Although the engagement hadn't been finalized yet, it brought the Cheng family and the An family closer in an instant.
On Saturday night, Cheng's mother took the initiative to contact An's mother, and wanted to ask her to go shopping with her the next day.
Mother An naturally did not refuse.
In order to save face for her son, An's mother got up early in the morning and started tidying up. She carefully put on her makeup and combed her hair. Finally, she chose a dark blue dress and a coat.
If you compare her appearance a few months ago, wearing the most plain clothes, not using any skin care products on her face, slightly sallow, and her hair simply tied behind her head, it can be described as a world of difference.
However, if it is compared to a life that has been very delicate, not only taking care of yourself carefully, but also being helped by the wife of a big family, there is obviously a big gap between them.
But today, in order to take into account An Yan's situation, Cheng's mother simply put on light makeup and wore a simple and capable suit. Standing with An's mother, she looked very harmonious.
The two had never met face-to-face before, and the first time they met was for the engagement of their two children. It was actually a bit embarrassing to go shopping together under such circumstances.
But fortunately, the two are about the same age, and Cheng's mother has been deliberately accommodating An's mother, actively looking for suitable topics, and the two of them shop mostly in shops that most women are interested in, so the atmosphere is actually very harmonious.
After shopping all morning, both of them bought a lot of things. Seeing that it was almost time to eat, Cheng's mother offered to propose: "I know there is a good restaurant nearby, the taste is not bad, and the price is also very reasonable. Shall we try it?"
After a whole morning of getting along, An's mother could clearly feel that Cheng Yi's mother had been actively accommodating her feelings, which moved her heart and at the same time relaxed her a lot.
She was originally worried that with her own identity and knowledge, she might embarrass Yan Yan, but now it seems that she was really worrying too much.
But this is enough to show that the Cheng family attaches great importance to this marriage, otherwise they wouldn't even be so accommodating to her.
Thinking of this, Mother An nodded with a smile: "Okay."
The two entered a nice restaurant while chatting and laughing. In order not to make An's mother feel restrained, Cheng's mother did not make a reservation for a private room, but took An's mother to find a seat by the window in the hall and sat down.
This location is close to the corner, and there are no other guests around, so it's quite secluded, but it's not an independent space after all, and it won't look too closed. In addition, you can see the passers-by outside through the window, which is indeed a good choice for An's mother. .
But the premise is that no one deliberately came to find fault.
After the two sat down, Mother Cheng had just taken the menu from the waiter, and was about to discuss ordering with Mother An, when a man in a suit and leather shoes suddenly came over.
The man went straight to An's mother, half surprised, half pleasantly surprised: "Minmin, are you eating in this restaurant too? What a coincidence."
Before the man appeared, Mother An always had a smile on her face, but after hearing this voice, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and her complexion obviously became ugly.
She subconsciously glanced at Cheng's mother, and then said with a cold face: "Sorry, you admitted the wrong person."
Of course, Cheng's mother would not miss An's mother's look at her, but it was the other party's private matter after all, so he only turned his head slightly to pour himself a glass of water, and had no intention of intervening in it.
There was an obvious smile on the man's face, but when he heard this sentence, his face froze immediately: "Minmin, are you kidding me? We just met yesterday, how could you be so quick?" Just forget?"
An's mother never expected to see Li Zongyun in this situation. If she was alone, she would not be so panic-stricken, but now that Cheng Yi's mother is sitting opposite her, she doesn't want to affect Cheng Yi because of this man. What people think about themselves and their words.
So her first reaction was to pretend not to know Li Zongyun.
But obviously, Li Zongyun didn't intend to let her go easily.
The reason why Li Zongyun appeared here was obviously deliberate.
In order to please An's mother, get her forgiveness as soon as possible, and recognize An Yan as his son, Li Zongyun had already investigated their current residence.
Although there was already a failure and a very unpleasant experience yesterday, Li Zongyun did not give up. He waited near An's house early this morning, planning to create a chance encounter when An's mother was out.
Of course, it would be even better if we could meet An Yan during the encounter and communicate with him.
But the facts did not develop as he expected. An's mother did go out, but she was with another woman who was about her age.
Li Zongyun didn't recognize who this woman was at first, but he just considered that most people who can live in this environment are either rich or noble.
In order not to miss any opportunity, he immediately took a photo and sent it to Zhu Jian, and soon got an answer that surprised him.
This woman turned out to be Mrs. Cheng!
The Cheng family, that is the number one family of mechs, and it has produced several military marshals!
After being excited, Li Zongyun couldn't help being puzzled again.
How did An Min and Mrs. Cheng get together, and the two seem to have a good relationship
Of course, Li Zongyun couldn't figure out the answer to this question, but it didn't affect his next plan.
His original intention was just to show off his presence in front of An's mother, and to meet his son by the way, but now that he has such an unexpected harvest, why doesn't he seize it
Even when Zhu Jian replied to his message, he repeatedly told him not to miss this rare opportunity, and no matter what, he had to make a familiar face in front of Mrs. Cheng.
So in the next morning, Li Zongyun was always looking for the right time to appear in front of Mrs. Cheng.
In the end, he chose to appear when the two of them were eating.
Li Zongyun's calculation was very good. He thought that even if An's mother had some friendship with Mrs. Cheng, she must be the one to please and flatter her.
In order not to be rude in front of Mrs. Cheng, it was absolutely impossible for her to reject herself as before, and she did not even dare to directly mention the relationship with herself.
In this way, Li Zongyun can pretend to be acquainted with An's mother, and get the opportunity to have lunch with Mrs. Cheng.
In fact, it was impossible for An's mother to reveal her relationship with him in front of Cheng's mother, but it was absolutely impossible for her to allow this man to have lunch with them.
First, she was completely bored with this man, and really didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
Secondly, who knows if this man will say something that shouldn't be said during the meal
The only thing that makes An's mother difficult now is how to drive this man away without revealing the relationship between the two of them.
Mother An was very anxious for a while, and she was afraid that Mother Cheng would see the clue, so she didn't dare to delay any longer, and said in a more indifferent tone: "Sorry, you really misidentified the person, I don't know you at all, can you please leave now? "
Seeing An's mother insisting on insisting on this statement, Li Zongyun couldn't help but look a bit ugly. He still doesn't want to have a complete confrontation with An's mother, so naturally he won't do anything to reveal the relationship in person.
But he was not willing to miss such a rare opportunity, and left directly. He was thinking about how to hit An Min sideways to make her restrain her attitude, when Mrs. Cheng who was sitting across from her suddenly said, "Sir, since Mrs. An I have made it very clear that I don't know you, can you please leave immediately and don't interfere with our meal anymore?"
Cheng's mother's tone was not sharp, and she was even polite, but after learning the identity of the other party, Li Zongyun felt that he was several levels lower than others, and unconsciously lowered his posture to the minimum.
He replied in a flattering tone: "Madam, you misunderstood, Minmin and I actually..."
"I don't know you at all, please leave immediately!" An Mu's face was pale, and she almost shouted.
He absolutely did not allow Li Zongyun to reveal their relationship in front of Cheng Yi's mother.
Being interrupted to say something and being asked to leave immediately, Li Zongyun's face turned ugly in vain.
But before he could speak again, Cheng's mother had already stretched out her hand to call for the waiter: "Please take this gentleman who disturbed our meal out."
The waiter replied "Okay" respectfully, then turned to face Li Zongyun and said, "Sir, please don't disturb our guests' meals, is that okay?"
Even the waiter was called over, and Mrs. Cheng called over, even if Li Zongyun was half-dead from anger, he didn't dare to express his temper at this time.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your meal, I just..." Li Zongyun licked his face and wanted to explain, but in the middle of the sentence, he saw that Mrs. Cheng was showing displeasure, so he had to stop, "I'm leaving now, I hope Enjoy your meal."
After finishing speaking, Li Zongyun wanted to talk to Mother An again, but after thinking about it, he turned and left without saying anything.
After Li Zongyun left, Cheng's mother didn't say anything, she just talked with An's mother about what to order with a natural expression.
It's just that An's mother was very confused, and she didn't even think about what to eat for a while, so she ordered a few dishes randomly.
As Cheng's mother said before, the taste of this restaurant is really good, but An's mother's meal is like chewing wax, and she really can't taste the taste.
Although Cheng's mother didn't show any abnormality, she has been paying attention to An's mother's condition. Seeing that she looked worried, she put down her chopsticks when she didn't eat anything, and quickly put down her chopsticks without forcing her: "I'm done eating. "
Mother An forced a smile and said, "Me too."
Cheng's mother summoned the waiter and asked to pay the bill, but was stopped by An's mother: "Let me do it."
Mother An originally planned to treat guests, but Li Zongyun made such a fuss before, so it is even more impossible for her to ask Mother Cheng to pay for it.
Seeing her insistence, Cheng's mother didn't say much.
