âAuntie, itâs okay. I understand,â Ye Xiaomeng saw Mother He continually explaining and knew she was worried about misunderstanding, so she quickly reassured her.
âThatâs good,â Mother He sighed in relief.
She suddenly thought that she should tell Shanshan about He Ming having a girlfriend. First, He Ming was genuinely uninterested, and second, it wasnât necessary to delay the girlâs youth.
âMom, weâre going back. I have something to attend to,â He Ming bid farewell to his mother.
âOkay, be careful. Xiaomeng, come over more often. If Ming bullies you, let me know, â Mother He held Xiaomengâs hand and advised her.
âSure, thank you, Auntie,â Ye Xiaomeng smiled.
After He Ming and Xiaomeng left, Mother He looked at the time and found herself bored. So, she decided to call Xu Fang, Shanshanâs mother, and play mahjong.
Coincidentally, their usual mahjong friends were all available, so they arranged to meet.
âOf course, itâs great. Our Ming has a girlfriend now. I can finally put my worries to rest,â Mother He happily shared. She had initially tried to match Shanshan with He Ming, and now that he had a girlfriend, she wanted to inform Shanshan to avoid any hurt feelings.
Shanshan was a good kid, but He Ming didnât like her, and there was nothing she could do. Telling her in advance would prevent any harm, as they hadnât officially dated. Opening up now would be better for everyone, avoiding any strained relationships.
âWhat? He Ming has a girlfriend?â Shanshanâs mother asked in surprise, as just earlier, Mother He had said he didnât.
She liked He Ming a lot. He was excellent, and his family background was good. She had even met his mother. Everything seemed perfect.
She could tell that Shanshan also had feelings for He Ming. Rarely did she show interest in someone, and before, thinking He Ming was busy, she didnât expect him to suddenly have a girlfriend.
âYeah, she looks pretty good and has manners and etiquette,â Mother He praised.
âNowadays, most girls have vanity. Donât be surprised if sheâs only interested in He Mingâs wealth. You should pay attention,â Shanshanâs mother said with a sour tone.
âNo, I wonât be wrong about people. She is relatively simple.â Mother He felt a bit upset hearing Shanshanâs motherâs comments.
How disappointing. She hadnât even met the person, how could she make such careless remarks?
Seeing Mother Heâs displeasure, Shanshanâs mother dared not say more.
Back at home, Shanshanâs mother tossed her bag onto the sofa and sat down. Coincidentally, Shanshan was also at home.
âShanshan, Mom has something to tell you, â Shanshanâs mother motioned for her to come over.
âMom, whatâs the matter?â Shanshan felt a bit anxious seeing her motherâs serious expression.
âShanshan, from now on, go to Auntie Heâs house less. Your big brother He Ming already has a girlfriend,â Shanshanâs mother advised her.
âGirlfriend? How do you know, Mom?â Shanshan found it hard to believe. How could this happen so quickly, and theyâve already met the parents?
âToday while playing cards, Auntie He mentioned it. He Ming brought his girlfriend home for lunch, and they say sheâs not bad.â Shanshanâs mother felt a bit sorry for her daughter, but since there was no fate, there was no need to force it.
But Shanshan didnât think like that. As long as He Ming wasnât married, she believed there was still a chance.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDoes Auntie He like her a lot?â Shanshan wanted to gauge Auntie Heâs attitude.
âOf course, didnât you see her showing off? She wanted the whole world to know, â Shanshanâs mother exaggerated her tone, not wanting to give Shanshan false hope..
