Jiang Xiaoguo was momentarily speechless.
"But he's my ex-boyfriend. I remember you met him through me. How did you two become acquainted?"
Liang Shuang said, "Why not! You said yourself that he's my ex-boyfriend, not my current boyfriend, so why wouldn't we be familiar with each other? Actually, our relationship is more intimate and closer than you think."
Jiang Xiaoguo was furious.
Pointing at Liang Shuang, he said, "You...you're shameless."
Liang Shuang sneered: "You're shameless! You two broke up a long time ago, and you're still here fantasizing. So what if we're dating? It's none of your business!"
"I...I..." Jiang Xiaoguo's face turned red with anger.
The two were arguing when Li Mu came out of the restroom, paid the bill, and walked over.
"Xiao Guo, what are you doing here?" she exclaimed in surprise.
Upon seeing Li Mu, Jiang Xiaoguo felt a little flustered and stammered, "I...I'm here to see Da Bao. Yes, I'm here to see Da Bao. Da Bao is eating here."
Li Mu said, "Oh, I see! Have you eaten? Would you like to sit down and join us?"
Jiang Xiaoguo quickly waved her hand: "No need, no need, Dabao is still waiting for me! I just saw you guys eating and came to take a look."
As he spoke, he asked, seemingly casually, "Why are you all eating together?"
Li Mu said, "If we run into each other at noon, let's have lunch together. Da Bao, you really are a foodie, how come we can run into each other like this?"
Seeing that Li Mu's expression was normal and he didn't seem to have a close relationship with Liang Shuang, Jiang Xiaoguo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "My mom is coming to Shenzhen to see me tomorrow. She's not familiar with the area, so I need to pick her up at the station..."
He finished speaking and looked at Li Mu with some hope, his meaning quite clear.
Li Mu smiled and readily replied, "I happen to be free tomorrow. Give me a call if you need anything."
Jiang Xiaoguo said happily, "Thank you, thank you for your trouble." As she spoke, she glanced at Liang Shuang with a haughty look.
Li Mu said, "It's nothing. I know Auntie too. I just hope she won't blame me for what happened back then. In high school, Auntie's face would turn black whenever she saw me."
Jiang Xiaoguo immediately assured her, "No, my mom likes you a lot. She'll be very happy to see you."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved. Call me in advance tomorrow."
Hearing Li Mu's answer, Jiang Xiaoguo felt smug and gave Liang Shuang a triumphant look, only to be met with a glare from the other woman.
"Then I'll go find Da Bao."
Although she was still a little bothered by him having dinner with Liang Shuang, the thought that he would accompany her to the train station to pick up her mother tomorrow quickly dispelled her unhappiness.
It was just a meal, and she's already bringing people to meet her mother.
……
The next day, at the exit of Pingshan Station in Shenzhen, Jiang Xiaoguo stood outside the railing and waved, saying, "Mom! Over here."
"Xiaoguo!"
Upon seeing Jiang Xiaoguo, Jiang's mother pushed her suitcase and ran over, immediately embracing her.
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
"Mom misses you too!"
The two hugged for a while, and Jiang Xiaoguo noticed that her mother was wearing large sunglasses and a mink coat, and said with amusement, "Mom, why are you wearing so much?"
Jiang's mother said, "I'm so hot! I had no idea it would be this hot in Shenzhen!"
"What are you thinking? Take it off right now!"
"it is good!"
Jiang Xiaoguo told her mother to take off her mink coat, and carrying the coat in one hand and pushing her suitcase with the other, she walked out, saying, "Let's go, the car is outside!"
"There's a car! What kind of car?" Jiang's mother was quite surprised that her daughter had found a car to pick her up.
Seeing her mother's curious expression, Jiang Xiaoguo confidently said, "Great car!"
Jiang's mother was a little skeptical: "Really? Where did you find such a nice car?"
Jiang Xiaoguo blinked: "You'll find out in a bit, but let's make a deal beforehand: you have to be good-tempered, don't give me attitude, don't lose your temper, and don't say anything unpleasant."
Jiang Xiaoguo said this as a preemptive warning. Back in high school, when she was in a relationship, her mother found out and was furious, wanting to break them up.
Because of this, Zhao Dachuan was immediately blacklisted by Jiang's mother. They had met a few times, and although he hadn't directly assaulted her, he hadn't given her a friendly look either.
If they were to suddenly meet, who knows what their reaction would be.
Jiang's mother became even more curious and quickly nodded, saying, "Okay, Mom will listen to you, alright?"
Jiang Xiaoguo was finally satisfied.
As she spoke, Jiang's mother patted the suitcase again and said, "Xiao Guo, did you see that? Mom brought you something good this time!"
Jiang Xiaoguo looked at the large bag of things and was speechless.
"Mom, you always bring a huge suitcase full of food with you, and there's simply no room in the dorm!"
Mother Jiang said, "What? You really don't want it?"
Jiang Xiaoguo: I can't let it go!
"Oh my, this is some good stuff!"
Jiang's mother glanced at her clever and mischievous daughter and said with a half-smile, "Really, no. I really brought you something good this time."
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo's disbelieving expression, Jiang's mother got excited too.
"Let me tell you, Xiaoguo, last time I ran into Aunt Zhao and her daughter, they were carrying huge designer bags and were so smug! I thought, my daughter is so outstanding, we should at least have a nice bag! So, I bought one for you and brought it with me to this wedding, look!"
As she spoke, Jiang's mother took a brand-new Gucci bag out of her suitcase.
When Jiang Xiaoguo saw the Gucci logo on the bag, her eyes widened in shock.
"Mom, it's true!"
Looking at her daughter's expression, Jiang's mother couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, "How about that, are you dumbfounded? Your mother didn't lie to you."
Jiang Xiaoguo took the bag with a look of surprise, looking at it from left to right, and couldn't put it down.
"Mom, you're too generous."
Seeing how much she liked the bag, Jiang's mother was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling.
Soon, the two of them exited the station, and Li Mu walked over with a smile.
"Auntie! You've arrived. Let me help you with this. The car is over there."
As he spoke, he took the luggage from Jiang's mother's hands. Looking at the young man before her, Jiang's mother felt she had seen him somewhere before. After a long while, she tentatively asked, "You...you are Da Chuan..."
Li Mu's demeanor has changed so much. In addition, the last time they met was several years ago in high school. It's a testament to her good eyesight that she could recognize him and remember the brat who had a crush on her daughter.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Auntie, you have a really good memory."
Jiang's mother looked left and right, confused.
She remembered that the two seemed to have broken up. Two years ago, she had a phone call with her daughter, Xiaoguo, and Xiaoguo had scolded Zhao Dachuan. She comforted her for a long time. Could it be that they had gotten back together?
Young people are indeed young people; they do everything rashly, as if they're just playing around.
Jiang's mother finally understood the purpose of Jiang Xiaoguo's three rules with her earlier. Back in high school, she had broken up a couple, and Zhao Dachuan was the second person on her blacklist. As for who was the number one person on her blacklist, it was of course Jiang Xiaoguo's father, that heartless man.
However, Jiang's mother thought that her daughter underestimated her mother's magnanimity. High school and college are not the same thing! Xiao Guo is about to graduate, which is the age for dating. She was worried about when her daughter would find a boyfriend again!
Putting aside the fact that the young man is handsome and talented, the two have been dating since high school and know each other well. She even doubts whether such an outstanding young man would still be interested in her Xiaoguo! How could she object!
"Xiao Guo, you two are... together again," Jiang's mother whispered in Jiang Xiao Guo's ear.
Jiang Xiaoguo blushed, secretly glancing at Li Mu as if she hadn't heard him, and pulled her mother to explain, "Mom, don't talk nonsense, no way! Da Chuan came to Shenzhen to make a living some time ago, we just met not long ago, we're just friends, we're not together."
Seeing that her mother was about to say something, Jiang Xiaoguo quickly covered her mouth: "Mom, don't ask!"
Jiang's mother smiled and said nothing more. After so many years together, she could easily see through her daughter's little schemes.
Once in the car, Jiang's mother asked curiously, "Da Chuan, is this your car?"
Before Li Mu could speak, Jiang Xiaoguo was afraid that he would ask a lot of questions like a gossip, and that it would be awkward since the two of them were not even officially dating yet!
She quickly interjected, "Mom, you don't know yet, do you? Da Chuan has started his own business and is doing very well."
Li Mu said, "Yes, Auntie!"
Jiang's mother understood what her daughter meant, so she could only suppress her curiosity and praise, "The car is really nice, really nice."
For the rest of the journey, the mother and daughter mostly chatted about everyday things, with Li Mu listening and occasionally chiming in.
After a long drive, they soon arrived at the guesthouse that Jiang Xiaoguo had booked.
After settling everyone in, Li Mu said goodbye and didn't linger. Once they were gone, Jiang's mother asked, "Xiao Guo, what does this mean? It seems you two aren't officially together yet!"
Jiang Xiaoguo said, "Mom, don't worry about it. Da Chuan just arrived here recently. We've been separated for two years already. It can't be that fast!"
"Besides, he was the one who broke up with me and wanted to get back together back then, and I might not have even agreed!"
Jiang's mother reached out and tapped Jiang Xiaoguo's forehead.
"You're getting cocky when I say you're fat. Look at him now, he's handsome and has great charisma."
"Look at yourself again, how dare you..."
