15: Chapter 15 Jiang's Mother's Shock: You Really Married a Celebrity?
"How much is your monthly salary?"
Jiang Feng asked in return.
"My monthly salary is three thousand."
The blind date woman replied.
"Your monthly salary is three thousand, so what are you putting on airs for?"
"A single meal at this restaurant costs more than two months of your salary."
"If you want to go eat there, go by yourself. Don't take me for a fool."
Jiang Feng countered directly.
Then, he immediately blocked the woman.
"Refreshing."
After this series of actions, Jiang Feng finally felt comfortable.
He prepared to settle down for a good night's sleep.
But just then,
His mother's phone call came through.
Jiang Feng's face immediately turned bitter.
However, he still picked up.
"Mom, what is it now?"
Jiang Feng answered the phone helplessly.
"Did you block Shanshan?"
Jiangs mother questioned him.
"Yes, I blocked her. She's too much of an idiot."
"I couldn't stand her."
Jiang Feng answered.
"How could you do that!"
"Even if she's a bit materialistic, she's still a good person."
Jiangs mother said indignantly.
"Mom, didn't I tell you?"
"I'm already married. Didn't I send you the marriage certificate yesterday?"
Jiang Feng said helplessly.
"Jiang Feng, you're still trying to lie to me, aren't you?"
"I went and asked someone yesterday. That woman you showed me is named Li Qingwan."
"She's a big star!"
"Is this how you lie to your mother?"
As Jiangs mother spoke, she began to sob.
"Mom, I'm not lying to you!"
Jiang Feng grew anxious.
"You're still lying."
Jiangs mother continued to sob.
"Fine, I'll go have her do a video call with you!"
As Jiang Feng spoke, he stood up directly.
He went and knocked on Li Qingwan's door.
"What do you want?"
Soon, Li Qingwan appeared wearing cartoon pajamas, poking her small head out and looking at Jiang Feng with a wary expression.
"I have something I need to trouble you with."
Jiang Feng said through gritted teeth.
"What is it?"
Li Qingwan's gaze remained wary.
She subconsciously took a step back.
"I told my mom I'm married, but she doesn't believe me."
"I have to give her a video call."
"You need to show your face and help me smooth things over."
Jiang Feng said.
"No problem."
Jiang Feng had originally thought Li Qingwan would hesitate or refuse.
To his surprise, Li Qingwan agreed immediately.
"Wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."
Then, Li Qingwan closed the door.
Soon, Li Qingwan appeared before Jiang Feng in casual wear.
"Make the call."
Li Qingwan said to Jiang Feng.
"Okay."
Hearing this, Jiang Feng took a deep breath.
He made a video call to his mother.
Soon, Jiangs mother appeared on the other end of the screen.
"You still want to lie to me, don't you?"
"Besides you, who else is on that end?"
"Xiao Feng, listen to your mother's advice, don't set your sights too high."
Jiangs mother began her persuasion again.
"Hello, Auntie."
Just then,
Li Qingwan's exquisite face appeared beside Jiang Feng.
Dropping her usual aloofness, Li Qingwan greeted Jiangs mother with a joyful expression.
"H-hello."
Jiangs mother was instantly stunned.
For a moment, she actually began to stammer.
"Mom, I told you I wasn't lying."
Jiang Feng also chimed in quickly from the side.
"Your name is Li Qingwan, right?"
"Can I call you Qingwan?"
Jiangs mother completely ignored Jiang Feng's words, her eyes fixed intently on Li Qingwan.
"Auntie, you can call me whatever you like."
"Jiang Feng and I are already married."
"When the New Year comes, I'll go back with him to visit you."
Li Qingwan said with a smile.
"Good, good, good."
Jiangs mother was so delighted her mouth wouldn't close.
Next,
It was chat time for Jiangs mother and Li Qingwan.
Jiang Feng, standing by the side, couldn't get a word in at all.
However, Li Qingwan truly lived up to her status as a top figure in the entertainment industry.
She was incredibly skilled when it came to chatting.
With just a few sentences, she had Jiangs mother so charmed she didn't know which way was north.
As the two continued to chat, Jiang Feng felt it was about enough.
"Mom, let's leave it at that for today."
"We still have work to do."
"Let's talk again next time."
Jiang Feng felt that if they kept talking, the secret would be out.
He took over the phone.
Then, he quickly ended the conversation.
"Well done."
After it ended, Jiang Feng praised Li Qingwan.
"I did just do you a favor."
"I hope you don't drop the ball for me tomorrow."
Li Qingwan patted Jiang Feng's shoulder and spoke.
Then, she went back to her room.
...
The next day.
The sun rose.
