Qiao Xiaoni was the last to put down her chopsticks: "I'm going back to my room to change my clothes. You wait for me here."
"Okay," Zhou Meiling obediently agreed.
Su Chenhao tidied up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and then went back to the kitchen to wash them.
Watching how they interacted, Zhou Meiling felt even more envious. She just wanted her future life to be half as sweet as theirs.
Qiao Xiaoni put on Su Chenhao's big cotton coat because she was afraid it was too cold outside, and then put on a scarf.
I should be warm now. I looked in the mirror and I look a little bulky, but it doesn't matter as long as I'm not cold.
He then opened the door and waved to Zhou Meiling.
Seeing how thickly she was dressed, Zhou Meiling realized that it was indeed better to wear more clothes given the weather outside.
Su Chenhao felt relieved when he saw his wife put on his thick cotton-padded coat. It was so cold outside; wearing something warmer could only do good.
Qiao Xiaoni waved goodbye to Su Chenhao, then went downstairs with Zhou Meiling. There wasn't much snow on the road. She thought it would be faster to take a taxi, so she waved for one at the roadside.
Zhou Meiling also felt that taking a taxi would be faster, so she didn't object, even though taxi fares were more expensive.
Soon a taxi stopped in front of them.
Qiao Xiaoni opened the car door to let Zhou Meiling in, and then went in herself to close the door.
"Where should we go to buy clothes first?" Qiao Xiaoni asked Zhou Meiling, loosening her scarf.
"Let's go to the China World Trade Center first," Zhou Meiling said to the driver after a moment's thought.
The driver stepped on the gas and turned right to set off.
Zhou Meiling looked at Qiao Xiaoni: "The clothes in the Guomao Building are relatively expensive, and most of them are this year's popular styles. You should be able to find some suitable clothes there."
The price will definitely be high, but I have no choice; I have to go all out to meet his parents.
"Dressing appropriately is a sign of respect. Do you know what his parents do?"
"His father is an engineer at a machinery factory, and his mother is a doctor, though I didn't find out which hospital. Anyway, his family is much better off than mine. Only my father works outside; my mother stays at home."
"Oh, so it seems his family is indeed quite well-off."
"I don't know if they'll like me."
"Don't worry! They'll definitely like you because you're so cute," Qiao Xiaoni comforted her.
Zhou Meiling looked out the car window: "Actually, I've already made up my mind. If his parents don't like me, then I'll just end things with him."
A marriage without parental blessings will ultimately only leave the spouse exhausted.
"That's true, but if he's serious about his feelings for you, are you really willing to give it up?"
"I don't know." The look of disbelief on Zhou Meiling's face gradually faded away.
“Meiling, let me tell you, the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law problem is one of the most difficult problems in the world. Not all mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships have problems, but most are like this. If he truly loves you, what's wrong with making an effort for him? It's so rare to meet someone who truly matches your heart in a lifetime.”
"That's true. We haven't even met yet. Why am I thinking so much? Maybe his parents will like me, and even if they don't, they'll like me for his sake. If I try harder to please them, maybe it will work out."
"Well, so what you need to do now is relax. I'll go to the mall and pick out some clothes, then dress up nicely and show my best side."
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Zhou Meiling was full of confidence because she was determined to fight for Song Mingyuan.
