Chapter 97: Almost Became a Wild Man

  "What? Scared? Why would I be scared?"

  "Mom, I'm renting a house alone outside and all the clothes I wear in school are from street stalls. If I suddenly bring someone back home and let them see my life like this, what do you think they'll think?"

  "Well... I suppose so."

  "Mom, I think it's better if my life remains simple. If other classmates find out that I'm the only daughter of Shu Qihang and Zhou Weiyi, not only will my life be disrupted, but also my safety... You know what I mean, right?"

  "Alright, I understand. Fine, don't worry about it, do whatever you want. You're grown up now and should have your own thoughts. Mom won't interfere with you."

  "Thanks, Mom!"

  The hot pot has been served, and I'm sorting out my phone.

  Xie looked at the mother and son with a warm smile, then retreated to one side. The eldest daughter of the Shu family had grown up so much, she was really mature now, understanding many things. Those spoiled and stubborn behaviors from her childhood that were hard to accept had all disappeared, how wonderful!

  "Foolish child, why are you still being so polite to Mom? Come on, eat some more, look at how thin you've become, it's heartbreaking for me to see."

  "Where is it? You and Xie Bo have always said that I am thin, but I'm not thin at all!"

  "Never mind, mom said no use arguing with you, how long are you planning to stay at home this time?"

  "Yes, mom... probably after dinner, I'll be leaving! And I shouldn't eat too much, my friend is going to call me and invite me over for dinner."

  "Oh? Is that so? Are classmates more important or is mom more important? You kid, you see you, just came back for how long? Why do you want to leave so soon? Stay overnight tonight!"

  Zhou Weiwei's face flickered with some displeasure, this daughter, her own flesh and blood, was almost becoming a little savage, never returning home.

  "Mom, no way... wait, mom, I have a phone call!"

  The timely ringing of the phone rescued Shu Zi Yi, allowing the slightly awkward atmosphere between her and her mother to ease up a bit.
