Chapter 41 Zheng Xinyao's Mother's Attitude
"Zhang Zeyan, I've arrived in Nandu."
That day, Zhang Zeyan received a call from Zheng Xinyao.
"Why did you come to Nandu? Did your aunt come with you?" Zhang Zeyan asked hurriedly.
These past few days, Zheng Xinyao has been calling him almost every day.
After Zhang Zeyan's exam results came out, Zheng Xinyao was the first person to call and congratulate him, so she naturally knew that he was currently in Nandu City.
"Of course my mom came too! Our whole crew came. The crew is filming in Nandu," Zheng Xinyao said happily over the phone.
She was happy because Zhang Zeyan was also in Southern Metropolis Daily.
"Zhang Zeyan, are you at school right now? I know a place with really good food, let's go have a meal there!" Zheng Xinyao said on the phone.
"Is Auntie going?" Zhang Zeyan asked.
Now that it was dark, he decided that if it was just Zheng Xinyao alone, he would absolutely not go.
"Of course my mom is going!" Zheng Xinyao said, sounding a little annoyed.
Her mother was extremely controlling and would never allow her to go out alone late at night, let alone go out to eat with a man.
"Auntie, you can come along? Okay, sure." Zhang Zeyan agreed with a smile.
Since Zheng Xinyao's mother is also going, there's not much more to say.
"Zhang Zeyan, why do you keep mentioning my mom? And you seem really happy that she's going?" Zheng Xinyao asked with a hint of doubt. "You wouldn't happen to... like my mom, would you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zeyan couldn't help but spit out the water he had just drunk.
"Ahem... Zheng Xinyao, what did you say?"
Zhang Zeyan's tone was very unfriendly.
"I was just kidding!" Zheng Xinyao's slightly guilty voice came from the other end of the phone.
Before Zhang Zeyan could speak, Zheng Xinyao continued, "Wait for me at the school gate at six o'clock tonight, and we'll come pick you up then."
"Alright!"
Zhang Zeyan checked the time; it was only a little past four in the afternoon. There was still more than an hour to go.
After talking for a while, the two hung up the phone.
Zhang Zeyan arrived at the school gate before six o'clock in the afternoon.
A few minutes past six, a flying car stopped at the school gate.
"Zhang Zeyan, over here!"
As soon as the flying car came to a stop, Zhang Zeyan saw Zheng Xinyao, the co-pilot, waving at him.
"They're here!"
Zhang Zeyan approached and saw Zheng Xinyao's mother, Zheng Xiaoli, in the back row.
Without hesitation, he opened the back door and got in.
As soon as he got into the car, Zhang Zeyan smelled a subtle fragrance emanating from a mature woman.
"Hello, Auntie!"
Zhang Zeyan quickly greeted Zheng Xinyao's mother, Zheng Xiaoli, who was in the car.
"Yes, you're welcome."
Zheng Xiaoli smiled and nodded at Zhang Zeyan. She subtly sized him up, and then her eyes lit up.
"Zhang Zeyan, why didn't you greet me?" Zheng Xinyao turned her head from front to back and asked Zhang Zeyan.
"Didn't I answer when you called me?" Zhang Zeyan looked bewildered.
"I mean, why didn't you say hello to me?" Zheng Xinyao continued.
"Hello, Zheng Xinyao!" Zhang Zeyan said irritably.
"Hmph! Just going through the motions!"
"Let's go quickly," Zheng Xiaoli urged from the side.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xinyao started the flying car and left.
"Zhang Zeyan, have you completed your enrollment procedures yet?" Zheng Xinyao turned to Zhang Zeyan and asked.
"It's all taken care of," Zhang Zeyan nodded.
"You're amazing! The first person in history to score a perfect 750 on a major exam! I only got less than 400. I wish I had a score like yours!"
Upon hearing Zheng Xinyao's words, Zheng Xiaoli in the back row immediately retorted, "Stop daydreaming! Getting you to study is like taking your life away. How can you compare to Zhang Zeyan?"
"Mom! I'm your daughter!" Zheng Xinyao said in a slightly disgruntled, coquettish tone.
"If you weren't my daughter, I would have kicked you out."
"Hmph! I'm ignoring you." Zheng Xinyao pretended to be angry and turned her head away, ignoring everyone.
Less than three seconds later, she turned to Zhang Zeyan and asked, "Zhang Zeyan, what kind of food do you like to eat?"
"I'm fine with anything," Zhang Zeyan replied.
The food in this world is much more abundant than that on Earth, and he loves to eat everything.
"Stir-fried pork ribs, braised pork chop, braised pork belly... Do you like these?" Zheng Xinyao rattled off a long list of dishes.
"I like it." Zhang Zeyan nodded.
"Great! I like it too. These are all my favorite dishes!" Zheng Xinyao said with a smile.
She could tell that Zhang Zeyan liked the food she liked, which made her very happy.
In the back row, Zheng Xiaoli saw her daughter's expression and couldn't help but rub her forehead.
Her daughter's attitude of giving away so readily was really embarrassing for her.
Today, Zheng Xinyao would never have agreed to go out to dinner with Zhang Zeyan.
The main reason she agreed to let her daughter go out to eat with Zhang Zeyan was because Zhang Zeyan was the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
If Zhang Zeyan was just an ordinary person before, he was not good enough for her daughter.
So after Zhang Zeyan becomes the top scorer in the college entrance examination, he will be more than qualified to be with her daughter.
However, Zheng Xiaoli discovered that Zhang Zeyan didn't seem to have much interest in her daughter.
You can't hide the look in someone's eyes when they like them, just like her daughter, whose eyes are practically glued to Zhang Zeyan.
Compared to her daughter, Zhang Zeyan's gaze towards her daughter was very calm.
In the back row, Zheng Xiaoli couldn't help but observe Zhang Zeyan again and again.
She had to admit that Zhang Zeyan was incredibly handsome; no wonder her daughter fell for him at first sight. She liked such a handsome guy too.
If it weren't for her age and the fact that the other person was someone her daughter liked, she would never have missed this opportunity.
"What am I thinking?"
Zheng Xiaoli shook her head, as if trying to shake away the unhealthy thoughts in her mind.
However, smelling the man's scent beside her and seeing his incredibly handsome face, her heart still couldn't help but pound.
In the back row, Zhang Zeyan chatted casually with Zheng Xinyao, but he keenly observed that Zheng Xiaoli seemed to be watching him from time to time.
This feeling gave him the illusion of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
It seems I can't have any real-life contact with Zheng Xinyao anymore. If Zheng Xiaoli doesn't stop her daughter from being with him, who knows how desperately Zheng Xinyao will pester him.
He didn't want to be tied down by Zheng Xinyao alone.
Given Zheng Xiaoli's upbringing, she would never allow Zhang Zeyan to be with her daughter and then have affairs with other women.
"arrive!"
The flying car stopped at a temporary platform on a building over thirty stories high.
"Zhang Zeyan, put this mask on." Zheng Xiaoli handed Zhang Zeyan a mask.
"Thank you, Auntie," Zhang Zeyan said, then quickly put his mask back on.
Zheng Xinyao was also wearing a mask in front of her.
The three got out of the car, and the flying car quickly flew away.
"Zhang Zeyan, the food here is delicious..." Zheng Xinyao said to Zhang Zeyan as she led the way.
Soon, the three arrived at a restaurant, which was bustling with customers and filled with lively chatter.
"Let's go straight to the private room; I booked it a long time ago."
Led by Zheng Xinyao, the three of them soon arrived at the private room with the help of the staff.
After the three arrived at the private room, the dishes were served immediately.
In less than a few minutes, all the dishes were served.
Only then did the three of them take off their masks.
