Chapter 199: Mother-in-law looks at son-in-law
"Boy..."
Before Shen Jingjing could react, she saw her daughter had already walked quickly toward the entrance.
Tang Song was wearing a tea-colored coat, still carrying the cold air from outside. Just as he took off his shoes and changed into slippers, he looked up and saw Shen Ci appearing in front of him.
His eyes warmed instantly: "It smells so good, did you cook?"
As he spoke, his handsome face leaned forward, about to lean in for a kiss.
As a result, Shen Ci pushed his face aside with her hand. Tang Song blinked in confusion, and then heard Shen Ci whisper: "My mom is here!"
Tang Song was slightly stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his expression turned into joy: "Auntie is here?"
"A-Ci, why don't you let people in?"
Shen Jingjing was anxious, very curious in her heart, stretching her neck to aim hard at the entrance but still didn't see her daughter leading the person in for a long time, so she couldn't help but urge.
Tang Song looked at Shen Ci, his inner joy turning into calmness. He tentatively asked a question: "Do you want me to see her? Or should I leave first?"
He remembered what Shen Ci had said: falling in love is a matter between two people, and she didn't want to deal with extra interpersonal relationships, such as his family relationships.
He had always respected Shen Ci's thoughts, so he asked Shen Ci's opinion directly at this moment, but there was obvious anticipation and a little nervousness in his eyes when he asked.
It was rare for Shen Ci to see him with such an expression, so she couldn't help but smile: "It's okay, come in."
Her own idea and wish not to see Tang Song's family was her own, and Tang Song gave her full respect for this.
Tang Song obviously wanted to see her mother at this moment, and Shen Ci was also willing to respect Tang Song. The wishes of the two were completely independent, and Shen Ci would not use her own standards to demand others.
When Tang Song heard that Shen Ci was willing to let him see her mother, his eyes lit up instantly. He took Shen Ci's hand and walked across the entrance into the living room with a mix of calmness and nervousness, just in time to see Shen Jingjing standing up in the dining room.
"Mom, my boyfriend Tang Song."
"Hello, Auntie!" As soon as Tang Song opened his mouth, he felt his face go numb. Seeing Shen Ci's mother without any warning was also the first time in his life he had seen his girlfriend's parents, and his heart was uncontrollably flustered.
But his figure was tall and straight, his posture was upright due to his profession, and his appearance was exceptionally outstanding and handsome. Shen Jingjing felt her eyes light up at the first glance.
What a truly upright young man!
"Hello, hello," Shen Jingjing responded warmly: "You came just in time, Auntie just made a table full of food, go wash your hands and eat together."
Coming early is not as good as coming at the right time. Tang Song nodded with a smile, looked at Shen Ci, took off his coat, and went to the washroom.
Shen Jingjing quickly leaned over to her daughter: "Didn't you say you broke up with your boyfriend? Is this a reconciliation, or did you change to a new one?"
Her daughter had told her before that she was dating a male classmate in college, but they broke up before National Day.
"A new one, we've only been dating for a short while, he's a policeman," Shen Ci said truthfully.
When Shen Jingjing heard this, she was even more delighted: "Policemen are good, this child looks full of righteousness, and he is also good-looking."
After all, it was a boyfriend she had chosen herself. Her mother didn't hesitate to praise him, and Shen Ci was naturally happy.
"Of course, how high are your daughter's requirements? Especially in terms of appearance, it must not be sloppy."
Hearing this, Shen Jingjing glared at her daughter: "Character is still more important, but this child looks like he won't be bad."
"Auntie, did you arrive today? When I video-chatted with A-Ci yesterday, she didn't say you were coming," Tang Song came out after wiping his hands and asked Shen Jingjing naturally.
Shen Ci snatched the words: "I was notified temporarily. She called me only after she landed and said she had arrived in Longcheng, so I drove to pick her up."
Shen Jingjing smiled embarrassedly: "I can take the subway, I didn't think about troubling A-Ci. Sit down and eat quickly, it will get cold in a while."
After sitting down, Shen Ci remembered to ask Tang Song: "Why did you come suddenly? I didn't tell you I was at home."
"I didn't know you were at home," Tang Song explained: "I happened to be handling some business nearby, and I have a long meeting to attend in the afternoon, so I thought I'd come here to take a nap. I saw two pairs of shoes at the entrance as soon as I opened the door, so I guessed you were at home."
Tang Song was allowed to come to the house at will. Shen Ci didn't come back to live here many days, but Tang Song occasionally came over.
"Child, A-Ci said you are a policeman? Then did you study at a police academy?" Shen Jingjing couldn't help but ask curiously.
Tang Song sat straight and nodded quickly when he heard this: "Yes, Auntie, I graduated from the People's Public Security University of China."
Shen Ci added for her mother: "This is the best police academy in our country."
Shen Jingjing showed a satisfied motherly smile. It really is a mother-in-law looking at a son-in-law, the more she looks, the more she likes him.
"Then are you a local of Longcheng?"
"Yes."
"Then you have a northern stomach, Auntie made all Shengang dishes today, I don't know if it suits your taste," Shen Jingjing said.
Hearing this, Tang Song looked at Shen Ci and smiled slightly: "Auntie, I'm not picky, and I like Shengang food. Everything you made looks delicious, I will definitely eat more."
Not only is he handsome, but he also has a sweet mouth. Shen Jingjing's first impression of Tang Song was extremely good.
Shen Ci glanced at him, thinking to herself that he usually pretends to be serious at the police station, but he is quite good at talking when it comes to pleasing elders.
But her mother was happy, so she was happy. Although she had never thought about actively letting her mother see her boyfriend, since they met by accident, she didn't reject it, as long as Tang Song was willing.
Now it seems, he is very willing!
The meal was eaten harmoniously and naturally. After the meal, Tang Song scrambled to clean up and wash the dishes, wanting to perform well in front of Shen Jingjing.
Looking at Tang Song's back in the kitchen, Shen Jingjing was ten thousand percent satisfied, and couldn't help but urge her daughter: "This child is quite good, you should treat him well. Mom's trip this time can be considered not in vain, and I even got to see your boyfriend."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but glare at her daughter with blame: "You too, your mouth was so tight when you were dating a new boyfriend? You didn't leak anything!"
Shen Ci had a helpless smile: "Mom, I didn't think about making a big fuss about dating, and it's not like I'm getting married."
"But you have to let Mom know."
"Don't you know now?"
Shen Jingjing patted her daughter dissatisfiedly: "This was bumped into by me, otherwise who knows how long you would have hidden it from me."
Shen Ci shook her head speechlessly and looked at Tang Song from afar. With Tang Song's conditions in all aspects, he was absolutely the best son-in-law in the eyes of the elders.
But she herself didn't have such long-term thoughts. Now her mother was extremely satisfied with Tang Song, and she was afraid that if she broke up with Tang Song in the future, her mother would be stunned.
