"Come on, Xiao Cao, what kind of tea do you want to drink? I'll pour it for you."

Zeng's mother greeted Cao Xuan warmly and asked him to sit down as soon as he walked in. She also greeted him with tea and fruits. How could Cao Xuan let his mother-in-law pour him tea and hurriedly got up.

"Auntie, there's no need to do the work, I'll do it myself."

"Okay, Auntie, I won't be polite to you. The tea seems to be in the cupboard. You pour it yourself and I'll cut some fruit for you."

"Too polite."

Cao Xuan said a few words but did not stop his happy mother-in-law. He could only go to get a cup and tea leaves to make some tea by himself. His mother-in-law, who was holding the fruit, looked at him with a smile.

"I see you are quite skillful. You can find the tea leaves in no time. You come here often."

"Ahem..."

Cao Xuan almost choked to death at these words. He underestimated the mother-in-law.

Not only was his movement skills strange and unpredictable, he was even able to prevent him from being tested by the paparazzi. He was also smart and used various tricks to set traps for him and test the situation.

"Well, I've sent pears home a few times."

Cao Xuan was caught in front of his mother-in-law just now, and now the cliché was exposed again. Cao Xuan was confused for a moment. He didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only answer cautiously and leave a certain margin.

The two of them were fighting each other here. Zeng Lishi watched and took the initiative to relieve the siege.

"Mom, why are you keeping him? He has work at night, so let him go first."

"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. This is the first time Auntie has met her, so she has to leave him at home to have a meal. Don't you think so, Xiao Cao?"

Zeng's mother didn't answer her daughter's words at all, and the attack went straight to Cao Xuan. No matter how much Cao Xuan usually did, he was still beaten to death at this time.

"Yes, it's time to have a meal. I should arrange it for auntie to come to the capital. It's mainly because she is busy with work. Don't be offended, auntie."

"This kid said it, can aunt blame you?"

My great-mother smiled brightly: "Whatever you want to eat, aunt will cook it for you. Try her cooking. If you like it, you can come here often in the future."

"Auntie can do whatever she wants. I'm not picky about food."

Great mother was very satisfied with Cao Xuan's well-behaved and sensible attitude: "Auntie, pick what you are good at."

"No problem, let me help you get started."

"No, no, I prepared some just now. Just talk to Lizi and I'll do it myself. I'll be fine soon."

Zeng's mother stopped Cao Xuan and went to the kitchen. Zeng Li could no longer hold back the nervousness and panic of his boyfriend and his mother unexpectedly meeting him: "What should I do? How about you run away."

"Why are you running? What will your mother think of me if I run away?"

Cao Xuan patted Zeng Li's hand: "Don't panic, I'll take care of everything. You go to the kitchen to help, and listen to your mother's impression of me. I'll make a call to arrange something."

Zeng Li nodded and sneaked into the kitchen to help. Cao Xuan took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Zhang Chong, you are in urgent need. Go to the mall right away to do some shopping for me. Pick out the kind of things that middle-aged women in their fifties would like to buy. It's not my mother, it's my mother-in-law. I'll give you credit for buying the right one."

………

In the kitchen, Zeng's mother was cooking. She saw Zeng Li coming in and raised her eyebrows: "What are you doing here? Let Xiao Cao sit alone in the living room?"

"He asked me to come here because there are no elders to work, so the younger generation will be idle."

Zeng Lifu reached his heart and pretended to preach the imperial edict. After hearing this, Zeng's mother took a shovel to the kitchen door and saw Cao Xuan mopping the floor with a mop.

"Xiao Cao, what are you mopping? Sit down and take a rest."

"It's okay, it's okay to be idle."

Cao Xuan smiled honestly, and his mother nodded, turned back to the kitchen and said to her daughter, "This child is quite discerning."

Zeng Li wasn't sure whether this was a compliment or a derogation, so he asked tentatively: "Mom, what do you think of him?"

"Smart, well-spoken, looks quite mature, has a good career, and is considered a leader among his peers,"

Zeng Li's face lit up with joy, this was a very high evaluation, but Zeng's mother immediately added another sentence.

"However, this kind of man has big ideas and you can't control your quail personality. I'm a little worried that you will suffer."

Zeng Li was really confused this time. He really didn't understand Zeng's mother's true attitude.

Say you don't like Cao Xuan, the bright smile on his face doesn't look fake, and she caught the two of them making out, and Zeng's mother has a kind face. If she really doesn't like him, she won't fall out, but she won't either. Such a good face.

But if you like it, Zeng's mother's opinion of Cao Xuan is not particularly high, at least not in Zeng Li's opinion.

Looking at her confused daughter, the great-grandmother sighed and said with a bit of regret: "That's good, that's good. I really like him and wish he could be my son-in-law, but can our family keep this son-in-law?"

Zeng's mother still knew about Cao Xuan, especially after listening to her daughter's phone call before and specifically looking for someone to learn more about him in detail.

Putting aside everything else, what impressed Zeng's mother most deeply was Cao Xuan's career and philanthropy.

Although Zeng’s mother didn’t understand the concept of Asian King, she knew that Cao Xuan was very rich, very rich.

According to an entertainment newspaper estimate in December last year, Cao Xuan's various income and company operating income in 2001 totaled nearly 100 million. This is only a conservative estimate.

As a small leader in her work unit, Zeng's mother earns a monthly salary of more than 2,000 to just over 3,000, which is barely considered middle class in her hometown.

One million yuan is an unimaginable sum of money to her, let alone one hundred million yuan.

It was only one year's income, and the newspapers didn't dare to calculate the total assets. They just said that it would be doubled several times.

After Zeng Li's father divorced, he went abroad to work and was considered a successful businessman. It is said that his total assets were several million US dollars. Zeng's mother always thought that her ex-husband was rich enough, but compared with this "son-in-law", he was not even close. .

Such a young and wealthy billionaire, my great-mother, who has been in society for a long time, knows how popular he is, and the little girls are afraid that they will pounce on him in groups.

The great-grandmother was confident that her daughter was very beautiful, but in the final analysis, she was just a well-known actor and a future teacher, and she was not from the right family. She doubted that their relationship would last long.

What's even more deadly is Cao Xuan's scumbag character.

This persona helped him confuse the public and the public, and also brought him great exposure. It made it easier for him to have two different sides, and also reduced the risk of overturning. It can be said that there are many benefits.

But now comes the disadvantage. At least once True Lover's parents see so many scandals about him, it will be difficult for their impression of him to be based on evaluations such as professionalism, integrity, and duty.

Although Zeng Li helped explain for a long time, saying that it was all hype, and even provided some evidence to indicate that Cao Xuan would report every situation, Zeng's mother could not help but murmur in her heart.

So now the threshold in Zeng's mother's heart is not that Cao Xuan is not good, but that Cao Xuan is too good and Zeng's mother feels that her daughter can't handle him.

It is better to persuade your daughter to break up as soon as possible. She is somewhat reluctant to let go of this good son-in-law. After all, such outstanding boys are really rare. It would be really hard to miss him.

But let's not break up, because she is afraid that her daughter will fall into too deep a trap and be harmed in the future if Cao Xuan scumbags her.

Therefore, Zeng's mother has been in a state of hesitation and entanglement. When facing Cao Xuan, she has the mother-in-law's love for her son-in-law, but she also has some scrutiny and testing to see if he is sincere to her daughter.

Zeng's mother revealed her thoughts to Zeng Li. Her original intention was to take her daughter with her to jointly inspect the new son-in-law.

But Zeng's mother overlooked one point. This trick works well against outsiders, and the mother and daughter must work together. But when facing the person her daughter is dating, her daughter is likely to turn her elbows outward.

Especially when Zeng Li is obsessed with Cao Xuan and expects her to help deal with Cao Xuan, he will sell you out first.

Sure enough, Zeng's mother was making plans. Zeng Li used the excuse to go to the bathroom and exposed her mother's thoughts to Cao Xuan when she went out.

Cao Xuan immediately felt confident.

As long as the pulse can be detected accurately, then the right medicine can be prescribed. If the mother-in-law is not worried, just let her rest assured.

Cao Xuan doesn't know exactly how to do it yet, but if he knows the direction, he can stabilize Zeng's mother, or at least not object.

………

Zeng's mother had prepared the meal, and Cao Xuan helped with the dishes. The doorbell rang, and Zeng's mother opened the door. She remembered that Cao Xuan was still at home, and watched carefully through the peephole.

"Who?"

"Hello, Mr. Cao asked us to come here."

When Cao Xuan heard the commotion, he hurried out and opened the door. Zhang Chong and Zhu Jiang and several confidants carried large and small bags of things home.

"Auntie, this is the first time I see you. I came here in a hurry, so I asked someone to bring something over. Don't be picky. If you don't like what you talk to, I'll exchange it with you."

"It's too much trouble, kid. Why did you buy so many things?"

Zeng's mother couldn't stop smiling as she kept mumbling. It wasn't because she was greedy for things. The key was that she felt Cao Xuan valued her and was satisfied.

After delivering the things, Zhang Chong and the others ignored Zeng's mother's pleas, and Cao Xuan and the others ate.

Cao Xuan praised Zeng's mother for her superb craftsmanship. Although Zeng's mother was happy, she was not completely fooled and asked tentatively about Cao Xuan's family situation.

"I am an only child. My parents live with me in the capital, but sometimes I go back to my hometown. Many relatives are there, so I have to go back often."

Cao Xuan had nothing to hide, but he still made a point of returning to his hometown often. Zeng's mother nodded and turned to talk about the New Year rituals.

When Cao Xuan came home, he met his parents, so Zeng Li should also pay him a visit.

"Auntie, don't tell me, I have the same plan. I told Lizi a few days ago that I would go see my family. However, I was too busy here before the new year. It may be after the new year."

Cao Xuan was very happy. No matter what kind of request Zeng's mother made, he would always meet it. Even if she wanted to meet Cao Xuan's parents, Cao Xuan would find a way to arrange it.

Regardless of the difficulty, set your attitude first.

What Zeng's mother saw was his attitude. Meeting his parents was of great significance to a pair of young lovers. Zeng Li was relieved to be brought to meet them by Cao Xuan.

As for Zeng's mother herself, she was not ready to meet her in-laws yet, and she always felt that she was catching up by meeting his parents just after meeting Cao Xuan.

In addition, she also had selfish motives. She felt that her weight was not enough, and she was afraid that Cao Xuan's family would look down on Zeng Li, so she planned to call her great-father back from the United States if she met her in-laws.

Perhaps my great-father was a small boss in front of Cao Xuan, but he could barely handle it.

Although the two young men Cao Xuan and Zeng Li may not care about this, even Cao Xuan's parents don't care.

But Zeng's mother was a little sensitive about this aspect and wanted to earn as much face for Zeng Li as possible.

Cao Xuan could vaguely feel what his great-mother was thinking, so he praised Zeng Li harder, praising Zeng Li like a god, as if she and Zeng Li were in love because he had accumulated eight generations of blessings.

The words were so disgusting that Zeng Li blushed and pinched his thigh secretly, but Cao Xuan didn't care, as long as Zeng's mother was happy.

And Zeng's mother was indeed very happy. She knew how much her daughter weighed, so she was worried and entangled.

The more Cao Xuan expresses his love for Zeng Li, the better the relationship between the two will be, and the more she can dispel her worries.

Back then, on the set of "Water Margin", Cao Xuan and Mrs. Li Mingqi got along like their own mothers. On the set of "Young Bao Qingtian", they were also very popular with Zheng Peipei and could be called friends of middle-aged and elderly women.

There has been no success in the past two years. It's just that Cao Xuan's status has become higher and he can put on some airs when facing outsiders. Unlike before, he could pretend to be honest and cute.

But Cao Xuan's ability to coax the old lady has not been lost. Usually only Sun Lan and his grandma, as well as the seniors who Cao Xuan occasionally visits, can enjoy it. Now he has a mother-in-law.

Cao Xuan lowered his body and the Friends of Elderly Women came online again. He felt his great-mother's pulse again and could prescribe the right medicine. In addition, the mother-in-law became more and more happy as she looked at her son-in-law.

After the meal, my great-mother's impression of him changed greatly, and she began to sincerely consider him as her son-in-law.

Before Cao Xuan left, he stuffed the food he had prepared at home into his arms, delivered it to him downstairs himself, and repeatedly asked him to come and play at home often.

Zeng Li was dumbfounded and admired so much that he wanted to take Cao Xuan as his teacher so that he could imitate Cao Xuan's parents later.

However, Cao Xuan knew very well in his heart that his mother-in-law was treating him well for the sake of her daughter Zeng Li, and she hoped that he would treat Zeng Li better.

What a pity for the hearts of parents in the world.

Cao Xuan sighed, but also felt a little guilty, and a little bit scared.

If the secret is revealed in the future, the mother-in-law will be driven by love and hate, so she won't poison him directly...
