Given Lin Yanan's knowledge of her mother, she believed that her mother was definitely investigating Su Ming behind the scenes.

Lin Yanan had full confidence in Su Ming, but she was afraid that Lan Yuexuan would find all kinds of reasons and excuses to obstruct their relationship.

After all, Lan Yuexuan's standards were simply too high, and Lin Yanan certainly knew that Su Ming was outstanding.

But with his current status and influence, it was difficult to catch the eye of this long-time high-ranking strong woman.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming said helplessly:

"But to get the certificate, we need a household registration book, and mine was left back home and I didn't bring it over."

"Then let's go back and get it, I'll go with you." Lin Yanan blurted out unconsciously.

But she saw Su Ming staring at her with a slightly surprised look, and her usually cool face was instantly covered with a blush.

This icy cold, moon-like female CEO now seemed to think she was being too eager.

It seemed as if she was dying to marry Su Ming, without the slightest bit of restraint and modesty a woman should have.

Even though she could always remain calm and composed when facing some big business battles.

But this being the first time going to meet the in-laws, an unexpected nervousness and panic surged within her.

Then she added quickly, "Why don't we find another time, and you come with me to meet my mom, so she can get to know you better."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming wasn't as nervous as Lin Yanan.

After all, he already had some experience, from the last time at the boss's house.

Facing her deputy mayor father, he believed he performed quite well.

Although initially, there was some nervousness, amidst the exchanging of drinks and laughs,

the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed, and finally, he showcased some culinary skills.

This made the deputy mayor, who initially seemed imposing, end up smilingly seeing him off.

Su Ming believed that when he met Lin Yanan's mother this time, he should be able to perform perfectly too.

But he still asked, "Is your mom in Longcheng now, or..."

"She's in Shangjing, the chairwoman of an investment bank, don't worry, although she seems a bit aloof, she's actually very easy to get along with once you get to know her," Lin Yanan responded with a slightly mischievous smile.

Yet in her heart, she secretly thought, she never expected that Su Ming, who usually seemed so calm and steady, would also have times of nervousness.

Lin Yanan only mentioned that Lan Yuexuan was the chairwoman of an investment bank.

But she didn't reveal that this investment bank was nationally-affiliated.

When Lin Zhenbei first went to Shangjing, he was just an unknown worker.

At a party, he had a chance encounter with Lan Yuexuan, and eventually, the two successfully got together.

Lin Zhenbei also relied on the influence and background of Lan Yuexuan's family to carve out a small niche in Shangjing.

Finally, with the connections and influence he accumulated in Shangjing, he came to Xia City and made a significant name for himself.

However, due to the long-term separation, the feelings between Lin Zhenbei and Lan Yuexuan gradually cooled.

Eventually, they went their separate ways, ending their marriage.

Lan Yuexuan always believed that Lin Zhenbei found someone new in Xia City and therefore abandoned her.

Thus, she harbored a deep disdain for men who were fickle and liked to flirt around.

Looking at Su Ming's file now, Lan Yuexuan saw it clearly recorded his close relationship with Shen Mengxue.

Although on the surface she was just Su Ming's former boss, they frequently met in life, their connections intricately intertwined.

Moreover, Shen Mengxue invested forty percent of the shares in Su Ming's construction company, and the company's first order was obtained through her connections.

Lin Yanan and Shen Mengxue were very good friends, which Lan Yuexuan also knew.

And Su Ming was introduced to Lin Yanan to be her driver by Shen Mengxue.

If she were just the landlady, wouldn't she be a bit too good to Su Ming? This seemed a bit unlike an ordinary friendship.

With this thought, she turned and instructed Li Haoran, who was acting nervously at his desk:

"Investigate Su Ming and his relationships with these women around him, including Shen Mengxue and his co-tenant Wu Guizhen, the details here aren't sufficient."

"Yes, Chairwoman." Li Haoran responded respectfully to the order and immediately walked out of the office.

After Su Ming stepped out of Lin Yanan's office, he immediately called home.

The one who answered was Su Ming's mother, named Xu Huimin, a typical rural woman.

"Son! How come you haven't called home in such a long time? Your dad didn't say anything, but he clearly misses you too! How's work? Have you found a girlfriend yet? Your mom is waiting every day hoping for a big fat grandson!"

Su Ming hadn't even gotten a word in when Xu Huimin's words came flooding in like a rushing river.

Su Ming used to find Xu Huimin's constant nagging a bit annoying.

But ever since he came to Longcheng and hadn't been home for so long,

he now found Xu Huimin's words especially comforting, a sudden wave of homesickness for family and hometown washed over him.

This might be the common sentiment among most people forced to leave their countryside homes for the big city to work.

At this moment, Su Ming said with a smile, "Mom, I'll be going back home in a few days, and I'll bring my girlfriends with me."

"Really? That's great! I've been hoping and praying every day for you to bring back a daughter-in-law to meet me! I've been dreaming of having a big fat grandson and I'm almost going crazy from it!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Huimin immediately beamed with immense joy, laughing till she couldn't close her mouth, then she spoke.

However, Xu Zhimin then sensed something was a bit off in Su Ming's words.

She suddenly understood and her voice turned serious:

"Son, don't joke like that with your mom, okay? What do you mean by 'bringing girlfriends back'? You're not thinking of marrying more than one wife, are you?"

Su Ming heard this and laughed, saying:

"Mom, congratulations on guessing right! I am planning to bring two girlfriends back for you to meet, doesn't that sound impressive?"

"Son, don't joke with your parents like this, okay? What do you mean by 'girlfriends back'? You're not seriously thinking about having more than one wife, are you?"

Su Ming heard this and laughed, saying:

"Mom, congratulations on guessing right! I plan to bring two girlfriends back for you to see, doesn't that give you so much face?"

"Son, are you kidding? You can't joke about this, even if you bring back one pretty wife I'd be overjoyed, and you want two? Are you dreaming?"

Xu Huimin naturally thought that Su Ming was joking with her, so she didn't take it seriously.
