Liu Yao's face turned even redder as she shyly said, "Mom, my classmate asked me to sign it."
"Good, good, good. Your classmates are your classmates. Ling Qiao, you're the Prince Charming in the hearts of these students." Zhang Lin turned around and glanced at Shu, who was following behind her. She mocked, "But, don't have any bad intentions. Ling Qiao is your brother-in-law, so don't make your classmates too enthusiastic."
Liu Yao lowered her head and shyly said, "Mom, I know."
Everyone had a bit of vanity, being worshipped and liked always made them happy. Ling Qiao was no exception, "Looks like I really have a lot of fans, but Yao Yao still has a class to attend. Learning is more important …"
"It's alright. It's the same if I don't attend piano lessons. It's the same if I practice at home."
Zhang Lin nudged Liu Yao. "Yaoyao, go, show your hand to brother-in-law."
"That's not good. I heard that brother-in-law is at the tenth level of the piano. I'm not even at the eighth level yet."
"Then let brother-in-law hear it. Give us some pointers and go there." Zhang Lin urged.
"I haven't touched the piano in years," said Ling Qiao.
Liu Yao was extremely embarrassed. "Then, alright, brother-in-law, please excuse me."
Shu Shu brought the soup over and placed it on the tea table. "It's for you." In her heart, she understood that Zhang Lin was trying to hook up with her daughter. That's right, if Liu Yao was twenty years old and the position of Ling Family's Young Mistress was Liu Yao's, now that she had become Ling Qiao's wife by mistake, how could Zhang Lin not blame her?!
If Liu Yao had reached the age at which she could get married, even if she didn't say anything, Zhang Lin would probably reveal her background. If she did, Ling Qiao would still be highly sought after.
Ling Qiao did not like drinking soup that much, especially this so-called "soup specially made for him." At home, under the care of his grandmother and mother, he had drunk countless soups, and when he heard this he immediately fainted. However, it was too embarrassing not to drink it. After all, this was his father-in-law's home. He held the bowl of soup to Shu Shu's mouth and said, "Drink it. You're weak, so you should make up for it."
"What I gave you is for you to drink. I don't want it." Shu Shu forcefully squeezed out a smile. "You can drink it. I stewed it all morning at home."
Ling Qiao frowned slightly. This little thing was like a hedgehog again. He was puzzled, but he also felt his heart ache. Why was she defending like this? Was there danger approaching? But why didn't she tell him?
A melodious and smooth piano sound rang out. Liu Yao threw herself into it with all her heart and soul, her fingertips quickly sliding across the piano as she played a series of beautiful notes.
This Liu Yao wasn't like the rumors on the internet. Although she wasn't the first beauty, she was still a person to look at. The first time she saw her half a year ago, she was still a little baby fat, but now, it really was just as Ling Qiao had said. She was getting more and more beautiful, and was even able to play a good zither.
When she was young, Shut envied those girls who could play the piano. He always felt that they were so elegant, so noble, but unfortunately, she had never touched the keys before.
Who doesn't like young men? Even a 50-60 year old man would look for a young girl in her twenties, not to mention that Ling Qiao had not even reached the age of 30.
When she thought of this, Shu Shu felt even more uncomfortable. She was even more afraid to tell him the truth. In fact, she was feeling extremely inferior and couldn't bear to compare at all.
She looked at the time. It was almost 11 P.M. Her mother was still waiting for her at home. What should she do now?!
"Wife, what's wrong?" Ling Qiao whispered into her ear. Liu Yao was quite good at the piano; she would definitely be able to pass level eight. But of course, this was not as important as her own wife.
Shu shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm fine."
It was time to eat. With a table full of good wine and good dishes, the Liu Clan really did not dare to be negligent at all.
Ling Qiao usually did not drink alcohol during lunch, and even at night, he rarely drank. Other than going out for social meetups, this was the first time he came here, so he had to at least drink a little bit.
Shu Shu suddenly had an idea. If Ling Qiao was drunk, then wouldn't she be able to slip away?! Besides, even if Ling Qiao woke up and she still hadn't returned, Liu Ziye and Zhang Lin would definitely help her lie.
Yes, get him drunk!
Liu Ziye and Zhang Lin were both sociable people, so the alcohol tolerance was not a problem. The alcohol table was filled with a" deep friendship, a dull friendship, a light friendship, lick. " After drinking up Ling Qiao, the Liu family's business would advance to a whole new level.
Ling Qiao had been very careful in the beginning, not drinking much in the afternoon. Moreover, this was his first time coming to his father-in-law's house, if he got drunk, it wouldn't look good.
ShuShu looked at him drink until his eyes turned red. He was still drunk, and his heart ached. These were all wine, not plain water.
She looked at the time, it was getting late, so she advised: "Dad, stop drinking, getting drunk is bad for the body."
Liu Ziye and Zhang Lin were also drinking until they were dizzy. Zhang Lin even opened another bottle, "Come on, good son-in-law. We have a lot of liquor at home. Drink it."
Shu Shu rolled her eyes and took the bottle of wine from her. "That's enough. Drink enough if you want!" She helped Ling Qiao up, "Hubby, let's go and rest."
Ling Qiao walked forward gracefully, doing his best to suppress his dazed state of mind. "I seem to have drunk too much. I can't afford to be rude when drinking with your father."
"Why are you being rude? Look at the two of them, they're both drunk!"
Ling Qiao turned around and saw that, sure enough, Zhang Lin was already lying on the table sleeping soundly when Liu Yao helped Liu Ziye onto the sofa, drunk to the extreme. Ling Qiao rushed towards her, "Hehe, I'll take good care of them. I'll go to your room and lie down for a while."
However, this was not her home. There was no room for her. Where should she help Ling Qiao rest?!
She couldn't be at ease letting Ling Qiao go to Liu Yao's room to rest. Although this husband was overbearing and arrogant, he was still her husband after all. She definitely couldn't send her husband to someone else's room, much less Liu Yao!
"Yaoyao, Ling Qiao and I will go home first. Take good care of them."
"Sis, Brother-in-law is like this. How are you going to get home? "Why don't you take a rest here? Mom said she would keep you guys for dinner tonight."
"No, no. Drink up so early and finish the dinner too. Let's go."
Helping Ling Qiao out of the Liu household, he took out his phone and called Deng Zijun to ask him to come and drive.
Deng Zijun drove the drunk Ling Qiao and the anxious Shu Shu to Chun Mu Yuan.
"Deng De, can you drive to the Phoenix District for a while? I still have some things to do, I'll get off over there. "
Deng Zijun turned the steering wheel, "Sure, Young Mistress. Do you need my help?"
"No." Just as she was about to say no, Shu Shu hastily changed the topic, "Sorry, I'll have to trouble you then. You help me send Ling Qiao back to the other garden, and you have to help me keep it a secret. I'll be going there to do some business, it's just a small personal matter."
Deng Zijun had been Ling Qiao's assistant for many years, and he understood even Ling Qiao's difficult to understand thoughts. He understood Shu Shu's meaning, this young mistress wanted to do some private things, and this matter could not be known by the CEO.
"Alright, I will send the CEO back."
"Thank you."
At the Phoenix district, Shu Shu got off the car. The moment she saw the car drive away, she ran towards her home.
"Mom." She was gasping for breath, her forehead and neck covered in sweat.
Seeing this, Shu Ning hurriedly went over to ask, "Shu Shu, what are you doing in such a hurry? Cold air south, this weather is so cold, you still sweat so much? Is it because I'm not feeling well? "
"Mom, I'm fine. I just ran up with you so I can accompany you to visit. Let me catch my breath, get ready." She was bent over, her hands on her thighs, and she was tired.
Shuning reached out to stroke her back, "Why are you in such a hurry? Mom knows you're busy with work, and there wasn't a phone call yesterday either. I went to the hospital myself early in the morning and just came back not long ago. I wanted to call you."
"Ah?" Mom, you went alone? " She really wanted to slap herself twice. If her mother wasn't well, she wouldn't be able to take good care of her at home, and there was still a need for her to go to the censors alone, there were queues everywhere, and all sorts of people running up and down. It was exhausting for her just thinking about it, "Mum, sorry, I'm really too busy to leave, I …"
"Alright, alright. Mom knows you worked hard. Come, sit on the sofa." Shuning poured a cup of hot water and passed it to her, "The amount of money you've sent me over the past few months is increasing. If you don't work hard, how can you get such a high salary? ShuShu, Mom can take care of herself, Mom doesn't want to be a burden to you, it's okay if you don't stay with her, really. "
She had been lying all this time, lying to her mother, lying to Ling Qiao, and even using Little Xuan as a shield. The people she loved, she could not face them with her truest heart.
"What happened?" Shuning saw his daughter's face filled with tears, and felt very anxious. While wiping her tears, he said, "ShuShu, is your work not going well? Too tired? "
Shu Shu shook her head, "No, mom, don't worry, everyone in the television station is very good, the director is very strict, but only with strict standards can we get good results, our colleagues are also very harmonious, and our senior sister in school, if you have the chance to bring her home for dinner, you will know. She takes great care of me, she will take me out to run news and other businesses."
"That's good. We should treat him to a meal."
"Mom, how about the results of your checkup?"
Shunning paused for half a second, but then smiled warmly. "Nothing serious. The doctor said that a slight rejection is not a problem, and he added some medicine, making the person a medicine jar."
Mom, don't be reluctant to spend money, the money from the card is all for you. If you want to buy medicine, then don't save what you can't save, if you want to eat or wear anything, just buy whatever you want, I'll take my salary now and the commission, just spend whatever you want.
Shu Ning nodded her head in satisfaction. "I know that my daughter is the most filial, but Mom doesn't need to spend any money. She can spend what she needs, and she can save what she doesn't need. If you get married and have children, you'll have to spend money."
Shu Shu buried her head in her mother's embrace. "Mom, when I get married, of course I'll spend my husband's money." When she thought of Ling Qiao, she felt a wave of bitterness in her heart. The bitterness that was mixed with regret was even more unbearable.
"Silly girl, I wonder where your husband is? Do you have any colleagues in the office who can get their hands on him?"
"Hehe, mom, you want to marry me out, right?"
"Mom only has her wish to see you get married and have children." Shuning's eyes became distant and sad.
