By the time Lin Manla was sent home, it was already midnight when Tang Zhongkai returned home, but neither Ning Xiaowan nor Tang Xinqiang slept. They were sitting in the living room waiting for him to come in, as if they had notified Tang Zhongkai that day. The behavior was exactly the same when arranging a blind date for him.
Tang Zhongkai knew in his heart that they just wanted to find out whether it was possible for him and Zhong Yujing. In the past, he might have made it clear that he and Zhong Yujing had no fate, but now... he might have to follow the plan with Zhong Yujing and cover for each other.
As soon as she saw Tang Zhongkai enter the door, Ning Xiaowan chased him enthusiastically, fearing that he would escape accidentally. Ning Xiaowan clutched Tang Zhongkai's clothes tightly, "Tell me, how is your Uncle Zhong's daughter?"
"It's okay." Tang Zhongkai smiled, just like he always did when he finished. Only in this way will Ning Xiaowan not be overly suspicious.
Listening to these words, Ning Xiaowan was not angry. Instead, she felt that her son had paid a visit seriously this time, otherwise she might have received a blaming call from the woman before he got home.
"Then do you have hope?" Ning Xiaowan refused to give up.
Tang Zhongkai didn't say anything. It took him a long time to take off and change his coat and shoes. Then he held Ning Xiaowan's shoulders and pushed her back to the living room.
"Just watch it!" With such meaningless words, Tang Zhongkai quickly left the scene. Although Ning Xiaowan and Tang Xinqiang still had doubts on their faces, they only felt a little relieved in their hearts.
In fact, Zhong Yujing's family had already called before Tang Zhongkai came back. It seemed that the two had a good conversation during the dinner, and the two elders were very relieved about it.
"Look, I just said that Zhongkai is measured, right?" Ning Xiaowan looked at Tang Zhongkai who had disappeared at the top of the stairs with some pride, and suddenly said this to Tang Xinqiang.
Tang Xinqiang did not refute. After all, Tang Zhongkai was not as repulsive as before this time, and the Zhong family seemed to be quite satisfied with their son. Maybe he could really succeed this time.
Escaping the "rain of bullets" downstairs, Tang Zhongkai
He returned to his room as if fleeing, and then closed the door tightly. But when he thought of Lin Manla, who was as limp as water in his arms just now, his mouth was still a little dry, so he opened the window so that Get some fresh air and sober up.
Lin Manla turned back to her parents and felt a little incredible about what happened today. Not only was Qi Changfeng actually a good friend of Gu Yan, but also because Tang Zhongkai actually admitted to himself that he liked her
After washing up, Lin Manla tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep, so she had to take out her mobile phone to "harass" Gu Yan. But maybe it was because she also had a lot of housework, so Lin Manla waited until she fell asleep but did not wait for Gu Yan to come. reply.
In the days that followed, except when Tang Zhongkai or Lin Manla had other arrangements, Tang Zhongkai would always pick Lin Manla up and off work on time. Firstly, it is to declare one's ownership, and secondly, it is to prevent things like before from happening again.
It's just funny to say that Tang Zhongkai originally disdained the behavior of getting tired of being together after they were together. He even separated from his ex for this reason in the past, but now he likes to pester Lin Manla every day. Even after eating at her house, Tang Zhongkai couldn't bear to leave.
Lin Manla was angry and funny. Not only did she have to wait to cook for Tang Zhongkai every day, but she also coaxed Tang Zhongkai to go back early. Occasionally, Lin Manla would wonder if he was too easy to deceive. How could Tang Zhongkai deceive him with just a few words? But when she thought about Gu Yan being such a cautious person, wasn't it also... Hey, whatever happens in the future, just take it one step at a time.
On this day, because Tang Zhongkai was going to attend a cocktail party, he thought about asking Lin Manla to accompany him. However, he soon received a call from Zhong Yujing, which meant that she wanted to be Tang Zhongkai's female companion.
Tang Zhongkai was still a little angry at first. Didn't the two of them agree long ago that they were just pretending? What unreasonable demands is Zhong Yujing making to herself now? He had already told Lin Manla about the meeting, and also agreed to take her with him.
Fortunately, Lin Manla heard that tonight's cocktail party was attended by bigwigs from the business and political circles, so she felt more at ease that Zhong Yujing would go, and ordinary people like herself would go there.
By then, you won’t even know basic social etiquette, and you’ll be making people laugh in vain.
Therefore, Lin Manla did not show that he cared about this matter, and even told Tang Zhongkai that he was very lucky that Zhong Yujing would go to the reception for him. Tang Zhongkai was originally worried that Lin Manla would be sad, but now that he saw her like this, he left with peace of mind.
But as soon as Tang Zhongkai left, Lin Manla stopped the smile on his face.
Do you really think she is not sad at all? In fact, Ning Xiaowan had already visited Lin Manla's home before Tang Zhongkai came back to see her today.
Because it was the weekend, Lin Manla didn't clean up herself. She ordered a takeaway and sat in the living room to watch TV to kill time. At this time, the doorbell rang. Lin Manla only came for takeout, so she kicked off her slippers and went to open the door.
"Is this Lin Manla's home?" The visitor is a well-maintained and beautiful woman with good temperament. Logically speaking, Ning Xiaowan is about the same age as Lin Manla's mother, but she is obviously taller. You have to be much younger than your actual age.
Lin Manla was confused, "I am Lin Manla, who are you?"
"I am Zhongkai's mother, and my name is Ning Xiaowan." The beautiful woman smiled at Lin Manla, but there was not much warmth.
Lin Manla stayed where she was. She never thought that she would meet Tang Zhongkai's family under such circumstances. It seemed that the other party was not very friendly to her...
"We Zhongkai has a bit of an impetuous temper, so I've known for a long time that he used Yu Jing as an excuse to be with you, but I didn't take the initiative to expose him, just to save him some face, but tonight You'd better not attend the reception, I've arranged for Yu Jing to be his female companion."
"Why...why?" Lin Manla didn't understand. Could it be that Ning Xiaowan also looked down on her as a child from a poor family
Ning Xiaowan smiled softly, "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't look down on you. It's just that tonight's reception is related to Zhongkai's future. He will definitely take over from his father in the future, so there are many people standing around him. It has to be somewhat helpful to him.”
