Liu Jieru pursed her lips, but she still did not choose to reveal her mother's embarrassment. "Okay, I will call Baozhu now, but she may have to go to class tomorrow and may not have time to go out with us. I also have to go to work."

"That's right...tomorrow is Monday...look at my memory...then...how about tomorrow at noon, when you are free at noon? I'll treat you to a meal outside?"

Mother Liu's sudden enthusiasm and change surprised Liu Jieru. Her eyes fell on the Opal brooch on the other person's chest, "This is it?"

"What do you mean? Your dad bought this for me...does it look good?"

"It looks good, Mom. This is more suitable for you than a jade bracelet."

As soon as Liu Jieru finished speaking, Mother Liu's expression changed, "Ahem...what, that thing was worn by your uncle for me to play with, and I have already returned it to him."

"Ah."

"Then you're busy, I'm going to see if the food is ready? Remember to tell Baozhu..."

Mother Liu almost ran away in a hurry. She felt that her daughter had really changed.

She is no longer the good girl who obeys her words, but becomes more and more like Xia Baozhu...

"Auntie wants to treat us to dinner? Also wants to take us shopping?"

When Xia Baozhu received the call, she thought there was something wrong with her ears. It was red rain falling from the sky. Mother Liu, who had always disliked her, took the initiative to invite them to eat and go shopping together.

"Well, I think she really wants to date you, how about... you just treat me as a favor?"

"Okay, I won't give anyone's face, but my sister's face will definitely be given. Then I will come out after class tomorrow morning and we will meet on the road?"

"Okay, I'll meet you at Renmin intersection then."

Her mother is willing to ease the relationship with Baozhu, and Liu Jieru is naturally happy to see it happen.

We are all a family. No matter what misunderstandings there were before, it would be great to reconcile.

"Your aunt said she wanted to go shopping with us? Does she have anything to do with us?"

When Zhang Yuping heard that Liu's mother actually asked to eat and go shopping with them, her first reaction was that she had heard wrong.

Since the first day she returned to the Liu family, the hostility expressed by this sister-in-law towards her has always been undisguised. The other party does not like her sister-in-law who suddenly appeared, let alone her two children.

This kind of displeasure was extremely obvious last time when the old man suddenly proposed to divide the property.

Now the other party's sudden show of kindness made her a little confused.

"I heard from Sister Jieru that she just wants to express friendship with us."

"A friendly gesture?"

This reason makes Zhang Yuping feel even more strange...

She didn't think there was anything about herself that would make the other person suddenly express friendly feelings.

"You can come as you wish. If you want to go, let's go have a meal with her. If you don't want to go, just push it away and I can go there by myself. After all, I still have to give Sister Jieru her face. .”

If it weren't for Liu Jieru, she really didn't want to sit down and eat with her aunt, because she would have indigestion.

"Then I'll go with you!"

Zhang Yuping would definitely not let her daughter face it alone, so she immediately agreed.

After class the next morning, as soon as Xia Baozhu walked out of the school gate, she saw Zhang Yuping waiting at the door.

The other party is completely different from when she was in Licheng County. The past two months in the capital have made her a lot fatter and paler. She is wearing a well-fitting shirt with a navy blue umbrella skirt underneath. At first glance, she does not look like a mother of two children, but a professional woman in her early 30s.

Besides, her facial features were pretty good to begin with, so just by standing at the school gate, she really attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Hello, are you the new teacher in our school? You look quite unfamiliar to me..."

Someone really mustered up the courage to come forward and ask her about her identity. Zhang Yuping looked at the gentle man in front of her, her face turned red instantly, and she quickly waved her hand to deny, "No, no, I...I'm not from this school...I Come and wait for my daughter..."

"Your daughter?! Your daughter is studying here?"

"Yes! My daughter is a student at the University of Washington! Her grades are very good!"

As soon as she mentioned her daughter, more than half of the embarrassment on Zhang Yuping's face disappeared, her eyes lit up, and she looked proud.

"I'm sorry...I really didn't see it...Looking at your age, I thought you were two years younger than me...I didn't expect your daughter to have already gone to college..."

When the other party heard what she said, he looked a little embarrassed and explained a few words with a smile.

"mom!"

Xia Baozhu came over at this time. As soon as Zhang Yuping heard her daughter's voice, she immediately raised her head and responded in surprise, "Baozhu! Are you out of class?!"

"Ah."

Xia Baozhu walked to the other party's side in three or two steps, and her eyes fell on the man beside her mother, with a look of surprise on her face, "Teacher Bai?"

"Xia Baozhu? This...is this your mother?"

Bai Ruolin looked at the mother and daughter standing together and could hardly imagine that they were not sisters but mother and daughter.

"Yes... what are you doing?"

"I just saw your mother and thought she was the new teacher in our school, but she turned out to be your mother... Your mother looked really young. If I hadn't said anything, I would have thought she was your sister."

Bai Ruolin pushed up his glasses and smiled a little shyly.

"This...you...you are Baozhu's teacher...this is such a coincidence...this child usually gives you a lot of trouble."

Mother and daughter have been separated for more than ten years, and Zhang Yuping has always regretted that she was absent from every step of her child's growth.

This is the first time I have had this kind of opportunity to communicate with my children’s teachers.

She wants to try her best to behave appropriately and well, and she wants to leave a good impression in front of her children's teachers.

"You're welcome. Classmate Xia Baozhu is very outstanding and is a popular figure in our department... As a teacher, I have heard of her excellence a long time ago. I am honored to be her teacher."

"No...that's not the case...you can't say that!"

This was the first time that Zhang Yuping spoke to someone in such a formal manner, and when she heard the other person praising her daughter, she felt really excited for a moment.

"Are you going out?"

Bai Ruolin noticed the other party's embarrassment, so he thoughtfully changed the topic and turned to ask Xia Baozhu who was standing aside.

"Well, we made an appointment with my family for lunch. By the way, Teacher Bai, we have classes in the afternoon. Can I go home directly? I wrote a request for leave before and asked Mengmeng and the others to give it to you in the afternoon."

Bai Ruolin was not only her professional course teacher, but also her class tutor. She had originally asked Wang Mengmeng and the others to help tell her about her not staying on campus for the past two nights, but she met him outside.
