"Zhou Ting, you’re truly filial. I often say, our Huang family’s ancestral graves are probably smoking because of you. It’s absolutely a monumental blessing for our Huang family..."
Huang Mom couldn’t praise her enough.
Recently, Zhou Ting had been busy and hadn’t really spent much time with her, not even calling much. She clearly felt Zhou Ting’s indifference, pride... and was anxious about how better to serve this precious daughter-in-law.
But in these past couple of days, Zhou Ting suddenly started showing much concern, gifting this and that, more filial than the best daughter-in-law in the world.
Zhou Ting enthusiastically said, "Mom, are you free today? I’ll accompany you for a shopping trip."
Huang Mom, being restrained, couldn’t stay still anymore, and upon hearing the invitation, was overjoyed: "I’ve wanted to go shopping for a while, but had no one to go with."
Huang Dad politely remarked, "Zhou Ting, you’re busy with work and rarely get a day off, no need to sacrifice your time accompanying her, she’s idle all day, you shouldn’t waste your time."
"What are you saying? I like shopping too, it’s relaxing."
Huang Mom beamed, "Old man, stop nagging. Zhou Ting is so filial, I say you shouldn’t be jealous."
Zhou Ting smiled humorously, "Dad is getting jealous."
The two of them went to the boutique together.
Xu Xiaoya saw the mother- and daughter-in-law holding hands, quite intimate.
She also politely, personally accompanied the two of them around the second floor’s boutique area, showing them the latest style samples. Zhou Ting personally picked out a very nice bag for Huang Mom, swiped her card, and paid for it.
Huang Mom hurriedly said, "Let me, Zhou Ting, let me do it. I can’t keep letting you gift me things."
Zhou Ting smiled sweetly, "Isn’t it only right for me to be filial to you? Besides, it’s just a bag, not worth much."
Xu Xiaoya also laughed, "Isn’t that right? Auntie Huang, don’t be polite, a daughter-in-law being filial to her mother-in-law is expected, when she buys you things just consider it as if Huang Xiaojue gifted you, why refuse?"
As long as she didn’t see Yan Xixi, the thorn in her side, Huang Mom was much more civil to Xu Xiaoya and smiled broadly, "My daughter-in-law truly is one in a million... no no no, not even in a million could you find such a good one..."
Xu Xiaoya laughed as she saw the two out the door, having been in business for so long, she learned never to offend clients at any time.
Until their figures completely disappeared, Zhou Xiaoxuan came in from the side door, leaned on the counter, and sighed long: "Oh my, Zhou Ting’s attitude is truly detestable, did you hear? She’s already calling her ’Mom’!! My god, they haven’t even had the official wedding, and she’s rushing to change how she addresses her? Shameless..."
"The wedding date is set, isn’t it just common to change the way one addresses then?"
"The date is set, but hasn’t the wedding yet to take place? Is there a need to hurry? Hearing her call ’Mom’ all the time gives me goosebumps, doesn’t she have her own mom??"
Even Xu Xiaoya was curious, whispered, "Why is she sucking up to Huang Mom so much? Isn’t she always quite the princess? Even I feel she’s overdoing it with Huang Mom today..."
Zhou Xiaoxuan didn’t think much of it, "If Huang Xiaojue is willing to marry me, I’d gladly cozy up to Huang Mom like that."
"That makes sense for you, but Zhou Ting, what’s her angle? There’s no need for her to be so overly attentive, right?"
Zhou Xiaoxuan coldly remarked, "Her angle? The guy is young and accomplished, really capable, and handsome at that!"
