The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Chapter 272 – And she was that lucky person! (2)

Ms. Lin Ping was right! We shouldn’t be scums! (How dare you eavesdrop on the conversation between the mother and daughter?)

When the entire world knew that they were a pair, anyone who was a real man should stand up and take on the responsibility!

With a righteous look, Lu Xun looked like he had just made a major decision. He thrusted the ring in front of Lin Yiyi and said, “Let’s get married!”

Lin Yiyi, “… …”

What the heck was this “let’s get married”?!

No fresh flowers? No down on one knee. Not even the super mushy, “Will you please marry me?”

How was this a proposal?!

“Besides, are we that familiar with each other already?”

To get to the point of getting married, they should at least have known each other for some three to five years?

With her phone in her hand, Ms. Lin Ping was trying to talk some sense into her from the other end of the phone. “You need to keep your own age in mind. It is hard enough to find someone decent. What more are you waiting for?”

You are going to be almost 40 years old in another three to five years. What was the point of being in a relationship and getting married then? You might as well skip straight to romance in your golden years!

Everything was going so well! Ms. Lin Ping hadn’t expected that her own daughter would be the one who ruined this!

Ms. Lin Ping very much wanted to slam on her chest and stomp her feet.

Lin Yiyi complained to her mother expressionlessly, “Mom, that was so not your tune before!”

Ms. Lin Ping was stumped.

The phone call between the mother and daughter ended in displeasure.

As soon as this call ended, Lu Xun picked up his phone while sitting properly.

Mother-in-laws in China were sure shrewd.

They were the gatekeepers of marriages!

A humorous story on the internet went something like this:- a boy and a girl went climbing. When they reached the peak of the mountain, the girl shouted at the sky, “Oh! My mother country, my mother!” When the boy heard her, he quickly shouted, “Oh! My mother country, my mother-in-law!” That ought to show the importance of a mother-in-law in the mind of boys! If a boy wanted to marry his girlfriend, they not only needed their girlfriend’s consent, they also needed their future mother-in-law’s.

Lu Xun had natural respect for Ms. Lin Ping.

As a successful female entrepreneur, her business acumen and her success stories deserved a lot of respect, let alone that fact that she was also Lin Yiyi’s mother in addition to that.

The pressure was doubled!

Luckily, she wasn’t an irrational one.

The-extremely-rational Ms. Lin Ping was educating her official son-in-law over the phone, “Look at you. How old are you now? How did you manage to botch your own proposal?”

Lu Xun, “……”

He felt he was being treated very unfairly!

“What did you do with the gold opportunity when you were in Maldives?”

Why else would she go to a different island if not to give the two of them more time to spend together?

What a waste of all of her effort?!

Ms. Lin Ping had most likely forgotten that she only begrudgingly visited a different island because the island that Lin Yiyi was at was booked full.

Naturally, you couldn’t possibly try to reason with this old lady.

Ms. Lin Ping was quite professional, however. After her “lecture”, she began giving him pointers.

With one wanting to teach and the other one very eager to learn, the two of them got along exceptionally well with each other.

From a certain perspective, it wasn’t that difficult to bring Ms. Lin Ping onto his side.

Even though it seemed very difficult for Lu Xun at first, as long as he was sincere and genuine, and proactive in his ways, he could score a lot of points. Even if Ms. Lin Ping wouldn’t say that out loud because of her stubbornness, she was quite pleased deep down inside.

Well after Lin Yiyi heard the proposal, she found out that the two of them were “in cahoots” with each other.
