Chapter 1226: Chapter 1225: Bai Lan’s Past (3) Chapter 1226: Chapter 1225: Bai Lan’s Past (3) Zhou’s mother did not believe a single word Bai Lan said, having already made up her mind about the kind of woman she was.

“I don’t care whether you know it or not, I hope you stay away from Sheng Ting,” Zhou’s mother said coldly, “otherwise I will be unkind to you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, I’ve heard your parents are teachers?”

Zhou’s mother never fought a battle she wasn’t sure of winning; she had done her research thoroughly.

Bai Lan was stunned, never expecting Zhou’s mother to threaten her with such cruel words.

The woman before her was the mother of the man she loved. She could not disrespect her, at least out of basic politeness, even if the feeling was not mutual.

But now her heart felt as if it were stuffed with cotton, very uncomfortable.

“Auntie, Sheng Ting and I truly love each other. I did not know he had a quota to study abroad,” Bai Lan murmured.

Zhou Shengting was a very decisive person. Once he made up his mind, it was difficult to change it.

Why hadn’t he told her? Could it really be because he couldn’t let go of her? Was that why he didn’t plan to go abroad?

What a fool; as long as they truly loved each other, even if they were apart for a while, it wouldn’t reduce their love for each other at all.

She hoped that a relationship between lovers could be equal, where they could discuss anything with each other, rather than the current situation where she knew nothing and was kept in the dark, only to find out the truth through others.

Right now, she looked like a fool.

Zhou’s mother ignored everything Bai Lan had said, not believing a word from her.

Finally having caught her son, thinking about enjoying all the glory and riches in the future, how could she let go?

“Miss Bai, let me be frank with you. Even if you two are together, you will eventually separate. Our Zhou family cannot possibly take a daughter-in-law with your kind of family background. Sheng Ting was born with a golden key. The Zhou family has substantial assets which will all be entrusted to Sheng Ting in the future. He needs a wife who comes from a family as respectable as his. I believe he understands this himself. I guess being with you is just for fun. Don’t take it too seriously,” she said.

By the end, Zhou’s mother’s tone had shifted from threatening to sympathetic.

Her words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Bai Lan’s head, causing her heart to tremble involuntarily.

She still couldn’t believe that Zhou Shengting would treat her this way, seeing how attentively and affectionately he acted towards her normally, which didn’t seem insincere.

Bai Lan’s face was pale; with her limited experience, how could she possibly contend with Zhou’s mother?

She pursed her lips, remaining silent, but her hands under the table were clenched tightly, already turning somewhat white. She was exerting all her strength to keep herself under control.

She kept telling herself to stay calm, suspecting this was her mother-in-law’s tactic to provoke her. She continued to trust Zhou Shengting.

Eventually, Bai Lan seemed to regain her voice, then said, “Auntie, sorry to trouble you. I believe in Sheng Ting, and I hope you can trust your son not to be the kind of person who plays with feelings. As for his studying abroad, I really wasn’t aware. Thank you for telling me about it today. I understand what to do now. Don’t worry, he will go abroad eventually.”

After speaking, Bai Lan stood up, then took out a hundred yuan from her wallet, pressed it under a cup, and then bowed slightly to Zhou’s mother.

With Zhou’s mother’s eyebrows tightly furrowed, Bai Lan straightened her back and then walked out of the coffee shop.
