er, he chose to reveal it to Su Can, either out of carelessness or as a roundabout way to address his father's concerns.Old Xu knew Wang Bo personally and had close ties with him, which meant that he...Chapter 104: Snatching People

Jing Ming came to the No. 27 High School, and Qi is Changming's appearance was enough to make quite a few girls go crazy; naturally, this basketball match became even more exciting, reaching the peak of recent spectators.

And regarding this matter at No. 4 High School, it had become well-known without exception.

Lyu Xianming's mother, who was a famous food industry tycoon in Rongcheng, directly went to the school to look for women he liked.

Surely there were stories heard about wealthy families treating an entire class of students to dinner as graduation approached. Also, parties costing hundreds of thousands of yuan to celebrate coming-of-age ceremonies had been known, and even paying off officials during health check-ups or physical education tests was not unheard of; these all became legendary tales. This year's senior three class at No. 4 High School also saw a similar legendary event.

On Zhou Rong and Lu Xianming's invitation, in Tang Wu's reluctant acceptance, she accompanied them to an outside restaurant.

Zhang Feifei and the others returned somewhat disheartened and told Su Can about the entire ordeal when he came back with Wang Weiwei for a meal.

"I think Lu Xianming’s mother had come today with ulterior motives. It definitely wasn’t just to treat Tang Wu to dinner so simply; in the gymnasium, she offered Tang Wu an expensive jade bracelet and even insisted I accompany them when I asked, telling me she would invite me next time. Ah! Really infuriating! When I get home today, I’ll tell my mom that Zhou Rong’s eagerness is surely a sign of her being some kind of perverted woman!" Zhang Feifei, who was usually so assertive, encountered such a difficult opponent as Zhou Rong and got upset; Zhang Feifei might be on the same level with such women in ten years but right now, she fell far short. She was steaming inside.

Zhou Rong should not have come this openly or directly given Tang Wu an expensive bracelet. Generally speaking, without Tang Wu’s parents’ consent, even if Tang Wu agreed alone, it wouldn’t mean much, especially considering the many obstacles Tang Wu would face.

Su Can felt a surge of anger; what did Zhou Rong want to do And most importantly, what did Tang Wu's mother Mu Ban want

When he and Tang Wu first got off the plane, Mu Ban had insisted on seeing them off and truly said they should focus on studying during their senior three second semester.

Could it be that her words were just to make him, Su Can, let his guard down Did she value him so much, or was he a threat in her eyes The heavy machinations behind this made Su Can feel cold inside.

He had returned and always been low-key, not letting his soul that didn’t fit his age reveal itself. Even when it slipped out in front of Wang Bo and Lin Guozhou later on, he still earned their respect.

What had Su Can done to make Mu Ban so wary of him, treating him like a political enemy

Was it because Wang Bo had once stood up for him or due to the complex relationship between them and Wang Bo, or was it because he went to America which damaged her face

Did Mu Ban’s actions reflect an intent for her daughter Tang Wu to smoothly get through the second semester of senior three

Su Can had always avoided a direct confrontation with Mu Ban since she was Tang Wu's mother and had her own thoughts; he respected that. But Mu Ban clearly lost control, and if this continued, it would only mess up Tang Wu’s life with him.

This week, Su Cen was aware that Mu Xiong's good friend is also a powerful woman in their social circle. She dotes on and blindly supports her son. Does Mu Ji want to win over this woman and the power behind her family

All of this made Su Cen feel his restrained anger couldn't be contained anymore, like a flood breaking through a dam. He felt an overwhelming sense of frustration.

He asked coldly, "Where did they go"

Zhang Feifei instinctively replied, "I think it's at Mangshan Restaurant. Su Cen, don't be impulsive. You can't do anything right now even if you go there. It's just a meal. Can Lu Xianming's mother really eat Tang Wu Even if she doesn’t agree to their demands, what can they do about it Besides, Zhou Rong must have contact with the Tang family. If you go over like this, it wouldn't be justified.

Some girls also advised him, "Su Cen, don't act rashly. What can you do"

"I know what I should do," Su Cen nodded and left school with his backpack.

Indeed, it was just a meal, but he could use this opportunity to declare something to the woman who manipulates things in the background. He would tell her that she can't control everything and that she is merely an ordinary person rather than a deity. To someone who had been reincarnated, she was just a woman, an obsessive mother.

It's just a meal.

Tang Wu constantly reminded herself as she looked at the exquisite yet unsatisfying dishes on the table.

Across from her was Zhou Rong and beside her was Lu Xianming. This boy had hidden his shyness deep in his heart, and there were no hints of it in his expressive eyes.

He knew how to show respect before Tang Wu to gain her favor as much as possible throughout the process. His humorous comments made Tang Wu feel that this banquet wasn't too difficult to endure without having to listen to Zhou Rong's every insincere word.

Tang Wu didn't need to ponder over the hidden meanings behind Zhou Rong's words, but she had to consider her mother Mu Bo's mentality after this meal.

Zhou Rong hadn’t hit on the point yet. This shouldn’t be the main course of the meal.

Tang Wu’s spoon circled in her soup bowl as a sign that she was impatient. She rarely showed impatience but it was also a reminder for Zhou Rong to get to the point.

Lu Xianming's joking tone became softer, and Zhou Rong solemnly placed a pair of jade bracelets on the table. These weren’t family heirlooms or reasons to entrust something important; they were just ordinary items—a mid-grade jade bracelet priced at "Kai Bei" in Chengdu’s new boutique, Dunhuang Mall.

The bracelet had a delicate texture and a light green color, perfectly complementing Tang Wu's smooth skin.

"It is like this. Tang Wu, our Lu Xianming really likes you, which I believe you know. As an aunt, I won’t say anything or ask for anything from you since love should be free. Our generation was forced into arranged marriages by our families and suffered a lot because of it. It’s reasonable and feasible for you young people to freely choose your partners. I’ve already talked with your mother about this matter; she also thinks that you should develop naturally. After all, emotions need time to grow. Don’t worry, aunt won't demand anything from the two of you now. You can slowly develop your relationship."

"Here's how it is—now that you're in senior year 3, think about where you want to study and which school you prefer. Aunt will make sure you both go to the same school or even arrange for you to study abroad in countries like America, Britain, Canada, or Europe. Your mother is busy, so I’ll take care of it all. Just tell me your preference, and I'll handle everything."

Tang Wu was stunned, her chest rising and falling slightly. She made up her mind and said,

Ava, the words you want to tell me are yours. But it’s my mother who asked me to say this to you.

Zhou Rong gave a dry laugh and somewhat frivolously remarked, "Tang Wu, Auntie knows that in your current school, there are some young boys who don’t know their limits pursuing you. However, you mustn’t lose yourself. You should remember that when women fall in love or get married, they’re looking for someone to rely on, right Someone with a warm home and luxurious mansion, an excellent man who understands your feelings, isn’t it what we women aspire to We aim for a refined and leisurely life. We must work hard to be beautiful, graceful, and have elegant and noble qualities. Use the best cosmetics to take care of our skin, battle against time with meticulous grooming to resist aging and maintain beauty. But if you’re worried about daily necessities and live in rented rooms where every penny counts, what’s the point of talking about refinement or skincare Just life alone can be tormenting! Look at that boy—can he give you all this"

Lyu Xianming didn’t say anything; instead, he remained silent. He knew his mother was being a bit aggressive, but it was all for his and everyone else’s good.uoran, had set something up for him. Moreover, he found himself surrounded by people on all sides.The headlights of two cars positioned just right illuminated the scene from both sides. The heart-shap...
