After bankruptcy, I was pampered by the boss

The owner of the villa is Lin Xiangshi, also known as Uncle Lin by Yi Chang. His daughter Lin Shuyu is the daughter who was stood up by Yi Zongyu.

The main door was wide open and the banquet had already begun. People in groups of three or four, holding wine glasses, greeted Yi Zongyu politely and respectfully.

As you walk in, the cold white marble tiles cast shadows of people, and soothing piano music comes from the noble and luxurious banquet hall.

Yi Zongyu had a goblet in his hand, and the amber whiskey was shaking slightly.

He raised his hand to take a sip and heard someone calling him.

Qin Lilan wore a simple champagne-colored dress with the hem spread softly, and her light makeup made her look even more gentle and charming.

"Mom." Yi Zongyou approached, "Why are you here too?"

"It's all your fault." Qin Lilan glared at him.

"I haven't been home for a long time. I miss you so much that I can only meet you this way."

Qin Lilan came from a very noble family. Her father, Qin Yuancheng, was once an army general. After retiring from the army, he served as vice chairman of the Military Commission, a position held by a major military region.

As the only daughter in the family, she was spoiled since childhood. Later, she married Yi Chang and was treated as a treasure by Yi Chang. Therefore, not only has her beauty not faded over the years, but her temperament has also remained lively and gentle.

Yi Zongyou took another sip of wine and said, "I've just been a little busy lately."

"Okay then." Qin Lilan patted his arm gently, "Don't tire yourself out. Don't listen to your dad. There aren't that many businesses to discuss."

"Even if you just stay at home and be a cool young man, you can lie down for several lifetimes. You should pay more attention to rest."

Yi Zongyou smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."

As they were talking, Yi Chang had already brought several partners over and introduced them to Yi Zongyu, saying that they had all just returned from abroad and would inevitably have to deal with each other in Beijing.

Conversation, greetings, clinking glasses, Yi Zongyu chatted with several elders very skillfully and received much praise.

"Hey, isn't that Shu Yu?" Qin Lilan called her with a smile, "Shu Yu, this way."

Lin Shuyu turned around when she heard the voice and came over with a glass of wine.

She was wearing a black haute couture long gown, her hair was tied up high, and she had red lips and white teeth. She was a bright and elegant beauty.

"Hello, auntie, hello, uncles."

Lin Shuyu greeted him politely with a smile, and nodded to Yi Zongyu to show that they had met.

"You guys chat first." Yi Chang glanced at Yi Zongyou, "A few friends and I will go over first, Zongyou stay."

Qin Lilan and Lin Shuyu got along well. "I heard that your design won a prize this time. That's great. Our Shuyu is still as good as she was when she was a child."

"Thank you, Auntie. Next time there is an event, I will take you there to play."

"Sure, I saw the shoes you designed before..."

Yi Zongyu looked at his watch. The two of them kept chatting, but no one mentioned him.

Just chatting about some family matters, or things like clothing and design.

Lin Shuyu was called away by several other friends. Qin Lilan looked at her from behind and exclaimed in admiration:

"Shu Yu is really excellent."

Yi Zongyou placed his hand on the piano keys beside him and pressed them without saying anything.

"Zong You, don't you like such an excellent girl?"

Qin Lilan looked at him curiously, "I think you two are a good match."

"Not interested." Yi Zongyou said, "What's so good about them?"

Qin Lilan asked again, "What kind of person do you like?"

Yu Jing's adorable face appeared in front of Yi Zongyu's eyes, as if his expression was always silly, as if he was inadvertently trying to be cute for others to see.

"I like fools."

Qin Lilan was amused by her son's serious humor, and her smile seemed even gentler.

"That's fine too. You're so smart anyway, so it's a good idea to bring someone dumber back to complement you."

"Do you and Dad really want me to get married?"

"You can guess what your father means. Actually, he thinks you are getting old and wants to find a girl who is of equal status. He has a good relationship with your Uncle Lin and is very satisfied with Shu Yu."

Yi Zongyu's eyes fell on the vase in the banquet hall, where the gardenias were in full bloom.

"how about you."

"Me?" Qin Lilan smiled, "Mom never urged you to get married."

"But, Zong You, sometimes I feel that you are very lonely and pitiful. I really hope that someone can accompany you."

Qin Lilan said seriously, "Mom's goal has never been to find you a marriage partner, but to hope that you can be happy."

"Can you understand?"

Yi Zongyou smiled at her and said, "I understand."

Qin Lilan patted the back of his hand gently:

"I've been telling your father that you shouldn't feel any psychological burden about this. Don't listen to him saying you're not young anymore. My son is so handsome. In ten years, there will definitely be a lot of people who like you."

Yi Zongyu nodded again.

"it is good."

Then she said, "Mom, what if I like a man?"

Qin Lilan was stunned for a moment, "Man?"

"Ah."

Yi Zongyu looked at her, still feeling somewhat unsure. Although Qin Lilan had been very open-minded about her educational philosophy since childhood and had not interfered too much in his marriage,

But what he just said was a bit too straightforward, and he didn't know what his mother's attitude would be.

Qin Lilan was stunned for only about five or six seconds, and then she laughed unexpectedly:

"You like boys? What's wrong with that? Mom was reading a comic a while ago, and it was also about love between boys, so sweet~"

Obviously, Yi Zongyu still underestimated his mother's acceptance level.

As far as I can remember, Qin Lilan has always been so open-minded and gentle, and it seems like she has never changed.

"What kind of boys do you like? Do you have any standards?"

"If you have the criteria, mom can look for one for you. You don't have to worry about your dad. You know he doesn't dare to make me angry."

"..." Yi Zongyou was a little slow to react, "You, are still reading comics?"

Qin Lilan nodded seriously, "What's wrong? I was too bored some time ago. Your dad was busy building a resort and didn't have time to go out with me."

"Then I randomly picked a few comics on my phone to read, but to be honest, I felt that the love between boys was so sweet."

Yi Zongyou was choked with speech and could not utter a word.

"okay."

Qin Lilan shook his hand again, "Okay, what? Mom is asking you, do you have any criteria for liking someone?"

“There are no standards, but there are people I like.”

"Ah, is this true?" Qin Lilan was obviously a little surprised. "Do you have any photos? Show them to mom, quickly."

"…No."

Yi Zongyu felt that in front of her, he was a dull and old-fashioned Qing Dynasty person.

"Is that so?" Qin Lilan was a little disappointed, and then her eyes lit up again.

"Then you can take it home and have a meal with it. I will cook for you myself."

Yi Zongyou: "Forget it, he is rather timid and will be reserved."

"What are you doing? Are you afraid that I will eat him alive?" Qin Lilan said dissatisfiedly, "I am so gentle."

"What about my dad?"

"Oh, you're still worried about me being here. I won't let your dad have a chance to speak."

"Let's talk about it later." Yi Zongyu took a sip of wine and said the same thing, "He is very timid."

Qin Lilan teased him, "I didn't expect my son to be so considerate and thoughtful."

"..."Yi Zongyu didn't say anything.
