SAG -Chapter 120 Liu Kai Is Pretty Good!

Liu Kai chatted with Zhang Sicheng while anxiously looking toward the entrance. Very soon, he saw his girlfriend. However, it was not only his girlfriend who came, but also his future mother-in-law.

Gu Panpan had not expected her mother to secretly look at her phone. She could not really chase her mother away either, so she could only bring her along.

“Hello, Auntie,” Liu Kai hurriedly stood up and greeted her.

Pei Mingmei nodded and sat down. Gu Panpan looked at Liu Kai somewhat apologetically, and Liu Kai smiled at her, indicating that it was fine.

“Hello, Auntie. I’m Liu Kai’s older sister. My name is Liu Lu, and this is my husband, Zhang Sicheng,” Liu Lu stood up first and greeted her.

Even if Pei Mingmei looked down on Liu Kai inwardly, she still had the proper manners. She shook hands and introduced herself, going through all the necessary formalities.

Afterward, Pei Mingmei looked at Liu Kai and said, “Have you considered the conditions I mentioned to you last time? Let me tell you, you know what kind of conditions our Panpan has. I don’t want my daughter to marry over and suffer hardship. You also have to understand how we mothers feel.”

Liu Kai quickly nodded and said, “I understand.”

Hearing this, Liu Lu asked Liu Kai quietly, “What conditions?”

Liu Kai had been too embarrassed to tell her about this yesterday. Besides, the matter could be considered resolved, since Zhang Ran had made up the betrothal gift.

Today, he had only brought his sister over to meet his girlfriend. He had not expected his future mother-in-law to come along too.

Liu Kai could only explain quietly. After all, strictly speaking, the money he would use still belonged to Liu Lu, so he did not hide anything.

After listening, Liu Lu froze for a moment. Even though she had money now, she still felt that the amount was rather large.

In the end, Liu Lu could not help saying to Pei Mingmei, “Auntie, marriage should be the best result of two people truly loving each other. That way, no matter what kind of life they live, they’ll still be happy.”

This was Liu Lu’s view of love.

After hearing this, Pei Mingmei smiled and said, “Although those words sound very reasonable, love cannot be eaten as food. Besides, love is temporary, while life is long-term.”

Although Pei Mingmei had a smile on her face, there was a hint of mockery in that smile.

“You’re married too, and it looks like you should be living pretty well. But if you had to worry about firewood, rice, oil, and salt every day, then you would discover that love cannot maintain a marriage. At the very least, such a marriage may begin because of love, but it is very likely to end because of life.”

Pei Mingmei could tell that the clothes Liu Lu and Zhang Sicheng were wearing were not cheap, which was why she said this.

However, after she said these words, Liu Kai and Gu Panpan both had somewhat strange expressions. Gu Panpan also knew about Liu Lu’s situation. Liu Kai had told her before.

“Auntie, you’re really wrong about that. When I married my husband, he didn’t have a single cent. No house, no car, no savings. He couldn’t even afford betrothal money. But we still lived very happily. For all these years, my husband and I have never had even the slightest quarrel because of money. Although we used to be very poor, we were truly happy,” Liu Lu said seriously. This was her real situation.

Liu Lu also believed that even if Zhang Ran had never appeared, she and Zhang Sicheng would have continued firmly walking forward together until death.

When Pei Mingmei heard Liu Lu’s words, she immediately froze. She had not expected Liu Lu and Zhang Sicheng’s previous situation to have been like this. Judging by Liu Lu’s expression, it did not seem like she was lying.

For a moment, Pei Mingmei did not know what to say. She could only drink water to cover up her embarrassment.

However, she quickly adjusted herself.

“I don’t care what your situation was like. I have to be responsible for my daughter’s life. These conditions are the most basic conditions.”

After saying that, she looked at Liu Kai again and emphasized, “There is no room for bargaining!”

“Mom, what are you saying? Are you marrying me off, or are you selling me?” Gu Panpan could not hold back anymore.

Pei Mingmei had long expected Gu Panpan’s reaction. Her expression remained very calm.

“Mom is doing this for your own good. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand now. You’ll know in the future.”

Liu Lu took a deep breath and looked at her younger brother. Seeing that he only lowered his head without speaking, she understood his feelings.

Although this money was indeed a lot, for Liu Kai, who had just received the betrothal gift given to Liu Lu, it was completely possible to take it out. It would just make him somewhat uncomfortable.

But Liu Lu could also tell that Liu Kai truly liked Gu Panpan, and Gu Panpan also liked Liu Kai.

Although Liu Lu wanted to say something to Pei Mingmei, she thought that this was not her own son getting married and having children, but only her younger brother. So in the end, she stopped speaking.

Seeing that his sister did not lose her temper, Liu Kai immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But just as he was about to speak, he saw someone walking over.

“Uncle Zhang,” Liu Kai hurriedly stood up and called out.

Zhang Ran nodded and said, “Sorry to disturb you. Xiao Lu, where are Taotao and Susu’s water bottles?”

It turned out the two little ones were thirsty and wanted water. They had also been clamoring for drinks, but with the weather so cold, how could Zhang Ran give them those? So he had come over to find the water bottles.

Liu Lu quickly found the bottles and handed them to Zhang Ran.

Just as Zhang Ran was about to leave, Pei Mingmei’s eyes suddenly lit up. She stood up and said warmly, “Hello, Mr. Zhang.”

At first, Zhang Ran had not noticed Pei Mingmei. Only now did he see her, and he remembered that she was one of the supervisors at the bank from the day before yesterday. Her surname seemed to be Pei.

“Hello, Supervisor Pei,” Zhang Ran replied with a smile.

Then he looked at Liu Kai and the others with a thoughtful expression. Still, he asked Liu Kai, “This Supervisor Pei is your…?”

“She’s my girlfriend’s mother,” Liu Kai immediately replied.

Zhang Ran understood. When he had walked over just now, he had briefly observed them. The atmosphere between them was not very harmonious, so the discussion probably had not gone very well.

“Supervisor Pei, Liu Kai is a pretty good young man,” Zhang Ran said with a smile. Then he excused himself and left directly.

Zhang Ran had always been too lazy to interfere in other people’s family affairs.

If not for the fact that Liu Kai was Liu Lu’s biological younger brother, and judging by appearances, had a very good relationship with Liu Lu, he would not even have bothered to say that sentence.

Pei Mingmei’s gaze toward Liu Kai immediately became somewhat different.

She did not know Zhang Ran’s exact situation, because her position was not high enough. In any case, she had heard from the bank president that he was a super major client, the extremely wealthy kind!

Moreover, his connections seemed quite broad. The notice the bank president had received back then had been issued directly from the head office.

However, she still had not figured out Zhang Ran’s relationship with Liu Kai—or rather, with Liu Lu.

Hadn’t he gone to withdraw money for betrothal gifts last time?

But Liu Lu’s husband was clearly the man beside her.

In the end, Pei Mingmei could only turn her gaze to Liu Kai.

“What is your relationship with this Mr. Zhang?”
