Chapter 606 Your Great Son

Knowing that his mother and mother-in-law would meet for the very first time tomorrow, Yang Chen couldn鈥檛 help but feel uneasy about the whole thing. It even costed him a few hours of sleep but fortunately for him, he did not require it. Sleeping was merely a habit to him. It didn鈥檛 affect his energy levels.

The next morning, when Yang Chen came down for breakfast, Guo Xuehua was already seated with Lin Ruoxi and Zhenxiu at the dining table. He then proceeded to sit down quietly before starting to eat.

In the past, Yang Chen would take this opportunity to spout out all the nonsense he could muster. However since today was a particularly nerve-wrecking day, he felt rather constrained.

鈥淏rother Yang, why are you this quiet? You don鈥檛 usually behave this way,鈥?said Zhenxiu as she stared at him with curious eyes.

Lin Ruoxi was slowly eating her porridge like she always did. After Zhenxiu spoke, she looked at Yang Chen in contemplation but remained silent.

Yang Chen sensed danger, but pretended like there was none. Smiling, he answered, 鈥淚t鈥檚 not like I love to chat. Why must I talk then? Have your meal obediently and don鈥檛 ask so many questions. Aren鈥檛 you going to school later?鈥?/p>

Zhenxiu furrowed her elegant nose, dissatisfied with Yang Chen鈥檚 lecture. She gave a small frown and stopped thinking about it.

Lin Ruoxi stood up after only less than half her bowl of porridge. She said to Guo Xuehua, 鈥淢om, I still have a lot to do in the company, so I haven鈥檛 had the time to spend time with you. Why don鈥檛 we head out for dinner tonight? I know a decent seafood restaurant but haven鈥檛 had the chance to dine there.鈥?/p>

Guo Xuehua was stunned. Dinner? she thought. In the past, she would have been delighted at the request, but she had promised to meet Ma Guifang later. Guo Xuehua didn鈥檛 know how long the meeting was going to last, so she smiled and replied, 鈥淩uoxi, it鈥檚 fine if you鈥檙e busy. We could always go out anytime in the future. However, today I am meeting an old friend of mine which might take up the whole day.鈥?/p>

鈥淥h鈥︹€?Lin Ruoxi nodded her head and stopped asking.

The breakfast was rather dull. When Zhenxiu headed out for class and Lin Ruoxi for work, Yang Chen and Guo Xuehua finally let out a sigh of relief.

Helplessly, Guo Xuehua said, 鈥淚 really don鈥檛 know why I agreed to this in the first place. Ignoring the fact that I have no clue what to say later during the meeting, if Ruoxi finds out that I, as her mother-in-law, am helping you with other women, where then will I hide my old embarrassed face.鈥?/p>

Yang Chen smiled awkwardly. 鈥淢om, your face isn鈥檛 old at all. You鈥檙e still young and gorgeous.鈥?/p>

Guo Xuehua replied, 鈥淜id, who taught you how to sweet talk? It looks like you鈥檙e getting nervous already. Do you think I鈥檇 refuse to go after giving you my promise?鈥?/p>

Yang Chen indeed felt concerned. Having gotten Guo Xuehua鈥檚 confirmation once again, he became less worried.

After getting dressed in his smart casual attire, Yang Chen left home right after Guo Xuehua did. Since Wang Ma was at home, it would be rather suspicious if they left together.

On the other hand, Ma Guifang had long gone to Madam Xiang鈥檚 restaurant to work. She worked for two hours before Mo Qianni picked her up for the meeting.

During the journey, Ma Guifang asked Mo Qianni what her mother-in-law鈥檚 hobbies were, what interests she had, and what her family background was like. However, Mo Qianni couldn鈥檛 answer most of the questions out of sheer nervousness. Back then when she met Guo Xuehua, she showed up as Lin Ruoxi鈥檚 close friend, so she tried not talk to Guo Xuehua too much.

As a result, Ma Guifang blamed her daughter for not taking enough concern in Yang Chen鈥檚 parents. But it wasn鈥檛 her fault, she never had the chance to do so. When Guo Xuehua visited her home, she would mostly talk to Rose, while Mo Qianni would steer away from any conversation. She was afraid that her affair with Yang Chen would be exposed.

Ma Guifang didn鈥檛 own any luxury clothing, but she was dressed in a much nicer attire than she would normally wear. At the same time, since it was a working day for Mo Qianni, she was well-dressed and had makeup on.

When Mo Qianni arrived at Dragonwell Teahouse, she recognized Yang Chen鈥檚 car outside. She felt a lot more relieved as Guo Xuehua had indeed come.

The mother-daughter pair held hands and walked into the freshly decorated teahouse. Since the place contained many private rooms, Mo Qianni proceeded over to the counter and asked the server for the one booked by Yang Chen.

Guo Xuehua was careful in selecting the location. She knew that the mother of Yang Chen鈥檚 lover might get slightly rowdy should things go south. That would result in her being embarrassed, so she picked this restaurant which had a decent sound-proofing system. It was more likely for them to hear the people outside than the other way around.

Within the room, Guo Xuehua pondered about what she was going to say. Her son鈥檚 marriage wasn鈥檛 a topic that could be kept hidden for long. However, it is also difficult to assume that the other party would be so accepting of the news. Thus, she had to think of a way to indirectly persuade the mother into giving her daughter freedom.

If Guo Xuehua was from an ordinary family, she certainly wouldn鈥檛 agree to help Yang Chen. However, being in a major clan, polygamy was not an uncommon sight. While it was illegal for a man to have multiple wives, it didn鈥檛 stop the men from huge clans from doing so.

Even the premier of China, Ning Guangyao, had an illegitimate daughter who happened to be Guo Xuehua鈥檚 daughter-in-law, Lin Ruoxi. It wasn鈥檛 surprising for those men to be involved in such affairs.

As a result, with a mindset beyond the norm, Guo Xuehua was more open to ideas. At worst, she would utilize the status of the Yang clan to persuade the other party.

Guo Xuehua sipped on some fragrant tea while contemplating certain matters. When she drafted her speech in her mind, she quickly remembered that she was still clueless as to whom she was meeting later. Why hasn鈥檛 Yang Chen told me yet? He has been dodging the question ever since I brought it up, she thought.

Guo Xuehua hurriedly asked Yang Chen who was sitting beside, 鈥淪on, what鈥檚 the name of the girl? You can tell me now, can鈥檛 you? I鈥檓 going to need to know what I should call her.鈥?/p>

Yang Chen had intentionally concealed it from his mother, but he had to tell the truth now. Smiling awkwardly, he said, 鈥淎ctually, Mom, I believe you have met her before. She鈥檚 called Mo Qianni.鈥?/p>

鈥淢o鈥?Qianni?鈥?Guo Xuehua frowned as she found the name familiar. She then exclaimed, 鈥淲hat did you just say?! It鈥檚 Qianni?!鈥?/p>

Yang Chen rubbed his nose and nodded.

Guo Xuehua instantly understood a lot of things, which she found absurd yet laughable. 鈥淵ou鈥檙e such a terrible child. How dare you trick your own mother? No wonder you were unwilling to let me know her name. So that鈥檚 because she has been 鈥榣ying low鈥?around me!鈥?/p>

鈥淗ow is that a trick? What鈥檚 the difference between knowing it now or before?鈥?Yang Chen laughed. 鈥淵ou guys are meeting later anyway. And isn鈥檛 it great that you actually know each other?鈥?/p>

Guo Xuehua sighe helplessly, but a thought soon struck her mind. This is bad! she thought and stood up violently from the seat!

Yang Chen saw her reaction and asked curiously, 鈥淢om, what happened to you?鈥?/p>

鈥淭here鈥檚 a problem!鈥?Guo Xuehua said while she frowned painfully. 鈥淚f the girl is Qianni, that means her mother is鈥?is鈥︹€?/p>

No matter how powerful Yang Chen鈥檚 mind was, he couldn鈥檛 figure out what had made his mom so tense. He was wondering what trouble Guo Xuehua was facing.

Guo Xuehua silently hoped that she was just having a bad dream. When she chatted with Ma Guifang a few days ago, Ma Guifang mentioned that she had a great son-in-law. Wasn鈥檛 she then referring to Yang Chen?! Furthermore, Guo Xuehua told her that her son Yang Chen was married to Lin Ruoxi!

Everything was over even before it began! We don鈥檛 have to meet anymore. I don鈥檛 think any amount of persuasion will change her mind! she thought.

As Guo Xuehua panicked and felt an intense headache, the door of the room was opened from the outside.

Holding her daughter鈥檚 hand, Ma Guifang walked into the room smilingly, and immediately noticed Guo Xuehua who was standing in the room.

Guo Xuehua clenched her teeth while she furrowed her brows. She stared at Ma Guifang in agitation. She then darted a glance to Mo Qianni quietly.

Mo Qianni sensed that the atmosphere inside the room wasn鈥檛 right. She looked at Yang Chen who had stood up as well, but the latter shrugged his shoulders, implying cluelessness.

The person whose expression changed the quickest was Ma Guifang. She turned from feeling nervous to puzzled, before falling deep into thought. She looked at Yang Chen, then at Guo Xuehua again before she revealed an indescribable smile. She asked, 鈥淪ister Xuehua, so your son is Yang Chen?鈥?/p>
