Chapter 37 Video Meeting
Chapter 37 Video Meeting
He couldn't care less about the shop right now; he quickly checked his mother's messages, and upon reading them, a half-smile appeared on his face.
Lin Shushu had been watching him closely. Seeing this, she couldn't help but suppress her smile and asked with concern what had happened.
Mo Ze handed her the personal terminal and told her to look at it herself.
Lin Shushu took Mo Ze's personal terminal with some doubt. After looking at Mo Ze's expression, she figured it wasn't a bad thing, so she relaxed a little and focused on the personal terminal in her hand.
Upon seeing this, she also showed the same expression as Mo Ze, unsure whether to be happy or cry.
Mo Ze's parents found out about their affair through the StarNet. Doesn't that mean it's already spread throughout the Empire?
She had just been wondering what Xiao Qin meant by her gloating before leaving; it seemed Xiao Qin thought she would be attacked because her affair with Mo Ze was exposed. Needless to say, it was Xiao Qin who spread the news.
In fact, Mo Ze was mostly happy, but he was a little uneasy because he didn't know what Lin Shushu was thinking.
Lin Shushu was more surprised than happy, not because she felt inferior or unworthy of Mo Ze, but because the message was sent by Mo Ze's mother. This clearly meant she was about to meet the parents. It was the first time in both her lives that she wasn't nervous.
Seeing Lin Shushu's somewhat nervous expression, Mo Ze guessed what she was thinking.
He hugged Lin Shushu and said, "Don't worry, my parents are very easy to get along with. They will be very happy to see you."
Despite believing Mo Ze's words, Lin Shushu was still a little uneasy. She was an orphan in her past life, without family to accompany her, and didn't know how to get along with elders, let alone Mo Ze's parents!
Seeing that she was still frowning, Mo Ze continued to comfort her, "My mother likes you very much. She's already preparing a gift for you and is just waiting to meet you. Of course, if you don't want to meet them so soon, we can wait a little longer."
Because they needed to reply to Mo Ze's parents and handle matters related to their online store, they did not leave for the time being, but instead checked into a hotel next to the space station.
Upon entering the room, Mo Ze immediately sent a video call request to his mother, which she accepted instantly. The speed of this response made Mo Ze wonder if his mother was constantly monitoring the personal terminal, waiting for his reply.
Mo Ze has figured it out, hasn't he? Jin Siyue's heart has been racing with excitement ever since she saw the news on the StarNet. However, no matter how many messages she sent to her son, they all went unanswered.
If her husband hadn't stopped her, she would have reported the missing person to the police and asked them to help find the missing person.
Although she ultimately did not report it to the security team, she kept a close eye on the information on her personal terminal, afraid of missing any letters from her son.
Sure enough, Mo Ze's video request was answered immediately after it was sent.
"You brat, why are you only messaging me now? I sent you so many messages, didn't you see them? Why didn't you reply? Is what's online true? Do I really have a daughter-in-law? When are you going to bring her home to meet us?"
Before Mo Ze could even greet her, he heard a barrage of questions from his mother. He even wondered if this was really his mother.
His mother was a royal princess, and she was usually quiet and polite in her dealings with people. He had never seen her ask questions so eagerly before.
He was about to remind her when he saw his mother stop talking on her own.
In the video, his mother's beautiful face showed a hint of unease. "Is this my daughter-in-law?"
It turned out that she had been so focused on questioning Mo Ze that she hadn't noticed the girl sitting next to him. Only after she had asked him repeatedly did she realize that there was a pretty girl sitting next to her son, whom she assumed was her future daughter-in-law. She immediately regretted her earlier haste.
What if the daughter-in-law thinks she has a bad personality, thinks she's difficult to get along with, and doesn't want to marry her son anymore?
Don't assume that there are no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law problems in the interstellar era. No matter when, mother-in-law/daughter-in-law problems are always a major challenge.
Lin Shushu listened to Mo Ze's mother scolding him the whole time, and found it a little funny. It was clear that the mother and son had a very good relationship.
That's right, Lin Shushu didn't avoid the question of meeting Mo Ze's parents. Since they had decided to be together, she would meet his parents sooner or later. What difference did it make if it was sooner or later?
Although it was only a few short words, she could hear the concern that Mo Ze's mother had for him and her expectations for her.
When she heard her ask her the question, Lin Shushu responded generously.
"Hello, Auntie, I'm Lin Shushu, it's nice to meet you."
"Okay, okay, it's nice to meet you too. Oh, don't call me 'Auntie' anymore, just call me 'Mom' like Mo Ze does."
Lin Shushu didn't expect to be asked to call her "Mom" as soon as they met. Her face flushed, but she couldn't bring herself to say "Mom" for the time being.
Jin Siyue didn't force her. She carefully looked at the girl next to her son and liked her more and more. The two of them sitting together were a perfect match. She even started thinking about what to name her future grandson.
Lin Shushu met Mo Ze's father again. He was a calm and handsome middle-aged man. Mo Ze looked a lot like him. Seeing him, Lin Shushu could imagine what Mo Ze would be like in middle age.
However, she feared that the opportunity was gone. Mo Ze was now cultivating with her, and if he successfully reached the Golden Core stage, his appearance would no longer age. And she knew that with Mo Ze's talent, that day was not far off.
After a brief meeting, it was time for the two women to take center stage. Lin Shushu answered Jin Siyue's questions obediently, not even shying away from the topic of her background.
Jin Siyue felt extremely distressed upon hearing this and immediately wanted to return to the Imperial Star to settle accounts with that old woman from the Lin family. How dare she bully her daughter-in-law? This was outrageous!
She had already figured out that woman was no good, so she didn't associate with the women in that family much. She never expected her to treat her daughter-in-law like that; even though she wasn't officially married then, it was still extremely unfair to a young girl.
The old man in the Lin family wasn't a good person either. Not long after his first wife passed away, he found this old woman and even drove her in-laws away. It's said that they also passed away quite early.
That's right, Jin Siyue had already considered the original owner's father as her in-law. Out of affection for her daughter-in-law's father, she also felt indignant on his behalf.
Lin Shushu looked at Jin Siyue across from her, who was indignant on her behalf, and saw that she looked like she was going to fight the Lin family for her. Her heart warmed.
She hadn't expected that Mo Ze's parents would be such kind people. Their affection for her was genuine, even if it was because of Mo Ze. She was very grateful for their kindness towards her.
She had never received love and care from her elders in her previous life, but she experienced it in Mo Ze's parents in this life, which made her feel both novel and moved.
She was all smiles, clearly very happy; the nervousness she felt before meeting her was completely gone.
Lin Shushu felt that even if she had to live with Mo Ze's parents in the future, she wouldn't mind.
If Jin Siyue heard this, she would be even happier. But she wouldn't interfere in her son and daughter-in-law's lives; as long as they cared about her, that was enough.
