Night falls, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.
"Whoosh~~~ I'm back!" Zhong Rou returned home as usual, making a triumphant entrance, even sliding to her knees in the living room.
And what came into view were many pairs of eyes: Chu Fang, Zhong Tingyue, Chu's mother, Chu Yi, Zhou Qiong, and Yang Meina.
She knelt before the group of people, who stared at her. At that moment, the air in the room seemed to stand still.
How embarrassing...
Zhong Rou then kowtowed, saying, "Auntie, you've come all this way, I don't have anything to give you, so I'll just kowtow to you."
May you live a long and healthy life, and grow younger with each passing year.
Just then, the tabby cat slowly walked by. Zhong Rou threw the tabby cat aside and said, "Get lost!"
Taking advantage of her!
"No need for such a grand ceremony, get up quickly." Chu's mother smiled and took out a red envelope from her pocket: "Good girl, this is Auntie's gift."
Upon seeing the red envelope, Zhong Rou's eyes turned into the shape of a red envelope: "Auntie, you treat me better than my own parents!"
Zhong Tingyue smirked.
The younger sister has an extremely strong sense of utilitarianism.
While the others teased Zhong Rou about her kowtowing, Chu Fang went to the kitchen to cook dinner.
Tonight's meal is simple: hot pot and a few stir-fried dishes.
The hot pot was served, and the group sat around eating. Zhong Rou picked up a piece of tripe and put it in Chu's mother's bowl: "Auntie, you eat."
"Good boy, this is for you." Chu's mother took out another red envelope and handed it to the 'little money-grubber'.
Zhong Rou hesitated: "Auntie, I've already received so many red envelopes from you, that's enough. Besides, my sister will take all my red envelopes away."
Upon hearing this, Chu's mother glanced at her future daughter-in-law and waved her hand, "Don't worry, this is my money, it has nothing to do with her, and the red envelope I gave you will not be taken away by your sister."
Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."
On the way home, Chu's mother said that since she had finally made it to Shanghai, she should give red envelopes to the younger generation. Out of goodwill, Zhong Tingyue did not use Chu's mother's money, but instead withdrew her own money and gave it to Chu's mother.
Unexpectedly, the future mother-in-law gave the money to the younger sister.
She not only didn't gain anything, but was also disliked...
My heart aches...
It was late at night when they finished eating. Chu Yi, Zhou Qiong, and Yang Meina left together. Chu's mother had been sitting for more than ten hours and was extremely tired. She fell asleep soon after.
In the bedroom, Chu Fang was playing on his phone, grinning. Zhong Tingyue closed her laptop, turned around, and asked, "What brings Auntie to Shanghai this time?"
He casually replied, "To pray for rain."
Do you think I'm stupid?
When Zhong Tingyue asked Chu's mother today, this was the answer she received. Zhong Tingyue didn't ask any further questions, which didn't mean she agreed with the reason; she was just going along with her future mother-in-law's wishes.
Praying for rain?
What a ridiculous reason!
Chu Fang replied, "I don't know. I asked her and she gave me the same answer."
"I don't believe it!" A woman's intuition told Zhong Tingyue that there must be something going on. "You must know, you just don't want to tell me."
Chu Fang shrugged: "Okay, I'll tell you, my mom wants you to give her a big, fat grandson."
"Go to hell." Zhong Tingyue spat. "Are you going to talk or not?"
"I really don't know."
"Alright, Chu Fang, you've got this!"
The lights went out, and Chu Fang took the opportunity to hug Zhong Tingyue, who immediately broke free: "Don't even think about touching me unless you tell me why."
You're squeezing me.
Are you sick?
"Believe it or not, I'll sue you for sexual assault?"
"oops... ..."
The next day, the sky was clear.
Zhong Tingyue looked at Chu Fang with a thoughtful expression: "What exactly are these two, mother and son, hiding?"
She tormented Chu Fang so much last night, yet the latter still didn't tell Chu's mother the reason for coming to Shanghai.
That's really strange!
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore." Unable to figure it out, she stopped thinking about it and said, "Let you two go."
Anyway, it's impossible for this mother and son to cause any major upheaval.
Hmm...maybe.
Meeting his gaze, Chu Fang said, "Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and eat, then go to work. I'm off today."
After finishing her meal, Zhong Tingyue went to work by herself.
Chu's mother nudged Chu Fang: "Sweetie, how far along are your marriage proposal preparations? Tell me, and I'll help you plan it out."
"Mom, how did Dad propose to you?"
"Hmm..." Chu's mother stroked the tabby cat, lost in thought, while the cat looked utterly dejected.
Lily is a very intelligent pet. Zhong Tingyue warned it not to scratch Chu Ma, so it could only let Chu Ma torment it.
Seeing that Chu's mother was deep in thought, Chu Fang secretly petted Lily, and its fur immediately bristled.
Chu Fang: "Damn it! This is outrageous!"
"Eh?" Chu's mother said softly, "Back then, your grandfather's family was poor, your father had just started working, didn't have much money, and hadn't been allocated a house, so he didn't dare to get married. I was the one who proposed to him."
“Your dad refused at the time, but once he fell into my hands, there was no reason for him to refuse.”
At this point, Chu's mother clapped her hands: "That's right, I've thought of a perfect way to propose."
"You first string the 'bad woman' along, use your charm to make her anxious and eager to get married, so that she turns around and proposes to you. Then you show her all the rituals and things you've prepared for the proposal, and that will be very romantic."
To this, Chu could only say...
Only a mother could come up with such a method.
Most people wouldn't have this kind of imagination!
Chu Fang swallowed hard: "Great idea!"
Upon hearing this, Chu's mother craned her neck: "So you agree?"
"disagree!"
I must be out of my mind to do that.
Seeing Chu's mother pouting, Chu Fang, holding the keys, said, "Don't rush into the proposal; let's get the ring first."
Wu Di told him that the engagement ring he wanted had been custom-made.
Let's get the ring first.
He drove Chu's mother to Wu Di's company.
"Hello sir, how may I help you?" the receptionist asked, bowing.
"When you're looking for your company's CEO, just say I'm Chu Fang," he replied casually.
Just then, Wu Di came in from outside, surrounded by a group of colleagues.
It has to be said that there are quite a few coincidences in the world.
Wu Di ended up working under Cheng Li, and he helped Chu Fang supervise the design of the ring. Master Cheng Li appreciated Wu Di's perfectionist nature and took him on as a disciple.
This kind of disciple relationship is not like the simple teacher-student relationship during school days; it is a much closer relationship, related to the inheritance of the mantle.
Wu Di naturally became a figure second only to the company's leader.
"You've arrived." Chu Fang had informed Wu Di beforehand, so he wasn't surprised. He then turned to Chu's mother and greeted her, "Hello, Auntie."
Wu Di met Chu's mother when she came to Shanghai last time.
"Hehe... Hello, young Wu." Chu's mother smiled brightly, then took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into Wu Di's hand, "This is yours."
Chu's mother prepared red envelopes for all her relatives and friends.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Wu Di smiled gently, accepted the red envelope, and then led the two into the company, saying as they walked, "The ring has been made. If you don't like it, you can continue to modify it until you are satisfied."
Chu Fang nodded.
He knew that Wu Di meant that if he was not satisfied with the ring, he should not remain silent because of the master-disciple relationship between Wu Di and Cheng Li.
