Chapter 42: Summons of the Three Laws

  "Alright, since you said the conditions are too high, I'll lower them a bit as you wish. If he can become a manager at Fenghua within two years, then I agree to let you two be together! The requirements can't be any lower than that, and you wouldn't want to get married without your parents' blessings, would you?" Jiang Youlan stroked her daughter's back, clearly threatening her, yet still exuding kindness.

  Seeing his daughter silent, even Zhou Xue Ru admired his wife. Indeed, she was formidable. Fenghua Group was a well-known company in Donghai, and it was difficult to become a department manager, let alone an ex-convict. Even a top student from a prestigious university would find it extremely challenging to achieve this within two years. If his daughter agreed, she would at most waste another two years of her time, or maybe not even that long. After all, she was still young and there was no rush.

  As expected, Zhou Wenwen thought for a long time before nodding and saying: "Alright, I can agree to this condition!"

  It seems that being stubborn and going against the family is not a solution, and she doesn't want to have a falling out with them either. Since they've given her two years, at least she can still discuss things with Mu Yan, and she believes there will be a way.

  "Alright, I promise you!" Zhou Wenwen gritted her teeth in agreement.

  Seeing his daughter agree, Jiang Youlan took a special look at her husband, and her husband showed a knowing smile.

  Jiang Youlan followed and held onto her daughter, saying: "Alright, since you agree, let's make a deal."

  "Firstly, you cannot have a substantial relationship with that Mu Yan guy within the next two years. If you're thinking of turning uncooked rice into cooked rice, not only your dad but also I as your mom won't agree to it. You should know your dad's temper yourself, and it will only create conflicts at home. You don't want to become estranged from your family, do you?"

  "Mom, don't worry, I won't!" Zhou Wenwen knew that her mom was telling the truth, so she nodded in agreement.

  Jiang Youlan knew that since her daughter had promised, she would definitely not go back on her word, so she was also at ease.

  "Secondly, whether it's buying a three-bedroom house or becoming a manager, as long as one of them is achieved, I'll agree to your relationship. However, before that, we won't acknowledge him as your boyfriend. If you two have any interactions, you must inform us in advance. I won't stop you from meeting, but you can't be together every day. You can only see him once a week at most! And you're not allowed to go out with him at night!" Jiang Youlan continued.

  "Mom! How can this be!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenwen didn't respond again.

  Jiang Youlan's face sank as she said, "You're not even working hard enough, and you're still thinking about him all day. Can you amount to anything? At most, I can allow you to have dinner together, but you must be back home by 8 o'clock tonight!"

  "Alright!" Zhou Wenwen thought for a moment and agreed.

  Seeing her daughter agree to the first two conditions, Jiang Youlan smiled and said: "The third condition is that if Dad and Mom introduce you to a boyfriend, you can't refuse!"

  "What? That's not okay, I can agree to other conditions, but I've already been with Mu Yan and won't be dating any more boyfriends!" Zhou Wenwen said firmly.

  Jiang Youlan shook her head and said, "First of all, he must meet those two conditions before I acknowledge him as your boyfriend. So before that, you don't have a boyfriend. Mom is doing this for your own good. I know you're in school and don't get to interact with many people, so when you see a boy who looks okay, you get excited. But the truth is, there are still many excellent boys out there. You can try dating them, and if you don't like them, you can reject them. In this regard, Mom will absolutely not force you!"

  "Mom, I've already got no room in my heart for anyone else, what's the point of doing this?" Zhou Wenwen shook her head and said.

  Jiang Youlan smiled and said: "Since you believe that there is only him in your heart, then others will definitely not be able to move you either. What do you have to worry about?"

  "I'm afraid he'll misunderstand!" Zhou Wenwen said with a reason.

  "If he misunderstands you just because you had a meal with some man or met him, it means there is no trust between you two. Without trust, there is no true love. Don't you want to test him?" said Jiang Youlan.

  Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenwen suddenly recalled how she and Mu Yan became a couple. At that time, Mu Yan had just seen Feng Yuting and was at his most vulnerable moment, while she happened to be by his side. Would he have simply regarded her as a substitute and a tool to soothe his wounded heart, without truly loving her?

  Thinking of this, Zhou Wenwen couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart. Although she subconsciously felt that Mu Yan was not such a person, her heart was still uneasy. After thinking about it, she nodded slightly, which was equivalent to agreeing to the last condition.

  After agreeing, Zhou Wenwen had some regrets in her heart and decided to turn back and tell Mu Yan about it, telling him that she was forced to do so to cope with her parents, believing that he would understand. Thinking of this, Zhou Wenwen's heart also felt much more at ease.

  After his daughter left, Zhou Xue Ru sat down beside his wife with a smile and wrapped his arms around her waist: "Wife, you're still the one with the plan. If we introduce two more good ones, I believe after Wenwen sees them, she'll give up on that Mu Yan guy. To be honest, our department's Director Jiang's son is also at No. 7 Middle School and seems to have a thing for Wenwen."

  "Oh! There's such a thing? The one who just called you should be from your department, right?" Jiang Youlan asked.

  "Yes, it was him who revealed the matter!" Zhou Xueru said.

  Upon hearing this, Jiang Youlan fell into deep thought. After a while, she said: "From what you've said, it seems that Young Master Jiang really has feelings for Wenwen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately told us about the situation. He's trying to get us to take action and drive away the person by Wenwen's side. That young master does have some thoughts in his mind. Let's observe him carefully, if he truly has a single-minded devotion to Wenwen, we can consider matchmaking for them."

  "I meant that too? If Wenwen succeeds with his help from Director Jiang, I can also move up the ranks!" Zhou Xueru laughed.

  Jiang Youlan glared at her husband and said, "Don't even think about using Wenwen as a bargaining chip, I won't let Wenwen be your stepping stone for promotion!"

  "Hey wife, do you think I'm that kind of person? If I were that kind of person, would you have fallen for me in the first place? My point is, if our daughter can marry well and also help me out, isn't that a win-win situation?" Zhou Xueru said with a smile.

  "This is almost tolerable, but our daughter has never been so defiant towards us. It seems that this Mu Yan person holds a lot of weight in her heart. You shouldn't think things are too simple either. I'll think of a way to thoroughly separate the two of them later, and it won't excessively hurt our daughter!" Jiang Youlan said thoughtfully.

  "Alright, wife you're the smartest! I'll listen to you on this matter!" Zhou Xueru smiled and agreed.
