Chapter 268 Suffocating Family - Going on a Blind Date
Chapter 268 Suffocating Family - Going on a Blind Date
An ordinary roadside cafe on Saturday afternoon.
There was a lady sitting in the booth by the window. She was wearing a sports suit and looked like she had no makeup on and no manners. Opposite her sat a man in a suit and tie who looked like he was an insurance salesman.
One was reserved, the other casual. The two looked more like they were meeting a client than a blind date.
Wang Hehua sat in a booth not far away and secretly watched the two of them.
Zhou Leng looked at the boy and said casually while holding her coffee:
"We should have looked at each other's information. I see you are doing tests in the hospital. I don't understand much of this. Are you busy at work? Do you work overtime a lot? Can you take care of your family in the future?"
The boy answered:
"It's OK. It's not too busy. I don't always work overtime. You teachers should work overtime. It's usually very hard. Can you spare time to take care of your children when you have them in the future?"
Zhou Leng stared into his eyes, and she changed the subject without changing her tone:
"You don't usually wear suits, do you? Did your mother choose this for you? It doesn't suit you very well. When you walk down the street, you'll see that they're either selling insurance or real estate."
The boy seemed a little embarrassed when he heard this. He rubbed the cup with his fingers helplessly. He looked up at the girl and saw her beautiful face. He nodded shyly and answered in a low voice:
"My mom said it makes me look more formal. I don't usually wear formal clothes."
Zhou Leng raised her eyebrows and said:
"It does look formal. I thought you wanted to discuss business with me. You might as well dress more casually next time you go on a blind date. You look good, and you'll look more handsome in casual clothes, which will add points."
The boy nodded shyly. He answered: "As for clothes, I can wear whatever is comfortable, but my mom won't let me."
Zhou Leng stared into the other person's eyes and said:
"I don't think you're studying medicine, but acting. A person's eyes can't lie. Don't pretend here. Your mother isn't watching you. Only my mother is watching from a distance."
The boy remained calm and continued to act shy and whispered:
"How do you know no one is watching? I've gotten used to being myself. I can't get rid of it. I can only accept it. This might be a mental illness. I've fallen in love with this kind of performance. You're the first person to see through me."
Zhou Leng couldn't help rolling her eyes. She said casually:
"When I was acting, you were still nursing in your mother's arms. Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's talk about today's business."
The girl looked at Erjiao's rebellious look and said nonchalantly:
"Since you are here for a blind date today, let's be clear. We are on a blind date in order to get married, so we will live together after marriage. I want to make my request first. After marriage, I want to bring my mother with me. We must bring my mother with us on dates, meals and trips, otherwise she will be lonely. I will suffer from insomnia if I don't drink the milk poured by my mother before going to bed. I will not be able to walk in the morning if I don't wear the shoes chosen by my mother when I go out. Can you accept this?"
The boy tried hard to suppress his smile. He looked at the other person's casual expression, leaned forward and whispered:
"My mother may be watching us from some dark corner right now. She must be very unhappy with your behavior. How about we get to know each other better? I always feel that your mother and my mother are destined to be a family. We look so alike. The days ahead will definitely be exciting."
Zhou Leng turned her head slightly to look at Wang Hehua who was looking at the two of them. She said in the same tone:
"I don't want to do such a ridiculous thing. I deserve to live alone with a mother like this. I'd better stop harming others."
The boy stepped back to his previous position, restored his polite smile and said:
"You are very good and a special person. I like you very much. I hope to start a family with you. However, you have made so many requests. I need to go home and talk to my mother. If she agrees, I will have no objection. Also, we cannot go Dutch today because my mother said that it would be rude for a man not to pay."
Zhou Leng imitated the other party's expression and tone and said:
"I don't think what your mom said makes as much sense as what my mom said. Today we should go Dutch. Ladies also need to be graceful. Why should I ask you to show your gentlemanly manners just for a cup of coffee? My mom said that using money to measure a man's manners is objectifying women. It is hindering the development of gender equality."
The boy had a smile on his face, a rare genuine smile. He stretched out his hand and said:
"Nice to meet you. Hope we can meet again if we have the chance. Let's go Dutch."
The two shook hands and went to pay the bill together.
After paying the bill, one waited in the cafe for his mother to come find him, and the other "accidentally" met his mother not far away after leaving.
Wang Hehua excitedly stepped forward and took her daughter's arm. She asked with a bright smile:
"This one is not bad. He looks good and has a stable job. You can see how much he values her and she is well dressed. What do you think?"
Zhou Leng looked at her mother, and after confirming her thoughts, she said:
"I think it's good. We had a good chat. But she said she would go home and ask her mother if she agrees with us being together. Everything depends on her mother's opinion. Her mother also chose the clothes she wore today. I think it's good. If we get married in the future, her mother can take care of me. I don't like buying clothes by myself. You used to buy them for me. Now let my mother-in-law buy them for me. I don't have to worry about it."
Wang Hehua's expression changed again and again, and she said in a bad tone:
"No, this guy is not okay. Isn't he a mama's boy? He wants his mother to do everything for him. He doesn't have hands. This guy is definitely not okay. If you two really want to be together and get married, I think the mother-in-law will have to meddle in your affairs every day. This guy is definitely not okay. Mom will definitely find you a better one. Don't worry."
Zhou Leng turned her head and looked at her mother with a look that said, "Why do you say that so well?" She said in the same tone:
"You're right. If my mother doesn't agree, I will definitely not look for someone. Next time, if there's a suitable one, let me know and we can go on a blind date again. With my conditions, there's no way I can't find one. I still have my invincible mother to help me with my advice."
Wang Hehua was naturally happy when she heard her daughter say that she was a good mother. It was just that she saw other people's mama's boys but not her own mama's girl.
On the way home, Wang Hehua complained about the other party:
"I'm very popular in the blind date corner. You're good-looking, have a good job, and own a house and a car. You won't be interested in those ugly guys. If Huang He's mother hadn't taken the initiative to talk to me, I wouldn't have looked down on their family."
Zhou Leng couldn't help but said:
"You're right. You can't find ugly people. All you can find are the ultimate mama's boys or nerds who live off their parents."
Wang Hehua glared at his daughter and said:
"You are too one-sided. There are good ones too. You have to take your time to find them. If your mother hadn't arranged everything for you, you wouldn't have any social life. You would be facing students and teachers every day."
Zhou Leng looked at her smug mother in the rearview mirror and laughed out loud. She had been single for so long that even her controlling mother looked pretty.
