Chapter 44: Going to get hard.

Liao Jun has had several girlfriends outside, but Liao’s mother is not sure how many.

The only thing she knows for sure is that Liao Jun has never brought one home and said he wanted to marry her.

If it weren’t for her witnessing it today, she wouldn’t believe that her son could be so gentle with a girl, patting her head and smiling like that.

Liao Jun has a very bad temper. She doesn’t know who he inherited it from. He gets angry easily and has arguments with them at home. Later, after moving out, he simply doesn’t come home. He can only be seen once a year, during the Mid-Autumn Festival or Chinese New Year.

In those two meetings, there were no smiles during meals. After eating, he just left, as if he hadn’t come home but to a temporary hotel.

Last week, Liao’s mother’s close friend asked about her son’s age, whether he was thirty yet, and whether he had any thoughts of getting married. Liao’s mother didn’t dare to intervene. Their mother-son relationship was not very harmonious to begin with, and she was afraid of meddling in Liao Jun’s marriage matters and making him unhappy. She just said she didn’t know and hadn’t heard him say he wanted to get married.

Now, this girl seemed to have called by mistake. The frightened look still made Liao Jun laugh, turning to ask her for a change of fee?

Liao’s mother lowered her head and opened her bag. Fortunately, there was still money in her wallet. She took out all the cash, without counting it, took a few steps, and handed it to Chen Xiang, “Here, what’s your name?”

Chen Xiang is on the verge of tears, looking at him pitifully and saying, “I’m sorry…”

Liao Jun pinches her face and whispers in her ear, “If you say it again, I’ll get hard.”

Terrified, Chen Xiang tightly closes her mouth and even dares not to hold his hand. Liao Jun chuckles, squeezing her hand in his palm and stuffing the money into her bag.

Liao’s mother is now certain that Liao Jun really likes the girl in front of him. Though she doesn’t say it out loud, she’s anxious. Liao Jun is already thirty years old, while her friend’s son, who got married long ago, already has a child over a year old. In comparison, Liao Jun doesn’t even have a steady girlfriend, and people have been gossiping behind his back for a while now.

Now that Liao Jun can let Chen Xiang take this money, it means he’s definitely going to marry her in the future. Liao’s mother has figured it out. Smiling gently at Chen Xiang, she says, “Let’s have a formal meal at home another day.”

Chen Xiang is dumbfounded. Before she can react, she tries to wave her hand, but Liao Jun grabs it. Turning to his mother, he says, “Okay.”

Completely bewildered, Chen Xiang is pulled away by Liao Jun before she can say anything. With the floral dress she changed out of in his hand, he says to his mother, “The dress she’s wearing hasn’t been paid for yet, Mom, can you take care of it? Consider it a gift for our first meeting.”

Liao’s mother: “…”
