Chapter 213: Tested by Future Mother-In-Law
Zi Yi was surprised when she received a call from Song Lingluo.
Song Lingluo said in a gentle tone, “Little Zi, we mentioned having tea together the previous time. Are you available today? Why don’t we have tea together?”
Zi Yi had guessed the reason for the invite and agreed to it.
The place Song Lingluo decided on was an antique tea house and there was also a troupe performance inside.
Zi Yi was directly led inside by Song Lingluo’s bodyguards when she arrived.
Looking at Song Lingluo, whose attention was on the performance, Zi Yi called out, “Sister Song.”
Song Lingluo heard Zi Yi’s voice and she felt mixed emotions.
She could not believe that the young lady she fancied at first sight was someone shrouded in rumors.
In the end, she decided to test out the young lady. If her personality turned out to be as it was rumored, she could only take on the role of an evil person and separate Zi Yi from her son.
Song Lingluo readjusted her mindset, turned towards Zi Yi, and waved at her. “Little Zi, come and take a seat.”
Zi Yi looked at Song Lingluo’s expression and walked over.
The tea and desserts had already been ordered and so the bodyguards left and closed the door.
Song Lingluo was suddenly glad that Zi Yi did not know who she was. She decided not to reveal her identity for the time being and pretended to casually ask, “You don’t seem like you’re from the capital? Where are you from?”
“S City.”
Song Lingluo nodded and changed the topic as she pointed at the performance downstairs. “Do you like watching Chinese Opera?”
Since she seemed to be unfamiliar with it, she most probably had no knowledge about Chinese Operas.
“I don’t mind.” Zi Yi lifted the teacup and took a sip before she started talking about the four greatest operas in the capital[1]. In the end, she added, “My favorite are national-themed operas which showcase the country and are also inspiring.”
Song Lingluo was surprised. “I didn’t expect Little Zi to be so knowledgeable on the four greatest operas in the capital.”
“I wouldn’t say that I’m knowledgeable. I only chanced upon the introduction of these operas in the past and felt interested, which led to looking up about them further and listening to the shows.”
Song Lingluo felt that Zi Yi was being modest, but she did not comment on it.
After listening to the opera for some time, Song Lingluo spoke up. “Why don’t we go shopping? I wish to get a few sets of jewelry and you can provide me with your opinions.”
Zi Yi nodded and said, “Sure.”
Thus, the two of them headed to the largest jewelry building.
Ordinary people were unable to afford the jewelry here and so, those who visited were all rich people.
Before they entered the building Song Lingluo suddenly wore sunglasses and said to her bodyguards, “Wait outside, I will head in with Little Zi.”
“Yes, Mrs. Lu.”
The bodyguards stopped and stood guard outside while Zi Yi and Song Lingluo entered together.
Zi Yi was not particularly interested in jewelry and had looked steadily forward as she tagged along with Song Lingluo throughout the entire journey.
They took the lift to the third floor. All the shops here were famous international jewelry brands.
Zi Yi asked, “Sister Song, do you have any shops you’re interested in checking out?”
Song Lingluo was a little embarrassed. “I seldom go out to buy jewelry and I’m not familiar with these shops.”
Zi Yi thought for a moment and said, “Then let’s head over to Lu Jewelry.”
“Why there?”
“They are also a famous international brand. Most importantly, all the new designs released every season are capable of driving the trends in the jewelry industry. Therefore, instead of purchasing from those who follow the trend, it’s better to buy from the trendsetter.”
Song Lingluo did not expect such an explanation from Zi Yi and had agreed with her opinion.
What’s even more important was that it was her son’s company.
And so, both of them entered Lu Jewelry.
Song Lingluo was a low-key person and Lu Group’s employee did not know who she was.
After they entered the shop, they were warmly received by the staff.
Song Lingluo had an appearance where she was unable to make up her mind.
Zi Yi spoke up at that time. “If you trust my tastes, I’ll help you pick a few sets.”
“Sure!”
Zi Yi quickly pointed to a few sets. After the staff brought out the items, Zi Yi signaled to Song Lingluo. “Sister Song, try it on.”
Song Lingluo nodded and started to try out the different pieces of jewelry.
Just then, three women entered the shop.
When they spotted Zi Yi, their expression instantly darkened.
