277 The mother-in-law will not poison him when he turns back
"Come on, Xiao Cao, what kind of tea do you want to drink? I'll pour it for you."
Zeng's mother greeted Cao Xuan warmly and asked him to sit down as soon as he walked in. She also greeted him with tea and fruits. How could Cao Xuan let his mother-in-law pour him tea and hurriedly got up.
"Auntie, there's no need to do the work, I'll do it myself."
"Okay, Auntie, I won't be polite to you. The tea seems to be in the cupboard. You pour it yourself and I'll cut some fruit for you."
"That's very welcome."
Cao Xuan said a few words but did not stop the happy Zeng Li, so he could only go to get a cup and tea leaves to brew. Zeng's mother, who was holding the fruit, looked at him with a smile.
"I see you are quite skillful. You can find tea leaves in no time. You come here often."
"Ahem..."
Cao Xuan almost choked to death at these words. He underestimated the mother-in-law.
Not only was his movement skills strange and unpredictable, he was even able to prevent him from being tested by the paparazzi. He was also smart and used various tricks to set traps for him to test the situation.
"Well, I've brought pears home a few times."
Cao Xuan was caught in front of his mother-in-law just now, and now the cliché was exposed again. Cao Xuan was confused for a moment. He didn't know how to respond, so he could only answer cautiously and leave a certain margin.
The two of them were fighting each other here. Zeng Lishi watched and took the initiative to save the siege.
"Mom, why are you keeping him? He has work at night, so let him go first."
"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. This is the first time Auntie has met him, so she has to leave him at home to have a meal. Don't you think so, Xiao Cao?"
Zeng's mother didn't answer her daughter's words at all, and her attack went straight to Cao Xuan. No matter how much Cao Xuan usually did, he was still beaten to death at this time.
"Yes, it's time to have a meal. I should have arranged for auntie to come to the capital. It's mainly because she was busy with work. Don't be offended, auntie."
"This kid said it, can Auntie blame you?"
My great-mother smiled brightly: "Whatever you want to eat, auntie will cook it for you. Try her cooking. If you like it, you can come here often in the future."
"Auntie can do whatever she wants. I'm not picky about food."
Zeng's mother was very satisfied with Cao Xuan's well-behaved and sensible attitude: "Then auntie picks what she is good at."
"No problem, let me help you get started."
"No, no, I just prepared some. Just talk to Lizi and I'll do it myself. I'll be fine soon."
Zeng's mother stopped Cao Xuan and went to the kitchen. Zeng Li could no longer hold back the nervousness and panic of his boyfriend and his mother's unexpected encounter: "What should I do? How about you run away."
"Why are you running? What will your mother think of me if I run away?"
Cao Xuan patted Zeng Li's hand: "Don't panic, I'll take care of everything. You go to the kitchen to help, and ask around to hear your mother's impression of me. I'll make a call to arrange something..."
Zeng Li nodded and sneaked into the kitchen to help. Cao Xuan took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Zhang Chong, you are in urgent need. Go to the mall right away to do some shopping for me. Pick out things that middle-aged women in their fifties like. She is not my mother, but my mother-in-law. If you buy the right thing, I will give you a credit."
………
In the kitchen, Zeng's mother was cooking. When she saw Zeng Li coming in, her eyebrows rose: "What are you doing here? Let Xiao Cao sit alone in the living room?"
"He asked me to come here because there are no elders to work and the younger generation will be idle."
Zeng Lifu reached his heart and pretended to preach the imperial edict. After hearing this, Zeng's mother took a shovel to the kitchen door and saw that Cao Xuan was mopping the floor with a mop.
"Xiao Cao, what are you mopping? Sit down and take a rest."
"It's okay, it's okay to be idle."
Cao Xuan smiled innocently, and his mother nodded, turned back to the kitchen and said to her daughter, "This child is quite discerning."
Zeng Li wasn't sure whether this was a compliment or a derogation, so he asked tentatively: "Mom, what do you think of him?"
"Smart, well-spoken, looks quite mature, has a good career, and is considered a leader among his peers,"
Zeng Li's face lit up, this was a very high evaluation, but Zeng's mother immediately added another sentence.
"However, this kind of man has big ideas and you can't control your quail personality. I'm a little worried that you will suffer a loss."
Zeng Li was really confused this time. He really didn't understand Zeng's mother's true attitude.
Say you don't like Cao Xuan, the bright smile on his face doesn't look fake, and she caught the two of them making out. Her mother-in-law is kind-hearted. If she really doesn't like him, she won't fall out, but she won't either.
He has such a good face.
But if you like it, Zeng's mother's opinion of Cao Xuan is not particularly high, at least not in Zeng Li's opinion.
Looking at her confused daughter, the great-grandmother sighed and said with a bit of regret: "That's good, that's good. I really like him and wish he could be my son-in-law, but can our family keep this son-in-law?"
Zeng's mother still knew about Cao Xuan, especially after listening to her daughter's phone call before and specifically looking for someone to get a further detailed understanding.
Apart from anything else, what impressed my great mother the most was Cao Xuan's career and philanthropy.
Although Zeng’s mother didn’t understand the concept of Asia’s King, she knew that Cao Xuan was very rich, very rich.
According to an estimate from an entertainment newspaper in December last year, Cao Xuan's various income and company operating income in 2001 totaled nearly 100 million yuan. This is only a conservative estimate.
As a small leader in her work unit, Zeng’s mother earns a monthly salary of more than 2,000 to early 3,000, which is barely considered middle class in her hometown.
One million yuan is an unimaginable amount of money for her, let alone one hundred million yuan.
It's just one year's income, and the newspapers didn't dare to calculate the total assets. They just said that it would be doubled several times.
After Zeng Li's father divorced, he went abroad to work and became a successful businessman. It is said that his total assets were several million US dollars. Zeng's mother always thought that her ex-husband was rich enough, but compared with this "son-in-law", he was not even a little bit behind.
.
For such a young and rich billionaire, my great-mother, who has been in society for a long time, knows how popular he is, and the little girls are afraid that they will pounce on him in groups.
My great-grandmother was confident that her daughter was very beautiful, but in the final analysis she was just a well-known actor and a future teacher, and she was not from the right family. She doubted that their relationship would last long.
What's even more deadly is Cao Xuan's scumbag character.
This persona helped him confuse the public and the public, and also brought him great exposure. It made it easier for him to have two different sides, and also reduced the risk of overturning. It can be said that there are many benefits.
But now comes the disadvantage. At least once True Lover's parents see so many scandals about him, it will be difficult for their impression of him to be based on evaluations such as professionalism, integrity, and duty.
Although Zeng Li helped explain for a long time, saying that it was all hype, and even provided some evidence to indicate that Cao Xuan would report every situation, Zeng's mother could not help but murmur in her heart.
So now the threshold in Zeng's mother's heart is not that Cao Xuan is not good, but that Cao Xuan is too good and Zeng's mother feels that her daughter can't handle him.
You should persuade your daughter to break up as soon as possible. She is somewhat reluctant to let go of this good son-in-law. After all, such a good boy is really rare. It would be really hard to miss him.
But let's not break up, because she is afraid that her daughter will fall into too deep a trap and be harmed in the future if Cao Xuan scums her.
Therefore, Zeng's mother has been in a state of hesitation and entanglement. Facing Cao Xuan, she has the mother-in-law's love for her son-in-law, but she also has some scrutiny and testing to see if he is sincere to her daughter.
Zeng's mother revealed her thoughts to Zeng Li. Her original intention was to bring her daughter together to investigate the new son-in-law.
But Zeng's mother overlooked one point. This trick works well against outsiders. Mother and daughter must work together, but when facing the person her daughter is dating, her daughter is likely to turn her elbows outward.
Especially if Zeng Li is obsessed with Cao Xuan and expects her to help deal with Cao Xuan, he will sell you out first.
Sure enough, Zeng's mother was making plans. Zeng Li used the excuse to go to the bathroom, went out and exposed her mother's thoughts to Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan immediately felt confident.
As long as the pulse can be detected accurately, then the right medicine can be prescribed. Mother-in-law is not worried, so she should be reassured.
Cao Xuan doesn't have an idea of how to do it specifically yet, but if he knows the direction, he can stabilize Zeng's mother, or at least not object.
………
Zeng's mother had prepared the meal, and Cao Xuan helped with the dishes. The doorbell rang, and Zeng's mother opened the door. Remembering that Cao Xuan was still at home, she watched carefully through the peephole.
"Who?"
"Hello, Mr. Cao asked us to come here."
When Cao Xuan heard the commotion, he hurried out and opened the door. Zhang Chong, Zhu Jiang and several of his confidants carried large and small bags of things home.
"Auntie, this is the first time I saw you. I came here in a hurry, so I asked someone to bring something over. Don't be picky. If you don't like what you are talking to, I will exchange it with you."
"It's too much trouble, kid, why did you buy so many things?"
Zeng's mother couldn't stop the smile as she kept mumbling. It wasn't because she was greedy, but the key was that she felt Cao Xuan valued her and was satisfied.
After delivering the things, Zhang Chong and the others ignored Zeng's mother's pleas to stay, and Cao Xuan and the others ate.
Cao Xuan praised Zeng's mother for her superb craftsmanship. Although Zeng's mother was happy, she was not completely fooled and asked tentatively about Cao Xuan's family situation.
"I am an only child. My parents live with me in the capital, but sometimes I go back to my hometown. Many relatives are there, so I have to go back often to visit."
Cao Xuan had nothing to hide, but he still made a point of returning to his hometown often. Zeng's mother nodded and turned to talk about the New Year's etiquette.
When Cao Xuan came home, he met his parents, so Zeng Li should also pay him a visit.
"Auntie, don't tell me, I have the same plan. I even told Lizi a few days ago that I would go see my family. However, I was too busy here before the new year. It may be after the new year."
Cao Xuan was very happy. No matter what kind of request Zeng's mother made, he would always meet it. Even if she wanted to meet Cao Xuan's parents, Cao Xuan would find a way to arrange it.
Regardless of the difficulty, set your attitude first.
What Zeng's mother saw was his attitude. Meeting his parents was of great significance to a pair of young lovers. Zeng Li was relieved to be brought to meet them by Cao Xuan.
As for Zeng's mother herself, she was not ready to meet her in-laws yet, and she always felt that she was a bit caught up in going to meet his parents just after meeting Cao Xuan.
In addition, she also had selfish motives. She felt that her weight was not enough, and she was afraid that Cao Xuan's family would look down on Zeng Li, so she planned to call her great-father back from the United States if she met her in-laws.
Perhaps my great-father was a small boss in front of Cao Xuan, but he could barely handle it.
Although the two young men Cao Xuan and Zeng Li may not care about this, even Cao Xuan's parents don't care.
But Zeng's mother was a bit sensitive about this aspect and wanted to earn as much face for Zeng Li as possible.
Cao Xuan could vaguely sense what his great-mother was thinking, so he praised Zeng Li harder, praising Zeng Li like a god, as if she and Zeng Li were in love because he had accumulated eight generations of blessings.
The words were so disgusting that Zeng Li himself blushed and pinched his thigh secretly, but Cao Xuan didn't care, as long as Zeng's mother was happy.
And Zeng's mother was indeed very happy. She knew how much her daughter weighed, so she was worried and entangled.
The more Cao Xuan expresses his love for Zeng Li, the better the relationship between the two will be, and the more she can dispel her worries.
Back then, on the set of "Water Margin", Cao Xuan and Mrs. Li Mingqi got along like their own mothers. On the set of "Young Bao Qingtian", they were also very popular with Zheng Peipei and could be called friends of middle-aged and elderly women.
There have been no achievements in the past two years. It's just that Cao Xuan's status has become higher and he can put on some airs when facing outsiders, unlike before where he could pretend to be honest and cute.
But Cao Xuan's ability to coax the old lady has not been lost. Usually only Sun Lan and his grandma, as well as the seniors who Cao Xuan occasionally visits, can enjoy it. Now he has a mother-in-law.
Cao Xuan lowered his body and the Friends of Elderly Women came online again. He felt his great-mother's pulse again and could prescribe the right medicine. In addition, the mother-in-law became more and more happy as she looked at her son-in-law.
After the meal, my great-mother's impression of him changed greatly, and she began to sincerely consider him as her son-in-law.
Before Cao Xuan left, he stuffed the food he had prepared at home into his arms, sent it downstairs himself, and repeatedly told him to come to his house often to play.
Zeng Li was dumbfounded and admired so much that he wanted to take Cao Xuan as his teacher, so that he could imitate Cao Xuan's parents later.
However, Cao Xuan himself knew very well that his mother-in-law was treating him well for the sake of her daughter Zeng Li, and she hoped that he would treat Zeng Li better.
How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are.
Cao Xuan sighed with emotion but also felt a little guilty and a little bit scared.
If the secret is revealed in the future, the mother-in-law will be driven by love and hate, so she won't poison him directly...
