I Transmigrated into a Book and Became the Real Rich Daughter’s Pampered Cousin
Chapter 174 - 174 Coincidence174 Coincidence
Mama Le was stunned when she heard the conversation between Le Wan and her mother. She looked at Mother Zhai and said,
“Oh, so you’re the mother of our young teacher. It seems like we’re really fated to meet.”
His mother was a little embarrassed.
“I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence.” She glanced at Le Wan, her eyes full of kindness. “You’ve raised an excellent daughter.”
When Mama Le heard her praise Le Wan, she couldn’t help but smile.
“You’ve also raised an outstanding son. If it wasn’t for the teacher’s help, our baby wouldn’t have been able to improve so much in such a short time.”
Mother Zhai shook her head slightly. She wanted to say that Le Wan’s excellence was not only in her grades, but she was not sure if Le Wan’s mother knew about the relationship between Le Wan and Zhai Jing. She also didn’t know if the two children were really together, so she didn’t dare to speak too much for fear of causing unpleasant things.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries and complimented each other. Mother Zhai looked at the time anxiously.
“I came here without Zhai Jing’s knowledge. It’s almost time. I have to leave first. Otherwise, he’ll be angry when he comes out and sees me.”
Mama Le quickly stopped her.
“I can’t let you go alone in your current condition.”
They blamed themselves for whatever happened to her on the way, but they were afraid that their daughter would also be blamed.
She didn’t say that she wanted anyone to stay. After all, looking at Mother Zhai’s hesitant look just now, she knew that she was holding back something, so she arranged,
“Why don’t I get the driver to send you home?”
Mother Zhai waved her hands in fear.
“How can you do that? If you give it to me, what are the three of you going to do?”
Mama Le consoled her.
“I booked a room nearby. It’s only a few minutes’ walk. It’s more convenient than driving, so I don’t need to get in the car for now.”
Before the two sides could conclude, they were interrupted by a voice.
They looked up and saw that Zhai Jing had also handed in his paper in advance. However, considering his impressive grades, it was normal for him to hand in his paper early.
Zhai Jing glanced at Le Wan, who had a helpless expression on her face. Then, he walked straight to Mother Le and Mother Zhai. At first, he looked at Mother Zhai disapprovingly, but in front of outsiders, he didn’t say anything. He turned to thank Mother Le.
“Auntie, thank you for taking care of my mother and for the trouble.”
Mama Le first looked at Le Wan, who was pretending to be nonchalant, but she didn’t expose her. Instead, she said to Zhai Jing politely,
“I didn’t help her with anything. Instead, your mother was the one who was dragged by us to chat. It’s good that she doesn’t find us annoying.”
Feeling guilty, she avoided her son’s gaze and quickly said,
“It’s very interesting and pleasant to chat with you. Why would I be annoyed?”
Mama Zhai wasn’t being polite when she said this. Mama Le was a sociable person, and it was indeed pleasant to chat with her.
It was such a rare coincidence. Mama Le initially thought that everyone should have lunch together. However, considering Mother Zhai’s health, it wasn’t appropriate for her to make such a request. Hence, she looked at her daughter hesitantly.
“This is such a coincidence. We should have a good gathering, but the time is not very suitable. Why don’t we go back to the hotel first and get the chauffeur to send Zhai Jing and his mother back?”
Mama Le didn’t say it directly. She only made an excuse that it was not suitable for a gathering during the college entrance examination. However, as a mother knows her best, Le Wan could roughly guess what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.
“Sure.” She looked at Zhai Jing, who was about to reject her. “Mother Zhai’s health is still the most important.”
Zhai Jing was silent for a second before he agreed. Then, he thanked Mama Le.
On the way back, Mother Zhai sat in the back seat and looked at her son, who had a sullen expression on his face. She felt a little uneasy.
“Zhai Jing, did I embarrass you just now?”
She was sick all year round and spent too much time at home or in the hospital, so she had very little social contact with the outside world. When she faced strangers, she was always afraid that she would do something wrong.
Zhai Jing was a little surprised and his heart ached for her.
“Why would you embarrass me? I think you did a good job.” He paused for a moment. “I’m just a little angry that you didn’t care about your health and insisted on running out to the examination hall.”
“I just wanted to come here to take a look and then go back,” Mother Zhai said.
Zhai Jing didn’t reprimand her anymore. He only said,
“How can I take the exam in peace if you’re like this?”
Zhai Jing’s rare display of weakness directly shocked Mother Zhai. When she heard him say this, she hurriedly promised,
“I’m not going. I’ll only go once. I’ll be at ease after seeing it.”
After Mother Zhai’s assurance, Zhai Jing’s tightly knitted brows finally relaxed.
