Tangling with the Western Commander - Chapter 321

Chapter 321: Chapter 318 Chapter 321: Chapter 318 Playing mahjong with a few sisters.

Lu Father certainly didn’t care and enjoyed his own peace in the study, reading books.

Today, Lu Mother’s luck wasn’t too bad, at first she kept receiving the wrong tiles, but she was calm and composed, just picking up tiles.

Building connections, she didn’t get greedy for a big win, just picking up a few small wins to get back on track.

Before long, her luck really did improve, bringing a smile to her face.

At this time.

A woman from the neighboring house joked with a laugh:
“It seems like Sister Lu is so cheerful because of some happy event. Come on, is there something about to happen at home?”

As soon as she finished, someone else chimed in with a click of her tongue: “I think, isn’t it about your son getting married soon? Time flies so fast, look at my own son, he’s as old as your Lu Xiao, and now my granddaughter is in kindergarten.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Mother immediately gave her a stern look, “Yes, you all have grandchildren already, but I really don’t want to, not one bit!”

Always hitting a raw nerve.

Her son had finally gotten a girlfriend, and she was the National Goddess Wen Xian, which delighted her immensely and naturally, she didn’t dare bring up anything unseemly.

But how could she not want her son to settle down as soon as possible?

The betrothal gifts for the wedding had been ready for a long time as Lu Xiao was the only child of the Lu Family!

If Wen Xian were to marry into their family, they would certainly not treat her unfairly.

She would be treated as their own.

Every time Lu Mother thought about Wen Xian being her son’s girlfriend, her heart would itch with excitement.

Wen Xian was the very image she held dear in her heart, perfect in every way she looked at her.

One of the neighborhood sisters said with a laugh:
“Come on Sister Lu, if you can’t hold them, just say so. Don’t claim you don’t want to. Every time my little Nina comes over, I don’t know who it is that keeps wanting to hold her.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Mother felt a sharp pang in her heart: “…”

She made a mistake in her mahjong play and immediately allowed her opponent to win the game.

Lu Mother’s temples started to throb, and she said:
“Don’t get too pleased with yourselves, my son is getting married this year! This year he’ll let me hold my grandchildren!”

The neighboring sisters retorted without any niceties: “You might as well go to sleep, dreams have everything.”

Lu Mother: “…”

!!

Just as Lu Mother was trying to contain her fresh annoyance, the landline phone in the house suddenly rang.

She was just about to feel completely devastated when she simply asked someone to play for her and took the opportunity to stand up and answer the phone.

Actually, coming back to it, every time she saw the neighbors bringing up the fact her son’s girlfriend was Wen Xian, her heart swelled with pride, but she just couldn’t bring herself to say it aloud.

It was not for any other reason than she still had some inevitable worries in her heart.

Her son was so dull and stuffy, even more boring than his father. How long would a wonderful girl like Wen Xian like him?

She was truly afraid her son might be dumped.

She really hoped her son could show some spirit!

Now, she picked up the phone on the rosewood table and answered it.

“Hello? Who is this?”

As she asked, there was a pause on the other end: “Me.”

“Who are you?”

Lu Mother hadn’t paid attention to the caller ID before answering, and besides, she couldn’t remember those details anyway.

As they settled on this exchange, the person on the other end of the phone seemed quite frustrated, took a deep breath, and then said:
“Have you forgotten that you have a son? Mrs. Chen Xilian.”

In daily conversation, the neighbors were accustomed to referring to her as part of the Lu Family, hence they called Lu Xiao’s mother Sister Lu.
