Wang Cheng didn't expect Mother Zheng to be entertaining such thoughts.
When he arrived at the restaurant called Ronghui, he saw not only Mother Zheng, but also a father-daughter pair. It was the Tang Jiayan father and daughter. Tang Jiayan was the woman who had once misunderstood that Wang Cheng was leeching off a rich woman. Her father, Tang Lijie, had business dealings with the Zhou Group. When they were younger, he and Mother Zheng had also been classmates. Mother Zheng and Tang Lijie had kept in touch since Wang Cheng’s birthday party.
Mother Zheng didn't directly say it, but Wang Cheng already had an idea of what was happening. Mother Zheng was trying to matchmake.
Although Tang Jiayan had stayed abroad for a long time, she did not develop any bad habits because of it. Mother Zheng developed a good impression of her after they'd met a few times, and the idea of Tang Jiayan becoming her daughter-in-law soon came into being. It happened that Tang Lijie also had such intentions, so they hit it off right away, leading to this situation.
Tang Lijie would’ve actually preferred Zheng Jingen, but since Mother Zheng did not mention her eldest son, he was too embarrassed to bring it up. Once he gave it a second thought, Zhou Cheng was actually not bad. Inheriting the Zhou Group in the future could also help his company big-time.
"Chengcheng, we are over here!" Mother Zheng noticed Wang Cheng and immediately waved him over.
Wang Cheng reluctantly walked over. He found that his mother was very similar to his adoptive mother in arranging blind dates for him in advance without telling him a word of it. They were trying to match an incompatible couple. Fortunately, Chu Yifeng was by his side now and was clear on what he was doing. Otherwise, if he heard of the current situation, he might have misunderstood things.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me that Mister Tang and Miss Tang would be here, I thought it would just be me and you." Wang Cheng sat down on Mother Zheng’s right-hand side, whereas Tang Jiayan was a little further to the left.
Mother Zheng had wanted him to sit on the left-hand side. However, now that he’d sat down, she couldn’t make him stand up to change seats. She explained: "Your mother was so happy that she forgot to mention it, I’ll remember better next time. And don’t call him Mister Tang, this is Uncle Tang, he is your mother’s university classmate."
Next time?
Wang Cheng was not interested in calling Tang Lijie ‘Uncle Tang’. He was thinking that next time, he would definitely make some excuse not to come meet them, or no, hopefully there wouldn't be a next time.
