Chapter 180 In the Rain
Madam Yao whispered to her daughter, "The man who just came in was Sheng Yang, right?"
"Didn't you say you had never seen him?"
"Actually, I've seen him many years ago. Because of you, I saw him from a distance on some occasion, but he seemed... different from before."
“After getting married and becoming a father, life is definitely different from when I was in my early twenties,” said Fiona.
"When a man reaches a certain age and has gained experience, his temperament becomes more outstanding." Mrs. Yao said, "Now I regret opposing you."
"Oh, why did mother suddenly have such an idea? That's not what you said at the beginning. You keep harping on the past of other people's parents." Fiona said lightly.
"Isn't it because you'll be thirty in a month?" Madam Yao whispered, "After the party, I think you two can catch up on the past.
If you really don't find someone you like, you can reconsider him in the future.
Since you can't let it go."
Fiona was furious at her mother's words: "I do have feelings for him, but I admire his kindness and loyalty!
My mother also knows that in our society, if a man is even a little bit affectionate, he will be praised as ten times, and people will even write a story about it.
But Sheng Yang never pretended to be affectionate, and he never even tried to make excuses. But I know he did a lot of things, and he never gave up.
What happened to him...the twists and turns and absurdity involved are probably only known to a few people.
I asked my father to help him at that time—not because of past affection, but to fulfill his duty! "
Mrs. Yao was left speechless after hearing her daughter's remarks.
Fiona and her mother left before the cocktail party was over.
Every big family may have one or two people who like to live in the spotlight, but it is obvious that Fiona is not one who likes to live in the spotlight.

In the evening, Sheng Yinlan came back from the company and got up to brush her teeth after seeing Xu Xiling.
Although the two live under the same roof, their relationship has degenerated into that of "neighbors."
Xu Xiling: "Are you back?"
Sheng Yinlan: "Yeah."
Xu Xiling: "Was it Shaohua who sent me back yesterday?"
Sheng Yinlan: "Yes, he is still here drinking tea, waiting for Teacher Tina to get off work together."
"I've guessed it a long time ago - Shaohua is interested in that teacher Tina." Xu Xiling said with a smile while holding the toothbrush cup.
Sheng Yinlan stopped and turned back: "Oh, what did you say?"
"Nothing, just a man's intuition. Back then, Shaohua and Anna had a falling out, and the story was all over the place. Anna, relying on her family background, was so willful that she spread the story about Shaohua everywhere. I think Shaohua was tortured by that incident and was almost mentally and physically impotent. He hasn't had a serious girlfriend in all these years."
"That's right. It's not completely impossible to have a healthy baby with asthenospermia. In fact, Anna probably didn't want to get married at that time." Sheng Yinlan agreed.
"So, the tomboy teacher probably has a chance with Shaohua. It also happens to match Shaohua's feminine style. I think they are quite suitable. I heard Shaohua say that he was pursuing Tina before, but Tina didn't agree yet."
"No wonder, I felt the same thing yesterday. It's okay... let's create some opportunities for them. Actually... I think that although Teacher Tina seems a little aloof, she's a good person and works seriously."
"Well, I met Shaohua's mother a few days ago. The old lady kept talking about Shaohua's marriage. The relationship between the Xu and Mo families is obvious, and Shaohua and I are childhood friends. We have to help with this matter!"
Sheng Yinlan and Xu Xiling's idea was purely the awakening of some kind of middle-aged love for matchmaking.
When people reach a certain age, they like to match people up.
This is not false at all.
Soon Xiang Ran also realized that Sheng Yinlan and Xu Xiling were trying to match Mo Shaohua and herself.
For example, when the Xu family members go on activities such as camping or barbecue by the lake, they will also invite her and Mo Shaohua.
For this purpose, she specifically discussed this matter with Mo Shaohua.
Mo Shaohua explained that this rumor could help Xu Xiling avoid suspicion on the one hand, and on the other hand it was also true.
So he doesn't need to deliberately distance himself from it.

The end of the year is coming soon.
The weather got colder and Sheng Songxuan fell ill.
It is said that on his day off, Sheng Yang took his child and the nanny to the mall and sweated a little. The child came back with a fever at night.
At first, we thought the fever was caused by a cold, and the doctor treated it as a cold. However, the next afternoon, the child began to vomit frequently, and a stool test revealed that it was a rotavirus infection.
This made the Sheng family very worried.
The little guy would vomit immediately after eating, and after a few days, he became so thin that he was unrecognizable.
Aunt Gao was the first to fall ill from being exhausted by the children, and then Xiaofu also caught a cold.
So for several consecutive nights, Sheng Yang personally took his son to sleep.
Such a young child, if he is not feeling well, will definitely cling to adults.
At night, Sheng Yang held his son in his arms and hardly slept.
I’m afraid that if I make a mistake, I won’t be able to explain myself.
Feed water regularly and change clothes soiled by vomit.
He does it all himself.
After a few days, Sheng Songxuan's condition improved a lot. He vomited less often, but he felt weak and frail.
Although this disease is painful for babies, it is a disease that can heal itself.
-
Aunt Zhang from the Xu family was an experienced nanny who had taken care of Lele and Beibei before.
When Sheng Yinlan heard about this, she asked someone to take Song Xuan to Xu's house during the day and send the child back at night.
That day, Xiao Chen had something to do, so Sheng Yang drove over to pick up his son himself.
It's just that he had a sudden meeting in the evening and didn't arrive at Xu's house until after nine o'clock.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw someone just walking out of the gate.
The man was holding a long-handled black umbrella, and there seemed to be another figure beside him.
"Mr. Sheng! Long time no see."
The man raised a corner of the umbrella, and Sheng Yang caught a glimpse of Mo Shaohua's face.
He nodded as a response.
Because he was eager to pick up his child, he walked straight in.
"Mr. Sheng!" Unexpectedly, Mo Shaohua called him again.
Sheng Yang turned around.
Mo Shaohua took off his jacket with one hand and covered the head of the person next to him with it.
He walked forward quickly and handed the umbrella in his hand to Sheng Yang - "Mr. Sheng is here to pick up the child, right? This is the umbrella on the umbrella stand inside, please take it first."
Sheng Yang held the umbrella handle in his hand and saw Mo Shaohua reach out and gently place his hand on the back of the person next to him, then jump into the drizzle.
Slightly absent-minded.
Because it feels strange.
He had just exchanged glances with Mo Shaohua on the steps.
There is not much conflict of interest between the two, nor is there any specific friendship.
But there was an indescribable weirdness in Mo Shaohua's eyes.
