Liang Han jumped up in shock. “Mom, you’re killing me here! I’m dying! I’m dying, okay? Mom, what’s going on in that head of yours every day? What’s this about me ‘coming out of the closet? Ye Kun has a girlfriend—no, scratch that— has a fiancée, you know! Whatever gave you such an idea? Oh, dear Heavens, Mom!” Liang Han felt like crying.
Kong Zhen’s eyes widened. “Oh? So you knew Ye Kun has a girlfriend, now fiancée?”
“Of course! I was the one who wrote that passionate love declaration of his—I‘ Liang Han replied before he stopped short, wishing he could go back in time and slap himself. He was too proud of his work and had unsuspectingly outed himself to his mother.
As expected, Kong Zhen threw the cushion beside her at her son and angrily roared, “You have the time and ability to help your buddy get a fiancée and still have the nerve to be single? You have the nerve to return home without a girlfriend! I now look bad, thanks to you!”
Liang Han hugged the cushion and swallowed the sigh that threatened to leave his mouth. Kong Zhen stood up and glared at her son with her hands on her waist. “I’ll leave Xi Cheng aside, as he has been betrothed to Lin Yu since he was young. That’s on me; I’m not an adequate mother, as I haven’t thought to prepare a bride for you since your childhood. Then what about Shi Nian?! Your best friend, who you hang around with every day, has quietly gotten himself a beautiful and capable wife. Look at how happy that made Xu Yun—she’s skipping everywhere in joy!”
She continued, “And now, even Ye Kun has a fiancée. Although rumors about her are going wild in the city, Lu Ying has already started to prepare betrothal gifts, which means that that girl is good wife material! Now, take a look at yourself! You’ve been gallivanting out there for so long and still have the nerve to come back to see me without a girlfriend? I didn’t fall behind the other madams when we four gave birth to you boys together back then, so why did you turn out so disappointing? How can I face the others during our gatherings?”
Still hugging the cushion, Liang Han raised his head to sheepishly say, “Mom, what’s there to compare? I, your son, am now a rich and eligible bachelor. I’m quite popular with the ladies! Shouldn’t you be proud?”
Kong Zhen twisted Liang Han’s ear and said through gritted teeth, “I wouldn’t care about you if you weren’t my son! But you ARE my son, and no son of mine can be so useless!”
Liang Han winced in pain, covered his ear, and begged mercy. “Mom! Mom, stop, let go! Let go, please! I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’ll listen to you. I’ll listen to you, alright?”
Kong Zhen loosened her hold on his ear before pinching it again. “Really?” she asked.
Liang Han hurriedly nodded. “I’ll listen! I’ll listen! So let go of my ear, Mom, let go!” Only then did Kong Zhen let go.
