Chapter 752: The Awkward Zhao Ying (B)

Yang Ming was caught off guard. He thought that Wang Guifen was testing him. He quickly said, “No… we have our own dorms in university.”
“Ah, I see…” Wang Guifen was obviously disappointed. She didn’t know what the progress of the relationship between Yang Ming and her daughter was. What if one day Yang Ming and my daughter break up? But, she suddenly had a wild thought. Wang Guifen came up with a good idea. “How about you buy a house near the university? I heard that quite a number of college students stayed outside. It is more convenient for you to live with Yingying…”
“Eh!” Yang Ming was stunned. He almost lost control of the steering wheel. If Yang Ming wasn’t sober, he might even think that he had misheard. “Buy a house?”
“Yes, both you are postgraduate students… Aren’t postgraduate students allowed to get married now…?” said Wang Guifen.
Zhao Ying’s and Yang Ming’s faces changed at the same time. Zhao Ying was incomparably embarrassed while Yang Ming was inexplicable. It was Yang Ming’s first time to encounter a mother like this. Although Chen Mengyan’s parents now basically didn’t get involved with Yang Ming’s relationship with Chen Mengyan, regardless of their development, for that matter, it was also an attitude that didn’t oppose nor support at the same time.
“Aunty… We are still in university. Marriage might seem a little early?” Yang Ming hesitated.
Wang Guifen heard Yang Ming’s tone and thought that Yang Ming was a young man who didn’t want to get married too early. So she quickly said, “Then, don’t get married first. Nowadays, there are many college students who cohabit…”
“Mom, what are you talking about!?” Zhao Ying frowned. The more she listened, the more she felt the situation was wrong. She quickly spoke up and halted it.
“You little child, Mom is doing it in your best interest!” Wang Guifen said sternly, “When a man and woman are together, in case one day they break up, it is still the woman who suffers! So, Yang Ming, for Yingying’s future life, don’t you need to buy her a house? Do you think what I said make sense?”
“…” Yang Ming finally learned what was called formidable. She could even utter such nonsense, but Yang Ming didn’t forget his task. Naturally, he couldn’t show any dissatisfaction to Wang Guifen. Yang Ming could only nod. “Aunty, what you said is right… This is a normal thought…”
“Since it is right, when would you buy a house?” Wang Guifen said, “This matter can’t just be merely said!”
“Well… I will buy it in a few days…” Yang Ming said helplessly.
“How many days really?” Wang Guifen wasn’t at ease.
“How about tomorrow…? Aunty, when you take a liking to a certain house, you can make the decision to buy it. I will pay the money…” Yang Ming didn’t care about the money to buy a house. Moreover, the house would be purchased for Zhao Ying. Yang Ming also did it willingly, not to mention he had special feelings for Zhao Ying. For just Zhao Ying’s help before the college entrance examination, Yang Ming was already very grateful.
However, this feeling of being forced to buy a house was a bit uncomfortable.
“Great… then it is set…” Seeing that this prospective son-in-law was so accommodating, Wang Guifen couldn’t help but be delighted. Her desire expanded as she suddenly blurted out, “Would you buy a car since you are already buying a house? Isn’t it inconvenient to fetch Yingying every day? In case you don’t have time, what if Ying Ying who is a girl faces danger when she goes back… Do you think what I said is right? I heard that the bigger the city, the worse law and order is. Those hooligans are all daring…”
Speaking of hooligans, Yang Ming really thought that was true! Wasn’t that Ji Shuisheng who Yang Ming had encountered with Zhao Ying the same? So, Wang Guifen didn’t say anything wrong. Since the house was bought, they might as well get the car. Yang Ming simply nodded. “No problem… Aunty, will you also be choosing one together as well?”
Yang Ming was put in a helpless situation. He had to come up with such a joke. He didn’t expect Wang Guifen to believe that as the truth. “Really? I happened to be a driver in a big group of drivers, and I have a driver’s license! I also don’t need a good car. You can buy a good one for Yingying and then buy mine with the remaining funds. A car worth ten thousand would be fine…”
Yang Ming was almost amused, but because of Zhao Ying’s face, he could only continue, “It doesn’t matter. Buying a better one will do…”
“Then, can I buy a domestic BMW? I heard that it is more than three hundred thousand…” Wang Guifen’s excited voice changed.
It was no wonder that Wang Guifen would be out of control. Although Wang Guifen was snobbish, she wasn’t stupid enough to distinguish between words with good intention or bad intention. But, Wang Guifen was so excited today that she became dizzy and said all that nonsense.
Moreover, Wang Guifen felt that her daughter was so beautiful. She should charm Yang Ming!
If Zhao Ying was just an ordinary friend of Yang Ming, or Yang Ming had no good feelings for her, maybe Yang Ming would be angry. But at this moment, Yang Ming thought that it was logical to buy things for Zhao Ying, but he felt somewhat uncomfortable to do it in such a way.
“Alright…” Yang Ming was already numb. In his opinion, the price of a car was no serious matter. So since he had promised, what was bought was the same.
“Yang Ming, how can you promise that?” When Zhao Ming saw that Yang Ming was merely nodding his head, she was a little anxious. “What are you doing? Buying me a house and a car! My mother is just stirring up trouble. Why do you believe her?”
Yang Ming shrugged and smiled a bit. Yang Ming didn’t say anything at all which in a way meant, What can I say? My current status is your boyfriend. I can’t be too stingy, right?
“Yingying, what’s the matter with you? Isn’t Mom doing this for you?” Wang Guifen heard Zhao Ying’s words and became angry. “They all say, a grown girl can’t be kept at home. You already don’t put your mother in your eyes now?”
Although Zhao Ying had some opinions on her mother, no matter what she was also Zhao Ying’s own biological mother. If the unfilial hat was put on her, she couldn’t bear it.
Moreover, Zhao Ying actually understood her mother’s bitterness. In the early years, the living conditions at home were not bad. Mom was the driver of a large vehicle group in a particular institution while Dad was the coach of the city’s martial arts hall. In the early 1990s, this was a good job.
However, with the dissolution of the big group, her mother became jobless, and her father only took home the same salary every month. When her mother watched the life of other people’s homes flourish while her mother had to be busy all day for money, her heart would inevitably have some grievances. Wang Guifen also became more stingy in life.
When Wang Guifen was at home, she often complained to Zhao Ying’s father, Zhao Daquan. After Zhao Daquan was discharged from the military, why did he go to work in the martial arts hall? There were so many jobs available. There were police stations and factory security offices. Those veterans who went to work for the police had become administrative officers. Those veterans who went to a factory had become the Security Department Manager of the XX Group, with a monthly salary of over ten thousand!
The martial arts hall had the lowest wages with good welfare benefits. Nowadays, young people go to the gym. Who would go to the martial arts hall? How could Wang Guifen feel a balance in her heart?
Zhao Daquan was an honest man, but it didn’t mean that he would be as snobbish as Wang Guifen. Although he wouldn’t argue with Wang Guifen sometimes, he also felt that Wang Guifen was a bit too much! Who would ask for a car and house during their first meet up? What was it like? Wasn’t it the same as selling your own daughter?
Therefore, Zhao Daquan couldn’t help but say, “Xiao Yang, don’t be serious. Your Aunty just made a joke with you. She just wanted to test you whether you are serious in the relationship with Yingying… You know, parents are always worried about their daughter!”
“What are you talking about?” Wang Guifen managed to do a good deed, but it was destroyed by her husband. She was annoyed instantly. “Shut up!”
Zhao Daquan didn’t retreat this time. He spoke in a loud voice with a red face, “Wang Guifen! With your action, you will teach our daughter to become bad! Your thoughts are in such a mess! Isn’t it better to ask Yingying to marry the bank?”
Zhao Daquan was enraged. Originally, he wanted to use a joke to dispel the atmosphere in front of him. However, Wang Guifen didn’t appreciate it, putting Zhao Daquan in an awkward situation which made Zhao Daquan quite angry.
How could Yang Ming not notice? He already discovered what kind of person Wang Guifen was. Naturally, he wouldn’t think she was just joking! However, at the moment, Yang Ming’s impression of Zhao Daquan was still very good.
Initially, Yang Ming was still wondering, how could Wang Guifen, such a greedy character, be able to raise Zhao Ying into such a wonderful girl? Zhao Ying must have followed her father.
“Uncle, Aunty, don’t argue…” Yang Ming persuaded. “I originally planned to buy a house and a car. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Zhao Ying. Isn’t this the case?”
As Yang Ming said this, he winked at Zhao Ying.
Looking at Yang Ming thinking for her own sake, Zhao Ying was very moved. She found it inappropriate to insist, so she nodded. “Yes…”
“Look. It is just that you have lots of comments!” After Wang Guifen listened, she suddenly smiled.
“Ai!” Zhao Daquan sighed. He wasn’t stupid. How could he not notice Yang Ming’s surprise when Wang Guifen proposed to buy a house and a car? However, at this moment, he thought Yang Ming was a good guy. He would take care of everyone’s face.
“Xiao Yang, what does your family do?” Wang Guifen didn’t have the intention to let Yang Ming go.
“We do some business…” Yang Ming didn’t say much.
“Then… Do you know the Sui Family of Mount Jing?” Wang Guifen said. She just thought that big shots should know each other in the same place.
“Oh, Sui Guangqi is my junior high school classmate. I’m not familiar with the other people.” Yang Ming said faintly. He didn’t want to mention anything about the Sui family. The incident of Zhou Jiajia and the incident of Sui’s wedding caused Yang Ming not to have a good impression of the Sui family.
“Oh? Sui Guangqi! Isn’t that Sui Guangheng – that is my cousin-in-law’s younger brother?” Wang Guifen didn’t hear the indifference in Yang Ming’s tone. She said this to pull the relationship with Yang Ming closer.
“Cousin-in-law?” Yang Ming frowned. Why do I have something to do with the Sui Family again? What a complicated and messy relationship!
