Beijing.
"Hello, Auntie!"
Xiao Yu's biological mother, Lin Haitang, was a gentle middle-aged woman. Though wrinkles had begun to appear on her face, one could still glimpse her exceptional beauty from her younger days.
Since they hadn't given prior notice, Mrs. Lin was quite surprised by their visit, but her surprise quickly turned into delight.
From the moment they entered the house, her eyes hadn't left Meng Lang, continually assessing him with the look of a mother-in-law inspecting her son-in-law.
"You must be Xiao Meng. I've often heard Haitang mention you recently, and this girl isn't one to praise people lightly."
Meng Lang's eyes lit up, "Really, Auntie? What has she said about me?"
"Ahem!" Lin Haitang hastily cleared her throat as she picked up the cup of water.
"Haha! This girl used to be quite resistant to interacting with the opposite sex, but since she brought you to meet me today, I feel much more at ease. By the way, when are you two planning to get married?"
