Chapter 237 Just Strangers

The lady looked at Li Shengxia and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be married at such a young age, let's go on honeymoon together, I'm so happy, then you take these two invitation cards."

"Thank you." Li Shengxia did not continue to refuse.

"I should thank you, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with this sudden accident." The lady looked down at the place where the petals were sewn on her dress, and smiled knowingly.

When Li Shengxia came out of the bathroom, he saw a girl surrounding Mo Nianchen and asked, "Handsome guy, how much is this? Handsome guy? What are you talking about? Are you selling it or not?"

When Mo Nianchen saw Li Shengxia coming out and then the lady who came out, his expression froze...

He stuffed the tampons into the girl, and grabbed Li Shengxia to leave.

However, the lady who came out from behind Li Shengxia stopped him in surprise, "Achen..."

Mo Nianchen's back suddenly stiffened, Li Shengxia turned around and looked at the lady, apparently not expecting that they knew each other.

The lady looked at Mo Nianchen, then at Li Shengxia, as if she understood something, "I really didn't expect that the husband this lady is talking about is you. You seem to be doing well."

Mo Nianchen immediately responded indifferently: "Don't worry about your mother, you have a lot of affairs in your day, so go and do your work, there's nothing else, we'll go first."

Mother?Li Shengxia was taken aback. This lady was Mo Nianchen's mother?
Li Shengxia suddenly felt embarrassed, "Auntie, I..."

Mo Nianchen didn't want to stay here anymore, he called her name coldly and urged her to leave quickly. "Li Shengxia!"

"Li Shengxia?" Mother Mo couldn't help being startled when she heard this name, she looked at Li Shengxia, and finally understood where she had felt the familiar feeling just now, and blurted out, "Your surname is Li? Could it be that you are Li Wenhou's daughter? "

Li Shengxia nodded, "It's me."

She knew before that the relationship between the Mo family and the Li family was very good, so they lived next door, so it was not surprising that Mo's mother knew her father.

Mother Mo continued: "Your father and my husband are good friends. We used to live next door, but we were away from home all the year round, and we had less contact. How is your father now?"

When Li Shengxia heard her mention her father, she froze for a moment. It seemed that she didn't know about his serious illness.

At the same time, Mo Nianchen's voice suddenly sounded: "Mother, this is her family business, I think you don't have to worry about it."

A look of disappointment flashed across Mother Mo's eyes, but she never showed it. She just said the last sentence, "Sheng Xia, remember to come. I'm in a hurry, so I'm leaving first. Ah Chen, take good care of Sheng Xia."

Li Shengxia nodded.

Mother Mo turned and left.

Mo Nianchen never said a word.

Seeing Mo's mother leave, Li Shengxia looked at Mo Nianchen again, and seemed to see inexplicable emotions surging in his eyes.

She knew that Mo Nianchen's parents left him alone in City Y in the past. They lived far away, and it's normal for them to be estranged. But she felt that his parents really wanted to get close to him, but they didn't know how to get close to him. That's all.

"What are you still doing in a daze, let's go." Seeing Li Shengxia staring at him for a while, Mo Nianchen said something coldly.

Bad temper.

Li Shengxia stuck out her tongue, "But I just promised her to attend tonight's banquet, even the invitation card."

"There's a trash can next to it."

"However, these two invitation cards are the 'remuneration' I got for helping her embroider flowers on the dress. It would be too wasteful to throw them away."

It turned out that she hadn't come out of the bathroom for a long time, was she embroidering on her mother's dress?

Mo Nianchen couldn't comprehend the scene at that time, "Why didn't I know that you are so easy to get acquainted with others?"

"Isn't she your mother? Maybe it's because there is a shadow of you in the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, so I feel very kind."

"...I don't think so at all." Mo Nianchen said coldly.

"Hey..." She poked his arm with her finger, "If you really don't like it, then... I'd better throw it away..."

"Forget it." Mo Nianchen said: "Since you bought the 'technology', you can't deprive you of enjoying the fruits of your labor."

"So you agree?"

"I can't let my wife become a person who breaks her promise."

"I knew you were the best for me." A cunning flashed across Li Shengxia's eyes.

He reached out and rubbed her hair, and his mood seemed to improve a little bit. He raised his lips and said two words, "Idiot."

Li Shengxia felt that, anyway, this was the first time she met Mother Mo, and she had to prepare a gift for her no matter what, so she started looking for gifts in nearby shops.

"This one seems too common, uh... this one doesn't seem suitable as a meeting gift, um, this one..."

"Li Shengxia, why do you care so much about her?"

"Because my mother left home very early, I envy other people who have mothers." Li Shengxia looked at him, "You don't know how much I envy you."

But now, his mother is also hers...

"You are so stupid, not all mothers are good, there is nothing to envy."

"I believe that all mothers treat their children sincerely and do their best to give him the best."

Mo Nianchen's expression froze for a moment, and he said coldly, "It must be someone else's mother."

"Why do you have such a big opinion of her?"

"A parent who hasn't even attended their son's birthday, do you think they care about him? Even if they are busy, why not call and say hello? It never happened... It's almost as if it doesn't exist. Any excuses are superfluous. "

Li Shengxia didn't understand why Mo Nianchen's mother didn't even attend his birthday party, but judging from the quick impression just now, his mother must be very concerned about him.

In her impression, Mo Nianchen's mother was also very elegant and generous...

Mo Nianchen said coldly: "My parents have no interest in creation. They prefer to do business, they only like money, and they have nothing in common with me. They think that money can have everything. Of course, thanks to them, Mohist Only then will there be today.”

His tone didn't sound like he was 'praising' them at all.

Li Shengxia tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Achen..."

Mo Nianchen's tone was a little flatter, "When I was 20 years old, they only wanted to take me to them. I thought my life would be different because of this, but in the end, they just wanted to train me to be another One of them. No matter how well I do, what they care about is that I will never be unhappy. They only ask me to complete the tasks they give me, and for this, they don't even care about my /private/life .”

"So I went back to City Y, because I know that no matter how close we are to them, we will always be just strangers."
