Chapter 1234: Chapter 1233: Unwelcome Chapter 1234: Chapter 1233: Unwelcome Confused. “Mom, we’re back,” Zhou Shengting announced upon reaching the living room, the first to greet.

Bai Lan quickly followed with greetings, “Auntie, Uncle, hello.”

Her voice was soft and gentle, tinged with nervousness.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were chatting. Today, both were at home.

Upon hearing their voices, Mrs. Zhou turned around and was taken aback to see Zhou Shengting and Bai Lan.

Then her eyebrows furrowed, this… this wasn’t that…

A sense of alarm gripped Mrs. Zhou’s heart, that woman was a persistent ghost, when had she latched onto Sheng Ting again?

But the older the ginger, the spicier it is. She managed to keep a composed face and smilingly said, “Back already? I’ll have our housekeeper prepare lunch.”

“Great, Dad, Mom, this is my girlfriend Bai Lan,” Zhou Shengting introduced them.

Bai Lan also quickly did a slight bow in greeting.

Zhou’s father responded with a smiling face, “Come, come, come over for tea and fruit.”

Mrs. Zhou offered a faint smile, somewhat distantly, and said nothing more.

Bai Lan handed over the gifts she brought, which delighted Mr. Zhou. He kept saying, “You shouldn’t have.”

Mrs. Zhou took the gifts and casually placed them on the nearby sofa, then went to the kitchen.

Bai Lan’s eyes dimmed a bit at Mrs. Zhou’s reaction.

Indeed, she was still unsatisfied with her.

But dissatisfaction is something deeply rooted, and Bai Lan felt powerless to change it.

After all, one cannot choose their own background.

She knew she was seen as unworthy of Zhou Shengting in the eyes of his mother.

Zhou Shengting saw it all and comforted her by patting her shoulder, then pulled her to sit down on the couch.

Zhou Shengting felt somewhat guilty; it was his fault for not having communicated with his parents beforehand, which led to Bai Lan being wronged.

His mother’s reaction was somewhat unexpected to him because she had recently been urging him to find a girlfriend, even suggesting she could introduce him to the daughter of a family associate.

Zhou Shengting feared his mother’s meddling in his love life, so he had hurriedly brought Bai Lan home to reassure them and to prevent further matchmaking attempts.

Yet her reaction had not been what he expected; she didn’t know Bai Lan at all, so why such an attitude?

During the meal, Mrs. Zhou remained distant, fortunately Zhou Shengting was very attentive, continuously serving dishes to help.

This made Bai Lan feel somewhat better, otherwise, enduring the cold treatment continuously would have been unbearable.

Bai Lan struggled through the meal, its flavor lost on her.

After eating, Zhou Shengting said they had other matters to attend to, and so he and Bai Lan bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Zhou.

Leaving the Zhou house and stepping outside, Bai Lan felt the air was fresher.

The atmosphere had been too stifling; she felt like she couldn’t breathe.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Bai Lan gazed out the window, her heart still heavy.

Zhou Shengting glanced at her, then pulled her in for a hug, “I’m sorry for what you went through today, I had no idea my mom would act this way.”

“It’s okay, it’s probably because I’m not good enough that Auntie doesn’t like me,” Bai Lan said, blaming herself.

“No, you are great. Don’t take this to heart; I’ll talk to her and make things clear,” Zhou Shengting felt it was necessary to clarify the situation.

Bai Lan frowned slightly, afraid of making things worse, “But…”

“Trust me, I know what I’m doing,” Zhou Shengting now controlled Zhou Corporation, everything was within his grasp.

Bai Lan nodded, still feeling uncertain about the future.
