Chapter 685: The Mother Exploiting Her Daughter

After knowing that Wei Deng's family had bought a new house in the provincial capital and decorated it beautifully, Mo Ru became more gentle and considerate to Wei Deng. Although she had a room in her stepfather's house, she did not have any sense of belonging. She was eager to start a family and move out after graduation.

In late November, the weather is getting colder, and the clay pot soup at Song Xia Snack Shop is at its best selling time again. My daughter Wei Zhu has an exam today, but she doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all. She only looks at the time when she is not so busy.

At this time, Wei Zhu, who had just come out of the examination room, met an acquaintance outside the examination room.

"Wei Zhu!"

Wei Zhu turned around following the voice and was also surprised: "Senior?"

"It's really you. I thought I called the wrong person." Zhuang Bo looked a little excited. "It's been a long time."

"It's been almost two years! Senior, are you here to take the exam as well?"

"Well, I worked for two years after graduation, but I saw my colleagues being laid off one by one, so I decided to give it a try. Is that you too?"

"My mother asked me to take the exam, saying that it would be more stable for a girl to work in a certain unit."

"Auntie, that's very thoughtful. How about adding your contact information? I called you after graduation, but unfortunately your number is no longer in service."

Wei Zhu was a little embarrassed: "My cell phone was broken at that time, and when I bought the phone I got a free phone card, so I changed it."

"So that's how it is. We haven't seen each other for such a long time. May I give you a favor and invite you to dinner?" Zhuang Bo's expression was very serious. If you looked closely, there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

The same goes for Wei Zhu. They both worked in the same store back then. Although they didn't communicate much, she had a sense of friendship with him at that time. It's just that both of them were not well off at the time, so they didn't reveal it. Is this meeting fate?
She was a little shy, but didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she nodded.

Zhuang Bo chose a home-style restaurant. He did not talk about which unit they would apply to, but kept talking about their activities in college and the interesting things that happened when they were working.

“Have you ever gone back to school to see it after graduation?”

"No." Wei Zhu shook his head, "I don't have much time to watch."

"I have been there, and although I ran into people from your class, it's a pity that they don't have your contact information either."

Wei Zhu was stunned again. Did the senior come to look for him specifically? Could it be that he also...

Wei Zhu looked up and met Zhuang Bo's smiling eyes: "Where do you live now? I'll take you home after dinner."

"Just over there in the old town, what about you?"

"It's not far. I haven't resigned yet. My company and residence are both in the new town in the south."

"You are amazing, you can study for the exam while working."

Zhuang Bo shrugged: "Life forces me to do so. There is nothing I can do."

Wei Zhu smiled. When the meal was over, she realized that the two of them had talked more words during this meal than when they worked together. It seemed that both of them cherished each other very much, and the chatting process was also very relaxed. The senior still respected people like before.

When it was time to pay the bill, Zhuang Bo paid the bill forcefully, then smiled at Wei Zhu: "Just give me an excuse to have dinner together next time, okay?"

Wei Zhu blushed slightly: "Okay."

Hearing that she no longer asked for AA, Zhuang Bo was also relieved. They both came by subway, so they took the subway home together. Wei Zhu took a direct subway, while Zhuang Bo needed to transfer in the middle of the way. However, he still insisted on leaving the station first to send Wei Zhu off, and then re-entered the station.

He did not follow Wei Zhu to the door of her house, but knowing that she lived at the entrance of the alley, he considerately said that he just needed to watch her go in.

Back in the room, Wei Zhu was still thinking about every detail of today and didn't even notice that her mother Song Xia had returned.

"Why didn't you go over for dinner tonight?"

"I met an acquaintance at the exam room, so we ate outside together."

Song Xia noticed that she looked strange, but did not expose her: "How did you feel about the test today?"

"It should be OK!" Wei Zhu said with a little confidence, "But even if I pass the final competition, there will still be interviews next year, so I am not sure about the final result."

"It's okay. If you don't pass, you can just take it as experience. Do you have plans to travel somewhere after the test? The interview will be in March next year, so there's no rush."

Wei Zhu shook his head: "There's nowhere I want to go."

After answering this question, she soon had a destination. It was Zhuang Bo who invited her to travel together.

"I won the grand prize of a trip for two at the company's annual meeting. I thought no one could go with me, so I thought of you. How about it, Wei Zhu, do you have time?" Zhuang Bo added hastily, "It's not too far, it's in this province, it's a three-day, two-night trip, and there's a private room. If you don't go, the other spot will be wasted."

Wei Zhu knew what he meant. Although she felt that the process was a bit too fast, she still didn't want to disappoint her senior.

She thought, is this the difference between being moved and not being moved? When Jing Jun came to her before, she just felt annoyed, but for the senior, she was afraid that he would be disappointed.

"Great, I don't have anything to do right now anyway, so I can travel for free, I'm so happy!"

"How about we set off on Saturday morning and I pick you up at the alley where I dropped you off last time?"

"No problem, just call me when the time comes." After hanging up the phone, Wei Zhu's heart was pounding, and then she started trying on clothes. She wanted to think about what to wear during the two days of traveling.

She had said before that she didn't want to travel, but now she wanted to go to an ancient town after just a few days. Song Xia didn't expose her because she could see that her daughter was very happy this time. Was it the person she met in the exam room last time? Did they meet in college?

Song Xia flipped through the memories in her mind. It seemed that after her daughter died in her previous life, a man came to pay homage. He claimed to be her daughter's classmate. Recalling the scene of her previous life, he was very sad at the time. Could it be him?
If it was him, it would not be impossible. He was able to find out about his daughter's death and run a long way to attend the funeral, which shows that he still has some friendship in his heart. Moreover, judging from his appearance in his previous life, he was handsome and looked very compatible with Wei Zhu.

So before Wei Zhu left, Song Xia transferred a large sum of money to him: "When you go out to play, have fun and don't worry about the money."

"But this is too much!"

"Not much. Don't always let the other party pay the bill, okay?"

Wei Zhu carefully watched his mother's expression. He always felt that his mother seemed to have guessed something, so he became more embarrassed.

"Be safe out there, and call mom if you have any questions."

"Okay, I understand. I'll pay attention to it."

On the other hand, Zhuang Bo was also making careful preparations for this trip. The annual meeting lottery was real, but the one who won the grand prize was not him, but another colleague. He bought this travel opportunity with money.

When he got Wei Zhu's consent, he was extremely excited at first, and then he kept making travel plans. He wanted to make this trip more meaningful.
