Everyone was having dinner, and during the meal, Chu Mei and Zhou Rongli reminisced about the past, creating a warm atmosphere. However, it wasn't long before Chu Mei began to boast about her experiences after moving to Yue Province. Zhou Rongli listened intently, occasionally asking questions, which only fueled Chu Mei's enthusiasm.
"By the way, Rongli, why don't you come with me to Yue Province this time?" Chu Mei suggested with a smile.
"Let's wait until the holidays," Zhou Rongli replied.
"How about November 1st? We're celebrating our housewarming on October 1st, and you must come," Chu Mei insisted cheerfully.
"You bought another house?" Zhou Rongli asked in surprise.
"I got a villa in Shenzhen, but we don’t live there regularly. We still stay in Dao City most of the time. In a couple of days, Dao City will host the National Martial Arts Competition, which should be quite a spectacle. It's a pity you won't have time," Chu Mei said with a grin.
"Oh, right! Xiao Chen, didn’t you say you were going to Dao City tomorrow to watch the Martial Arts Competition? Your Aunt Chu is on the same flight tomorrow; you should go together for some company on the way," Zhou Rongli suggested.
"I probably won’t be on the same flight," Jiang Chen replied, not eager to travel with Aunt Chu.
"You seem pretty free at work if you have time to go watch the Martial Arts Competition," Chu Mei remarked with surprise.
"Yeah, it’s not too busy," Jiang Chen smiled.
"Then let’s go together tomorrow! I haven’t bought my ticket yet; just tell me which flight you’re on, and I’ll book the same one. It’s a rare chance to visit Dao City; come over to my place for a visit. Of course, if you think your current job has no future, you can come work at Uncle Wang’s factory; I can guarantee you good benefits," Chu Mei offered.
Reluctantly, Jiang Chen thought that even avoiding Aunt Chu was impossible now. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have mentioned his trip to Dao City to his godmother.
"Chu Mei, Xiao Chen's current job is quite good; he definitely won’t change it. His trip to Dao City is just a business trip, right, Xiao Chen?" Zhou Rongli said meaningfully as she looked at Jiang Chen.
Zhou Rongli had heard a lot about Jiang Chen from Jiang Lu and had a general understanding of his situation. She felt quite pleased to have such a godson.
"It is a business trip," Jiang Chen confirmed with a smile.
At that moment, all he wanted was for Aunt Chu not to come around anymore; playing along with her for the sake of her vanity was exhausting.
"If you ever want to change jobs or develop in Yue Province, just let me know. I have some connections there," Chu Mei said.
"Cough cough, let’s not talk about work anymore. By the way, Chu Mei, has your Duo Duo started dating?" Zhou Rongli coughed lightly to ease the atmosphere and shift topics again.
"She has a boyfriend now! Speaking of Duo Duo's boyfriend, he's really an outstanding young man. Let me show you his picture." As she mentioned her daughter's boyfriend, Chu Mei's face lit up with joy as she took out her phone and shared her future son-in-law's photo with everyone present.
"He’s quite a handsome young man; he and Duo Duo make a great match," Zhou Rongli commented with a smile.
"His name is Chen Ran; he’s the grandson of the Chen Family Elder from Dao City’s martial arts lineage. He’s highly regarded in his family and is quite accomplished himself—he won the championship at the Martial Arts Competition a few years ago. This time at the competition, his grandfather is even one of the judges," Chu Mei said animatedly.
Wang Duoduo, who had been silent until now, couldn’t help but smile happily upon hearing her mother talk about Chen Ran, clearly displaying the demeanor of someone in love.
After lunch, Chu Mei had some matters to attend to, so she left with her daughter. Once the two of them were gone, Jiang Chen's family finally let out a sigh of relief.
