“Xinlei, what... What happened to you?”
Zhong Shenghao glanced at his mother. His initially relieved face now had a layer of worry.
His mother was amiable, but as a member of a wealthy family, he didn’t know if she had the thought of ‘being of equal status’.
In order not to break Xinlei’s good impression in his mother’s heart, Zhong Shenghao briefly explained her family’s situation.
However, compared to being of equal status, Xinlei’s family background was not bad.
“Mom, Xinlei’s parents were also businessmen in the past. Later... They both passed away due to an accident.”
Hearing this, Shu Yan was stunned. Only then did she realize that she had really said the wrong thing.
She quickly turned her head and pulled Jing Xinlei’s hand to comfort her. “Xinlei, Auntie didn’t mean it. I just... wanted to confirm your family. Okay --”
She wanted to say ‘good betrothal, arranged marriage’, but if she said this, would it scare her again?
