Chapter 152 If I say she likes you, she likes you more than you think(1/2)
Yan Hui once saw a saying on the Internet that when a son brings back a few friends, the one his mother dislikes the most must be his future daughter-in-law.
In the past, she had always imagined that her daughter-in-law was Xu Duanran. It was too late to like her, so how could she not like her.
Now she has a daughter-in-law, and she finds that she doesn't dislike her either.
We only met once at Platinum Lake last time. She was still thinking about her son and didn't pay much attention to this girl who might be her son's girlfriend.
But now it was just the two of them, and Xia Xingruo had been accompanying Yan Hui throughout the afternoon.
The short time they got together made her feel more and more fond of this gentle girl.
The girl wore a white coat with a generous and decent blue sweater underneath. The thick winter coat did not hide her well-proportioned figure.
Yan Hui was used to seeing Xu Duanran's fashionable and bold clothes. Looking at Xia Xingruo, she suddenly felt that there was an unusual indifference and beauty about the girl. She spoke softly and softly, and just being around her made people feel at ease.
She probably understood why her son liked Xia Xingruo. No one could refuse such a sweet girl.
Occasionally, she looked back at her son, only to find that he was looking at her triumphantly, as if to say, "Look at how accurate my guess is, you must like Xia Xingruo."
Xia Xingruo just stayed with Yan Hui like this, without any impatience on his face, and he seemed to be enjoying it too.
They bought a lot of things, and Mr. Zhang paid for all the purchases.
Zhang Guowei knew that his son was rich now, so he was not polite at all. Every time he needed to pay the bill, he stayed far away.
Of course, the son would not let his father go. In the evening, he found a restaurant where everyone in the family spent a lot of money, said he wanted to eat this tonight, and asked his father to treat him.
"You just finished eating at noon and you still eat at night. You really have become a nouveau riche."
Zhang Mingyang's proposal was rejected by Yan Hui, and she chose the restaurant she always went to Linjiang, which was very nostalgic.
When it got dark, Zhang Mingyang sent sister Ruoruo to the set. She still had work tonight.
When it came to parting, Yan Hui was a little reluctant to leave. She took Xia Xingruo's hand and said that she and Yang Yang would go to Steel City to play together if they had time. She invited her.
Zhang Mingyang was happy to see this result. His mother finally stopped insisting on letting him and Xu Duanran be together.
Before leaving, he said to wait for him for a while and come back soon. Don't wait for him to come back and the food will be gone.
"I just know how to eat. Ruoruo hasn't eaten yet tonight. Buy her some food on the way and pay attention to safety." After telling her, she stood on the roadside and watched her son's car drive away.
"You are the mother-in-law, and you fell too fast." Only the husband and wife were left, Zhang Guowei teased his wife.
He followed him all afternoon, watching everything that happened before him. While he wanted to laugh, he also lamented Xia Xingruo's excellence. He rarely saw a junior who could make his wife so happy.
"You are the only one who talks a lot." Yan Hui rolled her eyes at her husband after being exposed, but did not deny her mother-in-law's identity: "Call my second sister again and ask her why she hasn't gotten off work yet."
"You have to ask Yangyang, isn't the second sister helping him now?" Zhang Guowei took out his mobile phone and made a call, asking when Yan Rong would arrive.
"The second sister said she would go home to pick up Xiaoyouzi, let's go in and wait." The two of them went in to order food first.
In fact, Zhang Mingyang cannot be blamed for Yan Rong getting off work so late tonight. Zhang Guowei wrongly blamed his son.
As the new year is approaching, there are many things that need to be dealt with. Accounting is definitely the busiest position. Yan Rong often takes the initiative to stay and work overtime, so she got off work early today.
When the food was halfway through, Yan Rong's family of three appeared in the private room.
Zuo You was a little disappointed because she didn't see her eldest brother, but she still greeted her aunt and uncle sweetly.
Usually when the two families have a meal, the two sisters, Yan Hui and Yan Rong, usually get together to whisper after they have had three rounds of wine and five dishes.
But today was an exception. As soon as Yan Rong sat down, Yan Hui pulled her second sister over and left the two men aside.
"Second sister, I want to ask you something, please tell me the truth." Yan Hui's expression was serious.
From Yan Hui's point of view, Yan Rong must have known Xia Xingruo better since she stayed in the company all the time.
And she guessed that the second sister must have known something for a long time, but she didn't tell her.
Yan Rong didn't know what her sister wanted to ask, but she had a ghost in her heart, so her expression was unnatural: "You said this as if I would lie to you."
Yan Hui didn't pay attention to these details. She asked directly: "What do you think...Xia Xingruo is Yangyang's girlfriend?"
"Have you seen her?" Yan Rong asked.
She didn't directly say that she didn't know him, that would be too false. She was closest to Zhang Mingyang, so how could she not know Xia Xingruo.
"Yeah." Yan Hui nodded and admitted: "We just met at noon today. Yangyang invited us to dinner, so he brought his girlfriend over directly..."
She recounted what happened at noon today to her second sister, and also mentioned the gift from Xia Xingruo.
"How can you have an ordinary meal?" After hearing this, Yan Rong sighed: "If my parents come over, you will almost catch up with your in-laws."
She sighed in her heart, he was indeed her eldest nephew, he was very resolute in his work, and he brought his girlfriend to meet her parents so early.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading, install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
This was good, as it put an end to her younger sister's desire to have Xu Duanran as her daughter-in-law. She didn't want to see her eldest nephew marry into the family.
"He did this, and we didn't even have time to wrap up the red envelopes, so we just gave them cash." Yan Hui coughed lightly and ignored the topic: "Honestly, what do you think of her?"
"You all gave red envelopes?" Yan Rong sounded surprised.
If the matter of finding a wife for Zhang Mingyang was partisan, she would definitely be an unwavering supporter of the Ruoruo Party. She would also be happy to see her sister, an important person, change sides, which meant that there was basically no suspense about the outcome.
Seeing that her sister was staring directly at her with no intention of answering her words, Yan Rong had no choice but to continue: "Yangyang's girlfriend takes good care of him. People in the company also have a very good impression of the boss lady. She is very popular."
She is beautiful and sensible. No one is more suitable to be a wife than her, so you have to take advantage of her."
Everything that came out of her mouth was all praise for Xia Xingruo. She also cited various examples in life to prove that Xia Xingruo was a very good girl.
Yan Hui nodded. What the second sister said was basically consistent with what she knew about Xia Xingruo this afternoon. She just didn't expect that the second sister would give such a high evaluation.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, she hinted in secret that now that Zhang Mingyang has found this girlfriend, he is much better than Xu Duanran.
Yan Hui watched Xu Duanran grow up, as if she were her own daughter, and she was unable to make rational judgments.
Reason told her that Xia Xingruo was indeed excellent, but her emotions made her feel a little uncomfortable when she heard the comments about Xu Duanran.
"The dishes are all here. If you two don't want to eat, we will eat first." Zhang Guowei said.
He probably guessed what his wife was talking about, but he felt that as the elders, there was really no need for them to get too involved in the lives of the younger ones. As long as his son liked it, the rest was not important.
After being interrupted, the two sisters did not continue chatting. Halfway through the meal, Zhang Mingyang drove back, and they could no longer chat.
Although they didn't talk about relationships, the topics were all focused on Zhang Mingyang, and they were all talking about career matters.
Yan Rong praised that her eldest nephew is now the youngest multi-millionaire in Linjiang. The most important thing is that he made it all by himself.
Zhang Guowei thought more. He said, second sister, you are the closest, please help us keep an eye on him and don't let him learn bad things.
Yan Rong was very confident, saying she believed her nephew would never be a bad learner.
This is not a boast, but a fact. As an accountant, she can tell whether a boss is doing bad things just from the accounts. It is common for them to cooperate with some bad things.
She had been coming to Qinglian for a while, and Zhang Mingyang's highest purchase was actually just a car, and it was not a luxury car. All the remaining money was invested in the next project.
He didn't even take a look at Qinglian's huge daily cash flow, he only focused on new projects.
Zhang Mingyang, who is the protagonist of the topic, is sitting at the table and enjoying his meal. Please tell me slowly, these are all mine.
The adults are talking about adults. Zuo You wants her eldest brother to play with her but Yan Rong prohibits her. Now Zhang Mingyang is the protagonist at the dinner table. How can the protagonist leave?
Zuo You suddenly missed the last time she had dinner, but the boss's children were not here today, and Xu Linyou didn't come either.
She was curious why Xu Linyou and her sister didn't come tonight. She asked, but her mother only said that they didn't have time tonight.
Zuo You, who was bored, asked her mother for a mobile phone. After unlocking it skillfully, she started playing the mini-games on it.
After playing for a while, she still felt bored. After thinking about it, she opened the dialing interface and dialed the phone number that she was already familiar with.
"Hello." Xu Linyou's voice came from the phone.
As long as she was with Xu Linyou, Zuo You would always have endless things to say.
She told her about the dinner party tonight on the phone and asked why she and her sister didn't come together tonight.
"Tonight is your family's gathering. It's not convenient for us to go." The childish voice said the words of an adult.
"But you are also our family." The other side responded innocently.
Xu Linyou was stunned for a while before finally coming back to his senses and quickly changed the topic to talk about the holidays and winter vacation homework.
Zuo You was also easily led astray.
Talking to her sister Youzi made Xu Linyou know two things.
First, my brother-in-law's parents are in Linjiang now, and second, they didn't come to see them first like last time.
Although she still didn't know what happened, she had to find a way to bring everyone's attention back together.
...
After eating, the two grown men staggered out.
"We should stay in any hotel. It's not like we don't have room at home. We can sleep on the floor together for one night," Yan Rong said.
After dinner, she invited her sister to stay at home as usual, but they said they had already booked a hotel.
"Second aunt, I have already spent all the money on the hotel. If I don't stay tonight, it will be a waste." Zhang Mingyang stood up and explained.
"Second sister, there are elderly people at your home, so it's always inconvenient for us to go there." Yan Hui also insisted. She had something else she wanted to tell her son later, and it was indeed a lot of inconvenience to stay at the second sister's house.
"What's so inconvenient about this?"
