Zhou Heng left in the early morning without waking me up, saying he didn't want to disturb my rest.
I felt regretful when I woke up, not being able to say goodbye to him.
The next time we meet will be in four days, which feels like an eternity.
Jiang Qingyuan has also returned to school. With the final exams approaching, there is a lot of schoolwork to do. In order to prepare for the exams, Jiang Qingyuan said that he wants to study hard.
In the spacious courtyard, only Mrs. Jiang and Grandma Zhou are left.
Actually, my foot has already healed, but Mrs. Jiang insisted on keeping me for a few more days.
Unconsciously, I have rested for a week. During this time, Du Yuwei did not call to urge me to go to work, but only reminded me to rest and recover.
I guess he feels guilty. Now he knows that he has angered me, and it won't end well. It's too late.
My phone rang, and I thought it would be Zhou Heng, so I hurried into the house to get my phone. But when I picked up the phone, I realized it was my mom calling.
During normal working hours, my mom wouldn't call unless it's something important. My heart started to feel uneasy. Who knows what my mom wants now? I cautiously answered the phone, "Mom, I'm at work, what's the matter?" "Work? What job are you doing? Ling Xiaomeng, where are you?" My mom's tone was filled with anger, and I didn't know what I had done wrong to make her so furious.
"I said with a smile, 'At the company.'
'Are you kidding me? I'm right at your company.'
Huh? What's going on here."
I immediately panicked. My mom wouldn't really come to Rongcheng, that would be terrible.
"You didn't answer my calls, I arranged a Miai for you on the weekend, and you disappeared. Ling Xiaomeng, do you think you can escape from me just because I can't see you?"
"Oh, Mom, look at you being so worldly."
"You're not at home, nor at the office. What do you call it if not playing hide and seek?" I couldn't explain, and at this moment, I had to rush back to the office immediately, or my mom would cause a scene. Mrs. Jiang went to her vegetable base, and Grandma Zhou was busy making lunch. I quickly packed up, explained a few words to Grandma Zhou, and hurried back to Rongcheng.
Along the way, I imagined countless possibilities of how my mom would react. But in the end, I felt that I could only face it head-on and deal with it as it comes.
Yao Yao finally messaged me: "Xiao Meng, come back quickly."
"I'm on my way, first I need to calm my mom down."
"I know. If it weren't for my mom calling to question me, I would have completely forgotten about the Miai this weekend. Besides, I'm not interested in anyone else now that I have Zhou Heng. I'm just not sure how my mom will react when she finds out I'm dating a Taoist priest."
I have a headache and feel restless.
When I arrived at the company, I saw Yao Yao sign Ye Ling me with her eyes to go to Du Yuwei's office.
I nervously approached and knocked on the door.
Inside, I heard Du Yuwei's voice: "Please come in."
I pushed the door open and saw my mother and Du Yuwei sitting to the side, chatting and smiling. I immediately forced a smile, went up in a very obsequious manner, sat next to my mother, linked her arm, and coquettishly exclaimed, "Dear mother, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar."
Du Yuwei gave me a signal, but I couldn't understand it. Anyway, for now, I can only take one step at a time.
"You see, Xiaodu is so sensible, unlike you."
Du Yuwei modestly replied, "Auntie, you're too kind. I'm not as good as you say."
My mom gave me a stern look and said, "Compared to some people, you're actually not that bad."
Of course, she was referring to me.
I shamelessly replied, "Mom, let's talk about this when we get home."
Du Yuwei busily answered the phone: "Yes, Auntie, you've come from far away, you must be tired. Why don't you rest well, and I'll take you to visit Rongcheng tomorrow."
"Okay, Xiao Du is so considerate."
My mom and Du Yuwei exchanged pleasantries for a few moments before we left his office.
Yao Yao escorted us out of the company and whispered to me, "Do you know who brought Auntie here?"
Of course, I didn't know. Wasn't my mom coming by herself?
"Wang Ze."
"Yao Yao's words left me stunned. How did Wang Ze even know my mom? I'm so confused, what's going on? I feel so frustrated, especially towards Wang Ze. Throughout the journey, my mom didn't even talk to me, making me feel very awkward."
Until I entered the house and sat on the sofa, she finally looked at me directly. I knew the opportunity had come, so I busily ran around to serve tea and pour water, saying, "Mom, calm down."
"Can I calm down? You can live a lonely life, but I can't just watch you live so miserably, can I?"
"Oh, Mom, your imagination is too rich. How could I possibly live miserably?"
My mother gave me a white look, with a hint of resentment: "You, you don't know how much your father and I have worried about you?" Yes, over the years, my mother has been busy arranging Miai s for me. But every time, I messed it up. But it's not all my fault. "I know, are you still not over that guy?" I suddenly asked myself, leaving me confused.
Why bring up Wang Ze again? Who told her this time? My mom knows about my first love, but I didn't go into details, just said that I had a breakup.
"If you really can't let go, then reconcile."
My mom earnestly said to me, "Xiao Meng, why should is making it hard for herself."
My face changed dramatically, and my mother must have sensed my resistance. She let out a long sigh, seeming very disappointed in my behavior. "Mom, can I handle my own affairs? In the future, please don't arrange Miai s for me." It took courage to say these words, but I had to make myself clear today.
My mom looked at me in surprise, "What did you say to me?"
"I said, I have a boyfriend now, so I don't need Miai s anymore."
My mom looked at me in shock, her eyes moved a few times, unable to believe what I said.
"Ling Xiaomeng, if you really can conjure up a boyfriend for me to see, let me take a look."
I got anxious: "Fine, take a look."
After saying that, I regretted it. I didn't even greet Zhou Heng, and I let him meet my mother. Will he be unhappy about this?
I can't control that much. In order to shut my mom up, I have to let him see the light.
My mom suddenly changed her expression and asked me with a smile, "Is it Wang Ze?"
"Why do you mention him?"
"Still not admitting it, Wang Ze said it himself, he came back this time to make up with you."
I froze instantly, Wang Ze had met my mom. He told her all this, obviously, he did it on purpose.
I was furious, my face instantly turned ugly.
"Mom, I won't make up with Wang Ze." I got up and angrily went into the bedroom.
My mom was a bit confused and called out from behind me, "Did you two have another argument?"
My head was a mess, trying to figure out what had happened during this time. Wang Ze wanted me to compromise and bring my mom to Rongcheng.
Thinking about this, my heart feels uneasy. He wants to make up, so I have to agree?
As for someone like him who uses such means, I find him even more repulsive.
My mom stood at my door in a huff: "Tomorrow, let me meet your so-called boyfriend. Don't think I don't know you made up a story to fool me."
I turned over and sat up in bed, "Okay, it's settled for tomorrow."
Huh! My mom actually snorted, which really made me angry.
Impulsiveness is the devil, this saying is really true. I should tell Zhou Heng tomorrow that his future mother-in-law wants to meet him.
I scratched my head and felt a terrible headache.
In the end, I still sent him a WeChat message: "I want to see you tomorrow."
He took a long time to reply: "Okay, be careful on your way here. But I might be quite busy tomorrow, so I won't have much time to spend with you."
I threw my phone aside, but still couldn't say the words "my mom wants to see you."
Early in the morning, my mom dragged me out of bed. I knew she wanted to see me compromise.
However, I didn't.
After having breakfast and changing clothes, my mom finally realized that I was serious, and she became hesitant.
"Ling Xiaomeng, are you really in love?"
"What if not?"
As I changed my shoes, I urged her, "Hurry up, we have a two-hour drive, and we need to be back in the afternoon."
"Two hours? This, this..."
My mom was a bit confused, obviously annoyed by the two-hour drive.
"You were the one who strongly insisted, right? I'm just trying to fulfill your wish."
My mom came over, grabbed my arm, and asked tentatively, "It's really not Wang Ze?"
What else can I explain? I just ignored her, turned around, and pulled her out the door. When my mom sat in the car and watched it drive out of the city, she became anxious and kept asking me, "Where are we going? What is this?" "To see your future son-in-law."
"My future son-in-law lives in such a remote place?"
As the car drove further and further, approaching Lingya Mountain, all I could see were fields and mountains. My mom must be feeling very uneasy now. I suppressed a smile and continued driving.
"Is this... Lingya Mountain?"
I nodded, "You have a discerning eye."
My mother looked out the window, her expression changing constantly, sometimes worried, sometimes dejected, and a little troubled. I didn't know what she was thinking, but I knew she was flustered.
"Ling Xiaomeng, is this the person you found to keep vigil?"
I smiled without saying a word and parked the car in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain. My mother followed behind me, her face already changed drastically. She grabbed my arm and said anxiously, "You, you brought me here to meet your future son-in-law, this, this..."
"Let's go, take the cable car."
"Heavens, could it be that he's a staff member at the scenic spot?"
I ignored her and kept walking forward. My mom caught up with me and kept asking me questions. When we got off the cable car, my mom became even more anxious. She followed closely behind me, afraid that I would get lost. "Isn't this the way to Qingyun Temple?"
"Yes, you didn't remember wrong," I replied.
My mom looked surprised and asked, "What are we going to do at Qingyun Temple?"
I glanced back at her, deliberately furrowing my brow, and said very seriously, "To meet your future son-in-law."
"He, he works at Qingyun Temple?"
"Mm. Correct answer."
My mom was stunned, grabbed my hand, and asked, "Ling Xiaomeng, are you kidding? Qingyun Temple is all Taoist priests."
I grinned, and my mom's face turned pale in an instant. She stammered, "Is he, is he the cook at Qingyun Temple? Or the administrator?"
"You'll find out when you get there."
"Why do I feel like my heart is beating so fast?"
My heart beats faster, and I don't know what will happen next. I wanted to take it slow, but my mom is pushing me. I don't know if she can accept Zhou Heng's profession.
