Chapter 115: Chapter 115 You Just Want to Make Me Angry_1

"You child, why are you so stubborn! If they don’t care, why do you care so much!" Mrs. Cheng’s chest trembled with anger as she gasped for air and pointed at her forehead, "I think you just want to make me die of anger!"

"Mom, don’t be angry! Daughter really isn’t in the mood for romance." Mrs. Xia, fearing something might happen to her, quickly consoled her.

Aunt Lin, who was cooking, saw the two chatting and getting annoyed with each other, and hurriedly abandoned the pot to intervene: "Mom, calm down first. What will we do if you damage your health with your anger!"

"And sister, Mom is just worried about you; you should also try to understand her good intentions."

"But, Mom, don’t push sister too hard. Hao and sister haven’t seen each other for over a decade, let them get reacquainted first; we can take the matter of marriage slowly."

With Aunt Lin mediating, the mother and daughter were finally able to reconcile for the moment.

With three women in the kitchen, the meal was quickly prepared and served.

Since everyone was intent on playing matchmaker for Mrs. Xia and a man, the conversation gravitated towards the two.

Uncle Lin sipped his liquor and said with a smile, "The weather’s been good lately; in a couple days, Hao and Sister, how about we all go hiking?"

"I’m not available," Mrs. Xia replied without lifting her head.

Mrs. Cheng glared at her, "You’re practically running the place hands-free now; how can you not have time?"

She truly felt like she was going to be angered to death by this wretched girl; she was a mother herself, how could she not understand her own mother’s heart!

Finally, Mrs. Xia lifted her head with a helpless look and told the truth: "Mom, I’m not lying to you, I really don’t have time. In a few days, Bao’er and I are going to Capital City to buy a house, then we might play there for a couple days."

All right, she had to admit, even if she were free, she wouldn’t want to go out with him.

"Going to Capital City?" Xia Jiehao’s eyes brightened upon hearing this and he volunteered, "I’m well-acquainted with Capital City; Lanzi, if you want to buy a house, may I drive you there?"

"Oh, that would be great; from here to Capital City is a thousand miles away. There are all sorts of people on the road. It’s safer to have a man accompany you and your daughter, and I would be at ease."

Without waiting for Mrs. Xia to speak, Mrs. Cheng smiled and immediately agreed for her, attempting to create an opportunity for the two.

After glancing at Xia Jiehao, Mrs. Xia quickly lowered her head again, "Thank you, but there’s no need to trouble you."

She really didn’t want him to get involved with a divorced woman like her, not wanting to tarnish himself.

"It’s a tiny favor, not troublesome at all," Xia Jiehao said cheerfully.

Just as Mrs. Xia was about to decline again, she heard Xia Ningxing’s childish voice on her right say, "Mommy, why don’t we let Uncle Xia drive us? Bao’er would rather ride in a private car than on a train, and there are so many people going back after the Spring Festival; tickets are hard to get."

"If Mommy really feels embarrassed, we can give Uncle Xia car fare! "

Xia’s assist came online.

Xia Ningxing wouldn’t have been so proactive with anyone else, but Xia Jiehao was different.

He was a boss!

A boss worthy of her fawning.

"Well... okay then." Seeing her daughter’s hopeful little eyes, Mrs. Xia’s demeanor finally softened, and she spoke in a dry voice, her almond-shaped eyes glancing at Xia Jiehao again: "It’s settled then. We’re planning to leave on the 10th. The car fare is a hundred yuan; does that sound okay to you?"

Her tone was all business, polite and formal.

Going to the train station would cost twenty yuan for the two of them; giving a hundred yuan now shouldn’t be considered too little, right?
