Chapter 241: Mom!
And the person in front of him, apart from the other three, happens to have such rights—she is Jiang Cheng's mother.
"When did you come back?" Jiang Cheng looked at Lv Tengyun and said with a smile, "And you didn't tell me in advance."
Lv Tengyun looked at Jiang Cheng, her expression slightly complex. Not having seen him for some days, she felt that her son seemed to have completely turned into another person. While she felt undeniable pride in his current achievements, there was also some regret. Thinking carefully, she realized she was almost every day buried in research experiments, spending too little time with Jiang Cheng! If only she could spend more time with him...
But this too was something she had no control over.
If Lv Tengyun had become an ordinary housewife, she could never have achieved what she has today!
"I came back on an earlier flight, and as soon as I got back, I was ready to see you, but seeing your car outside, I got in first to wait for you," Lv Tengyun said with a smile.
"I see." Jiang Cheng nodded. Speaking of which, Su Qianqian and Guan Xiaofei had not yet met Lv Tengyun. They say an unattractive daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws, but Su Qianqian and Guan Xiaofei are not unattractive and have stayed at Jiang Cheng's house every day yet have not met Lv Tengyun. Now that she has returned, they missed her again in a subtle way.
Lv Tengyun was evidently aware too, she smiled and said, "Are you not bringing your two little women to the celebration too? Speaking of which, I've only seen their photos, but have not met them in person yet."
These words from Lv Tengyun made Jiang Cheng smile awkwardly and then say, "They don't plan to attend the celebration. Honestly, I don't plan to go either, but as the chairman of the company, an indispensable figure, going is unavoidable. Since they don't want to go, they can just stay home."
"You're really spoiling them," Lv Tengyun raised her eyebrow and said, "This isn't good."
"I know my limits," Jiang Cheng said flatly.
"I know you know your limits, but as a mother, I must remind you—do you like both of those young girls? Want to keep them close?" Lv Tengyun asked again. Clearly, for a woman like Lv Tengyun, the fact that Jiang Cheng had two girls around him, especially twins, was something...
"Yes, of course keep them close." Jiang Cheng nodded and said. "You—well, do as you want, but since those two girls have become your women, you need to be responsible," Lv Tengyun opened her mouth, preparing to say something, then hesitated and shook her head, swallowing her words, she changed the topic.
"Hmm." Jiang Cheng nodded.
For a moment, there was no topic to discuss, making the atmosphere inside the car a little awkward.
After a short while, Lv Tengyun spoke again and asked, "Do you have any children?"
....Jiang Cheng was speechless, feeling as if the question hit a sore spot, he shook his head and said, "Not yet."
"Then when will there be?" Lv Tengyun asked again.
"I'm still young and not planning to have children," Jiang Cheng said helplessly. After all, this body is only fourteen years old. To have children now? What is this nonsense!
"You're not that young anymore—as long as there are women, you're a man, not a boy," Lv Tengyun shook her head and said.
"I will try my best." Faced with such nagging from his mother, Jiang Cheng said helplessly.
"Hmm." Lv Tengyun nodded.
After this, there was another round of awkward silence, but fortunately, the car moved quickly and soon arrived at the celebration venue, freeing them from the awkward atmosphere.
Jiang Cheng's face had long become well-known—even though he rarely put effort into publicity, never participated in various programs, and might refuse a million-dollar invitation from a TV station without hesitation, nor did he accept various interviews, it was on a completely different level in terms of exposure compared to Zhang Manlin.
As the company's figurehead, Zhang Manlin handled these matters, saving Jiang Cheng a lot of time.
But as the sole chairman of Cosmic Umbrella Technology, the developer of Virtual Reality Devices and the Transparent Phone, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old prodigy, even with his low-key demeanor, his fame was still enormous, only slightly less than Zhang Manlin's.
Although Lv Tengyun was an internationally renowned professor, her fame compared to Jiang Cheng's was on a completely different level.
When Jiang Cheng and Lv Tengyun stepped out of the car, the security personnel at the entrance of the hotel arranged for the celebration immediately recognized Jiang Cheng rather than Lv Tengyun.
"Chairman Jiang—you're here!"
"Chairman Jiang—good afternoon."
"Chairman Jiang! You finally arrived!"
All those security personnel came to greet him, slightly bowing to show respect.
For these legendary figures like Jiang Cheng, just to see him was considered a great honor, naturally making their hearts tremble with excitement.
Jiang Cheng nodded at them, saying, "Good afternoon," as he led Lv Tengyun into the hotel.
Everyone entering the hotel had to go through strict examination, even those prominent figures attending the celebration were no exception.
The only exception was people like Jiang Cheng. So he directly led Lv Tengyun into the hotel. While staying outside the hotel for a while, they attracted numerous glances. If they stayed longer, more people would certainly flock towards them.
This is one of the woes of fame. One must not lightly appear in the public eye, or else, many people would gather around.
Once Jiang Cheng led Lv Tengyun into the hotel, he immediately saw Zhang Manlin not far away.
Upon seeing Jiang Cheng, Zhang Manlin quickly came over and said, "Chairman Jiang."
"Hmm." Jiang Cheng nodded.
Then Zhang Manlin took a quick glance at Lv Tengyun beside Jiang Cheng, slightly stunned, and asked cautiously, "Who is this?"
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to introduce, Lv Tengyun beat him to speak: "I am Jiang Cheng's mother, Lv Tengyun. Hello, are you Zhang Manlin, President You of Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company? Thank you for taking care of my son."
"Oh, not at all!!" Zhang Manlin was startled, having heard that Jiang Cheng's parents would also attend this celebration, but did not expect to see them so soon—and to say something like my son is thanks to your care was embarrassing, she quickly said, "I am just a part of Chairman Jiang's company, nothing worthy of being called care—as a company president and CEO, normal work is normal business, no such thing as care or not caring."
