The two left the store, and just as they stepped out, a phone rang. Zhong Tingyue handed the box to Chu Fang, made a shushing gesture to signal him to be quiet, and then answered the phone: "Mom, how are you feeling?"

Chu Fang, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened noticeably.

Good heavens!

Future mother-in-law!

Then a gentle voice was heard: "Okay, okay, your dad, your sister, and I are all in good health, don't worry. Your dad and I have money, you don't need to send us money every month."

Cough cough cough...

Zhong Ping coughed for a moment.

To save a couple of cents, he didn't even have a drink, while his wife said not to send money. He was already imagining how difficult life would be in the future.

“I’ve grown up and am earning money now, so I should give you money,” Zhong Tingyue said softly. “Now that I’ve opened a studio, business is pretty good, so don’t be too frugal at home.”

Zhong Tingyue understood her mother's personality; she was the type to stretch every penny in half.

"Okay, okay..."

Watching the mother and daughter chat, Chu Fang was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

This was the first time he had ever been so close to his future mother-in-law.

"By the way," Gao Ruoyun finally brought up the topic of her phone call after chatting for a while, "My dear daughter, I've found you a young man. He's handsome, charming, and incredibly talented, and his family is also very well-off. Add him on WeChat and meet him sometime."

Chu Fang was practically straining his ears to listen to the mother and daughter's conversation when he heard this sentence, and his eyes widened immediately.

What? !

Someone stole his woman!

Zhong Tingyue turned her head and looked at her boyfriend, who looked angry and pointed at her. It was clear that Chu Fang wanted her to tell her parents that she already had a boyfriend.

Compared to Zhong Tingyue's shyness or fear, Chu Fang appeared much bolder, even fearless.

When faced with a phone call from his mother-in-law, he dared to openly reveal his identity.

Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and replied slowly, "I have a boyfriend."

mua!

Upon hearing this, Chu Fang hugged Zhong Tingyue's head and kissed her smooth forehead, feeling very excited.

... ...

Zhong Tingyue's home.

Gao Ruoyun's voice rose eight octaves, echoing throughout the living room: "You have a boyfriend?!"

"Crack!" Zhong Ping, swaying unsteadily, lost his balance and fell to the ground, accompanied by a loud thud coming from under the table: "What?!"

Zhong Rou opened her mouth wide, and her chopsticks slipped onto the table.

The three people in the living room were stunned. After a while, Gao Ruoyun was the first to come to her senses, gripped her phone tightly, and asked, "You have a boyfriend?"

"Um."

How big?

"21 years old."

How tall?

183 centimeters.

"weight?"

75 kilograms.

"How does she look?"

"handsome!"

What is your educational background?

"A 211 university".

How many people are in your family?

"A family of three, with only one son."

Where does he live?

"A small town in Chengdu."

What do his parents do?

"My father was a teacher, and my mother was a freelancer."

“... ..."

Gao Ruoyun's mouth spewed out one question after another like a machine gun, and Zhong Tingyue seemed to understand her mother's thoughts. After her mother asked a question, she immediately followed up with her answer, recounting Chu Fang's personal information one by one.

The two sides seemed to be exchanging blows, one after the other. Zhong Tingyue's ears were quiet for a moment, and then she heard her mother's voice: "I want to add that child on WeChat."

"Hmm... let's wait a few days." Zhong Tingyue looked at her boyfriend, who was so excited he couldn't contain himself, and two dimples appeared on her delicate face.

Gao Ruoyun seemed to need time to process the news of the explosion, and the mother and son ended their conversation after a short while.

Watching her boyfriend hang up the phone, Chu Fang tilted her head and said, "Why did you hang up? I was thinking of chatting with your mother for a bit."

The "sheniu" attribute is fully embodied in Chu Fang.

I just want to chat with my future mother-in-law.

"We'll see," Zhong Tingyue said, pursing her lips.

Upon hearing this, Chu Fang stared intently at his girlfriend: "Are you trying to say bad things about me?"

Zhong Tingyue uttered two words: "Idiot!"

"Then you're an idiot girlfriend."

"As long as you admit you're an idiot, I'll admit I'm an idiot girlfriend."

“... ..."

In the Central Plains, at the home of Zhong Tingyue.

"You've made something of yourself." Zhong Ping continued sipping his wine.

Zhong Rou blinked her cute little eyes, as if she was thinking about something, her eyes sparkling.

Gao Ruoyun hung up the phone: "Didn't you not have a boyfriend before? How come you suddenly have one?"

"You're not happy that your daughter found a boyfriend?" Zhong Ping asked.

“It’s not that I’m unhappy, it’s just…” Gao Ruoyun scratched her face, wanting to say something, but then seemed to have forgotten some memories, and her words trailed off. “It’s just that… something just feels off.”

"Then don't think about it too much," Zhong Ping comforted his wife. "It's a good thing that our eldest daughter has a boyfriend, so don't worry about it. After dinner, tell Aunt Wu that you canceled the blind date and give her a red envelope to apologize."

“A red envelope? No way!” Gao Ruoyun’s eyes widened when she heard this. “Aunt Wu didn’t even manage to introduce us, why should we give her a red envelope for no reason?”

"Aunt Wu was kind enough to help us. Perhaps she has already spoken to the young man's family. If we immediately tell them that our daughter has found a boyfriend, wouldn't that be deceiving them? We should give Aunt Wu some money as compensation."

Gao Ruoyun opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't speak, so she could only agree: "Then how much do you want to give?"

"one hundred."

"Ten yuan."

“... ..."

The couple argued over compensation, while Zhong Rou, the youngest member of the family, fiddled with her phone, looking very serious.
