Chapter 216: Chapter 217 A Surprise and A Scare 17

It seems that Shaohua isn’t behaving strangely at all, it’s just mom making a fuss.

How could Shaohua possibly do anything to let her down? Mom is overthinking.

Hearing footsteps, she quickly put her phone on the table in fright.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Mom Song walked in briskly.

"Mom, you scared me!" Song Yi’s face turned pale with fright; she thought it was Shaohua coming in.

"Why are you such a scaredy-cat, so useless!" Mom Song snorted coldly and walked over to pick up the phone on the table.

"Mom, put it down quickly. I’ve already checked and there’s nothing there." Song Yi stopped her mom, worried that Huo Shaohua was about to come in.

If he found out, that would be terrible.

"He’s still downstairs, I’ll just take a look." Ignoring Song Yi’s objections, Mom Song opened the phone and started checking immediately.

She just didn’t believe this Huo Shaohua had no secrets at all.

"Mom!"

"Don’t make a noise." Mom Song scolded fiercely.

Mom Song rummaged through the contacts, messages, and call records but still found nothing unusual.

Could her intuition be wrong?

"Mom, I told you there’s nothing wrong with Shaohua." Song Yi said with a sigh of relief, though she was still a bit scared that her mom might find something.

"This is impossible." Mom Song furrowed her brows in thought.

"He’s been with me for years, don’t you understand his character by now?"

"He’s pretty good, just worried about other women seducing him."

"That won’t happen." Song Yi smiled confidently.

"Silly girl, being too confident isn’t good either. Shaohua is such a catch, just because he doesn’t mess around doesn’t mean women won’t," Mom Song earnestly told Song Yi.

"So what should I do?" Song Yi bit her lips, starting to worry after hearing her mom’s words.

Her friends had been reminding her too, that Shaohua was a rare good man.

"Let’s finalize your marriage this time, and get married soon."

"I don’t want to get married yet," Song Yi frowned, not wanting to be constrained by the Huo family’s rules.

"What are you afraid of? Once you’re married, he’ll still listen to you. Whether to have kids or not is up to you."

"But, grandma..."

"How long can that old lady live? You don’t have to worry about these things, just move out after you get married."

"Mom, don’t talk about grandma like that." Song Yi frowned; although she disliked her grandma, hearing her mom say this made her uncomfortable.

"Silly daughter, mom is doing this for your own good. Only by marrying him does he truly become yours, otherwise, he’s nothing!" Mom Song held her daughter’s hand and told her sincerely.

She didn’t want her daughter to suffer like she did when she was young, finding a in-law worse than her own family.

A woman must marry well; love can’t compare to money.

Love can’t feed you or keep you warm, you can’t trust it.

The mother and daughter were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t notice Huo Shaohua standing at the door.

He had heard everything they said.

He now had a new understanding of Mom Song, indeed formidable.

"I’ve finished handling the things, we can leave now." Huo Shaohua smiled, walking into the room.

"Bang~" Mom Song was so startled by the sight of Huo Shaohua that her hand shook, and the phone fell to the ground.

"Shaohua, when did you come in?" Song Yi’s face turned pale, and she asked nervously.

When did he come in? Why didn’t she hear anything?

Did he hear their conversation?

"Just came in." Huo Shaohua smiled, bending down to pick up the phone.

Song Yi and Mom Song glanced at each other nervously, they were too careless and didn’t close the door.

Did he hear anything?

"What did Housekeeper Liu want?" Song Yi asked shakily, tightly gripping her mom’s hand.
