Chapter 264: Conquering the Mother-in-Law 2
Before Jiang Zhihan could react, Shen Xingchen kissed her on the lips.
But he didn't dare kiss too deeply, fearing that the door would be opened again. If that happened, he would probably die of a cardiac arrest.
He gently stroked Jiang Zhihan's cheek with his big hand and looked at her gently: "Why is our mother here? She is not here to monitor me, is she?"
Seeing his cautious look, Jiang Zhihan curled her lips and asked, "What if that's the case? What are you going to do?"
"If so, then it will be easy. I will just let her recognize me as her son-in-law."
"You're just bragging. I don't know who it was just now, it was like touching an electric switch."
Shen Xingchen bit her lip: "I'm just worried that you'll be scolded. If I were alone, I wouldn't be afraid."
He lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhihan: "You let our mother stay for a few more days, I will behave well and let her agree that we should be together, then I will ask my parents to come and propose marriage."
Jiang Zhihan: "My mother is not difficult to please. She likes to study the cuisine from all over the world. If you want to show off, start with that aspect."
Shen Xingchen smiled and kissed Jiang Zhihan on the forehead: "If it weren't for the fact that my wife loves me the most, she wouldn't have revealed such important information to me. Don't worry, I promise that within a week, he will look at me with new eyes."
The two of them stood in the corridor and hugged each other for a while as if they were having an affair, and then went back to their homes.
The next morning.
Jiang's mother had just finished washing up and was about to go to the kitchen to make breakfast when she heard the doorbell ring.
She immediately went to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Shen Xingchen standing at the door with a smile on his face.
He called out respectfully, "Good morning, Auntie. This is the local breakfast tea I ordered for you. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."
Mother Jiang lowered her eyes and saw Shen Xingchen holding two food boxes.
The box says Baoxiangju.
She knew that this breakfast was very famous and there was a long line every morning.
I came here several times, but there were too many people and I couldn’t get a meal.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xingchen fulfilled her wish.
She glanced at him calmly and said, "I'm sorry that Mr. Shen spent so much money."
Shen Xingchen nodded immediately: "Auntie, please call me Achen or Xiao Shen. I can't stand you calling me 'Boss Shen'."
Jiang's mother curled her lips slightly: You are sensible.
She turned and walked into the living room.
Shen Xingchen entered the house carrying a food box and placed the food on the dining table one by one.
Then he smiled and said, "Auntie, squeak, it's time to eat."
Jiang Zhihan saw a large table full of things and asked in surprise, "Why did you buy so much?"
"I mainly want Auntie to try them all."
"When did you go to queue? I went there at 7 o'clock last time and I couldn't get a spot."
Shen Xingchen said calmly, "It's not that early, just around five o'clock."
He came back from around five o'clock and didn't come back until around eight o'clock.
The weather was a bit hot and humid today, and Shen Xingchen's shirt was soaked.
Jiang Zhihan immediately handed him a towel: "Hurry up and wipe your sweat. It's so hot and you've been standing for more than three hours."
"I'm fine, as long as Auntie likes it."
During the entire meal, Shen Xingchen treated Jiang's mother as the most VIP guest and took very thoughtful care of her.
Jiang's mother's cold expression gradually softened.
Seeing this scene, Shen Xingchen curled his lips proudly.
Secretly pulled Jiang Zhihan's little hand from under the table.
Just then, Jiang's mother suddenly called him, and Shen Xingchen was so scared that he immediately let go of Jiang Zhihan.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Auntie, is it not to your taste?"
Jiang's mother shook her head: "No, I mean that there are so many things left untouched, don't waste them."
"Don't worry about this. I'll pack it up for the driver and ask him to give it to my colleagues."
"Aren't you going to work today?"
"I will accompany you throughout the trip today and be your full-time driver and tour guide."
Jiang's mother looked much better, and her voice was no longer so cold. "That's not necessary. We have a lunch meeting at noon. You can go and do your thing. Zhihan and I will be fine."
Shen Xingchen immediately said, "Then I'll arrange a car for you. Zhizhi has to wear high heels to the party, so she won't be able to drive."
Faced with his thoughtfulness, Jiang's mother was still touched.
After Shen Xingchen left, Jiang Zhihan asked with a smile, "Mom, have you changed your mind about him?"
Mother Jiang glanced at her and said, "Don't think you can buy me off with just one meal. I'm not that easy to fool."
"Who fooled you? They waited in line for three hours, didn't even use an assistant, and bought their breakfast themselves, yet you still can't see their sincerity."
"Once or twice doesn't count. I want to see how long his patience with you lasts. Don't blame me, I'm doing this for your own good."
The mother and daughter dressed up and went straight to the restaurant booked by their aunt.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my cousin He Man standing at the door to greet me in a high-end dress.
Seeing them coming, He Man immediately greeted them with a smile.
"Auntie San, Zhihan, you're finally here. My mom was worried you wouldn't come."
Jiang's mother smiled and said, "How could we not come to such a big happy event? Your mother is overthinking it."
He Man looked Jiang Zhihan up and down, her lips curled up in triumph. "Isn't my mom worried that my cousin won't come? After all, she got pregnant before marriage, which caused quite a stir in our family. She even refused to meet us even though she was in Beijing."
Jiang Zhihan curled her lips coldly: "I'm too busy with work and don't have time."
"Yes, salespeople are very busy. After all, they rely on sales to make a living. You have to take care of children and the elderly, so you have to work harder.
When my boyfriend comes over later, I'll set you up with him and see if his company needs the things you sell. He's the purchasing manager of the Shen Group and has a lot of authority."
Hearing about this company, Jiang Zhihan raised her eyebrows: "Really? I need to have a good chat with my brother-in-law later."
The people who came were all relatives from Jiang's mother's side.
Apart from a few sisters, there are the younger generations in the family.
Jiang's mother is the third child. Her father died of illness many years ago and owed a lot of medical bills. Jiang's mother raised two children alone.
I also have to pay medical bills.
Since then, the sisters were afraid that Jiang's mother would ask them for money, so they cut off contact with her.
Until Jiang Zhihan went to college.
Only then did we gradually have some interactions.
Seeing Jiang Zhihan's simple dress, the aunt smiled and said, "Xiaoman, go back and find some of your unwanted clothes for Zhihan. She's raising a child alone, renting an apartment, and working, so she can't afford to buy nice things. Look at what she's wearing, how simple it is."
He Man nodded obediently: "It's the changing season, and I sorted out a lot of clothes. I wanted to give them to the cleaning lady downstairs, but I felt it was a pity because they were all high-end clothes. Now, I don't feel bad about giving them to Zhizhi."
Jiang Zhihan's face was calm as she curled her lips and said, "Thank you, cousin, but your clothes are a bit too big for me."
This sentence made He Man's face turn pale.
Doesn't this clearly mean that she is fat?
She said with a forced smile, "My cousin is so thin. Is it because she works too hard? Why don't you ask your brother-in-law to help her talk to him about it? It should be no problem for him to work as a receptionist in their group."
The eldest aunt agreed with a smile: "I think it's okay. After all, we are relatives. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. If we don't take care of you, who will? It's settled. I'll talk to Shaohui when he comes over later."
Jiang Zhihan looked at them calmly, and said in a calm voice, "No need. I'm quite satisfied with my current job."
He Man sneered, "What kind of job do you have? You work for a small company, just like those insurance salesmen, chasing after clients all day long. It's nowhere near as good as being a front desk clerk at a big corporation."
Jiang Zhihan slowly raised her eyes and said, "So, cousin, who do you think is better, the sales director of Xingye Technology or a receptionist?"
