The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Chapter 159 – Ms. Lin Ping was genuinely surprised by this Lu guy’s learning curve (1)

The fact that Ms. Lin Ping could be so successful in her career meant that she has high IQ and high EQ.

It was just that her way of helping someone to court a girl was a bit old fashion.

Roses and a movie and …

And a horror movie at that!

Was the purpose of it for Lin Yiyi to shiver in the man’s arms in the middle of the movie?

Lin Yiyi couldn’t help but criticize Ms. Lin Ping’s approach in her mind.

“You can hold my hand if you get scared.”

Lu Xun felt that he was being quite a responsible man. He whispered into her ear as he guided her in the dark cinema looking for their seats.

Lin Yiyi did not look scared at all.

Granted, it was really quite difficult to tell how she looked right now inside this pitch-black cinema.

That being said, Lin Yiyi couldn’t remember when was the last time she went to a theater.

She could take this opportunity to see if movies in the novel were more creative.

That being said, she trusted that everybody has an idea of what special effects in a domestic horror film were like…

Plus, it’d either be psychosis, multiple personality disorder, hallucination, under the effects of drugs, or something along that line in the end. Long story short, nothing supernatural was allowed after the founding of the country, so she was certain that whatever it was was not a ghost by the end of the movie!

Throughout the entire movie, Lin Yiyi wasn’t scared at all. She was so bored that she could’ve fallen asleep…

The one next to her, on the other hand, would scream out loud even if there was so much as a corner of a red dress appearing on the screen or grab her hand every time a black shadow appeared…

“That was so scary!” That was Boss Lu as they walked out of the cinema.

“My hand hurts!” That was Boss Lin with a bruised wrist and a disgruntled look.

Lu Xun couldn’t help but clear his throat…

His throat felt a little on the dry side.

Yet, as soon as they walked out of the theater, he recovered immediately. “Let’s go to dinner. I know you like seafood. I have made a reservation.”

He was still upset about the failed date from last time, so one way or another, he’d like a do-over.

Looking at the man who was excited with anticipation, Lin Yiyi had no heart to turn him down this time.

Besides, she wasn’t sure whether Lu Xun and Ms. Lin Ping had arranged it this way purposefully, but the theater was an hour’s drive from her place even with no traffic, not to mention this was the evening commute time right now.

“Is the restaurant far from here?”

The memory of being turned down that same afternoon was still fresh on Lu Xun’s mind, so he didn’t have high hopes when he asked but her question obviously suggested that she had accepted his invitation…

“It’s not far at all!”

Ms. Lin Ping was amazing. This was all going the way that she said they would!

All of a sudden, Lu Xun had a lot of respect for Ms. Lin Ping…

He decided that he must follow his mother-in-law’s… ahem, Ms. Lin Ping’s lead from now on.

Ms. Lin Ping, in the meantime, with a cup of tea in hand, said worriedly, “I wonder how’s it going between those two…”

After a while, she grumbled again, “I have already pulled all of my tricks. If this still fails, then the two of them are really not meant to be together. I think I should arrange for more quality young men and introduce them to Yiyi…”

Mr. Gu Chengyi, who had just returned from his fishing trip and was walking past Ms. Lin Ping, said, “You should stop worrying about it so much. Let the kids do their own things.”

The two of them only ended up a couple because they had grown fond of each other on their own.

Were there others meddling in it, they might not be a couple right now.

All in all, the very unaffected Mr. Gu was quite against Ms. Lin Ping’s tendency to meddle in others’ relationships.

What he got in return was Ms. Lin Ping’s eye-rolling. “If I am to wait for those two to do things on their own terms, when will I be able to have grandchildren?”

Meng Yuran and Meng Shanshan, who were sitting across from her, “……”

They felt that they had been omitted ever so perfectly.
