Chapter 227 Mother-in-law Looks at Son-in-law
Chen Lingyun's mother, referred to as Chen's mother from now on, is the only daughter of the head of Jianghai Investment Group.

Chen Lingyun's grandfather was the largest landlord in Jianghai Prefecture. When Lu State began to industrialize, he made a direct donation and confiscated all the land in his hands and nationalized it, in exchange for high praise from Lu State's clean official.

Chen Tianming’s rapid rise to prominence is of course inseparable from his father’s prominent reputation.

What's even more amazing is that although his father converted all his property into fame, causing the family to change from a "land aristocracy" to a "impoverished aristocracy", Chen Tianming soon married the only daughter of the head of Jianghai Investment Group, thus completing a Jedi counterattack - it can be seen that the genes passed down from generation to generation in the Chen family must contain some kind of radical speculation, and they will feel uncomfortable if they don't go all in.

Chen's mother is also a local girl from Jianghai. She studied for an MBA in England and returned to inherit the family business. Although there are rumors that the two fell in love at first sight, Yan Yu is deeply skeptical.

Because Chen Tianming is the kind of man who is obsessed with making achievements and is ambitious. He basically has no other pursuits. When he is busy, he even asks his secretary to go downstairs to buy some sesame seed buns and fried dough sticks for lunch; Chen's mother is the other extreme. When it comes to the pursuit of quality of life, saying that "I never tire of fine food and delicate meat" is an underestimation of her.

Yan Yu still remembers the first time he and Chen Lingyun went to her house in his previous life. There was a shoe cabinet and a soft chair outside the door. Chen Lingyun pulled him to sit on the soft chair, put his feet up, and an aunt came out to help them take off their shoes...

He was a little embarrassed at the time, and then Chen Lingyun explained that this aunt was "in charge of the lobby", which made him suddenly feel like he was dreaming of being a prince consort in ancient times.

Of course, this isn't the feudal age of rank and file, so Chen Lingyun's household doesn't have any "servants," only "a wide variety of service staff." For example, the kitchen staff alone has twenty head chefs, specializing in Shandong, Sichuan, and Huaiyang cuisine, Western cuisine, desserts, and coffee—there's a professional chef for nearly every field—Chen's mother is the type who says, "If I eat, I don't eat. If I do, I eat the best."

Yan Yu didn't like this kind of person. In his previous life, he and Lao Taishan had only a disagreement in philosophy, but he and his mother-in-law were simply disgusted with each other.

However, since I have decided not to pursue Chen Lingyun in this life, of course I don’t need to care about the opinions of Chen’s mother. I can just take the team to eat generously.

As everyone left the school, two luxury cars were parked at the gate. Yan Yu had no idea how expensive they were. He had no interest in sports cars; in his previous life, he usually traveled by flying sword.

The girls looked very calm because Lingyun's family was indeed rich, and everyone had known it for a long time.

The car stopped in front of the Oasis Hotel, and soon someone came over to open the door and lead everyone into the hotel.

Yan Yu only took a casual glance and knew that Chen's mother must have booked the hotel restaurant again, and then replaced it with her own team of chefs to cook - in Chen Lingyun's previous life, when she went out to travel, she only stayed in those hotels and brought her own toiletries. Guess where she learned this habit from?
Exquisite! Very exquisite!
Arriving in the box, the girls were about to sit down when they heard Chen Lingyun suddenly say:

"Wait a moment."

She chatted with the housekeeper for a while and began to call the roll:
"Ningning, sit there."

"Yunjin, come here."

"Sister Zhao is sitting next to Yunjin."

"Ruoxi, please sit on Ningning's left."

Yan Yu suddenly got a start and quickly communicated with Chen Lingyun in secret:

"What the hell, I don't want to sit next to your mother!"

"Who do you think she came here for?" Chen Lingyun asked her back.

"Didn't you say you would treat the team to a meal?" Yan Yu simply chose to play dumb.

"Just sit here obediently~" Chen Lingyun coaxed him like a child, "I'll sit next to you later and help you out if you get into trouble."

"Get out!" Yan Yu was about to scold her harshly, but then he thought, I'm not your boyfriend, why should I be afraid of your mother?

Even if your mother continues to treat me like a "prospective son-in-law" or a "beggar in Western clothes" as she did in her previous life, so what?

Do you have the guts to let your daughter bite me?

Thinking of this, Yan Yu sneered in his heart and thought, Chen Lingyun, don't blame me, this was a choice you and your mother made.

Everyone sat down at their designated seats, and cold dishes were served from outside one after another, but no one picked up their chopsticks.

Not long after, Chen's mother came in from outside.

The Chen family is a typical example of late marriage and late childbearing. Chen Lingyun was born in her thirties, so she's almost fifty now. However, thanks to her careful maintenance, she still looks like a beautiful woman in her early thirties. However, her hair is cut very short (completely exposing her ears), which contradicts the traditional Lu country aesthetic for women. Instead, she has a rather fashionable and avant-garde look, like a foreigner.

Mother Chen's eyes swept around, lingering on Yan Yu's face for three or four seconds, and then she sat down between him and Chen Lingyun, smiling and saying to Chen Lingyun:

"Why don't you eat first?" "Everyone is waiting for you." Chen Lingyun smiled and hugged her arms.

Yan Yu pouted in disgust, wondering why he felt like Wang Xifeng was trying to please Lady Jia.

"Why don't everyone introduce themselves." Chen's mother said kindly.

The girls took turns introducing themselves obediently. Mother Chen smiled and nodded to each of them. Yan Yu noticed that she was a little bit grateful to Ruoxi and Zhao Yuanzhen, and liked Lin Ning and Su Yunjin more, and her gaze stayed on these two for a little longer.

From this point of view, although Chen Lingyun is arrogant, she is not like her mother, who looks at people with tinted glasses as soon as they meet...

"Wait a minute." Su Yunjin had just finished introducing herself when Chen's mother suddenly called out to the door, "What about Xiaoshi?"

"I'm here." A professional woman in OL clothes came in from outside the door. She was Shi Meijing, the housekeeper of Chen Lingyun's family.

Yan Yu vaguely remembered that this person's father used to serve Chen Lingyun's grandfather, and now this person is serving Chen Lingyun's parents. He can be said to be a "generational slave."

"Look at this dish." Mother Chen pointed at a plate of pickled vegetables and stir-fried edamame and frowned. "It's so broken?"

Shi Meijing took a look at it, picked it up and said:

"The knife skills are from a newcomer that Master Xie recently brought in. They didn't do it right, so I asked them to redo it."

"Forget it, forget it. Just take it away." Mother Chen waved her hand impatiently and asked Shi Meijing to take the cold dishes away.

Seeing the other girls looking confused, Chen's mother was about to speak, but she heard Yan Yu sneer and explain to everyone:
"When cooking pickles with edamame, each piece must be cut exactly one-third long, no longer or shorter. This is how it looks with the edamame... Haha, that's how wealthy people are, they're particular."

There was no hint of joking in his tone, so the girls became nervous. Even the usually calm Chen Lingyun's face changed slightly, fearing that her mother would slam the table and leave.

At first, Chen's mother was also somewhat subconsciously offended and unhappy, but her expression soon changed. She looked at Yan Yu carefully for a moment, showing a satisfied expression of "You understand a lot", and explained to the girls with a smile:
"It's not that Auntie is poor and particular. My father, Lingyun's grandfather, started a business with a partner. When we were broke, our family often made this dish to go with rice, but he always cut the pickled vegetables into the same size as edamame. My father said, a family can be poor, but not a spirit. Rice should be fluffy, vegetables should be finely chopped, and the same principle should apply to everything. "

The girls listened in shock, their expressions as if they were undergoing some kind of religious baptism. Only Yan Yu held his chin with one hand, thinking, yes, yes, you have your reasons for asking the aunt to help take off your shoes. You have money and status, so you have the final say, okay?

"You are Yan Yu, right?" Chen's mother said with a pleasant expression, "I've seen your videos. They're amazing."

"Auntie, you're too kind." Yan Yu said coldly, "I wouldn't say I'm amazing, I just gave it my all."

"This child has a promising future." Mother Chen was even more satisfied. She turned to Chen Lingyun and said, "Those boys your father wanted to introduce to you before didn't have any talents of their own. They relied entirely on their fathers' influence, yet they all thought highly of themselves. That's a sign of confusion. If they were all like Yan Yu, would I not agree?"

Mother Chen's true intentions were exposed, and the girls' faces all changed slightly. Only Chen Lingyun pushed her mother's hand in a scolding manner and said with a smile:

"It's so rare for us to get together for a meal, why are you saying this, Mom?"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. You have always been independent-minded since you were young." Mother Chen took in the expressions of the others from the corner of her eyes, and guessed about 70% of the answer in her heart. She secretly valued Yan Yu even more.

Her principle is "the best of everything", and the same principle applies to choosing a son-in-law.

A Phoenix man who comes from an ordinary family with a cautious personality and is submissive in the face of power, will not be looked down upon by Chen's mother even if he works hard all his life - even if you work hard all your life to earn something, will our Governor's family look upon it?

But even those who were children of official families or wealthy business families were looked down upon by Chen's mother - the gold-painted toilet was filled with dirt, and they had no ability and relied on their family to keep up appearances, so how could they be worthy of my Lingyun?
Finally, let's look at Yan Yu. Despite his youth, he's already a nationally renowned cultivator, and even Chen Tianming has a special eye for him. And with so many beautiful women around him...it's perfectly normal. You know, outstanding men are like hot commodities in the market; they don't need any additional publicity. The long lines outside the store are the best proof!

The fact that there are so many competitors around him just proves how good he is!

Thinking of this, Chen's mother became more determined: This is my son-in-law!
When he thought of this, the look in his eyes when he looked at Yan Yu became more and more strange: the more he looked at him, the more pleasing he was, and he seemed to have advantages in every way.

The fact that he can see that there is something wrong with the length of the pickles shows that he has a refined and elegant taste for life and is a man suitable for living with.

Although he spoke coldly and had a bad attitude, it just proved that he would not bow to power and was a man of dignity and integrity.

There are a lot of beautiful girls around him, and it seems that all of them are interested in him, which shows that he is definitely an excellent man and a perfect match for my daughter!

Thinking of this, Mother Chen no longer hesitated and asked directly:
"Yanyu, do you have a girlfriend now?"
