Chapter 171: Indignance

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Mom!”

The hall was now suddenly silent because of the words of Cheng Zheng’s mom.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Cheng Zheng looked grim and reminded his mom in a softer tone. “This is a workplace!”

Cheng Zheng’s mom understood her son very well. When she saw him unhappy, she did not dare to continue this topic. However, as Xiang Wan had rejected to meet her, she made some unpleasant remarks.

“Fine, I won’t talk about it anymore. If she’s not Yuechun’s niece, I won’t even bother with her. Since she didn’t want to appear in front of me… such an attitude… It’s better not to meet too, it might dirty my eyes.”

Cheng Zheng: “…”

“Mom, you go back first. I’m busy right now.” Cheng Zheng understood that if he tried to clear up the misunderstanding, it would only make things worse.

Fearing that she would say something awful again, he chose not to argue with her. He only wanted to send her away fast and went up to hold her arm.

Nevertheless, now that Cheng Zheng’s mom was there at her son’s workplace, she wanted to spend some time with her son as they lived in different cities and could not see each other every day. “I just arrived here…” She looked at Cheng Zheng and frowned, looking a little downcast. “And you’re in such a hurry to chase Mom away?”

Cheng Zheng puffed a sigh. “I’ll accompany you for a walk outside then. The air in the office is stuffy…”

“Hmph! That’s more like it…” Cheng Zheng’s mom looked at her son with a smile.

Coincidentally, Xiang Wan appeared along the walkway, holding some food.

As Cheng Zheng’s mom was there, Xiang Wan would not be so stupid to deliver the breakfast to Cheng Zheng. Nevertheless, Cheng Zheng’s mom immediately spotted Xiang Wan.

In the entire office, there was only one woman, and that was Xiang Wan. She was young and pretty. Her age was exactly what Tan Yuechun had described to her. It was easy to identify her. Besides, women tend to have frighteningly powerful instincts. She did not require anyone to introduce and had already determined in her head that the young woman was Xiang Wan.

“She’s Xiang Wan?”

Cheng Zheng’s eyebrows were closely knitted when he heard his mom’s question.

“Let’s go, mom! We’ll go out for some sightseeing. Didn’t you say you didn’t get to take a good look at Jin City? I happen to have some time for you today…”

“Didn’t you say you’re busy right now?” When she saw that Cheng Zheng was stumped, she put on a pleasant expression and smiled. She swept a glance at Xiang Wan coldly while talking to her son. “You can go ahead to do your work. I’ll just hang out here for a while.”

“Everyone is working here. Why are you hanging out here for? Let’s go! We can talk outside. Don’t affect others…”

Cheng Zheng tried to pull her away one more time.

But it was evident that he was a filial child who was unable to handle his mom…

Hence, Cheng Zheng’s mom pushed away his hand and walked directly over to Xiang Wan’s desk.

“You are Xiang Wan, right?”

The voice was heard before the person arrived.

Xiang Wan was drinking the soybean milk and looked up at her in a daze.

“You are?”

After their gaze met for one second, Xiang Wan already knew who was the lady before her. But she had to pretend she knew nothing.

“Well…” Cheng Zheng’s mom seemed to give a snort. “I’m Cheng Zheng’s mom whom you refused to see as you are busy with your work.”

“…”

One of the socializing principles of the Chinese is never to embarrass someone thoroughly.

Even though Xiang Wan had refused to meet her earlier, it was not a grave matter. There was no need for her to be so sharp and cutting?

Xiang Wan looked at her piercing and dissatisfied gaze and knew that the lady before her was a domineering and wealthy lady. She was used to a life where she ordered people around and seldom encountered rejections. Therefore, even though this was a small matter, she would put up a fight to get back at Xiang Wan…

“Yes.” She might as well admit it directly as she maintained a polite smile. “I was busy with work earlier so I couldn’t come and greet you. Aunty, please excuse me for my behavior!”

She was polite.

That was considered a good attitude.

But Cheng Zheng’s mom did not like that.

She asked in an arrogant tone and looked at Xiang Wan coldly, “So, are you free now?”

What a difficult person! Xiang Wan felt her head starting to ache.

The lady before her was Cheng Zheng’s mom, she was also her Youngest Aunt’s friend, as well as Cheng Zheng’s mom.

“My apologies, I’m still caught up with work. But if there’s something urgent, you may tell me now.”

Xiang Wan was able to retaliate in a sharp way.

There were at least two key points in her sentence. The first key point was that it was still during working hours and she had work to attend to. The second key point was if there was nothing urgent, she would not be wasting time to attend to her…

Cheng Zheng’s mom gave a snort and stared at Xiang Wan. The smile lines on her face seemed to have deepened a lot.

“You are someone who knows to talk, but I really don’t like your attitude. Hence, I do not think well of your relationship with my son…”

What?! Xiang Wan instantly felt her face starting to burn.

For a moment, she felt the entire office looking at her.

It felt as though she was being placed on the grill unexpectedly.

“Mom!” Cheng Zheng walked in big strides to pull his mom away. “What are you doing?”

Cheng Zheng’s mom yanked her son’s hand away. She could somewhat feel the anger that her son was withholding inside him. “I’m not talking to you!” She gave Cheng Zheng a stern glare. “Do you have to shield her like this? Are you unhappy that your mom is in the way?”

“Mom!” Cheng Zheng’s scalp felt numb. He was so frustrated that his adam’s apple was bobbing in and out. “What exactly do you want?”

“You shut up!” Cheng Zheng’s mom grunted, “I’m talking to her.”

Xiang Wan did not know that Cheng Zheng’s mom had already “broadcasted” to the entire office about the blind date earlier. But after hearing the sentence—I do not think well of your relationship with my son—she couldn’t help feeling the flames of anger rushing to her throat. She was about to flare up.

“Aunty, did you misunderstand something?” She tilted her head, trying to suppress her anger, enunciating each word and syllable clearly to show her stance for this matter. “Captain Cheng and I are only colleagues.”

“Is it?” Cheng Zheng’s mom did not want to back down or let Xiang Wan off. “Your Youngest Aunt didn’t make you go on a blind date with him? You never thought of becoming the daughter-in-law of the Cheng Family?”

“…” D*rn!

What kind of person is she?

Just because Xiang Wan had rejected to meet her earlier, she had to embarrass her like this?

Xiang Wan suddenly felt a little sympathy for Cheng Zheng for having such a mother. At the same time, she was glad that she stood by her principles and made her decision not to choose him. If she really chose Cheng Zheng, that meant she would have to face this woman forever…

That thought immediately gave her a shudder.

Xiang Wan took a deep breath, and it was obvious that she was exasperated. Nevertheless, she still behaved politely and maintained the demeanor that a woman should have. She suppressed her anger and turned calmly to Cheng Zheng, giving him a chance to settle the problem amicably.

“Captain Cheng, what is happening?”

She was infuriated and directed the problem to him!

It was not convenient for her to offend his mom, but surely, he would be able to handle his own mom?

“I’m sorry! Teacher Xiang, my mom… has misunderstood something.”

Cheng Zheng’s expression was not much different from Xiang Wan. He seemed more at a loss than Xiang Wan when handling his mom. He apologized anxiously and tried to get his mom out of the office. “Mom, we’ll talk outside alright?” He tried to coax her. “You got the wrong person…”

“Hmph!” Cheng Zheng’s mom knew when to stop. Her purpose was to place Xiang Wan in a tight spot without totally offending her son.

Since Cheng Zheng took her arm and tried to get her to leave, she took another look at Xiang Wan unhappily and turned to leave.

Holy sh*t! Xiang Wan was almost roaring inside.

“Wait a moment!” Bai Muchuan’s cold voice came from the direction of his office. He had shouted something that she wanted to say.

Xiang Wan turned to the direction of the voice.

He was standing outside his office. The moment his cold gaze swept across the office, the entire office could feel a chill at their spine.

Everyone tensed up and quickly lowered their heads to do their work, treating themselves as air, as though nothing was happening.

Bai Muchuan suddenly laughed and walked over to Cheng Zheng’s mom slowly, looking at her without batting an eyelid.

“Aunty, you’re leaving already?”
