Surprise #083: I like the Fu family's daughter.
Liang Yuhao lowered his head, looking very unhappy, but when he looked up again, a smile had appeared on his face.
"Mom, look how pathetic you're making yourself sound. How could I bear not to come home to see you after I've come back? It's just... it's just that I've been quite busy lately!"
As he spoke, he realized he didn't even believe his own words, and his voice grew softer and softer.
Upon hearing his words, tears immediately welled up in Qi Mengying's eyes, and she spoke in a tearful voice.
"What are you busy with? You're just busy playing games and flirting with girls all day long, aren't you? Tell me, how long have you been back? Are you busy every day? I think... you're deliberately trying to avoid me!"
Liang Yuhao was afraid of two things: Qi Mengying forcing him to go on blind dates and her crying! But what he feared most was exactly what happened. Qi Mengying had always been pampered by Liang Baiming, so even though she was almost fifty, she still had the mentality of a young girl, most notably, she was extremely sensitive!
He deeply felt that if the person in front of him wasn't his mother, Liang Yuhao would really go berserk. However, she was his most beautiful and gentle mother, so he could only comfort her gently.
"Mom, don't think like that. I'm really busy! Besides, my older brother is at home. If I go back... I'll just be idle. It's better to work here so that Dad won't always say I'm lazy. It'll also prevent you and Dad from arguing because of me!"
Liang Yuhao's mother was Liang Baiming's second wife. His first wife died young, and when his son was seven years old, he met Qi Mengying. The two fell in love at first sight and got married.
Qi Mengying is kind-hearted and treats Liang Baiming's eldest son as her own. If the relationship between the two is closer than that between her and her own son, Qi Mengying feels uncomfortable thinking about it.
What mother in this world would want her child to be distant from her? That would be the most painful thing for a mother! But Liang Yuhao has never been close to Qi Mengying since childhood; they only have the most basic politeness.
"By the way, Mom, how did you know I work here?"
Liang Yuhao didn't know how to comfort Qi Mengying. Sometimes he found it strange that his older brother could always comfort their mother so quickly, while he just couldn't.
"If I run into Mrs. Fu outside, I won't even know you're back and still working at Maoguang!"
Qi Mengying sat in the chair, wiping away her tears with a handkerchief. The thought that her son hadn't come home to see her immediately after returning made her tears start falling again.
He had intended to change the subject to avoid upsetting Qi Mengying, but instead, her tears flowed even more! Liang Yuhao rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache, then walked behind her with a grin and gently massaged her shoulders.
"Hehe, even if I didn't go home, Mom, you still found me, didn't you? How about that? Weren't you surprised to find me like that?"
"What's so surprising? You have no idea how much Mom has missed you all this time! If you're not coming home, you should at least call! You're so heartless!"
Why are you calling? Are you telling me you've got your eye on another girl? You want a grandson, but I don't want to get married! Liang Yuhao muttered to himself, but he couldn't say these words aloud, because every time he did, Qi Mengying would cry, and cry very sadly!
"Surprise, surprise! Once you've dealt with all of these, they're all gone!"
Qi Mengying knew that her son didn't like coming home, so she stopped dwelling on it. She took Liang Yuhao's hand, her eyes full of affection.
"Yu Hao, you absolutely must meet your Uncle Zhao's daughter when you come back this time. I've met her several times, and she's truly wonderful and perfect. I'm sure you'll like her!"
Mom, don't you know that I could never like anything you've set your sights on? You only like daughters raised by wealthy families according to the standards of a well-bred lady, but in today's society, who would like a girl who is even required to show only eight teeth when she smiles?
However, Liang Yuhao couldn't say anything, because his mother was such a lady, and his father was overjoyed with her, spoiling her like a treasure all day long!
"Mom, you don't need to worry about these things anymore. When you have time, go on a trip abroad with Dad! If you keep worrying about these things, people will get old, and Dad won't like it anymore!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your dad would never do that! He said he's only ever loved me! Even your older brother's mother can't compare to me!" Qi Mengying's tone would change whenever Liang Baiming was mentioned, her eyes filled with a girlish, happy smile. Just mentioning him made her happy. But she quickly realized that she had come for her son's sake, not to talk about herself!
"Don't try to change the subject. Just tell me, are you going to see him or not this time? And if you do see him, don't make him leave like you did before!"
"Mom... I didn't change the subject at all!" Liang Yuhao sat down opposite Qi Mengying, looking at her with a helpless expression. "I already have a girlfriend, how can I go see Uncle Zhao's daughter? If word gets out, won't it ruin your friendship with Uncle Zhao? So... you'd better not let me go!"
"What? You have a girlfriend? Which family does she belong to? Is she pretty? Actually, whether she's pretty or not isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is whether she likes you." Upon hearing that her son had a girlfriend, Qi Mengying immediately became excited and grabbed Liang Yuhao's hand, asking him all sorts of questions.
Her question irritated Liang Yuhao. He had only casually mentioned where to find a woman to be his temporary girlfriend! But for some reason, when he thought of a girlfriend, Fu Ziyu's delicate and innocent face appeared before his eyes. He blurted out the answer without thinking.
"Her name is Fu Ziyu, and she's the youngest daughter in the Fu family. But right now, it's just me who likes her. I don't even know if she likes me back. So Mom, please don't say anything when you get home. If you can't see your daughter-in-law or hold your grandson because of what you say, don't blame me!"
"The Fu family? Which Fu family? It can't be..."
"Yes, it's the Fu family you're thinking of!"
Liang Yuhao looked at Qi Mengying in disbelief, shrugged smugly, and then stood up straight.
"A man should look for the best and most challenging woman! I don't care about those ordinary women!"
As soon as he said that, Qi Mengying pursed her lips and unconsciously laughed.
"If you're looking for the best and most challenging woman, why don't you go after the recently divorced heiress from the Gu family? She's the best woman ever!"
Liang Yuhao was stunned by Qi Mengying's words. He had always thought his mother was very conservative; it turned out she was so open-minded!
"Mom, can you accept a relationship between an older woman and a younger man? Can you accept that Gu Mingxia is a divorcee?"
"Divorce is very common nowadays. Your father said that the Gu family's daughter is a very good girl, and even your older brother speaks highly of her!"
"Mom, if your brother has feelings for her, you should go back and talk to him. Don't waste your time. The Gu family's daughter is already taken!"
Qi Mengying smiled and slapped her son lightly.
"How could I not know? It's your friend Xiao Yan! Alright, let's not talk about others. Tell me about you and the Fu family's daughter. What's the progress?"
Obviously, Fu Ziyu and Fu Heng did not tell Mrs. Fu about his forced kiss on Fu Ziyu. Otherwise, given Mrs. Fu's doting fatherly nature, she would have definitely made a scene at the Liang family's house. How could she have calmly told her mother that he was back?
"There's been no progress! Didn't I tell you? It's just a one-sided crush on her, and she doesn't even know I like her yet!"
"Son, this won't do. You have to confess your feelings! How will she know you like her if you don't tell her?"
Qi Mengying spoke very seriously, and Liang Yuhao nodded repeatedly. However, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something and slapped her forehead in surprise.
"I almost forgot, the Fu family's daughter has five older brothers! Yu Hao, if you like this girl, your future days are going to be very difficult!"
With so many brothers-in-law, any marital conflict escalates to a serious level. Although Qi Mengying is happy that her son has found a girl he likes, she is also worried about the potential hardships her son might face in the future.
"Mom, you're overthinking it! Anyway, it's getting late, you should go home quickly. Dad will definitely worry if he doesn't see you when he gets home!"
"Oh dear, I made soup for your dad before I left, I have to hurry back!"
Mentioning Liang Baiming, Qi Mengying immediately forgot about her son. Liang Yuhao was very satisfied with this effect. He quickly handed the bag to Qi Mengying and spoke to her while opening the door.
"Then hurry home! You know Dad's used to your soup, and he'll be very unhappy if he can't have it when he gets home!"
"That's right, I have to go back quickly." Qi Mengying hurriedly walked out, but after taking a few steps, she didn't forget to turn back and talk to Liang Yuhao.
"Yu Hao, you'd better hurry up and pursue the Fu family's daughter! You know, there are bound to be many suitors for such a good girl, and if you don't hurry, someone else will snatch her up!"
"Okay, okay, Mom, hurry up, hurry up, Dad will be off work soon!"
Finally seeing Qi Mengying get on the elevator, Liang Yuhao breathed a long sigh of relief. Every time he saw his mother, it was like a battle. This life... was really heartbreaking!
When he turned around, he saw Fu Ziyu standing behind him with an angry expression, her big eyes filled with clear tears.
"When...when did you get here?"
There's absolutely no sound, okay? Does she always walk like that? Or do people who study art tend to have a mysterious air about them?
"Liang Yuhao, I hate you! You actually spread rumors and ruined my reputation..."
