As the new millennium arrived, Chen Qishan, though of retirement age, still insisted on contributing his remaining energy to his position, though he had lost the drive he once had in his career.

The only reason he stayed at his post was to protect his beloved son.

Chen Qishan's entire focus is on his son, Chen Yibo, and Chen Yibo is living up to expectations, having already taken over the responsibilities from his father.

In his own position, he carries on his father's will and strives to shine.

However, Chen Yibo focused all his attention on his work and neglected the matter of marriage.

I'm already in my mid-thirties and still have no plans to get married.

Yueyao, who wasn't usually very concerned about these things, had to start paying more attention after being asked so many questions by the ladies around her.

There's nothing she can do; her son is just too outstanding. Now, all the women in her social circle with daughters are eyeing him.

Yueyao, who used to live a secluded life, has gained many friends she can talk to because of her son's outstanding performance in recent years.

As I said before, it's all because her son is so outstanding. Nowadays, families with daughters have to help their daughters build a good relationship with their future mothers-in-law in order to ensure a good relationship between them.

Even though it's only a small possibility, what if it actually happens?

So everyone needs to plan ahead.

Everyone here is a mother, and Yueyao can understand them, so she won't give them the cold shoulder if they want to befriend her.

That day, Chen Yibo called home and said he was bringing his girlfriend home and wanted his parents to give him their opinion.

Before seeing her son's girlfriend, Yueyao was very excited, but after seeing her, she didn't have a good impression of the girl.

The way this girl is looking at her is obviously strange. Does this girl have a problem with her?

So when her son introduced the girl to the couple, Yueyao changed the jade bracelet she was originally going to give her son's girlfriend to a regular red envelope.

This red envelope was actually just a backup plan; I didn't expect to use it on our first meeting.

The father and son were very sharp-eyed, and naturally they didn't miss that Yueyao's face, which was initially happy when she saw her son, turned quite cold the moment she saw the girl.

The father and son exchanged a knowing glance.

However, since it was the first time I had brought a girl to my home, I didn't want to embarrass her.

So Chen Qishan took on the role of his wife and said gently, "Young lady, please don't be shy since this is your first time visiting our home. If you feel that we haven't treated you well in any way, please don't hesitate to tell us."

Upon hearing that it was her future father-in-law speaking, Li Wanying immediately smiled sweetly, "It's alright, Uncle Chen. Yibo and I are boyfriend and girlfriend, so we'll be family from now on. That's why I don't consider you outsiders, hehe."

She couldn't help but chuckle after she finished speaking, behaving like a natural friend.

Chen Qishan had seen all kinds of people; he could tell at a glance that this girl and his wife definitely wouldn't get along.

How could he not know his wife's personality? She's incredibly spoiled, and if she's unhappy, she won't tolerate it at all.

So Chen Qishan went through the motions, asking the girl about her family background and what her parents did.

After asking these questions, Chen Qishan said to his son, "Yibai, take your girlfriend for a walk around the neighborhood. Wait until your Aunt Yu has finished cooking, then you can come back and eat together."

Seeing this, Yueyao couldn't help but frown again. Well, she finally understood; she and this girl were not compatible as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The girl's smile was too fake, and her behavior was too casual. She acted so familiar with someone she was meeting for the first time, which seemed very rude.

Chen Yibo's girlfriend is named Li Wanying. Her parents are both civil servants, and she herself is a graduate of a teachers' college and is now a proud teacher.

Although the Li family wasn't exactly wealthy, they only had one precious daughter, and their family was well-off, so naturally, the Li parents doted on their daughter.

This pampering made the girl a little arrogant and vain.

Why did she have a bad impression of her future mother-in-law the moment she met her on her first visit to the Chen family?

It's not that they think their future mother-in-law is dressed too flashy and looks too young. Standing next to their future father-in-law, she looks exactly like his mistress.

In addition, her boyfriend warned her before they even met that she should be respectful to his mother when she arrived.

How could she feel comfortable with this? They hadn't even met yet, and her future husband was already siding with someone else. If she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law, whose side would Chen Yibo take?

That's why she showed such obvious dislike for her mother-in-law during their first meeting.

However, for the sake of her boyfriend, Li Wanying thought that she would turn a blind eye to her mother-in-law in the future.

Chen Yibo raised an eyebrow at Li Wanying's appearance, but quickly regained his composure.

Anyway, this is just one meeting, and Miss Li won't have another chance to interact with his mother in the future, so there's no need to take her too seriously now.

Chen Yibo and Li Wanying met through a blind date arranged by Li Wanying's mother through a relative.

Even though no one outside knows about Chen Yibo's family situation, given his current status, his future is definitely bright.

That's why Li's mother went to great lengths to arrange a blind date between her daughter and Chen Yibo.

Chen Yibo was thinking that his mother had been urging him to go on blind dates or find a girlfriend lately, so when he first met Li Wanying, he thought that this girl was quite lively and cheerful and should be able to get along with his mother.

As for the rest, he didn't have the chance to learn much more. He figured he should find a girlfriend and settle down first, and then he could learn more about the rest later.

That's why I agreed to give it a try.

Who knew that her mother wouldn't like her at their first meeting?

Well, it seems the two of them aren't meant to be.

After I get back, I'll find an opportunity in a few days to tell her that it's not a good fit.

It seems even God thinks he's not ready for marriage right now. He should focus on his career first, and talk about girlfriends later.

After leaving the Chen family home, Li Wanying was still unaware of the Chen family's cold attitude towards her.

Looking at her boyfriend, whose attitude was different from when he arrived, Li Wanying felt a little uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, she mustered up her courage and asked softly, "Brother Yibo, what does Auntie do for a living?"

Although she and Chen Yibo are now in a relationship, she knows very little about his family background.

Even now, she still doesn't know who Chen Qishan is.

Upon hearing Li Wanying's question, Chen Yibo couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity. He secretly wondered how she would view his mother.

After a moment's thought, Chen Yibo casually replied, "My mother is just an ordinary housewife who mainly takes care of my father and me in our daily lives."

Upon hearing this, Li Wanying felt a slight sense of disdain. She thought to herself, what good is being pretty? In the end, she's still just a housewife.

Throughout Li Wanying's upbringing, her mother always taught her that women, regardless of whether they are married or not, should have a job of their own.

You must never rely entirely on a man to support you.

She always firmly believed in her mother...
