Chapter 449 - To Be Honest... (1/2)

Shi Luo pushed open the door and walked inside her apartment.

The moment she stepped inside, her palm flew to cover her mouth.

The place was filled with dust since it has been around a year she moved to Beijing and she had not booked any caretakers for the place.

''Ugh… How I wish I had a robot who would do this for me,'' she inhaled a deep breath and kept her luggage aside.

Shi Luo tied her long hair in a messy bun before folding the sleeves of her pleated beige shirt. Adjusting her glasses, she looked at the broom lying in the corner.

After 2 hours.

''Hah…'' Shi Luo slumped on the couch.

The place was so messy and it took her a long time to clean it.

She checked the time on her wristwatch. It was past noon and she had to go to Crystal University to meet Jun Boyan.

''He will be surprised,'' she sat up on the couch, her heart racing with anticipation.

'Knock Knock'

A series of knocks on the door interrupted her thoughts. She frowned. She ordered takeout just now but how did it reach so early?

Shi Luo pushed herself to her feet and walked towards the main door. She pressed her eye closer to the peephole of the door but her jaws dropped when she saw who was standing outside.

She opened the door quickly, ''Mom, what are you doing here?'' her eyes widened. She glanced at the woman standing in front of her, ''How did you even know that I am here?”

''Your driver informed me,'' The woman adjusted the long sleeve of her white dress before glaring at her daughter, ''Or else the way you are going, I won't even know when I have a grandkid. Hmph!'' she pushed Shi Luo aside before walking inside.

Shi Luo stood rooted to her spot while holding the door. Her mouth opened and closed, unable to utter a single word.

''Mom,'' she followed the woman once she came back to her senses. You don't even have a son-in-law yet, which grandkid are you talking about?

''What is it?” Shi Luo's mother, Shi Xia flipped her hair as she tilted her head to look at her.

The corner of her lips twitched. ''Uh… you look pretty,'' Shi Luo tried to ease the tension in the air.

''Tell me something I don't know,'' a frown graced the woman's face.

''Mom, are you angry?” Shi Luo walked towards the couch, intending to take a seat right next to her mother, ''Is it because you are in your 40s now? Is that why you are having mood swings?” She did not remember offending her mother lately.

''Stand there,'' Shi Xia pointed her finger towards the coffee table in front of her.

''W-What…'' Shi Luo was startled but she quietly did what she was told.

Her mother was a very kind and quiet person. The people who didn't know her would say that.
