Chapter 37: Meeting the Mother-in-law
Outside the mansion of Lee Hye-won's family, Bo Xiaoye really didn't expect that there would be such a magnificent mansion in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
"Oba, what's going on with what I asked you to remember?" Before entering the door, Li Huiyuan and Bo Xiaoye had one last crosstalk.
"Don't worry, I came to Seoul last year to go to school, I studied art at Seoul National University, my mom teaches music, my dad is an engineer, and everything else is fine." Li Huiyuan smiled and gave Bo Xiaoye a flying kiss, then grabbed Bo Xiaoye's arm, and the two officially entered the house as a "couple".
After getting the news, Jin Lixiu, who was at home after pushing away all other itineraries, sat upright in the main living room, showing the majesty and strength of the head of the family and the strong woman - after all, she felt that the beautiful daughter that the old lady had worked so hard to bring up and the family business that she had worked so hard to build for decades could not be given away casually, not to mention that she was not the person she chose.
"Mom, I miss you so much!" Li Huiyuan was quiet and well-behaved in front of Jin Lixiu, and when she entered the door, she was an intimate hug, and in the face of her daughter's coquettishness, Jin Lixiu couldn't hide her motherly nature, "Then I haven't come back for so long, if I hadn't said I wanted to see your boyfriend, would you have to go home until Christmas." ”
"Mom, this is my boyfriend, Bo Xiaoye, a Chinese student." Li Huiyuan introduced her fake boyfriend, while the little bird snuggled up to Bo Xiaoye's shoulder, Bo Xiaoye cooperated and thought to herself, this little girl not only has the appearance of being able to debut as a star, but even her acting skills are online.
Jin Lixiu sat on the main seat, looked Bo Xiaoye up and down, and said in Chinese, "Hello." Bo Xiaoye knew that Kim Lixiu was very Chinese, so he was not surprised that she greeted her in Chinese, but Kim Lixiu's next words in Korean were not so friendly.
"I think you know very well the situation of our family Huiyuan, and you generally understand me, I didn't let her fall in love casually since I was a child because I was afraid that she would meet a man who was as irresponsible as her father, originally I arranged for her to meet Huiyuan and my good friend's son, that child is very good, is the youngest prosecutor in the Republic of Korea, and I also watched grow up, but Huiyuan said that she already has a boyfriend, or Chinese, originally I didn't agree with her to casually date a boy without my permission, not to mention a foreigner, But I myself have a deep affection for China, so I agreed to her to bring you back to meet. ”
After listening to his mother-in-law's teachings, Bo Xiaoye instantly felt that he was fortunate to be here today, completely stained with the light of the motherland, and he didn't know if this was a thigh.
Li Huiyuan may feel that her mother spoke a little too much, and just wanted to speak, but was pressed back by Jin Lixiu again, "But I also hope you know that although I like China, it doesn't mean that my son-in-law must be Chinese, and I still have to ask about your interaction with Huiyuan." ”
"Auntie, don't worry, I will always receive your supervision." While Bo Xiaoye catered to Jin Lixiu's attitude, he also secretly sympathized with his "girlfriend", and it was enough pressure to have such a strong mother.
After Kim Li-so, who was the first to salute, clarified her attitude, the serious atmosphere was also eased, but after a few casual conversations, Kim Li-so suddenly said, "I heard that you studied art at Seoul National University?" I've been painting some oil paintings in my spare time lately, and I still have a sketchpad at home, so why don't you show off your chemical industry? ”
Hearing this request of her own mother, Li Huiyuan almost swallowed the mango in her hand whole, secretly calling this bad, in order to please her mother, who usually likes art, lied to her that Bo Xiaoye studied art, but in this way, it is better to say that he is learning Chinese! So she nervously held Bo Xiaoye's hand tightly, for fear of revealing her stuffing.
At the same time as he picked up the brush, the intelligent chip in his brain was also activated, and his mind was like a high-speed browser, flashing a variety of exquisite oil paintings, and the brush in his hand was also like a divine help, quickly sketching a beautiful "sunset map of the Han River" on the drawing board.
When Bo Xiaoye finished the painting, Li Huiyuan's mother and daughter were shocked at the same time, Jin Lixiu was deeply impressed by Bo Xiaono's exquisite painting skills, and sighed that a college student's temporary works even exceeded all the oil painting teachers she knew, and Li Huiyuan looked at her fake boyfriend with admiration, wondering if he was an alien disguised as an earthling.
"Oops, I didn't expect Ono's painting to be so good, it seems that he must be a good student who usually works very well, if there is a need in the future, I can help you contact the gallery for your work!" Jin Lixiu's tone was obviously much more accommodating and polite than before, and she instructed the maid at home to fetch the fine tea she had bought in China and brew it.
In the ensuing conversation, Bo Xiaoye casually extracted information points about South Korea from his brain at any moment, as well as his views on the development trend of the shipbuilding industry, and chatted with Jin Lixiu without obstacles, making his "mother-in-law" more and more appreciative of the erudition of his son-in-law.
"Stay and finish eating, I'll cook Korean food for you myself, it's not made by the chefs of Hyewon's hotels!" Jin Lixiu, who looked at her son-in-law more and more, simply put down the hostess's shelf and went to the back kitchen to cook in person, which was a courtesy that Li Huiyuan, as a daughter, had not seen for many years.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten my mother's food, Oba, you're so good!" Li Huiyuan excitedly gave Bo Xiaoye a big kiss on the cheek.
"Your mother is really hard to deal with." Bo Ono pretended to have a palpitating look.
"I've never seen my mom so passionate about anyone, and it seems that she really likes you." Li Huiyuan's words reminded Bo Xiaoye that it would be really difficult to handle Jin Lixiu if he really took him seriously.
During the meal, Jin Lixiu vigorously gave Bo Xiaoye vegetables, which made Bo Xiaoye very overwhelmed.
"Ono, after you two get married, do you plan to live in Korea or China?" Jin Lixiu's question almost didn't choke Bo Xiaoye to death, thinking that this is also progressing too fast! Even if it's a real couple, I didn't take it back to see my parents for the first time to study marriage, and in desperation, Bo Xiaoye could only say perfunctorily, "Ah...... I haven't thought about it, I haven't graduated yet, and I can't be sure about a lot of things. ”
"Actually, I can do it in South Korea or China, I will strengthen cooperation with China in the future, and a lot of business will have to move to China, and many things will be taken care of by my son-in-law at that time." Jin Lixiu's long-awaited future made Bo Ono more and more confused the more he listened, and it seemed that he had been appointed as his son-in-law.
"Your country is great, full of vitality, when I went to China, I saw that young people are working hard to study and start a business, unlike young people in South Korea, who have no enterprising spirit, they all want to be stars, our family Huiyuan was caught by a talent scout when she was a teenager, and almost tricked her into making her debut as a star, but I rejected it directly, I guess she hates me now, you say that if I don't have an outstanding son-in-law, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the family business to her."
Seeing Li Huiyuan shyly asking her mother to stop talking, Bo Xiaoye felt that he was buried in the pit, and Jin Lixiu was still filling the pit with all her might.
"Hui Yuan, you have to get along with Ono in the future, I'm just too used to you, if you are like your Aunt Park, you study with Grandmaster Tianxiu every day, then no one cares about you." Jin Lixiu's parental words to her daughter were unintentional, but Bo Xiaoye listened to them with a heart.
"Auntie, what kind of grandmaster did you just say, what is it?"
"Grandmaster Tianxiu? He is the founder of the Celestial God Sect, which has been very popular in the upper echelons of Korea lately, and I have a lot of business partners who are studying with Grandmaster Cheonso. Jin Lixiu's understatement made Bo Xiaoye finally grasp a clue, and Li Huiyuan, who was sitting next to her, remembered that Bo Xiaoye had asked her about relevant matters before, so she also encouraged Jin Lixiu, "Mom, tell me more, I also want to hear it." ”
"As far as I know, the founder of the Celestial God Sect is called Fan Tianxiu, who was originally a doctor of physics from Seoul National University who has been in the United States for many years, and a national treasure scientist in South Korea, but after retiring, he traveled all over the world, visited many religious holy places, and founded the Tenjin Sect after returning to China, which is said to be a sect that makes science and philosophy achieve a perfect integration.
After listening to Jin Lixiu's introduction, Bo Xiaoye noticed a hint of strangeness in the matter, "Why do I think more and more that this Heavenly God Sect may have something to do with the Second International." ”
But just as Bo Xiaoye was thinking, Jin Lixiu spoke again, "It's not early today, Huiyuan, you and Ono should stay at home tonight." After Li Huiyuan happily agreed, she shook Bo Xiaoye, who was still thinking, "Oba, okay!" ”
"Good...... Yes? ”
