Chapter 12 He really wanted to grow up quickly
The next day, You Huan came to my house for dinner.
Li Mai whispered to her that Chengcheng didn't want to go to kindergarten.
You Huan felt that whether or not her child went to kindergarten was irrelevant; the most important thing was that the child was happy.
"It's okay if he doesn't go to kindergarten, but is it alright for him to be home alone?"
"Why don't you take him to my place? I'm fine right now."
Li Mai waved her hand: "No need."
She felt quite embarrassed that Youhuan was always bothering her.
Besides, You Huan will have to work sooner or later; she can't stay at home forever.
You Huan thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't you ask your mom to come and take care of Chengcheng?"
Thinking of her mother's cold gaze, Li Mai shook her head: "Forget it, she doesn't like Chengcheng, and Chengcheng doesn't like being with her either."
"What should we do then?"
“Chengcheng said he can manage at home alone. I’m considering it, but I’m still worried.”
You Huan: "Chengcheng is very independent. Why don't you let him try it? Install a few surveillance cameras at home so you can see him anytime."
Li Mai thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
That evening, Li Mai and Chengcheng had a face-to-face talk.
"Chengcheng, Mommy promises you you don't have to go to kindergarten, but you can only take two days off a week, and you have to go the other three days."
Chengcheng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Getting two days is not bad.
"Mommy, can I not go to kindergarten tomorrow?"
Li Mai: "..."
Li Mai helped Chengcheng get two days off.
The surveillance camera she ordered arrived, and she installed it overnight.
Monday morning.
Before leaving for work, Li Mai pulled Chengcheng aside and gave him a thousand and one instructions.
"Chengcheng, you mustn't open the door when someone knocks, understand? No matter who it is, you mustn't open it."
Chengcheng nodded: "I understand, Mom."
"Don't use the gas. I've put your lunch in the microwave. You can heat it up and eat it. I've taught you how to use a microwave."
"Okay, Mom, I know how to use it."
"Don't climb out the window."
"Um."
"Do not touch electricity."
"OK."
"Call your mom if anything happens."
"Okay, Mom, you're going to be late for work."
Li Mai glanced at the time; it was indeed getting late.
She glanced at Chengcheng again, still feeling uneasy, before leaving the house.
Chengcheng stood in the center of the room.
He really wanted to grow up quickly so that his mother wouldn't always worry about him.
...
Li Mai ran into her boss while parking her car.
"President Ji."
Ji Wangyu glanced behind her: "Bought a car?"
"Yes, a used car."
"Looks good, how much?"
"Twenty thousand yuan."
"How many?"
Ji Wangyu thought he had misheard.
Li Mai repeated: "Twenty thousand yuan."
Ji Wangyu: "..."
He paused for a moment, then muttered, "Are used cars really that cheap these days?"
Li Mai: "I was lucky to come across a promotion at a used car dealership, and the price of this car was greatly reduced."
Ji Wangyu joked, "Next time I'll try my luck at a used car dealership too."
Li Mai knew he was joking.
Ji Wangyu drives luxury cars, so why would he buy a used car?
The two took the elevator upstairs together.
Li Mai took out her phone to check the home security camera footage.
On the screen, Chengcheng is doing push-ups.
Ji Wangyu leaned closer and said, "Wow, your son is pretty impressive!"
Li Mai smiled proudly: "Yes, I think so too."
Ji Wangyu: "..."
This woman is not humble at all.
Li Mai watched the surveillance footage with great satisfaction for a while.
The following week went very smoothly.
Chengcheng is very obedient at home.
Exercise, read and study, do housework.
He tried his best to keep himself under surveillance, so that Li Mai could see him whenever she turned on the monitor.
I stayed home for two days, and then I have to go to kindergarten for the next three days.
Having promised his mother, he went without hesitation.
When he's in a good mood, he's willing to interact with the children and reluctantly cooperate with the teacher.
The teacher reported Chengcheng's situation to Li Mai and praised him.
Li Mai was very happy.
Zhou Songyan, however, was not so happy.
His family is pressuring him to get married.
Every day, Mrs. Zhou would go to his office and have her secretary bring her a chair, which would then be placed next to his desk.
She nagged at him, "My dear grandson, you're not young anymore, you should consider getting married."
"Grandma has found a few nice girls for you, would you like to meet them?"
Zhou Songyan ignored him completely, focusing only on signing the documents.
The main point is to remain silent.
Grandma Zhou took a stack of photos out of her bag and pushed them in front of him: "Stop looking at the documents, look at these pretty girls."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
He glanced at the photos.
Every single photo is meticulously edited.
What pretty girl! She's not even worth watching porn!
"It's not good-looking."
Grandma Zhou got anxious and spread out the photos one by one.
"Look closely, what's wrong with it? It's beautiful!"
"This one is fair-skinned and beautiful."
"This one is tall with long legs."
"This one has a great figure, with a prominent bust and buttocks."
"And this one, look how big its eyes are!"
Zhou Songyan remained unmoved: "Grandma, that's your perspective. From my point of view, none of them are pretty. Anyway, I don't like them."
Grandma Zhou said with a stern face, "Whatever you like, I'll find it for you."
Zhou Songyan paused.
Someone's face appears in my mind.
That feeling of irritability came back.
Grandma Zhou: "Give me a description, what kind of person are you looking for?"
Grandma Zhou was very anxious.
Zhou Songyan has been single for several years.
I heard that he had a girlfriend several years ago.
I called her happily and said, "Grandma, I have a girlfriend now."
This made her very happy.
"Is it pretty?"
"nice."
When are you going to bring it back so I can see it?
"I'll take her home after I finish my work."
She waited and waited, until her grandson told her he wanted to break up.
He was dumped by that girl.
He concealed his identity from her, and the girl disliked him because of his poor circumstances.
She thought to herself, "Fine, we'll break up then. This kind of girl isn't reliable anyway."
Who would have thought that the grandson never dated again?
In the past two years, she has introduced him to several potential partners, but he has refused to meet them no matter what.
She was so anxious that several more strands of her hair turned white.
Zhou Songyan gave the old lady three words: "I don't know."
Grandma Zhou's face turned black.
“Our Zhou family is large and prosperous, and we need someone to inherit it in the future. If you don’t find a girlfriend or get married, what will you do in the future?”
"Let me tell you, men also have their prime. When they get older, they can't have children anymore. What they say online is that their sperm is not active. They're old and can't run anymore."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
His face was full of black lines.
The old lady dared to say anything.
"Grandma, stop nagging me. I know what I'm doing. Let me focus on my work. Your constant nagging is affecting my work efficiency."
Grandma Zhou stubbornly insisted, "I won't leave unless you agree to the blind date."
Zhou Songyan called Sun Yuanjie over: "Secretary Sun, take my grandmother home."
Grandma Zhou grabbed the table: "I'm not leaving!"
Sun Yuanjie: "..."
Zhou Songyan had a headache and was speechless.
In the end, he couldn't win against the old lady and agreed to go on the blind date on Saturday.
