In Tang Shu's memory, the departure of his mother Shen Xiuyu was not unrelated to the sudden death of his father, but it was definitely not as unbearable as what was rumored outside.

He clearly remembered that Shen Xiuyu arranged everything properly before leaving. With Dai Chuanyu's guarantee, she left so decisively. Tang Shu was already sensible at that time, so he never blamed his mother, and in order to protect Shen Xiuyu's reputation, he

She has fought several times with people who spread rumors and slandered her, as Shao Xianjun can testify.

The reason why he was stunned on the spot at this moment was that as a future soul piercer, Tang Shu didn't know how to face this mother who suddenly appeared.

He really thought that he would never have anything to do with this person again.

As a son, Tang Shu was so rude. Xia Yan, who woke up first, could not lose her upbringing as a junior. She immediately came over and pulled out a chair for Shen Xiuyu: "Auntie, please sit down first."

"Okay." Shen Xiuyu agreed with a smile. While sitting down, her eyes never left Xia Yan. Xia Yan suddenly felt as if her cheeks were burning. Now it was over. What she had said just now because of the excitement was lost in her mind.

, must have all been heard by Tang Shu’s mother, how could she see anyone else?

"What? You don't welcome me?" Seeing that the focus of Tang Shu's eyes still hadn't recovered, Shen Xiuyu sighed softly, "I ran all day long to find you."

Shen Xiuyu's return to Jiangsu Province could be regarded as a homecoming. Her original plan was to pick up Tang Shu, so her first stop should have been Jiangcheng County.

After contacting Dai Chuanyu on the phone, she learned that Tang Shu had taken the college entrance examination and was successfully admitted to Ning Agricultural University. As soon as she got off the plane, she rushed to Ning Agricultural University, but failed.

Fortunately, before Tang Shu left school, he mentioned to his roommates that he was going to Ningbo Normal University to find friends. Shen Xiuyu, who knew nothing about her current son, might of course know who Tang Shu was looking for, so she could only hug him

With the last glimmer of hope, he called Dai Chuanyu again and asked for some clues about Xia Yan. Then he came to Ning Normal University.

Of course, they passed by them again. When Shen Xiuyu rushed to the dormitory in Building 3, Gu Manzhi had already led his roommates to meet Tang Shu at an off-campus restaurant.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. Shen Xiuyu asked the classmates in the dormitory next door and finally found out the name of the hotel. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived outside the private room door, she heard someone bullying her son.

So the scene where Wu Jinkang gave up after just a few words was officially staged.

Tang Shu nodded mechanically. Until now, he still couldn't accept that this stranger who could be called his mother suddenly appeared in his life.

This kind of impact was so direct that anyone else would have to kneel down, or at least give themselves a buffer.

"I know you went to your relatives overseas, but you should have at least sent a letter home in the past three years. I thought you..." So far, he still hasn't been able to use that title that made Tang Shu feel very awkward.

exit.

"I think so too." Shen Xiuyu sighed quietly, "Unfortunately, there is no communication between the mainland and Taiwan. The reason why I can appear here this time is because your grandpa transferred part of his business to Hong Kong Island. I came from there.

You can only come back after entering the customs."

After Shen Xiuyu explained this, Tang Shu understood. It turned out that his cheap grandfather was a senior general who escaped with the large army in 1949. No wonder Shen Xiuyu didn't take him with her when she went to find her family. The journey was not only difficult, but also exposed.

The risk is also very high, and both of them may die on the way to Taiwan.

Thinking of Shen Xiuyu's hardships and near-death situation when she went south, Tang Shu suddenly had an epiphany. He slowly held Shen Xiuyu's hand, his Adam's apple rolled up and down several times, and then he shouted "Mom" so low that only the two of them could hear it.

”.

No matter how soft Tang Shu's voice was, Shen Xiuyu heard it very clearly. She put her other hand on the back of Tang Shu's hand and patted it gently, with a smile on her face and the corners of her eyes still shining with crystal light.

"Is this girl Xia Yan?"

Shen Xiuyu turned her gaze to Xia Yan beside Tang Shu, and she was so frightened that she almost stood up and ran away.

Didn't Tang Shu treat all the roommates in dormitory 216 to dinner today? Why did it develop into a sudden meeting with the parents? Tang Shu hadn't gone home with him yet, so he didn't expect that she, an ugly daughter-in-law, would have to meet her mother-in-law first?

Oops, what a mess.

In her wild thoughts, Xia Yan shook her head like a rattle. This move made Shen Xiuyu say "Huh" softly: "Then who is Xia Yan?"

Shen Xiuyu's question made Xia Yan so embarrassed that she couldn't hold her head up: "Auntie, I am."

Seeing Xia Yan's bewildered look, which aroused laughter from the theatergoers around her, Shen Xiuyu immediately came to the rescue for her future daughter-in-law: "You girls, please stop laughing at her. When you experience this kind of scene, you might as well

Where is my Xia Yan?"

These few words seemed to be an understatement, but Xia Yan could hear the implication of Shen Xiuyu's words, and couldn't help but bury her face that was already red to the ears. Her shy and shy look was something that her roommates had never seen before. It was almost like

Xia Yan is completely different from her usual self.

Moving her eyes away from Xia Yan, Shen Xiuyu finally saw Shao Xianjun sitting aside: "I heard from Lao Dai that you have had a good relationship with Xiao Shu in the past few years. Thank you, aunt."

Shao Xianjun, who has always been shameless, stretched out his hand to scratch his scalp in embarrassment, showing a silly smile: "We grew up together, of course we have to help each other, but now it's Tang Shu who is helping.

Me, even I was able to marry a wife because of Tang Shu's help."

Gu Manzhi stood by and smiled shyly at Shen Xiuyu, and called Shao Xianjun "Auntie". No one knew that under the invisible table, her two fingers were pinching Shao Xianjun's thigh like a crab's claws.

"Auntie, it would be great if you came back two days earlier, and you could still have our wedding wine."

Shen Xiuyu also nodded slightly towards Gu Manzhi and praised generously: "She is a charming and good girl, and she is more than suitable for you." Then, Shen Xiuyu turned around and looked at the female secretary Zhong Hui who had returned from the hall:

"Xiaohui, please go and prepare a red envelope for me."

Zhong Hui bent down, turned around and left again.

Shao Xianjun and Gu Manzhi were about to refuse, but Shen Xiuyu insisted: "Since you call me aunt, how could I not show any sign of it? This is custom and it is not easy to refuse."

Turning her gaze back, she first smiled apologetically at Xia Yan: "As for your meeting gift, I still need to prepare it."

Xia Yan hurriedly waved her hands and wanted to say no, but she felt that since she had already said that she would not marry anyone but Tang Shu in the future, she had to accept this meeting gift. She nodded and shook her head for a moment, and she was so anxious that she almost ran away.

impulsive.

Finally, Shen Xiuyu looked at Tang Shu: "Originally, my main purpose of coming back this time was to take you away, but now it seems that you may not be willing to return to Hong Kong Island with me."

In Shen Xiuyu's memory, her son was relatively introverted and not good at socializing with others. She always thought that Tang Shu's life would not be very nurturing, so when her father planned to invest in Hong Kong Island, she came with him in order to find an opportunity to return to Jiangsu Province.

Taking Tang Shu away, who would have thought that his son would not only be admitted to college through his own efforts, but also find a partner. With these ties, Tang Shu might be reluctant to leave Ningcheng.

Of course, it was impossible for Tang Shu to leave Suzhou. Even if knowing his mother Shen Xiuyu's family background would help him avoid many detours, he had no intention of giving up his current life and living under someone else's roof.

Only wealth acquired through one's own hands is something that truly belongs to oneself. Moreover, after the reform and opening up, the mainland is like a blank sheet of paper. There are far more opportunities than tiny places like Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island. Maybe

In the near future, it’s really not certain who needs whose help.
