Chapter 152: The Whole Family is Mobilized!
Zhang Ziheng was stunned and didn't move, Bai Yujie smiled and said: "What's wrong? Are you excited to see me like this?"
"No, it's not... how did you get here?" Zhang Ziheng frowned and asked.
"This is what you asked, how can I not come?" Bai Yujie said as she walked into the house. As soon as she saw Zhang Ziheng's mother, she hurried over to greet her and smiled: "Auntie, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me at all? I would have gone to pick you up."
Zhang Ziheng's mother was slightly stunned, stood up and smiled: "Just arrived not a while ago, didn't Ziheng just pick me up? Yujie, it's been so long since we last met, you're getting prettier and prettier."
Bai Yujie smiled awkwardly and said, "Ah, I'm still the same. But Auntie, you're getting younger and younger, it's been a long time since we last met, and you're still taking good care of yourself."
"This child is just sweet-talking. Hehe, come on, sit down and chat." Zhang Ziheng's mom said happily.
Seeing them chatting so well, Wang Xue felt uncomfortable in her heart. Zhang Ziheng naturally understood her current feelings, walked over and sat beside her, gently patted her hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry, then said to Yu Jie: "How did you come again suddenly? Is there something?"
Bai Yujie smiled slightly and said, "I forgot when I left yesterday, but I remembered this morning, so I brought you two tickets to my concert." She handed the two tickets to Zhang Ziheng.
Zhang Ziheng took a look and said: "You'd better take it back, I've been quite busy with work lately, no time to go."
"The concert is scheduled for the weekend evening, so it won't interfere with your work. Auntie has also arrived, you can take her together then. Auntie, you must come at that time." Bai Yujie said with a smile.
Zhang Ziheng's mother took the ticket and looked at it, smiling and nodding her head. "This kid is getting more and more promising, much better than our own Zhang Ziheng." Alright, don't worry, Auntie will definitely go and cheer you on.
Bai Yu nodded obediently and continued, "Oh, right, because I didn't know you were coming today, so I left two tickets. If Wang Xue wants to go, she'll have to buy her own."
Wang Xue's face was smiling, but in her heart she scolded her repeatedly. This damn fox spirit, it's clear that you don't want me to go, even if there are tickets you'll say there aren't any, wanting Zi Heng to take his mother to watch your concert, you're thinking too much. "Hehe, no big deal, actually whether I go or not is fine, the most important thing is that Auntie is happy."
"Mom, what's the point of listening to a concert? Can you even understand it? You didn't even finish elementary school, and now you're trying to appreciate something so sophisticated." Zhang Ziheng said with some discontent.
"What's wrong with listening? It's just Yu Jie, if someone else asked me to listen I wouldn't go. Besides, it's a concert, anyone can listen as long as they have ears. If I don't understand it, what's the point of going, right Yu Jie?"
"Hehe, yeah. Right, Auntie, I've already sent the ticket over, you can just go then, I have something else to attend to, see you later." Bai Yujie said with a smile as she stood up.
"What's the hurry? Let's finish breakfast first and then go." Zhang Ziheng's mother said, trying to persuade him to stay.
"No, I have a lot of things to deal with for the concert, and I'm sneaking out now. I'll be very busy in the next few days, so I won't have time to accompany you. But don't worry, once the concert is over, I promise to spend some quality time with you in B city."
"No need, you're busy with work all day, where's the time? I'll accompany Auntie to play around." At this time, Wang Xue suddenly said, as if telling Bai Yujie that she was still there.
But Bai Yujie seemed to have not heard her words at all, smiling and saying to Zhang Ziheng's mother: "Okay, then it's settled. Auntie, you stay here, I'll leave first."
"Oh, okay, you've got a lot of time ahead of you. Come and keep Auntie company for a while, I've missed you."
"It's all right, Auntie, you can go back now, goodbye."
After sending off Bai Yujie, Zhang Ziheng's mother seemed to be in a much better mood and had already forgotten about scolding Zhang Ziheng earlier. However, some people were happy while others were worried, Wang Xue was forced to put on a strong smile due to Zhang Ziheng's mother being there, not daring to show any unhappiness.
After finishing breakfast, Wang Xue cleaned up the table. Zhang Ziheng pulled his mother aside and scolded her in a displeased tone: "Mom, how could you do this? Didn't you see Xue'er standing beside us just now? You were so enthusiastic when talking to Yujie, it's really hard for me, you know?"
"Mom knows, mom knows everything, and she can see it all too. Yu Jie wants to get back together with you, didn't you notice? No mistake, Xue Er is indeed a very good girl, mom can't find any fault in her, but you and Yu Jie used to..."
"It's all in the past, what's the point of bringing it up? You're just close to Yujie for a long time and have feelings for her, that's why you're like this."
"That's right, your mom has feelings for her. You've been dating in college for four years, do you know how envious others are every time you bring her home? Your mom's face is also shining with pride. And Yu Jie is a really good girl, look at her now, she can even hold her own concerts. She's talented and beautiful, what's not to match up with you? It's actually you who falls short compared to her." Zhang Ziheng's mom said with a frown.
Zhang Ziheng nodded and said, "I know, I'm not good enough for her, I don't deny that. But now I already have a girlfriend, and in all aspects, it's going well, you should also consider other people's feelings, right? Like what you just did, it made me feel so awkward."
Zhang Ziheng's mother thought about it and agreed, but she really liked Yu Jie too much and couldn't change her mind for the time being. If Wang Xue was slightly worse than Yu Jie, even if only by a little bit, she would have had reason to persuade Ziheng. But she really couldn't find any shortcomings, which made things a bit difficult.
"Mom, one has to be fair. This is my matter and can't always follow your preferences. It's not fair to Xue Er."
"Son, mom is asking you, honestly, do you still like Yujie or not? Don't lie to me."
Zhang Ziheng was slightly stunned and did not answer immediately. He still liked Yu Jie, that's for sure, but he didn't know if he should tell his mom the truth. As the saying goes, "no one knows a son better than his father", and mothers are the same. Zhang Ziheng's mom saw right through her son's thoughts. "Actually, you still like Yu Jie, don't you?"
"What's the use of liking her? Can I just dump Xue Er and get back together with her? Is that what people do?" Zhang Ziheng said.
Zhang Ziheng's mother nodded and said, "Alright, with your words, mom can rest assured. Anyway, you think it through yourself, this is a lifelong matter, choosing either one is your own choice, mom won't interfere." Zhang Ziheng heard this and smiled to himself, thinking "as if you could not interfere".
After a long train ride, Zhang Ziheng's mother was also tired and fell asleep on the bed. Zhang Ziheng came to the kitchen, saw Wang Xue wiping dishes, walked over and smiled: "My mom is old, sometimes she likes to talk nonsense, don't take it to heart."
Wang Xue bit her lip and said, "No, I'm fine."
Zhang Ziheng was too familiar with Wang Xue, and as soon as he saw her like this, he knew that she was deeply hurt inside. He walked up to her from behind, hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "Okay, don't hold on anymore, I know you're feeling bad, sorry about that. So listen to me, for the next two days, just take a break from work and accompany my mom wherever she wants to go. Do whatever she wants, take good care of her, and let her see that you're also very good. My mom is a soft-hearted person, and if you do this, she'll definitely be happy."
Wang Xue turned her head and looked at him, saying cutely: "Really? You're not allowed to lie to me."
"Hehe, silly girl, why would I cheat you? Don't be sad, my mom is just more emotional, that's why she can't let go of Yu Jie. The most important thing is, my mom hasn't seen your good side yet, as long as you behave well, I guarantee, my mom will definitely accept you." Zhang Zi Heng said and kissed Wang Xue once.
Wang Xue smiled happily and said: "Don't worry, I'll take care of your mom even better than my own. By the way, it's getting late, you should go to work."
"Oh dear, I would have forgotten if you hadn't reminded me. I'm going to be late, I'll leave first, you take care of things yourself." Zhang Ziheng said as he hastily grabbed his briefcase and left the house.
After sending Zhang Ziheng away, Wang Xue glanced at Zhang's mother who was still fast asleep and went back to the kitchen to call her mom.
After listening to her daughter's description, Chen Xue Rong was indeed surprised for a moment. "Xue Er, you did very well, tolerating everything is the right thing to do."
"Mom, what should I do next?" Wang Xue asked.
"Just listen to Zi Heng's words, it's right. Try your best to make her mother like you. Her mother is coming to B city this time, and you can take the opportunity to promote the relationship between you and her mother. Remember, in everything, just listen to her mother, don't worry about others, if there's not enough money, mom will give it, must let her mother have fun and eat well, got it?"
"Oh no, I can do all these things, but what if I do them and his mother still doesn't accept me? You didn't see what happened this morning, she treated Bai Yujie like her own daughter, she was even happier to see her than her own son." Wang Xue said worriedly.
"What? Is this really happening? This is getting a bit tricky. It seems that Bai Yujie holds quite a high position in her mother's eyes. Hmm, let me think about it."
"Oh no, mom, hurry up, I'm almost dying of anxiety."
"Don't worry, Xue Er, calm down. This way, you take Zi Heng and his mom out to play today, and when you're tired and want to go home, just give me a call, and I'll handle the rest," Chen Xue said.
"Mom, what are you going to do?"
"Alright, never mind, just listen to mom. That's it for now, mom has to go prepare." Chen Xue said and hung up the phone. Then she dialed another number, "Hello, is this Manager Chen? Can you help me prepare some top-grade bird's nest, the most expensive kind? I'll come pick it up in the afternoon, no problem right? Alright, that's all for now."
This time, in order to compete with Bai Yujie, Wang Xue even got her own mother involved, which shows her determination. There's no other way, for the sake of her own happiness, all methods must be used, who let the enemy be so formidable?
