Chapter 443: Chapter 444 Two Mysterious Women
Translator: Doggotranslation
We were only focused on chatting and didnât notice when my stepmother came over. After staying in the kitchen for too long, her forehead and nose were covered with small beads of sweat. I didnât know if she was really busy or she deliberately wanted to show that she was busy. Not only was she wearing an apron, but she was also carrying a large cooking spoon in her hand. When she showed that gentle smile that could melt people, I knew what she was thinking⊠If I dare to say that Mrs. Hou and I were made for each other, she would hit my face with that cooking spoon without any hesitationâŠ
âXiao Nan, who is this woman?â
My stepmother was absolutely saying this deliberately. Normally, in this kind of situation, she should call another woman: lady or sister, out of basic politeness. But she called her woman directly⊠What was she thinking?
My stepmother had definitely misunderstood it, but I did not expect that Mrs. Hou would misunderstand it even more, and it was even more ridiculous than my stepmother. She stood up in a hurry, and said nervously, trying to explain herself, âMiss, please donât misunderstand it. Xue Ziyuan was his classmate in elementary school. The two of them donât have that kind of relationship. Chu Nan you little brat, why donât you tell me that you came to this shop to see your girlfriend!â
âGirlfriend? !â I was taken aback. Pampered Girl and Xiaoyue who were not far away already burst out laughing.
âZiyuan? What happened to Ziyuan?â My stepmother took off her apron and gave it to me as if it was a matter of course. She then sat down next to me, and didnât intend to explain this ridiculous misunderstanding at all. Instead, she deliberately showed that she was very close to me.
I knew her too well, if she hadnât held it back, she would have already burst out laughing as well. What she enjoyed most was when others misunderstood her age!
âAh, Mrs. Hou, you have misunderstood our relationship,â I explained to Mrs. Hou, âIâm not interested in women of her age⊠Ow!â
The hand that my stepmother hid under the table pinched my thigh fiercely, and she said to me in a sweet voice: âWhat did you say?â
âI said you have worked hard, come, I will wipe your sweatâŠâ I held back my tears and wiped her face with the apron she had just given me.
âThatâs more like it,â my stepmother nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Mrs. Hou: âIâm so sorry, I didnât know that you were Xiao Nanâs teacher. My name is Murong Yuxuan. The owner of this restaurant. Please visit us often in the future, I will give you a 30% discount.â
My stepmother gave Mrs. Hou a discount, not because Mrs. Hou used to be my teacher, but because she mistakenly thought that my stepmother was very youngâŠ
Just when Mrs. Hou was about to thank my stepmother, she heard a regular customer jokingly say, âYo, lady boss, you are playing with your son again?â
âWhat? Can I not?â My stepmother draped her arm around my shoulder and said.
âAre you not afraid of your old Chu being jealous?â
My stepmother said with a chuckle: âI dare him.â
All the customers burst out laughing after hearing what my stepmother said. I also couldnât help but smile helplessly. My stepmother was both pretty and easy-going. There were often customers who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her. She also knew how to deal with them. Over time, the story of my family got around, and almost all returning customers knew that although my stepmother and I were not blood-related, we had a strong bond. And her biggest hobby as a mother was to act like a child in front of me.
Mrs. Hou was so shocked that she couldnât even close her mouth. She pointed at my stepmother and me and stammered: âYou, you two are⊠mother and son?â
I grew up in a single-parent family. This was something that Mrs. Hou, who used to be my teacher, knew clearly. However, my stepmother and Chu Yuan only became part of my family after I graduated from elementary school, so it was natural that she didnât know anything about it. I nodded embarrassingly, âYes. But we donât look like a mother and a son, right? Well, it canât be helped. I look much older than the people of my age, and she looks much more childish than the people of her age. So, we almost look like we are about the same ageâŠâ
Pampered Girl had just managed to stop herself from laughing behind the counter, but after hearing what I said, she couldnât help but hold her stomach laughing again.
âDo you want me to spank you,â my stepmother shook her large cooking spoon and said fiercely: âWho are you calling childish?â
âIf it is not childish, then what is it?â
âYou little brat! Are you coming here just to make me angry?â My stepmother pretended to be angry, but her eyes were full of smiles.
âNo. I came here especially to be your bodyguard to escort you home.â
âHuh! As if I would believe you.â My stepmother pouted her mouth and said, âHow many times have I called you already? But every time you either do not answer my call or hang up quickly.â
âMom, can you not be so corny? There are still people here.â I was not born with thick skin, I learned it from my stepmother, so whenever I faced her, I would feel that my skin was as thin as a dumpling skinâŠ
âIs it corny? Donât wait for me to invite you if you donât want me to be so corny, take the initiative and come and see me more frequently.â My stepmother finally became more serious and said to Mrs. Hou: âIâm sorry to let you see this.â
âItâs okay.â Mrs. Hou said gratifiedly: âThe relationship between you and your son is really good. Itâs really enviable.â
The reorganized family is like two different pieces of jade put together, with different experiences and scars. It is extremely difficult to combine harmoniously together.
âWhat did you talk about just now? Why did I hear you mention Xiao Zi? Is Xiao Zi back? â
I trembled in my heart. I didnât want to lie to my stepmother, nor did I want to give Ziyuan trouble, so I skipped her question, frowned, and asked: âMrs. Hou, you just said that two women once visited your home and asked you about my childhood. Who were they?â
âYou donât know them?â Mrs. Hou was confused: âChu Nan, are you dating a girl at the moment?â
Before I could respond, my stepmother said excitedly, âXiao Nan, you have a girlfriend now? Who is it!? ! â As if she was worried that I wouldnât tell her, she actually looked at Mrs. Hou, hoping to get an answer from her.
âI donât know.â Mrs. Houâs answer disappointed my stepmother. She waved her hands and said apologetically, âThe two girls only said that their younger sister was dating Chu Nan, but they heard that Chu Nan was a bad boy before, so they were a bit worried. They came to me to check if this information is trueâŠâ
Iâm indeed dating someone at the moment, and that person is Liusu. But Liusu does not have a sister at all!
âNonsense!â My stepmother became very defensive, âXiao Nan is a bad boy? If he is, then there will be no good boys in this world. He treats me better than others treat their biological mothers. His spoiled little sister often bullies him and makes things difficult for him, but he has never beaten her or scolded her. He spoils her even more than I do. Such a man is a bad man? Is she blind? Investigating him secretly? Xiao Nan, you need to dump that kind of woman! I donât care how good her condition is, she is just not good enough for you! â
I donât even know that woman, how can I dump her?
Mrs. Hou was also taken aback at how defensive my stepmother was, âDonât be angry, they didnât say it was the girl who asked them to investigate Chu Nan, maybe it was these two elder sisters who acted on their own accord, From their dresses, and the cars they drove, they should be girls from a wealthy family, so itâs normal that they can be a little bit waywardâŠâ
Mrs. Hou was talking to my stepmother, but her eyes kept staring at my face as if she was asking me whether the other party was a rich lady or not.
âWayward? Is this wayward? This is an insult!â My stepmother said angrily: âXiao Nan, I wonât rush you to get married, so you need to choose your girlfriend carefully. You need to find out more about her and donât be fooled by her!â
âThis conversation is getting further and further away from the original topic, and I donât have a girlfriend at the moment, let alone having a rich girlfriend!â In a hurry, I lied to them. This was the easiest way to block the mouths of two women, lest they would keep asking me questions.
âHuh?â As I expected, my stepmother and Mrs. Hou said in unison: âThen⊠Who are the two women?â
âI also want to know who they are and why they made up such lies, so I have to ask them clearly.â
Hearing what I said, Mrs. Houâs expression became serious.
That was two months ago. Two young women took my photos and used that absurd excuse to ask Mrs. Hou about my childhood, and only about my childhood, such as my grades and behavior. There were no strange questions so Mrs. Hou didnât think much at that time. After chatting, the topic turned to online games, which was a very popular topic nowadays. Only after seeing them out, did Mrs. Shu remember that they didnât leave their contact informationâŠ
Two months ago, my life was peaceful, and Liusu and I were still âbuddiesâ. I still loved Mo Fei unrequitedly. I hadnât even had any close contact with any girl.
So who are those two women?
