Every time she heard Liang Feifan's deep voice over the phone, she felt like she was in a dream. It was so sexy that it almost felt surreal.
"Is your mother here yet?"
"Not yet." Bai Lu stomped her feet. She had been standing at the hotel entrance for quite some time, and she was actually feeling a little tired. "Didn't you say she would be here at this time?"
"Don't worry." Liang Feifan comforted her gently. "Maybe she's stuck in a traffic jam. I'll give Guan Chao a call. Don't keep waiting at the hotel entrance. Go inside. I've already contacted the people here. My grandfather and the others will be here in about half an hour. Don't worry."
Bai Lu replied with an "Oh." She was actually more nervous this time compared to the last time they parted on bad terms.
"Then when will you be here?"
"I just finished a meeting." Liang Feifan raised his wrist and pressed the space between his eyebrows. "I'll be right there."
Bai Lu heaved a sigh of relief. Before hanging up, she said softly, "Come over quickly."
This was not the first time Liang Feifan felt so deeply relied on by a woman. If it had been in the past, he might have found it troublesome and annoying, but now, he felt satisfied and proud.
"Did you miss me?" He walked out of the elevator, took out his car keys, pressed the button, and quickly got into the car. He didn't forget to hang up the call button. Tilting his neck slightly, he held the phone between his shoulder and his cheek. As he started the car, he chuckled softly, trying to distract her somewhat nervous attention. "Don't worry, I'll be there soon. After they meet tonight, we'll settle your mother down, and then I'll take you somewhere else."
"Where is it?"
"You'll know when the time comes." As Liang Feifan turned the steering wheel, he noticed a few books by the side. He suddenly remembered and said, "Jingxiao's wedding is on Wednesday. The design competition is on Friday. Have you seen the things I asked Guan Chao to give you? "
"Yes." Bai Lu had a headache when he thought of the design competition. "I've been so dizzy these past few days. I'm afraid that I'll …"
"Don't think too much about it. Actually, the theme of this design competition isn't very difficult. You can just do whatever you want. I don't think this is a big deal for you. Just do whatever you want to do. Don't worry, the pressure is all self-inflicted, so you have to remember to relax. Since I asked you to participate, it's not to let you win an award, but to let you slowly adapt to this circle. In the future, don't think of yourself as an employee, think of yourself as an architect, understand? "
Bai Lu was more experienced in this aspect than she was. She was happy to listen to his advice. In fact, ever since she met Liang Feifan in EC, he had slowly integrated into her life and changed it.
"I know. Thank you."
"If you want to thank me, I don't need to hear it from you. It's best if you can do something for me." Liang Feifan seized the opportunity and didn't want to forget to ask for his own benefits. "Do you know that there's a saying that people who haven't eaten sweet food before might be able to resist the temptation that sweet food brings to them? But when you've really eaten this kind of sweet food, it's the most torturous. When the sweet food is in front of you, you can only look at it but can't eat it. Tell me, isn't it very painful? "
How dare he compare his desire to some kind of dessert!
Even through the phone, Bai Lu could imagine him hugging her with a pair of green eyes shining with a wicked light.
She blushed and hurriedly covered her face with her hand. Her complaint sounded more like a spoiled child than a grumble.
"Liang Feifan, why are you always thinking about … that kind of thing? Can't you be more serious?"
"How am I not serious?" The man's tone was very innocent through the phone. "Did I say anything? I'm just saying that I ate a kind of sweet before and it tasted very good. I haven't eaten it for a few days and I miss it very much. Since you want to thank me, shouldn't you cater to my taste? Buy me a candy to eat? "
"You … I'm not talking to you anymore." Bai Lu's skin wasn't as thick as his, so she couldn't win an argument with him. Just as she was about to hang up, she saw Guan Chao's car driving in her direction. She quickly said, "I saw Guan Chao's car. My mom is here. Hurry up and come over. I'm hanging up."
When Chin Jin-hee got out of the car, Bai Lu was already standing by the car door with a smile.
"Mom." Bai Lu held her mother's hand and looked her up and down. She couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. "You're so beautiful today, Mom. I told you that as long as you dress up, you can beat half of the women on earth."
In fact, Bai Lu wasn't exaggerating. Chin Jin-hee was originally elegant and noble. In addition, she had been in the nursing profession for a long time. Although she had a cold personality, she was very kind at heart. Therefore, Bai Lu used to think that her mother really had an angel's halo above her head and a pair of angel's white wings on her back. Even if she wore a normal nurse's uniform, she would give people a sense of tranquility.
Today, she wore a sapphire blue jacket and a pair of very low-profile black pants. Because of her fair skin, although she was middle-aged, she looked clean and comfortable without makeup.
"It's useless to just flatter me." Chin Jin-hee smiled faintly at her daughter. Her eyes were full of affection. "You know who you're meeting today. Although I don't want you to bow and scrape to anyone, we still have to do what needs to be done. Since those people are extraordinary elders, no matter what they do, we have to bear with them as much as we can. "
Bai Lu knew that her mother didn't know that she had already met Family Liang once. She didn't intend to say anything. She smiled weakly. "Mom, are you still worried that they'll find fault with me?"
"I'm not worried that they'll find fault with you. Originally, I was worried that Liang Feifan wasn't suitable for you." Chin Jin-hee reached out to straighten her daughter's collar. She said softly, "But the feeling he gives me is different from what I thought. He's very considerate of you. That's enough. He told me that today's meeting was just a formality. He'll take care of everything else. So, as long as his elders' opinions of you are passable, we can cooperate. Lulu, Mom wants you to be happy. So, for the sake of happiness, Mom is willing to make appropriate concessions. "
"Mom … You're so nice." Bai Lu's nose twitched. She reached out and hugged her mother's waist. She buried her face in her mother's chest and rubbed her face. "With you around, they definitely won't find fault with me. It's all because my mom is so perfect!"
"You're getting sweeter and sweeter."
As the mother and daughter chatted, a black high-end business car slowly drove up from not too far away. The car stopped at their feet.
Chin Jin-hee pulled Bai Lu to the side. The car door was quickly opened. The first person to step out was indeed Liang Wu-ming.
He was holding a walking stick in one hand and wearing a very low-key Chinese tunic suit. Bai Lu recalled that he had been kind to her the last time they met. So, when she saw the old man for the first time this time, she felt less nervous. The moment their eyes met, she realized that there was a clear sense of alienation in his eyes. Clearly, the feeling he gave her was completely different from the last time they met.
Bai Lu's heart tightened. Before she could figure out what was going on, Liang Jiannan came out behind them.
Last time, she and Liang Jiannan had parted on bad terms. Seeing him now, she felt a little unnatural.
"This must be Miss Bai's mother." After all, Liang Wu-ming was a person of status. He wouldn't put on airs in front of others. Standing in front of Chin Jin-hee, he smiled gently. "Hello, I'm Liang Feifan's grandfather. This is his father."
He pointed at Liang Jiannan, who was standing to the side. Then he shifted his gaze behind him. He was probably looking for Li Tanglin.
"Hello." Chin Jin-hee nodded reservedly. She smiled gracefully, neither servile nor overbearing. "I'm very happy to meet you. My name is Chin Jin-hee."
Li Tanglin had just gotten out of the car with one foot on the ground when she suddenly heard the words "Chin Jin-hee". She froze.
She jerked her head up. A trace of astonishment flashed across her eyes.
Chin Jin-hee?
Chin Jin-hee … She was actually called Chin Jin-hee …
Yes, Bai Lu … Her surname was also Bai. After so many years, there had been a woman with the surname Bai by her side. Why hadn't she thought of this before?
…
"This is Ah Fan's mother." When Liang Wu-ming saw Li Tanglin getting out of the car, he pointed at his daughter-in-law and introduced her. "Li Tanglin."
Chin Jin-hee's gaze swept past Li Tanglin, who was standing beside the car. She maintained a polite smile. "Hello, Mrs. Liang."
Chin Jin-hee was a nurse. She had been dealing with difficult patients for a long time. Naturally, she was more observant.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Li Tanglin's expression froze the moment she called out the words "Mrs. Liang".
It was as if someone had stepped on his tail in an instant. Although that forced expression flashed across his face, Qin Zhenxi saw it all.
She was surprised, but she didn't think too much about it.
Originally, the Bai family only had Chin Jin-hee. After Liang Wu-ming gave a brief introduction, the two families entered the restaurant.
The private room had already been reserved. The hotel manager personally came out to greet them. When Liang Feifan arrived, the two families had just taken their seats.
"Grandpa, Father, Mother."
Liang Feifan took off her gloves and jacket. As she walked in, her gaze was fixed on Bai Lu's face. That reassuring gaze made Bai Lu, who had been feeling uneasy since she came in, secretly heave a sigh of relief.
"Hello, Auntie." In front of the Liang family, Liang Feifan had already changed the way he addressed her. "Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way, so I'm late."
Chin Jin-hee just smiled and nodded.
Liang Feifan sat beside Bai Lu. The waiter quickly came up and asked respectfully, "Young Master Liang, did you serve the dishes according to your instructions?"
He nodded. The waiter personally came up to pour water for them. Liang Feifan suddenly waved his hand, indicating that the waiter could leave first. He personally went up and poured water for the elders.
