The car slowly drove into the basement of the shopping mall. Murong Tianjiao was still a little confused when he got out of the car.

Although she had not gone out to eat with Murong Xue many times, she had the impression that Murong Xue did not like this kind of restaurant in the shopping mall.

Compared to eating with others in a public area, Murong Xue prefers to enjoy the privacy and quietness of a private room.

Murong Tianjiao couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to eat here?"

She just asked a normal question, but Murong Xue frowned and her tone became stern: "Is there any problem here?"

"It seems that you live too well and don't even look down on places like this."

Murong Tianjiao was stunned and said quickly: "That's not what I meant..."

Before she finished her words, Murong Xue had already stepped forward and walked out, with no intention of listening to her explanation.

Murong Tianjiao could only shut his mouth and follow Murong Xue's footsteps silently.

It was dinner time and the mall was bustling with people. The floor they were on was the dining area, and they could more or less smell the aroma of food every time they passed a store.

Murong Tianjiao followed Murong Xue, and as they walked, the waiter stuffed his arms with flyers.

In such a crowded environment, Murong Tianjiao was already very nervous, and when he was stuffed with flyers, his hands and feet became stiff, and he could only choose to take it.

Murong Xue turned around and saw her holding a bunch of colorful flyers, her expression visibly unhappy.

She said coldly, "If someone gives you a flyer, will you accept it? You won't refuse it?"

Murong Tianjiao pursed her lips. She opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but no word came out of her throat.

Seeing her dull appearance, Murong Xue became even more disappointed. She shook her head and sighed, "How could I have a daughter like you?"

This sentence made Murong Tianjiao's vision almost blurred. She held the flyer tightly. The hard coated paper cut into her palms, as if it would cut all her bones.

Don't take your mother's words to heart, don't be sad for someone who doesn't love you - even if you remind yourself so in your heart, Murong Tianjiao still feels painful when she is told so in public by the person who should be closest to her.

"I..." Her lips trembled as she managed to squeeze out syllables, "I don't think it's a big deal."

She spoke vaguely and softly, so Murong Xue didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

Honestly speaking, just opening her mouth took up most of Murong Tianjiao's courage. When she heard Murong Xue say that, she felt as if her spine had been pulled out in an instant, and she couldn't even stand steadily.

However, she thought of Ouyang Wushuang, Gu Qinghuan, and Fang Wanfu...her friends, and she suddenly felt a surge of strength in her heart.

"I say!" Murong Tianjiao raised his voice, "Catching a few flyers is nothing! I didn't catch a bomb!"

Several people passing by were attracted by her words and burst into laughter, thinking that the way this girl spoke was really funny.

However, when this laughter fell into Murong Xue's ears, it became a mockery.

There was anger in her eyes: "What are you doing——"

"Tianjiao!" A figure passed Murong Xue and threw himself on Murong Tianjiao, greeting him warmly and cheerfully, "Good afternoon! Are you coming out to eat too?"

The familiar voice stabilized Murong Tianjiao's shaky courage.

"Monitor," she said, not realizing that there was a hint of tears in her voice, "Good afternoon."

Gu Qinghuan took advantage of the blind spot of Murong Xue's vision and patted Murong Tianjiao's back vigorously, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

She loosened her hand, took out the crumpled flyers from Murong Tianjiao's palm, and then held Murong Tianjiao's hand.

Murong Xue was very dissatisfied with the girl who suddenly appeared and interrupted her, but she still needed to maintain her image in front of other children.

The two emotions collided with each other, causing her expression to be very strange: "Is he Tianjiao's friend?"

Gu Qinghuan turned around and said to Murongxue with a smile: "Hello, Auntie, I am a classmate of Tianjiao, my name is Gu Qinghuan."

She looked behind Murong Xue again: "This is our school's senior, Bai Hanshan, who has graduated this year."

Bai Hanshan then came over and greeted politely but coldly: "Hello."

Before, Gu Qinghuan asked Bai Hanshan for help, so naturally he had to give something in return, so he invited him out for a meal, using the group purchase coupon that Gu Qinghuan had snatched.

Unexpectedly, while I was waiting to buy drinks, I saw Murong Xue and Murong Tianjiao walking over.

Just as Gu Qinghuan was about to say hello, she heard Murong Xue scolding Murong Tianjiao.

From a friend's perspective, perhaps she should have stepped forward to help at that time, but when she noticed that Murong Tianjiao had the courage to fight back, she stopped again.

Blindly protecting cannot promote Murong Tianjiao's growth, it's good enough now.

So, seeing that Murong Xue was about to say something even more outrageous, Gu Qinghuan ran over.

Murong Xue didn't know Bai Hanshan, but the latter had handled so many affairs and his temperament didn't seem like a student who had just graduated from high school at all.

The name Gu Qinghuan sounded somewhat familiar to her. She vaguely remembered Tang Shunning mentioning that she was the monitor of Murong Tianjiao's class and seemed to be quite popular.

"Hello," Murong Xue responded somewhat stiffly, "Are you guys coming out for dinner?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect to run into Tianjiao, what a coincidence." Gu Qinghuan said, "Auntie, are you Tianjiao's mother?"

"I am." Murong Xue nodded slightly.

"Oh," Gu Qinghuan blinked, "I really can't tell."

Bai Hanshan wanted to grin but held it back. The phrase "I can't tell" was really interesting.

Murong Xue felt that there was something wrong with these words. Was it saying that she was very young and did not look like a mother, or that she and Murong Tianjiao did not look like mother and daughter?

Or maybe... what she did was not like that of a mother?

She looked at Gu Qinghuan's innocent expression and finally concluded that she was overthinking.

"By the way, I just heard Tianjiao talking about leaflets and bombs. What's going on?" Gu Qinghuan asked.

Murong Xue had originally put the matter behind her, but when Gu Qinghuan brought it up, she became angry again.

She said unhappily, "It's those flyers that the store clerk stuffed in. She's already grown up, but she can't refuse these junk ads. It's really outrageous."

Noticing that the hand he was holding was tightening, Gu Qinghuan secretly shook Murong Tianjiao's hand again, and then said in confusion: "It's not a big deal, right?"

She looked up at Murong Xue and said sincerely, "I think it's better for you not to get angry over such a small matter, Auntie."

"There are so many things in life that don't go your way. If you keep getting angry, it's not good for your health."

Bai Hanshan pinched his own hand to suppress his smile.

This is completely saying that Murong Xue is petty and making a big deal out of nothing, right?
