Chapter 279 Future Son-in-Law
Zheng Lifan pushed his daughter and said angrily:
"Is this how you treat your mother?"
"How long has it been since we last met?"
Not only did you not greet me cheerfully, but you also spoke in such a tone that you disliked seeing me!"
Zheng Lifan rushed into the kitchen, took out the large and small bags from the cart, took out various foods from the plastic bags, and stuffed them into the refrigerator.
Zheng Yi felt extremely guilty. She wanted to explain to her mother that she wasn't mean to her, but if she did, her mother would ask her if she was mean to Zhu Kai...
She praised Zhu Kai to the skies in front of her mother. She couldn't let her mother know about their quarrel before they even met, especially since no one knew where Zhu Kai had gone.
The girl was thinking in her mind how to explain to her mother. Should she just say that Zhu Kai was on a business trip?
Yes! That’s a good excuse!
"Mom, why did you come here without saying hello?"
"Zhu Kai's company recently took on a new project, and he's been on a business trip these days."
Zheng Lifan didn't stop working. She was putting a bunch of vegetables into the basket next to the refrigerator. She turned around and glanced at Zheng Yi, then said calmly:
"Do I need to report in advance when I come to my daughter's place?"
"Of course you can come whenever you want. If I tell you in advance, I can see your real living environment."
After saying that, Zheng Lifan stood up and rubbed his slightly sore knees. The middle-aged woman quickly glanced around the kitchen and said with satisfaction:
"The kitchen is quite clean. It looks like you cooked tonight?"
Zheng Yi thought of the unpleasant incident at the dinner table, nodded silently, and rubbed her hands together.
At this time, Zheng Lifan walked from the kitchen to the living room, passing by Zheng Yi. He noticed his daughter's mood change and asked with concern:
"What's wrong? The food you cooked yourself is not tasty?"
Ok?
Zheng Yi raised her head with a frown on her face. She thought the food Zhu Kai cooked was delicious!
Mom had already walked to the dining table. Looking at the one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, a soup, and the two dishes Zhu Kai had bought, she asked in surprise and anger:
"Daughter, why do you eat so much so late at night?"
"The pigs back home are not as good as yours!"
"And this junk food! How many times have I told you this? It's all rotten meat from dead cats and dogs. I told you not to eat it, but you insisted on eating it!"
Mom started chattering again. Zheng Yi supported her chin with both hands and sat beside her, listening obediently. She just let her mom chatter for a while longer.
This way she wouldn't notice other things, such as the two eating bowls and two pairs of chopsticks on the table.
The combination lock is open!
Zheng Yi's mouth dropped open in surprise. What she feared had come true. How could Zhu Kai be home so soon? Didn't he see the message she had sent her?
"Baby! Come and see!"
Zheng Lifan was scolding his daughter one second ago, but the next second he heard the voice of his future son-in-law, immediately shut up, and walked to the door with a smile on his face.
"You are Zhu Kai, right?"
"Oh, he's just as handsome as in the picture Zheng Yi sent me!"
"Ah...Auntie?" Zhu Kai called out timidly, looking for help at his girlfriend behind Zheng Lifan.
Zheng Yi, who received Zhu Kai's call for help, immediately rushed over and stood side by side with the man.
"Zhu Kai, this is my mother."
"Mom, this is Zhu Kai, my boyfriend and my future husband!" After saying that, she turned around and gave Zhu Kai a comforting look.
The man was still a little nervous, shrinking his neck and grinning foolishly.
When Zheng Lifan saw the look on his daughter's boyfriend's face, he knew he was an honest boy, so he quickly let him in.
Zhu Kai sat uncomfortably next to his girlfriend, accepting the judgment of his future mother-in-law. Although he was a little nervous, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable liking for this aunt whom he had never met before, just like the intimacy between relatives.
Perhaps, because the other person is his girlfriend's mother, he has this feeling of loving her as well as loving her family.
"Xiao Zhu, Zheng Yi said you were on a business trip, but I saw you didn't even bring your luggage back..." Zheng Lifan's eyes were full of confusion.
"Ah? I didn't..."
"Mom! It's like this. He just came back temporarily today and has to go back again. It's very troublesome to carry the luggage back and forth, so he came empty-handed."
Zheng Lifan nodded: "Oh, so that's how it is."
After hearing her mother's answer, Zheng Yi thought she believed the lie she had just made up. She raised her head happily, but found that she was looking at her meaningfully. She became so nervous that her palms started sweating.
The atmosphere in the living room became very tense. Zhu Kai felt as if a rope was hanging him straight up, making him unable to move.
Mother Zheng glanced at her future son-in-law, whose forehead was covered in sweat. In the end, she pretended to believe Zheng Yi's words and smiled slightly.
"You came back so late, haven't you eaten yet?"
"Zheng Yi just cooked and we were just about to eat. Now that you're back, let's eat first."
Zhu Kai quickly agreed: "Hey! Okay. Let's eat first."
Mother Zheng went to the kitchen to serve food. Zheng Yi pulled Zhu Kai to sit on a chair. Before she could question the man, he took out a new tie that had been mended:
"Look!" Zhu Kai spread the tie in front of his girlfriend, and the gap that she had accidentally cut with scissors was no longer there.
The old lady in the sewing shop used thread of almost the same color, and after sewing it, she added a layer of gold thread, making the navy blue tie even more unique.
And in this way, no one will ever find out that it has been cut.
Zheng Yi took the tie in his hand and examined it repeatedly, and said excitedly: "This...is this really the tie I bought today?"
"What tie?"
Mother Zheng served the meal and brought it over, placing a bowl in front of Zhu Kai and Zheng Yi respectively.
Zheng Yi was startled by her mother at first. She touched the tie in her hand and smiled mischievously:
"Mom, do you think this new tie looks good?"
Mother Zheng took the tie, touched it from beginning to end, and said with a serious expression:
"It looks good, how much is it?"
Zheng Yi looked at her boyfriend happily and said:
"Look, even my mom can't tell!"
Mother Zheng picked up the bowl, picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks, and asked casually:
"Can't you see anything?"
Zheng Yi pointed mysteriously at the place on the tie embroidered with gold thread and said, "You can't tell it's been cut here!" The girl burst into laughter. Zhu Kai was infected by his girlfriend's laughter and felt that all the hard work of the night was worth it, so he laughed too.
Mother Zheng looked at the two of them in confusion and asked doubtfully:
"Why do you need to cut your new tie?"
amount……
The two young men fell silent instantly, and Zheng Yi lowered her head and used chopsticks to pick up the rice grains in the bowl.
