In the Yu Lin District courtyard.
Wang Hao's mom went out to buy groceries. Whenever she met someone, she would greet them: "Hey, Wang, good morning!" "Yo, Liu, not going out to play?"
"I wondered who it was; turns out it's Mrs. Hao!" A middle-aged woman, about fifty years old, saw Wang Hao's mom from afar and said, "Look at your face, something good must have happened?"
"Hehe, our Haoer found a job yesterday, so today I have to buy some groceries to make something good," Wang Hao's mom said proudly. "It's not easy, you know. Nowadays, the competition is really tough."
This middle-aged woman had a bit of a spat with Wang Hao's mom before, so they had never been quite friendly. But now that Wang Hao had found a job, his mom was happy and didn't mind those past issues anymore.
However, the middle-aged woman didn't look pleased and snorted, "Your son can find a job too? That's worth celebrating. What kind of job? Where's he working? It's a temporary job, right?"
"What did you say?" Wang Hao's mom got upset instantly. "What's wrong with a temporary job? Even temporary jobs are still earned with one's own hands! Do you think everyone is like your son, relying on women every day to get by?"
"Tch, what's wrong with relying on women?" The middle-aged woman scoffed. "My son is handsome! There are countless women surrounding him every day, so many that he can't even choose! Those women are willing to spend money on him. What? Are you jealous? Your jealousy is useless!"
"Jealous my ass! My Haoer is doing just fine," Wang Hao's mom spat. "Let me tell you, when my Haoer finds a wife, she will definitely be reliable and serious about life! Unlike your son, you'll have to worry day and night after he gets married!"
The middle-aged woman chuckled, "What do I have to worry about? When my son finds a partner, he might bring a few home for us to pick from. Then, we'll pick the best one! Oh, you just can't compare people. In terms of education and looks, your son can't compete with mine. Admit it or not, it doesn't change a thing. Haha!"
"You!" Wang Hao's mom was hopping mad. "I'm in a good mood today, I won't stoop to your level!"
The two of them had another unpleasant confrontation, and just as Wang Hao's mom was about to leave, a car engine roared, and a white Lamborghini appeared in front of them.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at this car. My son will definitely buy one in the future!" The middle-aged woman's eyes gleamed with gold. "I have to tell him, to find a wife, she must be rich!"
"You can have your son rely on women all his life!" Wang Hao's mom spat again, but she froze right after saying that.
The Lamborghini stopped in front of their building, and when the door opened, her precious son Wang Hao stepped out!
The middle-aged woman was stunned: "What's going on?!"
Then she saw the driver's door open, and a beautiful girl, pretty enough to make her eyeballs drop, stepped out. The girl completely ignored her, just looked at the residential building in front of her, then asked Wang Hao, "Is this your home?"
"Mm, yes, it's here..." Wang Hao saw his mom while speaking and got shocked. "Mom, what are you doing here?"
Hearing Wang Hao's words, the woman looked at Wang Hao's mom and smiled: "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello, hello!" Wang Hao's mom closely examined the woman, liking her more and more with each look. "Oh, this girl is really beautiful. Good, good. Hehe, you youngsters should spend more time together. I won't disturb you. By the way, dear, do you have anything on today? If not, how about having lunch together? I'll call Haoer's dad back too."
"Mom, aren't you afraid of scaring her?" Wang Hao quickly pushed his mom away: "I'm just taking her upstairs for a bit, and we'll leave right away!"
"Right, right. You guys go ahead and chat! Your dad went to the cultural palace to play chess; there's no one at home!" Wang Hao's mom was elated, looking at the middle-aged woman with a big smile, almost singing. "It seems I don't need to pick anymore. One is enough. One is worth a hundred, haha! Off to buy groceries~~ The weather's great today, and I'm in a good mood too, hahaha!"
The middle-aged woman's face turned red and white, stomped her foot angrily, and walked away.
Today's situation was a big blow to her!
The two women left instantly, leaving Wang Hao standing in the wind, feeling utterly confused.
What do you mean, talk among yourselves, and no one's home?!
What are you thinking about?! I am being held hostage right now, okay?! Although I saved her, and maybe her attitude towards me is a bit better now, we are still in a dangerous phase, okay?
Who knows if this bad luck has ended or not?!
What if things go south?! Oh, she seems to have a stun gun—what if she uses that accidentally?
Will something happen between us? If something does happen, what kind of consequences will follow? Will her family pursue us? If they do, will it lead to more unforeseen incidents? Will the world end because of this?!
I really can't guarantee anything!
Obviously, the woman didn't think this much... She looked at Wang Hao: "Alright, let's go upstairs." Her voice was much softer now, noticeably less cold.
"Let's go," He took out the door card and swiped it, then got into the elevator, constantly praying: "God, please, don't let the elevator break again!" For someone else, the elevator breaking might be a good thing; being stuck in an elevator with a beautiful girl is a dream for many… who knows what could happen. But for Wang Hao...
He remembered that the woman's stun gun had six hundred thousand volts! If the elevator really broke and it was pitch black, she would definitely zap first and ask questions later. Saving her life wouldn't help!
