As she finished speaking, his mother continued, "You’re not still thinking about that Shangguan Xi, are you?"
Zuo Ling fell silent for a moment.
His mother slapped him on the back of his head, "You’re such a fool! Shangguan Xi is just a little village girl, how could she compare to Laibao?! If you married Shangguan Xi, our family might not even have a warm meal to eat!"
In summary, his mother was still very satisfied with Chen Laibao, after all, Chen Laibao was rich!
Zuo Ling sighed.
His mother went on, "Lingling, don’t talk about that kind of thing in the future. They say when you marry, you marry for clothes and food, but it’s the same when you take a wife. A girl with conditions like Laibao, there are countless people outside who are vying for her! It’s also because Laibao has good taste that she chose you! Come on, go shopping with mom and watch a movie; watching a movie will make you feel better."
Zuo Ling followed his mother out.
Coincidentally, just as they hit the street, they saw an acquaintance.
It was—
Shangguan Xi?
They saw Shangguan Xi coming out of the Mall carrying big and small bags and getting into a sedan car.
A sedan car!
His mother nudged Zuo Ling’s arm, "Is that person Shangguan Xi?"
Zuo Ling was stunned, "It seems like her."
"Whose car is that?" his mother asked curiously, wondering if Shangguan Xi had snagged a rich guy?
"I don’t know whose it is," Zuo Ling shook his head, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Shangguan Xi was still beautiful and confident and had even found herself a wealthy boyfriend.
And he had become a married man!
Before the mother and son could react, the car drove away.
His mother looked in the direction the car disappeared, her eyes filled with curiosity.
She was genuinely curious.
After all, Shangguan Xi almost became her future daughter-in-law.
Now that Shangguan Xi was riding in a sedan car, how could she not be curious?
She had no idea what Shangguan Xi’s boyfriend looked like.
But for sure, Shangguan Xi’s boyfriend couldn’t be as outstanding as Zuo Ling! Nor as good-looking as him!
Being able to drive a sedan car, maybe he’s some old, decrepit man!
Yes!
