午夜的女人

“Yanyan, what’s going on?”Zhao Xiali held the newspaper, her hands trembling, and her face was full of fear.” Son, you, you don’t really like men, do you?”

At the thought of this possibility, Zhao Xiali felt as if her vision had turned black and she was about to faint.

“Mom, what are you thinking?” Shangguan Yan frowned helplessly.” I went to the bar because I have something serious to do.””

“What serious matter?” Shangguan Li slammed the table and pointed his finger at Shangguan Yan’s head. He roared like a thunderclap,” Our company is doing proper business. Is it reasonable for you to go to a gay bar? Tell me, if you don’t explain yourself today, don’t leave this door!”

“Aiya, honey, lower your voice!”Zhao Xiali was shocked by Shangguan Li’s roar. She reached out and kept rubbing her chest. She turned to Shangguan Yan and said gently,” Yanyan, you’re my only son. You’re the only son of the Shangguan family and bear the heavy responsibility of carrying on the family line. Yanyan, you must not like men!””

Shangguan Yan closed his eyes. His head was buzzing and he was extremely frustrated.” Mom, don’t worry. I like women.””

“Then why did you go to a gay bar?”Shangguan Li asked again in a stern voice.

Shangguan Yan blinked and reached out for a cup of soy milk.” It’s purely a personal matter.”

“What personal matter?” Shangguan Li persevered and continued asking.

Shangguan Yan took a sip of soy milk and sighed helplessly.” Dad, I’m going to be 25 years old this year. Can I have some privacy?”

“Private?” Shangguan Li’s face instantly turned ugly as if he had been slapped.” You’re talking about privacy with your parents?”

“Hey, hubby.” Zhao Xiali quickly got up and walked over. She held Shangguan Li’s arm and comforted him softly,” Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. Yanyan is still young. Let’s talk things out. Don’t be too serious!””

Shangguan Li turned around and glared at her.” He said that he’s almost 25 years old. He’s still young? When I was twenty-five years old, my company was already listed and he was born from your stomach!”

“Uh, times are different now. Don’t men nowadays pay attention to starting a family first? Besides, you said it yourself. I really want my son to get married soon so that I can hug my grandchildren and granddaughter.”Zhao Xiali’s voice became softer and softer until she was almost muttering.

There was nothing she could do about it. Her husband was good in every way, but he was too chauvinistic. Once he had made up his mind, even ten cows would not be able to pull him back.

“No!” Shangguan Li glared at Zhao Xiali and said,” Hurry up and ask your relatives and friends to collect photos and information of all the women of the age of marriage in D City.”

Zhao Xiali’s eyes slowly revealed joy. She asked in surprise,” Hubby, do you mean?”

“Blind blind date for the stinky brat!”

Monday, Shangguan Corporation.

“Yanyan, why did you go to the company again? Didn’t they agree to have lunch with Aunt Sally’s daughter today? Uncle Zhou’s granddaughter is going to the theater to watch a performance of the ballets tonight.”Shangguan Yan received a call from his mother, Zhao Xiali, as soon as he arrived at the office.

Shangguan Yan pinched his eyebrows with one hand, and impatience slowly appeared on his fair and handsome face.” Mom, I’ve already met four women over the weekend.. Can you give me some time to catch my breath?”
