Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Two [Mother-in-Law Looks at Son-in-Law]

572

The two chatted and laughed, and walked outside a Sichuan restaurant named Thyme, without knowing it. The signboard was still brand new, and the red color was very conspicuous. It should have just opened not long ago. ***

Because it wasn't very late, there were only three or four seats in the small restaurant, and Mrs. Xiang, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, was just as fat as the féiféi in the past, busy at the counter.

Yang Chen and Mo Qianni entered the door together, Mrs. Xiang thought they were guests, but when she looked up, she saw the two of them, her eyes lit up, she squinted and said: "Nizi, I haven't brought your boyfriend here for a long time, It's Xiao Yang, am I remembering correctly?"

"I remember correctly, Mrs. Xiang's shop seems to be in good business, they have changed shops," Yang Chen said with a smile.

Mrs. Xiang was cheerful when she heard this, "It's a small business, so I can make do with it. You and Nizi are here to see your mother-in-law. Guifang just went to the kitchen, and she will come out later."

While talking, Ma Guifang, wearing an apron and ponytail, came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of spicy fried screws.

Compared with the last time I saw it in Kunshan Village, Ma Guifang didn't change much, but she was dressed more like a city person. Although there were some wrinkles on her still charming face, she looked like an old lady. From her body, It is obvious that Mo Qianni can see the similarities in appearance.

"Mom, Yang Chen is back," Mo Qianni shouted happily.

Ma Guifang was also overjoyed to see Yang Chen. In the past few days in Zhonghai, her daughter has been able to see her every day. After all, she lives together, but her future son-in-law just happens to be not in the country. Today, she finally saw her. She smiled and said: " Yang Chen is back from a business trip, wait, I'll serve it to the guests first."

Yang Chen responded repeatedly, he remembered that Ma Guifang used to call him "Yang's son-in-law", but now he just called him by name, which is much more cordial.

After Ma Guifang served the dishes, she walked up to the two of them, and cast a reproachful look at Mo Qianni, "You child, come here at this time, don't you know that Mrs. Xiang is going to do business, mom is busy here."

"It was Yang Chen who said he wanted to invite Mom to dinner, and I couldn't stop it." Mo Qianni pushed the matter on Yang Chen against her will, but it was obviously to give the man extra points.

Yang Chen hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, I said on the phone before that I want to make amends for you, Mom, so you can reward me."

Ma Guifang hesitated, and said, "The shop is about to get busy, so I'll go out like this..."

Mrs. Xiang on the side quickly interrupted: "Oh, I said that Guifang is her own, what's the matter. Your daughter and son-in-law came here specially, can I keep you from going out? It's not serious." Don't worry about my shop when you have to go to work. I just settled the previous account, and I'll serve the food tonight, so you can rest assured to have dinner with your son-in-law."

Hearing Mrs. Xiang's words, Ma Guifang accepted her kindness, nodded and said, "Then I'm going to leave."

Although you can eat in a Sichuan restaurant, it's still inappropriate. If Mrs. Xiang wants to eat and drink for nothing, it will be difficult for Ma Guifang, so she goes directly to eat outside.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Xiang, the three of them walked out of the restaurant. Mo Qianni was holding her mother's arm this time, but she wasn't too close to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen asked how Ma Guifang's lumbar spine treatment was going, and said some thoughtful words, which made Ma Guifang very helpful, and she smiled happily.

Yang Chen secretly murmured in his heart, in fact, he still has the roots of wisdom, at least in terms of the ability to make his mother-in-law happy, to be honest, it would be impossible without this ability, who would make him have so many wives!

Sit in Mo Qianni's Audi, this time it was Yang Chen who drove it, and went straight to a relatively high-end restaurant by the sea. That was the place Mo Qianni had chosen before, and the choice was naturally quiet, after all, Ma Guifang There are many things to talk to Yang Chen.

Came to a place near the window on the second floor of the restaurant. Outside the glass window was the sea colored by lights. In the vast sky, a round of silver moon hung quietly.

Ma Guifang looked at the orderly restaurant waiters around her, and then at the elegant decoration and the magnificent view of the house. She felt a little like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and she kept looking around.

It can be said that he spent half of his life in the mountain village before, and it is natural to see everything in a big city.

In the eyes of other young people, this aunt looks like a bumpkin at first glance, she feels disdainful, looks on coldly, and even cynicism is very common.

But Yang Chen doesn't care at all, he has a thick skin, he sells mutton skewers as soon as he returns to China, and spends all day in the vegetable market dealing with those hawkers, so he doesn't have that kind of thought about high or low.

Seeing Ma Guifang felt all kinds of novelties, and even took Ma Guifang around the restaurant specially, and gave Mo Qianni the job of ordering food.

Ever since, a young man and a middle-aged woman swaggered in the restaurant to earn a lot of attention. Many people pointed at Yang Chen and the two, but they didn't pay attention to Yang Chen at all.

Ma Guifang was very relieved. She came to a big city from Sichuan Province alone to find a daughter. On the way, because she was ignorant and uneducated, she received a lot of stares. Nowadays, young people, especially those in the city, always look down on her like this A village fù from the countryside.

Ma Guifang is not stupid, she can't see any hypocrisy in Yang Chen's eyes, she clearly doesn't mind her mother-in-law's background at all, she just wants to please herself and make herself happy.

I don't know where my daughter found such a special young man. This time, it can be said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more she likes to make gods.

In such a situation, Mo Qianni, as a middleman, is naturally full of happiness. She has worked so hard in Zhonghai for so many years to reach her current status, so no one will judge her past background. She is very afraid that her mother will be scorned by others, but She saw Yang Chen's sincerity, and her love for Yang Chen quietly became stronger.

When the dishes came, Yang Chen was busy pouring wine for Ma Guifang. Seven or eight dishes for a table was a lot, but Mo Qianni knew Yang Chen's appetite, so she ordered boldly and generously.

Ma Guifang insisted on looking at the price of the menu, and when she saw that the table cost nearly three thousand including drinks, she immediately gave her daughter a displeased look, and said, "It's a waste of money, three thousand yuan to buy vegetables and cook at home." , How many days will I have to eat?"

Mo Qianni stuck out her tongue, glanced at Yang Chen with her beautiful eyes, and said, "Mom, don't worry, this little money is nothing to Yang Chen."

Although Lin Ruoxi never said it, but as the company's second in command, Mo Qianni could easily guess that the 50 billion cash that helped the company turn the tide back then was absolutely inseparable from Yang Chen.

This man himself is considered a top-notch man, driving a woman's car, living in a woman's house, and working in a woman's company, but he clearly has the most money, which is really helpless and thick-skinned.

Yang Chen didn't think much about it, he just nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, as long as Mom enjoys eating, let alone three thousand, thirty thousand, three hundred thousand, I won't even blink my eyes!"

"Three hundred thousand..." Ma Guifang felt a headache. Although she thought that Yang Chen should not be an ordinary person, she also felt that it was too exaggerated, so she quickly shook her hands, "Stop talking nonsense, eat, let's chat while talking .”

Yang Chen saw Ma Guifang's face as if he was joking, and was immediately depressed. It was rare for him to be honest and generous, why did his mother-in-law still think he was bragging?

The next three people ate and laughed, Ma Guifang told some embarrassing things about Mo Qianni's childhood, which made Mo Qianni coquettish and angry again and again.

They asked a lot about Yang Chen's past and current work situation, and Yang Chen chose some things that were not easy to be exposed and briefly talked about them.

When it comes to family, Yang Chen is more difficult to answer. At present, although he is not interested and unwilling, it seems that he cannot be separated from the Yang family in Yanjing.

Especially this time, Yan Sanniang's appearance helped me a lot - although Yan Sanniang felt that her help was useless, she was already in debt.

What's more, even if I don't recognize Yang Gongming, Guo Xuehua is definitely still the daughter-in-law of the Yang family. Even though my wife Lin Ruoxi doesn't agree with me, she has learned enough to be a good baby in front of that old man Yang Gongming, making herself dumbfounded. .

Yang Gongming held the two most important women around him in the palm of his hand, so it was difficult for him to break away from the Yang family.

So, when he told Ma Guifang, Yang Chen also told about his family in Yanjing and his mother in Zhonghai.

No, as soon as she told her mother that she was in Zhonghai, Mo Qianni, who was sitting next to Ma Guifang, looked nervous for a while, and secretly glared at Yang Chen with annoyed expression on her face.

Yang Chen didn't understand, so, did he say something wrong?

Ma Guifang said happily at this time: "It turns out that Yang Chen and your mother are in Zhonghai. That's really great. Why don't you find a day and let me meet your mother. After all, it's time for Nizi to start a family. It's been a long time, and seeing that the relationship between you young couple is like this, why don't you find a day for the parents of both parties to settle the matter."

"Huh?" Yang Chen's mind suddenly turned into a mess, motherfucker! Let's play big! How could I be so stupid? No wonder Mo Qianni stared at her like an "idiot"!

Ma Guifang thought that Yang Chen was a little surprised, so she didn't think much about it, and continued: "To be honest, although I have only met twice, but you are willing to accompany Nizi back to our poor mountain village, I really like to make a god of you .Now see you again, the more you look at it, the more pleasing to the eye. I am just such a girl, and I am also a person who has been there. I know such things as fate, so you must not miss it. You can take advantage of the fact that I can still hug your grandson when the time comes. For the sake of it, get married early."

"Mom...I'm very busy with work right now, and it's still too early to get married..." Mo Qianni saw that Yang Chen was already stupid, so she could only shake her mother's hand coquettishly, trying to let things drag on first.

Ma Guifang rolled her eyes at her daughter, and said unhappily: "Why, you have to wait until mom can't walk before getting married and having children? Nizi, although mom's body is better now, but I'm sick, I don't know when Will you be paralyzed? Mom let you get married early, it is for your own good, besides, you are not young anymore, many girls at your age, their children can run around all over the place. "

Mo Qianni had nothing to say for a moment, and Ma Guifang tried to convince herself that she might become paralyzed. It would be too unfilial for a daughter like her to object.

But... I can't marry Yang Chen...

Mo Qianni secretly looked at Yang Chen resentfully, she could do nothing but see how Yang Chen would deal with it.

Yang Chen came back to his senses at this time, many thoughts flew through his mind, and finally he also figured it out.

In fact, this kind of thing can be avoided once, but not for a lifetime. Ma Guifang will always know the real relationship and situation between himself and Mo Qianni, so it is useless to avoid it blindly, it is better to be more frank.

Fortunately, among his wives, Qiangwei, An Xin, and Liu Mingyu didn't have any problems in this regard. After all, Cai Yan was the daughter of the Cai family. Even if Cai Yuncheng took his own identity into account, he would not hinder his daughter's choice too much.

Speaking of which, only Mo Qianni is the daughter of an ordinary family, and this is also a rare aspect of her by her side.

"I think it's okay, I'll talk to my mother when I get home today, and let her find time to meet you," Yang Chen said sincerely.

Mo Qianni looked astonished, she didn't know what Yang Chen was thinking, wouldn't she be completely exposed after this meeting? She was apprehensive, but she couldn't stop it.

In fact, Mo Qianni had met Yang Chen's mother a long time ago, Guo Xuehua lived next door after all, when Guo Xuehua brought delicious food to the house several times before, she and Qiangwei entertained Guo Xuehua, and they had a good talk.

But Guo Xuehua always thought that Qiangwei was Yang Chen's lover, and he was just the sister of Qiangwei and Lin Ruoxi, so there was nothing embarrassing about it.

Now, if Guo Xuehua knew that he was also her son's lover, he didn't know how he would feel, and, more importantly, how his mother would react at that time, it was too uneasy to feel at ease.

When Guo Xuehua heard that Yang Chen accepted the proposal, he was even more delighted, and he said yes repeatedly. After drinking the wine, his cheeks were flushed, and he looked younger by several years.

After a dinner, Ma Guifang was a little drunk, and Mo Qianni helped her back into the car to go home, while Yang Chen went back to the company to pick up the car, so after paying the money, he took a taxi by himself.

Watching Mo Qianni drive away, Yang Chen scratched the back of his head, took a breath of the wet and cold air on the side of the road, and thought, he can only talk to his mother about Mo Qianni's problem, the meeting is necessary, the key is to see Can't convince my mother-in-law. As for if things get dirty in the end, Yang Chen can only use soldiers to stop him.

At the same time, on the way home, Ma Guifang, who was sitting in the car, had a somewhat different look in her eyes, as if she was leaning on the seat half drunk and half awake, and asked, "Ni Son, do you and Yang Chen have something to hide from me?"

When Mo Qianni, who was concentrating on driving, heard this, her hands holding the steering wheel shook. Fortunately, she couldn't see her expression clearly in the dark, so she said with a stiff smile, "Mom, what are you talking about, you scared me."

"It's best not to. If you really let me know that you guys are hiding something important from me, Mom will tell you the ugliness first. Although I, Ma Guifang, haven't read any books, I'm not blind. No matter what you Mo Qianni are doing in Zhonghai now The way to get ahead is my daughter, and I can take care of my daughter. You can't have the slightest thought about things that you can't do."

Ma Guifang's voice was very flat, but when it fell into Mo Qianni's ears, her heart couldn't stop beating wildly, and she couldn't say a word.
