078: Mother-in-law comes
Xu Yao had already verified Gu Jun's character at the hot spring resort hotel. Nothing happened when the two of them stayed in the same room at night, not to mention putting on a show in front of Lin Meixian.
Xu Yao was not panicked at all.
Gu Jun didn't know whether he should be happy or not.
This shows Xu Yao's trust, and it also shows that Xu Yao has not thought anything improper about him, so she is so frank.
Lin Meixian will soon have the opportunity to come to Shenghai Garden to cook home-cooked meals for her daughter and son-in-law.
Because Shen Shuping asked Chen Yan to make an appointment with Jiang Zhiyan but was rejected, Wen Zhicheng had to humbly ask Lin Meixian for help again.
"I can go and tell Gu Jun about this, but I can't guarantee whether he will agree or not."
Lin Meixian deliberately acted embarrassed and turned to ask Wen Zhicheng's driver to take her to buy groceries. After receiving Wen Zhicheng's instructions, the driver, Lao Liu, rushed to pay for Lin Meixian's groceries.
"The boss said that Madam, you are not able to take care of Miss Xu Yao normally. Since you have come here with great difficulty, you might as well buy some food and daily necessities for Miss Xu Yao."
The driver, Lao Liu, was very attentive, and Lin Meixian just laughed it off.
Even if you buy a bunch of food and daily necessities, how much is it worth? Lin Meixian is not that careless.
"Food should be bought and eaten right away to keep it fresh. Only people who grew up poor develop a hoarding habit."
Lin Meixian said it casually, and Lao Liu felt that it seemed like she was scolding him and his boss Wen Zhicheng. Lao Liu suddenly didn't dare to speak casually.
Lin Meixian brought a moderate amount of fresh meat and vegetables to Shenghai Garden. Xu Yao had already cleaned the house and was waiting for her mother to arrive. Gu Jun also looked very calm.
Gu Jun first had the housekeeping service clean the house, and he accompanied Xu Yao to do the finishing touches. He and Xu Yao had picked out the vase and fresh cut flowers on the table, and they also bought some fruit!
Everything is ready, just waiting for Lin Meixian to come and inspect it. After all, Gu Jun has seen big scenes, so why would he be nervous about such a small thing?
When Lin Meixian looked up at the house, Gu Jun's nerves suddenly tensed up.
——Is the decoration a bit out of date?
The house in Shenghai Garden comes with fine decoration, and only the furniture was matched by Gu Jun. Gu Jun himself doesn't care, and Xu Yao is also satisfied, but he is afraid that Lin Meixian will be dissatisfied.
"Help Mom take the bag."
Xu Yao winked at Gu Jun.
It was obvious that Gu Jun's reaction was very quick during the rehearsal, but why did his reaction become slower when he really went on stage?
Gu Jun came back to his senses: "Mom, give me the bag. I'll take it to the kitchen. I'll help you later, and you can be the chef. Or you can just stir-fry a couple of side dishes and let me take care of the rest."
Lin Meixian was very satisfied. "You can cook? That's great. I've always worried about how you and Yaoyao eat. She hasn't been able to cook since she was a child, and you're busy with work. I know you young people like to eat takeout, but you can't eat it every day. Takeout is high in oil and salt and is too unhealthy."
Gu Jun smiled and said, "I don't do it often, mainly because I get off work late."
Lin Meixian nodded. "Eating is important, but work is more important. How about I pay for a cook for you? There are some that don't live at home and are only responsible for cooking and cleaning for you. It doesn't cost much."
Gu Jun and Xu Yao looked at each other and rejected Lin Meixian in unison:
"Mom, no need."
"No need to ask Auntie."
The cook hired by Lin Meixian will definitely tell Lin Meixian about Xu Yao and Gu Jun's daily interactions when she sees that they are more like roommates!
Xu Yao quickly took Lin Meixian's arm and took the initiative to change the subject: "Mom, don't worry about how we eat. This is your first time home. I'll take you to visit the layout of the house."
Lin Meixian nodded, "Okay, show me around."
Xu Yao first took Lin Meixian to see the master bedroom.
Xu Yao replaced Gu Jun's gray bedspread with a brown one. The warm-toned bedding looked more cozy.
Xu Yao placed two pillows.
Gu Jun helped her supervise the details and told her not to make the bed so neatly, as wrinkles on the pillow would make it look more like life.
Xu Yao understood Gu Jun's suggestion perfectly. She deliberately tilted her wash cup when she placed it in the bathroom, and even prepared two mobile phone chargers on the bedside table, so as not to let Lin Meixian find any loopholes.
Lin Meixian only glanced at the master bedroom.
Xu Yao also took Lin Meixian to visit Gu Jun's study and the gym they shared.
"There's another guest bedroom."
Xu Yao pointed to her room and lied, "I have too many clothes, most of them are stuffed in the guest bedroom."
Lin Meixian nodded. "The house is really nice. Gu Jun is so young and can buy such a big house. He is really capable."
Lin Meixian is becoming more and more satisfied with Gu Jun.
Regardless of what method Gu Jun used last time, he was able to help Xu Yao resolve the crisis so quickly and efficiently. That was Gu Jun's ability. A poor background for a young man was nothing. Gu Jun wasn't even 30 yet. With this starting point, he couldn't possibly have a bad life in the future!
Satisfied, Lin Meixian paid special attention to the guest bedroom, which was said to be unoccupied. After taking a look around, she told Xu Yao, "When you have children, this can be used as a child's room."
Gu Jun happened to come from the kitchen and heard these words. He looked at Xu Yao, and Xu Yao was also looking at him.
Although the two of them had slept in the same room before, nothing happened. How could a child come out of thin air?
Gu Jun was afraid that Xu Yao would reveal the truth, so he quickly took over the conversation, "Mom, we don't plan to have children for the time being. Yaoyao and I are still young, so let's work hard for a few years first. Maybe in a few years we'll have earned enough money to buy a bigger house, and your current plans will be in vain."
Lin Meixian thought so too.
There is really no need to rush into having children. Young couples should get used to each other for two years before considering having children.
They have a child before their marriage is even settled, and after a few years they realize they can't live together anymore and start arguing and getting a divorce. How pitiful the child is!
Lin Meixian was going to the kitchen to cook, and Xu Yao and Gu Jun both breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems they didn’t reveal the truth!
Lin Meixian had one foot in the kitchen when she suddenly turned around: "This house seems to be missing something, I always feel strange-"
Xu Yao's heart was about to jump out of her throat.
"It's not strange. There's everything."
"Are you missing any small appliances?"
Gu Jun also felt that he was a meticulous thinker and would not make mistakes, but Lin Meixian was not an ordinary mother-in-law. What if she really saw through some flaws?
Lin Meixian walked around the house again without saying a word. Xu Yao followed behind her, extremely nervous. Gu Jun's mood was the same as the night before the new product was launched.
Finally, Lin Meixian stopped in the living room and said, "Why haven't you even taken wedding photos? You can get a marriage certificate without having a wedding banquet, but you still have to take wedding photos!"
Lin Meixian didn't see a single photo in either the study or the bedroom. She felt Xu Yao lived too roughly. Rich or poor, some necessary rituals still had to be maintained, and Xu Yao and Gu Jun weren't so broke they couldn't even afford wedding photos.
Xu Yao was completely stunned.
She never thought about taking wedding photos!
Gu Jun also made a mistake and immediately took the blame on himself. "You're right, it's all my fault for being too busy with work. I kept putting it off. Not only did we not take wedding photos, we didn't even have a honeymoon. How about this, I'll arrange my work so that I can take Yaoyao and I on a honeymoon. We can find a travel photographer to take wedding photos on our honeymoon. What do you think?"
