Chapter 228 Chen Lingyun's Weakness
Faced with Chen's mother's direct test, the girls were all shocked.

Then they regained their composure.

It’s okay, she’s not my mother, and it’s none of my business if I get humiliated by the captain.

Chen Lingyun's expression changed, and she quickly grabbed Chen's mother's arm, forcing a smile and saying:

"Mom, why would you ask this right away..."

"No." Yan Yu replied, "I don't have a girlfriend."

"So what type do you like?" Mother Chen smiled amiably, much like Aunt Jiang Hai, who had a daughter waiting to get married. "Auntie, can you see if there's a suitable girl around? I'd like to introduce you to someone."

"Around me", "suitable", "little girl", Auntie, why don't you just tell me your daughter's name?

"I can't really say what I like," Yan Yu said coldly. "I can only say what I don't like: for example, people who always have a fake smile on their faces and look at everyone like they're idiots. I don't like that kind of hypocritical and arrogant type."

"Yeah." Mother Chen said nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, our Lingyun is actually very pure and kind-hearted. She used to keep a stray cat at home..."

"Mom!" Chen Lingyun couldn't hold it in anymore and stood up and said angrily.

"Alright, alright, I won't say any more." Seeing her daughter's intense reaction, Mother Chen could only give up for the time being and smiled, "Everyone, eat. Don't be so reserved, just be casual."

The girls laughed in their hearts. Sure enough, the captain not only dared to confront Lingyun, but also Lingyun's mother... They all started to pick up their chopsticks.

"Yanyu, try this." Mother Chen scooped a bowl of dried bamboo shoots and salted pork soup for Yanyu.

"Thank you, Auntie." Although Yan Yu disliked her because of her past life, his mother-in-law was now in a good mood, so he didn't want to throw a plate of cold water on her face - I am the strongest in this world, not the craziest! How could I do such a ridiculous thing.

When Chen's mother saw that he actually thanked her, she immediately smiled happily.

This kid is actually so polite, it's really rare, I really didn't misjudge him~
She didn't think there was anything wrong with her idea. After all, those who killed people like crazy would become Buddhas upon laying down their butcher knives, while those who did good deeds all their lives would fall into hell with evil thoughts. It seemed to be against the grain, but it was human nature. In Chen's mother's subconscious, the nationally famous Yan Zhanlong should be a young and handsome man as arrogant and indifferent as Ximen Chuxue. It was certainly worth being happy that he was willing to give face to her, his elder.

Mother Chen secretly glanced at her daughter beside her: Lingyun, you must hold on to such an outstanding man!
Chen Lingyun rolled her eyes in annoyance.

She knew her mother's personality well and immediately guessed why she treated Yan Yu differently. It was the same principle with luxury goods. If the price was slightly lower, Chen's mother wouldn't even look at it. But if it was a limited edition with only a few copies released worldwide and then went out of print—sorry, I must have it.

Yan Zhanlong was a truly unique "luxury" item in the entire Lu Kingdom, making him naturally the most sought-after son-in-law in Chen's mother's eyes. Even among the wealthy wives of Jianghai, how much face would Chen's mother have to accept the fact that "my son-in-law is Yan Zhanlong"? For this reason alone, she was determined not to let him go easily.

As for the beautiful girls in the team, and the rumors about Yan Yu having a harem, they greatly increased Chen's mother's opinion of Yan Yu - just like why a man obsessed with married women likes married women. Those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand will have to ask.

She lowered her eyelids silently, having no appetite for the food on the table. Firstly, she had been eating it since she was a child, and secondly, she was in a really bad mood.

Chen Lingyun likes to watch people having fun, and occasionally doesn't mind becoming the center of fun herself, but the only thing she doesn't want is for her parents to become the center of fun in the eyes of others. She also doesn't want her mother to be humiliated by Yan Yu like this, and have to beg him in a nice voice.

Looking at the girls again, Lin Ning and Su Yunjin were both very well-mannered. They stopped to eat, talked and laughed, and exchanged a few words with Chen's mother, making the atmosphere harmonious and pleasant.

Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi were busy eating, and from time to time they would pick up food for each other, saying, "Ruoxi, this is delicious," "Sister Zhao, try this," as if they were two good-for-nothings from the countryside. Mother Chen didn't even want to look at them.

But Mother Chen was too lazy to watch and was upset, but that didn't mean Yan Yu could tolerate these two fools. She narrowed her eyes, scanned with her spiritual sense, and sent a secret message:

"Even if you like to eat it, try to hold back. Don't let others think you are uncultured!"

"It's okay." Zhao Yuanzhen kept moving his chopsticks, moving them as fast as the wind, and replied in a voice transmission, "Chen Lingyun and I are very familiar with each other, so I'm not afraid of Auntie misunderstanding. She will help me explain when the time comes."

Xie Ruoxi didn't know how to transmit sound, and her mouth was full of food, making her speechless. She simply took out her phone and sent a message to Yan Yu:
"I only have a high school diploma and I have no education to begin with."

Yan Yu suppressed his anger coldly. If Chen's mother wasn't here, he would have already rushed over and pressed their heads into the dishes... During this pause, Chen's mother noticed that he had put down his chopsticks and asked:

"What's wrong, Yanyu? Is the food not to your taste?"

"It's delicious." Yan Yu could only say perfunctorily, "I'm just full." "Well, as long as you're full, Auntie is worried that we're not treating you well enough." Mother Chen said with a smile, not even looking at the two gluttons eating and drinking across from her. She turned to Chen Lingyun and said, "Are you still living in that villa?"

Chen Lingyun smiled and said:
"Well, the school dormitory conditions are not good, so we basically live outside."

Across from them, Lin Ning and Su Yunjin were speechless. Aren't school dormitories good? Besides having to clean up after yourself, they're no different from a hotel room!
"Indeed." Chen's mother agreed. "Last time I said I would transfer a few chefs to you, why didn't you take them?"

"Auntie, we all cook for ourselves." Lin Ning said quickly.

"Cook for yourself." Mother Chen paused for a moment, then acted like an elder and advised, "Girls should avoid going into the kitchen. After all, cooking fumes are a major enemy of the skin and can also harm the eyes and respiratory tract. Besides, you are both gifted children. You should spend your time on more important things. Don't do things yourself that can be solved with money."

Yan Yu, standing nearby, immediately erupted in anger: "I'm the captain of the Zhenhai team! I'm the only one in the team who can act so arrogant! Your mother-in-law is just a bunch of filthy rich, why are you showing off on my turf? This isn't your Jianghai Mansion!"
He interrupted calmly:

"Auntie, you are a mortal and don't understand the truth here. We cultivators value refining our minds in this mundane world. Cooking, washing clothes, mopping the floor, watering the flowers, and appreciating the true meaning of the great Dao in the subtleties of life are extremely beneficial to our cultivation."

Although Yan Yu spoke in a gentle tone, the contempt he expressed in his words, "I am a cultivator" and "you are a mortal," was obvious.

Chen Lingyun silently clenched her chopsticks, but her mother was not angry at all. Instead, she became even happier and nodded with a smile:

"Yes, yes, it's me, Auntie, who pretends to understand. How about this, I'll go to the villa first. If you have any needs while living here, just tell me and I'll help you solve them."

Seeing that Chen's mother was not even angry about this, Lin Ning and Su Yunjin were also stunned, thinking, could this be the legendary mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law and liking him more and more?

That's not right! He and Lingyun are not even lovers now!
Auntie, you don’t think that by being nice to the captain, you can convince him to marry into your family, right?

We monks have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend when we go out to the secret realm, so we are not short of money at all!
Although they were not worried that Yan Yu would bow down to his financial ability, they thought it would be a very annoying thing if Chen's mother stayed in the villa temporarily and helped to match the captain and her daughter all day long.

The two looked at each other silently for a moment, and without the need for secret communication, they reached a tacit consensus.

Send Lingyun’s mother away quickly!

Xie Ruoxi was eating her fill and feeling quite satisfied when she suddenly heard Chen's mother say, "I want to go take a look at the villa." She quickly whispered to Zhao Yuanzhen, who was still eating heartily:
"Auntie said she wants to go to our villa!"

Zhao Yuanzhen's eyes lit up:
"Doesn't that mean we can eat these meals every day in the future?"

"Yes, yes!"

The two of them exchanged glances, and without further words, they reached a consensus.

Let Lingyun’s mother stay longer!
Yan Yu was bored as he lowered his head to play with his phone. He only heard Chen Lingyun's secret voice message to him:
"Are you very proud?"

"What should I be proud of?" Yan Yu asked back unhappily.

"My mother dotes on you like her own son," Chen Lingyun said slowly. "You knew her temperament well in your previous life. Wouldn't it be even easier to please her now?"

"Little Lingyun, don't feel too good about yourself." Yan Yu sneered, "It's precisely because I know what kind of person she is that I don't care what she thinks of me."

Chen Lingyun was stunned when she heard this, and immediately thought: What does it mean? Yan Yu and my mother didn't have a good relationship in the previous life?
"But you did remind me." Yan Yu suddenly laughed maliciously, "If I remember correctly, your mother seems to be your weak spot?"

Chen Lingyun's heart skipped a beat, but she calmly asked:
"Oh, what do you mean? I don't understand."

"You still want to pretend and fool around, right?" Yan Yu proudly exposed her disguise, "Have you forgotten that I have experience in my past life?"

Chen Lingyun was silent for a moment, then said coldly:

"Try it if you can!"

"Haha, I'm anxious!"
