Chapter 990: 237: Astonishing Results

Shangguan Xi talked about having a boyfriend, and it really whet everyone’s appetite.

After a while, Shangguan Xi finally appeared with her boyfriend in front of everyone.

The young man looked spirited and was carrying both big and small packages in his hands.

Ni Cuihua stood up to take the items from him and smiled, “You didn’t have to bring anything!”

Shangguan Xi said, “I told him not to buy anything, but he insisted! By the way, Zuo Ling, this is my mom!”

Zuo Ling politely said, “Hello, Auntie.”

Upon hearing this, Ni Cuihua’s smile froze for a moment, then she quickly returned to normal, “Hello.”

Shangguan Xi continued to introduce, “This is my grandma, this is my maternal grandfather and grandmother, this is my dad, this is my aunt, this is my elder brother Shangguan Xu, this is my younger sister Yangyang, this is my sister’s boyfriend Mo Qishen, and this is my younger sister Yunyun.”

Zuo Ling greeted everyone one by one, “Hello everyone, I’m Zuo Ling, the ‘Zuo’ from ‘left’ and ‘Ling’ from ‘ridge’.”

Zuo Ling.

When this name was clearly heard, not only did Ni Cuihua’s face change slightly, but also the expressions of Elder Madame Shangguan, Shangguan Dehui, and Shangguan Xu.

Who was Zuo Ling?

Zuo Ling was the young man with seven older sisters!

But the Shangguan Family members were quite dignified and, despite having opinions, did not show it.

Elder Madame Shangguan took a sip of water, feeling quite uneasy; she had not expected Shangguan Xi to bring Zuo Ling back.

Hadn’t they broken up already?

“Please, have a seat,” Ni Cuihua called Zuo Ling to sit down.

Xu Lian, unaware of the situation, was quite satisfied with Zuo Ling’s appearance, “How old are you this year, Xiaozuo?”

Zuo Ling politely said, “Aunt, I’m 23 this year, and I was classmates with Xiaoxi.”

Xu Lian nodded, “I see, so you have started working as well?”

Zuo Ling replied, “Yes, Aunt, I have been working for over a year now. I’m currently the workshop director at Morning Light Group, earning a monthly salary of 130 yuan!” Having a decent job and being in a director position was Zuo Ling’s greatest pride.

Among over 50 classmates, Zuo Ling currently had the highest salary and the most prestigious position.

Thus, he had the capital to feel proud, and he could sense that the Shangguan family members had a very favorable impression of him.

Xu Lian smiled and said, “Very good, very good.” Being only 23 years old and capable of handling the job of a workshop director was indeed commendable; Xu Lian wasn’t someone who cared too much about matching social status, she just wanted Shangguan Xi to be happy.

Shangguan Furong joined in the conversation with a smile, “Xiaozuo, where are you from?”

“I’m from Beijing,” Zuo Ling continued, “I live right in the city center on Gillet Road. My parents are getting older, and I set aside 30 yuan from my salary every month to hire a nanny for them.”

Shangguan Furong nodded, “You are a good child with filial piety.”

After chit-chatting for a while, it was time to eat.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Zheng quietly tugged at Elder Madame Shangguan’s sleeve and whispered, “That young man Zuo Ling seems quite nice. Why do you look a bit unhappy?”

Zuo Ling had thick eyebrows and large eyes, very energetic, and he was also distinctive-looking, which was why he had caught Shangguan Xi’s eye.

Elder Madame Shangguan sighed, glancing towards the door, “Do you know who this Zuo Ling is?”

“Who?” Mrs. Zheng was baffled.

Elder Madame Shangguan continued, “He’s Xiaoxi’s ex-boyfriend, the one with seven older sisters!”

“What?” Mrs. Zheng looked surprised, “I thought they broke up? Why did she bring him back home?”

Elder Madame Shangguan frowned slightly, “Who knows what Xiaoxi is thinking!” Seeing Zuo Ling about to come into the kitchen to fetch dishes, Elder Madame Shangguan quickly added, “We’ll talk later, it’s not good to let others overhear.”

“Alright,” Mrs. Zheng nodded.

Mo Qishen was followed into the kitchen by Zuo Ling.

“Brother,” Zuo Ling tried to pat Mo Qishen on the shoulder but withdrew halfway because there was a significant height difference between them; Mo Qishen was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and he was just a bit taller than Shangguan Xi at 1.75 meters.

Zuo Ling jogged to keep up with Mo Qishen’s pace and whispered, “I heard you’ve been dating Xiaoxi’s younger sister for over a year, is that right?”

“Yes,” Mo Qishen nodded slightly, “That’s correct.”

Based on Shangguan Xi’s introduction, Mo Qishen currently did not have an official job, but whenever Zuo Ling saw Mo Qishen, he felt a wave of inexplicable inferiority and fear, constantly feeling less excellent than Mo Qishen.
