After being counseled by Li Er, Li Bala felt much better and the two went home together.

Unexpectedly, when walking in the alley, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of their house. After the two looked at each other, they hurried forward to check if something happened at home.

When we got to the door, we found that it was Li Bala's grandmother who was arguing with a fashionable woman, and this fashionable woman was actually Li Bala's mother.

Li Bala's mother Shuangqing came back, this time to see her daughter, but she didn't expect that the old lady still resented her for abandoning them to go abroad shortly after her husband died, and kept stopping her from entering the house.

"Don't touch my clothes and shoes, they're very expensive!"

Grandma Li said: "Guigui, I have never seen it!"

"You are really crazy." Shuang Qing said in English.

"You can speak bird language, right? What's so great about speaking bird language? No matter where you go, you'll be unlucky for your husband!"

Shuang Qing looked at Grandma Li in disbelief and asked, "What did you say?"

"Husband killer! Go, leave right here, you shameless bastard! If you don't leave, I will call the police!"

Li Bala didn't expect to see this scene when she came back. She stopped Li Er and turned away.

Li Er said worriedly, "Well, why don't you go home and take a look? What if something happens?"

"Little Ear, do you know what it feels like to be homeless? You don't know. Go back. You have classes tomorrow."

"Don't be angry, okay!"

Li Bala said, "The woman just now was my mother. She left when I was very young. After ten years of separation, this is the gift she gave me. She was afraid that I would not be embarrassed enough in front of the neighbors."

Li Er hesitated for a moment and said, "How about you come to my house and stay there today?"

"Forget it. I'm afraid of scaring them. Go back. You still have classes tomorrow. I can find a way to find accommodation myself."

Li Bala was not being polite to Li Er. She had the living expenses given to her by Zhao Shucheng, so she could afford to stay in a hotel every day.

It was just that in the past, she thought that her grandmother was at home. Although she was not very close to her grandmother, she was still her grandmother, so she wanted to spend the New Year with her. But now that her mother came and made such a fuss, she did not want to become the subject of discussion among the neighbors, so she could only stay in a hotel and hope that this matter would be over soon.

The next day.

When Li Bala returned home, she saw her mother waiting there early, as if she knew she was coming.

"What are you here for?"

"Let me take a look at you. Look at what you are wearing. It's not fashionable at all. I'm giving you a gift. It's the best among luxury brands. Look, this silk scarf that your mother bought for you. It looks very fashionable when you wear it. Come, let me put it on you!"

When Li Bala saw Shuang Qing about to put it on her, she stopped him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Well, mom came back this time to take you abroad. You will definitely like it, it's really nice there."

Grandma Li walked in from outside and said, "How many times have I told you that you are not welcome here? How can you be so shameless as a woman? Go away!"

Shuang Qing said: "My clothes are very expensive, don't touch them!"

Li Bala said, "Our small courtyard can't accommodate a big Buddha like you. Just pretend that you don't have a daughter like me, and I will pretend that I don't have a mother like you."

"Why are you talking to your mother like that?"

"How can I tell you this? You didn't discuss this with me when you left, and now you're back and you want to take me away without consulting me. Have you asked for my opinion? Why do you think I'm willing to go with you?"

Shuang Qing didn't expect Li Bala to ask this. He was stunned for a moment and said, "But I also want to give you a better life. I have money now, so I can let you live a better life. You can go outside and see that this is just a remote little corner."

"Thank you for thinking of me, but I don't want to leave, so you don't have to bother. If you come back to see me, I welcome you, and there's nothing else to say. Just because you can leave without worries doesn't mean I can too."

Shuangqing has actually become accustomed to arranging everything by himself and dominating others instead of letting others dominate him.

But seeing that his daughter was so resistant to his closeness, he knew that it was unlikely that he could take Li Bala away directly, so he could only leave the gifts he brought for Li Bala and prepare to ask his nephew what had happened to Li Bala during this period.

When Shuang Qing learned from Asi about Li Bala's experiences over the years, especially that she went to Shanghai to chase a man and might be involved with this man in the future, she finally understood why her daughter was unwilling to go abroad with him.

She felt that her daughter shouldn't be like this, at least she shouldn't give up her future for a man at such a young age. But her daughter didn't have much affection for her, and because of Grandma Li, she might have many opinions and views on her.

If I go to Li Bala and ask her to give up her love and go with me, I might be kicked out by Li Bala before I can even finish my words.

After thinking it over, Shuang Qing felt that it would be easier to start from Zhao Shucheng. At least to deal with a young man like this, he only needed to use a little trick or money to make him leave his daughter.

After they separate, it won't be a big problem for me to persuade my daughter to leave with me.

Do it as you think. Shuang Qing didn't have much time to stay here, so he immediately asked Asi to book him the nearest train ticket and prepared to go to the Magic City to find Zhao Shucheng.

Of course, she did not go to find Zhao Shucheng without any clue. Instead, she got Zhao Shucheng's contact information through Asi, and planned to make an appointment to meet Zhao Shucheng after arriving in the Magic City.

Ah Xi himself didn't actually have Zhao Shucheng's contact information, but this wasn't a difficult problem for him. After all, Zhao Shucheng was once a student at Tianyi Middle School, and his bar was crowded with people, including many Tianyi students or parents, so he could always find someone who knew Zhao Shucheng or had his contact information.

When Zhao Shucheng was having a party with his high school classmates, he received a phone call from an unknown number.

When he heard that the person on the other end was Li Bala's mother and asked him to meet her, although he felt a little confused, he still agreed to meet her.

When Zhao Shucheng arrived at the agreed coffee shop, it was already evening. Zhao Shucheng walked into the restaurant as the sun set.

The sky was shining with colorful clouds, and Zhao Shucheng was surrounded by golden light, as if he was a god descending from heaven. Shuang Qing was actually staring at the door. Although she had seen Zhao Shucheng's photo before, so she would not recognize the wrong person, but when she saw Zhao Shucheng, Shuang Qing could not help but be stunned for a moment.

It has to be said that Zhao Shucheng's appearance is the most outstanding among all the men she knows. In particular, he exudes a youthful aura, yet also has a mature flavor, which makes Shuang Qing unable to hate him, and even likes him a little in her heart.

This made her understand why her daughter would pursue him regardless of the consequences, come to the Magic City alone for him, and even refused to leave him and go abroad with her.

If there was a man she liked back then who looked similar to Zhao Shucheng, or even half as good as him, she might not have chosen to leave.

Soon, Shuang Qing shook her head. This was not the thought she should have, especially when she was facing a teenager who was her daughter's boyfriend.

Zhao Shucheng also recognized Shuang Qing at a glance. After all, this person looked familiar. He was also the face of the former Miss Asia champion and had played many film and television roles.

"Hello, you are Li Bala's mother, right?"

Shuang Qing nodded and said, "Yes, I am Bala's mother, and you are Xu Yi, right?"

"Auntie, hello. Is there anything you can talk to me about? It seems that Bala has returned to Dongshan and is not in the Magic City now."

Shuang Qing said: "Although I came here for Bala's matter, I also know that Bala is in Dongshan, and I have even met him before."

"Then I wonder why Auntie is looking for me?"

Shuang Qing said, "Xu Yi, you and Bala are still young, and you should focus on studying instead of love affairs. You are just a freshman now, and it will take more than three years to graduate, and Bala has already graduated, but has no education and can't find a good job. Have you ever thought about how you will live together? I can't let my daughter work to support you or use the living expenses given by your parents. Can you two live together for a month?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled after hearing this and said, "Auntie, you probably don't know me very well, right? At least before you came to see me, you didn't ask me, or even do any research."

"What does this have to do with my conversation with you today?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "If Auntie knew more about me and my family's situation, you wouldn't say such things."

After looking at the somewhat confused Shuang Qing, Zhao Shucheng said, "Aunt, although my family is not a wealthy family, we have our own company, so we are considered to have some assets. I can't say that I can let Li Bala live the life of a rich wife, but there will be no problem for her to have enough food and drink."

Shuang Qing suddenly felt that she had come here a little hastily. She had indeed come to Zhao Shucheng without conducting a thorough investigation. Now it seemed that it would not be so easy to get him to leave his daughter.

Zhao Shucheng didn't want to play a scene with Shuangqing, so he said, "Aunt, if you want me to break up with Bala, you shouldn't come to me, but Bala. After all, I once said that as long as she doesn't leave me, I won't give up on her."

Although Shuang Qing was a little angry that Zhao Shucheng treated him like this, he was not prepared before. He could only be prepared before talking to Zhao Shucheng next time.

"Auntie, where do you live? I'll take you there!"

Shuang Qing actually didn't plan to stay in Shanghai for long, and didn't even book a hotel, planning to return to Dongshan that night. But now that he hadn't achieved his purpose, he was unwilling to return empty-handed.

"I haven't booked a hotel yet, you go first."

Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Auntie, you can go to the house where Bala and I live, and you can just give Bala the key. You can also take a look at Bala's current residence. You can come to visit Bala when you have time in the future."

Shuangqing originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought of something and agreed.

Shuang Qing initially thought that Zhao Shucheng was going to take a taxi to take him back, but when he saw Zhao Shucheng driving the car and looking very skilled, he realized that he had underestimated Zhao Shucheng.

Neither of them spoke in the car. Not long after, Zhao Shucheng drove to the community and took Shuang Qing into the house.

Shuang Qing looked around the room, it looked warm and clean.

Zhao Shucheng said, "Auntie, Bala lives in this room, and all the toiletries are here. If you need anything, you can find them at the supermarket outside the community."

"I understand. I will buy it myself. You go back first!"

Zhao Shucheng was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then agreed.

This made Shuang Qing feel a little embarrassed. After all, this was Zhao Shucheng's house, and he seemed to be the host.

Looking at Zhao Shucheng's back, Shuang Qing bit her lip lightly and sighed softly, feeling that she had a long way to go to make them break up.

Li Bala originally thought that her mother would continue to bother her, but she never showed up again. Li Bala laughed at herself and thought that her mother had given up.

But at night, she received a call from Zhao Shucheng, and only then did she realize that her mother had gone to find Zhao Shucheng and asked him to leave her.

This made Li Bala very angry, and she knew that it must be her cousin Asi who informed on her. She was worried that her mother would make Zhao Shucheng unhappy, so she packed up and prepared to go to the Magic City to find her mother and ask her not to harass Zhao Shucheng.

But before Li Bala finished cleaning up, she heard a clang in the living room. She went out and saw her grandmother lying on the floor with food and dishes scattered on the floor.

Li Bala walked over to her grandmother, checked on her, and discovered that she seemed to be unconscious. She had no choice but to quickly call a neighbor to take her grandmother to the hospital.

After arriving at the hospital, the doctor examined her and told Li Bala that Grandma Li had a heart attack and needed to be hospitalized for observation. If the condition was serious, surgery would be required.

Grandma Li had no other relatives, so Li Bala had to stay and take care of her mother and could not rush to the Magic City immediately.

She could only call Zhao Shucheng and tell him the news that her grandmother was in the hospital. She also asked Zhao Shucheng not to agree to any of her mother's requests and that she would never leave Zhao Shucheng or go abroad with her mother.

Zhao Shucheng didn't expect that things would develop like this. In the original plot, Grandma Li didn't have to be hospitalized. But thinking that the plot has already deviated greatly, this may be a plot that will not be included in the sequel.

He could only ask Li Bala to take good care of her grandmother. As for the medical expenses and surgery fees, he told her not to worry. If she needed money, she could just tell him and he would transfer the money to her directly.

Li Bala said, "Don't worry about the money. The living expenses you gave me are enough to pay for it. But don't bother with my mother."

"Okay, I get it! Don't worry, I won't listen to her. After all, even if you want to break up, you have to tell me in person for it to count." (End of this chapter)
