Mrs. Zuo was satisfied the first mont she saw Zoe Lewis: "Birds of a feather flock together! That’s why you can bump into each other just strolling around!"
Ryker was even more speechless: "Mom, that’s not how the saying goes. I’ve told you, we’re just friends."
Mrs. Zuo completely ignored him, holding Zoe’s hand and chatting away: "Ryker has a cold personality, so bear with him a bit, and don’t listen to his nonsense about ’friends.’ I’ve never seen him go out shopping with any girls before. He doesn’t even want to accompany , he’d rather stay ho digging coal than go out for a walk."
So much information packed into this!
Ryker digs coal?
What kind of unique hobby is this?
Could this be a crucial point in controlling him?
Zoe, excited like a little bird, completely ignored Ryker and started chatting happily with Mrs. Zuo.
Nearby, Ryker’s aunt occasionally chid in.
The three won were chatting so enthusiastically, almost as if they regretted not having t sooner, while Ryker beca rely background.
The three skipped shopping altogether and directly found a restaurant in the mall’s food court, sitting down to eat and chat.
Zoe went shopping with a hidden agenda, ready to end the shopping trip at any mont.
Mrs. Zuo thought she’d t her future daughter-in-law, and didn’t bother buying anything, as she frequently ca out shopping and lacked nothing.
What she lacked most these days was a daughter-in-law.
"...Our family used to run a coal mining business, but it’s been in decline in recent years, so we’ve stopped. Yet every ti Ryker is in a bad mood, he insists on going to the mines to dig coal, and we can’t stop him."
Zoe glanced at Ryker sitting nearby, looking despairing, and struggled to hold back her laughter.
Indeed, a unique hobby!
Others might cry or binge eat when they’re upset, or in more extre cases, smash things.
He actually digs coal!
How interesting!
So interesting!
Zoe casually complinted: "Auntie, Ryker is doing good work like this, contributing to the coal mines. He’s really special!"
"Right? I also think he’s special. Finally found soone who resonates with !"
The three chatted throughout the whole afternoon, and Mrs. Zuo didn’t care whether Zoe was really her son’s girlfriend, she directly arranged a ti to invite her over to their ho.
Ryker, who hadn’t interrupted the whole ti, finally couldn’t hold back: "Why are you inviting her over? She can’t co!"
If Zoe went to his ho, wouldn’t she dig up everything about the Zuo family?
In just one afternoon, she’d already almost uncovered eighteen generations of the Zuo family’s ancestors.
His mom was blissfully unaware, talking excitedly even when she had been prompted.
"I’m inviting her over as a guest, aren’t you always like this, not making friends? Let tell you, if you don’t get married soon, don’t expect to co back ho anymore!"
Mrs. Zuo was frustrated that her son wasn’t acting in her best interest, thinking the young lady was quite interested in her son, but he wasn’t seizing the opportunity!
She was proactively bringing soone ho for her son, helping him pursue the girl, yet he was still unhappy!
But this was indeed the first ti Ryker accompanied a girl shopping; he didn’t show any impatience, implying this girl was different to him.
After a long chat, Mrs. Zuo reluctantly bid farewell to Zoe, instructed her son to accompany her well, and slipped her own card to Ryker, whispering: "Be smart, be generous. If she likes sothing, just pay for it. No one wants a stingy man!"
