Chapter 27
At noon, Li He and his friend came to Li Ningyun's company to pick up Li Ningyun for hot pot.
During the meal, Li Ningyun and Baihe had a very pleasant conversation.
This made it difficult for Li He, who was sitting next to him, to get a word in.
Li He sat aside, looking at his mother with mixed feelings.
Such a scene had never appeared in his mind.
The mother is able to get along well with her girlfriend.
He was happy but also a little jealous.
He never knew his mother had so much to say.
Li Ningyun looked at the awkward Li He and laughed, "When are you two going to let me meet my mother-in-law?"
"Ah?" Li He was a little unresponsive. Didn't his mother just tell him about this this morning?
Why are you urging me again at noon?
Lily had just heard Li He mention this matter in the morning, and was asked about it by Li Ningyun at noon.
She blushed and lowered her head.
Li Ningyun looked at her silly boy staring at her blankly, speechless: "What? You didn't tell Lily? I don't know how my mother-in-law finalized the matter between you two."
Lily was afraid that Li Ningyun might misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "Auntie, Li He told me about it, but I haven't discussed this matter with my family yet."
Li Ningyun nodded: "Well, it's okay. Then remember to tell your parents. When we agree on a time, I will bring this silly boy to visit my in-laws. You and Li He have been together for quite some time, so it's better to settle it as soon as possible. What do you think?"
Li Ningyun's mission in this world is relatively easy, which is to make these two children live happily together.
Li He could do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't kill people, set fire to people, or commit crimes. He could do whatever he wanted.
Lily blushed and nodded when she heard what Li Ningyun said.
Li Ningyun smiled and changed the subject.
Three days later, on Sunday morning, Li He was woken up by Li Ningyun.
They have an appointment to have dinner with Lily's parents today.
So Li He went home last night.
Li He yawned and looked at Li Ningyun who was rummaging through boxes and cabinets. "Mom, what do you want me to do so early in the morning?"
Li Ningyun looked at Li He who was still yawning and said speechlessly, "Master, it's already late. You have to get up and pack up quickly. You have to go to the restaurant to meet your future mother-in-law at noon. This first meeting is very important. You have to leave a good impression."
Li He quickly stopped Li Ningyun from holding the professional suit: "Mom, Lily's parents are both teachers, don't be too serious, it will make people feel distant."
Li Ningyun nodded quickly and put down the suit in his hand: "You're right, you reminded me, I have to choose carefully today."
Li He looked at the somewhat nervous Li Ningyun, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Mom, are you nervous?"
Li Ningyun rolled her eyes in her heart: Why be nervous? I have experienced many big occasions. If it wasn’t for the fact that I wanted to put on a show in front of you and make you happy, I would still be dating Zhou Gong.
"What's so funny? I've been through everything, your mom. Isn't it just meeting my future in-laws? How could I be scared?"
Li He felt a little funny when he saw his mother suddenly raising her voice. He was sure that his mother was just nervous.
He looked at the professional suits that filled most of Li Ningyun's wardrobe, shook his head, and took out the aqua blue dress that Li Ningyun had bought the last time he went shopping with Lily. "Mom, just wear this. It's good. It's elegant and generous, and it makes people feel close to you."
Li Ningyun smiled secretly in his heart: You have good vision.
Li Ningyun originally planned to buy this dress for her in-laws.
After the two of them had packed up, Li Ningyun drove to the booked hotel.
Twenty minutes later, Lily appeared at the door with her parents.
This is a well-dressed middle-aged couple.
Li He was stunned for a moment when he saw Lily's mother. He quickly stood up and looked at the middle-aged woman: "Teacher Zhang?"
The middle-aged woman looked at Li He and reflected for a moment before saying, "Are you Li He?"
Li He smiled and said, "It's me, Teacher Zhang."
After Li He finished speaking, he excitedly introduced himself to his mother: "Mom, this is my high school homeroom teacher, Teacher Zhang. Teacher Zhang, this is my mom."
Li Ningyun looked at Zhang Lan, who exuded a refined and elegant temperament, smiled and shook her hand, saying, "Hello, Teacher Zhang, I am Li He's mother. Oh, you see, we are really destined to meet."
Li Ningyun took Zhang Lan's hand and looked at Lily's father. "This must be Lily's father, right? Hello. Let's stop standing and sit down to chat."
After they sat down, Li Ningyun looked at Zhang Lan and said with a smile, "Teacher Zhang, I haven't thanked you for taking care of Li He in high school. I was very busy at that time and didn't ask to visit you. It was really rude."
Zhang Lan smiled and shook her head: "No, this is what I should do, and Li He was also very well behaved when he was in school."
Li Ningyun smiled and looked at Baihe. "If we talk about well-behaved, then Baihe is the best. This child is obviously well-educated. The other day, Li He told me that you two were teachers, and I knew it was right. Now that I've met you two today, I know that the parents who can raise such an outstanding child like Baihe must also be extremely outstanding."
The two were a little overwhelmed by Li Ningyun's enthusiastic attitude: "Haha, haha, you're too kind. Li He is also an extremely outstanding child."
Upon hearing this, Li Ningyun quickly climbed up the pole. "Hey, Li He mainly looks like his father. By the way, Teacher Zhang, has Lily told you about our family situation?"
Lily's parents looked at each other.
They felt a little uneasy when they found out that Lily had a boyfriend whose family was very rich.
She was afraid that the other party would look down on her family situation and embarrass Lily.
Lily is a very strong-willed child.
They also don't want their children to suffer any injustice.
When the two of them came today, they had already prepared for the worst.
If the boy's parents have a bad attitude, they must take their child home no matter what.
Li Ningyun pretended not to notice the exchange of glances between the two. She continued with a smile, "When Li He was five years old, his father died in a car accident. I then took over the company's business and had no time to take care of him. He's a sensible child, studying quietly without making any noise or fuss. This freed me up to manage the company.
I, as a mother, feel sorry for my child. I wasn't able to spend enough time with him when he was little. Now he's grown up, and luckily he didn't grow up crooked. Otherwise, I would have let his father, who passed away so early, down down the line.
After Li Ningyun finished speaking, he wiped the corners of his eyes.
Zhang Lan quickly handed over a tissue and softly consoled him, "It's not easy for you either, a woman supporting such a big business. Li He is a sensible and good boy, he understands you."
Li He was a little at a loss. He wanted to go forward to comfort his mother, but after being glared at by Li Ningyun, he sat back in his chair quietly.
Li He was speechless. He finally knew where his acting talent came from...
Li Ningyun took Zhang Lan's hand and said, "Teacher Zhang, I won't beat around the bush with you. I really like Lily. I asked you and Mr. to come here today just to ask what you think of the two children. I also know that your family is a scholarly family and you may look down on people like us who come from ordinary backgrounds.
But the two kids really like each other, so I'm just being shameless and wanting to get a better relationship with them."
Zhang Lan looked at Li Ningyun, whose face was full of sincerity, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Fortunately it wasn’t the Hongmen Banquet.
Zhang Lan smiled and said, "From what you said, there's no such thing as marrying above your station or not. Even if there is, it's our family that's marrying above their station."
Li Ningyun smiled and said, "Then you see, the two children have been together for such a long time, shouldn't they be engaged? Does your family have any requirements for the betrothal gift?"
Zhang Lan shook her head. "We don't have any requirements for the betrothal gift. Lily is our only child, and she's never had to endure any hardship since she was little. Our only request is that we don't let her suffer any hardship."
Li Ningyun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you said it right to my heart. My own child will never be wronged. Since your family has no requirements for the betrothal gift, then just follow my ideas."
"I currently live in a suburban villa area. There's an empty house there. I'll transfer it to Lily and let her decorate it to her own taste. As for the betrothal gift, 18.88 million. Is that okay with you?"
Zhang Lan looked at Baifu in shock. After Li Ningyun finished speaking, she quickly waved her hand to refuse: "This is too much. This won't do. We can't accept it."
Li Ningyun smiled and took Zhang Lan's hand. "That's just the beginning. I like Lily no matter how I look at her. As long as I can marry her home as my daughter-in-law, I'll be happy no matter how much you give me."
Li Ningyun felt that considering Lily's sincere devotion to her silly son in the previous life, no matter how much she gave, it was her due.
Moreover, after spending the past two days together, Li Ningyun also particularly likes Lily's personality.
Gentle and generous, resolute and decisive.
She is one of the few heroines that she has a favorable impression of among all the worlds she has traveled through.
Li Ningyun ignored Zhang Lan's refusal and used her eloquence to convince Lily's parents in just one meal.
The two of them were still dizzy on the way back.
Until Li Ningyun sent the two of them downstairs, the company's phone call did not go upstairs.
However, Li Ningyun took Li He and Baihe with him before leaving.
The couple sat on the sofa in their home, still a little overwhelmed.
How could I have agreed to let the two children get engaged next month?
"Old man, why can't I react?" Zhang Lan looked at her husband weakly.
Bai's father rolled his eyes. "Why did you promise her that the two children would be engaged next month?"
Zhang Lan glanced at her husband and asked, "Why didn't you stop me at that time?"
Baifu was silent.
He was also fooled by Li Ningyun at the time and couldn't see the truth.
Zhang Lan saw what her husband was thinking, sneered, and sighed, "It's no wonder she can support such a large family business as a woman. Her eloquence is unmatched by ordinary people."
Baifu: “…Hmm!”
The two looked at each other and sighed in unison: "Ah..."
Li Ningyun was driving the car, looking at the two young people sitting in the back through the rearview mirror and teasingly said, "Okay, now your relationship is settled."
Lily blushed and glanced at Li He secretly.
Li He's smile has never faded since he was at the dinner table.
Li Ningyun was too embarrassed to watch: "What a fool! Lily, I'll have to work hard for you in the future."
Li He: “…”
The embarrassment on Lily's face also dissipated a lot with Li Ningyun's words: "Haha."
Li He looked at his mother and fiancée speechlessly.
My heart is gradually filled with a feeling of happiness.
He looked at his sweetheart with deep affection as she smiled.
Feeling Li He's affectionate gaze on her.
The blush that had just faded from Lily's face crept up on her cheeks again.
Li Ningyun saw the two of them looking at each other affectionately from the rearview mirror and couldn't help but sigh: It's great to be young~
After dropping the two people off on the road and letting them move freely, Li Ningyun drove to the company.
When the assistant saw Li Ningyun return, he followed in with a stack of documents. "Mr. Li, regarding the acquisition of Star Emperor Entertainment that you instructed us to do earlier, our people have already negotiated with them. They've offered 100 million yuan. We've done a risk assessment, and the price seems reasonable. What do you think?"
Li Ningyun nodded and said, "Contact the legal department and get this done."
The assistant nodded: "Okay, Mr. Li, I'll do it right away. Do you have any other instructions?"
Li Ningyun shook his head: "You go out first."
The assistant nodded and left the office.
Li He also received a call from his agent Wang Peng.
Li He and Baihe went to find Wang Peng together.
Wang Peng looked at the two people who were so close to each other and was a little amused: "Why are they still so clingy? It seems that the parent-teacher meeting on both sides went very smoothly."
Li He replied to Wang Peng with a cheeky smile: "I can't help it, I'm so happy. A single person like you can't understand our love."
Wang Peng: “…”
"Okay, stop being so funny. I have a variety show on my hands. Do you want to participate?"
Li He was curious because Wang Peng had never thought of letting him participate in variety shows before.
It is said that actors should not be exposed to the public too much except on the screen.
Otherwise, after watching it too many times, the audience will easily be distracted by the characters played by the actors.
Now Wang Peng actually took the initiative to talk to him about participating in a variety show.
This surprised Li He: "Dapeng, what variety show is this?"
Wang Peng smiled and said, "The name of the variety show is 'My Mother-in-Law'. Hasn't it been officially announced that you have a girlfriend? So this variety show found me and wants you to bring your mother and Lily to the show. I was thinking that your aunt has been trying to stop you from acting before, so it would be good for her to learn more about it. And doesn't Lily want to start her own clothing brand? This can also give her some early publicity. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Li He raised his chin a little proudly: "Dapeng, my mother said that if I want to act, I can act, and she won't stop me anymore!"
Wang Peng looked at the smug Li He and became happy: "Really? So, you can get more roles in the future?"
Li He nodded proudly: "Yeah!"
This is really great. Wang Peng is very happy for Li He.
He and Li He were roommates in college.
The relationship between the two has always been very good. Over the years, Li He not only did not support his work, but also often obstructed it.
So although Li He had acting skills, not many good scripts came to him.
Now that Li He's mother no longer stops him, Li He can realize his dream with peace of mind.
Wang Peng was truly happy for Li He.
