Li Lanying thought, ‘What is there to be proud of?’, but when she realized that it was actually a good thing, she stopped herself.
On the other hand, she was worried about whether the boyfriend Xu Moyan found was a good person. She got increasingly worried thinking about it.
“His name is Wei Zilin. He’s 31 years old and he has his own PR company called Lin Yi. The Lin is from Yu Linling and Yi is from the word meaning. (T/N: Yi is from the word Yi Si which means meaning in Chinese.) You can look it up online. His company’s quite famous in its industry,” Xu Moyan said. She felt proud when she talked about Wei Zilin.
The benefit of having teachers as parents is that they are both cultured. They know that public relations is a serious business and is not a dodgy industry to be involved in.
“He has his own business? Such an achievement at such a young age. That’s very impressive.” Li Lanying nodded.
She was not picky about her future son in law as long as they were responsible and motivated. Their financial status should be at a respectable level as well so that Xu Moyan would not have to take care of him financially.
That was why Li Lanying approved of Tian Yuwen even though he did not have a job. He knew what he wanted in life and had a clear, concise goal. Plus, he was a decent person. Although he was only just starting out in life, he could still make something out of himself.
“His family is quite famous. His mother knows about my existence, but she has no comments about me. He wanted to visit you two before he then brings me to visit his grandfather and parents when we’re back in B City.” Xu Moyan continued. “However, I don’t have a picture of him.”
Xu Moyan could not show her parents the picture of him sleeping. Even though nothing happened between them that night, it might come off the wrong way to her parents.
Especially her father, he would not be happy seeing that. She did not want to ruin his image before he even got the chance to meet her parents.
Xu Moyan realized she did not have any normal, presentable pictures of Wei Zilin. She made a mental note to herself to take some decent pictures of him next time.
“Since he’s arriving this afternoon, you can see him in person.” Xu Moyan added.
Xu Qingrui and Li Lanying thought that it made sense, so they did not ask for a picture.
But Li Lanying was a little concerned. “You said he comes from a famous family, so do you think his family will have opinions about you? I know he wants to bring you to meet his parents, but you have to tell us the bad news, not just the good news. We’re a normal family, we never wished for you to marry someone who’s rich and famous. We’ll be happy having a modest life. I’m just worried that we can’t live up to their standards.”
To be honest, Xu Moyan was a little worried as well, but she could not tell her parents that in case they grew distasteful toward Wei Zilin.
Wei Zilin was already carrying the burden of his family on his shoulders so that she would not worry about him. She couldn’t let him feel pressure from her parents as well. It would not be fair to him.
She said, “Don’t worry. His family doesn’t care about this. As long as their son likes the girl, and she is a good person, then they will be satisfied. I met some of his friends. They come from the same family background as him, but they are nice people who aren’t arrogant at all. We can chat and talk about stuff like normal people. They are interesting people.”
Li Lanying looked slightly more at ease, so Xu Moyan said, “Some of his friends are married. Plus, his cousin married a girl from a normal family just like ours. She gets along fine with her in-laws. Family background is not that important to them.”
Li Lanying nodded. “That’s good. But you have to remember, you have to tell us if he wrongs you. Although we’re not rich, it’s not a necessity for our daughter to marry someone of a higher social status. The most important thing is that you’re happy. If they’re not happy with you, it will be emotionally draining for you. Even if you love him very much, it will be difficult. Marriage is not only about the two of you, it’s also about both your families too.”
If the in-laws are not satisfied and are always making things difficult for the wife, it would be difficult and tedious for the husband to always be stuck in the middle.
No relationship can withstand challenges like that.
Even if it was a little too early to talk about this, but as a mother, Li Lanying would definitely have more concerns.
Xu Moyan was sure that she wanted to marry Wei Zilin, and Wei Zilin was sure of it as well, that was why he wanted to bring her to meet his parents and even came all the way to Jin City.
But since Wei Zilin asked her to not worry, then she would not.
She believed that the things her mother worried about would not happen. Even if Wei Zilin’s family was not happy with her, he would surely take care of it.
He is a responsible man. Since he said it, he would definitely do it.
She believed him.
Wei Zilin would not let her worry like Li Lanying.
Wei Zilin was not there, but when Xu Moyan thought about his handsome face and gentle eyes, her face became gentle.
She said gently but with confidence, “Mom, don’t worry. It will not come to that. You don’t understand him now, but you will know more about him when he arrives later tonight. I am sure that you will not worry about me being with him after that.”
Li Lanying had nothing to say to that.
Even if Li Lanying was still worried about Xu Moyan, but she could not help but feel thrilled about the arrival of her future son in law.
Li Lanying went inside the kitchen to take a look since she could not sit still. There was a lot of food prepared. Initially, it had been meant for Tian Yu Wen when they decided to deceive Xu Moyan.
Still, she felt a little uneasy, so she returned to the living room and said to Xu Moyan, “Let’s go to the supermarket. What does Wei Zilin like to eat?”
Xu Moyan did not go easy on her, she listed out all the things that Wei Zilin did not like. “I think we still have a few of those things that he does not eat.”
Li Lanying nodded. It was indeed a lot. Fortunately, they had not gotten a lot of the food that Wei Zilin does not enjoy. However, yesterday, she did buy some things he does not eat, like mushrooms and okra.
Luckily, she did not buy celery since Xu Moyan does not like to eat celery as well.
“He’s such a picky eater. Okras are good for you.” Li Lanying stuck out her tongue. How can a grown man be such a picky eater?
“He doesn’t like okras because they’re sticky. He thinks they’re disgusting. He will only eat the outer layer. I usually wash away all the slime inside before cooking,” Xu Moyan explained.
Li Lanying made a disapproving sound. “The slime has a lot of nutrients. It’s good for the liver”
“That’s why I made him soup with herbs inside. He doesn’t mind the taste, to be honest, he quite likes it.” Xu Moyan was afraid that Li Lanying would think Wei Zilin was too picky, so she quickly added, “Although he’s a picky eater, I still make some of the food that he doesn’t like so he has a balanced diet. He’ll still eat them when I ask him to.”
Li Lanying felt that something was not quite right, but she could not put a finger on it, so she did not say anything.
Suddenly she finally knew what was wrong with the conversation.
“Could it be that you’re living with him?” From the way she spoke about him, it sounded like Xu Moyan and Wei Zilin were living together.
Before the voice recording job, they already had a tacit understanding. Xu Moyan was living with Wei Zilin at that time.
If Wei Zilin needed to work overtime, Xu Moyan would go over to practice. After that, she would just stay the night.
If Xu Moyan needed to work overtime, Wei Zilin would pick her up from her place, no questions asked. Wei Zilin would then instinctively bring her back to Wei Yang Garden.
Xu Moyan only moved back to Sheng Town after the voice recording was done and the raw files were submitted. The clothes and other daily items that were in Wei Yang Garden were never moved to Sheng Town.
It seemed like Wei Zilin had forgotten about it, so Xu Moyan did not mention it to him. It looked like Wei Zilin was planning on having her stay with him in the future.
But come to think of it, she had not been staying with Wei Zilin for the past few days. Even if they were staying together, the most they had done was kiss, nothing more. Even when they slept on the same bed, Wei Zilin did not do anything inappropriate.
Wei Zilin cared about her and Xu Moyan was touched.
That was why Xu Moyan instinctively hid this fact when Li Lanying asked about it and said, “Of course not. But since we’re together, we can’t always go out for meals. It’s not healthy. My culinary skills aren’t bad and he’s always busy, that’s why I’d rather cook for him, so he gets some homemade meals.”
During Xu Moyan’s high school times, her parents were very strict about her dating.
However, they were a bit more lenient after she graduated from high school.
Hence, Li Lanying smiled and patted her shoulder. “Why are so you nervous? You’re an adult now. I know what’s it like for young people to date nowadays. I trust you and you have to think that he’s worth it too. I won’t meddle with your relationship. As long as you know what you’re doing, I’m fine with it.”
Therefore, Xu Moyan dropped the topic and went back into the kitchen.
