We should at least give Yao Yao a way out; as for the consequences, Yao Yao, the one who started it all, will have to bear them.
Cheng's mother was not satisfied: "Two years later? No, that's too long. My daughter can't wait that long."
Upon hearing this, Yao Yao was somewhat surprised.
She thought Gao Jiakai wouldn't make a promise, but little did she know he would give this answer.
Even though it was fake, she was already satisfied: "Mom, two years is enough."
Cheng's mother retorted, "What's so great about that? You have no idea about a woman's ideal age for marriage."
Faced with Cheng's mother's refusal to compromise, Gao Jiakai had no choice but to give in: "A year and a half, I guess."
Cheng's mother replied firmly, "No, at most a year."
"Okay... alright!"
Gao Jiakai was helpless.
He had done everything in his power, but he still couldn't extend the time.
A year later, the truth came out, and Yao Yao had only herself to blame.
Gao Jiakai's answer satisfied her quite a bit.
This son-in-law is quite obedient, gentle, and polite; he should be a good man.
Once the wedding date is set, everything will be easy.
Next, she wanted to find out what Gao Jiakai looked like and whether the house and car were real.
These things cannot be clarified over the phone; they can only be verified through a WeChat video call.
Cheng's mother: "Young man, can we have a video call on WeChat?"
Gao Jiakai felt a sense of dread and some resistance: "Uh... Auntie, what do you want to do?"
He was already filled with fear of Cheng's mother.
Anyway, this middle-aged woman is very protective of her son-in-law and will drive him crazy.
Yao Yao also felt that her mother had gone a bit too far.
After everything has been confirmed, why insist on a video call? What exactly are they trying to do?
Gao Jiakai was busy dealing with the Ji Group and had a lot of work assigned by Lin Congzhi. She really didn't want Gao Jiakai to be too tired or develop a dislike for her.
"Mom! Everything has been confirmed, why do we still need a video call?"
"Don't worry about me!"
Leaving her daughter aside, Cheng's mother, like a Sichuan opera performer changing her face, revealed a kind attitude and answered Gao Jiakai's question: "I just want to see what my future son-in-law looks like."
This is easy to resolve. Gao Jiakai blurted out in his haste, "Yaoyao has photos. Just let Yaoyao show them to you."
Despite being given ample face, Gao Jiakai refused to accept it, so Cheng's mother had no choice but to state her purpose directly: "I've seen the photos, but I don't know if you were brought in by Yaoyao to act, or if you're the real person."
"sweat!"
Gao Jiakai never expected that Cheng's mother would be so clever.
If you're not quick-witted enough, she'll definitely see right through you.
Having nothing to hide, he readily agreed after careful consideration: "Okay!"
This future son-in-law is really bold; Cheng's mother likes him very much.
Seeing his mother smiling so happily meant that Gao Jiakai had agreed.
She was completely taken aback that Gao Jiakai would agree to such an unprecedented thing.
Yao Yao had no idea how Gao Jiakai was feeling at that moment.
In the past, Gao Jiakai would have been very impatient and would have hated her, since she was the one who forced him into this situation.
Hopefully, Gao Jiakai doesn't hate her; otherwise, the good image she built in his mind will all vanish.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng's mother waited quietly for Gao Jiakai to make a video call.
...
When Gao Jiakai came out of the room, he was dejected and sullen.
"How is it? Is it done?"
Lin Congzhi, while eating fruit in the living room, asked questions leisurely.
He didn't do anything impolite like eavesdropping.
