Chapter 487 Reasons
Hearing Ma Jianbo's question, Wu Xiaoqing bit her lower lip lightly and whispered, "My mother doesn't agree with us being together."
"Why?" Wu Xiaoqing's words surprised Ma Jianbo. He had never expected that he would be opposed by his future mother-in-law just after he and Wu Xiaoqing established a romantic relationship.
As Mu Lingfeng's special assistant, Ma Jianbo has always believed that although his conditions are not as good as many wealthy and noble sons, they are at least not bad.
He couldn't understand why Wu Xiaoqing's mother would not agree with him and Wu Xiaoqing being together when she had never even met him.
"I don't know either." Wu Xiaoqing felt that the reason Wu's mother gave last night was far-fetched, and if she said it out loud now, it would definitely hurt Ma Jianbo's self-esteem. Therefore, she did not tell Ma Jianbo about what Wu's mother said last night.
"Xiaoqing, don't worry. Your mother must have misunderstood me. When I have time, I will go home with you and explain the misunderstanding to your mother in person."
After thinking for a few seconds, Ma Jianbo showed his calmness as an assistant.
"You're going to go home with me?"
Wu Xiaoqing looked at Ma Jianbo in disbelief. They had just confirmed their relationship last night, and Ma Jianbo said today that he would accompany her home. Wasn't this progress a bit too fast?
"If you want to marry someone's daughter, shouldn't you go meet the father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
Ma Jianbo joked with a smile.
"Who said I would marry you!" Wu Xiaoqing felt a little embarrassed by Ma Jianbo's words. She was secretly delighted and temporarily put aside her mother's attitude.
At noon that day, Wu Xiaoqing received a call from his father:
"Xiaoqing, your mother's best friend Aunt Song and her family are back from abroad. We are going to treat them to dinner tonight. You can come directly after get off work."
Before making the call, Father Wu had already sent the dinner schedule for tonight to Wu Xiaoqing's mobile phone.
Wu Xiaoqing had always only heard of her mother's best friend but had never met her in person, because when Wu Xiaoqing was one year old, she accompanied her husband to settle abroad and never returned to China over the years. Wu's mother had always kept in touch with her online.
Even if he had seen him before, one-year-old Wu Xiaoqing had no impression of him.
"Dad, is it convenient for you to talk now?" It was noon, and Wu Xiaoqing thought that her father should be at work at this time, so she asked.
"I'm ordering food with your mother," replied Father Wu.
Hearing that the other party was with Wu's mother, Wu Xiaoqing lost interest in continuing the conversation. After responding, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
In the afternoon, Ma Jianbo asked Wu Xiaoqing to go to the movies in the evening, but she refused: "A good friend of my mother is coming back from abroad, and I want to have dinner with them in the evening."
"It's okay, let's do it another day." Ma Jianbo said sympathetically.
"Xiaoqing, let Auntie Song take a good look at you. You have grown into a big girl. You are so beautiful."
After get off work, Wu Xiaoqing had just walked into the hotel private room provided by Wu's father when a woman dressed elegantly and gracefully pulled her hand and spoke excitedly.
"Why don't you call her Aunt Song? That's really rude." Mother Wu echoed, pretending to complain.
"Hello, Aunt Song!" In front of outsiders, Wu Xiaoqing still wanted to save some face for Wu's mother, so she spoke.
"Xiaoqing, this is your Uncle Ma." Then, Father Wu introduced the other two men present to Wu Xiaoqing: "This is Uncle Ma and Aunt Song's son, Ma Qi."
"Xiaoqi, why don't you ask your sister Xiaoqing to sit down." As soon as Father Wu finished speaking, Aunt Song urged Ma Qi.
Hearing this, the young man called Ma Qi stood up, pulled out the chair next to him and said to Wu Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, please sit down."
Wu Xiaoqing nodded politely to the other party, then walked over and sat down.
More than ten minutes later, Wu Xiaoqing finally realized that today's meal was a blind date for her and Ma Qi.
My mom knows that I already have a boyfriend, yet she still does this. It’s so annoying!
Wu Xiaoqing muttered to himself, then turned his gaze towards Wu's father.
Seeing his daughter's complaining eyes, Father Wu shook his head slightly at her, signaling her to be patient.
After finally finishing the meal, Wu Xiaoqing was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Aunt Song say:
"Xiao Qing, our Xiao Qi just returned home and is unfamiliar with the place. He wants to go to the movies tonight. Would it be convenient for you to accompany him?"
When Wu Xiaoqing heard the word "movie", she immediately thought of Ma Jianbo. When she thought of the time when he asked her to watch a movie, she ignored the hint from Wu's mother and said directly:
"It's not convenient. If my boyfriend knew, he would be jealous."
"Xiaoqing, do you already have a boyfriend?" Wu Xiaoqing's words surprised Aunt Song and her family of three.
"She and that guy just confirmed their relationship yesterday. When I found out, I immediately opposed it. I would not allow them to be together."
Worried that her best friend might misunderstand, Wu's mother immediately started to explain.
"Dating is my own business, you have no right to interfere."
Wu's mother's dictatorial behavior exhausted Wu Xiaoqing's patience.
After saying that, Wu Xiaoqing turned and left.
"Xiaoqing!" Seeing his daughter leave angrily, Father Wu shouted from behind.
"Why are you yelling at her? You've spoiled her. Let her calm down." Mother Wu pulled Father who was about to leave and accused him.
Father Wu looked at Wu Xiaoqing's back and sighed helplessly.
It turns out that my mother didn't agree with me and Ma Jianbo being together, and she was planning this.
Wu Xiaoqing, who had walked away, had already figured out the real reason why her mother did not agree with her and Ma Jianbo being together.
"Brother Ma, my mother arranged a blind date for me." The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Wu Xiaoqing called Ma Jianbo and told him the whole story.
"Xiaoqing, where are you? I'm coming to find you." After listening to Wu Xiaoqing's crying, Ma Jianbo responded anxiously.
Half an hour later, Ma Jianbo appeared in front of Wu Xiaoqing.
"Silly girl, why are you crying? Just solve the problem." Ma Jianbo comforted Wu Xiaoqing as he pulled her into his arms with concern.
"My mother is very stubborn. Once she makes a decision, she won't change it." Wu Xiaoqing complained to Ma Jianbo.
"I'll take you home. Have a good rest and don't think too much. This weekend, I'll go home with you and solve the problem face to face."
Ma Jianbo made a prompt decision.
