Chapter 25: Mama’s Girl 8

The desk in front of her was always filled with unsolved math problems, while her deskmate was completely immersed in criminal investigation novels every day, unable to extricate himself! He was determined to become an honorable policeman.

“If you don’t start studying now, forget about being a policeman, even getting into the community will be hard! After all, you’re not like me, so smart and clever~”

Deskmate: “???”

The person in front of her turned around and agreed, “Ren Xin makes a valid point! You can’t waste your time like this. We need to study for the rise of the country!”

“But the country has already risen!”

Ren Xin thought for a moment and decided to take a big gamble, “Then let’s work hard for the male models with wide shoulders and narrow waists~”

“Alright, I’ll start studying now.”

Ren Xin felt proud, watching how she would save this runaway girl from falling off the cliff.

The person in front of her: “???” This isn’t what the book says!

“If there’s any difference between my words and the book, please refer to what I say. After all, I’ll be someone on the evening news in the future, a very important person.”

The person in front of her, and the deskmate: “……..”

Madness for the day, completed! Time to go home and find Mom.

“Mom, how’s the script revision going?”

Zheng Xiujuan was wearing an apron, cooking, “Everything’s going smoothly. I invited the director over later, sweetheart, can you help me set the table?”

“Mom, what’s the director’s name? I want to see what movies he’s worked on, so I won’t run out of topics to talk about later.”

“He’s a new director, named Ren Yi. It’s his first time as a director, and it’s also my first time as a screenwriter. We’re both taking it seriously, so there’s a lot to discuss. When he comes, you just quietly eat your food, baby, and try not to talk too much, okay?”

That won’t do. She’s the pillar of the family—she must raise a toast and say a few words!

“How old is the director?”

Ren Xin looked at the very young man in front of her, her eyes full of scrutiny, as if she sensed something inappropriate.

The director smiled at Ren Xin and said, “I’ve always heard your mom talk about you. Finally, we meet. Hello, I’m Ren Yi. I know your name is Ren Xin, and we both have the same surname.”

Ren Xin waved her hand, “I’m stuck with the surname Ren, but don’t compare me to you. How old are you?”

“33.”

“Oh! Five years younger than my mom.”

“Age doesn’t matter.”

Wow, this guy’s ambitions are so obvious, and he’s not hiding them at all. As a mama’s girl, she definitely won’t agree. She’ll make him know just how big the gap is between them!!

“Ren Yi, Ren Xin, you can wash your hands and eat now.”

Ren Xin smiled insincerely, “Look, my mom’s calling us like we’re younger generations.” Old man. Don’t get any delusions.

Ren Yi smiled back, “It’s fine, either way, you still need to call me ‘Uncle.'”

Ren Xin stopped smiling, narrowing her eyes, “You better not give me anything to hold against you!”

“Always ready to cooperate with investigations!”

“What are you two doing, dragging your feet? Go wash your hands and eat!”

Ren Yi, harmless as ever, said, “Okay.”

Ren Xin was visibly displeased.

At the dinner table, Ren Yi and Zheng Xiujuan were chatting happily. Ren Xin had to admit that Ren Yi was a man with high emotional intelligence and spoke with good discretion.

But so what? Not everything is certain!

Ren Yi smiled and glanced at the sulking Ren Xin. This young girl was really interesting. Was this the legendary mama’s girl?

Ren Yi, after being given a sharp glare by Ren Xin, chuckled.

Zheng Xiujuan didn’t know what was going on between the two of them, so she kept serving Ren Xin food to keep her quiet. The kid’s words could really drive someone mad, and the director was a newcomer. Better not let him experience the extremes of joy and frustration.

After dinner, Ren Yi surprisingly stood up to start cleaning up.

Zheng Xiujuan quickly refused, “Ren Xin, take Uncle Ren to the living room for some fruit. We can handle these few bowls and chopsticks. Don’t get your clothes dirty.”

Ren Yi casually said, “No need. I often help out at home too. Let’s do it together, it’ll be faster with two people.”

Hearing that, Ren Xin felt a wave of nausea. She realized that the trendy “male virtues” nowadays were all about delicate and gentle guys. The quality of men these days was really disappointing!!
