Chapter 149 Cooperation among Family Members
Hearing that her mother was alright, Cheng Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"How about we bring Auntie to stay with us for a few days?"
Hearing this, Cheng Ning was somewhat tempted: "Is...is it possible?"
Lu Ran laughed and said, "Now that we're all in Chengjiang, we can't just not come to see our daughter's new home! If Auntie doesn't come, I'll have something to say."
Cheng Ning quickly grabbed his hand and advised, "You, please don't say that, okay? Mom might be too busy to come."
If Lu Ran really has a conflict with her mother, Cheng Ning will be in great pain.
Lu Ran chuckled and ruffled her hair: "Silly girl, I was just kidding. How could I dare to throw a tantrum at Auntie?"
Lu Ran picked up his phone and called his future mother-in-law.
They said they were going to pick her and Li Daming up to come to their house for dinner.
Wu Meimei hesitated for a moment on the phone before replying, "Okay, but you don't need to pick me up. Just send me your location, and I'll drive over myself."
"Okay, Auntie."
After discussing it, Lu Ran snapped his fingers after hanging up the phone: "Let's go out and buy groceries to cook."
"Um."
Cheng Ning nodded happily.
The supermarket is right outside the villa; you don't need to drive, it's just a few minutes' walk away. The supermarket was originally established specifically to serve the villa community, so naturally it won't be too far from the community.
The two entered the supermarket, selected a bunch of ingredients, and left the supermarket less than twenty minutes later, carrying large bags and small packages.
Cheng Ning knew what dishes her mother liked to eat, so the two of them finished cooking in just over ten minutes.
Back home, Lu Ran rolled up his sleeves and was about to start washing the meat.
"etc."
Cheng Ning called out to Lu Ran, found an apron, and came to Lu Ran's side.
"What if I get my clothes dirty while cooking without an apron?"
Lu Ran raised his hand, letting Cheng Ning tie his apron: "I just wanted to hurry up so Auntie could come and we could have dinner!"
Cheng Ning pursed her lips and glanced up at him: "Mom just finished eating at the hotel. Do you think she can eat as much as you?"
"Hey! Are you trying to insult me?"
Cheng Ning shrank her neck: "No, no."
After tying an apron on Lu Ran, Cheng Ning put on her own apron, and the two of them helped each other prepare dinner.
About twenty minutes later.
Lu Ran's phone rang.
"Auntie has arrived. Should you go out to greet her, or should I go, or should we go together?"
Cheng Ning took the cleaver from Lu Ran: "You go ahead, I'll cut the meat."
"Okay then."
Lu Ran handed the kitchen knife to Cheng Ning, squeezed some dish soap to wash the oil stains off his hands, and then walked out of the villa and came to the outside of the community.
There was no need to look for it; I spotted a Maybach parked outside at a glance.
"Uncle, this is my elder, please let her in."
"Okay."
When the security guard at the gate saw that the homeowner had come out to greet him in person, he didn't say anything more and opened the gate directly.
Even if Lu Ran didn't come out, the security guards would still let him go. They just need to know that he has a connection with the people living inside. After all, with such a nice car, anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't dare to stop him.
With Lu Ran leading the way, Wu Meimei drove the car into the residential area, and Lu Ran then got into the passenger seat.
"That's the biggest one inside."
"By the way, Auntie, why didn't Uncle Li come?"
Wu Meimei said, "He said he had something to do at home, so he went back first."
Wu Meimei could tell that Li Daming was embarrassed to come, so she didn't try to stop him.
Lu Ran didn't ask any further questions.
Soon, the vehicle drove into the villa.
Seeing her daughter living in such a nice house, Wu Meimei felt even more at ease about her daughter's future life.
After parking the car, he followed Lu Ran into the villa.
Seeing her daughter busy in the semi-open kitchen next to the living room, Wu Meimei smiled with relief, thinking that it was good that her daughter was sensible, even though she and her daughter believed that Lu Ran loved her daughter very much.
But a woman at home still has to do what she's supposed to do; she can't just demand enjoyment all the time.
Only by knowing how to give can a man's feelings for you last.
"Auntie, please have a seat. I'll pour you some tea."
Lu Ran brought over three cups, brewed the tea, and poured it into three cups.
"Cheng Ning".
"What's wrong?"
"Come here, rest for a while."
"oh."
Since we just ate recently, there's no need to rush to cook more; just prepare the ingredients.
After asking Cheng Ning to sit down, Lu Ran finally spoke up: "Auntie, you shouldn't go to do business with people you don't know well in the future, otherwise Cheng Ning and I won't feel at ease."
"If it hadn't happened to be at my hotel today, who knows what kind of trouble would have ensued."
Cheng Ning agreed wholeheartedly, and took her mother's hand, saying, "Mom, Lu Ran is right."
Wu Meimei touched her daughter's hand and smiled, "I know what you're worried about."
"But now that I've taken over the village's sales rights, I can't just do nothing and live off my savings. That would not only be letting down Xiao Lu's support back then, but also your father's sacrifices."
Lu Ran pursed her lips.
If it were just him, it would be fine, but since his uncle is involved, he doesn't dare to speak up easily.
Cheng Ning was also at a loss for words after her mother said just one sentence.
Because this was indeed my father's greatest dream before he passed away.
Now that the family has finally taken over the sales agency, how can we be worthy of Dad's hard work if we just do a perfunctory job?
That must be why Mom is so concerned.
Cheng Ning felt somewhat ashamed. She only cared about her own comfort and hadn't even thought about helping her mother!
But even if she wanted to help, what could she do besides relying on Lu Ran?
"Mother."
Cheng Ning rested her head on her mother's shoulder, using this method to express her guilt.
Cheng Ning was born to Wu Meimei, so how could Wu Meimei not know what her daughter was thinking?
He gently patted his daughter's back and comforted her, saying, "As long as you live your own life well, your father and I will be at ease. Don't think too much about anything else."
Cheng Ning blinked, then looked up at Lu Ran.
"Lu Ran".
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"Could I ask the factory to cooperate with my mom so that they can purchase vegetables from the village for the school cafeteria?"
"I promise I'll negotiate a better price than before."
Lu Ran and Wu Meimei were both stunned by Cheng Ning's words.
Wu Meimei was unaware that Lu Ran owned a factory, while Lu Ran slapped his forehead, wondering why he hadn't thought of that.
"Of course you can! You're so smart. I hadn't even thought of that before."
"It's better to have internal staff members move in than to let others take advantage."
"Moreover, in a few days, the actual legal representative of the factory will change from me to you, so you don't need to ask for my opinion; you can just make the decision directly."
After the system acknowledged that he was no longer single, the romance missions were rarely triggered. Lu Ran wanted to increase his girlfriend's charm value, but he didn't have enough funds at the moment because he couldn't afford expensive jewelry and luxury cars.
Therefore, the only solution is to transfer the factory to Cheng Ning's name. A company should increase her charm points significantly.
The physical enhancement effect brought by the attribute points was far greater than Lu Ran had expected.
Now, he and Cheng Ning have only increased by two or three points, but their physical fitness has already far surpassed that of ordinary people.
The attribute points given by tasks are random and not guaranteed every time, so you should try to get the attribute points from the charm reward if you can.
