Chapter 229 A Test
Chu Yang was questioned by Zhiying's mother and was very angry.
She doesn't look like a shrew and is a civilized person, so why is she so aggressive? But she is the elder, and Chu Yang cannot be rude no matter what, even if others are rude!
Chu Yang actually had a question as well.
If Zhiying's mother really didn't want Chu Yang and her daughter to be with her, then today's meeting would be a bit redundant.
She was the one who asked him to come over, and he was working at the Aiguowang company. Chu Yang didn't believe that she didn't know anything about him, and this meeting might be more of an attempt to test him.
Thinking of this, Chu Yang decided not to respond to insults or fight back today, and try his best to appear calm.
"Auntie, I'm with Zhiying, and I don't need you to give me permission for anything."
Zhiying's mother stared at Chu Yang coldly: "Chu Yang, as long as you break up with Zhiying, I will not only let you go public, but also arrange a good position for you, which is no worse than your current position. This condition is enough, don't be too greedy."
This is really ridiculous. I didn't expect that the routine I read in novels more than ten years ago would actually happen to me. You might as well just write me a check and stun me with the money so that I can really give up Zhiying. Otherwise, how is it possible?
Chu Yang glanced at Zhiying, gave her a firm look, and said calmly: "Auntie, you don't have to insult me. To me, love is sacred and inviolable, and loving someone is unconditional. Career is career, and it is everything I have to bear as a man. I never confuse the two!"
These words were so powerful that they melted Zhiying's heart, and her mother was also a little moved.
Zhiying's mother has always believed that Chu Yang is looking for her daughter for promotion and salary increase, and is using her daughter, so she must strongly oppose this marriage. She was a little surprised to hear Chu Yang's answer.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Chu Yang continued, "Aunt, for me, it doesn't really matter what position I hold. I don't really care, but I am willing to work hard for Zhiying and let her live a good life. If I were alone, I would have laid down and given up long ago."
Zhiying's mother didn't show any expression, just an expression that said, "Keep making up stories." But Zhiying was so moved by Chu Yang's words that her nose was running.
"I gave you three years, and now the three years are up. Shouldn't you keep your promise and leave my daughter ? A man who can't get a job in a city company for three years and can't fulfill his promise, do you deserve Zhiying?"
Zhiying's mother continued to question.
Chu Yang knew he couldn't be impatient, so he adjusted his mentality and answered calmly, "Aunt, I knew from the beginning that you looked down on me. You said that it would take three years to become a listed company in order to make me give up. Frankly speaking, it's not difficult to become a listed company, but it's hard to make achievements. Otherwise, it's useless anywhere, and I still won't get your respect and recognition in the end. I might as well stay away from Zhiying, so that you won't push us too hard. Aunt, I think you have investigated me. I have worked hard to this point at my age, and I have worked my way up to the position of office director of the company step by step. I'm not particularly outstanding, but I think it's okay. I believe I can bring happiness to Zhiying, as long as you give me a chance."
Chu Yang was surprisingly calm, which really doubled Zhiying's mother's favor for Chu Yang. Today's meeting was still fruitful.
Zhiying stood aside, sobbing and tearful. She had never heard such affectionate words from Chu Yang before. As a girl with a love-brain, what could be better than her boyfriend saying to her, "I can try my best for you."
Chu Yang is quite good at handling girls, using all kinds of techniques, and if that doesn't work, he'll try to win over his mother-in-law as well.
Zhiying's mother looked at Li Zhiying impatiently and shouted, "Why are you crying? What's there to cry about? Go to your room."
Li Zhiying wiped away her tears and looked at Chu Yang aggrievedly. Chu Yang gave her a reassuring look, and she walked into the room reluctantly.
Zhiying's mother looked back at Chu Yang again, and this time her tone was a little softer: "Chu Yang, to be honest, I have investigated you and know that you are indeed quite good. You have done several great things and have a good reputation in the company. However, we only have one daughter and we want her to stay with us. I hope you can understand this."
This doesn’t work if you’re forceful, so start playing the emotional card.
"I understand. I can see that Zhiying respects you very much. Every time she talks to me about her mother, she looks very proud and says that her mother is the best and most beautiful mother in the world." Chu Yang planned to change the angle and use Zhiying to impress this old aunt.
Now that you've said this, I don't think you can do anything to me.
Zhiying's mother blushed a little, raised her head, and said with a calmer look, "My husband and I are busy with work. When Zhiying was young, she had to stay with her grandparents. When she grew up, she was studying away from home and we had no time to take care of her. She has never been close to us. Now that we have graduated and are finally together, she said that she really didn't want to come to the province because of you. I really don't want Zhiying to leave me. You are a college student and an intellectual. I hope you can understand the difficulties of being a parent."
Chu Yang understood what she meant and quickly said, "Auntie, if we are together in the future, I don't mind buying a big house and living with you."
Zhiying's mother didn't expect Chu Yang to be so shameless. She started to frown again and said seriously, "You are adults now, so you must consider practical issues. There are many things that you can't overcome just by working hard. You may think that your current results are good, but in my eyes, they are not worth mentioning at all. You and Zhiying have been dating for almost three years, and it's time to break up. Some love is suitable for dating, but not for marriage. You know what I mean."
It must be said that what Zhiying's mother said dealt Chu Yang a heavy blow.
Buzzing.
This is indeed what Chu Yang has been thinking about. Yes, what's the point of working hard, because the end of your efforts is just the starting point for others. Chu Yang was confused and began to retreat, lowering his head and keeping silent.
Zhiying's mother emphasized her tone and said, "Comrade Chu Yang, it's actually easy for you to find a girlfriend with your looks. If you really like Zhiying, you should make her happy. Don't drag her down. Cut the Gordian knot and break up with Zhiying."
Zhiying, who was hiding at the door, was extremely anxious. She wanted to rush out and tell her mother that she would not leave Chu Yang. She also wanted to hear Chu Yang's answer. If Chu Yang was really defeated by her mother, then this man... was he worthy of her love? Her mother had also told her this.
Chu Yang thought about it for a while, and his mind gradually became clear. He knew that this was all a test: "Auntie, you don't agree that Zhiying and I continue to date. I don't blame you because you are wholeheartedly for Zhiying. I can understand this. As a parent, who doesn't want their children to live a good life?"
"But Zhiying and I have a good relationship. Even if you, Auntie, strongly oppose it, I will not give up, unless Zhiying says that we should break up, then I might accept it. If not, I believe that with my efforts, we will definitely have a good future. Please believe this."
Zhiying's mother didn't give in easily. She said in a soft tone, "I believe you have a good future, but the gap between you two can't be made up by hard work. We are experienced people and we are very realistic. It's not easy to enter our Li family. If you insist on doing this, I will use necessary means. Don't blame me for being cruel."
Chu Yang had already made his attitude clear, and he knew that there was no point in continuing: "Auntie, no matter how much you say, it will be useless. I will prove with my actions that you are wrong. That's all for today. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Chu Yang turned around and walked out.
"Chu Yang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Just as he walked out of the community, Zhiying caught up with him. She hugged him tightly and cried with tears in her eyes.
"Zhiying, I'm fine." Chu Yang comforted her.
"Chu Yang, don't go. Stay here tonight. I'll accompany you and I won't go home. My mother is really too much. She said she wouldn't make things difficult for you, so I called you here. Who knew she..." Zhiying started to feel sad again.
"Zhiying, don't be like this. Your mother doesn't agree with us because she thinks I'm not worthy of her. I will try my best. Don't make her angry. You still have to go home tonight." Chu Yang replied, knowing that things were not that bad.
Zhiying raised her head and looked at Chu Yang with tenderness in her expression. She said resolutely, "Chu Yang, I am very happy about what you said just now. I know you feel wronged, but I will make it up to you. If my mother really bullies you, I will stand by you. If it doesn't work out, I will elope with you."
Chu Yang hugged Zhiying tightly and kissed her: "Okay, if your mother doesn't agree, I will take you wandering."
“Okay.” Zhiying hugged Chu Yang tightly, as if she wanted to merge herself into Chu Yang’s body.
Seeing that she refused to let go, Chu Yang half hugged and half dragged her to a nearby park. As soon as they sat down, Zhiying began to kiss Chu Yang madly, more proactive than ever before.
Chu Yang also responded actively, his hands were not idle, he kept clinging to her, not knowing whether it was because of the quarrel just now that the two of them were closer, or because of the open environment of the park, anyway, this clinging and lingering was particularly stimulating.
They kissed until both of their saliva ran dry before they were willing to let go.
It was getting dark, and Chu Yang patted her butt: "Be good, go back, I'm fine."
Zhiying leaned into Chu Yang's arms and whispered, "Hold me for a while longer."
After hugging her for a while, Chu Yang kissed her again: "Okay, it's time to go back and talk to your mother. Don't say anything so absolute. I believe she will change."
"You call me mom too?"
"Hehe, sooner or later, you can't run away."
Zhiying's mood improved immediately, and she hugged Chu Yang's neck again, saying, "Chu Yang, no matter what happens, I will never leave you."
"Me too."
The two kissed again.
On the other side, Zhiying's mother called Zhiying's father.
"Your daughter has grown up and run out to chase men. She doesn't even come back home." His tone was angry.
"Okay, you insisted on seeing her. It's rare for our daughter to have a good relationship with us, but you insisted on making a scene."
"Just wait for someone to sell your daughter."
"It's not that serious. I've seen this guy before. He's okay."
"It's useless. It looks good but is useless."
"Why is he useless? He is the office director now."
"It's not you and your daughter who did it. It's not his level."
"I didn't interfere much."
"I don't believe it."
"So what do you want to do?"
"Get him down, and I'll see if he can get up."
“That’s not necessary.”
"It is necessary..."
