Chapter 062…
Jing Li was half-dragged and half-carried by Jing Ran to a high-end residential community. Jing Ran didn’t come here often, so he didn’t have the access card for the community. The security guard at the gate asked for the room number: “Going to Haojing Pavilion, 12A.”
The guard, who was preventing people from posting small advertisements, asked, “What’s the owner’s surname for 12A?”
“Jing.”
The guard opened the side door and let Jing Ran and Jing Li into the community.
In fact, Jing Li still wanted to escape. She felt that people in Jing Ran’s family were all important figures, and she was nervous and scared, especially since she wasn’t mentally prepared for it.
Jing Ran bound her waist with his hand, not letting her escape, and sighed, saying, “Lili, if you act like this, my mom will think I kidnapped a respectable woman back home.”
“Respectable woman, my foot! I’m a young girl!”
Jing Li was a little annoyed by Jing Ran’s words, and temporarily forgot about being nervous.
Jing Li was a bit worried and asked hypothetically, “Ranran, will your mom like me? What if she’s like the wealthy wives in TV dramas, who would pay me to leave you?”
Jing Ran remembered that before he met Jing Li, after he went to college, besides wanting him to get along with Li Xueqing, Jing Ran’s mother also introduced him to several girls who were around his age and were daughters of some of Jing Ran’s mother’s subordinates, some of them were not as good as Jing Li.
At that time, Jing Ran had a shadow on girls and didn’t want to have much contact with them, especially with Li Xueqing. Jing Ran’s mother thought that Li Xueqing, being beautiful and intelligent, was the best choice for a daughter-in-law, but Jing Ran ignored her completely.
Jing Ran’s mother was distressed to see her son, who was only in his early twenties, being so unrefined, introverted, and stubborn. How could he not be interested in women?
Later, Jing Ran’s mother heard from others that some introverted men like lolita-type girls. When she saw how Jing Ran was different around his little cousin compared to other girls his age, she speculated that he might be interested in lolita-types. So, she asked her little cousin to introduce some female classmates to Jing Ran.
When Jing Ran found out that his mother asked his little cousin to introduce potential dates, he was at a loss for words. Three years ago, his little cousin was only twelve years old, just graduating from elementary school!
At that time, he was about to enter university, almost an adult. He really didn’t understand what his mother was thinking, setting him up with an elementary school student.
“Lili, your mom didn’t even offer me money to leave you,” Jing Ran said matter-of-factly.
“How can this be compared…” Jing Li’s mother was a flatterer. Seeing that Jing Ran was even more handsome than the new male stars, she was eager to please him. At that dinner party, Jing Li’s mother took many photos, mostly of Jing Ran. Jing Li heard from her father that her mother was bragging at work, saying that her future son-in-law looked like this.
Despite Jing Ran’s good grades and his indifference to how others mocked him for being unsophisticated and dull, he still had his own pride. In reality, he felt a little insecure. In the past, he overheard his grandmother and neighbors talking about finding a match for him. Everyone knew Jing Ran was an obedient and clever child, but there were still plenty of excuses. Jing Ran could still tell that the parent disliked him.
The girls introduced by Jing Ran’s mother were willing to be around him because they knew he was the grandson of a big boss.
When Jing Ran refused to change his hairstyle while being asked by Jing Li, Lili said her mother liked handsome guys, but Jing Ran was too unsophisticated, and her mother might not approve of their relationship. So, Jing Ran obediently got a haircut and changed his style.
He was truly afraid that Lili’s mother wouldn’t approve of their relationship, after all, Lili was a good girl, and parents always want their children to be with someone who meets their approval.
Jing Ran raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, saying, “Lili, my mom thinks that if a girl is willing to be with me, she will agree.”
Jing Li: “…”
Based on Jing Ran’s previous image, it’s inevitable that Jing Ran’s mother really thinks so.
Jing Ran and Jing Li arrived at a residential building in the community, and there was an intercom next to the glass door in the lobby. Jing Ran approached the intercom, but before he pressed their own doorbell, someone inside happened to push open the glass door.
Jing Li held open the glass door and said, “Ranran, you can go in now.”
When they entered the elevator, Jing Li looked at the mirror inside the elevator. Jing Ran was carrying a gift, and she was holding a bouquet of flowers. It’s strange to go as a guest with a bouquet of flowers…
Anyway, whether to hold it or throw it away is not the point.
They arrived on the 12th floor, and Jing Li followed Jing Ran to Apartment A. Jing Ran rang the doorbell.
Soon, someone inside opened the door, and a beautiful and dignified woman stood in front of them.
Jing Ran’s mother was surprised for a moment, “You guys…” Suddenly, an unfamiliar pair of young and beautiful men and women appeared at the door, which seemed strange to her.
“Mom, I’m Ranran, and this is my girlfriend Lili,” Jing Ran introduced.
There was also a little girl inside the house who intended to go from the living room to the kitchen to find something to eat. She glanced at the entrance and saw a handsome guy outside the door. She walked over and said, “Wow… it’s Ranran, how come he’s become so handsome? Did he go to Korea for plastic surgery and come back?”
“You’re the one who had plastic surgery!” Jing Ran retorted to Cheng Lu.
Cheng Lu glanced at Jing Li, who was petite and cute, with a mysterious smile: “I thought you had some kind of shock that made you change your image, turns out you have a girlfriend. Tsk tsk tsk… I knew it, how could a blockhead like you suddenly become enlightened.”
Jing Ran introduced to Jing Li, “This is my mother, and this is my cousin Cheng Lu.”
Jing Li politely greeted Jing Ran’s mother, “Auntie, my name is Jing Li.”
“Alright, alright…” After Jing Ran’s mother finished greeting Jing Li, she looked at Jing Ran with a somewhat incredulous feeling: “Is it really Ranran?”
Jing Ran’s mother suddenly reached out his hand, stemming from his grandmother and grandma’s too unrestrained style. Jing Ran took a step back while his mother hadn’t made the next move, standing behind Jing Li.
Jing Li suppressed a smile. Their family was really amusing sometimes, always reenacting a birthmark recognition, especially when the little prince had a heart-shaped birthmark on his buttocks, which was the funniest.
Perhaps Jing Ran, a dignified 1.85-meter tall man, was so childish because he had a heart-shaped birthmark on his buttocks?
Jing Ran’s mother just wanted to touch Jing Ran’s handsome face. She really couldn’t imagine her son changing his image so much. Seeing Jing Ran avoiding her and hiding behind his girlfriend, she pouted and said unwillingly, “You won’t even let me touch it!”
Jing Ran childishly replied, “No!”
Jing Ran’s mother scornfully said, “Oh, having a girlfriend means you don’t want your mom anymore?”
Jing Li stood awkwardly between the two mother and son.
Jing Ran’s mother looked at Jing Li holding a bunch of pink roses, thinking it was a gift for the visit, and said with a smile, “Lili is so thoughtful, these roses are really beautiful.”
Jing Rang added from the side, “These are for Lili’s Valentine’s Day gift, not for you.”
Jing Ran’s mother: “…”
“This is for you.” Jing Ran handed the gift bag to Jing Ran’s mother.
Jing Ran took Jing Li into the house, which was a duplex, luxuriously decorated, with every detail exuding the smell of RMB. Jing Li thought to herself, wealthy families are really different.
There were several people in the living room, in addition to the grandparents, there were also two middle-aged men and a woman.
Jing Li first politely greeted Jing Ran’s grandparents, “Hello, Grandpa and Grandma.”
Grandma smiled and asked, “Lili, are you on holiday today too?”
“Yes,” Jing Li glanced at Grandpa, and he also smiled at her. She never thought that the professor often talked in class about how Jing Daying created the Hai Xin Chain Hotel, and never expected him to be such a kind old man.
“Lili, this is my dad, aunt, and uncle.”
Jing Li greeted each of the elders one by one.
Today was the monthly family gathering of the Jing family, but after the Chinese New Year, Jing Ran’s father and mother were very busy with work and had not held one for three months. It just happened to be held this month, and upon learning that Jing Ran had a girlfriend, They asked Jing Ran to brought his girlfriend to meet the family.
Although the Jing Ran’s family is wealthy, everyone in the family is more casual and down-to-earth. Grandpa Jing and Grandma Jing have both experienced hardship and come out from the countryside, starting from scratch and establishing one hotel after another. They never spoiled Jing Ran’s father and aunt, teaching them to be practical and hardworking.
Jing Ran’s mother comes from an affluent family, with a cheerful and casual personality, unlike the wealthy and difficult behaviors portrayed in TV dramas.
Jing Ran’s mother and father are often not at home, so there are no hired workers at home, and dinner is prepared by Jing Ran’s father and uncle together.
The others were all sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting.
Jing Ran’s mother casually asked, “Lili, can you cook?”
Jing Li felt a little embarrassed and said, “No, Ranran said he would teach me to cook, but I haven’t had time to learn yet.” Jing Li remembered that she hadn’t been to Grandma’s house since she came back from the beach.
After hearing this, Jing Ran’s mother ridiculed Jing Ran, “Tsk tsk, teaching your girlfriend to cook? Planning to teach her to serve you? How thoughtful…”
Jing Ran: “…”
After dinner, Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt’s family left the Jing family, and Jing Ran’s mother went to tidy up the guest room for Jing Li to rest.
Jing Ran stopped his mother who was going to the guest room and said, “Mom, no need to tidy up, you can share a room with Lili.”
Jing Ran’s mother reacted strongly, “How can that be!”
Jing Rang asked, “Why not?”
Jing Ran’s mother explained, “Lili is a grown girl. If people find out that she slept with you, what will they say about her in the future? Why don’t you think about your girlfriend’s reputation?”
Yesterday, Jing Ran took Jing Li to stay at a small hotel, and it’s likely that students from the same school saw them, so they probably don’t have a good reputation anymore.
Jing Ran and Jing Li watched Jing Ran’s mother stubbornly walk to the guest room to tidy up. Jing Li looked at Jing Ran who had a pitiful expression and she reached out to touch the stray hair on his forehead, saying, “It’s okay.”
Jing Ran looked at Jing Li with a pitiful expression and said, “Lili, when you said I could touch the little bun tonight, does it have to be tonight? Can it be postponed to next week?” Because they have to go back to school tomorrow, Jing Ran feels that there’s no chance tonight and tomorrow, so he wants to ask if it’s possible to postpone it to next weekend.
Jing Li: “…”
