Su Tong looked into my eyes and nodded seriously.
"Of course I'm not jealous. As long as you don't abandon me, I promise not to be jealous. I also promise not to let the Luo family know about our relationship."
Su Tong told me this last night. However, Su Tong was drunk at the time.
Hearing Su Tong repeat these words again, I was completely relieved.
After breakfast, I sent Su Tong to the company and drove her car directly to find the proprietress.
Since I had to meet the boss's parents at noon, the boss's wife specially told me last night to buy myself a set of decent clothes. But because of Su Tong's incident, I didn't have time to buy clothes last night.
The boss lady then asked me to wait for her at the pedestrian street at ten o'clock in the morning.
The boss lady and I met in the mall. Today, the boss lady was wearing a white sleeveless chiffon shirt and a fashionable printed A-line skirt. Her whole body exudes elegance.
When she saw me, the beautiful face of the landlady suddenly bloomed like a begonia.
The boss lady took me to the mall to choose a casual outfit of a T-shirt and cropped pants, and also chose a pair of sneakers for me. The total cost was more than 3,000.
I originally wanted to pay for it myself, but the landlady refused, so I had no choice but to let her.
After changing my clothes, I drove the boss's wife to his parents' house.
The community where the boss's parents live is located in the city center. It is an old community built twenty years ago. Most of the people living in this community are civil servants, and a few are university teachers.
The boss’s wife lives in a villa area at the back of the community.
I've been here several times before, but I've never been to the owner's house.
Although I was fully prepared, when I got to the door, I still couldn't control my nervousness.
The boss lady saw that my whole body was tense and she kissed me tenderly on my forehead.
"Don't be nervous. My mother is very easy-going, but my father is more rigid and keeps a straight face all day long. But the fact that he can take the initiative to invite you to come to our house for dinner this time shows that he already recognizes you in his heart."
Hearing what the landlady said made me even more nervous.
If I had been asked to come to her house to meet her parents when I thought there was no hope of marrying me, I would not be so nervous. But now I feel that it is really possible for me to be recognized by the boss's wife and parents, but I am even more nervous.
I naturally reached for the cigarette in my pocket. This is my habit. I touch cigarettes when I feel nervous.
The landlady quickly held my hand down and whispered in my ear: "My dad quit smoking recently. You'd better not smoke in my house."
Only then did I remember that the landlady had reminded me of this on the way here.
I quickly put down the cigarette.
Taking two deep breaths, I finally mustered up the courage to open the door.
The landlady whispered in my ear: "Just go back to your own home. No matter how my parents treat you, just keep smiling."
If they ask and you don't know the answer, just look at me. I will naturally find a way to help you resolve the embarrassment. "
Hearing what the boss lady said, I felt a little relieved.
As soon as I entered the yard with my things, the landlady immediately shouted into the room, "Mom, Chen Lin is here!"
A middle-aged woman in an apron walked out of the room. The woman looks about fifty, and looks very similar to the boss's wife. You can tell that they are mother and daughter at a glance.
The boss lady was busy reminding me.
"Xiao Chen, this is my mother."
I quickly said hello.
"Hello, aunt!"
Mother Luo smiled politely and let me into the house.
"Xiao Chen is here!"
"You sit down first, and I'll ask my old man to come out and greet you. I'm still stewing chicken in the kitchen over there."
As Luo's mother spoke, she shouted into the house, "Lao Luo, Xiao Chen is here, why don't you come out?"
Although Luo Mu seemed to be quite polite to me, I could feel that there was a bit of alienation in her tone.
Seeing that Luo Mu's attitude was a bit distant, a bad feeling arose in my heart.
I know that the landlady’s mother is a university professor, and she is very dignified and well-educated. A smart woman from the older generation like her will never show it directly even if she is dissatisfied with someone.
But her distant tone showed that she was not very satisfied with me, her daughter's new boyfriend.
I secretly reflected in my heart on what it was that I didn't do well that made the boss's mother dissatisfied with me.
But after much thought, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me.
The landlady also keenly sensed her mother's distant attitude toward me.
The landlady motioned for me to sit down first, then took her mother's arm and followed her into the kitchen.
As soon as the mother and daughter entered the kitchen, the landlady whispered: "Mom, didn't you promise me last night that as long as Xiao Chen doesn't do too much, you won't object to my dating him?"
Luo Mu's voice was very soft.
"I have no objection!"
The landlady snorted coquettishly.
"You have no objection, but your dissatisfaction is almost written on your face!"
Mother Luo looked back at me sitting in the living room, and then whispered to her daughter: "You can't blame me! Your Aunt Liu sent two photos of you and him yesterday. Look at his outfit. ."
Mother Luo said, took out her mobile phone and showed the photos to her daughter.
"I'm not dissing him for being poorly dressed and tasteless, but the matching of his clothes is really bad. This shows that his basic aesthetics is very poor. How can you be happy living with a person like him?"
The landlady immediately retorted.
"Mom, didn't you always say that one generation sees food and the other sees through it? Xiao Chen is from a rural area and doesn't know how to dress. Isn't that normal?
When did you, a great professor, become so tacky?
Didn't you always hate those lay people who "respect Luo Shang first and then respect others"? Why do you start judging people by their appearance?
Besides, isn’t Xiao Chen dressed well today? People didn’t know how to match before, so they still don’t know how to learn? "
Luo Mu patted the landlady on the butt.
"Okay, Mom can't beat you, a little talented girl. Mom, even if he passed the first level, it's okay!"
Luo's mother also knew that her daughter's marriage to Li Liangcai was not happy, and she still felt sorry for her daughter from the bottom of her heart. Mother Luo is also more tolerant of my new boyfriend.
The landlady was delighted.
"Thank you, Mom!"
The landlady said and kissed Mother Luo directly on the face.
In front of outsiders, the landlady is an intellectual, elegant and beautiful young woman. But in front of Luo Mu, she was just another child.
Luo's mother glared at her daughter.
"Okay! You think you are still a child! If Xiao Chen sees it, it's time to laugh at your naivety!"
The landlady raised her chin proudly.
"He won't dislike me!"
When Luo's mother heard this, she looked back at me in the living room, and then whispered: "Are you sure Xiao Chen will not dislike you? You are five years older than him!
Now you are only thirty years old, still young and beautiful. But when you wait for another twenty years, things will be different!
Women age faster than men. When you are fifty, you will be a little old lady. But their men age slowly, and he is five years younger than you, so you will not be a good match by then.
Are you sure that he will still dislike you when the time comes? "
