Chapter 146 Mother-in-law meets son-in-law, Guan's mother is very satisfied
After returning to the Ode to Joy community, Guan's mother immediately walked to the door of Zhou Chen's house opposite the rental house and looked around, obviously wanting to see Zhou Chen's house.
After all, this is the foundation for gaining a foothold in Shanghai. With a house, everything else will be easy.
Unfortunately, apart from the locked door, she couldn't see anything useful. Who could blame Zhou Chen for not being at home?
Looking at the combination lock in front of her, Guan's mother knew that Guan Juer must have the combination, but there were some things she didn't say in the end. After all, Zhou Chen was not at home, and it would be very impolite to blindly enter someone else's house.
Guan Juer was speechless watching her mother's actions. Although I know you are doing this for my own good, there is no need for you to go straight to Zhou Chen's house as soon as you come back. It would seem like I'm lying.
"Don't look, Zhou Chen is not at home. If someone sees you sneaking around, they won't catch you as a thief.
How could I lie to you about the house? Don't you even have this little trust in me?"
"Pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about?
Of course I trust you, I just want to see how big his house is.
You don’t know that if you want to settle down in Shanghai in the future, you must have a house. This is the most basic condition.
Don't think your mother is so snobbish. I just don't want you to marry someone who can't even afford to buy a house. If you do that, you won't even have a place to live when you get married and have children. That would be very hard for you."
Guan's mother quickly refuted that she did this for Guan Juer. The society is no longer the same as before. There are many young people who have no cars, no houses and no savings and want to get married quickly. She doesn't want her daughter to do such a stupid thing.
"Don't worry, Zhou Chen's house is very big, bigger than the two of our rental houses. Your worries are a bit unnecessary. You can finally rest assured."
Although Guan Juer knew that her mother was doing this for her own good, which was a common problem among all mothers-in-law, she still felt that her mother was a bit snobbish.
What I like is Zhou Chen as a person, not his house. Judging from the way my mother looks at her son-in-law, I guess today's meal will not be delicious, which is a pressure on Zhou Chen.
Hearing that Zhou Chen's house was twice as big as the rental house, Guan's mother was immediately satisfied. She had a house and a car. As long as Zhou Chen was a good person, the marriage would be a done deal.
Haha, Guan Juer doesn’t know what her mother is thinking. It sounds like her parents want to marry her off early.
The time for the meeting soon came. Even though Zhou Chen had arrived early, Guan Juer and the others arrived even earlier, so they met directly in the parking lot.
Seeing Guan Juer waving at him, Zhou Chen walked towards them with the gifts he bought. Along the way, he could feel the look in Guan Juer's parents' eyes as they looked at him. It really felt like they were looking at their son-in-law.
Haha, Zhou Chen heard his mother-in-law's inner voice as she was nearby. It was not difficult to hear from her inner voice that she was very satisfied with Zhou Chen.
[The boy is very handsome and totally worthy of my Guan Guan. He gets full marks for appearance.]
[They even drove a Mercedes-Benz. Apparently, they have more than one car. Financial resources aren't a problem, so I guess they pass.]
"Hello, uncle and aunt, my name is Zhou Chen, and I'm Guan Guan's boyfriend. I didn't know what you like, so I bought two boxes of health supplements. I'll bring them back to try when I go back later."
When Zhou Chen came up to her, he immediately greeted her, which also woke up Guan's mother who was lost in thought.
Looking at Zhou Chen in front of her, Guan's mother said politely: "Oh, it should be us who are embarrassed. When we heard Guan Guan said she had a boyfriend, as parents we wanted to take a look.
We came straight here without even saying hello, forcing you to take time off to come and greet us. We really trouble you, and we were indeed a bit abrupt."
Haha, you can’t take people’s polite words seriously. You must be graceful at this time and not let others think you are impolite.
"It's not a big deal, Auntie. It's a good thing that you can come to Shanghai to see Guan Guan. If you come to Shanghai again, you can call me in advance and I will pick you up at the station.
Uncle, aunt, I think you are hungry too. I have booked a private room in Wutong Garden. Let's go there and eat and chat.
After saying that, Zhou Chen led the way in front. As they walked, he introduced the characteristics of this private restaurant, which mainly serves authentic local dishes.
Dad Guan said very little. The whole scene was filled with Mom Guan and Zhou Chen chatting. Dad Guan and Guan Juer were just two spectators, which made them feel very insignificant.
After entering the private room and ordering the dishes, the dinner officially began. Guan's mother immediately started to act up again. Now that she had met the person, she was very satisfied with Zhou Chen.
The next thing to do was to talk about the hardware facilities of the family, so she immediately signaled to Guan's father to act according to the plan.
Under the pressure of his daughter-in-law's gaze, Guan's father could only speak: "Zhou Chen, this name has a good meaning, especially Chen means morning light, representing vigorous vitality.
Of course, it also has the meaning of the sun, moon, stars, and the vast universe. I guess your parents are also cultured people. I wonder what they do?"
Ahem, Guan Juer coughed. She felt a little embarrassed. She knew you wanted to ask about Zhou Chen’s family situation, but there was no need to start by praising his name. Wouldn’t you feel awkward?
Zhou Chen also felt speechless, but in response to his father-in-law's question, he stood up and introduced himself frankly.
"Uncle, aunt, I know what you mean. As parents, we always worry that our children will be entrusted to the wrong people. Don't worry, I really like Guan Guan.
I am a straightforward person and don't like to beat around the bush. In order to let you know about me, let me introduce myself first.
My name is Zhou Chen, I’m 24 years old, from the capital, I have a bachelor’s degree, my family runs a small business, I have a house and two cars in Shanghai, and I have some money.
I work as a sales consultant at the New Perspective luxury store. My monthly salary is over 50,000 yuan, and if the commission is higher, it could be 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. I feel that my salary is enough to support my family.
Uncle and aunt, if you have anything else you want to know, you can ask me directly. I promise to answer everything I know."
After listening to Zhou Chen's introduction, Guan's mother laughed. She was satisfied with the house, car, and family conditions. She still had many questions to ask, but she didn't expect Zhou Chen to tell her everything so straightforwardly. This was beyond her expectations.
If I had known it would be so easy, I wouldn't have planned to ask questions with Guan's father at home. It was really a waste of time.
"That's great. Xiaochen can introduce himself so frankly. He has a good personality. He speaks directly without any tricks. Auntie is very satisfied.
Hey, sit down quickly, don't be nervous, Auntie doesn't eat people, let's eat the food and talk while we eat."
Mother Guan gestured for Zhou Chen to sit down, and then she praised him. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with Zhou Chen.
Only Guan Juer was speechless. Even her own mother could make mistakes. Although Zhou Chen was straightforward and said what he thought, if you said he had no ulterior motives, then you had really misjudged him.
But Guan Juer didn't expose it either, because she and Zhou Chen were on the same side.
The two of them became more and more excited as they chatted, completely ignoring Guan's father and Guan Juer. Zhou Chen directly fooled his mother-in-law into being very happy.
Guan's mother even asked when they would get married, but was interrupted by Guan Juer. If they had continued talking, I guess her mother would have been bribed by Zhou Chen.
