"Yes, I think, since I want to give you support. Your parents are all here, so don't worry. Your mom has already promised me that she won't cause any trouble. "
An Sheng frowned. 'Mom isn't going to cause trouble?'
She really couldn't be at ease.
"Sheng'er?"
An Sheng came back to her senses. "Dad, which hotel did you choose? I'll pick you two up in a while."
"No need. After you and Muzhi have decided on where you want to go for di
er, send us a message. Your mom and I will be there shortly."
"But ??"
"Alright, since we're all family, there's nothing we can't do. Just listen to me. It's settled then. You go to work first."
After Ling Chenghao finished speaking, he hung up.
An Sheng scratched her forehead.
A mother who didn't like her, a future mother-in-law who really hated herself ??
An Sheng wasn't sure whether it was because she failed to be a good person or because the people she met weren't kind enough.
In short...
She scratched her head. She was upset.
At the side, her colleague, seeing how she was about to go crazy, couldn't help but to ask worriedly, "Secretary An, are you alright?"
"What?" An Sheng came back to her senses and looked down at her secretary. She smiled awkwardly and said, "It's fine, it's fine."
She turned around and walked out of the office and made a call to Kang Muzhi.
Kang Muzhi felt that it didn't matter. He arranged for a hotel and called Ling Chenghao himself.
After confirming Ling Chenghao and his wife's trip, he personally brought people to the hotel to pick them up.
It was enough to show how much importance he placed on this meeting.
In the evening, Kang Muzhi first received An Sheng, and then the two of them went to pick up An Sheng's parents.
Seeing Song Meiyi, An Sheng greeted her gently, as before, "Mom."
Unexpectedly, Song Meiyi didn't make things difficult for her. She only looked at her and nodded.
Ling Chenghao saw Song Meiyi's reaction and let out a sigh of relief.
An Sheng was puzzled. She had a nagging feeling that the Song Meiyi of today was slightly different from the Song Meiyi of the past.
After Kang Muzhi called a few people to get on the car, he drove them to their destination.
Different from the last time, when they rushed to the hotel, Kang Muzhi's parents had already arrived.
Wu took the initiative to bring his wife forward to shake hands with Ling Chenghao and his wife.
After Kang Muzhi introduced the four people, the six of them sat down.
Kang Muzhi and An Sheng were sitting with their parents.
Kang Bingxu raised his glass and said to Ling Chenghao, "Director Ling, I feel that before we start to eat, my wife and I need to apologize for last time's dissatisfaction."
Ling Chenghao wasn't a petty person, so he naturally accepted the apology.
However, he was slightly surprised in his heart.
Last time, judging from their attitude, it was impossible for them to accept Sheng'er.
It had only been a few days, how could their attitudes change so drastically?
He was curious about what Kang Muzhi did.
During the banquet, Han Baolan asked first: "Director Ling, Madam Ling, the two children freely date each other, and right now, they have already reached the stage of discussing marriage. We also don't know what the customs in your South City are like, so if the two children are to get married, you two can just mention what request you have, I will quickly make preparations."
Just as Ling Chenghao was about to speak, Song Meiyi, who was beside him, beat him to it.
"I think that since it's an inter-provincial marriage, there's no need to bother about customs and practices." Song Meiyi turned to look at An Sheng.
An Sheng was guilty, but she still looked worriedly at Song Meiyi.
To be honest, she really didn't want anything to happen anymore.
It was just a marriage, so how could it be so hard?
Song Meiyi continued, "Where's Sheng'er? She was raised up in the hands of our family's Elder Ling. This fact is known to everyone in the entire South City. In terms of dowry, we naturally can't let her down. As for what you want to give, just do as you like. After all, we don't lack anything.
We, husband and wife, only have one request for this marriage, and that is for you to treat Sheng'er well. We don't require you to treat Sheng'er as your own daughter, but at the very least, we ca
ot let her suffer grievances in the hands of a parents-in-law after she has left her parents. "
These words startled Ling Chenghao and An Sheng beside him.
For the first time, Ling Chenghao felt that perhaps it was right to tell her about An Sheng's background earlier.
An Sheng was looking at Song Meiyi as if she was a stranger. Was this still the mother she hated the moment she saw her?
These words were clearly without any edge, and were entirely for her sake.
Or could it be that she, like Han Meilan, was only acting?
Kang Bingxu and Han Baolan looked at each other. Han Baolan said, "We don't dare to do anything. We promise to treat this child as though she's our real daughter, but we will do our best to treat her well."
Han Baolan smiled at An Sheng and extended her hand across the table. "Sheng'er, this is my first time being a mother-in-law and this is your first time being a daughter-in-law. We'll take care of each other from now on, okay?"
Since she promised to put on an act, she had to cooperate well.
An Sheng simply shook hands with Han Baolan and said, "OK, Mrs. Kang."
"You still call me Mrs. Kang? Just call me Auntie from now on."
An Sheng nodded. "Alright, Auntie."
Seeing this, Kang Muzhi said: "I've already had my days checked, the day after tomorrow will be good. If the four seniors have no objections, we will accept the certificate the day after tomorrow. As for the wedding day, I'll have to trouble Uncle Ling to help pick one."
An Sheng was stu
ed once again.
When did he check?
Why didn't she know?
Kang Bingxu calmly said, "We have no objections. CEO Ling Chenghao, Madam Ling, what do you think?"
Ling Chenghao turned around and took out the account book at home and gave it to An Sheng.
"Since all of you have chosen your days, then so be it."
When An Sheng held the account book in her hand, she glanced at Song Meiyi.
Ever since she was young, she had been influenced by Song Meiyi and was very observant.
However, she had to admit that the way Song Meiyi was looking at her now was not filled with hostility.
What was going on?
Could it be that she was dreaming?
After putting away the household register, she secretly pinched her thigh.
Pain.
After the meal, Kang Muzhi and An Sheng sent Ling Chenghao and Song Meiyi back to the hotel together.
After the four of them got out of the car, Song Meiyi said to An Sheng, "An Sheng, I'm a bit full tonight. The hotel's environment is not bad, do you want to accompany me for a walk?"
What was to come, An Sheng thought, would never be late.
It was time to reveal Song Meiyi's true face.
Kang Muzhi originally wanted to say that he had something to do and wanted to take An Sheng away first.
Ling Chenghao, on the other hand, let Kang Muzhi accompany him upstairs for a cup of tea.
Since the elder has made a request, the junior ca
ot refuse.
An Sheng said to him, "Then accompany my dad for some tea. I'll accompany my mom for a walk. We'll leave for a while."
Kang Muzhi looked at her worriedly.
However, An Sheng smiled at him.
In any case, what was supposed to happen, was there no way to avoid it?
