d.""Well, did you refuse it yourself, or did Wen Jian help you refuse it" Shu Tinglan said with a teasing tone.Zhuo Yu'an looked up at her, not knowing if she was angry or not.Lin Zhixuan, next to him..."I'll cook dinner and leave." He explained again, as if afraid she would be unhappy.

I wasn't trying to impress my mother, I genuinely thought that with her just being discharged from the hospital, and her cooking skills, she would probably only order takeout. But it felt wrong to have someone who just got out of the hospital eat takeout.

Okay, any more reasons are just because I care about her.

Shu Ma was delighted, watching him so carefully pleasing his daughter. Her heart bloomed with joy. Although all men are untrustworthy, if they're all untrustworthy, it's better to find one who is handsome and pleasant to the eye, and willing to care for you, than someone who is ugly and loves to make trouble.

"Don't leave, let's eat together. We made so much, there's no way we can finish it all."

Mom Shu warmly greeted.

Zuo Yu'an glanced at Shu Tinglan. She looked cold and aloof, but when she took out the bowls and chopsticks, she reluctantly brought out three sets without showing any intention of driving him away. It was really contradictory and awkward.

Zuo Yu'an smiled, his heart feeling warm. He took the bowl and chopsticks from her hand. This time, he truly humbled himself, running to cook for someone and even having to eat while watching their face. It was just like a lowly abused wife in ancient times.

But seeing her and her mother eat with relish, he felt it was worth it.

Shu Tinglan didn't know what she was being awkward about. She knew Zhu Yunan was good, but she felt a little inferior. A person like her, with a mother like her, could she deserve him It was a very realistic question.

After dinner, Shu Tinglan proactively offered to wash the dishes, but Zhuo YUAN refused as always.

“You stay with Aunt, I’ll go.”

The mother and daughter sat in the living room, staring at each other with wide eyes. Shu Ma's gaze shifted, her expression changing:

"Aren't you going to tell the truth" she pointed at Zhuo Yu'an in the kitchen.

"Let him do the housework if he wants to."

He's better than that bastard Shu Minghai, at least he knows how to treat people nicely.

"I have nothing to do with him." She said this with a hint of guilt. She still didn't dare admit it, for fear that if they couldn't be together, her mother would be disappointed.

"How could it be nothing Who would believe that" "If it was nothing, how could he be so familiar with the arrangement of her kitchen Those bottles and jars of spices, even Shu's mother would take a while to find them."

It is clear that this is not the first or second time.

"Did you sleep together" Shu Ma continued to be unexpectedly sharp. How could she deduce this now like Sherlock Holmes Back then, she was completely fooled by Shu Ming Hai and Wen Lan, not noticing anything at all.

She finished asking and suddenly got up, going to her bedroom to rummage through everything, turning the whole place upside down. All the clothes in the closet were tossed out, and she pulled open the drawers of the bedside table, flinging the contents one by one onto the floor.

The emotions came on too quickly, like a tornado.

Suddenly, a box of contraceptives fell out from the drawer.

Shu Ma stared at the box on the ground, her chest heaving, her face as dark and frightening as thunder. Shu Tinglan was also dumbfounded. Before, Zhuo Yu'an had bought quite a few of these, but she threw them all away when she tidied up his things. She never expected there to be one left behind.

Shu Ma suddenly lost control, picked up the box on the ground and smashed it towards Shu Tinglan, shouting as she did so.

"You're reckless, you're irresponsible."

She allows her daughter to date, but she strictly forbids premarital sex. What kind of good girl can she be if she sleeps with someone before marriage Once it's done, will a man still value you

Though Shu Tinglan didn't agree with his mother's older generation's ideas, he didn't argue back. He even let her beat him on the shoulders and back. It hurt a lot, but he didn't fight back or resist. His mother was sick and needed an outlet to vent her frustration.

The commotion here was too loud, Zhuo Yu'an ran over and saw her mother holding a box of condoms, beating her constantly. The girl looked stunned and didn't resist.

He strode over and pulled Shu Tinglan behind him, stopping her mother.

“Auntie, Auntie...calm down...”

When Shu Ma saw her, she became even angrier. She picked up a pen holder from the table and went to smash it at him. He dodged too late, and his forehead was hit with a gash, instantly bleeding. Though the blood wasn't much, Shu Ma was suddenly frightened into a daze. She froze for a moment, then came to her senses.

"Are you alright Are you okay The auntie didn't mean to, don't blame her."

Zuo Yu comforted her.

"It's okay, Auntie. Don't be nervous. Come, take a deep breath with me and relax...."

He didn't care at all about the wound on his forehead, nor did he find Shu Ma's madness repulsive. He was extremely patient, treating her like his own mother.

Shu Ma followed him, taking several deep breaths until finally she was calm, completely calm. Guilt surged up, and she kept apologizing, to him, and to her daughter.

Shu Tinglan felt a pang of sadness, both for her mother and for the embarrassment. She was exposing the worst parts of their lives to Zhuo Yuyan without reservation. She was acting erratically, her mother was acting erratically, and seeing the wound on his forehead, she couldn't control her emotions anymore and yelled at him.huo Yu'an and Lu Kuò were still there. Their car was parked next to hers, waiting for them.Shu Tinglan saw Zhuo Yuyan and her slightly downcast mood immediately brightened. She walked over and said, "...
