187: Large-scale social death scene

Li Jing walked into the room and went straight to the Bedroom where Chen Yuqing used to live. She pushed open the door and saw that the Bedroom was empty, causing her to frown involuntarily.

Li Jing muttered to herself, "Why is no one here? What did Yuqing go to do so early? Could she be staying in the same room as Yuxi?"

Thinking of this, she went to the door of Yuxi's Bedroom and pushed it open casually.

Seeing two people on the large bed in the Bedroom, she subconsciously assumed it was The two sisters sleeping together!

So she blurted out, "It's almost nine o'clock, and The two sisters are still sleeping in? You're both so grown up, why are you still sleeping together?"

Li Jing did not lower her voice, so both Lin Zifeng and Yuxi heard her.

The two who had just woken up were a bit groggy and both thought they had misheard!

They sat up almost simultaneously. Yuxi rubbed her eyes while looking at Lin Zifeng and asked, "Darling, did you hear that? Who is talking?"

Lin Zifeng looked at Yuxi, who was inches away, and said groggily, "I heard it too. I thought I had misheard!"

For a moment, neither of them noticed Li Jing standing at the doorway.

Li Jing was completely stunned. Her eyes widened, and she subconsciously wanted to scream, quickly covering her mouth with both hands, but she still made a sound.

Li Jing had never expected that the person sleeping with Yuxi was not Chen Yuqing, but a strange man.

She also never expected that her usually well-behaved youngest daughter had secretly been living with a man behind their backs.

She had not anticipated this at all, which explained her strong reaction.

Hearing the commotion at the doorway, Lin Zifeng and Yuxi both turned their heads toward the door. Seeing Li Jing standing there, they were dumbfounded, instantly losing the ability to think.

Li Jing finally reacted, quickly closed the Bedroom door, turned around, and walked rapidly toward the entrance.

As she placed her hand on the doorknob, she suddenly remembered—why was she in such a rush to leave? Shouldn't she get to the bottom of this?

Thinking of this, Li Jing turned back, went to the Living Room, sat on the sofa, and waited with somewhat chaotic emotions.

Meanwhile, the two in the Bedroom finally came back to their senses, and Lin Zifeng spoke first.

"Yuxi, what is going on? Who was that person just now? How did she have the keys to this place? And why did she appear here so suddenly? She gave me such a fright."

"Zifeng, that's my mom. Now I don't even have to go back for that vaccination; getting caught in bed by my mom is so embarrassing. Why did my mom show up so suddenly? This is so awkward."

Yuxi said, her face flushed with embarrassment, while frantically getting dressed.

"Ah! That's your mom? This is so unexpected."

Lin Zifeng was also panicking, and he started to get dressed quickly.

Being caught in bed by his future mother-in-law—this could be called a major social death scene.

After they were dressed, they straightened each other's clothes. Lin Zifeng spoke again, "Yuxi, since we've already been caught by your mother, let's face it together! We were planning to make our relationship public anyway, so let's go meet her calmly!"

"Mm, I'll listen to you, Zifeng."

Yuxi agreed obediently and took his hand.

The two smiled at each other, opened the door, walked out of the Bedroom together, and came before Li Jing.

Yuxi called out "Mom" timidly, while Lin Zifeng said very respectfully and politely, "Hello, Auntie."

Li Jing's eyes lit up as she looked at Lin Zifeng. She couldn't help but think, "This young man is really handsome, and he has a great demeanor!"

Standing next to her youngest daughter, they looked like a golden boy and jade girl—they were such a perfect match.

No wonder her well-behaved youngest daughter had secretly been living with him.

She just wondered if he was all looks and no substance; she would have to ask him properly in a moment.

Thinking of this, her expression softened, and she nodded, saying, "Sit down and let's talk!"

The two sat opposite Li Jing, who then asked again, "How long have you two been together? How long were you planning to keep this from us?"

"Mom, we've been together for almost three years, and it's always been a long-distance relationship. Zifeng only arrived in the provincial capital yesterday. We originally planned to go home in the next two days to make our relationship public. Zifeng proposed to me yesterday, and I accepted. We plan to get married within this year."

Yuxi said, telling the truth.

Hearing the name "Zifeng," Li Jing felt it sounded familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had heard it. This was because Yuxi hadn't used Lin Zifeng's full name.

"Young man, where are you from? Who else is in your family? What kind of work do you do?"

Li Jing asked, looking at Lin Zifeng.

"Mom, are you interrogating him?"

Hearing Li Jing ask several questions in a row, Yuxi said coquettishly.

Li Jing thought to herself, "Girls really do grow up and look outward! Nothing has even happened yet, and she's already protecting him!"

Lin Zifeng stopped her from saying more and said, "Auntie, I am from Yushu County, Chunhua City. Besides my parents and grandparents, my parents adopted a foster daughter last year. I work in a government department."

Yuxi held his arm with both hands and added, "Mom, you and Dad are not strangers to Zifeng. Doesn't My father often praise Zifeng for being outstanding at home? Zifeng is the County Head of Yushu County!"

Hearing what Yuxi said, Li Jing suddenly realized, filled with joy, and broke into a smile.

"You are that County Head of Yushu County, Lin Zifeng? Then I am really no stranger to you. After your uncle visited Yushu County for inspection, he often praised you for being outstanding at home. Yuxi used to say she was good friends with you; so that was just an excuse, and you two have been secretly dating all along?"

"Auntie, I am not as outstanding as Secretary Chen says. Yuxi and I did not intend to hide it from you. When Yuxi and I established our relationship, I was just a town Cadre. I didn't want others to suspect that my motives for being with Yuxi were impure. Choosing not to make our relationship public was my idea. I sincerely want to be with Yuxi and didn't want others to misunderstand anything."

Lin Zifeng took all the responsibility upon himself and quickly explained.

"Mom, this was also my idea. At the time when Zifeng and I established our relationship, I hadn't even graduated from university yet. I was afraid that you and My father wouldn't approve of us dating, so I chose to hide our relationship. This isn't Zifeng's fault."

Yuxi spoke up quickly to defend her lover.

Hearing what the two said, Li Jing, being in the system herself, understood Lin Zifeng's concerns. Lin Zifeng was afraid that others would say that he chose to be with Yuxi just to rely on Chen Yuanhua to advance his career.

Her daughter was only a junior in university at that time, so it was only natural to have such concerns.

Thinking of this, Li Jing said happily, "I understand your concerns. Fortunately, the outcome is good, and I hope you will always be happy. I believe Your Father will also raise both hands in approval."

Seeing that Li Jing had agreed to her being with Lin Zifeng as expected, Yuxi stood up happily and quickly came to Li Jing's side.

Hugging Li Jing's arm, she said with a full smile, "I knew Mom was the best."
