Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 439 - 381: Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Sabotages Everything with a Backhand 21

At that moment, the noble ladies accompanying Madam Xie also heard the words spoken by the eldest young master of the Xie Family. They exchanged looks and simultaneously revealed knowing smiles.

Seeing the young couple flirtatiously bantering, their own memories were evoked; they invariably felt it was like the sweet, tender explorations of youth, seeming to find the sweetness of their own youthful romances.

At this time, Madam Xie’s emotions were greatly stirred, the first being surprise.

She had seen her son being indifferent, always shuttling between the hospital and the company, never showing any desire to date. No girls approached him, and even if some were willing, they would be put off by his cold demeanor. But unexpectedly, here he was, speaking to a girl like this.

Suddenly, Madam Xie felt that all this was very promising. Seeing her close friends making suggestive gestures at her, she realized this girl might very well be her future daughter-in-law. Thus, she tiptoed over and walked up to Xie Yanshang, then gently tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

"... Mom, when did you get here?" Xie Yanshang was just about to respond to Su Zhiruan, having intended to refuse, when suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder from Madam Xie.

Upon hearing Xie Yanshang address her as "Mom," Su Zhiruan on the other end of the line realized that the lady from the Xie Family had arrived. She too became very polite, remaining silent.

"He can go, he has plenty of time. If he can’t make it, Auntie will help you out," Madam Xie warmly responded.

She patted her son on the shoulder again.

"Mom, I don’t know her," Xie Yanshang moved the phone away, looking helplessly at his mother. They had an understanding long ago; now, with just one look from Madam Xie, he could tell what she was thinking. The smile on her face meant she was probably thinking about having a daughter-in-law. However, Xie Yanshang knew well that Su Zhiruan could not be Madam Xie’s daughter-in-law, "She and I have no relation, she’s just a kid who came for a consultation. Don’t scare the kid."

"A kid?" Madam Xie was taken aback. From the tone of Xie Yanshang just now, she had thought the girl on the phone was surely her future daughter-in-law, but Xie Yanshang denied it, saying that she was just a kid.

"Just a kid, her parents ignore her, and she wants me to help her at a parent-teacher conference." Xie Yanshang repeated what Su Zhiruan had just told him.

Madam Xie felt somewhat regretful upon hearing this.

Su Zhiruan, on the other end of the phone, had heard everything and quickly assessed the situation. Upon sensing the awkward silence, she smiled and spoke up.

"Dr. Xie, is that Auntie next to you? Please say hello to her for me."

The girl’s voice was sweet and polite, yet composed, instantly winning Madam Xie’s favor.

"Kid, would you like Xie Yanshang to help you with the parent-teacher conference?" Madam Xie’s fondness for Su Zhiruan increased significantly. She always liked polite kids, and moreover, she didn’t have a daughter. Thus, hearing the soft, tender voice of the young girl, her fondness surged.

"Yes, Auntie, that’s what I was planning. My parents don’t care about me, but the school requires a parent to sign a form. Since I only know Dr. Xie, I hoped to boldly ask for his help. However, if Dr. Xie is busy, then I won’t bother you further." Su Zhiruan explained the situation with a note of regret but politely.

Madam Xie hesitated for two seconds.

Xie Yanshang, holding the phone, said, "Sorry, I have other matters, I’ll have to hang up now."

"No worries, you’re busy; it was me who disturbed you. If fate allows us to meet again, I will gladly thank you, Dr. Xie!" Su Zhiruan didn’t mind at all, her tone still cheerful and lively,

"Wait—"

Just then, a voice stopped Xie Yanshang from hanging up the phone. He paused, perplexed, looking toward the voicing Madam Xie. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Young lady, since Yanshang can’t make it, how about I go in his place?" Madam Xie spontaneously offered, taking the phone from Xie Yanshang’s hand, placing it to her ear to speak with Su Zhiruan on the other end.

The noble ladies, hiding behind flower pots pretending to admire the flowers, were actually listening intently to every sound, secretly admiring Madam Xie, who was quick to act and quick to think on her feet.
