Li Zijuan woke up as soon as Xu Cheng walked away in the morning. She couldn't wait any longer, so she called Xu Zhiyi just after six o'clock.
However, Xu Zhiyi had a habit of turning off the phone before going to bed at night. She turned on the phone too early and she hadn't woken up yet.
She kept sending voice messages to Xu Zhiyi, like a machine gun firing. At seven o'clock, Xu Zhiyi finally sent her a WeChat video reply.
As soon as the video was released, Xu Zhiyi's nervous little face occupied the entire phone screen, and the first thing he said was: "Mom, something happened at home? Is it my grandma or my grandpa..."
She could hear Xu Zhiyi's vibrato.
Li Zijuan would not feel sorry for her, and said angrily: "Stop it, it's not your grandma, nor your grandpa, it's you, something big has happened to you!"
Xu Zhiyi arranged her messy hair with her hands, her face full of confusion, "Me? Nothing happened to me."
Li Zijuan hummed: "Humph, my precious daughter keeps saying that she and her dear mother are the best in the world, but in the end, she was proposed to by a man named Octavia, and she didn't even tell me, as a mother, I still found out about this from other people’s mouths.”
"Hey, what are you talking about? My daughter is my mother's caring little cotton-padded jacket. When my little cotton-padded jacket arrived in Hangcheng, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, it started to leak. This winter, your dear mother will freeze to death."
Xu Zhiyi's hands stiffening while arranging his hair froze, and his peach blossom eyes widened. After a while, he pulled up the corners of his mouth guiltily and said with a dry smile:
"Hehehehe, Your Excellency, I am wrong. Please spare my death first, and Rong Erchen will tell you the whole story in detail. I originally planned to report this matter to Your Majesty the Mother and the Emperor tonight. Reported."
Li Zijuan said angrily: "Speak quickly, explain every detail to me clearly, and don't allow any omissions."
Xu Zhiyi looked serious and bowed, "Yes, my dear mother, please let me go to the toilet first, solve the three urgent problems, and then drink some water to moisten your throat. I have a lot to say later."
Li Zijuan said angrily: "Go quickly! Be quick!"
Afterwards, the mother and daughter talked for almost two hours. During this period, Li Zijuan's mobile phone became overheated and crashed, so she switched to Xu Zhian's mobile phone.
Fortunately, Xu Zhiyi didn't go to bed early on Monday, so she had time.
Xu Zhiyi also told her that she and Octavia had not seen each other since last Wednesday after dinner.
He first went to Shanghai, then Beijing, and now he is in Paris. After that, he will go to several foreign cities to work on some energy investment projects. It is not yet certain when he will return.
However, he video chats with her every day.
Finally, Xu Zhiyi said shyly: "Mom, he, he is really clingy."
Li Zijuan looked at Xu Zhiyi and didn't even notice that the corners of her mouth were almost reaching her temples.
After telling Xu Cheng what she had asked about Xu Zhiyi, Li Zijuan was still hesitant and said:
"A-Cheng, do you think this is reliable? The girl said that Octavia will ask his parents to propose marriage. Is this true? Zhiyi, this girl, has never been in love. She is stupid, especially if others think she is beautiful. Just tease her a few words, tease her, and treat her like she really wants to marry her?"
"Marriage is not a trivial matter. For a wealthy family like the Ming family, one person does not have the final say in marrying a daughter-in-law. I am afraid that Mingrui himself has made things simple. He cannot make the decision on this marriage alone. What do you think? Yes or no?"
Xu Cheng had been listening to Li Zijuan quietly, swallowed the food in his mouth, avoided Li Zijuan's questions, and said, "Have you asked the girl, does she really mean that to Octavia?"
Li Zijuan: "Let's get it straight. She said she has a good impression of him. He is a hero who saves beautiful women. How can she not like him? Octavia also said in front of her that he also has a good impression of her and wants to marry her and have children. That good feeling.”
She seemed to suddenly remember something and became excited, "By the way, they even talked about who is in charge of the money. Octavia told our girl that after marriage, she will be in charge of both of their salaries, and I promise not to do anything like AA, AA, you know What do you mean, it’s just..."
Xu Cheng interrupted her with a smile, "Zijuan, you don't need to explain to me, I know."
Li Zijuan also smiled, with a proud look on her face, "That's right, my Cheng knows everything, but he is very powerful."
Xu Cheng and her looked at each other and smiled, with uncontrollable happiness in their eyes.
He stared at Li Zijuan, raised his hand to tidy up the broken hair on her forehead, and finally, his fingers stayed between her beautiful eyebrows, bit his lower lip, and chuckled, "Zijuan, go shopping for some nice clothes in the afternoon. In the evening, Come with me to meet Octavia’s parents, they are going to propose marriage to us tonight.”
Li Zijuan's eyes widened for a moment, and her mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg. After two or three seconds, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and stared at Xu Cheng, blinking but unable to speak.
Xu Cheng stroked her hair and smiled: "Look at how stupid you are. Zijuan, it's true. The Ming family is going to officially propose marriage. The matchmaker mentioned by Principal Feng of our school is the bureau organized by Director Chen of the Education Bureau. The location is Little Red Mansion.”
Li Zijuan kept covering her mouth and kept silent, giggling and giggling.
Xu Cheng let her go and laughed.
When she stopped, her eyes were bright and she said, "I'm just going to say, my daughter is so well-behaved and good-looking. If you follow me, she will definitely marry a good man."
Xu Cheng poured cold water on her, "Don't make this matter public. It's hard to say whether it will work or not. If it doesn't work, word will spread and people will laugh at us for trying to climb high."
Li Zijuan slammed the table down excitedly, "The elders of Ming Dynasty have come forward to propose a kiss, and the two children are also willing, so there is no reason why it can't happen."
Xu Cheng shook his head, "Zijuan, don't think so now, treat it with a normal attitude and listen to me, okay?"
Li Zijuan calmed down a bit and nodded, "Yes, I'll listen to Cheng."
Xu Cheng suddenly thought of something again and raised his eyebrows, "By the way, Zijuan, I have something else to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Zijuan," Xu Cheng suddenly choked. He suppressed his emotions and swallowed with difficulty, "The vice-principal's matter is decided today, and it's me."
Li Zijuan covered her mouth again, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Really! Acheng, is it true? Wuwuwu..."
Suddenly, she covered her mouth and started crying.
Xu Cheng immediately put down his chopsticks, stood up, walked to Li Zijuan, hugged her tightly in his arms, raised his head, blinked suddenly, holding back tears:
"Zijuan, it's true. Principal Feng submitted the recommendation form to the Education Bureau this afternoon. The Education Bureau will not block me. Later, the Organization Department will come to inspect. I, Xu Cheng, have been upright, sit upright, and magnanimous all my life. He is innocent and not afraid of inspection by his superiors."
Li Zijuan nestled in his arms, crying, "The world is finally right for my Acheng. My Acheng is so serious. If he only ends up sad in the end, then... it's done, it's done That’s fine, I just feel sorry for you..."
"Zijuan, actually..."
