Upon hearing this, Zuo Ling’s eyes lit up.
Three years of feelings for Shangguan Xi, maybe she really would forgive him?
The mother and son hurried back to the spot they had been at, and luckily, Shangguan Xi and Ni Yang were still there.
"Xiaoxi, my good child, why are you here?" Zuo’s mother approached and tapped on the car window, looking urgently at Shangguan Xi.
Zuo Ling said, "Xiaoxi, I was wrong. Please forgive me! Can we start over, please? Give me a chance, and from now on, I’ll do anything you say..."
Shangguan Xi gave them a cold glance, "Get lost!"
Then she floored the gas pedal, and the car took off, leaving the Zuo family mother and son in a cloud of dust.
Realizing there was no chance of reconciliation, the mother and son sat down on the ground and broke into loud sobs.
Ni Yang gave a thumbs-up to Shangguan Xi, "Sister Xiaoxi, that was impressive, your driving is getting better and better."
Shangguan Xi said a bit sheepishly, "I don’t know what came over me just now; suddenly, I drove so well."
Ni Yang continued, "By the way, was that old lady we saw earlier Zuo Ling’s mother?"
Shangguan Xi nodded.
Ni Yang went on, "From her looks, that old lady is no easy customer. Don’t get fooled by them again."
Shangguan Xi said without words, "Yangyang, do I look like a fool to you?"
She wasn’t stupid enough to be tricked by Zuo Ling again!
Besides, it seemed like she was starting to like someone else now.
Thinking of that person, a smile touched Shangguan Xi’s brows.
Seeing this, Ni Yang felt relieved.
Wu Yanyun had been coming home very late these days, which deeply worried Wu Jinshu, so he decided to wait for her at the Community entrance.
He wouldn’t have known how bad it was if he hadn’t waited; he was shocked!
Wu Yanyun wasn’t coming back with a female classmate but was being dropped off by a young man on a motorbike.
Seeing this, Wu Jinshu was furious, and he reached out to stop the motorbike, "Yanyun! Get off now!"
Wu Yanyun, who was in the back seat, was startled, "Dad..."
"Come here!"
Wu Yanyun hesitated, then walked behind Wu Jinshu.
Wu Jinshu pointed at Wei Haoguang, the motorbike rider, and said, "Young man! Our Yanyun is a good girl, she needs to study hard. Please don’t come looking for her again! Otherwise, I’ll hit you every time I see you!"
Wei Haoguang was also scared, and he took off on his motorbike, making a U-turn to flee!
Wu Yanyun frowned and said, "Dad! What were you just saying? Wei Haoguang is just a friend! How am I supposed to face my friends after what you just did?"
"Yanyun!" Wu Jinshu said, "You are still a student! As a student, you should behave like one. What does it look like, hanging out with these kinds of dubious people all the time? I forbid you to associate with them from now on!"
"And another thing, tell me the truth. Have you not been going to your classmates’ houses to study recently? Have you been hanging out with these people all this time?"
"It’s none of your business! You have no right to interfere with who I am friends with!" Wu Yanyun turned and stormed off.
Wu Jinshu sighed and followed behind her.
Once home, Yan Erju noticed the father and daughter both looked upset, so she asked what was wrong.
Wu Jinshu looked at Wu Yanyun, "You ask her!"
Wu Yanyun snorted and walked to her room, backpack slung over her shoulder.
Didn’t she even have the right to choose her friends now?
Wu Jinshu didn’t understand Wei Haoguang at all. What right did he have to think so badly of him?
