I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Wait, my father-in-law didn’t come home yesterday, right? Should I inform Ji Yun… ? But it seems Ji Yun isn’t at home either.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, I just overslept,” Xu Lin scratched his head.

At that moment, the elevator reached the sixth floor.

Sure enough, the woman headed straight for 601, and Xu Lin hurriedly arrived at the opposite door, knocking.

But the scene Xu Lin least wanted to encounter happened: before entering, the door opened, and Ji Yun popped out her head.

“Why are you here so early? You went back so late last night. How late did you work? You should have rested properly.”

Then, the sound of the door opening behind him stopped abruptly, and Ji Yun also noticed the figure not far away, suddenly stunned, looking at Xu Lin in confusion.

“What’s going on?”

“Ji Yun, why are you here?”

Mother Ji, stepping briskly in her small leather shoes, approached. While Ji Yun awkwardly emerged from the house, still wearing cute panda pajamas.

“Mom, I…”

“What’s going on with you two? Does your father know?”

Before Ji Yun could finish, Mother Ji narrowed her eyes, and a chill pierced through, turning her previous warmth into a poisoned blade!

“Hello, Auntie.”

“Don’t ‘hello’ me, I’m not okay! What’s your name? How long have you two been together?”

“Mom! What do you mean by this? Let me finish speaking, okay! You’ve always been like this!”

Ji Yun also surprisingly lost her temper, pulling him behind her and using her slender figure as a shield, staring with beautiful eyes.

“Ji Yun, why have you been meddling in the matters between me and your father recently? Now I understand!”

“I’ve told you and your dad countless times, focus on your studies in high school. Once you’re in college, if you want to date, I won’t interfere!”

Upon hearing this conversation from his mother-in-law, Xu Lin also realized that there seemed to be a misunderstanding.

The other party apparently mistook something, not knowing that the person living across was Chu Qingchan.

“Mom, I’m not dating or something. We’re just friends.”

“Ji Yun, now you’re even learning to lie? What about what you just said!? Late last night, and all that.”

“You’re a young girl, speaking such words, aren’t you ashamed? Have some self-respect! And you, it must be you… influencing my daughter!”

“You’re here babbling away, aren’t you embarrassed?”

Ji Yun felt too lazy to explain to the other party. Her mother was always like this, always jumping to conclusions and thinking she was right.

“Xu Lin, let’s go inside!”

Ji Yun pouted and dragged him into the house. Ji Yun’s mother also came straight at her and grabbed her.

Then the door behind them clicked open, and Chu Qingchan wrapped in a panda-patterned pajama similar to Ji Yun’s, sleepily looked at the few people.

“What are you all doing? Hello, Auntie, is there something going on?”

“Sister Chu, this is my mom.”

“Hello, Auntie, I’m Chu Qingchan. I just bought this house. Last time when I visited your home, you weren’t there, only Uncle and sister Ji Yun were at home.”

Chu Qingchan also politely greeted.

Facing Mother Ji, who was a bit stunned by Chu Qingchan’s beauty and unique temperament that surpassed her daughter, she couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

“Hello, Miss Chu…”

She couldn’t help but say, then stared at Chu Qingchan for a few seconds, showing a smile, as if she had figured out her identity.

“Old Ji didn’t tell me about this, only mentioned that the neighbors moved out.”

“Please come in and have a seat. Ji Yun and I will go change our clothes.”

“Alright.”

Chu Qingchan made an invitation gesture, Xu Lin, and Ji Yun also walked in. Ji Yun leaned against him and whispered softly.

“I think my mom is a bit snobbish, hope you don’t mind.”

“No worries, I like you. I don’t have to like your mom. Besides, she cares about you.”

“Mm.”

*Cough cough!*

Seeing her daughter getting close to that boy again, Lu Xiaoyan cleared her throat lightly.

Ji Yun glanced at her mother and followed Chu Qingchan into the bedroom.

“Auntie, did you see that? It’s not because Ji Yun and I live here, why else would I knock on the door before entering?”

Xu Lin also chimed in, and Lu Xiaoyan sighed deeply, looking at Xu Lin’s consistently calm face, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“I know you also care about Ji Yun. But sometimes, it’s better to calm down and listen to what she has to say.”

“Are you really not boyfriend and girlfriend?”

“No, Ji Yun and I are just good friends, also classmates. Chu Qingchan is my friend. We were planning to exercise together this morning.”

Only now did Lu Xiaoyan notice the black sportswear on the other party and rubbed her forehead.

“That was my fault. I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions like that.”

“It’s okay, please have a seat.”

“Your name is Xu Lin, right?”

Lu Xiaoyan had calmed down by now.

Even though this guy said he and Ji Yun weren’t in a romantic relationship, she still wanted to ask for herself.

“Yeah.”

“You are in the same class as our family’s Yun’er?”

“Yes, we’ve been in the same class since the first year of high school. We didn’t know we lived in the same neighborhood until recently.”

“My friend rented a house here, and Ji Yun often comes over to play. Now they’ve become good sisters.”

“I’m usually busy with work and business trips. Does her dad know about this?”

“Yeah, I’ve met Uncle Ji a few times. He actually recommended this house to my friend.”

“I see.”

Lu Xiaoyan nodded, thinking, ‘Old Ji, you have a star living next door, and you didn’t tell me? And your daughter has a good relationship with a boy, and you didn’t tell me?!’

At this moment, Ji Yun and Chu Qingchan also changed their clothes and walked out.

Instantly, Lu Xiaoyan’s expression changed, smiling as she looked at Chu Qingchan.

“Wow, so beautiful, even more than on TV.”

“No, no, let me get you something to eat. Auntie just came back from outside, haven’t had breakfast yet, right?”

“No need to trouble, I’ll eat at home.”

“Let’s eat together, we both haven’t had breakfast yet.”

After saying that, Chu Qingchan headed towards the kitchen, and Xu Lin hurriedly followed.

He was worried about Chu Qingchan being alone in the kitchen.

Besides, he could also guess that Ji Yun had something she wanted to talk to her mother about, regarding that matter with Aunt Yao.

This matter is her own family affair; he and Chu Qingchan can only watch over her.

In the living room, only Ji Yun and her mother were left. Even Lu Xiaoyan’s expression instantly turned serious as she looked at her daughter.

“I may have misunderstood just now, but why did you shout at me like that? What’s gotten into you?”

“You’re just unjustly accusing people, and Dad too. You won’t even listen to his explanation.”

“He’s still in contact with that woman, what’s there to discuss!”

“Mom, it’s not like that, please don’t treat me like a child. I want to have a serious conversation with you.”

“What do you want to talk about?”

To be honest, seeing her usually obedient daughter acting like this today was a rare sight, and it was a bit surprising. After some thought, she agreed.

“I’ve learned some things.”

“Did your father tell you something?”

Lu Xiaoyan’s tone became serious, showing a hint of nervousness.

But she didn’t believe her husband would tell their daughter about those things.

Those things were the only mistake of her life, the only stain, and the thing she had always wanted to avoid!

“Mom, I met Aunt Yao.”

“!”
