Chapter 203: Chapter 203 She Didn’t Take It Seriously

She did not address her as an in-law, the smile on her face was just right, without an excess of joy.

Lady Du stepped forward, affectionately taking her arm and said, "Ever since I got back, I’ve always wanted to invite you for tea, but I had to take care of Ruoxin in the hospital, and I simply haven’t had the time. You wouldn’t blame me for not visiting, would you?"

Rong’s mother slightly smiled, "How could I? By the way, how is Ruoxin doing now?"

Upon mentioning this, Lady Du looked saddened. She glanced at her and sighed, "She’s still in an unrousing coma. To think that my Ruoxin was about to marry Shaoze, and then such a piece of bad luck had to happen. Not to mention the unlikely chance of her awakening, the marriage is also off now. If she ever wakes up and learns about this, imagine how heartbroken she’ll be."

Rong’s mother’s eyes slightly flickered, and the smile at the corner of her mouth vanished.

She naturally understood what Lady Du was implying; she blamed Rong Shaoze for marrying another woman while Ruoxin lay unconscious.

Did she expect Shaoze to wait his entire life for Ruoxin to wake up?

Her daughter was no national beauty or royal princess.

Rong’s mother didn’t want to continue this topic and casually asked, "Is Lady Du also here to buy clothes?"

"Yes, I haven’t had time to go shopping since returning to the country. I realized today that I’m all out of new clothes to wear, so I hurried here to buy a few pieces."

As she spoke, Lady Du let go of her hand, picked up three pieces of clothes, and with a very meaningful smile asked her, "These are my choices, what do you think, are they nice?"

One of them was the red cheongsam that Rong’s mother had reserved.

As soon as she entered, she had overheard the store clerk’s words to Lady Du.

Knowing full well that she had reserved the dress, yet pretending to be oblivious in front of her, acting as if she knew nothing and even feigning to ask for her opinion on the clothes.

Her motive was clearly to purchase that cheongsam.

Rong’s mother gathered her exquisite hair and laughed, "Why don’t you pick a few more pieces? I’ll put them all on my account, consider it my treat."

Lady Du smiled embarrassedly, "How could I accept this?"

"You’re too polite, Lady Du, just a few pieces of clothing," Rong’s mother smiled faintly, meaning that it was just clothing, and she didn’t consider it a big deal.

Lady Du seemed not to catch her drift and cheerfully picked a few more pieces, all of which were paid for by Rong’s mother.

"Since we’ve met like this, why don’t we go and have a casual meal together?" Elated from getting the clothes, Lady Du also took this opportunity to invite Rong’s mother to chat.

"Not today, some other time. I’ll host another day and invite you to our house. In a while, I need to go help Shaoze; I really can’t get away."

The mention of Rong Shaoze seemed to Lady Du as though her own son was being discussed; her interest was piqued.

"What does Shaoze need help with that you have to assist him? I’m not busy today, why don’t I join you? An extra person means extra help."

Rong’s mother smiled slightly, "It’s Xinlan who is pregnant, the first child, and it’s the first three months, so she needs careful nurturing. Shaoze lacks experience, so I’m going to oversee and remind them of some precautions. You know how it is, young people can be careless, and sometimes they might inadvertently harm the child without even realizing it."

Lady Du’s smile instantly froze on her face, and her complexion turned from pale to green, looking utterly peculiar.

"Hehe, I see. Well, I won’t disturb you then, I’ll leave first."
