Wei Meiyu, who was standing by, also noticed Tang Yan's resistance and quickly agreed with a dry laugh.
"Yes, Mom, let's not talk about anything else. Since we are having a party today, let's start eating. I'm hungry."
For so many years, she followed Tang Yan cautiously and tremblingly, just to win his favor.
Now, when the two families sat together, Tang Yan seemed to be resisting even when the topic was casually mentioned. It seemed that this matter needed to be carefully considered, and all her feelings of admiration for Tang Yan had to be carefully hidden.
Li Qionghua looked back at her daughter and started speaking.
"Don't you always like..."
As a result, when she was halfway through her words, she saw her daughter shaking her head and winking at her, and kicking her under the table.
Li Qionghua reacted instantly and realized that her daughter had always had a crush on Tang Yan, but she didn't dare to break the relationship!
All her words were stuck in her throat. She laughed dryly twice, picked up the chopsticks beside her, and said awkwardly.
"Alright, alright! Since you're hungry, let's eat. It's been a while since our two families have gotten together."
As they were talking, the waiter had already served the last dish, and everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
On the other hand, Wei Chuxiong on the side looked at his daughter deeply, then looked at Tang Yan opposite him who had a look of great difficulty but remained calm, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
It seems that his daughter's love life will not be smooth.
The meal went very smoothly. Afterwards, everyone was chatting and laughing, and talked about other things while eating. After the meal, the two adults, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, made an appointment to go out for coffee and play cards.
Tang Yan was standing at the door, thinking of saying that there was something at work that had not been dealt with yet and was planning to leave, when he heard his mother Zhou Dan say.
"Tang Yan, your father and I have an appointment with your uncle and aunt to play cards. Please send Xiaoyu back first!"
As he spoke, Zhou Dan deliberately moved closer to his son and reminded him in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Son, Xiaoyu is a good girl. Get along well with her. Mom is optimistic about her becoming my daughter-in-law!"
Tang Yan had an obscure look on his face. He looked deeply at Wei Meiyu who was waiting obediently with her bag not far away, and whispered to his mother.
"Ah, what are you thinking? I'm still young and don't want to get married so soon!"
Wei Meiyu is a good person. She graduated from a prestigious university and has a prominent family background. Marrying her is destined to make the two of them respect each other like guests, living a life of superficial harmony but spiritual discord, and the end of the marriage is foreseeable at a glance.
Tang Yan didn't want to get married just like that because he was unwilling to accept the dullness of marriage and the future that he could see the end of.
He likes his current carefree life, occasionally busy with work and hanging out with friends in his spare time. I am carefree and free.
Of course, more importantly, there is always a figure in his heart that he can't let go of. That figure always runs into the endless darkness in the dark night, making him very distressed.
Thinking of this, Tang Yan looked at Wei Meiyu with an even calmer gaze, and listened to his mother almost pulling his ear.
"You can spend some time with Xiaoyu first before deciding to get married. You're already in your twenties. If you don't hold on to Xiaoyu and miss her, you might never meet such a good woman again. Then you'll cry!"
Tang Yan remained calm in response to Zhou Dan's advice.
"Mom, I really don't want to get married. I want to have fun for two more years. You'd better not delay me. Xiaoyu is very good. She is suitable for a better man."
But in my heart I was secretly thinking that some people, no matter how good they are, cannot arouse your enthusiasm; some people, even if she is stuck in the mud and covered in stains, can ignite all your passion.
This is the difference between Wei Meiyu and A Yue.
Seeing his son's calm expression, Zhou Dan became serious and confirmed.
"Son, are you serious? You really don't like Xiaoyu?"
Wei Meiyu was the daughter-in-law she had watched grow up since she was a child. She was a carefully chosen daughter-in-law with a good background, a good family background, a high level of education, and was obedient and sensible. She was the best daughter-in-law possible. Why did her son look so indifferent?
For the first time, Zhou Dan felt that he had never understood his son's thoughts. Could it be that he had someone else in his heart?
Tang Yan looked straight ahead, not looking at his mother, but still spoke with a calm expression.
"Mom, it's not that I don't like Xiaoyu. She's a good person, but she's just not suitable for me. I don't have any plans to date or get married right now. You should give up the idea for now. As for your daughter-in-law, maybe in the future..."
When saying the last sentence, Tang Yan's voice sounded a little lonely and desolate, as if vaguely revealing the kind of emptiness and loneliness that no one could understand when standing in a high place.
Since his son said so, Zhou Dan had no choice but to sigh deeply.
"Okay, since you said so, Mom won't force you, but Mom thinks Xiaoyu is really the best person for you!"
Tang Yan turned around and glanced at his mother, with an expression of "I'm doing this for your own good" on her face, and said indifferently.
"Mom, you and my dad have been through thick and thin together for decades. Whether a marriage is suitable for two people is not something that outsiders can decide. Just like whether a pair of shoes fits you, only you know. So please stop worrying about my marriage, okay?"
"you!"
Zhou Dan was left speechless by her son's words. Tang Yan was right. Only the person herself knew whether a marriage was suitable or not.
As Tang Yan's mother, she herself could not decisively conclude that Wei Meiyu was suitable for Tang Yan.
Looking at his mother, who was rarely silent, Tang Yan continued speaking with all his strength.
"I want to be the master of my own marriage. Don't interfere anymore. Just enjoy your old age with my dad!"
After saying that, he ignored Zhou Dan's expression and strode away, leaving Zhou Dan standing there, looking at her son's resolute back with a face full of dejection. After all, her son was no longer the good boy who always listened to her and acted coquettishly in her arms, but had grown into another independent man.
Tang Yan strode away, but when he passed by Wei Meiyu, he stopped and said something in a low voice.
"Xiaoyu, I'm leaving now. Do you want me to give you a ride?"
As a well-educated man, no matter whether he likes the other person during a blind date, Tang Yan would still do the minimum courtesy of sending the person back.
After all, the relationship between the two families is there, and Wei Meiyu is his subordinate. If he does many things too much, it would be unmannerly.
Wei Meiyu stood not far away and witnessed Tang Yan and his mother talking about something. Finally, Tang Yan came over with a bad look on his face. But when she heard the other party say that he would send her back, Wei Meiyu felt a little happy in her heart and said with anticipation.
"Is that okay? Then you can take me back on the way!"
