Cultivation Shura Field

Xu Guowei: "Anyway, it can fit in the shoe cabinet."

Zeng Jing: "This girl has really let us watch her grow up since she was a child."

Xu Guowei: "So what do you want to say?"

Zeng Jing: "I actually wanted to say it when we were eating just now, but Feifei is still here and can't open the door - do you think Xiaozhe and Feifei can make it work in the future?"

----

Xu Guowei smiled: "How do I know?"

Zeng Jing: "Then who do you think Xiaozhe likes?"

Zeng Jing: "No, my son is so popular. By the way, there is also that little girl named Shen Lan, but I haven't seen him for a while."

Xu Guowei: "You have never seen him, but your son has seen a lot. He is studying in Shanghai while working hard for his career, and most of that career is Xu Zhe's shares."

Zeng Jing: "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Zeng Jing: "Then which girl do you think your son likes the most?"

Xu Guowei: "I said there are quite a few people who like Xu Zhe."

Xu Guowei walked into the kitchen and muttered in a low voice: "They all like it, that's the problem..."

Xu Guowei: "Who knows?"

Zeng Jing put on her sneakers and walked out of the house slowly.

Zeng Jing suddenly said: "Anyway, I think Feifei and Xingye are both good girls, and they can go with either one. And they should both like Xiaozhe."

Xu Guowei stood up slowly and walked towards the kitchen.

Zeng Jing shook her head: "I don't think she is suitable. It's okay to be a friend or partner, but as a daughter-in-law, Feifei and Xingye are better behaved."

Zeng Jing: "I think guessing like this is what makes it interesting. Hey, why are you still sitting there? Go wash the dishes!"

Xu Guowei turned on the faucet and said, "Whether you like it or not depends on your son's opinion."

Xu Guowei said leisurely: "I'm not Yuelao, how could I know. If you are really curious, I will give you a tip. You can ask your son."

But when she walked out of the unit building and walked to the gate of the community, she inadvertently turned her head and saw an unexpected person, Shen Lan.

There are some sports equipment in the activity area of ​​this community, including horizontal bars, strollers and other facilities, as well as a swing, which is usually the first choice for children. There were no children in the activity area at this time, only Shen Lan was sitting on the swing alone.

She sat on the swing, but did not move it, just sat there quietly.

Zeng Jing would occasionally hear the name of Shen Lan from her son, but she rarely saw her. Compared to when she first met her a few years ago, Shen Lan now had a more elite female temperament, and she looked very handsome in her windbreaker. However, her delicate face looked a little lonely.

No need to ask, Zeng Jing can certainly guess why Shen Lan appears here.

Although her first impression was not very good, and she never wanted to consider Shen Lan when considering her daughter-in-law, Zeng Jing still couldn't bear it. She knew that with the help of her son, Shen Lan had become a real little rich woman, but now it seems... this girl seems to be a little lovelorn?

After hesitating for a long time, Zeng Jing walked towards the swing.

Shen Lan is in a daze.

Suddenly, a rather unfamiliar voice sounded in front of him:

"Is it Shen Lan?"

The girl raised her face and saw a middle-aged woman. Although she had only seen it a few times and hadn't seen it for several years, of course she recognized it immediately.

Shen Lan took out her hands from the pockets of her windbreaker, stood up and said, "Hello, aunt."

Zeng Jing nodded: "Hello, uh, are you waiting for Xu Zhe here?"

Shen Lan: "Yes, he seems to be very busy today. He didn't answer my call just now."

Zeng Jing suddenly felt a little guilty. My son drove back today, made dinner again, and went out to play with Feifei... There are so many things to do, isn't that busy? So, do you want to tell Shen Lan that your son and Feifei are out?

If you tell me, you'll feel like you're causing trouble for your son; if you don't tell him, you'll feel even more guilty.

Zeng Jing took out her phone and took a look. Looking at the time, it was already twenty minutes ago that Xu Zhe and Tang Lingfei went out together. Now the two young people are either at the girl's house or playing outside.

Shen Lan suddenly asked: "Isn't Xu Zhe at home?"

"Yes, he is not at home. He just went out not long ago. It seems that an old classmate has something to do with him."

Although she was not asked, Zeng Jing still gave an excuse for her son.

Shen Lan nodded and said cooperatively: "He hasn't been back for a long time. He's going to the Magic City again after the summer vacation. It's good to spend more time with old friends now."

Zeng Jing: "I remembered, you are also at Jiaotong University in Shanghai, right?"

Shen Lan smiled and said: "Yes, he will be my junior student as soon as he enters school."

Zeng Jing knew that Feifei had been admitted to Jiaotong University, and Song Xingye's first choice seemed to be Jiaotong University. If it came true... wouldn't it mean that Xu Zhe and these three girls were all in the same university?

Thinking of this, Zeng Jing couldn't help but sweat for her son. What on earth was this kid thinking? Isn’t that stressful? Or does this brat really enjoy having a group of pretty girls around him?

Zeng Jing added, "How about you go back first? The main reason is that I don't know when Xu Zhe will come back. I shouldn't be able to find him if I call."

Shen Lan shook her head: "It doesn't matter, I don't have anything urgent to do to find him. It doesn't matter where I am in a daze, it's fine here too."

Seeing this, Zeng Jing really had no reason to persuade the girl to leave. She could only change the topic and ask: "How are you doing recently? You have to work and go to school, are you tired?"

"It's true that I'm a little tired..." Shen Lan sighed, "And the work is not going well. Maybe it's because the helmsman is not here. I don't have the confidence to make decisions alone."

Of course Zeng Jing knew that the 'helmsman' in this girl's mouth was Xu Zhe. And judging from this tone, I’m afraid it’s not just work that’s not going well, right?

She suddenly couldn't bear it anymore.

She was such a proud and individual girl, but her son seemed to have lost her backbone. What a sin, what a sin!

Chapter 406 Do You Want to Come to My House? (Supplement)

After starting the conversation with Zeng Jing, Shen Lan quickly came up with a strategy.

She knew that this aunt didn't like her very much, and they only maintained superficial politeness during the few times they met. She didn't care about it before, after all, isn't love a matter between two people?

But Shen Lan's ideas now are very different from those of the past.

She realized that the parents of her beloved should not just be a distraction to her relationship. If they don't like her, she should try to change their impression, at least to keep them neutral and not help the two little rivals. Otherwise, the difficulty of this Shura game would be hard to estimate.

So what should be done?

Looking back, Shen Lan knew that the impression she left on others was that of a strong person. She also knew that she was indeed such a person. But in this case, would showing weakness now have any effect?

If it was before, especially before she met Xu Zhe, if someone told Shen Lan that she was deliberately pretending to be weak and pitiful, she would just sneer. But now, she actually seriously considered the feasibility of this strategy.

But Shen Lan had no experience in pretending to be pitiful. She tried to soften her expression, but in Zeng Jing's eyes, it was just like fatigue from overwork.

As an architectural designer, Zeng Jingke is very familiar with the feeling of fatigue. So she said, "When Xu Zhe is not here, aren't you the boss in your company? No one can control you anyway, so just give yourself a vacation and rest."

Shen Lan sighed, "No, this is not my company alone. It is the result of the hard work of Xu Zhe and me. And I also have something I want to prove."

Zeng Jing: "What do you want to prove?"

As he thought about it, Zeng Jing couldn't help but look worried.

"Even if...even if there are other girls who can play with him, I am the only one who can really keep up with him."

She found that considering Shen Lan who had never given up, her son's emotional situation seemed more complicated than she had imagined. And it was not just an emotional issue. You have to know that Shen Lan was in charge of a game company and was constantly generating revenue for Xu Zhe. So in the emotional line, there was also an important career line entangled.

What's even more terrifying is that at this moment, Shen Lan asked again: "Actually, wasn't Xu Zhe called out by his old classmates to play today? No, if Tang Lingfei can be considered an old classmate, then that's not wrong."

Shen Lan asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

As a working person with many years of experience, Zeng Jing would not think about things like a little girl. She had heard a lot of stories about loving couples turning against each other, and she had also seen such stories in real life. So, is it possible that this will happen to her son and Shen Lan in the future?

If they have a falling out after this, wouldn't that be a serious business dispute?

Recalling the moment at the dinner table not long ago when Feifei stared at her son's shy and timid look, Zeng Jing felt more and more dangerous.

Zeng Jing forced a smile: "Nothing, nothing..."

After a brief pause, Shen Lan whispered, "Anyway, all I can do is to do the job at hand well..."

Shen Lan smiled and said, "It's okay, Auntie. I can guess that it was Tang Lingfei who asked him out."

Zeng Jing: "No, this, uh..."

But Zeng Jing fell into deep thought.

Zeng Jing felt a headache for her son.

Zeng Jing was stunned: "Ah?"

Shen Lan's voice became softer, because saying such things inevitably made her feel a little embarrassed.

Shen Lan looked at her aunt, who was in a panic but didn't know how to explain, and smiled. But the girl quickly stopped smiling and said seriously, "Don't worry, I won't care too much about these things, and I won't force Xu Zhe to do anything. I've already said it before, I just want to prove that I can keep up with him, whether as a partner or in some other capacity."

Zeng Jing was silent. Since she realized that no excuses could deceive people, why bother to argue anymore?

At this time, the effect that the girl wanted to perform finally came out. Zeng Jing suddenly realized that this always strong and confident smart girl, could it be that she has become a loser in love?

"Does this look good?"

Tang Lingfei tied her hair into two ponytails, turned around and looked at Xu Zhe, and asked with a smile.

At this time, the two came to a store that specialized in selling small accessories for girls. This store was probably opened only in the past two years, so although it was located on the road they had to pass by when going to and from school, they had never seen it before. Today, when they were walking around the area, they saw it.

Xu Zhe: "It's pretty, but when did I tell you that I like twin tails?"

Tang Lingfei: "Don't you like it?"

Xu Zhe: “It’s not that I don’t like it…”

Now, whenever he mentioned twin ponytails, especially in front of this girl, he couldn't help but think of her 'black silk twin ponytails' outfit with pantyhose over her head.

Tang Lingfei gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, I'm going to erase the memory of my previous embarrassment!"

Xu Zhe: "Does that count as embarrassing? I thought you were being funny on purpose."

"I originally thought it would be better to relax for a while, but who knew you would laugh like that..." Tang Lingfei knew that there were other people in the store, so she couldn't say many things carelessly, so she could only speak in a more obscure way, "Who knew you would laugh like that!"

Xu Zhe: “Because it’s really funny.”

Tang Lingfei pointed at herself and said, "Now, is it still funny?"

Xu Zhe looked at it carefully again.

The girl in front of him was not wearing any makeup, and her clothes were the same as usual, except that her hair style was changed to twin ponytails. But her pure and innocent girl-next-door temperament was impeccable. Especially her big eyes that were staring at him, revealing the innocence of a young girl.

When I think about her behavior in my bedroom not long ago, the contrast is even stronger.

He couldn't help but murmur, "Pure and yet astringent, is this what youth is..."

Tang Lingfei: “?”

Xu Zhe took a deep breath and bent down slightly.

Tang Lingfei looked confused: "Why are you bowing to me?"

Xu Zhe whispered, "This is not a bow, this is... Come closer and I'll tell you."

Tang Lingfei took two steps closer curiously and put her little face in front of him.

Xu Zhe whispered in the girl's ear: "Sorry, I'm getting interested again."

Tang Lingfei was stunned: "You mean the interest... ah?!"

Xu Zhe: "Do you understand?"

Tang Lingfei: "I see. What should I do? That's right. My mom has to work overtime tonight and won't be home. My dad just went out, and you saw it. Do you want to come to my house tonight?"

Xu Zhe took a deep breath: "I just wanted to ask you to give me some time to calm down. But since you asked me so..."

Tang Lingfei: "Who is begging you?"

Chapter 407: Encounter at the Doorstep (Free for a limited time starting tomorrow)

When he returned to the community, Xu Zhe no longer needed to bend down to hide anything, but he felt even more itchy inside.
