Lies and Deception

  Su Zi said innocently: "What did I do to you?" I didn't do anything bad!

  "Didn't you say you'd take my mom to the airport? How did she end up at the hospital? My mom is coming, why didn't you tell me in advance? Do you know that my mom met Cheng Liyang?! The point isn't about meeting, but rather, at that time Cheng Liyang was taking liberties with her daughter! And her daughter not only didn't resist, but also warmly welcomed him."

  Su Zi said with a stunned expression: "Didn't Cheng Liyang go back to rest this morning? Why did he come again at noon?"

  Liu Qingyan's face turned bitter: "How was I supposed to know he'd suddenly gone crazy again?" And it was still a restricted level, no less. What was even more depressing was that at the most passionate and fiery moment, they were caught red-handed by Liu's mom!

  Don't even mention how embarrassing it was! Mrs. Liu's old face turned red! Later, later, Liu Qingyan was scolded by He Dong! Cheng Liyang, on the other hand, had his ancestors for eight generations all cleared up.

  Su Zi said with a stifled smile: "I didn't expect Cheng Liyang to come, your mom asked me to substitute for you on a blind date and I forgot to call you in time to tell you that your mom was coming." Who let you two sneak around! You've been caught red-handed, haven't you?!

  "Blind date?" Liu Qingyan almost jumped up: "How's the blind date going?"

  "You absolutely can't guess who your grandma has matched you with! It's Song Qingchen!" This is really shocking to death!

  Liu Qingyan's eyes widened: "Is it him?" Life is indeed full of unexpected surprises.

  Su Zi said with a smile: "Song Qingchen also said that he is very satisfied with today's blind date. It seems that he has taken a liking to you."

  Liu Qingyan exploded in anger: "Ghost! You want to see it, I saw it hundreds of millions of years ago, can you still wait until today?!"

  Su Zi nodded: "That's also true! Let me tell you, for these two months, he was forced by his mother to go on blind dates every day, from morning till night, all booked up! Do you know what kind of daughter-in-law Xie Rumei wants? It's scary just thinking about it."

  Liu Qingyan said: "Sister has already reached the realm of God! Mortals can't scare her!"

  "Su Zi said in a clear voice: 'Xie Rumei's daughter-in-law requirements are as follows: 1. Those under 160 cm tall, with dark skin, too fat or too thin are not allowed; 2. Those with education level lower than undergraduate degree are not allowed; 3. Those who have had pre-marital cohabitation are not allowed; 4. Those with bad temper are not allowed, beautiful women will leave, if only bad temper is left, it's a disaster.'"

  "5. No nearsightedness; 6. No mismatched doors and houses; 7. No broken family background! 8. Those who don't respect the elderly or love children, and don't prioritize their husbands are not wanted; 9. Those who can't get along with their mother-in-law are not wanted! 10. No giving birth to daughters!"

  Liu Qingyan was struck by the outside and tender inside: "This is a rare find! I'm responsible for saying that with her requirements, it's impossible to find in the mortal world, and there's no need to hope for the divine realm either. Let her go to the underworld to take a look. Anyway, she didn't say no to female ghosts!"

  "I'm at a loss, everything else is fine, although it's a bit strict, but I can still understand. But the last point, those who give birth to daughters are not allowed, I just can't figure it out! The girl hasn't even slept with his son yet, how can she tell whether they will have a boy or a girl?"

  Su Ziyan also expressed the same confusion!

  Liu Qingyan shook her head: "I think Song Qingchen is a good person, how can he have such an extreme mother? Is this his real mother?"

  Su Zi sighed: "As far as I know, it's her biological mother. Actually, Xie Rumei is not a bad person, she just talks too much and has some weird views on life. She values Song Qingchen too highly, probably because of her early widowhood. She puts all her hopes and happiness in life on Song Qingchen."

  "There's a mother like that, Song Qingchen is really miserable. Who would dare to marry a good family's daughter in the future? Marrying into their family, wouldn't she be tortured to death? With a mother-in-law like that, don't even think about living a peaceful life. How could my grandmother have chosen them? Is she getting old and muddled? Isn't this sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?"

  "What a good young man has fallen into the tiger's mouth! Song Qingchen is a good young man, isn't he? He doesn't smoke, drink or gamble, and he can even cook! He has a good temper, good character, good physique, earns a lot of money, has a house and a car, and no bad habits! He takes care of himself, and he doesn't have a girlfriend or boyfriend! He's a trustworthy lifelong partner!"

  As for that extreme mother, okay, it's a problem! However, nowadays the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem is common all over China! "And people will change too! Look at my mother-in-law, didn't she used to be just as picky and critical? But now, she's much better. Maybe in the future Xie Rumei will also change."

  Liu Qingyan said, "Your mother-in-law is a good example! What a good example! Moreover, don't look at how she's treating you relatively well now, if it really involves her son's lifelong interests, she definitely won't stand on your side!"

  "I'm already very satisfied! After all, a mother-in-law is not one's own mother!" One should be content and happy with what they have!

  Liu Qingyan suddenly looked at Su Ziyu with new eyes: "You're quite open-minded! This attitude is not bad, keep it up." Then she glanced at the time on her phone and said: "It's getting late, you should head back early, don't make Liu Dongnan unhappy. Also, when you get back, think carefully about what I told you, if there are problems between husband and wife, they need to be resolved, don't pretend not to care but secretly suspect each other!"

  "Alright. I'll wait for Cheng Laiyang to arrive before I leave. I don't feel at ease leaving you alone here." But I promised your mom that I would take good care of you.

  Liu Qingyan waved her hand: "No need, he'll be here soon. I'm a bit sleepy too, lie down and rest for a while, you go back first. If there's anything inconvenient, there are nurses anyway."

  Su Ziyan went back, Liu Dongnan hadn't returned yet. Su Ziyan took a bath and made a phone call to him. Liu Dongnan said he was still in a meeting and might be late coming back.

  "Then don't get too tired, I'll wait for you to come back."

  Liu Dongnan grunted and hung up the phone.

  Su Ziyan took a bath, lay on the bed, and began to think about what Liu Qingyan said. The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Later, when he was drowsy and about to fall asleep, he suddenly remembered that next Wednesday would be the ninth anniversary of his relationship with Liu Dongnan. Hmm, how should they celebrate?

  Su Ziyan attaches great importance to this memorial day because she has decided to put down everything in the past and start anew with Liu Dongnan.

  Su Zi spent the whole afternoon deciding what to wear, and then went to pick up a specially ordered gift. She arrived at the Liu Group in high spirits, hoping to surprise Liu Dongnan.

  Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Su Ziyuan who got a fright. Just as she was about to get off the bus, she saw Liu Dongnan and Su Shuihe walking out of the company together, crossing the road, and entering a hotel to open a room. The time was 4:10 pm, which was exactly when Liu Dongnan should have been at work.

  Su Zi couldn't believe her eyes, this can't be!

  She took out her mobile phone and dialed Liu Dongnan's number. It was answered by his secretary, Wang Xiaozhen: "President Liu is in an emergency meeting."

  Su Ziyan didn't believe it was true. If Liu Dongnan was in a meeting at the company, then who just went to the hotel to open a room? Could she have been seeing things? Was she hallucinating? That figure was absolutely one of the two of them, no question. Even if it wasn't Liu Dongnan, but Su Shuihe, even if she had turned into ashes, Su Ziyan would still recognize her.
