" You're back. Hurry up and wash your hands for dinner," Liu Mei said." Mom made a lot of your favorite dishes today. There's also a soup that will be ready soon."”
"Oh, there really are a lot. Mom, you don't usually like to cook. What's going on today? Why did he have so much time to cook so many dishes?”Li Jun asked suspiciously. Actually, he couldn't be blamed for being suspicious. The main reason was that he didn't usually go home for dinner. When his father was around, it was usually his parents who cooked. They often competed in the dishes. She still remembered that when she was in school, the happiest thing was to be able to eat delicious food when she went home on weekends. Ever since his father left, his mother was often alone. His mother didn't like to cook much anymore. If she wanted to cook, she would just cook a little. It had been a long time since he had cooked such a sumptuous meal.
"Is there anything suspicious about a mother cooking delicious food for her son?”Liu Mei asked her son with a smile.
"That's not right, Mom. I think you must have something on today. Look at your smile.”
"Let's eat first. We'll talk after dinner.”
"Don't. You should tell me now. Mom, I don't feel confident seeing you smile like this.”
"Mom made some delicious food with a smile on her face and scared you like this. This is too unlike my son's style.”Liu Mei joked.
"No, Mom, I think your smile today is so sinister. It feels like a trap.”Li Jun stretched his neck and said.
"How can you say that about your mother? Ever since your father left, I haven't liked to cook much. It wasn't easy for me to cook such a table of food today, and you're saying that about your mother.”Liu Mei pretended to be wronged.
"Okay, okay, okay. Let's eat first. Mom, please treat us first.”Li Jun gestured for Liu Mei to sit down.
"Have a seat first. I'll go get the soup." Liu Mei said as she went to the kitchen.
When the soup arrived, Li Jun looked at the table full of dishes that he liked to eat and immediately began to eat." Forget it, let's have a banquet at Hongmen. There are so many dishes that I like to eat. I'll accept any banquet."”
" If you like it, then eat more." Liu Mei gave Li Jun some vegetables." You usually eat big fish and meat. Eating more vegetables is good for your health."”
"En, don't just focus on me. You eat too.”Li Jun said as he ate.
"Alright." Liu Mei smiled and said that her son was good at everything, but he didn't care about her.
After dinner, the two of them sat on the sofa. "Mom, what's the matter?" Li Jun said as he cut the fruit.”
"You're almost thirty, right?" Liu Mei said slowly.
" Twenty-nine." Li Jun slowly replied.
Actually, Li Jun knew what his mother was going to tell him, but he was not in the mood to talk about it now. He did not know if that woman would be able to accompany him for the rest of his life in the future, but he really did not have the mood to talk about finding a partner now, let alone getting married.
Just as he was about to find an excuse to change the topic, Liu Mei said,"Son, don't even think about changing the topic this time. In the past, whenever I told you about this, you would change the topic and say that you had to focus on your career first. Yes, I didn't force you in the past. I know that the incident last time was a huge blow to you. You also lack trust in women. In the past, you had your own things to do, but now you're not young anymore. You're already thirty this year. If you're not anxious, then I'm anxious.”
" Mom, twenty-nine." Li Jun wanted to remind Liu Mei of his age.
"Shut up. That's a year old, I'm talking about a virtual year.”Liu Mei did not give Li Jun any leeway. Liu Mei knew that her son was good at everything, but sometimes he was one-track-minded. She had to settle this matter now. Otherwise, how long would a 30-year-old man last?
Liu Mei composed herself and said," Son, you know what I want to tell you. I won't force you. If you have a good girl around you, you can bring her back to me. As long as you can bring her back, I won't object."”Liu Mei dared to say this because she knew that her son would never bring home an ordinary woman. As long as she could bring back a woman she liked, she would definitely bring back a woman she liked. Moreover, such an outstanding son would not bring back a woman who was not very good. Moreover, he had already gotten to know the women around her son before this. This was all thanks to Li Jun's good friend and cousin in law, Murong Feng. She knew that although Li Jun had many women around him, none of them were worthy of his son's attention. That was why he said these words boldly.
When Li Jun heard Liu Mei's words, he couldn't help but retort," Mom, how do you know that there's no girl I like by my side? Besides, your son is now a bachelor. Isn't it easy to find a girl? Do you have no confidence in your son?”
Liu Mei said meaningfully,"Li Jun, you are my son. How can I not understand you? Ever since Li Yan left you, you have never had any feelings for a woman. Yes, there are many girls around you, but which one of them do you like? Which girl isn't after your money?”
"But Mom, I'm not in the mood to talk about this now.”When Li Jun wanted to continue, he saw the worry in his mother's eyes. He suddenly couldn't bear to continue. He was the only son in the family. His mother hoped that he would get married soon. He was already 30 years old. Actually, 30 years old was not an older youth. It was just that the people around him who were about the same age as him already had families. What's more, they were already the father or mother of their children. Every time her mother went out in the morning, there would be a nosy auntie who would come over and ask."Liu Mei, my grandson is getting married. Then, she would ask when Li Jun was getting married. My grandson is twenty-two this year, and Li Jun is not young anymore.”At this moment, Liu Mei could only laugh. Li Jun knew that his mother knew that he was very competitive, so he didn't say anything to the old lady. However, paper couldn't keep fire. In the end, the old aunties found out that he didn't have a girlfriend. Liu Mei would introduce a partner to Li Jun when she went down and met them. In the end, Liu Mei didn't go out in the morning.
Now, Li Jun clearly knew that if there was no better way to solve his single problem, his mother would have to solve it for him.
To be honest, there were outstanding girls around him, but they were only outstanding and did not have the feeling he wanted. What's the use of living an excellent life? His friends laughed and said that he was now "misogynistic". They only saw him circling around those girls, but he did not develop further.
However, who knew how lonely they felt in the dead of night? Who could understand the loneliness hidden under that smiling face during the day? In fact, deep down, he still hoped that there would be a woman who could make him fall in love again. This was what he wanted deep down.
But subconsciously, he was unwilling to believe in love. Love. Li Yan's departure three years ago fully demonstrated that this thing was unreliable and the most untouchable. Which of the women around him was pleasing to his eyes? None of them were people who only knew how to spend money. Outstanding was just outstanding.
Liu Mei looked at Li Jun and said slowly," Son, I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to do. It's just that this time, I think this girl is not bad. Maybe you will like her, so I decided to make the decision for you."”
"What did you order?" Li Jun looked at Liu Mei in surprise.
Liu Mei saw Li Jun's shocked expression and knew that he must have misunderstood what she meant. So she said slowly," What are you thinking? I know you don't want to go on a blind date, but it's not just a blind date this time.
Could there be something else? Li Jun really couldn't figure it out. " What do you mean?" she asked impatiently.”
Liu Mei asked Li Jun," Do you remember what I told you about building a sanatorium?”
"I remember. It's about you saying that you want to build a sanatorium in Moon Bay, right? I've always heard you and Dad talk about it. I didn't hear you mention it again."
"Yeah, we had already planned it with your dad. At that time, we thought that the air and scenery there were especially good. Building a sanatorium there would be something for your dad and I to do. Secondly, the air there was really good, and it was also suitable for recuperating. I didn't expect you to help us. Just treat it as a little fun for the two of us. However, I didn't expect your father to leave in such a hurry, and this matter was left behind just like that. Two days ago, your aunt and I went to stay there for a few days, and the air was still so fresh. I just remembered about the sanatorium. Later, I told your auntie about it and she agreed. Because your father and I have discussed this matter with the relevant people before, and they are also very happy to let us invest in the sanatorium. This time, it didn't take much effort for us to negotiate. I just didn't expect your aunt and the mayor of Moon Bay to be classmates. The mayor has a daughter. Your aunt and I think she's a good girl, so we want you to meet her. What do you think?" Liu Mei asked tentatively.
"Mom, why did the mayor's daughter want to go on a blind date? Logically speaking, the mayor and aunt used to be classmates, so the daughter shouldn't have become an old man who can't get married. Besides, if she looked bad or had ulterior motives, you wouldn't have introduced her to your son.”Li Jun looked at Liu Mei in confusion.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the mayor's daughter just graduated from university, and the mayor doesn't want his daughter to go too far. I wanted to find one nearby, so I wanted you to meet him. Mom doesn't expect you to do anything. She helped her dad sort out a lot of the information about the sanatorium in Moon Bay. This time, you can help Mom look at the information and see if there are any shortcomings. You can discuss it. It's good for all of you not to say it out loud. If you think it's okay, then continue. If not, then forget it. It's just that I want to tell you that you should change your view of girls and not be biased. Ever since Li Yan's incident, you've been too one-dimensional when it comes to girls. Don't always hold onto their shortcomings and look at their strengths.”
Liu Mei took a sip of water and continued,"Son, it's been three years. You have to learn to let go of what you should. Don't keep it in your heart. There were some principles that you would understand even if Mom didn't say it. Just don't make yourself suffer. No matter how good your job is or how much money you have, it's not as good as being happy.”Liu Mei did not continue. She believed that her son would understand her painstaking efforts. He had always been his pride. It was just that three years ago, he had failed both at work and in love. The more he failed at work, the braver he became, and he never talked about love again. In fact, his son had always longed for love, but he was afraid of being hurt again, so he did not dare to give his heart to her.
