Upon hearing this, Chu's mother's eyes lit up; she assumed her son was planning to bring his wife home.
If that's really the case, she'll have to tell the old lady about this good news; it'll probably make the old lady incredibly happy.
"Tell me, what do you need Mom for? Don't worry, Mom isn't some ignorant old woman who's all talk and no action and looks down on people. As long as my son likes it, Mom will agree."
Besides, she had met that girl before; she was pretty and seemed to have a good personality. They looked like they got along very well.
Her son likes her, so she's not going to be a wicked mother-in-law.
When Chu Yiyun heard his mother say this, the corners of his mouth turned up even higher; "Mom, if you want a daughter-in-law, then you should listen to your son and celebrate your birthday."
"What?"
"But today isn't my birthday at all! If people knew that your mom celebrates her birthday twice a year, I'd be laughed at to death."
She had already celebrated her birthday a month ago, and it was quite a big celebration; she likes lively occasions.
She invited many close friends and relatives; if she did it again, people would definitely think she's crazy.
Seeing his mother's somewhat reluctant expression, Chu Yiyun persuaded her, "Mom, I've already told Shengnan that today is your birthday. If you don't want this daughter-in-law, then you don't have to celebrate."
Looking at her son's irritating face, Chu's mother punched him a few times on the back: "You unfilial son, you're getting bolder and bolder, making up all sorts of lies. You've made me celebrate my birthday twice, how am I supposed to face people after this?"
"Mom, this time for your birthday, just invite family members. Don't invite any outsiders. Just treat it as a meal at home. Don't feel guilty."
Chu's mother thought it made sense, but she was too embarrassed to ask her family to celebrate her birthday again.
Whoever told the lie, should tell it.
"You make the arrangements! Remember to appease your grandparents and your father."
Chu Yiyun nodded, "Okay."
He had told his dad about this before, but his dad, who wasn't in charge, just said one thing: "As long as your mom agrees, it's fine."
Before picking up Chen Shengnan, Chu Yiyun went to the old house to pick up her grandparents.
On the way back, Chu Yiyun said to his grandmother, "It's my mother's birthday tonight. Do you want a granddaughter-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman was so excited that she didn't even hear the first sentence, only the words "granddaughter-in-law." She immediately grabbed her grandson's hand and asked, "Ah Yun, are you serious? I really have a granddaughter-in-law?"
Chu Yiyun smiled and said, "Grandma, Grandpa, I have someone I like, but it's not quite right yet, she hasn't taken a liking to me."
Old Master Chu asked, "Where is that girl from? What does she do?"
"She is a student at the National University of Defense Technology, and she is also the person who saved me last time."
Upon hearing this, the old man also became excited and said, "The person you like is the girl who saved you last time?"
Chu Yiyun nodded; "But she hasn't taken a liking to me yet, so you guys have to help me out today. I'll tell her it's my mom's birthday today, so don't let it slip."
The elderly couple nodded in agreement, and the old lady said to her grandson, "It's your mother's birthday today, let me celebrate it again in a couple of days. And let your grandfather celebrate it a few days later. Oh, and your father too, let's find more opportunities to have him come."
Chu Yiyun's lips twitched; "Grandma, let's work together well this time, and I'll let you know next time."
The old woman nodded, then suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "You rascal, why didn't you say so earlier? You had to bring it up halfway here. I didn't even prepare a gift for my granddaughter-in-law."
The old man glared at his grandson and said, "That's right, why didn't you say so sooner? We should still have time to go back and get it now."
As the elderly couple were about to turn back, Chu Yiyun quickly stopped them, saying, "No need, today is my mother's birthday. We'll prepare for your birthday next time, Grandma."
The old lady agreed, thinking it might scare people away if they made too much noise.
After Chu Yiyun took the two elderly people home, he glanced at his watch and saw that it was already past three in the afternoon.
He rode his bicycle directly to the school, arriving at the school gate before four o'clock.
He waited for a while at the school gate and saw Chen Shengnan wearing blue flared jeans, a white shirt, and a gray woolen coat.
Her hair was loose over her shoulders, and she looked so beautiful she seemed to be glowing.
After Chen Shengnan came out, she saw Chu Yiyun's bicycle and frowned, "Why are you riding a bicycle again?"
This time she dared not ride it again; if she did it again like last time, she might develop a phobia of bicycles.
"I promise I won't make you fall this time."
Chen Shengnan didn't believe him. Last time, there was such a big rock and such a steep slope, and he couldn't even see it.
She doesn't believe anything he says now; "Let's walk!"
Chu Yiyun sighed, thinking that walking was an option, and seeing the bag she was carrying, said, "Let me carry it for you!"
Chen Shengnan handed it over directly; the clothes were originally prepared for Chu Yiyun's mother.
It took the two about half an hour to walk to their destination, where the entire Chu family had already prepared a meal and were eagerly waiting at home.
The courtyard at the main gate was open, and the family immediately came out of the main room when they saw the two arrive.
Chen Shengnan looked a little nervous as she saw the whole family come out to greet her.
This family is acting strangely. She's just a guest; there's no need to make such a big fuss!
"Shengnan is here? Come in quickly. I'm so happy that you could come to my birthday party today."
As soon as she entered, she smelled the aroma of food filling the room. Chu's mother held her future daughter-in-law's arm affectionately, seemingly having completely forgotten about her son who was following behind.
The old woman also came closer to Chen Shengnan and said, "Shengnan! We've all heard that you saved my rascal last time. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't be where he is today. You must come and visit this old woman often in the future."
Chen Shengnan smiled and nodded, feeling that this family was too enthusiastic for her to handle.
Chu Yiyun noticed her embarrassment and quickly pushed aside his mother and grandmother, handing the bag to his mother and saying, "Mom, this is a birthday present that Shengnan prepared for you."
As soon as he said that, both Grandma Chu and her mother stared at the bag.
At this moment, Grandma Chu thought to herself, "I've spoiled this grandson for nothing. If only it were her birthday today."
Then she can receive a gift from her future granddaughter-in-law now.
Chu's mother took the bag and took out the clothes inside, which was a bright red sweater.
It's so festive, and I can wear it right now.
"Wow! This sweater is so pretty. I just said I wanted a red sweater this year. I didn't expect Shengnan to be so in sync with me."
