It was the first time that Wen Jue and Gu Yun's mother had met, so this meal was obviously of great significance.
He Xuan and Cheng Yingying tacitly agreed not to speak, and walked to the entrance of the entertainment park together, watching their car go further and further away.
"I haven't had time to ask you yet, what does your girlfriend do at home?"
Most of the habits of the older generation are like this. For example, when you go back to your hometown during the New Year and the holidays, when your aunts and uncles introduce your partner, they will definitely not introduce the issue you are most concerned about first.
For example, if the girl is good-looking or not, how many boyfriends she has dated, how tall and weight she is, first tell her what kind of job she does and what she does at home, as if this can correspond to you one by one.
Being a good match seems to have become a concept engraved in the blood of the older generation.
Putting Zhong Leyi aside for the moment, Hua Shiyuan, who was born in a family within the system, is actually not that big apart from Gu Yun.
But Wen Jue is different.
"Her father usually lives in Shanghai and is a big boss in the financial industry, and her mother also works in the financial industry."
Before Gu Yun could say anything further, the car drove to the hotel Wen Ju had booked in advance.
Jiangcheng has been a populous city since ancient times, and the food here is also popular among people across the country. It not only has down-to-earth street food, such as three fresh tofu skin, Zhou black duck, etc., but also has many high-end restaurants, which together form a
Jiangcheng’s unique food culture.
Dongting No. 1 Club on Dongting Road is the banquet place carefully selected by Wen Jue.
Compared with Hua Shiyuan, who is good at cooking and focuses on natural flow, she is not good at making her own food. In order to express her importance, she can only work hard on the environment and quality.
The decoration in this store is very trendy, from the walls, lighting, to tables, chairs and benches, everything is excellent.
The dining environment is very quiet and there are very few guests.
Because Dongting No. 1 has a rule, that is, you must make a reservation in advance before you can enter the venue for consumption.
The reason is very simple. As a restaurant with a per capita consumption of four figures, most of the dishes in Dongting No. 1 are quite time-consuming to prepare.
Only by reserving a seat in advance can the food be served according to the customer's time, so if you go to the restaurant and eat directly, you will definitely not be able to eat it.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Gu Yun and Huo Yan twisted around and were finally led into a Chinese-style private room.
"Hello, auntie, my name is Wen Jue, you can call me by my nickname Juezi."
A soft voice rang in her ears. Huo Yan's eyes were focused on the unique interior decoration just now. She turned her head and saw a young girl wearing a black dress with a slight smile.
.
...?
Huo Yan's face was slightly enlarged, and she had lived for more than forty years. She had never seen anyone so stunning just by their appearance.
How should I describe the girl in front of me?
She has been married for more than 20 years and once watched football matches with Gu Youwei at home. She saw someone once commenting on the "football emperor" Beckenbauer: Even when he was wearing short-sleeved shorts and was covered in mud on the football field.
When playing football, his elegant demeanor will make people feel like he is playing football in a suit and tie.
At first glance, Wen Jue is such an elegant person.
When Huo Yan came in, she stood up deliberately to show respect. Her long black dress slightly exposed her collarbone, which made her skin extra white and soft. Her neck was slender, proud and noble, like a swan.
Just as Zhuangzi said: "On the mountain of Miaogushe, there are gods and men living there. Their skin is like ice and snow, and they are as graceful as virgins. They do not eat grains, but inhale wind and drink dew. They ride on the clouds, ride on flying dragons, and swim across the four seas."
"Hello, hello, Orange, you are so beautiful."
But after subconsciously answering her greeting, Huo Yan took back his first impression of her.
"Hahahahaha, thank you for the compliment, auntie. I've already ordered the food, so just sit down."
After hearing Huo Yan's compliment, the girl in the black dress who had remained elegant just a second before her pursed her lips and smiled at her.
How did you come up with this charm that sinks all men?
Wen Jue sat on Gu Yun's right hand, her face was like fireworks blooming in the deep night sky, and her emotions overflowing with love were not concealed at all.
Huo Yan could suddenly understand why Gu Yun wanted to provoke other girls after having two girlfriends, Hua Shiyuan and Zhong Leyi.
If she were a man, I'm afraid she wouldn't have any immunity to girls like Wen Jue.
The meals are all prepared in advance, one after another, beautifully presented and full of high-end atmosphere.
"Auntie, the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall is the signature dish of this restaurant, please try it."
Wen Jue found that Huo Yan, as an elder, was a little reserved in this situation.
After all, this time was Huo Yan's real meeting with his son's girlfriend.
Zhong Leyi has seen since childhood that even if the two families are not in-laws, they are relatively close elders. There is no such atmosphere at all.
Hua Shiyuan cleverly took advantage of the terrain. When they met, it was her own big villa. The awkwardness of the first meeting was eliminated by hiding in the kitchen.
Throughout the whole process, Huo Yan didn't feel any discomfort at all, let alone the feeling that she was an outsider.
But this time, the hotel Wen Ju chose was indeed a bit too harsh in terms of environment.
There is no private club of this level in Liaocheng. Huo Yan is unfamiliar with the environment and people, which makes her a little at a loss.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Huo Yan observed for a while, and she could tell from the gestures and gestures of Wen Jue across from her that she was a rich girl who had lived without worries since she was a child. She really didn't know what to talk about with her.
For a while, other than eating and staring at Wen Jue's flawless cheeks, there was nothing to talk about.
"Well, it's indeed quite fresh."
Huo Yan took a sip of soup and broke the silence.
The soup base of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is very rich and is a good choice to drink directly or mixed with rice. The ingredients in it such as abalone, shark fin, sea cucumber, etc. are all very fresh.
The ginseng soup in the stone pot next to it is boiled to a golden color and is very nutritious at first glance. It is very popular among health-preserving customers.
Wen Jue naturally took Gu Yun's small bowl, filled him with a full bowl of thick soup, and handed it back.
"You should also make up for it more."
Huo Yan looked at Wen Jue's little movements and immediately realized that this girl who was as beautiful as a fairy must have been eaten up by her son.
Thinking of this, no matter how solemn the atmosphere was, she became much more friendly when she looked at Wen Jue, and she suddenly regained a bit of the feeling of being an elder.
"Orange, where did you dye your hair?"
"There is a specialized barber shop near Nanhu. Auntie likes this color? Let's go there together another day."
It is not difficult to find topics between women. Apart from Gu Yun's link, Wen Jue and Huo Yan quickly found the topic and successfully broke the ice.
Everyone is like a book, and different personalities create different communication methods.
Maybe Wen Jue will never be as good at getting along with middle-aged women in a short period of time as Hua Shiyuan, and naturally has the temperament of a good daughter-in-law who is virtuous at home, approachable and sensible.
But her charming face alone was enough for Huo Yan to take the initiative to start the conversation.
How beautiful will the baby born by this daughter-in-law be?
They exchanged each other's interests and hobbies and chatted about interesting things about Gu Yun's childhood. Although the two of them were not as natural as at home, they still had a lot of fun in the end.
"Okay, we've almost eaten."
After chatting until it got dark, Huo Yan took a sip of Dahongpao that she had refilled three or four times, stood up and said.
"Aunt...that..."
After chatting with Huo Yan all night, Wen Jue seemed to want to say something before leaving, but hesitated.
"Come on Orange, let's add WeChat. I see that you two have a very good relationship. He has also met your parents early in the morning. Auntie definitely supports you young people in dating."
"If he makes you angry in the future, call Auntie."
Huo Yan used similar words, rubbed Wen Jue's little head, and handed over the QR code of her mobile phone.
Seeing the smile in Wen Jue's eyes, Huo Yan suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart.
This is what it feels like to ride on a few boats.
Even after thinking about it, she couldn't help it. As a mother, she didn't want to cause trouble for her son, so what could she do?
...
"So, you bought her a house, right?"
On the way home, Huo Yan's attitude towards Gu Yun was lukewarm.
Huo Yan, who had always hated men's half-heartedness, turned out to be an accomplice in helping Gu Yun get a bowl of water flat. After calming down, she felt a little unhappy no matter how she thought about it.
Of the three girlfriends, any one of them would be a good choice to be a daughter-in-law, and there is no way to choose between them.
But it happened that his son was a greedy man, just like the woodcutter who threw his ax into the river. Faced with the problem of the river god, he had no intention of choosing one of them.
"Golden axe, silver axe, or iron axe, they all belong to me!"
Will this really have a happy ending?
It was obvious that the problem at this time was beyond Huo Yan's experience, so she simply didn't think about it and let nature take its course.
"Well, I bought it too, so I can't favor one over the other."
Gu Yun smiled and took Huo Yan's hand, answering her mother's doubts.
"Don't treat one favorably? I think her car is not cheap, right? Why don't you buy one for Yuanyuan and Leyi?"
During the dinner, Huo Yan also tested Wen Jue, and the latter didn't hide anything. He said what he had to say easily.
What do you do to make so much money?
Apart from spending money for yourself, the greatest happiness is probably buying things for your beloved girls, making them look beautiful and realizing all your bad tastes and human ideals.
Especially for a rare beauty like Wen Ju, who was born with a face that made it uncomfortable for men not to spend money on her, Gu Yun almost completely covered her daily expenses while buying a house and a car.
After all, in addition to his girlfriend, Wen Jue is also a company executive and enjoys the high dividends from Coffee Justice.
She deserves to live a top-notch life.
"Le Yi has a car, but you didn't see it. As for Yuanyuan...she can be considered a small leader. It's already the end of her life to drive an Audi Q5. If she gets a better grade, she will be gossiped behind her back.
Yes, Mom, you know more about this than me, right?"
While walking and chatting with his mother, when he returned home, Gu Yun spread his hands to show that he would not take the blame for this matter.
"Little leader?"
Huo Yan asked casually. At Hua Shiyuan's house, she and the girl almost talked about common topics, and they hardly talked about her work and life.
"Yes, she is the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of the High-tech Zone, a newly promoted deputy section-level cadre this year."
Gu Yun nodded and added.
"...Huh? Isn't she only twenty-three years old and just graduated a year ago? Or am I remembering it wrong?"
Huo Yan thought there was something wrong with her memory.
"No, she is a front-line promotion for outstanding work at the grassroots level. In fact, she has just graduated."
"You're not too helpful, are you?"
Huo Yan rolled her eyes at Gu Yun. She was also a veteran of the world. It would be impossible for grassroots cadres to achieve something without the support of some capable people.
"Serve the people."
Gu Yun smiled and raised his neck, Gudong Gudong drank a glass of water.
The soup at night was too salty.
"You are quite capable. You have three girlfriends, one is a rising political star, one is a legal beauty, and one is a domineering CEO... I don't even know what to say about you."
After being in Jiangcheng for so many days, Huo Yan has kept pace with the times and learned a lot of new words.
"Mom, as your future mother-in-law, tell me, which one do you like best?"
Gu Yun asked shamelessly.
"how to say......"
This is a difficult question. Huo Yan folded her arms and thought for a long time before replying, "Le Yi must be the one who knows you best. Yuanyuan is good to you and takes care of others. Orange can help you take care of your business. If I choose...
..."
"Whoever gives you a baby first will definitely be the one I love the most."
......???
Gu Yun's eyes widened. Is this what his mother said?
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! But then he thought about it. From a mother's perspective, there was nothing wrong with this answer at all, and it was even the best solution to stabilize the current situation.
He is completely different from ordinary people. He is not short of money and naturally does not lack the ability to take care of children.
In the eyes of a mother, if she really has a baby, then this multiple-choice question will become a fill-in-the-blank question.
And if Huo Yan can say this, she has her own reasons.
Obviously, the three girlfriends are not the kind of girls who just play around, and they have all broken through the last level of relationship with Gu Yun.
The way to break the situation may lie in this conclusion.
"Mom, you have changed. You were not like this before."
Gu Yun sighed, gave a thumbs up, and gave a thumbs up to his witty mother.
"You're not a human being yourself?"
Huo Yan was about to fight, but Gu Yun stuck out his tongue with a smile and slipped back to his room.
Lying on the bed in the master bedroom, Huo Yan turned on her phone and started browsing the Moments of today's new friends.
Among middle-aged women, she is definitely at the forefront of trends as she can use the latest mobile phones every time.
After flipping through the pages, her WeChat interface suddenly lit up, and a new message was sent.
[Auntie, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, would you like to go for a beauty treatment? I know a shop that is very good, and the hydrating effect is first-rate.]
The person who sent the message was Wen Jue. The two had discussed the topic of skin care in depth at the dinner table. After all, it is a woman's nature to love beauty, and Huo Yan was no exception.
No, a woman with executive power has taken action.
But before Huo Yan could think of how to reply, another WeChat message jumped to the first line of the interface at the right time.
[Auntie, I made some black-bone chicken soup for you. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, can I send it to you?]
