a small bracelet, and I don't know if you like it or not, please take a look."
"I'm so embarrassed, what else can I buy?"
However, as the saying goes, if you don’t hit someone with a smile or say a gift-giver, Xu Ruoyun smiled and even gave a gift, which made Li Wenqin and Cao Hanzhi unable to show their cold faces anymore.
Li Wenqin knew the reason why she made an appointment with Xu Ruoyun, so she spoke, "I heard from Xiaoqiang that you are almost thirty, right?"
"Yes, auntie."
"Then you have never been married, have you not found a suitable one, or..."
"Auntie, I haven't gotten married before, I just haven't met the right person."
Li Wenqin looked at Xu Ruoyun and said, "Girl, I don't hide it from you. Our Xiaoqiang already has a girlfriend, and it has reached the point of discussing marriage."
"Auntie, these Xiaoqiang have told me that I actually thought I would never find someone to start a family in my life. But until I met Cao Xiaoqiang, although we did not share the same hardships, we were really in love with each other and had many common topics. His appearance made me know that there were such a good man in this world, which filled my heart."
"Actually, I haven't been in love before. After being with him for a long time, I realized that he cheated. Originally, I felt that I no longer believed in love and was destined to die alone, but Cao Xiaoqiang let me know that the world is not like what I imagined, and I have new possibilities and new choices."
Li Wenqin hesitated for a moment and said, "Girl, I just say it right away. My son is very difficult and the pressure is very high. Not only is the pressure of mortgage loans, but our family has a large population, and the whole family has to rely on him. I am not a person of special power, but I hope that someone in our Xiaoqiang can share some of the life with her in the future. Although Xiaoliu is young, this girl is very sensible, and we are all very satisfied. So you can see if you can continue to be with Xiaoqiang so that he can marry Xiaoliu early?"
Of course, Li Wenqin did not say that she was playing the scene of using money to kill people and leaving her son. Moreover, the situation in the Cao family could not afford so much money.
"Auntie, is this what Cao Xiaoqiang means?"
"This is not what my son means, it is what we old couple mean. Girl, you are still young and have a better choice. My son is not as good as you see. In fact, his monthly salary is only more than 10,000 yuan, and his mortgage is more than 6,000 yuan. There is no way to give you a better life."
After hearing this, Xu Ruoyun smiled and said, "Auntie, I don't care how much money Cao Xiaoqiang can earn. After all, if we are together, we are the two of us working together, and I will help him share the burden."
Li Wenqin was stunned when she heard this, and hesitated for a while before asking: "Girl, I want to ask, what kind of work do you do?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I work in a foreign company."
"Foreign companies, this foreign devil is not easy to serve. Where is your hometown?"
“In Nantong, Jiangsu.”
"I saw that you were from the south, so how good your skin looked. In fact, we are also fellow villagers. Our family is from Jinling, and we are all from our JS province." Li Wenqin felt a little kinder after hearing this. After all, it was not easy to meet half of the fellow villagers.
Xu Ruoyun didn't expect that Li Wenqin's attitude improved a lot when she just said where her hometown was.
"Are you okay at home?"
"My mother passed away very early, and my dad and I depend on each other for a living."
Li Wenqin suddenly felt that it seemed a bit inappropriate for her to target Xu Ruoyun like this. It was really difficult for them to depend on each other.
In the following time, Li Wenqin did not make Xu Ruoyun excessively necessary to leave Zhao Shucheng, but instead started to talk about it. The generous Xu Ruoyun made Li Wenqin and Cao Hanzhi feel that if this was his daughter-in-law, it would be good.
But when Zhao Shucheng and Wu Xiaoliu were about to get married, they quickly left this idea behind.
Just as Li Wenqin was still thinking about how to speak to Xu Ruoyun and let her stay away from Zhao Shucheng on her own initiative, Li Wenda brought Zhao Shucheng's aunts to the cafe, and the scene suddenly became lively.
Seeing this, Xu Ruoyun knew that it was Zhao Shucheng's elder, calmly took out a few red envelopes from his bag, which was regarded as a gift to his elders.
Li Wenqin and Cao Hanyi were still refusing at first, but they couldn't resist the two aunts' personalities who liked to take advantage of the situation. They just stuffed them into their bag without waiting for what they said.
Now Li Wenqin and Cao Hanzhi have to say something about letting Xu Ruoyun and Zhao Shucheng separate. After all, they are short-speaking and short-selling. You can't just accept Xu Ruoyun's gift and turn your head and let her separate from her son. This food look is too ugly.
After Xu Ruoyun left, Li Wenqin and Cao Hanzhi then looked at the red envelopes Xu Ruoyun gave to several elders, all of which were 10,000 yuan each.
When the two aunts got the red envelope and saw the amount inside, they were extremely satisfied with Xu Ruoyun and said, "Sister, I think this girl is good, much better than the girlfriend I have never met before. You said we have been here for so long, and I don't know how to meet us, and there is not even a gift. Unlike this girl, who comes up and gives such a big gift, and will definitely be better for our Xiaoqiang in the future."
"Why are you here? Who asked you to come?" Li Wenqin asked with a frown.
"Sister, judging by what you said, we are kind-hearted, and we want to come and help Xiaoqiang check together. Now it seems that we are really right. Just because the girl is willing to take out the money, you know that she must be sincere to us Xiaoqiang. Sister, turn around and tell Xiaoqiang, hurry up and share with that little six and five."
"This is our own business, so don't get involved."
Li Wenqin also had a headache after saying that. She originally wanted to let Xu Ruoyun leave her son, but now she has given gifts to the Cao family and the Li family. If she cannot return it, it seems that it is hard to let them separate. Moreover, this was originally a matter of their Cao family, but these people have caused trouble and completely disrupted the originally planned things.
Thinking of this, she looked at Cao Hanzhi who was about to disassemble the massager and said, "Cao Hanzhi, what do you want to do?"
"I'm going to see if this massager is easy to use."
"You can't use it or not. This time, let's see how much money is and ask Xiaoqiang to return it to Xiao Xu. We can't stand a firm position. Xiao Liu has nothing to say to us. We have to be conscientious."
Cao Hanzhi looked at the massager with some regrets and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the mall to ask how much it costs and ask Xiaoqiang to return it to Xiao Xu. By the way, do you have to pay back this bracelet too?"
Li Wenqin nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know how much this bracelet is worth. If it's less, it's okay. If it's expensive, we can only use our last savings."
Cao Hanzhi said: 'Actually, I have to say that this girl has good conditions and is actually quite suitable for her son. Otherwise, let us not get involved and let the young people make their own decisions?'
Li Wenqin shook her head and said, "Xiao Xu's conditions are indeed good, and she gave Wenda and the others a little. The conditions are a little better. Why did she like our Xiaoqiang? Although Xiaoqiang is not bad, I don't think our son is so popular, so that the girl wants to be with him at all costs."
"What's wrong with our Xiaoqiang, what's wrong with you? You're a talented person."
"Can you not deceive yourself? I know how much your son has. You didn't listen to us chatting just now. This girl went abroad to study before. How can she study abroad have poor family conditions? What's more, this girl has to look good and have such a good job, and she has not yet gotten married at the age of 30?"
"Maybe this is called fate, just waiting for our Xiaoqiang." Cao Hanzhi said with a smile.
"Go to you, it's still fate. If you really have fate, it's also fate between us Xiaoqiang and Xiaoliu. Don't forget that this was introduced by your old comrade. It's all about marriage and suddenly break up. Will you still have the face to meet someone at that time?"
When Cao Hanzhi heard his wife say this, he couldn't help but sigh. When his son was not married before, they had to worry. Now they finally got married, and they still had to worry about it.
Li Wenqin came to the mall with a bracelet. After asking, she found out that the bracelet given by Xu Ruoyun was a large-name limited edition price of more than 80,000 yuan, and she would not be refunded without an invoice.
This made Li Wenqin even more uneasy. After all, after receiving such a valuable gift from Xu Ruoyun, his son and Xu Ruoyun were just ordinary friends.
Zhao Shucheng actually didn't know about Xu Ruoyun meeting his parents at first, but he went to Li Wenda's repair shop one day. Li Wenda accidentally let it go, and only then did he realize that such a thing happened.
When Zhao Shucheng called Xu Ruoyun to make an appointment to meet and talk about this matter, Zhao Shucheng said: "Miss Xu, I'm sorry, I didn't know about my parents asking you for anything."
"It's okay, actually, I don't think my uncles and aunts are malicious, they just care about you."
"But they didn't ask me, so they came to you with a rash look. It was somewhat inappropriate. By the way, I also heard that you have prepared gifts for them. This is not appropriate. I will give you the money another day."
"No, this is a gift to the elders, how can I ask you for money?"
Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but sigh and said, "Ms. Xu, since things have reached this point, I have something to say to you. Although I have a good impression of you, I already have a girlfriend. You also know that we are about to get married, so..."
"So you just want to draw a line with me, can't even friends do it?"
"Of course not, it's just that bad for you, and others will gossip."
"I don't care, let alone we're just friends, aren't we?"
Looking at Xu Ruoyun looking at her eyes, Zhao Shucheng couldn't say anything to refuse for a moment. After all, Zhao Shucheng could see the shadow of his former woman from Xu Ruoyun, and he was really reluctant to hurt her.
"Oh, okay, we're still good friends."
When Xu Ruoyun heard Zhao Shucheng say this, she immediately laughed. In fact, from the look of Zhao Shucheng looking at her and the words she was reluctant to say that she was separated from her just now, she knew clearly that Zhao Shucheng actually had herself in her heart. However, because she already had a girlfriend and was preparing to get married, she didn't want to have too much contact with her.
Although she didn't want to be a mistress or interfere in other people's marriages, Zhao Shucheng did give her a different feeling and was reluctant to part with Zhao Shucheng.
