Lan Weiwei finished a tiring day's work and received a call from her mother, Lan Caiping, just after get off work, asking her to go home at night.
The Lan family is centered around Lan Caiping. From the fact that Lan Weiwei does not take her father's and mother's surnames, it can be seen that her mother is the well-deserved head of the family, and Lan Weiwei does not dare to reject her mother.
After returning home, Lan Caiping brought a bowl of supplements.
"Weiwei, drink this bowl of bird's nest quickly, I've been working on it for more than ten hours." Lan Caiping said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mom." Lan Weiwei took the bird's nest and drank it in small sips.
"This bird's nest was given by your boyfriend solemnly last time. The quality is really good." Lan Caiping said with a smile.
Lan Weiwei said oh and stopped talking.
"You and Zhuang Yan have been dating for so many years, when are you going to get married?"
Lan Weiwei has already guessed that her mother must be urging her to get married by telling her to go home.
"We are sensible and will prepare for the wedding in a while."
Lan Caiping sat next to her daughter and said, "Let me tell you, I went to see your Aunt Xue today and praised her solemnity in front of her, which made her angry! Her face turned green.
She and I have been competing for the leading role in the group, and we have never won the battle all our lives. Now it’s up to you to make my mother look good."
Lan Weiwei frowned and said, "Mom, you and Aunt Xue have been friends for decades, why are you doing this?"
"Hmph, I just can't stand her praising Star Tao in front of me all day long, making it seem like her daughter Star Tao is the best in the world."
Lan Weiwei lowered his head to drink the bird's nest and stopped talking.
"You must get married before Yang Tao gets married, and you must make it very grand so that I can feel proud in front of your Aunt Xue." Lan Caiping said longingly.
"Mom." Lan Weiwei put down the bowl and said: "Why do you have to compare me with Yang Tao, from childhood to adulthood, to compare looks, to study, to talent, to grow up, to school, to boyfriend, to future husband, to children
?Is this interesting?"
"What do you know? This is what I will do all my life. I will marry your father, a poor regiment leader, and spend my whole life engaged in literary and artistic work. I will have no status and no money.
Mom just hopes that you can get ahead, marry a good husband, and have a lovely baby in the future.
I’m not trying to compete with anyone, I just hope you can live a better life than mom.”
Lan Weiwei sighed and said, "Mom, don't say that. I think my dad is pretty good. He loves you so much and will be unwavering throughout his life. He doesn't even mind if my last name is yours, so what else is there to choose?"
"Of course I know how good your dad is. It's not like we've been together for decades and you've gotten used to it." Lan Caiping said:
"What I mean is for you to find someone better than your father."
Lan Weiwei nodded and treated his mother perfunctorily.
"I think Zhuang Yan is a nice guy. He is about 1.8 meters tall, fair and fair, and he is the CEO of a listed company. You have to catch this kind of man." Lan Caiping warned:
"When you have time, ask Zhuang Yan to come to your house for dinner. Mom will urge him secretly."
"Mom, please don't worry about our affairs. I know what's going on." Lan Weiwei said disgustedly.
"If you knew better, how could you not be married now?" Lan Caiping rolled her eyes and said, "You! You are just too honest. You can't be too submissive to a man like Zhuang Yan. Sometimes you have to play a little bit, otherwise he will think that you are eating.
It’s decided for you.”
Lan Weiwei felt a little aggrieved when he thought about what happened during the day, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Daughter, why are you crying? Is Zhuang Yan bullying you?" Lan Caiping became very nervous when he saw his daughter's eyes turned red.
"Mom, I'm fine, something got into my eye." Lan Weiwei didn't want her mother to worry, so she chose to hide her resignation.
"I'll get you some eye drops." Lan Caiping quickly went to get the medicine box.
"No need, I'm fine." Lan Weiwei grabbed her mother.
"Really." Lan Caiping sat down again.
"It's okay, drink the bird's nest quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Lan Weiwei picked up the bowl again.
"Do you know who Yang Tao is dating recently?" Lan Caiping asked casually.
"I didn't hear what she said." Lan Weiwei said perfunctorily.
"I heard from your Aunt Xue that Yang Tao was on a blind date recently and met a lot of good boys." Lan Caiping snorted coldly:
"But let me tell you, the star fruit must not be in harmony, otherwise Xue Sumei wouldn't be able to show off."
Lan Weiwei said absently: "I'm busy with work recently and don't have time to see Tao Zi. We originally made an appointment to have dinner together on the weekend."
Since stealing Yang Tao's boyfriend, Lan Weiwei has deliberately avoided Yang Tao and reduced the number of times they meet.
The weekend date was also initiated by their mutual friend Jiao Yang, and she couldn't refuse.
"Ask Taozi when you see her. If she doesn't have anyone you like, I will introduce one to her," Lan Caiping said.
Lan Weiwei said speechlessly: "Mom, do you want Yang Tao to get married, or not?"
"Of course I want her to get married. Yang Tao is the child I watched grow up. Do I want her to be an old girl?" Lan Caiping said matter-of-factly:
"I just want you to be able to give Star Fruit a head start when it comes to getting married."
Lan Weiwei really couldn't understand his mother's thoughts, so he drank the bird's nest in one gulp and said, "Mom, I'm tired. Let's go back to the room to rest."
"It's rare for you to come back, so you can talk to me more." Lan Caiping complained.
"I've been working all day and I'm really tired. Let's talk tomorrow! I'll be back for dinner tomorrow night," Lan Weiwei said.
Lan Caiping perked up and said, "Whatever you want to eat tomorrow, mom will let your dad do it."
"Just do whatever you want, don't take too much trouble." Lan Weiwei said.
"Is Zhuang Yan coming too? Do you want to prepare two more dishes?"
"Let's talk about it then!" Lan Weiwei stretched and walked towards his room.
"Whether Zhuang Yan comes or not, you will give me a reply tomorrow." Lan Caiping said enthusiastically.
"Okay." Lan Weiwei said perfunctorily, then walked into the room and closed the door directly.
On the other side, after Yang Tao and Wang Gang talked, they agreed to try to get along for three months, which was considered a probation period.
During the trial period, if you find that you are not suitable for each other, you can break up at any time.
After the trial period is over, if Yang Tao is satisfied, Wang Gang will be officially promoted to a full-time employee and meet his parents to confirm the relationship.
Yang Tao also laid down a lot of rules during the probation period, such as only holding hands during the probation period, not staying overnight, etc., to protect her rights.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Regarding those conditions, Wang Gang had no objections. There was only one that he proposed to modify, and that was the intimacy clause.
He said that if both parties are willing, intimate behavior can be handled appropriately.
In the end, Yang Tao did not insist, but emphasized the mutual will of both parties.
After the matter was discussed, Yang Tao completely relaxed, as if a big stone had been lifted in his heart, and he felt less restrained about eating.
Wang Gang also found that Yang Tao had the straightforward side of a Beijing girl, which he liked very much.
The two of them chatted aimlessly while cooking the mutton. The meal lasted for almost two hours, and there seemed to be endless topics to talk about.
"Would you like to go watch a movie after eating?"
“What good movies are coming out now?”
"I don't know. Let's go over and choose one to look at."
Wang Gang said: "Don't worry, I won't choose a horror movie."
Yang Tao said nonchalantly: "None of the domestic horror films that can be released are good."
Wang Gang smiled evilly and said, "Then you can come to my house someday and watch foreign horror movies together."
Yang Tao rolled his eyes and said, "If I don't know your men's little thoughts, I won't go to your house."
"How can I have any bad intentions? Haven't we already made an agreement for three chapters?" Wang Gang said with a smile.
"Ours is a gentleman's agreement. If you are not a gentleman, I will go to your house instead of sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth." Yang Tao said proudly: "I'm not that stupid."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "If you are afraid, you can ask some friends to accompany you!"
Yang Tao was stunned for a moment, maybe he didn't expect Wang Gang to say that.
"Do you want to see my friend?" Yang Tao asked.
"Do you want me to meet your friend?" Wang Gang asked.
Yang Tao's eyes flickered and he said harshly: "Is there anything I don't dare to do?"
Wang Gang nodded and said: "Then it's settled. If you have time on weekends, you can bring your friends to my house, and I'll cook for you."
"You can also cook?" Yang Tao asked in surprise.
"I live alone and don't know how to cook. Do I eat takeout every day?" Wang just smiled.
"Then I want to try your craft."
Yang Tao felt that he must go to Wang Gang's house, but he didn't know if Lan Weiwei and Jiao Yang had time, so he called back to ask.
Wang Gang called the waiter, bought the order, and then drove Star Tao to the cinema.
The two of them randomly found a romantic drama to watch. Wang Gang didn't specifically choose a horror movie, which made Yang Tao feel relieved.
It's just that the romance film Wang Gang chose was a bitter romance film, and the love between the hero and heroine was a little too miserable. Yang Tao burst into tears at the end.
Wang Gang handed his handkerchief to Yang Tao and wiped her tears.
After leaving the cinema, Yang Tao asked Wang Gang: "The movie you picked is too miserable. The male and female protagonists are not together until they die."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "The movies are all fake. If I were the male protagonist and saw the female protagonist for the first time, I wouldn't be able to let her go!"
Yang Tao heard the implication of Wang Gang's words and couldn't help but look at him twice.
