It was also Shangqiu's first time dealing with someone like Tang Wei, and he felt a little reserved and embarrassed.
"We've always heard Shang Shang mention you, and now we finally get to see you in person." Liu Xiangru was outgoing and much more relaxed than her husband. She glanced at her husband and said, "Mr. Shang, what are you still standing there for? Go get your daughter's luggage!"
"Oh, yes! Look how confused I am!" Shangqiu immediately came over to take their luggage cart. Tang Wei quickly declined: "No, uncle, we are the younger generation, let us do it ourselves!"
"What juniors and elders? You must be tired after being on the plane for so long!" Liu Xiangru said.
Tang Wei has always been a very graceful person. Even if he is very tired, it is not reasonable for him to let his elders carry his luggage. Shang Shiyu knows his temper and is worried that he and his father will be in a stalemate, so he interrupted and said, "Dad, let's carry the luggage ourselves. You guys always treat me like a child. I am already in my twenties. I can do anything well."
Shangqiu glanced at his wife, and Liu Xiangru had no choice but to nod, "Okay, okay, okay, our daughter is grown up now, and it's a good thing that we don't have to worry about her anymore. Let the two young people take care of themselves."
Tang Wei smiled gratefully at Shang Shiyu. Shang Shiyu held Tang Wei's arm with one hand and his mother's with the other.
Shangqiu drove to the airport parking lot.
———
Shangqiu drove very steadily, driving slowly on the streets of Miancheng. Although Miancheng was not as prosperous as Youcheng, its development momentum had been getting better and better in recent years.
Tang Wei looked at the scenery outside the window, a little absent-minded.
"Mr. Tang..." Liu Xiangru, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly spoke.
Tang Wei came back to his senses, straightened his body, and responded with a faint smile, "You can just call me Xiao Tang, or call me 'Tang Wei' like Shang Shang."
"Okay, then I'll call you 'Xiao Tang'. Calling you 'Sir' or 'Sir' is really awkward."
Shang Shiyu leaned over to Tang Wei's ear and joked, "My mother never used to be so polite to others."
"Don't talk bad about your mother." Liu Xiangru glared at her daughter and turned to ask Tang Wei: "Who are the people in your family?"
"There is a grandfather, a father, and a twin brother."
"Oh! So what kind of job do you do now?"
"Mom..." Shang Shiyu said helplessly, "We haven't even entered the house yet, and you can't wait to check the household registration."
"You are too protective. My daughter didn't come back to see her parents for the Spring Festival, and I can't check her household registration?" Liu Xiangru snorted. Although she said so, she didn't really mean to blame her. She just turned to Tang Wei. Tang Wei didn't care at all. He just answered every question: "I have my own business."
"What kind of businesses are those?" Liu Xiangru continued to ask.
Although Shangqiu was concentrating on driving, he also listened with his ears open. A man must have a career to make people feel at ease. He doesn't require a very good career, as long as he can make a living.
"Didn't I work at a TV station before? The boss of that TV station was Tang Wei." Shang Shiyu answered for Tang Wei.
"A TV station?" Liu Xiangru was so shocked that her jaw dropped. Shangqiu almost lost his grip on the steering wheel.
"Yeah." Shang Shiyu looked at their reactions with amusement, exchanged glances with Tang Wei, and continued, "You know about the new film and television city in Yancheng, right? He also built it."
"..." Liu Xiangru couldn't help but look at Tang Wei more. This young man looked like he was only in his 20s, not even 30! Could this be the true meaning of 'young and promising'
Liu Xiangru turned back silently and didn't ask any more questions.
Shang Shiyu was amused, and leaned over to lie on the chair behind her, "Mom, you're not going to ask any more questions?"
"Didn't you tell me? Why am I asking?" Liu Xiangru raised her chin, coughed, and pretended to be calm and said, "It's good. It's better than your father and I thought."
"What I'm talking about is actually only part of his property!"
"Just a part of it?" Liu Xiangru even doubted its authenticity.
"He also has a film company. Don't you like chasing stars? Tang Wei can get you an autograph for your favorite boy band TFBOYS. A full set!"
"Really?" Liu Xiangru's eyes sparkled. She turned her head and looked at Tang Wei, who was in his forties or fifties, but his star-chasing expression was exactly the same as that of a young girl. "Is what Shang Shang said true?"
Tang Wei almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He nodded calmly: "Yes, if you want to meet with them, we can arrange it."
"Okay, okay! You promised me that. Next time I go to Jude City, you must help me make arrangements."
Shang Shiyu was amused. He took Tang Wei's arm and whispered in his ear, "Is my mother more childish than me?"
"This is cute." Tang Wei corrected her with a smile.
Liu Xiangru turned her head and angrily asked her daughter, "What bad things did you say about me again?"
"Absolutely not!" Shang Shiyu immediately changed his words and said, "I said you are young."
"You're not young at all, this is childish!" Shangqiu said, "You're already in your forties, old enough to be a grandmother, but you're still chasing stars like a teenager. People of our age can understand chasing stars, but it's inexplicable that you like three little kids."
"If I really had grandchildren, I would just be a grandmother and take care of Shang Shang's children. Why would I have the energy to chase after celebrities? But isn't Shang Shang still unmarried and childless?"
Shangqiu said: "Shangshang, do you understand what I mean? Your mother wants to be a grandmother!"
"Have you two planned to get married?" Liu Xiangru struck while the iron was hot and asked directly.
Tang Wei felt bitter and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
marry…
For him, it was a luxury to the extreme.
Shang Shiyu seemed to sense his embarrassment and quickly said, "Mom, you're urging us to get married before we even get married. What if this scares Tang Wei away?"
"So now that you've brought them all back, don't you have any plans to get married? I don't believe it."
"Of course. Right?" Shang Shiyu looked at Tang Wei, and then turned to his mother, "Tang Wei and I have already discussed it. We will get married in another year."
The time has been set, and Liu Xiangru and the Shangqiu couple also agreed to it, so they no longer dwell on this topic.
A group of people drove forward, chatting happily.
The carriage was always lively and harmonious. Tang Wei felt much happier as he was in it.
He would be happier if his illness had not recurred and his life had not already begun counting down.
Fortunately, at this moment, Shang Shang was finally sent to his parents. With such cheerful and kind parents, Shang Shang will definitely have a good life. When he left, he finally didn't have to worry too much about it...
