"Jingyu, about this matter..."
“It’s true,” Long Jingyu interrupted Lan Peizhi impatiently, “Sister-in-law, can you bear to ruin the marriage of two young people?”
Lan Peizhi said, "Of course I don't want to ruin such a good thing, but Xingzhou hasn't said anything yet. What if I, as a mother, do something wrong with good intentions? Wouldn't that damage the relationship between us? Jingyu, let me find out more before we talk about it."
Lan Peizhi was implying that Long Jingyu was acting recklessly and trying to sow discord between her and her son.
Long Jingyu didn't want to miss the opportunity to bring them together, so she quickly said, "Sister-in-law, this kind of thing can't wait for anyone."
"A lifelong commitment is not something to be taken lightly. Besides, these days we value free love. Even if I, as her mother, like the Tang family's daughter, but Xingzhou doesn't, I can't force him."
He said this to remind Long Jingyu not to project her dominance onto the Long family.
Upon hearing this, Long Jingyu became somewhat displeased.
Lan Peizhi's words were a warning, and also a way of saying that she had overstepped her bounds.
After all, she was her sister-in-law from her maternal family, so Long Jingyu couldn't afford to offend her and could only say, "Of course!"
Lan Peizhi didn't care what Long Jingyu was thinking. She turned around and called Long Xingzhou, asking him to come home that night.
Long Xingzhou was somewhat puzzled.
There are also some concerns.
Why are you suddenly calling him home? Could something have happened?
Long Xingzhou didn't dare to delay and went home that night.
Long Jingyu sat on the sofa in the living room, staring intently.
Seeing Long Xingzhou return, he couldn't hide his smile. "Xingzhou is back."
If she can bring Long Xingzhou and Tang Zijing together, the Tang family will also give her certain benefits in the future.
Her family will also prioritize her.
Its main function is to be able to interfere in the affairs of the Long family.
"Aunt."
"Why is Xingzhou back today?" Hou Guifang asked with a smile as she brought out fruit.
Seeing that everything was alright at home, and Hou Guifang asking again, Long Xingzhou glanced at Lan Peizhi and said, "I suddenly felt like going home to visit."
Long Jingyu knew that Lan Peizhi had specifically called the person back.
That night, after everyone had gone to sleep, Lan Peizhi knocked on Long Xingzhou's door.
Long Xingzhou was still dealing with some things and hadn't even taken a shower.
"mom."
"Why are you still busy?" Lan Peizhi frowned slightly.
“There’s still one contract I haven’t finished reading,” Long Xingzhou asked. “Mom, is there something you need?”
"There's something I wanted to ask you about."
Long Xingzhou quickly let Lan Peizhi in.
"Please speak your mind."
"Your aunt wants to set you up with the Tang family's daughter. She said you and Zijing are close and mutually in love?"
Upon hearing this, Long Xingzhou was taken aback.
Suddenly, I found it funny. "Where did these aunties get all this from?"
"I didn't ask that. If you really have feelings for Zijing, Mom can..."
“Stop,” Long Xingzhou said with a smile. “Tang Zijing and I are not what you think. We just happen to bump into each other two or three times. She greets me, and I always have to respond.”
"Is that all?" Lan Peizhi looked at Long Xingzhou.
Long Xingzhou chuckled and said, "What else do you want?"
"Your aunt wouldn't lie to you, would she?"
"Mom, I really don't have anyone I like. You don't need to guess. Besides, I'm only twenty-four. There are plenty of people who aren't married by thirty these days. If you're eager to have a grandchild, you can urge Hongwen to get married."
Long Hongwen is Long Xingzhou's younger brother and is currently a university student.
Lan Peizhi looked at her eldest son speechlessly: "Your brother is still studying, and it will be a few years before he gets married."
"Then you can wait a few more years."
"You really have no interest in anyone?"
“No,” Long Xingzhou said, even more helplessly.
"I heard that two men who eloped in the capital were caught, and one of them even died..."
Long Xingzhou was immediately at a loss for words, "Mom, what are you thinking? I don't have that kind of hobby."
Lan Peizhi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Xingzhou, this road is not easy to walk. If your father finds out that you have contracted this strange disease, he will be furious. He might even break your legs. Don't follow the example of others."
Long Xingzhou frowned and said, "Mom, this isn't a strange illness; it's just that the two people in love happen to be the same sex."
“I don’t care, our family absolutely cannot have this disease,” Lan Peizhi said in a deep voice.
Long Xingzhou said speechlessly, "Mom, I told you I didn't."
"Yes, of course Mom knows you're not." Lan Peizhi had noticed that her son had never liked playing with girls since he was a child, and looking back on all these years, he hadn't been as playful as those young masters in Beijing.
When I heard him say he wasn't interested in anyone, my heart skipped a beat.
That's when he said those words to confirm.
"Mom, if you have nothing else to do, I'll continue with my work."
“I’ll talk to your aunt. If you ever find a girl you like, be sure to bring her home to meet everyone! Don’t let her be wronged.”
"I see."
"The day before yesterday, your aunt was thinking of introducing someone to Yunting, but then she brought you up instead."
Long Xingzhou frowned deeply: "Yun Ting is already married, is Aunt trying to break them up?"
"That's right, they're openly trying to replace Sheng Qian with Yun Ting. I wonder if they'll reject her this time, but then tell Yun Ting later."
“Mom, Auntie has gone too far. As Yunting’s parents, she hasn’t said a word yet, and she’s meddling in her own family’s affairs without even handling her own. No wonder Grandpa is angry. We can’t tolerate this kind of behavior from Auntie.” Long Xingzhou was starting to have some opinions about this auntie.
"It's not our place to talk about this."
