Chapter 113: Hypocritical mother-in-law, deliberately adding blockage
Coming in from the door, there are two noble tree species, open lush, an asphalt road is cleaned clean, there is no extra stone on it, drive a few hundred meters, enter the view is broad, in the middle, stands a three-storey small western-style building, it seems that more than a hundred years ago, this is still the French Concession when it has been built, the white wall has been renovated several times and is still standing.
Behind the small western-style building, there are several houses with their own characteristics, artificial lakes and courtyards echo each other, and the facilities inside are comparable to manors, including horse farms, shooting ranges, golf courses and so on to provide entertainment.
Although the environment here is beautiful and the internal facilities are amazing, Shen Ruowei couldn't help but tense her back the moment she entered here, and the word 'refusal' was written all over her body.
When she was a child, she herself had the privilege of living here for a while, and she was amazed by the architecture of the old mansion when she first entered the old mansion in patched clothes, and at that time, except for the old man, not to mention Luo Yuanyuan, even the servants in charge of cleaning looked down on her. But only Luo Ting, when she was being bullied, she was dressed in white and led her hand to everyone, as if she was redeemed.
Perhaps, it was just a casual move he did at that time, but for her, it is an indelible memory for a lifetime.
It's just that...... To this day, she has to reflect on whether it is worth it for her original obsession and unscrupulous means.
I don't know how long it took, the car stopped steadily at the door of the three-story small western-style building, the driver opened the door and got out of the car, and respectfully opened the door behind the car for the two people.
Shen Ruowei was inevitably a little nervous, she came and couldn't leave, she took a deep breath and walked out of the car.
The small western-style building in front of her was no different from what she remembered, she looked up at the small western-style building, the white walls were covered with green creepers, which inexplicably added a bit of ancient silence to the building.
Luo Ting's dark eyes swept away, glanced at Shen Ruowei beside him, and reminded him coldly, "Keep up." β
She hurriedly followed, and the maid opened the two doors, bowed her head and greeted the two respectfully, "Young Master, Young Madam." β
Luo Ting casually handed over the things in his hand, and the maid hurriedly took it, Shen Ruowei followed behind him, nervously observing around, the interior of the small western-style building is in European decoration style, dark red European furniture, and the huge crystal chandelier that is very eye-catching when you enter the door.
All furnishings, as before, have not changed in the slightest for more than ten years.
Led by the servant, the two men walked into the reception hall.
The ceiling of the hall is nearly five meters high, and an elegant crystal chandelier hangs down in the center, under the chandelier is a group of leather sofas, on the sofa sits a middle-aged woman wearing a purple embroidered dress, the woman is well maintained, more than forty years old, the skin is still white and tender, and the delicate peony embroidery and chic style on the skirt look like a private customized skirt. And she is holding a cloisonnΓ© enamel rose print teacup in her hand, elegant to the point of drinking tea, with long hair coiled on the top of her head, wearing drop-shaped precious jadeite on her ears, and a whole string of round seawater pearls of the heavenly girl level on her neck, the whole person looks jeweled and graceful.
After hearing the movement of the servants, he glanced unhurriedly to this side, then slowly put down the teacup, looked at Luo Ting and Shen Ruowei, who had already walked to the sofa, and said lightly, "You are back." β
Feeling the woman's gaze, Shen Ruowei immediately straightened her back and became highly nervous. This woman is none other than Luo Ting's mother, Pang Xuejing. And Pang Xuejing has always been disgusted with herself.
On the sofa, after Pang Xuejing glanced at her, she swept over her with a cold expression, as if she didn't even want to say anything more to her, turned to look at Luo Ting on the side, raised her hand and waved it gently, signaling for him to come over.
"Mom. Luo Ting walked over, even in the face of his mother Pang Xuejing, he still had a rigorous and indifferent expression.
Pang Xuejing looked him up and down several times kindly, with a slightly reproachful tone, "Ah Ting, haven't you had a good rest recently? You haven't come back to see me for a long time." β
"Recently, the company has been busy, and I will take the time to come back to accompany you more in the future. Luo Ting replied very decently, but his tone was still indifferent.
"That's good. Pang Xuejing nodded with satisfaction, pulled Luo Ting to sit down, and chatted with him cordially.
During the whole conversation, Pang Xuejing was basically talking, and Luo Ting answered mostly.
From beginning to end, Shen Ruowei stood silently on the edge of the sofa, watching their mother and son talk, from beginning to end, Pang Xuejing didn't ask her a word, as if there was no such person in front of her.
She knew that Pang Xuejing didn't like herself, and she was used to treating herself like this, but she couldn't help but do superficial work, as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't wait for her elders to give her the stairs, so she sat down next to Luo Ting, Pang Xuejing frowned after seeing it, because Luo Ting was present, so she didn't say anything.
She sat stiffly aside, not daring to disturb the two, and after a long time, she spoke cautiously.
"Mom, how is your body lately? Look at your recent complexion is getting better and better, you look a lot younger, Mom is really extraordinary, the two of us go out, I'm afraid that most of you are sisters. Shen Ruowei is used to being cautious in front of Pang Xuejing, even if she says it, she always says it well.
In her words, she was full of caution and flattery, and after speaking, she carefully observed Luo Ting's expression, although his expression couldn't see anything, but she still noticed Luo Ting's satisfaction, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Although it was a compliment to himself, it could be said from Shen Ruowei's mouth, and it didn't make Pang Xuejing show much pleasure, but taking into account Luo Ting, who was sitting opposite, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth, smiled hypocritically, and couldn't hear the slightest joy in his tone, "Ruowei is really getting better and better at talking." β
"I'm telling the truth. She smiled shyly and specially selected good words to say.
"This little mouth, it's the same as smearing honey, how is your body lately, is there anything uncomfortable about pregnancy?" Pang Xuejing maintained a faint smile and simply cared about it.
"Everything was fine, nothing was uncomfortable. She quickly replied obediently.
"That's good. Pang Xuejing and Shen Ruowei exchanged a few words, then they no longer cared about her affairs, turned their eyes to look at Luo Ting again, and said the most harsh topic with a smile, "By the way, Ah Ting, how has Xiang Nuan been recently? Some time ago, she came back with you to visit me, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her again." β
The word 'Xiang Nuan' is like two ** thrown out of Pang Xuejing's kind and kind words.
Shen Ruo secretly clenched his hands, maintaining the calmness on his face.
Wen Xiangnuan, this is the name she least wants to hear, but Pang Xuejing still has to mention in front of her that Wen Xiangnuan came to visit before, which is deliberately blocking herself, but she must be patient.
Beside her, Luo Ting didn't seem to have a special reaction, reached out to take the tea brought by the maid, and took a sip, "Her company is preparing to open recently, so she should be busy." β
"Xiang Nuan is really smart and capable, it's not easy for a girl to come back and work hard, and the two of you have both developed to the ...... of getting engaged" Pang Xuejing said kindly, deliberately glanced at Shen Ruowei, and then continued, "After all, Xiang Nuan saved you, and our two families are also old friends for several generations, if Xiang Nuan has any favors, you can help as much as you can." In the final analysis, it is we who owe a nuan. β
