Lu Yang changed into his shoes after entering the door.
He looked at the villa. It was not very large, but it was well-kept. From the wallpaper on the wall, he could tell that they had lived there for several years.
I don't know why this home seems a bit deserted.
With Xu Hairong's family background, it shouldn't be a problem to hire some nannies and chefs, right?
After Xu Xiaoxiao changed into slippers, she went to the kitchen to find her mother.
Zheng Li was making soup in the kitchen, and there were many dishes on the dining room table. It was obvious that she had been busy for a long time.
Xu Xiaoxiao hugged Zheng Li from behind: "Mom, we are back."
Zheng Li turned down the fire on the stove, turned around and said with a smile: "Let's go, take me to see Lu Yang."
Xu Xiaoxiao came out holding Zheng Li's arm.
Lu Yanggang handed the Moutai in his hand to Xu Hairong.
Xu Xiaoxiao introduced: "Lu Yang, this is my mother."
Lu Yang looked at Zheng Li, who was about fifty years old and looked very similar to Xu Xiaoxiao. Her skin was well maintained, she wore casual home clothes, and her temperament was graceful and demure.
He said hurriedly: "Hello, aunt, I have always heard Xiaoxiao mention you, and today I finally met you."
Zheng Li smiled and nodded: "Lu Yang, I heard Xiaoxiao always talk about you. Is this your first time in Yangcheng? Did Xiaoxiao take you to taste Cantonese food?"
Lu Yang has been here several times on business trips and has tasted a lot of delicacies, large and small, but he still prefers the taste of the north.
Of course, these cannot be said.
Lu Yang said politely: "Auntie, this is my first time here."
Xu Hairong next to him stared at him. It was his first time to take his daughter to the hotel with ease?
If I come here a few more times in the future, wouldn’t I think of this place as my home?
He never told Zheng Li that Lu Yang lived with his daughter last night, which would affect his daughter's reputation.
Zheng Li invited Lu Yang to stop standing and sit down quickly.
She asked Xu Xiaoxiao to bring snacks and snacks.
No matter how dissatisfied Xu Hairong was with Lu Yang in his heart, he behaved very politely on the surface.
The kind of scenes in TV dramas where the mother-in-law is flattering the superior and the inferior will never happen in reality.
What is hospitality?
Even if they are not satisfied with Lu Yang, they will still treat him warmly.
Xu Hairong and Zheng Li both have university education and are in business, so their quality is not a problem.
Lu Yang didn't act so reserved and sat down on the sofa generously.
When Xu Hairong poured tea for Lu Yang himself, Lu Yang would lean forward and support him with both hands.
Zheng Li sees all this, which shows that Lu Yang's tutor is not bad.
Xu Xiaoxiao brought snacks.
Zheng Li began to ask the elders the classic three-question question.
How old are you this year?
What do your parents do?
Are there any brothers or sisters at home?
Lu Yang also coped with it easily.
In fact, Zheng Li knew all these issues, and Xu Hairong had almost done an investigation into Lu Yang's family background.
Zheng Li asked: "Is your mother about the same age as us?"
Lu Yang: "My mother is in her forties."
Shen Lijuan is younger than Zheng Li. At the time of Shen Lijuan and Lu Jianjun, it was common to get married at the age of twenty.
Zheng Li and Xu Hairong had children relatively late because they were in college and later started their own businesses.
The topics they chatted with were quite comprehensive, and Lu Yang's impression on Zheng Li gradually improved.
First of all, Lu Yang's appearance is absolutely fine, and he is also tall.
Xu Hairong and Zheng Li are both not tall. Xu Hairong is 1.72 meters tall, which indirectly leads to Xu Xiaoxiao being only 1.6 meters tall.
Zheng Li has always wanted to find a tall son-in-law, which will be good for the next generation.
Secondly, Lu Yang has his own business and can achieve a market value of tens of millions at this age, which is enough to surpass 99.9% of people his age.
All in all, she was quite satisfied with Lu Yang.
The only drawback is that Lu Yang is not a local, so when the holidays come in the future, it will be a question of whose home he goes to celebrate the holidays.
Oh, forget it, just take it one step at a time.
Zheng Li invited Lu Yang to wash hands and have dinner.
Xu Xiaoxiao accompanied Lu Yang to the bathroom. She quietly asked Lu Yang: "How do you feel?"
Lu Yang: "It's okay. Auntie seems quite kind."
Xu Xiaoxiao raised her fair chin: "It means my mother is quite satisfied with you."
She playfully flicked the water droplets on Lu Yang's face.
Lu Yang chuckled and reached out to grab Xu Xiaoxiao's hand: "Xiaoxiao, you are really wasting water."
Xu Xiaoxiao's face turned red and she waved her fist to hit Lu Yang.
In the end, he threw himself into Lu Yang's arms.
In the restaurant, Xu Hairong helped Zheng Li serve the dishes.
He asked: "What do you think?"
Zheng Li smiled and said: "As long as my daughter likes it, I have no objection."
Xu Hairong was stunned for a moment. He wanted to tell Zheng Li what happened to Lu Yang and his daughter yesterday.
When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.
Looking at his wife's busy back, Xu Hairong remembered the scene when he was young.
When did he and Zheng Li taste the forbidden fruit?
It seemed to be her senior year, when all her classmates had graduated and left school, and they were about to leave. Zheng Li came to see Xu Hairong.
Boys' dormitory, narrow and cramped hard bed...
The poorer the love, the more pure it is.
Zheng Li went through a lot of hardships with Xu Hairong. They had no money at the beginning. Zheng Li got pregnant unexpectedly. She had to live and work at the same time and had a miscarriage due to overwork.
If not for that accident, Xu Xiaoxiao would have been their second child, and the third boy died in infancy...
So Xu Hairong dotes on Xu Xiaoxiao very much.
Zheng Li waved her hand in front of Xu Hairong.
She glared at Xu Hairong: "What are you thinking about?"
Xu Hairong came back to his senses: "It's okay, I just feel like my daughter has grown up suddenly."
Zheng Li considerately pinched off a piece of hair from Xu Hairong's face.
She advised: "When children grow up, we parents must learn to withdraw from their lives appropriately. No matter whether they are good or bad, we must learn to accept them."
Xu Hairong: "But..."
Zheng Li: "Old Xu, you haven't changed your mind yet. Think about it, when your daughter was a child, you helped her find schools and interest classes. Was it all planned by you?"
Xu Hairong nodded.
Zheng Li analyzed it for him: "So this time when my daughter filled out her application, she didn't respect your choice, but ran to the north."
Xu Hairong thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
He asked again: "Then, do you agree to the marriage between Lu Yang and our daughter?"
Zheng Li was speechless. Why was Lao Xu, who was usually calm, so confused today?
She reminded: "The two children are just in love now. When they feel that the relationship is almost done, they will naturally come to us to discuss marriage. Don't be impatient yet."
Xu Hairong finally figured it out after being lectured by Zheng Li.
Well, my daughter is in love!
Just wait until you get married to talk about it.
He always thought about letting his daughter die together, but times have changed, and it is unrealistic to say that now.
Lu Yang and Xu Xiaoxiao came out of the bathroom.
Zheng Li also knew it was interesting and stopped chatting, but invited Lu Yang to sit down quickly.
Xu Hairong first served a bowl of pork belly and chicken soup to Lu Yang and Xu Xiaoxiao.
As a northerner, Lu Yang found out after coming to Yangcheng that they like to drink soup before meals.
He was out socializing for dinner, and when he saw the waiter serving everyone a bowl of soup at the beginning, he always felt guilty: after drinking the soup, his stomach was half full. No wonder people in Guangdong Province are so thin because they drink soup!
Sometimes he would pick up the bowl and ask curiously: Are the strange-looking ingredients in it safe to drink?
