Chapter 145 Mother Guan wants to see Zhou Chen
Under the righteous and serious gaze of Guan's mother, Guan Juer finally chose to compromise. She could only admit that she had a boyfriend.
As soon as these words came out, Guan Juer's mother was immediately excited. What she wanted to see most was that her daughter found someone she loved and married him, so that Guan Juer would not have to work overtime so hard.
"Girl, it's not shameful for you to have a boyfriend, how can your mother object?
If I had known that you already had a target, why would I arrange a blind date for you today? Isn’t that a waste of time?
Tell mom what the other person does, how old he is, and what he does for a living. It's a rare opportunity for us to come here, so you might want to arrange a meeting for us."
Guan Juer was really speechless at this moment. Was her mother's expression changing too quickly? She had a serious expression just now, but now she seems a little servile.
Facing her mother's question, Guan Juer still opened her mouth and said, "His name is Zhou Chen, he is two years older than me. He also drives this car for me to and from get off work. He is my neighbor and lives across the street from me.
As for meeting up, let's do it next time. You guys came over so suddenly that I wasn't prepared at all. I'm at work right now, so how could I have time to come and greet you?"
After hearing what Guan Juer said, her mother's eyes lit up. She immediately continued tentatively, "The young man's name is Zhou Chen. He's also your neighbor. Neighbors are good. This way you can look after each other. In Shanghai, anyone who owns a car and a house is considered a young talent."
Guan Juer looked at her mother and rolled her eyes. She quickly retorted, "Are you trying to ask if he rents or buys his house? We're all family. If you have anything to say, you can just ask directly. Do you have to play tricks on me?"
Haha, Mrs. Guan was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that her daughter was getting smarter. She and Mr. Guan looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Is it wrong to care about you?
Ahem, Guan's mother did not answer Guan Juer's question, but pretended to say: "Originally, your father and I were planning to go back soon, but since you have a boyfriend, you have to meet him no matter what.
Your boyfriend doesn't have time, doesn't it? It doesn't matter. Your dad and I are both freeloaders. We can wait until he gets off work. You can't find an excuse to stop us from meeting, right? "
Guan Juer knew that her mother said this on purpose. In the final analysis, she was forcing her to meet Zhou Chen, so she acted like a spoiled child and said she would stay overnight.
Guan Juer didn't want her mother to stay because the 22nd floor would be too busy after get off work and her love triangle with Zhou Chenyingying might be exposed.
"Dad, you see Mom has learned to play tricks. I'd like you to meet her, but I need to ask Zhou Chen first to see if he can spare the time."
Mother Guan nodded. In her opinion, since her future mother-in-law had come, Zhou Chen should make time to come even if he was busy.
Guan Juer called Zhou Chen and told him that her mother wanted to see him, which Zhou Chen had already expected.
Guan Juer's parents don't have many opportunities to appear in the plot. Compared with the image of Guan Juer's father as a good man, her mother exudes the aura of a strong woman. It can be said that she has the final say at home and outside.
Today she is going to meet Zhou Chen as the mother-in-law. As you can imagine, this is not an easy hurdle to overcome.
"When I have time, I'll go ask the store manager for leave right now. Otherwise, you can take your uncle and aunt to Wutong Garden, where we had dinner last time, and book a table. I'll be there in a moment."
Zhou Chen's voice came from the phone. Guan Juer nodded with the external speaker on. She still reminded him, "Zhou Chen, don't worry. We just had tea and snacks. I'll take my parents home first.
Let's meet at the gate of Wutong Garden at 12 o'clock, so that we won't delay your work."
Haha, Guan Juer still cares about Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen cannot be so tactful. His mother-in-law is coming, so he has to entertain her well even if she has to take leave.
"Guan Guan, don't worry, our store manager is easy to talk to, and it's easy to ask for leave. It won't take up too much time. It's a rare opportunity for uncles and aunts to come over, so we must treat them well.
I'll take your time. Let's meet at the gate of Wutong Garden at 12 o'clock. It's dinner time then. I'll call and reserve a table. If you have time, take your uncle and aunt out for a walk. We'll see you later."
After hanging up the phone, seeing both of her parents listening attentively, Guan Juer really didn't know what to say.
"It's just a phone call, but you insist on asking me to play the audio out loud. Could it be that Zhou Chen is saying something bad about you?
You heard what I said just now. Zhou Chen will take a leave of absence to come here. We will meet at Wutong Garden at twelve o'clock. Then, will you accompany me home or go with me for a walk?"
Seeing Guan Juer's words full of complaints, Guan's mother said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so unfaithful? Your parents are doing this because they are afraid that you will be cheated.
You don't know anything when you first enter society, so of course we have to be careful with you. Sometimes you can discover a lot of problems from a person's speech and conversation.
As for Zhou Chen, we can only safely hand you over to him after we've thoroughly investigated him. This is our responsibility as parents, and you're the one complaining first."
"Anyway, I just think that what you did is wrong. Everyone has their own privacy, and eavesdropping on other people's phone calls is not a good thing."
Guan Juer was still arguing, and her father could only mediate: "Okay, you two should stop arguing. These are trivial matters and not worth arguing about.
As the saying goes, a man of integrity fears no slander. We haven't done anything excessive. Guan Guan, don't you have confidence in Zhou Chen?
There's still an hour and a half until dinner time, so let's go to your rental house and have your mother help you clean up."
Although Guan Juer was a little unhappy with her mother's behavior, she still drove towards the Ode to Joy community.
On the other side, Zhou Chen smiled and found the store manager and said, "Sister Huan, I want to ask for a leave."
The store manager looked at Zhou Chen's smiling face and asked, "From the looks of it, this seems like a good thing. Tell me about it and I'll consider approving it based on your reasons."
"Look at what you said, are you still going to make things difficult for me? What is the relationship between us?
Hey, it's okay to tell you, this matter today is related to my future life. My mother-in-law is coming to Shanghai, do you think I should try to curry favor with them?"
You don't want me to be unable to find a wife in the future, so my happiness for the rest of my life depends on your thoughts."
Zhou Chen's reason stunned the store manager for a moment. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, the store manager quickly waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go. Don't put all the responsibility on me. I can't decide your happiness for the rest of your life."
Zhou Chen chuckled twice, then made a love you gesture and slipped away. Zhou Chen was still very open to Sister Huan who had always taken care of him.
Seeing Zhou Chen leave, Sister Huan thought for a moment, took out her cell phone and made a call. Zhou Chen was about to meet his parents, so of course this news had to be made known to his family.
