"And Mom, do you know how much misunderstanding you've caused me?" Xiao Yuan suddenly understood why Bai's father had suddenly changed his attitude towards him that day.
For someone so obsessed with their daughter, knowing that the man was pursuing her daughter while the family was still arranging blind dates for him, it's already a miracle they didn't beat him, okay?
Xiao's mother smiled awkwardly and said she would never do it again.
Despite Xiao Yuan's repeated instructions, Xiao's mother repeatedly assured him that she would not disturb Bai Qingzhi.
After the mother and son went downstairs, Bai Fan could clearly sense Xiao's mother's attitude towards him, and he felt relieved.
Without further ado, Bai Fan politely took her leave, and to express her apology, Xiao's mother had Xiao Yuan personally escort her out.
Neither of them noticed that a camera nearby flashed a few times, capturing both of them in a single shot.
Early in the morning, Bai Qingzhi had just gotten up and went downstairs when she saw a bouquet of bright red roses in the living room.
"Who sent this?" Bai Qingzhi leaned closer to the roses, finding them familiar.
Mother Bai smiled and then replied:
"Xiao Yuan brought the child over, saying he had many at home."
Bai Qingzhi was surprised this time; she really didn't expect Xiao Yuan to take the initiative to send flowers to her family.
Perhaps there were too many roses in the rose garden, and it would be a waste not to give them away.
After fiddling with it for a while, Bai Qingzhi ate breakfast. She had no classes this morning, so she sat and chatted with her mother.
Suddenly, the maid announced that Mrs. Xiao had arrived.
Bai's mother had long been aware of Xiao's mother's eagerness for a daughter-in-law. When Bai's father returned that day, he told her about the third son's family, which made Bai's mother somewhat displeased.
However, since the person had already arrived at the door, it wouldn't be good to refuse to see them. So, with no emotion showing on her face, Bai's mother welcomed Xiao's mother inside.
"Mrs. Xiao, what brings you here today?" Mrs. Bai asked warmly.
Although the two knew each other, they didn't have much interaction.
As soon as Xiao's mother entered, she saw Bai Qingzhi sitting obediently next to Bai's mother. She liked her even more when she saw her in person, thinking that she was even more beautiful than in the photos.
He instructed the servants to put down all the gifts he had brought, and then, smiling, he engaged in a question-and-answer session with Bai's mother, eventually steer the conversation toward Bai Qingzhi.
"This must be Miss Bai?" Madam Xiao looked at Bai Qingzhi with eager eyes.
"She really is very beautiful. Mother Bai is so lucky. Unlike me, I have nothing but two stinky boys," Mother Xiao said with some regret.
She also really liked girls, but unfortunately she gave birth to two sons.
Hearing others praise her child made Bai's mother very happy. In addition, she also found that Xiao's mother was very straightforward and had no ulterior motives during their initial interactions.
Gradually, we started to feel a connection.
Bai Qingzhi felt embarrassed listening to Xiao's mother's praise, and couldn't help but wonder to herself, "Am I really that famous? My reputation has even spread to the Xiao family."
Seeing the expectant look on Xiao's mother's face, Bai's mother coughed lightly, then deliberately asked:
"I heard they've been arranging blind dates for Xiao Yuan lately, and he's taken a fancy to our third brother's daughter?"
At this moment, Xiao's mother wished she could slap herself twice for what she had done back then.
"This was all wishful thinking on my part. Yuan'er told me from the very beginning that I didn't need it, but I still insisted on going my own way. It wasn't until yesterday that I found out that he actually had someone he liked. I was really bewitched back then."
Xiao's mother didn't try to deny it and took all the blame, which made Bai's mother more accepting of her.
If she is the kind of person who lies and is arrogant, she should seriously consider whether to stop letting the two children see each other.
She knew that Xiao Yuan had been looking for opportunities to get close to Bai Qingzhi. Although she was somewhat unwilling, she actually thought Xiao Yuan was a good kid and wanted to get to know him to see if they were a good match.
It seems that Xiao's mother is fine now.
Upon hearing Xiao's mother's words, Bai Qingzhi began to wonder what kind of girl Xiao Yuan would like.
He's so handsome, he must like pretty girls, right?
The two mothers chatted more and more enthusiastically, and before they knew it, it was lunchtime. Bai Qingzhi ate her meal together and then headed to school.
Just then, Liu Chenghan came to see her. She had refused his invitation last time, but this time he came specifically to invite her.
I hope Bai Qingzhi will do me the honor of having dinner together.
Liu Chenghan was very well-mannered. He told Bai's mother about his intentions, and Bai's mother let Bai Qingzhi make the decision herself.
Bai Qingzhi finally agreed.
It's just a meal between friends anyway. If we're worried about misunderstandings, we can just bring Lin Nuannuan along.
Watching the two figures leave, Xiao's mother hurriedly said goodbye, got into the car, and told the driver to drive to Xiao Yuan's company.
When they arrived, Xiao Yuan was signing a contract. He barged in as soon as he finished.
"You're always working, all you do is work. Your wife is about to be stolen away, and you're still working here!" Xiao's mother was furious at her son's lack of ambition.
"Mom, did you eat too much for lunch?" Xiao Yuan asked helplessly, rubbing his forehead.
I was thinking to myself whether I should call my dad back soon, otherwise my mom is just too idle every day.
Enraged, Xiao's mother grabbed his ear and twisted it ninety degrees.
The assistant, sensing things were going badly, had already run out, fearing he might see something he shouldn't and be the target of deliberate retaliation.
After all, Xiao Yuan has a cool, arrogant, and awesome image at the company.
"That boy from the Liu family went to the Bai family to see Qingzhi today, and the two even made plans to have dinner together tonight. You can tell what that boy is thinking at a glance!" Mother Xiao said loudly.
Xiao Yuan frowned. He had a bad feeling about Liu Chenghan, but he had someone investigate and there was nothing wrong with him.
He does have a studio abroad, but it's nothing special.
"Where did they meet?" Xiao Yuan asked, pulling away from his mother's hand.
Seeing that he was taking it seriously, Xiao's mother explained the location and time clearly.
"Didn't I tell you not to bother her? Why did you still go to the Bai family?" Xiao Yuan asked, narrowing his eyes.
Xiao's mother suddenly felt guilty, mainly because she was just too curious.
Without answering, she chuckled twice, then turned and ran off, her steps light and agile, not at all like someone in their fifties.
Xiao Yuan already knew what his mother looked like, and shook his head helplessly.
That evening, Bai Qingzhi arrived on time, but she also brought Lin Nuannuan with her.
Liu Chenghan saw that there was still one person present and immediately knew that Bai Qingzhi was afraid of being misunderstood, so he gave a wry smile.
After cancelling the candlelight dinner reservation, Liu Chenghan returned to his friend's seat.
When Xiao Yuan entered, he saw the two chatting and laughing, and he pretended to be surprised as he walked over.
"Zhizhi, you're here too?" Xiao Yuan stood tall between the two.
When Bai Qingzhi saw him, she was reminded of what Xiao's mother had said earlier that day, and she was momentarily stunned.
In their previous encounters, she almost thought that Xiao Yuan liked her. Luckily, she didn't ask, or she would have lost face terribly.
Seeing that Bai Qingzhi didn't answer, Xiao Yuan wasn't in a hurry. Just then, Liu Chenghan suddenly spoke up:
"Mr. Xiao is here for dinner too? This place specializes in couple's set meals, the taste is alright."
Xiao Yuan seemed to only then notice him, grunted through his nose, and ignored him.
Liu Chenghan frowned slightly, a hint of anger rising in his heart, but it vanished in an instant.
Xiao Yuan did this on purpose.
