She thought to herself that she would talk to Liang Qing properly when she got off work in the evening.
Therefore, that afternoon, Zhao's mother went to the market and bought a lot of meat, seafood, crabs, shrimp, and a yellow croaker, intending to make braised yellow croaker.
Liang Qing still returned home at different times than Zhao Qingzhou. As soon as she got home, she smelled the aroma of food.
Niannian was playing in the living room when she heard her mother's footsteps coming home from get off work. She called out "Mom!" in her clear voice.
Xiao Ze was doing his homework nearby, and when he saw Liang Qing, he obediently called her "Auntie".
At this moment, Zhao's mother came out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron.
She smiled and spoke to Liang Qing, "Off work? Why didn't you take Qingzhou's car today? I told him I'd give you a ride to and from get off work from now on. We work for the same company, so it's not inconvenient."
Liang Qing chuckled and said, "My brother is quite busy. I haven't had that much work lately, so I can leave work on time. I might work overtime occasionally."
"Auntie, why are you cooking yourself? Didn't your housekeeper come?"
Zhao's mother said, "I'll cook a few of my specialty dishes."
Seeing Liang Qing put down her briefcase to wash her hands and go help, Zhao's mother quickly said, "Don't worry about it, it'll be done soon."
Liang Qing thought Zhao's mother was just being polite and was about to follow her to the kitchen.
Seeing Zhao's mother untie her apron and place it aside, she looked at Liang Qing with a smile and said softly, "Little Liang, come to my room with me, I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this and seeing Zhao's mother's mysterious expression, Liang Qing seemed to have realized something.
She did not refuse.
Last night, Zhao Qingzhou told her that his mother wanted to ask her a few questions today.
She nodded and followed Zhao's mother to her bedroom.
Zhao's mother pulled up a stool for Liang Qing to sit down, while she herself sat on the edge of the bed.
First, I asked Liang Qing how her son, Zhao Qingzhou, was doing. "He's alright looking, isn't he? He has a good job too. He's a bit older, but he's a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
After saying a lot, Zhao's mother finally asked Liang Qing.
“Xiao Liang, I really like you. Regardless of your past relationship with Qingyu, Qingyu is gone now, and we have to move on. You still have Niannian with you. Here’s what I’m thinking: if you’re still willing to stay in the Zhao family, then change your identity and stay at home.”
"I'm thinking of having you two together, what do you think?"
Liang Qing had some doubts. Judging from what Zhao's mother said, she seemed to approve of her being with Zhao Qingzhou.
Was this agreement something Zhao Qingzhou persuaded her to accept?
If that's the case, Liang Qing thinks Zhao Qingzhou is quite impressive.
She actually managed to persuade Zhao's mother to let her, a woman who had given birth to her younger son's child, marry her older son.
Seeing Liang Qing hesitate and remain silent, Zhao's mother asked, "Little Liang, are you unwilling?"
Liang Qing pursed her lips and said softly, "I'll listen to Auntie. Auntie is right. I think my older brother is also a good person."
"Oh dear, I knew you were such an obedient and sensible girl. I also felt that you were reluctant to leave the Zhao family. Even if you marry Qingzhou, we will still be family. From now on, I will treat you even better than my own daughter."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. The bride price and everything else are ready."
Zhao's mother was overjoyed.
Of course, Zhao Qingzhou was also happy when he got home from get off work in the evening.
But looking at Liang Qing, who was overly happy with both mother and son, she always felt that something was a little off.
Before she could even react, the Zhao family had already begun preparing for the wedding date.
Zhao Qingzhou even personally informed Wen Qiao that he was going to marry Liang Qing.
Upon hearing this news, Wen Qiao immediately felt that their relationship was progressing a little too fast; only a little over a month had passed...
"Wen Qiao, thank you so much. Although I don't know how you persuaded Liang Qing, I understand what Liang Qing means. You must have persuaded her, otherwise, she wouldn't have accepted my feelings so quickly."
"When I get married, your whole family will come. You'll be considered half a media person to us now."
Wen Qiao chuckled upon hearing this.
She wondered to herself, when had she ever advised Liang Qing to accept Zhao Qingzhou's feelings?
Didn't she always advise Liang Qing that work is more important than men, and that she shouldn't let men affect her work?
Did Liang Qing misunderstand?
