Chapter 437 Chen Congming VS Situ Yuanyuan (8)
Lin Yaoyao asked Situ Yuanyuan when she got together with Chen Congming.
Situ Yuanyuan just wanted to say... Is this something you can ask?
Don't you feel embarrassed asking such a question?
When did you get together? If you could just say it, you would have said it long ago. Why keep it a secret until now?
Situ Yuanyuan frowned, her eyes filled with difficulty as she looked at Lin Yaoyao.
Lin Yaoyao smiled, "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient to say? Then let me guess. Three years ago?"
Situ Yuanyuan remained silent.
Lin Yaoyao: "Five years ago?"
Situ Yuanyuan remained silent.
Lin Yaoyao: “…”
It couldn't have been 6 or 7 years ago, could it?
At that time, Situ Yuanyuan had just joined the company and hadn't even established herself in the entertainment industry yet. That Chen Congming kid was way too...preemptive!
But on second thought, Lin Yaoyao was genuinely happy for Chen Congming and Situ Yuanyuan.
Previously, Lin Yaoyao's biggest worry was Chen Congming's personal life. He was such a good person, he should meet a wonderful girl who was in love with him, and then they could build a happy and fulfilling family.
In fact, when Chen Congming's feelings for Lin Yaoyao had been stable, remaining at 93 points, but he had no romantic feelings for her, she once asked him why he got rich 99 times.
"Get Rich 99" says: There are many kinds of emotions in the world, such as love, friendship, and family affection, all of which generate corresponding favorability values.
After that, Lin Yaoyao arranged many blind dates for Chen Congming, both openly and secretly, but he cleverly avoided them all. Later, at a particular time, he seriously told her, "Sister Yao, I don't have any plans to date or get married for the time being, so don't worry about me anymore."
Looking back now, perhaps Chen Congming was already coveting Situ Yuanyuan back then.
Or perhaps, Chen Congming and Situ Yuanyuan were already together at that time.
With various thoughts swirling in her mind, Lin Yaoyao sighed several times, "You guys really went too far, keeping this from us for so long."
"I'm going on a shopping spree after dinner, you pay."
Situ Yuanyuan was more than happy to hear Lin Yaoyao say that. She nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for whatever you buy."
Upon hearing Situ Yuanyuan's words, the other five sisters swallowed back the words they were about to say. Instead, they expressed their gratitude in unison.
"Thank you, Mrs. President."
Situ Yuanyuan: “…”
...
Situ Yuanyuan and her sisters shopped until 5:30 in the evening before parting ways.
They had actually planned to have dinner together, but Chen Congming called to say that his mother wanted to see her, so he had to stand up his girlfriends.
There was no way around it; the first formal meeting with my mother-in-law was quite important!
Especially when I saw her yesterday, she was lying in bed, looking completely bewildered, even though Chen's mother had given her such an expensive jade bracelet.
Chen Congming picked up Situ Yuanyuan outside the mall. As soon as she got in the car, she asked him earnestly, "I spent a long time choosing what gift to buy for Auntie. In the end, I chose a gold bar!"
"Honey...you don't think I'm tacky, do you?"
If Situ Yuanyuan had bought something else, Chen Congming could have nitpicked and found fault with it.
But gold bars, to be honest, are truly unbeatable!
Because older mothers love gold the most.
"Don't worry, my mom will definitely like it."
Half an hour later, in a private room at a low-key yet luxurious but high-class restaurant in Qingcheng, Situ Yuanyuan met Chen Congming's mother.
Today, Mrs. Chen wore a well-fitting red cheongsam, her hair was styled into a bun with a hairpin, and she wore light makeup. She looked incredibly elegant.
It's clear that she specially hired a professional to do her hair and makeup in order to meet her daughter-in-law, Situ Yuanyuan.
Upon seeing her son and daughter-in-law enter the private room, Chen's mother immediately smiled kindly.
"mom."
After calling out, Chen Congming took Situ Yuanyuan's hand and walked over.
Upon arriving in front of Mrs. Chen, Situ Yuanyuan handed over an exquisite gift box containing eight gold bars, saying, "Auntie, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is just a small token of my appreciation!"
"Yuanyuan, it's good that you're here, why did you bring a gift?" As she spoke, Chen's mother stood up and took Situ Yuanyuan's hand affectionately, letting her sit down in the seat next to her. "Please sit down. Take a look at the menu and order whatever you like."
"Auntie, I'm fine with anything. You're the elder, so please order."
After hearing Situ Yuanyuan's suggestion, Chen's mother didn't refuse anymore. However, she only ordered a few dishes, leaving the rest for Chen Congming to order.
Each dish was served on the table, and they were all dishes that Situ Yuanyuan liked.
During the meal, Chen's mother would occasionally serve food to Situ Yuanyuan and ask her with concern if she was tired from filming and if she had any requests for the wedding.
The atmosphere inside the private room was very harmonious, making Chen Congming seem superfluous. Anyone who didn't know better would probably think Situ Yuanyuan and Chen's mother were mother and daughter.
After the meal, the waiter removed the tableware and replaced it with tea.
Now, Mrs. Chen's expression became more serious and formal. She took out a very exquisite sandalwood jewelry box and a red envelope with the logo of the Dragon Bank from her bag.
The next second, they were placed in front of Situ Yuanyuan.
Situ Yuanyuan was taken aback when she saw this.
"Yuanyuan." Mrs. Chen's voice was gentle and solemn as she reached out and patted Situ Yuanyuan's hand lightly. "First of all, welcome to the Chen family as our daughter-in-law. It is a blessing for Congming to find such a good girl as you, and even more so for our entire Chen family."
She opened the jewelry box, revealing a pendant and a pair of earrings. Under the light, the exquisite jade radiated a warm, lustrous sheen.
Situ Yuanyuan knew at a glance that they were a set with the jade bracelet that Chen's mother had given her yesterday!
“Yuanyuan, although you and Congming have already registered your marriage, we still can’t skip the proper etiquette. You won’t be shortchanged on anything you’re entitled to.”
"The money in your card is the betrothal gift from our Chen family. It's not much, but..."
"..."
"........."
Chen's mother said a lot, and Situ Yuanyuan's nose tingled as she listened, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
She knew Ms. Chen was a very good person from the first time she met her yesterday. Now she feels even more how precious the respect and care Ms. Chen shows her is!
She could no longer bring herself to say "Mom" before.
"mom……"
Situ Yuanyuan choked up and took the initiative to change her address.
When Chen's mother heard Situ Yuanyuan call her "Mom," her smile blossomed like a flower.
She responded with an "Yes," and then said, "Good child, if any of my clever ones dare to bully you in the future, tell Mom, and Mom will teach them a lesson for you!"
Chen Congming awkwardly rubbed his forehead, "..."
Who is the biological child?
"Mom, other people forget their mothers after getting married, but you're different. You forget your son as soon as you have a daughter-in-law. Amazing, truly amazing!!!"
Chen's mother glared at Chen Congming, "You brat, is that all you've got? You're even jealous of your own wife, aren't you ashamed?"
