Chapter 20: The Mother-in-law Looks at Her Son-in-law and Doesn't Like What She Sees!

  Zheng Wen was the first to see Liu Meng and immediately called out to him.

  "Liu Meng, how did you end up in the old campus? Are you here to watch us play tennis?" Zheng Wen teased with a wink, ever since that night when Liu Meng and Gu Dian returned to the classroom together, she had been making fun of Gu Dian about this.

  "I was buying a second-hand computer from an upperclassman and was about to leave when I saw you guys playing badminton, so I stopped to watch for a bit. Before I knew it, half an hour had passed." Liu Meng said frankly.

  "Come on in and play with us! My dad is almost exhausted, we still want to play another round." Zheng Wen said enthusiastically.

  "Come on, Liu Meng." Gu Dian saw that Liu Meng was also very happy, but with her mother by her side, she didn't dare to show too much enthusiasm or initiative. Adding fuel to the fire would be okay for now.

  Liu Meng still plays tennis, when he was a graduate student, when the topic and paper were not going well, he would go to the wall in front of the school's tennis court to hit the ball, but actual combat is rare, only serving is good, the ball speed is very fast.

  The two beauties have both invited him, if Liu Meng doesn't go in now he'll be too pretentious, let alone the boys around them who are already green with envy.

  Zheng Wen wearing tennis clothes is also quite eye-catching, with beautiful leg shape, strong and powerful thighs, and slender calves that come down evenly, running, very aesthetic.

  "Let me introduce, this is my classmate Liu Meng, and this uncle who isn't very athletic is actually my dad. This beautiful noble lady is my aunt. Hehe, you didn't know, did you? Gu Xuan and I are actually cousins."

  Liu Meng entered the venue, and Zheng Wenfei quickly introduced him.

  "Hello Uncle, hello Auntie."

  Zheng Yuexiu, Gu Pan's mother, heard Liu Meng's name and was slightly startled in her heart. It seemed that she had heard her daughter mention him before. Looking at the way her daughter looked at him just now, it seemed different from usual. She carefully sized him up.

  Only saw this young man with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, speaking calmly and unhurriedly, with an extraordinary demeanor, which is rare among young people.

  He is dressed very simply, yet clean. Hearing him say he bought a second-hand computer and looking at his attire, it seems that his family background is quite poor. Being able to remain humble and composed is quite admirable.

  Liu Meng greeted them and secretly sized up the two, Zheng's father looked very easy-going, so he sat down with Liu Meng to chat, still panting as they spoke, apparently his physical strength was indeed not good.

  Guo Pan's mother doesn't look like her mother at all, standing together they are a pair of sister flowers. She takes good care of herself and looks like she often does fitness and yoga, full of energy, with the vitality of a young person.

  Although not wearing a youthful tennis outfit, the sporty attire is both mature and elegant, yet lively, truly matching the person's temperament.

  "Hey kiddo, do you like math? Math is really fun and full of wonders." Zheng's dad was indeed a man who stuck to his profession.

  Zheng Wen couldn't help but interrupt, "Come on, Dad, are you afraid that others won't know you're a big professor in the math department? You always talk about math, math is so much fun, why did you even marry Mom?"

  Snatched away by his daughter, Zheng Laoda didn't get angry, but said with some doting: "This kid."

  "Haha, no big deal, Uncle is really genuine and math is indeed very interesting, it also contains a lot of philosophical ideas. In the past, math was even classified as a branch of philosophy." Liu Meng replied with a good impression of Zheng's dad.

  "It's true, it's true, you're very insightful, young man, what a pity you're not in the math department."

  Zheng Yuxiu secretly observed her daughter's every move, only to see Gu Tian occasionally steal a glance at Liu Meng, look away quickly, and feel that the two were very familiar, but acted as if they didn't know each other. Looking at it was eerie, this girl shouldn't have any connection with such a poor boy, no way, I need to think of a way to make this kid retreat in defeat.

  Du Yi is the son-in-law I'm satisfied with. It's better to mistakenly kill than to let him off, everything must be nipped in the bud.

  "Alright, big brother, you can't do it anymore, let this little brother take over for you. I think you really need to exercise more, you're panting like that after just running a few steps." Zheng Yuxiu said.

  Exercised his muscles and tendons, took over Zheng's racket, Liu Meng tried to swing the racket, it was indeed first-class, this racket must be at least 3000 yuan, really luxurious. The racket he used to play with before was just the lowest grade of 200 yuan.

  Zheng Wen and Liu Meng are a pair, Gu Pan and his mother are another pair.

  Gu Pan and her mother walked to the opposite side, Zheng Yu Xiu whispered with a smile: "Pan Er, this Liu Meng is Zheng Wen's classmate, how do you seem to know him too, and he's not even your classmate."

  "A professional, what's so strange about that? It's really inexplicable." Guan said to her mother with a bad tone.

  "This won't be that young man pursuing you, will it? I heard Wenwen say that our family's Xun'er is the school flower, and those who pursue her are lined up all the way to the Songhua River."

  It really was said by her mother, Gu Xian's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of panic, and she used the excuse of adjusting her hat to coquettishly say: "What kind of mother are you, anyway? You're like a vendor selling their own goods, boasting about themselves. Is there even a mother who talks about their own daughter like that?"

  "How can we not say that our family's Xuan'er is indeed a beauty, a stunning flower that eclipses the moon and puts all other flowers to shame? Which young man wouldn't be moved by her? Only Du Yi, that foolish little boy, hesitates and doesn't make a move."

  Tapping his feet impatiently.

  The amateur tennis match is about to begin.

  Zheng Yuxiu served the ball and Liu Meng received it.

  Highly tossing up the tennis ball, beautifully swinging with full force, heavily hitting the ball, the ball drew a beautiful arc and flew towards Liu Meng.

  "Bang", a powerful counterattack, directly hitting the tennis ball out of bounds.

  Those who watch the ball outside the stadium are not cool and despise them one after another.

  "My god, this kid's soccer skills are crap, not even as good as mine. I should've gone in and played instead."

  "Right? Look at these two little beauties, they're a feast for the eyes. I heard they're freshmen in our school. Ah, this kind of quality is hard to come by."

  "It's not like we're comparable, our department has 300 people, 40 of them are girls, and compared to these two, it's a huge difference."

  "Whoever says there are no beauties in Gongda University must be blind."

  "Sorry, I'm not very good at ball games." Liu Meng said with a smile to Zheng Wen.

  Zheng Wen shrugged indifferently, "My aunt serves the ball, but not many people can receive it. Let's see how I'll kill Pan Er in a second."

  It was Zheng Wen's turn to serve, and she tossed the ball with a playful gaze at Gu Tian, who stared intently at the ball, her feet ready to move at any moment.

  Zheng Wen's shot was quite fast and went straight to the sideline, but Guo Yu was too familiar with Zheng Wen's style and directly judged the trajectory of the ball.

  Tennis is all about positioning, and this ball was perfectly hit back, heading straight for Liu Meng's feet.

  Such a ball, Liu Meng should have no problem paying for it. With great force and speed, Zheng Yuxiu had already reacted and ran over, but it was too late.

  "Pan'er, you're letting him off easy, who gets a ball kicked right at their feet? I think you and this kid are in cahoots." Zheng Yuxiu didn't catch the ball and was quite unhappy, teasing her daughter instead.

  "You also saw how tricky that ball was, I'm just glad I could return it, no time to think about position."

  Next, Liu Meng scored with a serve and lost points when receiving serves, roughly like that.

  A few people play chess in their spare time and do not follow the rules of professional competitions.

  It's a draw after all.

  Several people walked back with big sweat, thanks to the recent morning run. Liu Meng started walking, his pace was steady, his face wasn't red and his heart didn't beat fast.

  "You're still young and strong." Zheng Laoda patted Liu Meng's shoulder heavily.

  It seems that Zheng Lao Da's skills in this round have fully recovered his physical strength.

  Several people took out towels to wipe their sweat. Liu Meng naturally didn't have one, so Zheng Lao Da lent him a towel. Liu Meng wasn't polite and took it to wipe his sweat.

  "Big brother, it's about time, just right to go back home and take a shower, let's go out for dinner together. Liu Meng, don't leave yet, wait a bit and we'll eat together." Zheng Yuxiu was busy arranging things and saw Liu Meng packing up his computer bag to leave, so she called out to him.

  It made Liu Meng stunned for a moment.

  He still felt it, Gu Peng's mother looked at him with eyes that were not admiring, and even took the initiative to invite him to dinner together.

  "Right, right, we're all classmates, don't go yet, let's have dinner together. It's just as well that we can discuss things together. I, the old man, love chatting with young people." Zheng Lao Da also said hurriedly.

  The World Cup is about to start, how many book friends are watching the game? Haha, if I can wake up, I'll watch it.
