Chapter 354 - 351: A Surprise Visit from Mom

Chapter 354: Chapter 351: A Surprise Visit from Mom

That evening, while Lu Shouyue was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window in his room enjoying the night view, he received a call from his mother.

The first thing Mother Lu, Ye Yinyin, asked was who was the girl wearing his clothes, and why didn’t he bring her home to meet them.

Lu Shouyue rubbed his forehead. The news was really too well-informed; it was mostly some of their friends living in the same community who tipped them off.

This was the first time he went downstairs to line up, and he got caught.

Ye Yinyin was very excited that her son, who had never shown interest in girls, finally had a romantic interest. She had recently become obsessed with reading Thai romance novels and was worried her son might be inclined differently!

After all, her son, who had met such high standards, remained chaste for nearly thirty years without ever being seen flirting with any girl, which was really abnormal!

How many daughters of her friends had actively pursued him back then? Ultimately, they all gave up, as they couldn’t win him over.

Ye Yinyin, who loved reading romance novels in her spare time, envisioned countless romantic scenarios and couldn’t accept that her own son would be so uninterested in girls. Yet, every time she tried to matchmake, he would avoid it in every way possible and never listened.

This time, a girl directly wore his T-shirt!

Why did Mother Lu instantly see something amiss after receiving her friend’s video clip?

Simple, the pattern on the T-shirt the girl was wearing was hand-drawn by Ye Yinyin, making it unique in the world. When she gave it to Lu Shouyue, she didn’t tell him about it.

When Lu Shouyue chose this T-shirt from many others at first glance, it showed mother and son truly had a connection.

For Ye Yinyin now, as long as her son likes women, brings them home, and behaves like a normal man, she’ll be very happy!

While family conditions can be adjusted, the gender must be strictly checked!

If one day, her son brought a boyfriend home, she imagined the scene and felt it might be too much for her heart to bear.

So, as soon as she got the news that her son was sheltering a girl, Ye Yinyin couldn’t hold back anymore. If it wasn’t for the current lockdown, she would really want to go to her son’s place and meet the mysterious lady immediately.

The video showed the person wearing a mask, so the face was unclear.

"Which hospital is she a doctor at? Is she a traditional doctor? How old is she? When will you give me a grandchild to hold?" Ye Yinyin fired off questions like a barrage.

Lu Shouyue said helplessly, "Mom, you’re overthinking it. We’re not at that stage yet!"

"Oh, come on, she’s already wearing your clothes, and you’re saying you’re not at that stage?"

"She just happened to be locked down at my place and didn’t have clothes, so she wore mine."

"Son, you’re not being honest. There are two clubs in the neighborhood; is there anything you can’t buy there? What a lame excuse."

Lu Shouyue sighed, "Alright, mother, you guessed everything right. Think however you like."

Suddenly, the voice of Mother Lu talking to Father Lu came from the other side: "Old Lu, your son is useless. The girl is quarantined with him, and he still hasn’t made a move."

Lu Shouyue: "..."

Did he say that? Is that what he meant?!

"Mom, I’m not talking to you anymore. I have things to do. Rest early, goodnight." Finishing his words, Lu Shouyue quickly hung up, feeling truly embarrassed!

Meanwhile, in the living room of the Western-style building, Ye Yinyin was still excited and shouted towards the study: "Old Lu, your son finally has a love interest!"

"Is it strange for someone his age?" Lu Xingjian was nonchalant.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, Ye Yinyin pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

After being locked down for half a month, freedom was finally regained.

At five in the morning, an excited Lin Wanwan woke up early.

After breakfast, she stood in the living room and stretched long. The time was almost six, and soon, she would have to leave.

However, she wasn’t returning to Yongcheng yet. Since she came, she naturally wanted to get some good stuff from her "senior" in Hai City.

Lu Shouyue changed his clothes, putting on his watch as he went downstairs, and said to Lin Wanwan, "How about I take you to buy some clothes first?"

Lin Wanwan nodded, "Sure, it’s indeed time for buying new clothes."

This oversized men’s T-shirt was fine for lounging at home, but definitely not for going out. Lin Wanwan was quite keen on image management!

Just as they were about to head out, the doorbell rang.

Curious, Lin Wanwan clutched her backpack, "Someone’s looking for you this early?"

𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Probably someone from the building."

Lu Shouyue was also puzzled, unable to think of anyone who would come at this hour. If it’s not the property manager, then perhaps a neighbor.

Because if it were a housekeeping team, they had keys to the maid’s room and could let themselves in; if it were a friend, the property would have contacted him first.

When he opened the door, he was dumbfounded—standing there were his mom and aunt!

Lin Wanwan saw Lu Shouyue frozen and curiously looked at the two women coming in at the door.

These two looked around forty, still full of charm and absolutely mature beauties. One of them even resembled Lu Shouyue a bit.

"Ah, this little girl is really pretty! Up so early, not many young people nowadays avoid sleeping in. Not bad, not bad!" One of the elegantly dressed beauties walked towards Lin Wanwan with a friendly smile.

Lin Wanwan was also stunned, "And you are?"

She already had a guess about their identity, most likely Lu Shouyue’s family. She just didn’t know if they were sisters.

At this moment, Lu Shouyue sighed and introduced, "Wanwan, this is my aunt, and this is my mom. Mom, Aunt, this is Lin Wanwan, Lin with two trees, and Wan from ’her beauty outshines all others.’

"Lin Wanwan, what a lovely name."

Aunt Lu praised, while the internally animated Ye Yinyin kept a smile from start to end, saying nothing.

A moment later, the four of them sat in the living room. Aunt Lu, outgoing as ever, sat on the same couch as Lin Wanwan, holding her hand warmly as they chatted.

Ye Yinyin held her teacup gracefully, observing from the side.

Lu Shouyue was having a headache; these elders’ surprise visit was utterly unexpected and off-script.

Ye Yinyin’s gaze shifted between Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue, her understanding of their relationship crystal clear.

Then she put down her teacup, removing an exquisitely crafted gold bracelet from her wrist, handing it to Lin Wanwan, and said, "Wanwan, since this is our first meeting, I didn’t prepare a gift. This bracelet is barely satisfactory. Your fair skin should make it look pretty.

Lin Wanwan quickly waved her hand, "No, no, Aunt, this is too valuable. I can’t accept it."

"A gift from an elder must not be refused." Ye Yinyin looked at Lu Shouyue, "Son, help Wanwan put it on. Don’t just stand there."

With no choice, Lu Shouyue took it. A trace of surprise flashed in Aunt Lu’s eyes.

This bracelet was crafted in the Qing Dynasty palace and was one of the Lu Family’s ancestral treasures, passed down to the newlywed Ye Yinyin by her mother-in-law.

Ye Yinyin had always been quite decisive, not caring about others’ opinions.

She smiled faintly at Lin Wanwan, "My son Shouyue has never been good at winning girls’ hearts, Wanwan. Don’t get frustrated if he lacks romance; he’s inexperienced.

"No, no, Aunt, you’ve got it wrong."
