Chapter 823: Blind Date (7)

Translator: Lordbluefire

When Zeng Keyi heard this surname, he hadn’t realized it yet.

He paused, “Chu? Chu Qianshu, your name sounds nice.”

Chu Qianshu,”...”

Well, since he didn’t ask, let’s not say anything.

The number of their dates increased, and they stuck together whenever they had the chance.

After three months, they both confirmed that they were the ones for each other, so they began planning to meet each other’s parents.

Mother Zeng was very happy about Chu Qianshu’s upcoming visit. In fact, from the beginning, she had no bias against this future daughter-in-law. As long as her son was happy, that was enough.

Father Zeng, on the other hand, was somewhat unhappy.

If his son could form a marriage alliance, their future business prospects would be better.

At this point, given the Zeng family’s situation, if they didn’t move forward, they might decline. Everyone in the company expected them to make money, but the economic situation was tough now, and earning money was becoming increasingly difficult.

Mother Zeng said, “Don’t have any opinions about your son’s girlfriend. It’s not good to show it on your face.”

Father Zeng coldly snorted, “So what if 1 have an opinion?”

Mother Zeng sighed, “Fine, fine. If you have an opinion, it’s okay. Anyway, I’ll be the one interacting with the daughter-in-law the most in the future, not you. As long as there’s no conflict between the daughter-in-law and me, there won’t be any major conflicts.”

Father Zeng still wasn’t pleased, “The people from the other branches of the family will come over today. Ask that girl to come early, teach her some rules... Don’t embarrass our son later!” n-)o/)v-/E--1.)b-(1.(n

This time, their visit was relatively formal, so people from the other branches of the Zeng family also came to join in the fun.

Father Zeng was from the main branch, and he had always held a high posture in front of the other branches. Now that his son was marrying a daughter-in-law from the poorest background among them, he felt somewhat frustrated.

Mother Zeng rolled her eyes, “Your son is right. If someone dares to look down on her, it means they’re looking down on your son. Even if they have opinions, they’ll keep them to themselves!”

Father Zeng snorted, “I just don’t understand why our son, when he clearly had better options, decided to choose this one...”

Mother Zeng countered, “Maybe the best options weren’t suitable for him.”

After Mother Zeng finished speaking, she entered the room and brought out some gifts, placing them on the living room table.

Father Zeng couldn’t help but comment, “What’s the use of marrying such a daughter-in-law? You have to worry about everything!”

Mother Zeng gave him a glance, “Can’t I worry for her? Besides, I’m not doing all this for Qianshu’s face. Everything I’m doing is for our son! You need to get your priorities straight!”

She said seriously, “You’ve seen the changes in our son over the past few months. As they say, getting married and building a career go hand in hand. Our son used to be irresponsible and lacked commitment, but these past few months, he’s been obediently working at the company. He’ll have no problem taking over your position in the future! And all of this is thanks to Qianshu!” “Moreover, Qianshu isn’t an ordinary person. She’s a prominent scientist! Her profession is respectable. Those playboy types may marry celebrities left and right, but our son is different.”

Mother Zeng continued, “Do you know where our son and Qianshu go for their dates every day?”

Father Zeng shook his head, “How would I know?”

Mother Zeng said, “The library! I heard Qianshu goes there to research scientific data, and our son, being bored there, started reading a lot of management-related books that Qianshu recommended. His major is in management, but you know how he was during university. If it weren’t for our family donating to build a library, he probably wouldn’t have graduated. But now, go take a look at his recent eloquence and behavior. Hasn’t there been a change?”

Father Zeng fell silent.

Mother Zeng smiled at him, “Do you know? I used to think that arranged marriages were about merging two families, but now I think it’s different.” Father Zeng frowned, “How is it different?”

Mother Zeng said earnestly, “Marriage brings two people together, and both can become better. I don’t know if Qianshu has improved in this marriage, but our son’s transformation is visible!”

“Once Qianshu becomes part of our family, she’s our family. Let me tell you, put away that sour face of yours. If you dare to mistreat our daughter-in-law, you’ll be the one moving out!”

Over this period of time, as Zeng Keyi’s transformation became more evident, Mother Zeng became increasingly delighted.

Seeing her say this, Father Zeng grumbled, “You and our son are siding with her. Am I still the head of this household?”

After mumbling a sentence, he couldn’t help but add, “And what do her parents do? Have you heard? If they were teachers, it might be acceptable... If they’re financially disadvantaged, their status can make up for it.”

Mother Zeng shook her head, “I don’t know yet. Well find out when they arrive.”
