Chapter 1021: 243: Yangyang got angry_2
It would be normal for Wu Yanyun to have harbored some resentment, but after such a long time, it should have faded.
She had her own suffering, but Ni Cuihua had her own grievances too.
And besides, Wu Yanyun wasn’t young anymore.
Grandma Zheng patted Ni Cuihua on the hand, “Tingting, I’m going to say something you might not want to hear, but if you really can’t recognize her as your daughter, then let it be! A twisted melon is never sweet!”
Ni Cuihua’s eyes reddened, “But she is still my daughter…”
She was the one who had wronged Wu Yanyun.
No matter what, she still hoped that Wu Yanyun could forgive her.
As a mother herself, Grandma Zheng understood the pain in Ni Cuihua’s heart.
The next day was Sunday.
Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui, as usual, paid a visit to the children at the Orphanage.
Shangguan Xi went back with Zuo Ling to meet his parents.
Shangguan Xi didn’t bring anything expensive, just some apples and bananas, and then two pounds of meat and two pounds of brown sugar.
“Zuo Ling, do you think your uncle and auntie will like me?” Shangguan Xi was a bit nervous.
Zuo Ling smiled, “No way, I guarantee they’ll love you.”
Although Zuo Ling’s parents had a preference for Chen Laibao, Zuo Ling had made his intentions clear to them; even if they didn’t like Shangguan Xi, they’d have to feign their approval.
After saying this, Zuo Ling continued, “Xiaoxi, it’s Sunday today and the nanny has the day off. It’s just my dad and mom at home. There’s something I need to tell you in advance.”
“Go ahead.”
Zuo Ling explained, “My mom used to be a little leader at her workplace, so her temper can be a bit idiosyncratic. If there’s any lack of hospitality, please don’t take it to heart. She’s just used to giving orders, but she’s not a bad person at heart.”
Knowing his mother’s character, Zuo Ling needed to give Shangguan Xi a heads-up.
Having been with Shangguan Xi for three years, Zuo Ling knew that she was an empathetic and understanding girl; as long as things were explained to her, she would understand.
Shangguan Xi nodded, “Don’t worry.”
“Let’s go then.”
It wasn’t long before they arrived at the Zuo Family home.
The Zuo Family lived in a residence allocated by the unit, within a courtyard where everyone knew each other.
The environment in the courtyard was quite nice, neat and tidy, though it paled in parison to the Ni Family’s detached courtyard house.
Seeing Zuo Ling bring a young and beautiful girl home, everyone teased him with a smile, “Xiaozuo, who’s this? Your girlfriend?”
“Yes, Auntie Five, this is my girlfriend, Shangguan Xi. Xiaoxi, this is Auntie Five, she lives above us and is also a colleague of my parents.”
Shangguan Xi greeted her politely, “Hello, Auntie Five.”
“Hello, my, this girl is quite pretty!”
No wonder Zuo Ling wasn’t interested in Chen Laibao; pared to Shangguan Xi, Chen Laibao just didn’t hold a candle.
Hearing someone praise Shangguan Xi’s looks, Zuo Ling’s face beamed with pride.
Marrying a beautiful bride like her was his own achievement!
Could Auntie Five’s son ever manage to marry someone as beautiful as Shangguan Xi?
The Zuo Family lived on the third floor in a spacious three-bedroom apartment. The place was tidy, which also showed that Zuo Ling’s mother was a person who liked cleanliness.
Shangguan Xi, who had a mild case of OCD, was relieved to see how neat and clean the Zuo Family home was.
Zuo Ling’s parents were sitting on the sofa.
Zuo Ling introduced Shangguan Xi to them, “Dad, Mom, this is my girlfriend, Shangguan Xi.”
Shangguan Xi, very politely, placed the gifts she had brought aside, “Hello, uncle and auntie, I’m Shangguan Xi, you can just call me Xiaoxi.”
Zuo Ling’s mother glanced sideways at the gifts Shangguan Xi had brought.
Bananas, apples, meat, brown sugar…
Just ordinary things nobody wanted.
Did they seem like a family that couldn’t afford meat to her?
Not bringing some nutritious and valuable gifts on the first visit, it seemed like she had no home training.
Every time Chen Laibao visited, she would bring bags of good stuff!
Malted Milk, Royal Bee Jelly, bird’s nest…
And with that, she wanted to marry her son?
In her dreams.
Zuo Ling’s father stood up with a smile, “You girl, there was no need to bring anything! e, sit down, sit down!”
Zuo Ling kept winking at his mother.
Seeing it was for her son’s sake, Zuo Ling’s mother stood up, “We didn’t know in advance you were ing, so we didn’t prepare anything. Xiaoxi, would you like some tea or a soft drink?”
Zuo Ling’s family was somewhat better off than average, otherwise, they wouldn’t have a nanny.
This statement was actually a veiled boast.
