Ambiguous Relationship

Chapter 24: Tang Mother

"Save you?  What is the matter?"

"I'm on a blind date."

"You've met rogues?"

"No. No.  They are more powerful than rogues."  Chen Ruo Yu looked around her.  Other than the lady who was washing her hands, there was no one.  She held the phone close and said in a whisper.  "He brought his mother."

The other end of the phone was very quiet. Then Meng Gu's patient voice could be heard.  "So what if he brings his mother?  Do you need to be saved?  You are a bit over-exaggerating.  If he is not suitable for you, you can just leave."

"He is introduced by a friend.  I cannot be rude towards him."

"Even if he is introduced by a friend, there is no guarantee that both of you will marry and have children."

"He is not an ordinary friend.  This man is her business associate.  If I don’t handle this properly, it may affect my friend."

"Then you have to do the proper way.  Just chat with them and then you can leave. Later, just tell your friend to relay a message to him and say that he is not suitable.  That will settle everything, right?" 

All this time, she had always known he has a poisonous tongue, does she need him to teach her this?

"No. No.  I have Elders phobia and I can't talk to them.  I was stuttering just now.  Then after sitting down for ten minutes, his mother had already started to talk about giving birth to a baby.  After five minutes, I guess her grandson will already be in kindergarten.  I felt I could not breathe, my face became numb and my hands and feet were cold."

The phone was quiet again.  "Drink something sweet."  He instructed.

"I had already drunk hot cocoa."

"Where are you?"

Chen Ruo Yu told him the address and after listening to him, she gathered that Mongolian doctor was willing to come and rescue her.  Suddenly she calmed down a lot and said.  "Wait a minute.  I know what I'm going to say.  Actually, I need someone to come and look for me, pretending to be very anxious and say that a friend of mine is very ill.  The situation is very urgent and tells me to go to the hospital immediately otherwise I won't be able to see her again."

Meng Gu put his hand to his forehead.  "Chen Ruo Yu, this kind of drama can just be played out on the phone."

"Yi?"  Chen Ruo Yu suddenly realized.  "That's right.  You're right.  Then, in this case, I won't have to bother you."

She quickly hung up the phone, then dialed Liang Sisi's number but it was turned off.  Then she dialed Lan Lan's number.  The first time, she did not pick up and the second time Chen Ruo Yu called, it was a long time before she picked up the call.  But with the screams of the child and the dog's barking, all mixed together, obviously, Lan Lan could not possibly act out the play with her.  Chen Ruo Yu told Gao Yu Lan, she will call her later and then hung up the phone.

Well, now there was only Dr. Meng left.

Chen Ruo Yu was in a panic.  After thinking for a while, she decided to go out and try to deal with the situation herself. 

She braced herself, went back to her seat and found the lady who was in the toilet just now, actually sitting directly behind her.  When she passed by the lady's table, the lady saw her and the lady politely nodded and smiled at Chen Ruo Yu. 

Chen Ruo Yu forced herself to return her smile, then took a deep breath and encouraged herself in her heart.

The moment she sat down, Tang Mother asked.  "Why were you away for so long?  Are you feeling unwell?"
