Whenever he thought about the meet-and-greet with his in-laws the next day, even though Yang Cheng had been through a lot, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. He didn't sleep much the whole night. Fortunately, his body didn't need to sleep. It was just a habit and it wouldn't affect his mental state.
The next morning, when he walked downstairs, Guo Xuehua was already having breakfast with Lin Ruoxi and Zhenxiu. Yang Cheng sat down and started eating quietly.
In the past, Yang Cheng would always talk about random things, but this time, he had something on his mind and it was a heavy issue, so he felt a little uneasy.
"Brother Yang, why are you so quiet? It's not like you," Zhenxiu said, feeling strange.
Lin Ruoxi was sipping her porridge. When she heard Zhenxiu's words, she glanced at Yang Cheng meaningfully but didn't say anything.
Yang Cheng was a little worried, but he pretended to be fine and smiled, "I'm not a chatterbox, why would I talk like that? Just eat your food and don't ask so many questions. Don't you need to go to school later?"
Zhenxiu wrinkled her nose, disdaining Yang Cheng's lecture. She made a face and didn't think much about it.
Lin Ruoxi didn't eat much and stood up. She said to Guo Xuehua, "Mom, I have a lot of things to do in the company these few days. I don't have time to accompany you. Why don't we go out for dinner? I know a good seafood restaurant, but I haven't had the chance to go."
Guo Xuehua was stunned. Dinner? If it was in the past, she would definitely be happy to have such an opportunity to go out with her family. But today, she didn't know if they would talk about dinner. She could only smile and say, "Ruoxi, forget about it if you're busy. We'll have plenty of opportunities next time. I'm going out to meet an old friend today anyway. Forget about it. "
"I see …" Lin Ruoxi nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
The breakfast was a little dull. After Zhenxiu went to class and Lin Ruoxi rushed to work, Yang Cheng and Guo Xuehua heaved a sigh of relief.
Guo Xuehua sighed helplessly, "I really don't know why I agreed to do such a thing for you. Not to mention that I don't even know what to say when we meet today. If Ruoxi finds out that I helped you meet another woman, I will lose all my face."
Yang Cheng smiled embarrassedly. "Mom, your face isn't old. You're young and beautiful."
Guo Xuehua smiled. "When did you learn how to flatter me? It looks like you're really anxious. Aren't you going to do what I promised you?"
Yang Cheng was really uneasy. He only felt more at ease after hearing Guo Xuehua's confirmation.
After getting ready at home, Yang Cheng and Guo Xuehua went out one after another. Since Mother Wang was still at home, it wasn't appropriate for them to go out together.
On the other hand, Ma Guifang went to Auntie Xiang's restaurant to help out. After working for two hours, Mo Qianni drove them to the teahouse.
Along the way, Ma Guifang asked Mo Qianni about her in-law's hobbies, interests, and background. But how would Mo Qianni know about that? She used to meet Guo Xuehua as Lin Ruoxi's sister. She didn't dare to talk too much about it, so she didn't know anything.
Ma Guifang blamed Mo Qianni for not caring about Yang Cheng's parents, which made Mo Qianni feel wronged. How could she have the chance to care about them? In the past, when Guo Xuehua came home, she mostly chatted with Qiangwei. She didn't dare to talk too much, for fear of giving herself away.
Ma Guifang didn't have any expensive clothes on, but she still dressed more decently and neatly than usual. Even if she didn't have much money, she couldn't be too shabby. Mo Qianni was on a working day anyway, so her makeup was decent, so she didn't have to make any extra preparations.
When they arrived at Longjing Teahouse, Yang Cheng's car was already parked outside. Mo Qianni recognized it at a glance, and her heart was relieved. No matter what, Guo Xuehua really came.
The mother and daughter held hands and walked into the freshly decorated teahouse together. Because the teahouse was filled with small private rooms, they had to ask the waiter at the counter to know which private room Yang Cheng had booked.
Guo Xuehua chose this place carefully. She couldn't guarantee that this meeting would lead to some kind of intense conversation. If it was in public or in a place where voices could easily be heard, it would be a big loss of face. The teahouse was well sealed. If they spoke loudly, no one outside could hear them.
In the private room, Guo Xuehua carefully thought about what she should say when they met later. The fact that her son was married definitely couldn't be hidden for long, but if she said it directly, the other party would definitely find it hard to accept. Therefore, she had to think of a way to persuade the girl's mother to relax and let the children solve the problem themselves.
If Guo Xuehua was just a woman from an ordinary family, she definitely wouldn't agree to help Yang Cheng. However, as a member of a rich and powerful family, Guo Xuehua had seen many complicated relationships between men and women. "Polygamy" was not allowed by law, but it didn't mean that the men from these big families didn't dare to do it.
To put it bluntly, even Premier Hua Xia, Ning Guangyao, had an illegitimate daughter, which was her daughter-in-law, Lin Ruoxi. Could those other men be innocent?
Therefore, with a vision that transcended the law, Guo Xuehua dared to give it a try. In the end, she could use the status of the Yang Family to persuade the other party's elders.
As she sipped her tea and thought about what to say, Guo Xuehua suddenly remembered that she hadn't asked the girl's name. Why didn't her son take the initiative to mention it? He always avoided it. She quickly asked Yang Cheng, "Son, you should tell me the girl's name now. What should I call her when we meet later?"
Yang Cheng deliberately didn't say it. At this time, he could only confess. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, you should have met her before. Her name is Mo Qianni."
"Mo … Qianni?" Guo Xuehua frowned. Her mind suddenly exploded. She exclaimed, "What did you say?! It's Qianni?! "
Yang Cheng touched his nose and nodded.
Guo Xuehua suddenly understood a lot of things. In the end, she was annoyed and amused at the same time. She said, "You bad boy, even your mother was fooled by you. No wonder you didn't want to tell me your name. You've been hiding it from me!"
"How is this fooling? Isn't it the same now?" Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Anyway, we are going to meet later. Isn't it better that we know each other before?"
Guo Xuehua sighed helplessly. But then, a thought flashed through her mind. She shouted in her heart, "Oh no!" and stood up from her seat!
Yang Cheng looked at her and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you so suspicious?"
"Something's wrong!" Guo Xuehua frowned and muttered to herself, "If that girl is Qianni, that means that her mother is … then … then …"
No matter how smart Yang Cheng was, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what Guo Xuehua was worried about.
Guo Xuehua, on the other hand, wished that everything in front of her was a dream. She suddenly understood many things. The 'good son-in-law' that Ma Guifang mentioned the other day was none other than Yang Chen! Moreover, she had told them that Yang Cheng had married Lin Ruoxi!
Now, they didn't even need to talk when they met. She didn't even give them a chance to persuade them!
Just when Guo Xuehua was having a headache and didn't know what to do, the door of the private room was finally opened from the outside.
Ma Guifang and her daughter, who were holding hands intimately, smiled awkwardly as they walked into the private room. They came face to face with Guo Xuehua.
Guo Xuehua gritted her teeth and frowned. She looked at Ma Guifang anxiously and then at Mo Qianni speechlessly.
Mo Qianni felt that the atmosphere in the private room was not right. She looked at Yang Cheng, who had also stood up from his seat. However, Yang Cheng shrugged, indicating that he didn't know what was wrong with Guo Xuehua.
Ma Guifang was the one who changed the fastest. She was originally nervous, but now she was confused and surprised. She looked at Yang Cheng and then at Guo Xuehua. She smiled and asked, "Sister Xuehua, so your good son is Yang Cheng?"
