Zuo’s mother was flustered.
It was normal for Shangguan Xi not to match Zuo Ling, but why now did Chen Laibao also not suit him?
"Lingling, could it be that you’re dating someone new?"
Zuo Ling shook his head, "Mom, do you know who is pursuing me now?"
Although Li Tong hadn’t explicitly pursued him, she had always been showing him goodwill and even moved to the same office as him.
Wasn’t that pursuing him?
"Who?" Zuo’s mother asked.
Zuo Ling proudly said, "Our factory manager’s niece!"
The factory manager’s niece?
Upon hearing this, both Zuo’s father and mother widened their eyes in surprise!
My goodness!
Their son was too impressive!
He was even getting chased by the factory manager’s niece.
Zuo Ling continued, "Also, our factory manager’s situation is quite special. She’s over fifty this year, never married, and has no children. When she gets older, the factory will definitely go to her niece..."
Before Zuo Ling could finish, Zuo’s mother impatiently said, "My goodness! Lingling! Then you’ll be the big boss of the factory in the future!"
Zuo’s father equally excitedly said, "I always knew our Lingling was capable!"
Zuo Ling nodded smugly.
The entire Morning Light Group would be his in the future, how could he not be proud?
At this moment, Zuo Ling was also feeling lucky. Thankfully, he hadn’t married Shangguan Xi. If he had, wouldn’t he have missed out on Li Tong and the position as factory manager?
Zuo’s mother then asked, "So, have you broken up with Shangguan Xi yet?"
Zuo Ling shook his head, "I haven’t had the chance to break up yet. I plan to clarify things with her this week!"
Zuo’s mother said, "Don’t wait for this week, just clear it up tomorrow! And remember, make her return the bird’s nest and the watch! If she refuses, I’ll go to her myself!"
Zuo Ling continued, "Mom, don’t worry; I know how to handle it."
Zuo’s mother then asked, "What’s the name of your factory manager’s niece? How old is she this year?"
Zuo Ling said, "Her name is Li Tong. She’s very beautiful, just a few years older than me."
Had this been in the past, Zuo’s mother definitely would not have approved!
Joking aside, her son was so outstanding, how could he settle for an older wife!
But now, in the face of money and background, none of these were problems.
"As the saying goes, ’An older woman brings gold bricks; the older the better!’"
Zuo’s father nodded in agreement, "I think what your mother is saying is quite right, Lingling, you can’t disdain her!"
Zuo Ling smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Mom and Dad, I absolutely won’t disdain her!"
Zuo’s mother continued, "Yesterday, Laibao brought more bird’s nest and ginseng. Mom will use a beautiful box to package it; you take it to Li Tong."
Zuo Ling said, "Mom, now that I’m going to be with Li Tong, please don’t let Chen Laibao come to our house anymore! What if Li Tong misunderstands?"
Besides, now just seeing Chen Laibao was revolting.
Zuo’s mother said, "That won’t do! If Laibao stops coming, who will bring bird’s nest and ginseng to our house? Who will buy your clothes? Once you and Li Tong’s relationship is confirmed, only then can I clarify things with Laibao!"
Zuo’s mother was no fool.
How could she sever ties with the Chen Family while things were still uncertain?
You know, half of the Zuo family’s sustenance was provided by Chen Laibao.
Chen Laibao could be considered a money tree for the Zuo family.
Now it was perfect to use Chen Laibao’s gifts to support Li Tong.
Zuo’s mother’s abacus clicked very loudly.
Everything was within her calculations.
Concluding her words, Zuo’s mother continued, "Lingling, keep up the effort on your end, try to win over Li Tong as soon as possible, preferably make it a done deal, so she can’t leave you. Only then can I comfortably reject Laibao."
"Okay, mom," Zuo Ling nodded.
On the other side.
As Saturday was quickly approaching, Shangguan Xi found her grandmother, "Grandma, have you finally decided about me and Zuo Ling?"
She was truly very anxious.
This time, she didn’t want to disappoint Zuo Ling again.
She wanted to give an explanation both to herself and to Zuo Ling.
Grandmother Shangguan said, "Marriage is a lifetime affair, Xiaoxi, what’s the rush? I still need to think it over."
Shangguan Xi speechlessly said, "But you’ve been thinking for more than a week."
Grandmother Shangguan chuckled, "All good things take time, don’t be anxious, Xiaoxi."
She had even planned a surprise for Zuo Ling! freёwebnovel.com
