Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Come, Call Me Mom and Let Me Hear It

If Zhou Shuyan and Xu Jingmin had heard Zhou Xueyi’s words, they would have admired his imagination.

Assistant: "..."

If you put it that way, the scope of investigation hasn’t been narrowed down at all. Mentioning those clues was as good as saying nothing.

But even if we investigate in the direction of office workers, the scope would still be vast.

Might as well check towards big families.

Xu Jingmin urged Zhou Shuyan to arrange a meeting between both parents. Zhou Shuyan planned to go to the Lu Family with Lu Youxi on their way to school tomorrow and talk to Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu about setting up the meeting.

Xu Jingmin quickly dragged Aunt Yao to go buy clothes.

"You have so many clothes, and you’re buying more?" According to Aunt Yao, any set of Xu Jingmin’s clothes was very dignified and suited for a meeting between both parents.

"Those clothes are too expensive," Xu Jingmin explained. "Didn’t Shuyan say our family is average, just a common household? We definitely can’t wear clothes that look expensive at a glance. Let’s go, let’s see if there are any discounted clothes at the mall."

"I’ve thought about it. Meeting the in-laws is a big deal, and we definitely need to dress appropriately. When other families encounter such events, don’t they also buy some nice, slightly pricier clothes?"

"That’s right," Aunt Yao nodded. "When my daughter got engaged, both families were meeting, and I specially went to the mall and bought a very expensive piece that I usually wouldn’t buy. I planned to wear it for important occasions only, and I hardly wear it otherwise."

"Exactly, that’s the standard we should go by; advise me on this." Xu Jingmin pulled Aunt Yao along.

Sunday afternoon, Zhou Shuyan arrived at the Lu Family.

He explained to Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu, "Dad, Mom, I wasn’t here these past two days because I went to pick up my mother."

Liu Yushu’s eyes lit up, "Is your mother’s health restored?"

"Almost," Zhou Shuyan said. "I didn’t tell her before because I was afraid she’d rush back before getting better. When I visited her yesterday, I told her about you being in the Imperial Capital for a while. She scolded me, asking why I didn’t tell her sooner, saying it was rude of her not to visit after you’ve been here so long. So she insisted on coming back early."

"Oh, that’s not good; taking care of her health is important. We live here and aren’t going anywhere," seeing the other party’s attitude, Liu Yushu’s mind was put at ease and she was no longer anxious.

"I can’t stop her," Zhou Shuyan said with a laugh. "After hearing you were here, my mom couldn’t wait to meet. Dad, Mom, when will you be free?"

Liu Yushu looked at Lu Zhenguo.

Mainly because Lu Zhenguo had been busy recently, supervising the renovation of an internet café.

The renovation was nearing its completion, so Lu Zhenguo had to keep a closer eye on it.

"We are free anytime, depending on the mother-in-law," Lu Zhenguo quickly said.

"How about this Saturday?" Zhou Shuyan suggested. "The construction team is also off on Saturdays, and dad won’t have to supervise."

Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu readily agreed.

Zhou Shuyan was visibly pleased, "I’ll make reservations at the restaurant."

No matter how Lu Youxi was secretly making faces at Zhou Shuyan, he pretended not to see them.

"Dad, Mom, I need to go to school now." Lu Youxi, with her backpack, hurriedly pulled Zhou Shuyan out.

Once they were downstairs, Lu Youxi said to Zhou Shuyan, "What’s going on? Why did you suddenly arrange a meeting between the two families?"

Progress had reached the level of the parents meeting; wouldn’t it be more troublesome if they got divorced later?

They would have to explain to both parents, and there’s a chance they would be persuaded to reconcile.

Zhou Shuyan sighed, looking resigned, "My mom found the household registration book."

Lu Youxi: "..."

A bad premonition arose.

"My mom wanted to use the household registration book to apply for a passport yesterday, and when she made a copy, she discovered Youxue and you," Zhou Shuyan gave Lu Youxi a knowing look. "Also, our relationship is listed as ’married’ on the household registration book. It was hard for her not to notice it."

Lu Youxi: "..."

"I had no choice but to tell her everything," Zhou Shuyan spread his hands and explained. "My mom was actually willing to play along—just tell her the truth, and she can help us."

Lu Youxi hadn’t expected Zhou Shuyan to tell the truth, "Didn’t my aunt blame me?"

"Of course not, she thinks I did the right thing," Zhou Shuyan smiled. "Moreover, my parents have always been thinking about meeting my mom. We could only delay it temporarily; if we continued postponing, they would start assuming the worst. It’s better to meet and put their minds at ease."

Now it was Lu Youxi who felt embarrassed, "It’s because of me that not only you’re troubled, but even your mother is troubled."

"You need to change how you address her," Zhou Shuyan said earnestly.

Lu Youxi looked at him unexpectedly, change how?

"You should call her ’Mom’," Zhou Shuyan reminded her with a gentle smile. "Get used to calling her that, otherwise, you might slip up in front of the elders and arouse suspicion."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Could it be that Zhou Shuyan had practiced calling her parents ’mom and dad’ this way?

Lu Youxi had just thought of this when she heard Zhou Shuyan say, "I usually call our parents quite often, that’s why I sound so natural."

Lu Youxi: "..."

"Come on, say ’Mom’ and let me hear it," Zhou Shuyan said to Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi suddenly stopped, and Zhou Shuyan stopped as well.

As Lu Youxi turned to face Zhou Shuyan and looked up at him, her lips met briefly before saying, "Mom."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

He looked down and saw the uncontrollable amusement in Lu Youxi’s eyes.

Since Zhou Shuyan had caught her red-handed, Lu Youxi simply stopped hiding it, her eyes curving proudly as she openly gloated. She had deliberately teased Zhou Shuyan just now.

Zhou Shuyan’s eyes slightly curved, smiling indulgently.

He slowly raised his hand, and under Lu Youxi’s shift from a mischievously happy to slightly surprised expression, his palm landed on the top of her head.

Zhou Shuyan ruffled Lu Youxi’s hair a bit, saying, "Good, keep practicing like this, so it sounds natural when you meet my mom."

Caught off guard by his words, Lu Youxi blushed, her body stiffening a bit.

Not until Zhou Shuyan removed his hand did Lu Youxi awkwardly turn around and continue walking, her nervous steps now unnatural.

"Where did you buy your wedding ring?" Zhou Shuyan suddenly asked.

Lu Youxi wondered why Zhou Shuyan was suddenly asking about this, but replied, "Just on a street next to our school, there’s a small jewelry shop."

Zhou Shuyan thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you have time to take me there today?"

Lu Youxi: "... What are you planning?"

Zhou Shuyan glanced at the silver ring on her left ring finger, which, though made of silver, Lu Youxi had kept so well-polished and shiny that it hadn’t oxidized or turned black.
