C32 (1/2)
After returning to Cang Qing's high-class apartment, Lin Mo brought Dong Shuqin and the rest to visit her and Cang Qing's house. Seeing the tasteful decorations, Dong Shuqin nodded silently in her heart.
Cang Qing's condition was not bad, he was a good man, had a high rank, and in a place like Beijing, where an inch of land was worth an inch of money, he was still in a high-class district in the city center. In addition to being satisfied with Cang Qing's son-in-law, he couldn't help but worry about his mother's undesire to marry his daughter to such a rich and powerful man.
But, looking at Cang Qing's condition, his family's condition must be pretty good. What if his daughter suffers in the future at the Cang Family!
Lin Mo and Dong Shuqin were on good terms, and the moment Dong Shuqin was distracted, Lin Mo noticed it. She held Dong Shuqin's hand with her small hands and smiled, revealing two dimples. She asked, ”Mom, what's wrong? What are you so lost in thought for?”
Only after hearing Lin Mo's question did Dong Shuqin regain her senses. She held Lin Mo's hands and asked softly, ”Is Cang Qing nice to you?”
Lin Mo's heart froze for a moment before immediately reacting to the meaning behind Dong Shuqin's words. Not only did she recall the care and concern Cang Qing had for her these past few days, a warm feeling flowed into her heart, instantly warming it.
”Mm, he doesn't have to be nice to me.”
Seeing Lin Mo's smiling face and slightly blushing cheeks, it seemed that she was a little shy. Dong Shuqin understood that her daughter was very happy with Cang Qing, and she was very happy with him. This way, he would feel at ease.
”Dong Dong Dong …”
A knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Lin Mo and Dong Shuqin. The door was pushed open and Cang Qing walked in.
”Dad called to ask if Mom and Dad are here. He said he wants to have a meal together, what do you think?”
”Fine, Mom, let's go eat at the Cang household's mansion today. Cang Qing and I will sleep over there tonight. You guys stay here, what do you think?”
Dong Shuqin nodded as she heard her daughter's words. They had come this time to meet with their families, and now that the Old Master of the Cang family had purposely called, they should not have refused due to their emotions.
”Alright, I'll do as you say. Mom has no objections.”
With that, Dong Shuqin saw Xue Nanshan and Xue Shao walk in, and then asked, ”Oh right, Cang Qing, I don't even know what your father does for a living. What is his hobby?”
Her mother-in-law, Cang Qing, who hadn't taken a good look at him at the airport just now, immediately felt that although Dong Shuqin was old, it wasn't hard to tell that she must have been a peerless beauty when she was young. Lin Mo didn't inherit Dong Shuqin's beauty, but although she was cute, it wasn't exactly beautiful.
”Father is the commander in the Xo military region.”
Upon hearing Cang Qing's reply, Xue Nanshan was obviously stunned. Although he had guessed that the late master of the clan might be a soldier, he had not expected that his rank would be so high. Xue Shao, on the other hand, had a calm expression and a fake smile on his face, as if he didn't care that Old Master Cang was the commander in chief.
Pretending to be surprised and happy, Dong Shuqin said, ”Ah! I never thought that I would actually be related to the commander in chief by blood! ”
Dong Shuqin wanted to use Cang Qing's family background to intimidate Xue Shao so that he would behave in the capital for the next few days. She didn't want to see what happened at the airport and hoped that Xue Shao wouldn't give face to Cang Qing, the teacher in charge, and the commander in chief.
”Mom, my father-in-law is very easy to get along with and very easy-going.”
The family fished for a while longer. Seeing that it was about time, Lin Mo suggested that they go to the old house.
Seeing that Lin Mo's family had come over, Mother Li quickly went over and received the gifts from Cang Qing and Xue Shao. Seeing that Lin Mo's parents had brought so many gifts, Old Master Cang said: ”It's good as long as you're at home, there's no need to bring so many things.”
After seeing Old Master Cang, Dong Shuqin knew that Old Master Cang only had Cang Qing, his second son, at the age of forty-nine. Now that Cang Qing was thirty and Old Master Cang was seventy-nine, he was still full of spirit.
”I only brought some of the Qinhuang Island's specialties, it's not something valuable.”
The family sat down. As the commander, Old Master Cang's dignified aura made Dong Shuqin and — — a little nervous. But for her daughter, Dong Shuqin still pretended to be calm. After all, she couldn't lose a portion in front of the Cang family members.
Old Master Cang was very happy. He let Li Ma bring out the fine wine that he had treasured for sixty years, and once the seal was broken, the aroma of the wine would drift out. Cang Qing knew that Old Master had always been reluctant to drink this, but now he had actually brought it out.
Lin Mo was scared out of her wits from eating just one meal, she was afraid that the random bomb would explode out of nowhere and say something horrible that would ruin her family's dinner.
After the meal, he chatted with Dong Shuqin and Xue Nanshan for two hours. When he saw that it was getting late, Dong Shuqin got up and said her goodbyes. Old Master Cang personally sent them to the car before returning to their bedroom to rest.
Lin Mo followed Cang Qing back to the Cang family's bedroom. After sending off Xue Shao, Lin Mo's tense heart finally relaxed.
