Chapter 282 Zhuang Liu’s Mother
Fortunately, it was the weekend tomorrow, so she could rest after running so much. Otherwise, her body would be crippled.
After Zhuang Liu knew that Tan Rou had donated the money, he was very worried that Tan Rou would not have money left. So, he wanted to introduce more businesses to her. Zhuang Liu did not trust the business partners that he knew but if he did not introduce any new businesses to Tan Rou, how would she be able to earn any money? After thinking about it, he thought of his own mother.
“Okay, it’s settled then. I’ll pick you up at the airport tomorrow morning.” Zhuang Liu made a call with a gentle attitude. “I know, I know. I’ll push away all of my meetings. I promise to pick you up personally.”
Zhuang Liu hung up the phone and massaged the space between his eyebrows. If it wasn’t for Tan Rou, he wouldn’t have called his mother. His mother and grandmother had been urging him to get married recently and it was getting annoying.
Xiao Mo, his assistant, lit the incense for him. These were the latest ones that Tan Rou had prepared for him. After lighting it, he felt light and could relieve fatigue at work. Zhuang Liu liked it very much.

“Third Young Master, you have made a huge sacrifice for Miss Tan Rou. You even invited Ma’am.” Xiao Mo said with admiration.
“I didn’t do it all for Xiao Rou.” Zhuang Liu said, “It’s also for my mother. She has just hit her menopause and has a bad temper recently. Plus, she often suffers from insomnia at night. As her son, I just thought of helping her.”
“But, once Madam gets here, you won’t be able to see Miss Tan Rou as often. I’m sure Madam will bring some socialites over to go on blind dates with you.” Xiao Mo added.
“Xiao Mo, you’re my best assistant, aren’t you?” Zhuang Liu was already annoyed with the thought of those girls that his mother would bring over.
“What do you want, Third Young Master?” Xiao Mo was very excited. “I’ll do whatever you want.”
“Then I’ll leave these socialites to you.” Zhuang Liu smiled.
Xiao Mo didn’t understand what he meant by that. “Third Young Master, what do you mean?”
Zhuang Liu said, “Deal with them before I have to see them. I don’t want to meet any of them, do you understand? I think my best right-hand man would be able to do this, right?”
This was a difficult task but Xiao Mo had to do it well in order to gain Zhuang Liu’s approval.
“I promise to complete the mission!”
Zhuang Liu instantly felt more relaxed. “I’ve asked you to pick a place for dinner. What did you find?” Originally, he wanted to go to the Clear Stream Pavilion to eat, but that was a place that was relatively quiet. Moreover, he had eaten there many times. He was also afraid that Tan Rou would get tired of eating there as well.
Xiao Mo showed Zhuang Liu the few restaurants he had picked. “Madam likes lively places, so she wouldn’t like a private room. She chose a few restaurants with good environments in the hall itself. The ingredients are fresh, and each restaurant has its own characteristics. For example, this restaurant was very famous for their stews. Slow cooked stew that are made of fresh ingredients and the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup was stewed for seven days. As for this, this restaurant is more famous for its stir-fried lotus root, fried shrimps, and so on. This noodle restaurant serves one of the best crab roe dumplings. Which one would you like best?”
Zhuang Liu didn’t know which one would taste better and so he picked the one that had the better interior designs. “I’ll take this one. We’ll be having lunch tomorrow.”
After choosing a restaurant, Zhuang Liu told Tan Rou about the meal. He also mentioned he would introduce her to a new patient and told her to be prepared.
Tan Rou agreed to it. Currently, Zhuang Liu and Old Master Lu’s treatment is coming to an end and the exams are over. She had more free time, and so would be able to take on another patient.
“Then it’s settled. I’ll send a car to pick you up tomorrow morning,” Zhuang Liu said.
Tan Rou rejected Zhuang Liu’s offer. “No need to trouble yourself. I have to go to the city library tomorrow morning. I’ll take a taxi there myself.”
Zhuang Liu didn’t insist further. “Okay, see you tomorrow at noon.”
Early the next morning, Zhuang Liu asked Xiao Mo to drive to the airport. Shen Jing had taken a plane in the middle of the night and was about to arrive.
“Have you done what I told you to do?” Zhuang Liu leaned back in his chair, his face a little anxious.
“Third Young Master, don’t worry. I’ve already done it. I just don’t know if Madam will blame me later…” Xiao Mo replied.
Zhuang Liu relaxed a lot. “Don’t worry about it. Just don’t answer whatever my mom says later. I’ll take the blame for everything.”
“How can I allow that to happen?” Xiao Mo didn’t think this was a good idea.
“Do you want to be fired by my mom?” Zhuang Liu asked.
“No, no, no!” Xiao Mo shook his head. “I really like this job!”
