Mommy Huang's face stiffened. "My Zhou Ting is the one and only... Only Zhou Ting can help my son..."
"Zhou Ting is a good girl indeed. But, Mommy Huang, I'm afraid she might be hard to please, don't you think?"
"..."
"Marrying too far above one's station is ill-advised. I certainly wouldn't want Li Zhen to be a mistreated Prince Consort. If Xixi were to like him back someday, they'd be a well-matched pair, from families of similar standing. Alas, what a pity!"
Huang Xiaojue had been "dating" Zhou Ting for nearly a year now, hadn't he? Yet, to this day, his family hadn't met her parents, the esteemed Zhou family. They hadn't even received a single phone call, let alone dared to imagine being "summoned" for a meeting.
After all, with someone as busy as the Zhou patriarch, who would have time for ordinary people like Mommy Huang?
