Chapter 236 Each with their own thoughts
Lu Mingyuan called "hello" several more times before Lu Mingzheng's slightly interested voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Now that you hear what Third Sister said, this young lady surnamed Jiang seems quite interesting. It would be nice to meet her."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingyuan immediately exploded, "Lu Mingzheng, are you even human? I'm telling you this to remind you not to blindly obey your mother and harm others, especially since this person is someone I admire."
Are you out of your mind? How did you get interested? I'm warning you, don't be that kind of scoundrel, wanting to have your cake and eat it too, or I'll break your legs.
Lu Mingzheng ignored Lu Mingyuan's warning.
He was so engrossed in his joy that he never expected that just when he thought he had reached a dead end, a new path would open up before him.
Jiang Ruzhen actually managed to make her mother look at her differently through her own abilities. If he didn't add fuel to the fire behind the scenes, wouldn't he be letting down the opportunity that God had given him?
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingzheng hurriedly called Bai Jing back, his tone becoming gentler.
"Mom, I was in a bad mood just now, and I spoke to you a little harshly. Please don't take it to heart!"
Bai Jing was flattered by his words. Ever since her youngest son found out that she was faking illness, he had ignored her for more than half a month and had not come home. She never expected that he would take the initiative to apologize to her today.
It seems that the youngest son's heart has always leaned towards her.
She was somewhat smug, after all, he was the child she had carried for ten months and given birth to. Even though there were conflicts and disagreements, her youngest son ultimately chose her.
"Xiao Zheng, Mom knows you've been feeling down lately, I understand. But you have to know that everything I've done is for you. I just want you to be safe, well, and happy."
Lu Mingzheng hummed in agreement. Seeing that his attitude had softened somewhat, Bai Jing quickly seized the opportunity to press her advantage.
"Then come back tomorrow, and I'll introduce you to a young lady. I'm quite satisfied with her in every way."
Son, you've become dull-witted from being in the army and haven't seen the outside world. That's why you've been bewitched by an old woman.
Mom believes you'll like this girl after you meet her. She's much better than the other person you like! You have to trust Mom's judgment.
Yes, he believes it.
Lu Mingzheng couldn't help but nod. He said that he had always been picky and that his tastes were the same as his mother's.
Why did it stop working when it came to Jiang Ruzhen?
It turns out that it was because Mom had never met Jiang Ruzhen in person. After meeting her once, she immediately fell in love with her.
However, Lu Mingzheng didn't want to reveal the truth so soon; he wanted his mother to have more contact with Jiang Ruzhen before making a decision.
He calmly agreed, "Yes, Mom, you're right. I also think you have great taste. I'll go meet her tomorrow."
But let me make this clear: if I really don't like it, please don't force me.
Bai Jing slammed her hand on the table excitedly, "It's a deal! As long as you go on those blind dates, whether it works out or not, Mom won't force you."
“Okay,” Lu Mingzheng agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Jing and Lu Mingzheng both showed long-lost smiles and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Over there, Lu Mingzheng hurriedly got up to greet Jiang Ruzhen and report this important military intelligence.
Bai Jing happily spun around in the living room, "Great, great! That brat has finally come to his senses and is going to give up on that old woman."
Lu Weiguo, who was pretending to read a newspaper nearby, kept his ears perked up, listening to what was happening on her side.
Seeing this, he said in disbelief, "No way, that stubborn little brat actually agreed to your request?"
Bai Jing couldn't help but show off with her eyebrows raised, "He's my son, so naturally he has the same high standards as me. He was misled for a while, but after calming down for so long, and with my guidance, he naturally realized his mistake."
"Heh!" Lu Weiguo chuckled softly, then remained silent.
That youngest son was rebellious by nature and never listened to his parents from childhood.
What? Growing up can actually make you more filial?
He figured that brat was up to no good.
However, he didn't need to remind his wife that some things are better left to their own devices.
The mother and son had been in a cold war for a long time because of a woman. Now that things had finally started to improve, he had to learn to pretend not to hear.
As soon as Jiang Ruzhen got off work, she saw Lu Mingzheng standing in front of the car, smiling at her. He was dressed in a sharp suit and his hair was slicked back with hair oil.
She walked up to him, puzzled, and casually asked, "What's wrong today? Is there something happy that makes you so happy?"
Lu Mingzheng opened the car door for her, helped her sit in the passenger seat, and fastened her seatbelt before walking back to the driver's seat.
He then thoughtfully handed her a water bottle, saying, "Try this, it's mung bean soup I made myself in the cafeteria. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so don't get heatstroke."
Jiang Ruzhen found it somewhat amusing, but still took a few sips. It was indeed moderately sweet and smooth.
"Thank you, but aren't you worrying too much? I draw in the office all day and don't go out in the sun, how could I possibly get heatstroke?"
"Didn't you go out today? It's the middle of the day, the sun is so strong! Come on, drink it all up."
Seeing Lu Mingzheng's eager gaze, Jiang Ruzhen obediently picked up the kettle and sipped the water slowly. However, she soon realized the problem.
"How did you know I went out at noon today? Were you following me?"
"No, I heard it from my third sister. Didn't you meet at the store at noon?"
Lu Mingzheng looked at Jiang Ruzhen with a grin. Jiang Ruzhen raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"What? They recognized me? And what bad things did they say about me to you this time?"
"How could that be? You know my sister has no prejudice against you. And they don't even know your true identity."
Lu Mingzheng winked mischievously at Jiang Ruzhen, who chuckled, "You're so happy just because they didn't recognize me?"
"no."
Why is that?
Lu Mingzheng didn't answer, but instead hummed a song in a relaxed mood, started the car and drove towards the hotel.
This really piqued Jiang Ruzhen's curiosity, and she raised her finger and poked Lu Mingzheng's waist.
"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
Lu Mingzheng felt a tingling sensation on half of his body from the poke, and quickly said seriously, "Jiang Ruzhen, I'm warning you. I'm driving, don't deliberately seduce me, or I won't be responsible if you crash into a tree."
"Besides, they're deliberately teasing me. Who cares about finding out!"
Jiang Ruzhen turned to look out the window, but her heart was still filled with anxiety.
Since the two started living together, Jiang Ruzhen has returned the room she had been staying in and moved all her belongings to the penthouse suite.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Mingzheng impatiently pressed Jiang Ruzhen against the door and kissed her. After not seeing her for three days, Lu Mingzheng could hardly contain himself.
Jiang Ruzhen still remembered what had just happened and struggled fiercely, "Wait a minute, Lu Mingzheng, tell me what happened first, or don't touch me."
"Honey, wait a minute, have pity on me. I've been holding it in for so long... Let me take care of it first... Be good..."
