An older single woman meets a domineering CEO on a blind date

Uncle: Hey, you said your mother is easier to talk to, right? Then why don’t you meet your mother first and see her attitude?

Me: My mom has a good temper and is easier to talk to than my dad, but if my mom agrees, there’s nothing I can do if my dad doesn’t!

Uncle: Take your time. Arrange to meet your mother first. Maybe your mother will like me. And if your father objects, at least your mother won’t make trouble for me!

I thought about it and it made sense. I said, okay, then when?

Uncle: When is your mother free?

Me: My mom should be available anytime, she runs the store by herself and is basically always in the store

Uncle: Then you can call and check tomorrow. If your mother is available tomorrow, we can go there at noon tomorrow.

Me: OK, I’ll call my mom now.

I called my mother right away, and she picked up the phone a few moments later, asking if I had any questions and why it was so late.

Me: Mom, are you free tomorrow? I want to have lunch with you tomorrow at noon.

My mother: If you have time, I’m in the store all the time, just come over!

Me: OK, see you tomorrow at noon

After hanging up the phone, I told the uncle that we could meet at noon tomorrow.

Then the uncle said it was getting late, so go to bed early because you have to see your mother tomorrow. You can’t get up late.

I said: OK

Then we didn't chat anymore and went to sleep.

The next day, my uncle woke me up and told me to get up, wash up, and go have breakfast first. After breakfast, he would go buy a gift for my mother.

Then I got up, washed, and put on makeup. After about an hour, the uncle complained that women are troublesome. What was put on their beautiful faces? He also asked me if I would feel uncomfortable wearing makeup.

I said: No, what's wrong with being uncomfortable for the sake of beauty? Which woman doesn't wear makeup? It's normal, okay?

The uncle didn't say anything else, just waited for me, and after it was done, we went out.

While eating breakfast, the uncle asked my mother what she liked

Me: My mom likes jade bracelets. I know she has a lot of them. I don’t know much about the others! I haven’t paid much attention to them.

Uncle: Then wait and buy a jade bracelet, what else to buy? I don't know much about women, especially your mother's age.

I said: You don't understand? What about the lipstick and flowers you gave me last time? Didn't you buy them?

Uncle: I didn’t really buy it, but I paid the company’s front desk to buy it for me. How could a grown man like me know these things?

Me: Well, I thought you bought it yourself.

Uncle: I paid for it, so it's considered as my purchase! It doesn't make much difference!

Me: Okay, okay, whatever you say is right!

After breakfast, we went out and bought a bracelet for my mother. The uncle asked what else I should buy. He didn't know much and didn't know what my mother liked.

Then I bought a bag for my mother, and some health supplements, fruits and so on!

I bought it. The uncle asked if it was a little less since it was our first meeting. I said no, as long as I didn’t go empty-handed.

The uncle drove the car from behind and we arrived at my mother's store. When my mother saw me bringing the uncle along, she must have understood!

He said: Jiajia, you didn't tell me clearly when you called me yesterday. You brought your friends here, but you only said you were here alone, so I was not prepared at all.

Me: Mom, there’s no need to prepare anything!

My mother was very polite and said it was good to just come, why buy so many things

The uncle was also very clever and called her auntie with a smile.

Uncle: It’s just a little token of my appreciation. Auntie doesn’t know what you like, so I just bought some.

My mother: You’re welcome, come in and sit down!

Then we sat on the sofa and chatted. My mother was in a very calm mood when chatting with the uncle. She didn't yell like my father who had a bad temper.

The uncle said: Auntie, actually I have been thinking about coming to visit you for a long time, but I have been too busy with work and have no time. It is quite impolite for me to come here suddenly today, so please forgive me!

My mother: No, young people should focus on work.

Uncle: I heard from Jiajia before that the aunt is very young. Today I see that she is really young and has a special temperament. Standing together with Jiajia, we look like sisters!

I thought to myself, damn, this uncle is so talkative, but he is really good at praising. He praised my mother so much that she kept laughing, and I was too embarrassed to say anything to him.

My mother smiled and said: Excuse me, we are old.

Uncle: No, no, Jia Jia is beautiful because she inherited your good genes!

I just sat there and listened to them chatting, and I couldn't seem to get a word in.

After chatting for a while, my mother blamed me for not telling her in advance that my uncle would come today and we were not prepared, so she wanted to treat us to dinner outside.

Later, my mother told us to sit down first while she arranged for the people in the store to go out for dinner.

I saw my mother went out, so I followed her out. I called her and took out the jade bracelet from my bag and gave it to her. I said, "xxx (uncle's name) bought it for you. I don't know if you like it or not. I picked it out just now. Please open it and take a look."

My mother: I pushed it and said, "Oh, how can you be so ignorant? How can you accept such valuable things from others? You can take it back later and return it. I can't accept it."

Me: Oh, mom has already bought it, just keep it. How can you return it after buying it? This is also a little gift from him, just keep it.

My mother pushed me a few times, but she couldn't get over me, so I put it directly in her bag and gave it to her together with the bag.

I asked my mother casually: Mom, what do you think of him?

My mother: This is the first time I’ve seen you, so I can’t tell much. I still need to get to know you slowly.

I took my mother's arm and said: So you agree, right?

My mom: I didn’t say I agreed. Besides, even if I agreed, your dad wouldn’t agree! So if you ask me, I can only give you some advice.

Me: What’s your overall impression of him?

My mom: Overall, it’s okay!

Me: I told you, he is a very nice person and he treats me very well. As for the future, no one knows. No one can predict the future.

My mother: Well, then you should be more careful, understand things more clearly, and don’t get cheated. As your parents, we are just afraid that you will be wronged and want you to live a good life.

Me: Okay! You go ahead and do your work. I’ll go over there.

I came over and sat with the uncle for about 20 minutes before my mother came back and said she was done and we could go eat.

We were very polite during the meal, and my mother didn't make things difficult for the uncle.

My mother: Xiao Zheng, what do your parents do for a living?

Uncle: When my mother was young, she worked with my grandparents and helped them with their work. My father was just an ordinary office worker. Now that he is old, he has retired and does not work anymore.

But they don't live with me, they all live in xx (another city)

My mom: Oh, that’s good.
