Since the last time they met, Xiao Zixin and Ming Shao have been in contact. Until recently, they had less contact with each other. Xiao Zixin didn't know what the reason was, she originally wanted to ask Ming Shao, but she didn't know how to say it.

Ming Shao's work has not been as busy as before, but his family has frequently called him to go home. Ming Shao knew the reason for going home this time, so he refused to go home under the pretext that he was busy with work. On this day, he received another call from home:

Ming Shao! No matter how busy you are this weekend, you have to go home. Ming Shao's mother said on the phone.

Mother! I've been really busy lately and haven't had time to go back.

All right! If you keep refusing to go home like this, then I have to call your company to help you ask for leave to go home!

Mother! Don't do that! I'll just be home this weekend. Ming Shao had no choice but to compromise.

You're going to have to go home with my mother's killer tricks.

I know what you're asking me to come home for!

Know you're still dragging your feet and won't come back? Ming Shao's mother said angrily.

I just know that I don't want to go home.

Why? You're all this old, your job is stable, and it's time to start a family.

I don't want to get married so early! I want to do a good job in my career.

As the saying goes, start a family before you start a business! Besides, if you become the son-in-law of the Shangguan family, your career will naturally be there. Ming Shao's mother said happily.

I want to be on my own!

How many years do you have to fight on your own? Yuru likes you so much! The two of you have known each other since childhood, and you and his brother are classmates, and my mother thinks you are a good match together. Hehe! Ming Shao's mother said with a smile.

But I don't like her at all!

Feelings can be cultivated slowly! If you two get married, you will have a lifetime to slowly develop a relationship.

Mother! It's not your time anymore.

Don't talk about it, you're going to have to go home this weekend anyway! Otherwise you know the consequences! Ming Shao's mother ordered.

Got it! Ming Shao said. Hanging up the phone, Ming Shao's heart was very entangled, he didn't know how to face Xiao Zixin. He also knew that what his mother said must not be disobeyed. From childhood to adulthood, Ming Shao's mother is a very strict person in his heart, saying that no matter how big or small the family is, his mother has the final say! So he didn't send a message to Xiao Zixin for the past few days, and he didn't know how to tell her.

After getting off work on Friday, Ming Shao simply cleaned up and rushed to the bus station to take the bus home. As soon as I got in the car, I received a call from home:

Ming Shao! Did you get in the car? Can't come back today? Ming Shao's mother asked.

Already got in the car and got home in an hour and a half. Ming Shao said.

Well! Then I'll make a meal and wait for you.

Good! Hanging up the phone, Ming Shao leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to recuperate. Suddenly, he heard the mobile phone ringing, and he saw that it was a message from Xiao Zixin:

What are you doing? Why have you ignored me all this time?

Something has happened lately! QQ chat! Ming Shao boarded QQ and saw that Xiao Zixin had sent a message to herself an hour ago, and he may have sent a message on his mobile phone when he saw that he did not reply.

Have you been busy again lately? Xiao Zixin asked.

Neither is it! There's been something going on at home lately.

What's up?

Nothing special, just my parents said I hadn't been home for a long time and asked me to go back.

You should also go home and have a look, it was so busy some time ago, and it is time to go home and visit them when you have time recently.

Well! I'm in the car right now. Ming Shao said.

Good!

What are you doing?

I'm at work!

Kindergarten?

Well! It might be a bit busy today, and there will be a group to move into. Xiao Zixin said.

Then you get busy first! I slept in the car.

Good! Give me a message when you get home.

Uh-huh! Ming Shao fell asleep leaning on the car, and woke up to find that he had arrived at the station. He got out of the bus and walked out of the passenger station, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Shangguan Yuru waiting there in a car. Ming Shao turned around and wanted to hide, but was seen by Shangguan Yuru.

Brother Ming Shao! Over here! Come here! Shangguan Yuru exclaimed excitedly.

Ming Shao had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over: Why are you here?

I'll pick you up!

Pick me up? How do you know I'm back today? Ming Shao said suspiciously.

My aunt told me.

My mom?

Oh, yes! Auntie said she was going to surprise me today, it turned out to be you! Shangguan Yuru came over and took Ming Shao's arm and said.

There are so many people here, don't do that! Ming Shao struggled to break free of Shangguan Yuru's hand and said.

What does it matter? I just want people to see it. Shangguan Yuru said proudly.

Let's go home first! Ming Shao said embarrassedly.

Good! Brother Ming Shao get in the car! Shangguan Yuru said to Ming Shao after getting into the car.

After Ming Shao got into the car, the car drove away, and it took about ten minutes to arrive at Ming Shao's house. After getting out of the car, Shangguan Yuru shouted excitedly:

Uncle and aunt! I'll bring Brother Ming back!

After entering the door, Ming Shao put down his bag and called: Mom and Dad!

It's back! Dad Ming said with a smile.

Well! Ming Shao nodded.

Yuru has a lot of credit today! Bring Ming Shao back! Ming's mother said with a smile.

Of course! Shangguan Yuru looked at Ming Shao triumphantly and said.

Ming Shao was extremely embarrassed.

Don't stand still, let's sit down and eat together! Ming's father said.

They sat down at the table and began to eat. While eating, Shangguan Yuru kept watching Ming Shao eat. Ming's mother looked at them happily next to them and said: Yuru! Let's meet your parents tomorrow!

Mother! I just got back! Ming Shao said.

I want you to come back just to meet the two families!

Can you discuss this with me before making a decision?

Not negotiable! Ming's mother put down the dishes and chopsticks and said sternly. The atmosphere of the scene froze all at once.

What are you doing? Look you're scaring the kids! Father Ming hurriedly relieved the siege and said.

Yuru! Don't be afraid! Auntie isn't angry at you! Mother Ming said to Shangguan Yuru with a smile.

It's all right, Auntie! Brother Ming Shao just came back, let's talk about it tomorrow! Shangguan Yuru said.

Well! Yuru is really sensible! Ming's mother then said to Ming Shao: For Yuru's sake today, I won't mention it. You also know the purpose of asking you to come back, think about it after eating!

Ming Shao silently finished eating and planned to go back to the room. Ming's mother stopped him: Why are you going? Come and chat with Yuru.

Ming Shao reluctantly returned to the living room and sat on the sofa. Shangguan Yuru knew that Ming Shao was in a bad mood, so she said to Ming Shao's mother: Auntie! I see that Brother Ming is also tired today, so I'll go home first! Shangguan Yuru said as he got up to leave.

All right! Yuru! Then I'm going to work hard for you today!

It's my honor to pick up Brother Ming! Shangguan Yuru said happily.

Ming Shao! Don't go to send Yuru yet! Ming's mother said.

Ming Shao silently got up and sent Shangguan Yuru to the door and said: Yuru! I'll walk with you!

All right! Shangguan Yuru said happily.

The two of them talked as they walked. Ming Shao said: Yuru! Is it okay to cancel the meeting between the two families tomorrow?

Why?

I've always treated you as a sister!

But I've loved you since I was a kid! It's not that you don't know.

I always thought that you treated me as a brother, and I have always been good friends with your brother and Nuo, and we love you as a sister like your brother, which may have misunderstood you.

I'm not mistaken! You obviously like me!

There's no way I'm going to like you.

Why? Shangguan Yuru asked.

Because you're our sister! Ming Shao emphasized again.

I'm not! I'm just my brother's sister! I don't want to be your sister! Shangguan Yuru said excitedly.

Yuru, don't be like this, okay?

I don't! Shangguan Yuru said hoarsely.

We really don't fit!

I say it's right, it's right! I'll be sure to let the two families meet tomorrow!

Let's tell you the truth! I already have a girlfriend and it's impossible for me to be with you! Ming Shao had no choice but to confess.

What if you have a girlfriend? I'm just going to be with you!

Don't be so unreasonable, okay? Two people should have an emotional foundation when they are together.

Isn't our relationship for more than ten years enough?

That's family affection, not love!

I don't care! I say it's love! Shangguan Yuru said unreasonably.

Can you go home and think about it calmly?

I don't! Tomorrow the two families will definitely meet as scheduled, you just wait! After Shangguan Yuru finished speaking, he got in the car and left. Leave Ming Shao alone to stand there.

Back at home, Ming's mother sat on the sofa in the living room. When he saw Ming Shao coming back, he asked: Yuru went home?

Yes! Mother! Can tomorrow's event be cancelled?

Cancel? Are you kidding me?

Mother! I'm not kidding you! I've made it clear to Yuru just now.

What did you tell her?

Cancel tomorrow's meeting.

Why cancel? Tomorrow the two families will meet to talk about your marriage, how can you cancel it on your own initiative! Ming's mother said angrily.

My marriage? Did you ask me?

Your marriage is up to me! To bring you back today is to talk about your marriage.

Since I was a child, all my things have been arranged by you, and I can't let you arrange anything this time.

What did you say? You're going to me off! Ming Shao's mother raised her voice and said.

I said I would make my own decisions about my marriage! Ming Shao plucked up his courage and said.

Are you trying to rebel? How dare you talk to your mother like that? Ming's mother was very angry.

What are you doing here? It's so loud! Father Ming came out of the study and said.

You came out just in time! Look at your precious son, he's going to rebel!

It's not that serious! Calm down! I'll talk to him. Ming's father said.

You'd better convince him, or you know the consequences! Ming's mother threw down this sentence and entered the room.

Ming Shao! What's wrong with you today? Talking back to your mother?

Father! I didn't mean to! Everything from childhood to adulthood was arranged by my mother, and I didn't disobey it. But this time it's my marriage, and I want to decide for myself.

Your mom is also for your own good! Everything she has done all these years is for this family. You have to be considerate of her painstaking efforts! Father Ming said earnestly.

I know! So I have followed her in everything over the years, including my mother's choice for the university entrance examination. I'm so old, can't I make my own decisions about marriage?

Are you in love? Ming's father said.

Yes! Ming Shao told the truth.

How long has it been?

It's been more than a year since I realized it.

You've done a great job of secrecy! It's been so long, and I'm not going to tell us.

At that time, I had not yet graduated, and I started working after graduation. I've been busy every day in the last few months, and I'm thinking about finding a suitable time to tell you and my mom one day, who knows that my mom arranged this blind date for me.

Where is the girl? What does it do? Ming's father asked.

She is from another province, W City, and works as a hotel front desk in D City.

Provincial? No wonder you don't tell us. You should know that your mom would never agree.

But Dad, do you know? She came to the strange city of City D for me alone, how could I let her down!

How long has she been in D-City?

More than half a year!

More than half a year? You've been working for two months and she's coming?

Yes!

I admire this girl's courage! Ming's father praised.

Yes! Father! Can you convince my mom? Ming Shao pleaded.

It's a bit hard! The main thing is that she is from the province, and your mother will definitely not agree. Besides, she has a crush on Shangguan Yuru as her prospective daughter-in-law, the girl you like has to pass your mother's level, it's difficult!

So what to do? Father! She is really good, she is also very kind, and she will definitely be very filial to your second elder. You see, here's a picture of her. Ming Shao took out Xiao Zixin's photo from his mobile phone and showed it to Ming's father.

Well! This girl does look very kind! As long as you really like each other, Daddy is fine here! The point is that your mother is not going to have a good time!

Father! You can help persuade my mother! Ming Shao pleaded again.

Good! I'll advise your mother tomorrow that it's getting late, go to bed early!

Good! Good night Dad!
