Chapter 637 Let's Gossip a Little 1

Chen Ling nodded in agreement with Shen Ninglu's words, while simultaneously pondering how to get Shen's mother to go home and rest for a while. Then, a brilliant idea struck him.

"Mom, come and talk to me for a while," Chen Ling said to Shen's mother.

Then Li Lili and Shen Ninglu looked at each other simultaneously, and then exchanged glances. After that, they turned their attention to Chen Ling and Shen's mother.

When Shen's mother heard Chen Ling speak to her like that, she didn't know how to refuse, and could only agree.

"Okay, let's go over there first," said Mrs. Shen, looking at me, Chen Ling.

Then, Mrs. Shen turned to Li Lili and Shen Ninglu and said, "These are for you to take care of for now."

"Okay, Mom, don't worry, we'll pack up right away and come over to find you in a bit. You can go and chat for a while first," Shen Ninglu quickly said to her mother.

Then Mrs. Shen and Chen Ling began to leave...

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Ninglu asked Li Lili as soon as her mother and the others left.

However, after hearing Shen Ninglu's voice, Li Lili immediately turned around, smiled, and then said softly, "Um, it's nothing, it's nothing."

"Okay, then I won't bother with you anymore." Shen Ninglu nodded and said after hearing this. Actually, Shen Ninglu understood very well that Li Lili must have something on her mind, but she didn't want to ask any more questions because Li Lili didn't intend to tell her.

Then Shen Ninglu quietly began washing the dishes, while Li Lili, who was standing to the side, suddenly realized the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, so she quickly asked Shen Ninglu, "Hey, why aren't you asking me anything today? It feels a bit strange."

"I've always known that. If someone wants you to know something, they'll naturally tell you. But if they don't want you to know something, no matter how much you ask, they might not tell you. So, if you want to tell me, you'll naturally tell me. But if you don't want to tell me, what's the point of me asking you so many questions? Right?" Shen Ninglu said to Li Lili with a smile after hearing this.

Then, seeing Li Lili looking at Shen Ninglu as she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh. Then she asked Shen Ninglu, "The saying 'a scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days' is absolutely true. I feel like I don't understand you anymore. You're starting to lecture me. Impressive, impressive."

"Of course! I know a lot of profound truths, but I just don't want to tell you so much usually. But if you really want me to explain right and wrong to you, it'll be like listening to a fairy tale." Shen Ninglu said smugly, looking at Li Lili.

However, at that moment, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, replied with a smile, "Yes, that's good. Our Ninglu has grown up. That's wonderful."

“Yes, I’m all grown up now and I’m capable of sharing these things with you. So what is it that you can’t tell me? I just don’t understand your perspective. I always feel that you and Mom are unwilling to tell me too much and don’t like to discuss things with me.” Shen Ninglu immediately spoke up after hearing what Li Lili said.

Hearing Shen Ninglu's words, Li Lili felt a pang of sadness. Li Lili had always protected Shen Ninglu, and didn't want to share her worries with her. The main reason was that she wanted Shen Ninglu to be happy, because society owed Shen Ninglu far too much.

“You’re overthinking it. Mom and I have always told you, haven’t we?” said Li Lili, who was standing to the side.

Then, after Li Lili finished speaking, she immediately smiled at Shen Ninglu and then didn't say anything more.

However, at that moment, Shen Ninglu quickly said, "Oh, okay, I hope I'm overthinking it. I really don't want you and Mom to be hiding anything from me."

“Well, you’re really overthinking it. Nothing’s wrong in our family. What could we possibly be hiding from you? Besides, you and Mom live together every day. I’d rather you two were hiding something from me. Hahaha.” Li Lili quickly chimed in at this moment.

Then Shen Ninglu couldn't help but laugh, and then said to Li Lili, "Alright, now let me gossip a bit more. Tell me what happened today, what went wrong?"

"Today? What could possibly happen? Nothing's wrong," Li Lili quickly said upon seeing this. However, Li Lili was not good at lying, and she couldn't bear to look at Shen Ninglu's eyes as she spoke.

Of course, Shen Ninglu and Li Lili are sisters, so Shen Ninglu naturally knows Li Lili very well. She immediately noticed Li Lili's evasive gaze...

"Sis, don't you know you're really bad at lying? Okay, okay, tell me what happened, what's going on?" Just then, Shen Ninglu started pressing for answers again.

Then, Li Lili, who was standing next to me, suddenly asked with a smile, "Where did all those grand principles you just told me go? How come you don't remember any of them now? That's not what you said just now. You're so funny, you change your mind faster than flipping through a book. I'm really impressed."

"Hey, isn't this all because of you? You're still telling me all this nonsense. Tell me what happened so I can analyze it for you," Shen Ninglu said seriously to Li Lili.

Then Li Lili paused for a moment, and then looked at Shen Ninglu with a serious expression and said, "I have a question for you. Is my temper really that bad right now?"

"Yes, sis, haven't you realized it yet? You're completely the opposite of who you were before." Shen Ninglu nodded vigorously after hearing this, and then said with surprise.

Chapter 638 Gossip for a Moment 2

After hearing what Shen Ninglu said, Li Lili hesitated for a moment, then nodded without saying anything more, which probably meant she agreed with Li Lili's words even more.

"Yes, you're right. I've actually felt it myself. My temper has definitely gotten much worse lately," Li Lili suddenly said at this moment.

"What happened?" Shen Ninglu asked Li Lili.

Then, Li Lili shook her head in great pain, a gesture that made Shen Ninglu feel very sorry for her. Li Lili didn't say anything more after that, and Shen Ninglu naturally figured out why.

"It's all in the past, things will get better and better." Shen Ninglu said, patting Li Lili's shoulder.

Then Li Lili took a long breath and immediately said, "Okay, I'm fine."

Seeing this, Shen Ninglu quickly nodded in agreement.

"Mom." After Chen Ling and Shen's mother sat down, Chen Ling called out to them.

"Hmm, what do you want to tell me? Is there something wrong?" Mrs. Shen asked Chen Ling hurriedly.

Ms. Shen was worried that Chen Ling might say something unpleasant to her, which made her feel a little flustered.

"Yes, Mom, I just wanted to tell you that Ningxue has become a bit irritable lately," Chen Ling said with a smile.

Then, Shen's mother nodded quickly and said immediately, "Yes, I noticed it today too. But as I told you before, he might be in a bad mood. So, just be accommodating to him and don't let him do anything bad. Just keep an eye on him and spend time with him."

"Yes, yes, I know that, don't worry. I'm not telling you all this today to say anything bad about Ningxue, I just wanted to ask if you have any ideas on how to make Ningxue a little happier. I'm really worried about Ningxue because she's so irritable right now." Chen Ling quickly explained to Shen's mother.

"Then why don't you go with her to clear her head?" Mrs. Shen replied directly.

"Yeah, I hadn't thought of that either. She was planning to visit the orphanage, and I wanted to go too, but I can't. I've been really busy at work lately. I took on a new project that I personally approved, so I really can't leave for the time being. More importantly, things haven't been going well at work lately, and we're just waiting for this project to turn things around," Chen Ling said with a hint of helplessness.

However, at that moment, Shen's mother hurriedly asked, "Huh? What's going on at the company? Is everything alright?"

"Yes, don't worry about that. The company will definitely be able to handle it. However, I'll be quite busy for a while and really can't get away," Chen Ling said with a smile, looking at Shen's mother.

Then I saw Mrs. Shen nod, and I felt a little relieved.

Then, Shen's mother spoke up, "What do you think we should do? I don't have any good suggestions. We've all seen Ningxue's current state; she's become a bit irritable. I'm just worried that if she continues like this, you'll have a hard time and won't be able to accept her bad temper."

"Mom, don't worry about that, it won't happen. I love Ningxue very much," Chen Ling said quickly after hearing this.

“Yes, Mom knows you love her very much now, but love can fade away over time, sigh. It hurts me to see you like this,” Shen’s mother said immediately after hearing this.

Then I saw Mrs. Shen sighing and lowering her head to think about something again.

However, at that moment, Chen Ling said, "It's okay, Mom, don't worry about these things. It's alright, leave it to me, I'll think of a solution."

"Chen Ling, you've really worked so hard." Mrs. Shen said earnestly as she looked at Chen Ling.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling immediately shook his head and said, "This is what I should do. It's not hard work, it's alright."

"Okay, that's good. You're willing to treat Ningxue well, which is really her good fortune. I often think about what would happen if Ningxue weren't with you. I'm afraid Ningxue wouldn't be as happy now." Shen's mother said with a smile as she looked at Chen Ling.

Then Chen Ling heard this and immediately laughed, then quickly said, "Mom, you're overthinking it. Ningxue is such a good person. Even if she's not with me, the person she's with will definitely be just as good. They'll love Ningxue just like I do now, or even better than me at taking care of her. Besides, I'm the one with Ningxue now, so you don't need to think so much."

"Yes, Mom, it's just that as people get older, they start to overthink things. But it's okay, you don't need to worry about me. Just get along well with Ningxue." Mrs. Shen said to Chen Ling with a smile.

"Okay, Mom, I understand." Chen Ling quickly agreed after hearing this.

Then I saw Shen's mother thinking to herself, "I'm so happy for Li Lili right now..."

Just as Shen's mother was thinking about this, she saw Li Lili and Shen Ninglu walking over hand in hand.

Then, Mrs. Shen immediately looked at them and said, "What were you two whispering about over there? Why did it take you so long to come over?"

"Well, it's because I saw you and your brother-in-law were so engrossed in your conversation that I didn't dare to come over and disturb you. I only dared to come over when I saw you were done talking," Shen Ninglu said from the side.

"Haha, you really know how to talk! Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Come sit down and rest for a while." After hearing this, Mrs. Shen laughed first, and then patted the sofa next to her and began to speak.

Then Li Lili and Shen Ninglu walked over and sat down on the sofa. Li Lili then asked, "What were you two talking about just now? Why were you so serious?"

"We're just chatting casually, what else could we possibly talk about? It's nothing," Mrs. Shen immediately said after hearing this.

Then Chen Ling nodded as well.

Chapter 639 Gossip for a Moment 3

Chen Ling nodded, confirming that he hadn't talked to Shen's mother about anything, and then smiled at Li Lili beside him, as if to know if Li Lili had any more questions for them.

"Oh, okay, we saw you two were so engrossed in your conversation that we didn't want to bother you," Li Lili said with a smile.

Then, Shen's mother immediately shook her head and said with a smile, "No, no, you weren't afraid of disturbing our conversation. You two were just too engrossed in your conversation to come over."

"Alright, alright, is it that important? Look how many times we've said this before. Since that's the case, let's all stop gossiping and stop asking about these things." Shen Ninglu spoke up like a little adult at this moment.

Then, Li Lili nodded in agreement immediately after hearing this, and then said, "Okay, okay."

At this moment, Mrs. Shen, who was standing to the side, quickly spoke up again: "By the way, I have a question for you. What kind of partner do you think we should find for Ninglu? I've been thinking about this for a while, but I don't know what kind of person would be suitable."

"Mom, please stop thinking about it. I've told you, I'm not looking for a boyfriend." Shen Ninglu said seriously to her mother immediately after hearing this.

"Don't say that! A girl of a certain age shouldn't not look for a boyfriend. Is that okay? You can't just say things like that." Seeing this, Mrs. Shen immediately spoke up seriously.

However, at that moment, Shen Ninglu was seen clutching her head in great pain, and then she hurriedly said, "No!"

"Alright, alright, what do you mean by 'don't want'? Your opinion doesn't count. Since ancient times, marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers. You'd better bring someone back for me yourself, or don't blame me for arranging blind dates for you." Shen's mother said calmly, looking at Shen Ninglu's expression.

Shen's mother is now quite used to Shen Ning's reactions. Whenever she brings up this matter, Shen Ning always has a look of utter despair and pain, which leaves Shen's mother feeling helpless and unable to do anything about Shen Ning. However, Shen's mother is now very certain that she can no longer give in to Li Lili.

Just then, Shen Ninglu smiled and said, "Oh, okay, okay."

"Chen Ling, if you find someone suitable, please think of Ninglu for her," Shen's mother said, turning to Chen Ling again.

"Okay, Mom, I'll keep that in mind. I'll tell Ninglu when a suitable one comes along," Chen Ling quickly agreed.

Then I saw Mrs. Shen nod, and then she didn't say anything more.

"Mom, who else are you going to introduce Ninglu to?" Li Lili asked, trying to gauge Shen Ninglu's mother's reaction.

"Well, we should probably go to a marriage agency. You know, we haven't been in touch with our relatives for a long time, and even if we have, none of them are really suitable. Sigh, let's not talk about it anymore. I'll just leave it at that and go to the marriage agency another day to see if there are any suitable matches," said Mrs. Shen with a troubled expression.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ninglu immediately said, "Mom, please don't! This is so embarrassing! Please don't go!"

“I don’t have to go, but you can bring one back for me. If you can bring one back, I won’t go, and it will save me so much trouble. Don’t you think so?” Mrs. Shen said to Li Lili very seriously.

"Yes, Mom, you're right, but I don't know how to explain it to you. Anyway, the gist is that these kinds of things are something you can't force, you understand? There's no use in us being so anxious, we still have to take it slowly." Li Lili quickly changed tactics and began to coax Shen's mother.

Then, Shen's mother smiled and said, "Hmm, I think what you said makes sense. These things can't be rushed. But what's scary is that you're not in a hurry at all. Let me tell you, stop trying to persuade me. My attitude is very clear: either you bring a partner home yourself, or you start going on blind dates."

"Sister, look at Mom." Seeing her mother's serious expression, Shen Ninglu knew that her mother was serious this time, so she immediately shifted her attention to Li Lili, hoping that Li Lili could help her divert her mother's attention.

However, things didn't seem to be as simple as Shen Ninglu thought; Li Lili appeared to be on Shen's mother's side...

“Ninglu, you’re still young and may not understand how your mother feels, but let me tell you, your mother’s thinking is correct, and I agree with it. You can start to try to accept some of the opposite sex around you, and you can also try blind dates and meeting people of the opposite sex. It doesn’t mean you have to be together, but first you have to have this idea. You can’t resist these things, right?” Li Lili looked at Shen Ninglu and said in a very gentle tone.

Li Lili's thoughts were actually the same as Shen's mother's; they were both very afraid that Shen Ninglu would be left with many shadows because of what happened before.

"Sister, but I really don't have those thoughts right now," Shen Ninglu said helplessly.

"So, I'm telling you, if I let you meet some members of the opposite sex, maybe after you see them, you'll start having those kinds of thoughts? Right? How can you say for sure these days?" Li Lili said to Shen Ninglu with a smile.
