Witty Wife, Better Life

Chapter 872: Chapter 863 Li Shichen

Seeing her daughter downhearted, Shen Yunfang nodded in satisfaction and cleared her throat slightly, ready to change the subject, “I heard your brother is seeing someone?”

Manman was still wallowing in self-pity and was startled by her mother’s sudden question, “Mom, you’re like a psychic, how do you know about that?” She was genuinely surprised as she had only just found out herself, wondering how her mother could know such things.

Shen Yunfang pursed her lips, “It’s not me being psychic. That girl is going around telling everyone that she and your brother are discussing marriage. Since he’s my son, and he’s getting married, as his mother, I should show some concern, shouldn’t I?” It wasn’t that she wanted to pry into her children’s affairs; it was just that people had been bringing it up directly to her, and she couldn’t pretend to be unaware even if she tried.

Manman’s eyes widened even more, a look of complete bewilderment on her face, “Why would she say that? Didn’t she just meet my brother recently?”

“What do you think?” Shen Yunfang felt her daughter sometimes really missed the mark, nimble and smart usually, but occasionally so clueless. Just like that, if she didn’t find her someone reliable early on, how could she, as a mother, rest easy?
