112 Support from Experienced Mother
Tang Zhe did not know what Butler Qi had misunderstood. After bringing the things over, he went back to report to his CEO in satisfaction.
Yi Zheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking to his mother. After Tang Zhe entered, he first greeted Lu Xiang before standing beside Yi Zheng and saying, “Master, the items have been sent to the Shi family.”
“What is it?” Lu Xiang asked curiously.
Her son had actually given the Shi family another gift. She remembered that he had just given them an expensive jade not long ago.
“Madam, it’s a few boxes of seafood that were specially flown over. They’re all Miss Shi’s favorites.” Tang Zhe bowed and explained.
Lu Xiang covered her mouth in shock and looked at her son. “You especially gave these to Manman? Don’t tell me you like Manman?”
“Mom.” Yi Zheng took out the bracelet from his coat and looked at it. “I don’t want to break off the engagement anymore. Leave this bracelet with me for the time being. When the time is right, I’ll hand it back to Shi Man.”
“Sure! That’s great!” Lu Xiang was still very happy to see the two children reconcile. Shi Man was a good child who knew her roots and she had always treated Shi Man as her future daughter-in-law.
Tang Zhe also smiled and said, “Madam, we can’t rush this matter yet. We have to take it slow. Miss Shi doesn’t like President Yi yet.”
“That’s easy!” Lu Xiang immediately recommended herself. “I’ll help you test it tomorrow. Don’t worry, I’m experienced.”
“No need.” Yi Zheng refused without thinking. He did not want to rely on others for this. Even if he wanted to get her back, he had to do it himself.
“There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me.” Lu Xiang waved her hand reproachfully and glanced at her son. “Leave this to me. I’ll go to her school tomorrow and put in a good word for you!”
Yi Zheng wanted to say something, but Lu Xiang was insistent and made it clear that she was right. He could not refute her.
The next day, Lu Xiang indeed drove and parked at the entrance of Cassel Academy ostentatiously. She took off her sunglasses and was personally welcomed by the principal.
“Old Zhang, my daughter-in-law is in a class at your school. You have to take good care of her!”
Lu Xiang’s words stunned Principal Zhang. Then, he asked in disbelief, “Are you talking about Shi Man?”
“Yes.” Lu Xiang nodded matter-of-factly and sat in the principal’s office, drinking the hot tea poured by the secretary.
Principal Zhang hurriedly sat opposite her and asked with a frown, “I heard that the Yi family and the Shi family have already broken off the engagement.”
In other words, Shi Man had nothing to do with the Yi family now. Why did the head of the Yi family personally come to the academy and especially explain Shi Man’s identity to him?
“Who said that the engagement is broken off? My son said that he won’t marry anyone but her!” Lu Xiang knew her son well. Although he didn’t say it explicitly, Shi Man was the only girl he cared about. If he didn’t marry her, who else could he marry?
“By the way, where’s my daughter-in-law’s report card? Show it to me.” Lu Xiang had not forgotten her purpose for coming here this time.
She was here to help her clumsy son gain a good impression!
After a while, the secretary brought the report card over.
Lu Xiang naturally flipped to the end of the report card and started searching from the bottom.
When the secretary saw this, she coughed awkwardly and carefully explained, “Madam, Miss Shi’s results are in third place.”
“What?” It was Lu Xiang’s turn to be surprised.
She had watched Shi Man grow up and knew her grades very well. That was why she started looking for her name at the end; it was not meant to despise Shi Man at all.
Unexpectedly, Shi Man was so good at studying that she could even be ranked third in Cassel Academy!
Lu Xiang flipped to the first page excitedly and saw Shi Man’s name on it. She immediately couldn’t stop smiling. “Aiyo, my daughter-in-law is so outstanding. Even I didn’t expect it. No wonder Xiao Zheng suddenly likes her so much.”
Lu Xiang was even more satisfied with Shi Man, but when she saw that she was in Class F at the end, she immediately frowned unhappily. “Why is my baby still in such a poor class despite learning so well?”
“Mrs. Yi, you don’t know.” Principal Zhang took the initiative to explain, “Student Shi Man took the initiative to ask. She actually demonstrated her ability level during the entrance examination and could go straight to Class S. She only went to Class F because she asked.”
“She asked for it herself?” Lu Xiang was shocked for a moment before quickly recovering her composure.
That was true. Her daughter-in-law was so outstanding. It was the same wherever she studied.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiang felt honored. She wished she could see her immediately and reward her.
“Where’s Class F? Bring me there quickly. I want to pick her up for lunch!”
Lu Xiang was a person of action and was anxious. The secretary could not refuse, so she looked to the principal for help.
The principal shook his head helplessly and smiled. “Madam Yi, don’t be anxious. It’s still class time, but there’s still half an hour before the lunch break. Just wait here.”
