Ren Xin was in the middle of a driving lesson when she received a call from Tang Ruihang.
“Hello? You’d better have a good reason for calling!”
On the other end, Tang Ruihang was silent for a moment. “…”
“I just wanted to make sure you were still… around.”
Ren Xin gestured for her instructor to take a break before snapping back, “Cut the crap. I’m doing perfectly fine.”
Tang Ruihang said helplessly, “I’m about to get engaged. Mom, aren’t you coming back for it?”
“I’m already back. Did I not tell you? I even have a dinner date with Ruiran tonight! Did I not invite you?”
Tang Ruihang: “…” This kind of “forgetting the child” behavior really deserved to be condemned!
But as they say, ignoring your child’s existence is a woman’s best beauty treatment.
Ren Xin gave him some nagging instructions. “Don’t forget to go to your future in-laws’ house to pick them up. It makes you look more polite.”
“Then what about you, Mom?”
“I’m driving myself. I have a brand-new car and brand-new skills. I drive like a pro.”
Tang Ruihang: “…” Now he was even more worried!
That evening, when Ren Xin arrived safely at the restaurant, she saw her foolish son waiting at the entrance, looking around anxiously.
“Hi, unlucky son, what are you doing?”
Tang Ruihang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Ren Xin. “I told the driver to pick you up, but he said you wanted to drive yourself. You’re a novice on the road, it’s dangerous! Can you please just…”
Ren Xin interrupted him impatiently. “No matter what you say, the answer is no. Besides, if I’m the one driving, shouldn’t the danger be for everyone else? I know exactly what I’m doing regarding my own safety!”
Book Spirit Number One: 【The host’s self-awareness has never actually reached maturity.】
Tang Ruihang: “…” What exactly do you know? How are you getting more unreliable the older you get?
“Let’s go. Stop dawdling, you’re nothing like me!”
Tang Ruihang followed helplessly behind Ren Xin as they entered the private dining room.
After a round of formal pleasantries with Zhang Ruiran’s parents, Ren Xin began showering Ruiran with non-stop praise. She claimed the girl was an angel sent to save Tang Ruihang, praising her character, her job, and her family upbringing.
“To be honest, my Ruihang is self-motivated. I usually just handle the food and drinks and give some blind directions. Fortunately, the boy has a mind of his own. He started his own business after graduation, and it seems to be taking shape now. Now that his love life is also flourishing, I’ll be able to wake up laughing from my dreams…”
The other side returned the compliments. By the end of the meal, everyone was acting like veteran performers, flattering each other relentlessly, while the actual subjects, Tang Ruihang and Zhang Ruiran, were cringing so hard they were practically digging holes with their toes1.
Ren Xin expressed that this was simply the wisdom of a ginseng spirit.
Book Spirit Number One: 【Pah!】
Finally, when the conversation turned to the engagement date and the bride price, Ren Xin waved her hand dismissively. When it came to doting on a daughter-in-law, she was a professional.
“How about this: I have a few sets of jewelry that I’ll give to Ruiran. I’ll also provide fifty million as a betrothal gift; consider it a pre-marital gift from me personally. Finally, I have a large luxury apartment in the city center. I noticed it’s close to the school where she works, making her commute convenient. I’ll transfer the title directly to her. As for a car, I’ll just provide the cash so Ruiran can pick whatever she likes. Regarding the ‘Three Golds2‘ jewelry, we’ll wait until Ruiran has time, and I’ll take her to pick them out myself—whatever she wants, we’ll buy. All expenses for the wedding banquet and everything else will be covered by our family…”
The Zhang Family parents were stunned. Dear in-law, wake up! You’re gaining a daughter-in-law, not marrying off a daughter!
Ren Xin waved them off. “If this brat Tang Ruihang ever treats Ruiran poorly in the future, I’ll make him leave the house with nothing. If Ruiran ever remarries, I’m going with her, and I’ll give her everything I own.”
Tang Ruihang: “…” Is this really my biological mother?
Zhang Ruiran’s eyes sparkled. She suddenly felt as if her mother-in-law was glowing with a divine light.
