Shen Mianmian brought Gao Changchun and Lu Yun to her residence.
It was Gao Changchun’s first time in such a nice place. Her eyes went wide as she walked around the house in amazement. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
She couldn’t stop praising how wonderful it was.
The moment Lu Yun entered the complex, he had already been surprised inside.
"This girl really isn’t simple. A country child, yet she’s able to live in such a nice house."
Xiaocui poured water for the three of them and then dared not make a sound. She didn’t recognize Lu Yun, but judging by his looks, she guessed his identity. From the expression on Lu Yun’s face, it was clear he had come with ill intent.
But since Shen Mianmian didn’t speak up, Xiaocui didn’t dare to either. She just sat quietly beside Shen Mianmian.
"Auntie Lu, is there something you came to talk to me about?" Shen Mianmian took the initiative to start the conversation.
However, Lu Yun didn’t go along with her question but instead asked about what puzzled him, "Is this house rented by you?"
Without waiting for Shen Mianmian to answer, she continued, "As far as I know, your adoptive parents are farmers, and you’ve severed your relationship with them, right? Even if you haven’t, you couldn’t afford to rent this place, could you?"
She indeed came to pick a quarrel.
Even the fact that Lu Siyuan and she were business partners was unknown to Lu Yun; otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked such a question.
It seemed that the mother and son’s meeting wasn’t pleasant, and the flames of war had reached her.
Shen Mianmian had always known that, aside from being good friends with Lu Siyuan, they were also business partners—essentially a relationship of interests.
She didn’t owe Lu Siyuan anything, so she wouldn’t tolerate humiliation just because Lu Yun was related to Siyuan.
If Lu Yun was polite to her, she would treat her warmly. If Lu Yun was looking for trouble, she wasn’t afraid and didn’t worry about offending anyone.
"Auntie Lu, these are my personal affairs. Since Siyuan hasn’t told you, he might have his reasons, and I won’t explain further. Please do tell me the purpose of your visit! I am all ears."
She hadn’t expected Shen Mianmian to talk to her this way.
She was a bit angry, feeling that Shen Mianmian was disrespectful to her elder.
So she said, "It seems I wasn’t wrong about you. My concerns were justified; Siyuan really isn’t suitable for being around you."
With just a few simple sentences, she clarified her view of Shen Mianmian and the purpose of her visit.
Shen Mianmian wasn’t angry either. She directly said, "So, you’ve come here to tell me to keep my distance from your son?"
"No, not just to keep distance," Lu Yun said bluntly. "I hope you can completely cut off contact with Siyuan. From now on, stop all interaction, as if you don’t know each other at all. I’m already arranging the transfer procedures for his school; I want to take him to Beijing for a better education."
Shen Mianmian raised an eyebrow and asked, "If he agrees, then you can just take him with you. Why make a point of telling me this?"
No wonder this guy has been off all day. It seems he’s struggling!
Torn between not wanting to leave his parents and Beijing School on one hand, and the business on the other.
Sigh! This silly child, might as well tell her directly—she can send him money every month for the business here, even if he’s not involved.
She’ll keep the bills, and he can check the accounts whenever he has time.
"I don’t know what kind of spell you’ve cast on him; he’s unwilling to transfer schools," Lu Yun stated directly.
So Lu Yun had misunderstood, no wonder she came looking for her. Shen Mianmian smiled, "Auntie Lu, I think you’ve misunderstood. Siyuan’s reluctance to leave isn’t because of me; there are other reasons. You can have a good talk with him."
