This was the first time Ji's mother had seen her daughter like this. She sighed and said, "Alright, I hope this Dr. Gong is worth your effort."

"Of course!"

Ji Tong's heart was finally at ease.

It seems that her mother has come to believe in her relationship with Miyahiko.

That's fine.

The car drove to the open parking lot in front of the garden restaurant.

When they arrived, Ji Tong looked around and found that there wasn't a single car in the parking lot.

When Ji Tong saw it, Ji's mother also noticed it.

Madam Ji said, "It seems the person hasn't arrived yet. Let's go inside and wait."

On the way to the private room, Ji Tong couldn't hold back any longer and started saying, "Mom, Gong Yanli is really busy, and the road was a bit difficult to walk on just now, so it's normal for him to be a little late."

In Ji Tong's view, she and Gong Yanli were like grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

She had to get her mother to accept Miyazaki.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to find such a suitable person again.

Although the junior doctor at St. Union Hospital was quite good, her mother probably finds it hard to believe that she told her mother she had broken up with Miyano and changed to another doctor at St. Union Hospital.

Is this normal?

Seeing her daughter speaking up for that man like that, Ji's mother became even more worried.

The two people stopped at the door of the private room.

“Daughter, Mom knows you haven’t been in a relationship for years. When you finally meet someone you like, you unconsciously give your all. But this won’t do you any good. He’s so much older than you. He’s experienced everything. His feelings for you might just be a passing fancy. If you act like this, you’ll only scare him away.”

Ji's mother sincerely advised him.

Ji Tong knew in her heart that her relationship with Gong Yanli was fake.

She didn't know how to explain it to her mother, so she simply condensed all her words into one sentence: "Anyway, I won't marry anyone but him!"

After saying that, he opened the door to the private room and was about to go in.

Before she even stepped into the private room, just one glance was enough to freeze her excited expression, and she stammered out a name, "Gong, Gong, Gong Yanli..."

Gong Yanli stood on one side of the round table in the private room, dressed in a neat shirt and trousers, and his hair was obviously carefully styled.

Seeing Ji Tong and Ji's mother standing at the door, he walked a few steps to them and said politely to Ji's mother, "Hello, Auntie, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Gong Yanli."

Ji's mother also looked surprised.

She had just noticed that the parking lot was empty and had no idea that Gong Yanli had already arrived.

Ji Tong asked awkwardly, "You...you didn't drive here?"

"Yes, it's not open today."

Miyahiko didn't offer much explanation.

Ji Tong asked again, "Why are you here so early?"

Gong Yanli looked at the two of them and said with a rather apologetic expression, "Logically speaking, I should say that it is my first time meeting an elder, so it is reasonable for me to arrive a little early. But actually, I had work this afternoon, and I didn't have time to go home and change clothes after I finished, so I came straight here."

Gong Yanli's words were very polite.

Ji's mother's expression relaxed slightly.

The fact that Gong Yanli could say that at least shows that he is a rather honest person.

A man who uses sweet talk would never say that.

Ji Tong was dissatisfied: "You can just say the former directly, why bother explaining?"

Mrs. Ji was surprised that her daughter was so love-struck, and sighed, "Sit down, don't stand at the door."

After sitting down, Ji Tong thought her mother would ask about their past relationship.

She had left messages for Gong Yanli before, and made some of them up.

The first thing Ji's mother said was, "Dr. Gong, I had a friend named Leng Yueqing, who passed away more than 20 years ago."

Ji Tong looked puzzled, not understanding why her mother suddenly brought up Aunt Leng.

As she was wondering, Gong Yanli said first, "I know her."

His tone was flat, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

It seems that she already knew that Ji's mother had mentioned this person.
