As she thought of this, Sophia felt a little helpless. It seemed that she regarded John as her friend more
than anything else. People were always emotionless towards each other, and if they just faded away, it
would be very difficult for them to restore their relationship. She knew this and also knew how to
cherish fate. She had been persistent and strived for John, but only to be exhausted as a result.
"John, there are many good girls in the world and you don't need to waste time on me. I think the best
relationship between us is to be friends."
"Why? Didn't you break up with Lucas?" An expression of sadness flashed across John's face. She
shook her head, "it has nothing to do with Lucas. I don't think we are right for each other."
"We were born together. If we were not the right one for each other, then there would be no other
suitable man in the world."
"John." She looked at him, with a bitter smile at the corners of her mouth. "Whether I am suitable or not
has nothing to do with time. It is a matter of character and family. Your family will not accept me. If you
want to make a choice between your family and me, you must give up me."
This words hit John's heart. His eyes moved slightly and there was a guilty look in his eyes. He said,
"my mother has agreed to let us go. There is no obstacle."
"Really?" She smiled coldly. "How about asking your mother out for a meal later to ask her?" Perhaps
only in this way could John really give up.
"Okay. I'll call my mother now. If she's okay with it, you can't refuse me again." There was a glimmer of
hope in the smile of Viola.
She nodded. She knew very well that unless the sun rose in the west, the moon fell in the East, or she
would become a daughter of a rich family in one go. Otherwise, the snobbish Mrs. Xu would never
accept her.
Hearing that her son would invite her for dinner, Mrs. Xu came to the shop selling beef in high spirits.
Her face darkened as soon as she saw Sophia.
"Why are you here?" She pouted with anger.
"Mrs. Xu, the beef steak here are very delicious, so John and I specially invited you to eat some." "Do
you have any idea about this?". Mrs. Xu frowned, "beef steak is good, but the people who eat together
with me is too low, which makes me lose my appetite."
"Mom, are you talking about me?" John frowned in displeasure. Seeing his mother's face, he felt like
having met Siberia, where the extreme cold air was suddenly frozen.
"You are my son. How could I blame you?" Mrs. Xu waved her hand and cast a sidelong glance at her.
"Mom..." John looked at her with a pleading expression in his eyes. And Sophia took a sip of tea slowly
and smiled slightly, "Mrs. Xu, are you talking about me? To be honest, I have seen some places these
days, such as the kindness of a real estate king, the modesty of a jewelry tycoon, and the refinement of
a country. I feel really unaccustomed to sit face to face with you. "
Mrs. Xu's face twitched with anger. She had never expected that Miss Sophia would talk back to her.
Much to her surprise, she jeered at her in a straightforward way.
John was shocked too. He had long been used to her tolerance.
Unfortunately, she was not who she used to be. Now she knew better about the saying, "a tamed horse
is often ridden." so she took everything from others.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you contradict me?" Mrs. Xu pounded the table hard and raised
her voice. "I just don't like your obscenity. You have no right to have dinner with me and I will never
allow you to be with my son either."
All the people in the restaurant looked back.
Sophia deliberately stood up and poured a cup of tea for her respectfully. "Mrs. Xu, everyone is
laughing at you. You are a golden honored figure. Don't lose your identity." The voice was so low that
only the people on the table could hear it.
"You..." Mrs. Xu's face flushed with shyness and anger. She was too embarrassed to say a word for a
long time. In Mrs. Xu's eyes, Sophia was nothing but a pushover. She could bully her as she liked. But
Sophia dared not complain at all. She had never expected that Sophia was so good at martial arts.
At this moment, Sophia even personally cut the beef steak into small pieces and put them in front of
Mrs. Xu. "Mrs. Xu, hurry up to eat. The beef steak will taste bad if it is cold." Her face was full of smile,
but her eyes were fierce, which made Mrs. Xu fear.
The crowd started to whisper.
"Now that her son has found such a great girlfriend, what else can she be unsatisfied with?"
"I've never met such a weird woman like her."
"She looks like a grandma. If I were her, I would have kicked her son and let him remain single all his
life."
Some of their discussions reached the ears of John and his mother.
Mrs. Xu was trembling with anger. Putting his hands on his head, he regretted having asked his mother
to come.
"John, tell me the truth. Is she here to bother you again?" After that, she pulled out her son's sword.
Holding the sword in her hand, she was afraid that Sophia would kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Mom, didn't you say that you wouldn't interfere with my business?" John had an impulse to cry.
"If she was born a rich family, I won't interfere. If it is her, I will definitely not allow you to be in a
relationship with her." Mrs. Xu's tone was very firm. She had no idea that her words had pushed her
son into the abyss.
Sophia curled her lips into a sarcastic smile.
"John, now you see it? I'm leaving now. " She stood up and smiled at Mrs. Xu, "please enjoy yourself."
Then she strode away.
"Sophia!" "Let her go. If you dare to chase her out, I'll die in front of you," said Mrs. Xu, gritting her teeth
"Mom, please, don't push me anymore." John tried to push her mother's hand away, but unexpectedly,
her mother took the fork and stabbed it into her own arm.
"Mother..." shouted John, as he grabbed her wrist and the fork from her hand, "well, well, I won't go
with her. I won't go with her anyway, okay?" He sat back on the floor helplessly.
Said Mrs. Xu, with a smile on her face. How could she bear to hurt herself? She just pretended to scare
her son. After all, the trick always works.
At this time, Sophia did not go far. Standing in front of the French window of the restaurant, she saw
clearly what had happened just now. She smiled sadly and the last attachment for John, like
indifference, floated away.
When she arrived at the apartment and saw Jay, a rage rose to her head.
"Oh, my God! Do you think I'm not so unlucky and miserable enough? And you're calling John to irritate
me again!"
Jay pressed her shoulder and consoled her, "don't worry, Sophia. I have a good news to tell you. It's a
big secret. Lucas is doomed this time."
