As the sun set, the mother and son left the haunted house. Chu Fang was exhausted, while his mother was full of energy.
“Those little trinkets are so cute,” Chu’s mother said with a smile.
"That's a ghost!"
"Fake!"
"When falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood. Aren't you afraid at all?"
Chu's mother rolled her eyes: "What's there to be afraid of if it's fake?"
Chu Fang: "..."
Today, we should have sent Chu's mother and Zhong Rou. One of them is innocent and naive, and the other is incredibly skilled in martial arts. No evil spirit can compare to them.
Chu Fang checked the message: "Alright, time to go to the concert. Your daughter-in-law has already left."
Considering it was rush hour, Chu Fang didn't drive; instead, the mother and son took the subway.
Upon entering the subway, Chu's mother was quite curious about her surroundings.
She has never ridden the subway before.
Leaving the subway, Chu's mother said with considerable pride, "From now on, I'm someone who has ridden in a car worth billions."
Chu Fang muttered to himself, "What's so great about that?"
Chu's mother asked sternly, "Do you have that much money?"
"Hmm, I actually do have one..." Chu Fang thought to himself, but did not refute it, instead offering a smile.
You are my mother, you are the most important person.
As soon as you leave the station exit, you see Zhong Tingyue. She is dressed in simple yet stylish clothes with perfect color matching. She stands tall and straight, like an elegant poplar tree.
In the bustling crowd, she stood out like an unmissable bright spot, naturally becoming the focus of everyone's attention, like the most splendid flower in spring, standing out from the crowd.
Despite her hostility towards Zhong Tingyue, Chu's mother had to admit that her future daughter-in-law was very charming.
Upon seeing the mother and son, Zhong Tingyue smiled faintly and asked, "Auntie, did you have fun today?"
"I'm happy!" Chu's mother nodded, then added after a moment's thought, "Because you're not here!"
Zhong Tingyue: "We feel about the same, it's a 50/50 split."
Mother Chu asked, "Who's five?"
Pfft!
A smile as beautiful as a flower bloomed on Zhong Tingyue's face.
Sometimes I really get amused by my mother-in-law's innocent and naive words.
The three of them had a quick meal outside the venue, then lined up and followed the crowd into the venue.
The singer's name is Mu Quan, a rising star. He is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has good song quality, which makes him popular with many people. Many fans come to watch his performance, and the ticket prices are very high. The cheapest seat is 688, while Chu Fang bought the highest-class seat, which cost five figures.
To be honest, Chu Fang thought it wasn't worth it, as the ticket price far exceeded its value. However, if it could make Chu's mother smile, then it was worth the price.
The three sat in the front row, with Chu's mother holding a glow stick and singing along with the singer.
This was not surprising, but what surprised Chu Fang was that Zhong Tingyue also knew about Mu Quan and was humming along.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Chu Fang said with disdain, "Zhong Tingyue, you've changed."
Everyone's started idolizing celebrities...
“She’s more popular than you.” Zhong Tingyue saw through her fiancé’s thoughts at a glance.
"oh."
"They're richer than you."
"Hehe..."
"He's more handsome than you."
Chu Fang glared at him angrily: "Bullshit! I'm so handsome the Yellow River would flow backwards, I'm unparalleled in the world, what makes that singer think he can compare to me?"
He could tolerate being poor and unpopular, but Chu Fang would never admit that there was anyone in the world more handsome than him.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
During the concert, there was a segment where Mu Quan randomly signed autographs for fans. Chu's mother was very excited, but unfortunately, when it was her turn, Mu Quan stopped signing autographs and continued singing.
"What a pity~~~" Chu's mother pouted, somewhat dejected. "I also wanted an autograph."
Even more regrettably, Mu Quan asked for an autograph several times, and each time Chu's mother went to get one, but he never managed to get his name signed.
As night deepened, the concert came to an end.
Chu Fang pulled his mother deeper into the venue, but a security guard stopped the three of them: "Sorry, no one is allowed in here."
"I am Chu Fang."
"Don't stop me." Upon hearing the name, Mu Quan immediately walked over, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Chu."
Chu Fang shook hands with the other person and introduced, "This is my mother. She likes you very much and hopes you can give her an autograph."
"No problem, it's my honor." Upon hearing this, Mu Quan took a pen to sign for Chu's mother and even took many photos with her.
After the matter was settled, the three left, and Chu Fang said, "Thank you."
"It's my honor that Mr. Fu invited you to have tea sometime."
"OK."
Seeing the three leave, Mu Quan's smile faded, and he sighed, "Sigh, they've all become celebrities, yet they still have to bow to me. What's the difference between this and working like a beast of burden?"
The agent standing next to him said, "There is a difference; at least you earn more than cattle and horses."
"Moreover, Mr. Chu was personally called by President Fu, who repeatedly instructed us to treat him well. This shows his extraordinary status. If you want to make it in the entertainment industry, you must befriend these big shots."
"Okay, okay," Mu Quan said.
When a person reaches a certain position, they naturally build a wide network of connections—company CEOs, listed company chairmen, and so on.
Although Chu Fang doesn't usually make a conscious effort to get to know wealthy people, he has gotten to know quite a few rich people over the years, and that President Fu is one of them.
After leaving the venue, the three took a taxi home. On the way home, Chu's mother happily posted a photo of herself and Mu Quan on her WeChat Moments.
It quickly garnered numerous likes and comments.
"Hiss... ...Chu Fang's mother, I'm jealous of you!"
"I stole these pictures, photoshopped you out, and photoshopped me in."
"Good idea."
“... ..."
These comments were all posted by Chu's mother's close friends, which infuriated Chu's mother: "You are all a bunch of thieves!"
... ...
Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue accompanied Chu's mother on a trip to Shanghai for a few days. Before they could even finish checking off all the interesting attractions in Shanghai, Chu's mother started clamoring to go home.
Her trip to Shanghai was to discuss Chu Fang's marriage proposal, but now that it was over, she should go home. Besides, she missed her husband, mother, best friends, and sisters...
“I haven’t visited your grandfather in a long time, and I haven’t been able to talk to him about my feelings. I wonder how he is doing down there? Does he have enough money? I need to go back and send money to your grandfather.”
Chu Fang did not stop his mother and took her to Shanghai Airport.
He said in a serious tone, "Mom, if you're ever coming to Shanghai, just let me know first. And please, please don't do anything like a 'surprise'."
That wasn't a surprise, it was downright terrifying!
Chu's mother's eyes brightened: "You despise me?"
"No, I will always be your son, and I support every decision you make."
Upon hearing this, Chu's mother narrowed her eyes into slits: "Hehe, I know."
Zhong Tingyue draped her coat over her future mother-in-law; it was a bit chilly today due to the continuous rain.
With her hands behind her back, Chu's mother adopted an arrogant posture: "From now on, you are a member of the Chu family. Now that you're part of our family, there are a few rules I need to explain."
"First, you're not allowed to bully me! Second, you bad woman, you must unconditionally obey my orders! Third..."
Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and said, "Auntie, you are so beautiful."
"Don't think you can escape family rules by currying favor with me." Mother Chu's face was serious at first, then a smile curved her lips. "I'm not bragging, but I was once considered the village beauty, loved by everyone..."
“No.” Zhong Tingyue shook her head. “You’re mistaken. I mean you’re dreaming.”
Chu's mother stormed into the airport, leaving behind the words, "Bad woman!"
Chu Fang withdrew his gaze, somewhat speechless, and said, "My mother is about to board the plane, can't you even give way to her?"
"No way!" Zhong Tingyue firmly refused. "If we cede five cities today and ten more tomorrow, we'll only have one night's peace. She's a first-time mother-in-law, and I'm a first-time daughter-in-law. It's our first time, so why should I give in to her?"
Chu Fang shook his head.
I can already picture Zhong Tingyue and Chu Ma living under the same roof in the future, it's just... so interesting!
A good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is one where there are conflicts; otherwise, if there are no conflicts, Chu Fang will be the one suffering.
"Let's go home." Zhong Tingyue took Chu Fang's hand.
"Aren't you going to work?"
"It's raining, time to rest!"
