As for his current relationship with Yueqing, whether it should progress or regress, Zhao Hesheng hasn't figured it out yet, nor is he ready to have a proper discussion with Yueqing about their future.

Zhao was also reluctant to part with Yueqing. He really liked Yueqing, otherwise he wouldn't have been so devoted to her when he met her in the hospital when she was vulnerable.

His inner hesitation prevented him from facing Yueqing.

"Mom, how about we reschedule? I think Yueqing seems to have something to do."

Zhao's mother couldn't stand her son's procrastinating nature. "What day are you going to postpone it? When are we going to meet? What's wrong with taking this opportunity to meet?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao's mother pulled her son toward Yueqing's table.

Yueqing, who was sitting and waiting for her food, had her back to the Zhao family and naturally didn't see the mother and son coming over. Wang Hekun, however, did see them but didn't warn her.

Upon seeing the Zhao family mother and son suddenly appear before her, Yueqing greeted them politely, "Hello, Teacher Zhao, and this is~"

When Zhao's mother saw how beautiful Yueqing was up close, she was overjoyed: "Oh my, my good girl, hello, hello, I'm Hesheng's mother."

Before Yueqing could even speak, she continued, "You're Hesheng's girlfriend, right? I've seen you at the school gate."

“Hesheng mentioned you at home. I just saw you. I was going to ask Hesheng to introduce you, but he’s like a block of wood. He doesn’t know any better. He even hesitated to come up and say hello.”

"We're all friends now, what's there to be embarrassed about? Don't you think so?"

Watching Zhao's mother chatter on and on, not giving her a chance to speak at all, Yueqing was both amused and exasperated.

After Zhao's mother finished her long explanation, Yueqing finally had a chance to explain, "Aunt Zhao, you may have misunderstood. I am not Teacher Zhao's girlfriend now."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hesheng looked at Yueqing with disbelief and his eyes darted around.

Du Yueqing looked at him with suspicion, "Isn't that right? It's been more than a month since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"

"Even if you two met at school, you didn't say hello. Doesn't that mean you've agreed to break up?"

Zhao Hesheng was dumbfounded. He just had some things he couldn't figure out and thought he needed to calm down, so how did it turn into a breakup?

He recently discovered the gap between himself and Yueqing, and thought he should just think things through before making a decision. How did they end up breaking up? He suddenly lost his girlfriend for no reason.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hesheng said urgently, "Yueqing, I just..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Anzhao's voice rang out from beside him, "Mom, I'm hungry."

"Mom?" This time, it was Zhao's mother who was surprised. She looked at Yueqing with some astonishment.

First, she looked at me with a questioning expression, then with a hint of accusation, "Mom? You're married? No? You're married... How come you're dating my son if you're married?"

Zhao's mother was full of questions. Their relationship was a bit complicated, and she needed to sort it out again.

What does this mean? Is his son the other woman?

Zhao's mother looked at her son, then at Du Yueqing, and then at the little boy who was calling Du Yueqing "Mom."

She found it hard to accept this fact, so why did she drag her son over just now? Would her son have been beaten by Du Yueqing's husband?

Zhao's mother thought the two were in a normal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but she never expected that her son would break up someone else's family.

Zhao's mother then looked at the man behind Du Yueqing. Judging from the situation, Du Yueqing's husband knew about their relationship and didn't mind. Zhao's mother wasn't that open-minded.

City people really know how to play the game. Even though relationships in their village are complicated, they're never this open about it.

Still somewhat doubtful, Zhao's mother asked again, "Young lady, is this child really yours?"

Du Yueqing nodded indifferently. If this child wasn't hers, would she let other children call her "Mom"?

Looking at Wang Hekun, Zhao's mother said with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Du is my son's colleague. That's why I thought I'd bring my son over to say hello."

Zhao's mother nodded to the three of them, pulled Zhao Hesheng, who was standing there in a daze, and turned to leave.

Her son was capable and handsome, but the Zhao family had no background, and she and Old Zhao, as his parents, were not capable of cleaning up his mess.

As Zhao's mother walked, she pondered. She had already apologized on behalf of her son, so things should be easier now, right?

The man looked quite wealthy; they should back out if possible and avoid trouble if possible.

Watching the two walk away, Wang Hekun looked at Yueqing and said cryptically, "He's not right for you."

Yue Qing glanced at him indifferently, her eyes conveying an ambiguous meaning.

Seeing this, Wang Hekun guiltily turned his head away.

On the way back, Zhao's mother kept nagging and trying to persuade her son, but Zhao Hesheng listened silently.

He couldn't help but think that perhaps this was the best outcome.

The stars in the sky should shine brightly, and those who love stars should look up at them from the ground.

Instead of having ulterior motives, trying to pluck the stars from the sky and make them fall, thus getting covered in vulgarity.

Zhao Hesheng turned around and looked at Du Yueqing's smiling face, feeling a little reluctant to part with her.

From now on, Zhao Hesheng will truly only be able to stare blankly at the stars...

……

Two short months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Du family's life has been anything but peaceful these past two months.

Du Yueqing and Zhao Hesheng have now become the most familiar strangers.

Speaking of Zhao Hesheng, he really helped Du Yueqing a lot when Du Jianxin was sick and hospitalized!

Just substituting for Yueqing was already a huge help! Not to mention how busy she was at the hospital.

Even Su Jianxin, who had never officially met Zhao Hesheng, knew that this young man was an honest and good person.

But Du Jianxin knew very well what kind of personality his daughter had, and that this kind of thrifty, good man was not suitable for her.

Thinking that he had some connections at school, he figured he could lend a hand if the young man ever needed help.

This is all to repay his efforts.

Meanwhile, looking at Du's mother, there have been some changes in her social circle as well.

She recently made a new friend, and the two hit it off immediately! They have similar interests and topics of conversation.

When we have free time, we go to get beauty treatments, go shopping, and do square dancing together.

This new friend is Ma Xiaoqing, whom Du's mother met at the cultural center.

Meanwhile, in the Su family home, Ma Xiaoqing was excitedly showing off her recent achievements to her husband in the living room!

Su Qingming had just reached his doorstep when he heard his mother's loud voice.

Ma Xiaoqing was chatting away with Lao Su, "Oh, to be honest, I've risked everything for our son, even my old face."

"In order to get along well with Lao Yang, I carefully observed her interests and hobbies and tried to keep up with her."

"Sigh, what can I do? She has such a wonderful daughter! I've got my eye on her daughter."

“I really like that girl. Yueqing has a special temperament. She has fair and tender skin and clear and bright eyes. She also has a well-behaved personality. If she doesn’t speak, just standing there, her temperament is absolutely outstanding.”

As Ma Xiaoqing spoke, she proudly gave her husband a thumbs-up.
