Chapter 10: She Called Xu Xuezhan Ao Ze Received an Unexpected Call
As Mrs. Lan spoke, she opened the drawer and found a large envelope. She spread the photos inside on Lan Pingdi's bed. There were twenty or thirty photos.
"I know you don't like foreign girls, but my mother chose us Chinese girls. Take a good look, you will definitely like some of them. Some of them are the daughters of your father's family friends in E-market, and you know them all.
She is noble and charming, and I think she will be a good wife for our Zhan family."
"I won't break up with her." He glanced at the fat and thin women in the photo impatiently, and Lan Pingdi stuffed the photo back into the envelope and threw it aside.
"Lan Ping Di!" Mrs. Lan's voice was louder. Lan Jingtian gestured for the door, and then she lowered her voice again, as if she hated iron and steel: "What are you thinking in your head? How could you like it?
A girl from an ordinary family? Those girls only marry into rich families for the money of the Lan family."
"Mom, don't think that the daughters of common people are so greedy for money. Yun Duo is not like that, and neither is the girl I like." Lan Pingdi couldn't help but push back.
At least the two girls who had closer contact with him were really not like what their mother said.
Yun Duo didn't marry Zhan Aoze for money, but Xu Xue, although she was greedy for money, did it for a reason.
"That won't work. You grew up in different environments and received different levels of education. Your thoughts, living habits, and values will be different in the future. How do you want me to get along with her? It's because your parents have long been gone and there is no relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
There are problems with communication. But what about your dad and I? I won't try to get used to her, and it may not be easy for her to get used to me." Mrs. Lan took the trouble to change his mind.
Mom has always had a strong concept of being a disciple. Lan Pingdi knew this and curled her lips helplessly: "Mom, she is marrying me, not you, so you don't have to think about getting along with her. We don't have to live together.
"
"We don't want to live together, but we have to meet..." Mrs. Lan frowned even more tightly, sat on the sofa and crossed her legs, folding her arms.
Lan Pingdi quickly blinked at his father, feeling helpless: Mom must have gone through menopause, and she is too angry now.
"Okay, take a step back. Wife, you've never seen that girl named... By the way, Di, what's that girl's name?" Lan Jingtian then realized that Lan Ping Di didn't seem to even reveal the girl's name.
come out.
"Her name is... her name is..." Lan Pingdi couldn't help but complained repeatedly, why did her father suddenly ask about this?
"Di, are you lying to us?" Mrs. Lan's frown eased, and she looked at her somewhat dodgy son carefully.
"Why did I lie to you? Her name is Xu Xue." He almost blurted it out. His mind was a little blank. The only thing he could think of was this name. Forget it, let's borrow it for a while.
"Honey, I don't think it's better than this. Before Christmas, Di will definitely not be able to spare time to do blind dates. We simply wait until after Christmas and let him bring Xu Xue to France, or we go back to e-market to have a look.
Get to know that girl, it’s obviously inappropriate for you to end this relationship with a hammer. Maybe, Xu Xue is a very likeable girl, right?"
"Yes, Mom, if you don't investigate, you have no right to speak. Maybe, you will like her." He was just buying time for himself. He could delay it for a while. If it doesn't work, find someone who is obedient and doesn't covet Mrs. Lan's reputation.
The girl comes back, gets married by contract, and then gets divorced...
Of course, he didn't believe that he would be so lucky as Zhan Aoze and meet the woman who would be with him for the rest of his life.
"What about Wang Wei? After finding the key, I asked her to continue living there. I didn't want her to have more contact with Ping Didi." Mrs. Lan couldn't say anything to refute, but she still refused to give in.
Christmas was not too far away, and her son really did not have time to go on a blind date with the wealthy ladies she had chosen. However, in her heart, she still had a strong feeling of resistance to Xu Xue, whom she had never met.
"This is easy to handle. There will be a costume contest in the United States soon, which is related to the Wang family's family business. She will participate." Lan Pingdi looked at the calendar on the table easily.
"Okay, I'll just listen to you two, so as not to make me seem inhumane."
Or, she could meet her first and find out her shortcomings, and then let Di give up the idea completely. Thinking of this, Mrs. Lan nodded helplessly.

"Xu Xue?!" Holding the phone in her hand, Mrs. Lan murmured in a low voice, her fingers hesitating whether to pick up the phone or not.
Both Lan Jingtian and Lan Pingdi went to work. Wang Wei was recalled to the United States by Mr. Wang three days later, just as Lan Pingdi said.
She has been observing Lan Pingdi's movements these past few days. She has not seen him calling a woman named Xu Xue. She has secretly checked his mobile phone and has not seen any photos of girls. Of course, because she is busy with work
, I didn’t see him going to nightclubs to pick up girls.
Is the prodigal son really going to turn around? Or is Xu Xue simply a character made up by his son?
After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and finally dialed Zhan Aoze's mobile phone number.
Zhan's President's Office.
"Here I go, pour it so full, be careful to burn it." When watching Yun Duo come over with hot tea, Zhan Aoze quickly walked over to her from behind the desk and brought it himself.
"How can you be so squeamish? You just make a fuss. Didn't you say that everyone was busy and asked me to come to the office to help?" Yun Duo snorted, his eyebrows full of happiness.
She had been back from Lijiang for a few days. She was bored at home, so she proposed to stay at her parents' house for a few days. Today was only the third day, and Zhan was picked up early in the morning.
"That was my excuse. Otherwise, why would I have picked you up? I can't tell my parents directly that I miss Duoduo and want to take you back. That way, they will laugh at me." He put his arms around Yunduo's shoulders and Zhan Ao
Ze had a "treacherous" smile on his face: "Mrs. Zhan, one day is like three autumns after not seeing each other. How long has it been since we last met?"
"Treacherous!" Yunduo bit it helplessly and rolled his eyes at the tea in his cup.
"I am a beloved wife. I love my son very much. Duoduo, I will get off work soon. Where do you want to eat? Wait... I will answer the phone first." Looking at the time displayed on the phone screen, he frowned slightly.
He stood up and whispered: "Di's home phone number. It's past nine o'clock in Paris now. Di should be at work. This home phone number..."
He was even more surprised when he heard the voice on the phone: "Auntie, why did you call me suddenly?"
"Ze, I'm calling you because I want to ask about Pingdi's situation in e-market..." Mrs. Lan got straight to the point.
