"What good news? Is my wonderful son-in-law coming to see me? Today, I told the aunties next door, but they didn't believe me. They thought I was lying to them, even laughed at me for having my head in the clouds after watching too much TV. They said I should be realistic and just get you an ordinary man! Ugh, they are so disgusting. When Qiao Chutian decides to come over, I'm definitely taking him for a stroll around the neighborhood to let everyone know that A City's most eligible bachelor is my son-in-law!"
Mai's mother chattered on and on.
"Really now—"
Mai Xiaomai responded with a mixture of amusement and annoyance, "Well, your wish will come true. He just called me and said he will come to our house at eight o'clock tonight. You guys should get ready!"
"What? Are you serious? He's coming at eight tonight? Is he having dinner with us?"
As if discovering a new continent, Mai's mother squealed excitedly, nearly deafening Xiaomai.
