Ordinary people always fantasize about financial freedom, beautiful women, luxury cars, yachts... However, compared to all these material things, Chu Fang desires a sincere relationship even more, ...
Um?
Chu Fang looked at his mother: "What's the nickname?"
"I don't remember." Chu's mother raised her chin, striking a proud pose.
"...How can you tell me?"
"They told me everything that happened between the two of you."
"become!"
Anyway, I've already given up, so it doesn't matter.
After a moment of contemplation, Chu's mother said, "A national-level argumentative expert, a cute puppy with a face thicker than a city wall, a cosmic-level master of empty promises, my boyfriend, Zhong Tingyue's boyfriend."
“... ..."
Arguing for the sake of arguing? No, that's my pursuit of truth.
Shameless? No, I'm actually quite shy.
Making empty promises? Where did I make empty promises? Whether it's a villa, a luxury car, or a famous watch, I can buy it if I want to; I'm just being low-key.
Apart from the last sentence where Chu Fang agrees, everything else is pure nonsense.
"Alas!" Chu Fang sighed sadly, his heart deeply wounded.
I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch.
Chu Fang put aside her broken heart and immediately told her mother everything about the two of them, from their first meeting to their falling in love... until today.
After listening, Chu's mother pursed her lips: "A CEO goes undercover in another company to pursue the girl he loves. Even though they are in love, he doesn't dare to tell her about his wealth. What a melodramatic plot."
Immediately noticing a hint of grievance in her son's heart, Chu's mother walked in front of him, covered Chu Fang's face with her hands, and said with bright eyes, "But Mommy is very happy, my dear son finally has a girl he loves."
Chu Fang's grievances vanished completely, and he then asked, "What is your impression of Zhong Tingyue?"
Love is not just a matter between two people, but also a union of two families, so Chu Fang needs to consult his mother's opinion.
"Hmm..." Upon hearing this, Chu's mother tilted her head, as if deep in thought. "Good, no, very good. I like her."
After receiving her mother's reply, Chu Fang finally felt relieved.
With Chu's mother's support, Zhong Tingyue's path to marriage is now unobstructed. Next, Chu will need to win over Zhong Tingyue's parents and obtain their permission. Once both sets of parents meet and visit each other, they can discuss the marriage, get married, and enter the bridal chamber.
That's considered a done deal.
Hmm... ...thinking about these things now is a bit too hasty.
Chu Fang shook his head, clearing the inexplicable thought from his mind, and turned his attention to the events of tonight: "Now that you know everything, why don't you tell Zhong Tingyue?"
"Never mind." Mother Chu shook her head. "My little sister values your relationship more than I imagined. She's keeping it a secret just so she can meet us more often. Let's not disturb her plans. I believe our next meeting will be even better. Let's leave the suspense for next time."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "The show goes on as usual. She calls you boyfriend, you call her aunt, you call me mom, I call her little sister, and she calls me older sister. Hehe, it's quite interesting."
“... ..."
Looking at his mother, who was already completely immersed in the role, Chu Fang looked helpless.
What did he do to deserve this?
Tonight, the mother and son had an open and honest conversation that lasted until late into the night.
In the bedroom, the moonlight cast a silvery-white glow, incredibly gentle.
On the bed, Chu Fang tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When he closed his eyes, a face appeared in the darkness before him—the face of a clown.
After chatting with his mother, he realized how ignorant he had been.
So, from the moment I got off the plane, I was already exposed to my mother.
It's understandable that Zhong Tingyue couldn't tell, since the two had just met, but she herself hadn't noticed either.
I couldn't help but recall Zhong Tingyue's evaluation of her mother: innocent and naive, truly innocent, but also truly wicked.
"Would spraining his ankle be part of her plan too?" He suddenly paused, gasped, and then shook his head. "Probably not, Mom wouldn't need to."
He sat up, fiddled with his phone, and posted a message on his WeChat Moments with only a clown emoji.
Suddenly, the first person to like his post came from 'A Little Fairy'.
Throughout the night, Chu Fang was almost constantly in a state of self-doubt, wondering if his intelligence had been suppressed.
He woke up early in the morning and, still half asleep, started cooking.
I simply cooked a pot of light and delicious white porridge, steamed a few buns, and paired them with pickled vegetables that had been soaking for a few days. The porridge was just the right amount of salty and bland, and then I added some fragrant chili oil. It was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
I wouldn't trade this breakfast for even a god.
"Oh my, good boy, you have panda eyes?" Chu's mother walked out of the room and looked at him in surprise.
Chu Fang looked his mother over, especially at her ankle, and after a moment's thought, asked, "Did you sprain your ankle by accident?"
This problem bothered him all night.
If it's true, then my mother is incredibly cunning.
"Did I twist my ankle on purpose?" Chu's mother rolled her eyes.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Chu's mother happily went to open the door, and there was Zhong Tingyue.
I didn't rush to work today; instead, I came to see Chu's mother off.
Two women make a play.
At the dining table, the two chattered away, talking about all sorts of things.
Chu's mother said that she and Zhong Tingyue would keep in touch and meet often in the future, and that she would welcome Zhong Tingyue to the Chu family home. She also jokingly said that she would treat Zhong Tingyue as her future daughter-in-law.
This made Zhong Tingyue blush and feel very shy.
Chu Fang watched as his mother brazenly flirted with Zhong Tingyue, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
After finishing their meal, the three of them immediately left home with their suitcases and headed to the airport.
We arrived at Shanghai Airport shortly afterward, and even though the National Day holiday was over, there were still so many people.
Upon arriving at the airport, the atmosphere suddenly became much heavier. Chu's mother, who had been chattering away like a lark, fell silent, her lips slightly pouting, like a child separated from her family, filled with endless reluctance, her emotions written all over her face.
"My dear, I can't bear to part with you." Chu's mother said gently, her eyes reddening.
"Then don't go back." Chu Fang hugged his mother's shoulders.
"No!" Chu's mother shook her head. "Your father is still at home. I left home and don't know how he's been doing these past few days. I asked him to come to my mother's house for dinner, but he wouldn't go."
There is always a natural barrier between a son-in-law and his father-in-law/mother-in-law.
Chu's father was no exception.
At this moment, Chu's mother was holding Chu Fang's arm, nagging in a childlike manner.
Chu Fang found it difficult to reconcile the image of his mother at this moment with that of the brilliant strategist she had been the night before.
As Zhong Tingyue looked at the scene before her, she gained a better understanding of her future mother-in-law and "elder sister".
The future mother-in-law treats her boyfriend like a precious jewel, spoiling him rotten. It seems that she herself will need to put in a lot of effort to gain the approval of her future mother-in-law.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to snatch Chu Fang from Chu's mother.
After lingering with Chu Fang for a while, Chu's mother noticed Zhong Tingyue's gaze, immediately suppressed her reluctance, and smiled at her.
