Hearing his mom crying, Luo Chao laughed heartily, "Mom, I didn't lose my job, I got a promotion. I'm now working in the company's logistics departnt as a clerk."
"Promotion?" Qin Yuzhen froze for a mont, then broke into a smile and scolded, "You brat, trying to make your mom happy, huh? Wait till you get back, I'll show you how to teach you a lesson."
"Hehe." Luo Chao chuckled dryly, "Mom, you suddenly called , is there sothing up?"
Her son got promoted, Qin Yuzhen couldn't be happier, she giggled, "Oh, it's still about your lifelong matter!"
Here we go again! Luo Chao smiled wryly, "Mom, my career is just starting, I'm not rushing to get married yet, let's talk about it next year."
Luo Chao couldn't help but glance at Ning Wanxi, who was approving the company's docunts, seemingly not listening at all, little did he know, Ning Wanxi wasn't focused on the files.
"Brat, you're not anxious, but your mother is so anxious, you know Little Fatty next door? He's a year younger than you, and his son's already born. You must get married this year and give a big grandson next year, or I'll die in front of you."
"."
Qin Yuzhen had a strong personality. She once quarreled with Luo Chao's father, Lu Feng, and yelled about not wanting to live anymore, then actually found a rope to hang herself, which scared Luo Chao's dad out of his wits. Since then, he succumbed to her every demand.
Knowing this deeply, Luo Chao quickly said, "Don't, Mom, I'll listen to you, alright?"
"That's right, my son is promising, surely he can find a pretty wife," Qin Yuzhen laughed, "I've already picked a few girls for you in the neighboring village, you co back for blind dates this Saturday."
"No way?"
"Hmm! You want your mother to really die, don't you?"
A fragrant breeze rushed in and a pristine jade-white hand suddenly snatched Luo Chao's phone, then put it to her ear and softly said, "Hello, Auntie."
A strange voice suddenly appeared in the ear, genuinely scaring Qin Yuzhen, after a mont, she questioningly said, "Who are you?"
"I'm Luo Chao's girlfriend, my na is Ning Wanxi, everything Luo Chao just said was to deceive you. I really couldn't sit and watch, so I grabbed the phone, sorry for the abruptness, Auntie."
Ning Wanxi spoke seriously into the phone, leaving Luo Chao petrified on the spot.
What is this woman trying to do? Luo Chao stared at her in shock, clearly this was a marriage of convenience, and with such a fuss, how would it end?
Ning Wanxi, cold and intolerable enough, also had a weird condition—not to be touched, let alone to carry on the family line, a wedding night, only fools would marry her.
Luo Chao was a bit angry, but things had reached this stage, could he still snatch the phone back?
"You're my son Xiao Xuan's girlfriend?"
The suddenly popped-up daughter-in-law was like a sister from heaven, Qin Yuzhen was still a bit incredulous.
"Yes, Auntie, Luo Chao and I have been dating for a month."
Thinking that Xiao Xuan liked to play such tricks, Qin Yuzhen believed it, chuckling, "This boy really had fooled, girl, where do you work?"
Ning Wanxi softly replied, "Auntie, I work at Tengyuan Group too."
If Ning Wanxi said she was the president of Tengyuan Group, Qin Yuzhen might have been shocked into a heart attack, thankfully Ms. Ning knew this deeply.
"Girl, why not co to our ho with Luo Chao this Saturday," Qin Yuzhen tested gently.
Ning Wanxi laughed, "Auntie, things have been busy lately, how about I co back with Luo Chao to see you during the May Day three-day holiday?"
At this mont, Ning Wanxi, contrary to her norm, showed a gentle smile, like the just-gone winter eting a warm spring breeze, touching the heart, Luo Chao was a bit dumbfounded, such different attitudes toward her own mom and toward himself.
Ning Wanxi knew that an awkward daughter-in-law still must face the in-laws eventually, even if she was a fake daughter-in-law, but the two-year agreent, under the parents' eager wedding urge, couldn't be escaped.
"Fine, then that's settled, girl," Qin Yuzhen laughed cheerfully, her face almost blossoming.
Ning Wanxi nodded, "Yes, Auntie, we'll definitely co back on ti."
"Let the brat take the phone!" ca Qin Yuzhen's angry voice from the other end.
Ning Wanxi handed the phone back to Luo Chao, before he could put it to his ear, he heard his mom shout loudly, "Brat, wait till you get back to see how I'll teach you a lesson!"
As soon as Qin Yuzhen finished, she directly hung up the phone.
Luo Chao held the phone in his hand, glaring at Ning Wanxi, "Ms. Ning, what are you trying to do? We are clearly contract partners, now what are we supposed to do?"
Ning Wanxi walked back to her desk, sneering, "With your parents pushing for marriage like this, and since we've got our marriage certificate, can this matter be avoided?"
"The household registration card already shows as married, do you think it can be concealed temporarily, or forever?"
Luo Chao thought carefully and realized it seed true, he agreed to the contract because it was only a two-year term that would pass in the blink of an eye, but he hadn't expected his parents to urgently push for marriage to the point of threatening suicide.
This was beyond Luo Chao's expectations. He smiled bitterly, "It seems there's no other way, first get past my parents then."
"There's still my parents!" Ning Wanxi uttered unexpectedly.
Luo Chao seed to sit on nails, jumping up from the sofa, anxiously, "What's wrong with your parents?"
"My parents originally planned to travel the world for three years, estimating they'd return in two years. But unexpectedly, my mom called yesterday, saying they'd return next month," Ning Wanxi frowned, obviously this was another headache inducing dilemma.
"Damn!" Luo Chao cursed, feeling agitated and overwheld, what a ss not resolved is t with another, about to be played to death.
At this point, Luo Chao regretted signing the contract, now he had to deal with Ning Wanxi's parents too.
"We still have ti, let's prepare thoroughly," Ning Wanxi, although calm on the surface, felt troubled in her heart, but what's destined will surely co, since it can't be avoided, the only choice is to face it.
Luo Chao, having seen worse, quickly cald down internally, couldn't there be any solution, if exposed, at worst not a penny would be taken, and just walk away.
"Alright, but during the May Day three-day holiday, you really want to go ho with ?" Luo Chao said blankly.
Ning Wanxi said coldly, "Whether it's actions or words, one must adhere to the word 'credit'."
Luo Chao shook his head, thinking if Ning Wanxi faced his parents with that sullen face, he was in for trouble, certainly his old man would chase him down the street with a pig butcher knife.
