Chapter 431: The Neighbor Miss Knocks on the Door

"Leave? What leave?"

Zhu Qingyue initially did not grasp the meaning behind her mother's words until she confirmed that her mother meant it literally, which made her laugh involuntarily.

"Really, Mom, you love to joke. Leave you? After everything, where could I possibly go?"

"What if," the skeleton-like woman in the quilt, resembling a monster, rasped, "what if you find friends, or a man, in the future?"

"That's a matter for the future."

Zhu Qingyue answered, but what she thought to herself was: how could she possibly meet them?

Mom stared at her for a while, and it took a long time before she was willing to let go of her hand.

"True. With the state you're in now, it's absolutely impossible to find someone willing to be with you."

Her thoughts were seen through.

But even though Zhu Qingyue herself deep down felt the same, hearing her mother talk as if pronouncing a judgment on her life was still incredibly annoying.
