Chapter 200: If I were not smart, 200

As Shi Qianxi started the car, she asked.

"To the hotel."

Meng Meiling took off her sunglasses.

To those women from the Prestigious and Influential Families, time indeed seemed more gracious. Just by her appearance, you couldn’t tell that she was already in her forties. To the uninformed observer, seeing them together might even lead them to mistake the mother and daughter for sisters.

Shi Qianxi hesitated, but did not object.

"Then let’s go to the Hilton, I stay there often."

Meng Meiling agreed.

The Aston Martin left the airport.

"It seems Mom was needlessly worried."

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Shi Qianxi was puzzled.

"Mom heard that your dad and the Sun Family are arranging your marriage with Xi Yu, and I was worried that with Xi Yu’s temperament, he might not be too fond of you."

"He never liked me in the first place."

Shi Qianxi muttered.

"Lying to Mom?"

Meng Meiling turned her head, with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"I’m not lying."

Shi Qianxi said while driving, "Mom, did he say something to you just now? That’s how he is. In front of you all, he likes to act like the good boy, hypocritical."

"What? You think that because Mom hasn’t been back for two years, you’ve grown capable of fooling your mother, is that it?"

Shi Qianxi couldn’t help but laugh, "Mom, when have I ever tried to fool you? What I’m saying is the truth."

"Although Mom hasn’t been in the country, I’m still very clear about your affairs. Weren’t you quite pleased with the marriage your dad arranged for you?"

Shi Qianxi was suddenly at a loss for words, her lips moved, and she murmured, "That was before."

"What do you mean?"

"It means... I don’t think I like him much anymore."

Miss Shi said calmly, "Before, I thought he was different from the other playboys from the East Sea families—gentlemanly, self-disciplined, cultured, but..."

"But what?"

"But, he’s not manly enough."

Meng Meiling was taken aback, then chuckled, and subconsciously looked up, glancing at the black object in the rearview mirror.

"I don’t see it that way."

Shi Qianxi couldn’t help but turn her head, feeling a bit baffled by her mom’s words.

"You were together this morning, right?"

Meng Meiling suddenly asked.

"Mhm."

Shi Qianxi nodded nonchalantly, "Yeah, he came to the hotel to find me."

"Then why did you two deliberately separate afterward?"

Meng Meiling spoke in a measured tone, "Qian Qian, Mom isn’t one of those feudal parents, and besides, you two are already engaged. There are some things I can understand."

The more Shi Qianxi listened, the more baffled she became.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I don’t understand? I went to have breakfast, so I didn’t come with him."

"Lying."

Meng Meiling said flatly, "I could smell your perfume on him, and besides, why do you leave your things all over the place?"

The scent of perfume was normal since she had a habit of spraying perfume when changing clothes. Xi Yu, coming down the stairs with her, might inevitably catch the scent. But what had she carelessly left behind?

Before Shi Qianxi could speak, Meng Meiling softly said, "The stockings on the back seat, they’re yours, right?"

Shi Qianxi was startled; she took her eyes off the road and involuntarily glanced back.

Oh no!

Last night, or more accurately, early this morning, she had taken off her stockings in the car and then went straight to the elevator to her room, forgetting to dispose of them.

And those stockings were torn and tattered.

She finally understood the reason behind her mother’s unusual tone. Even for someone with Shi Qianxi’s personality, the moment was extremely embarrassing, and she didn’t know how to explain.

"Young people covet pleasure, and mom can understand that, but since you two aren’t married yet, some things should be restrained. Otherwise, if something serious happens, it would look bad for both families,"

Listening to her mother’s meaningful words, Shi Qianxi’s face turned red with shame, and she couldn’t help but defensively say, "Mom, what are you talking about? I haven’t done anything with him!"

"The evidence is right there, and you still want to lie?"

"That... that was torn by me!"

"Qian Qian, you’re grown up now. Mom’s not blaming you, just reminding you. The Sun Family and the Shi Family are both prestigious and influential families in East Sea. Being pregnant before marriage, although nobody would say anything openly, there would still be private discussions and jokes."

"Mom! It really wasn’t torn by him!"

Shi Qianxi’s tone uncontrollably escalated.

Miss Shi was a principled person and would never easily shift the blame onto someone else.

Meng Meiling frowned slightly.

Mother knows her daughter best.

Her daughter’s intense reaction made her sense something was off.

"It really wasn’t Xi Yu?"

"Mom, do you think someone with his character could do, do what you’re thinking of?"

Indeed.

Xi Yu was gentle and refined, the epitome of a scion among the wealthy, and even if he did steal forbidden fruit, he probably wouldn’t be this... violent.

The stockings were torn almost beyond recognition.

"Qian Qian, what exactly happened? You couldn’t possibly be..."

Meng Meiling’s expression turned serious.

"Mom, don’t ask anymore."

Shi Qianxi’s cheeks blushed with embarrassment.

"You better not make me find out on my own."

Although Miss Shi feared neither heaven nor earth, she wasn’t arrogant enough to think she could outwit her own mother, and awkwardly said, "Mom, can’t I have a little privacy?"

"Privacy is fine, but the problem is you’re now the Sun Family’s future daughter-in-law. If you cause any trouble, it’s not just about you."

Meng Meiling had not expected that upon returning to the country, her precious daughter would bring her such a big "surprise."

Even if she was open-minded, she couldn’t just laugh it off at this moment.

"What exactly is the matter?"

Mom was seldom this serious, but once she got serious, it meant there was no glossing over.

"Someone else tore it."

Shi Qianxi stuck out her tongue.

Someone else tore it.

Listen to that.

How casually she spoke.

"You..."

Meng Meiling glared.

"Mom, don’t be angry, I know my limits. Nothing happened, you can rest assured."

Shi Qianxi reassured her.

"The stockings are torn like that, and you’re telling me nothing happened?! Shi Qianxi, do you really think your mom has become senile?"

Meng Meiling exclaimed angrily.

"Mom, I’m telling the truth. I was even locked outside, and if I hadn’t been smart and asked the hotel for a key, I would have had to sleep on the couch all night!"

Meng Meiling was taken aback, then became even more irritated: "Didn’t you say nothing happened? How come you ended up sleeping together?!"

"It was just sleeping in the plain sense of the word!"

Shi Qianxi explained earnestly.

Looking at her daughter who didn’t seem to realize her mistake, Meng Meiling’s expression changed again and again, then she finally took a deep breath.

She couldn’t get angry.

Getting angry would only bring out more crow’s feet.

She really shouldn’t have come back.

"When did you two start this?"

She rubbed her temples.
