Chapter 180
Zhao Yun listened to no sound, then hurried to make a call. Before she dialed, she heard someone outside asking, "Is anyone in there?"
Zhao Yun quickly answered, "Yes, yes, yes."
"Don't worry, I've already called the fire department. Just wait a moment. Don't be afraid."
"Okay, okay, thank you. I'm fine."
Fifteen minutes later, the fire department arrived, and Chu Yang shouted, "Over here!"
About ten minutes later, the lady was finally rescued. She wasn't hurt and thanked the rescue team and Chu Yang, "Thank you so much."
Chu Yang shook her head, "No problem, I just happened to be here."
Zhao Yun was still very grateful to her. At that time, she was alone in the elevator and was a little scared. Chu Yang's voice made her relax completely. The scariest thing about being trapped in an elevator is not being discovered. There weren't many people around during workdays.
"It's lunchtime now. Why don't I treat you to a meal? Are you busy?"
Chu Yang shook her head, "Sorry, I'm having lunch with my boyfriend later."
"Okay then. Here's my card. You can find me if anything happens."
"Alright."
Then Chu Yang received a call from Chi Yan, saying he was downstairs. Chu Yang quickly said goodbye to the lady and went to meet Chi Yan.
Chi Yan took Chu Yang to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Chu Yang told him about the incident, "I feel like I've seen that lady somewhere before." After saying that, she glanced at Chi Yan, huh? Then she looked at him again and finally realized why the lady looked familiar.
The lady was very elegant, probably in her 40s. Her facial features were somewhat similar to her boyfriend's. "Oh, I think she looks a bit like you. Is she related to you?"
Chi Yan smiled, "I don't think so."
Just as he finished speaking, Chi Yan received a call from his mother, "Son, are you at the company? Your mom is nearby and bought you two suits of clothes. Would you like to have lunch with your mom?"
Chi Yan looked at Chu Yang and said, "Mom, I'm not available today."
Chi Yan's Mother didn't insist, thinking he was busy at work. "Okay then, take care of your health. Don't overwork yourself. By the way, school is starting in a few days. Have you prepared everything?"
Chi Yan: "Don't worry, I'm all set. And I'll probably stay at my place from now on, not at the school dorm much." After all, he would often need to come to the company.
"Alright then, I'll hang up now."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Chi Yan told Chu Yang, "My mom originally wanted to have lunch with me. She said she just came over to buy me some clothes, but I declined."
Chu Yang suddenly thought of the lady from earlier. How coincidental, that lady was also buying clothes, and she looked a bit like Chi Yan. Could it be Chi Yan's mother?
Meanwhile, Chi Yan's Mother was about to head back when she turned the corner and saw through the glass that her son was having lunch with a young lady. The two seemed to be chatting happily, and the young lady was none other than the one from earlier.
Chu Yang seemed to sense someone's gaze and looked over, meeting eyes with the lady.
Chi Yan looked over in confusion, then immediately stood up, "Mom!"
Chu Yang widened her eyes and quickly stood up as well.
...
In the end, Chu Yang and Chi Yan sat on one side, while Chi Yan's Mother sat on the other.
Chi Yan introduced them, "Mom, this is my girlfriend, Chu Yang. Yang Yang, this is my mom."
Chu Yang immediately greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Auntie. I didn't expect it to be you."
Chi Yan's Mother also smiled, "I didn't expect we'd have such a connection."
Chi Yan only then realized that the lady Chu Yang had mentioned being trapped in the elevator was his own mother. "Mom, are you okay? Yang Yang told me a lady was trapped in the elevator. I didn't know it was you. Why didn't you call me?"
Chi Yan's Mother: "It wasn't a big deal, so I didn't want to bother you. Oh, I said I bought you some clothes, didn't I? Here you go."
"Thank you, Mom."
Chu Yang then realized that she and Chi Yan's Mother had similar tastes since they had bought Chi Yan the same patterned tie.
Chi Yan's Mother then learned more about Chu Yang, that she was from A University, majoring in literature, and had previously won second place in a national Chinese language competition. Overall, she was an outstanding student. Combined with the earlier incident, Chi Yan's Mother was quite satisfied with Chu Yang.
However, even if she wasn't satisfied, she wasn't the type of mother to interfere with her child's choices. As a university professor, she had progressive thoughts and respected her son's decisions.
Soon after, Chi Yan's Mother left, but not before telling Chu Yang, "If my son ever mistreats you, you can come to me." She also gave Chu Yang the bracelet she was wearing. Chu Yang wanted to decline, but Chi Yan told her to accept it. In the end, the two even added each other on WeChat.
Chu Yang nodded, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Alright, I'll be going now."
"Goodbye, Auntie."
After his mother left, Chi Yan hugged Chu Yang, "My mom really likes you."
Chu Yang was also happy, "Hmph, what if your mom didn't like me?"
Chi Yan: "What would we do? At most, we'd live separately if we got married in the future. Anyway, I don't really live with my parents now. They're quite busy. Although my mom is a professor, she often has to go somewhere for research, sometimes even going on business trips for a year or half a year. Even if she didn't like you, we'd just see each other less often in the future. It's us who have to live our lives. As for my mom, she has my dad."
Chi Yan had studied the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. It mainly depends on the son's attitude. He would never leave his Yang Yang, no matter what. As for his mom, he would just be filial to her. After all, it was his Yang Yang who saved his life. From now on, he belonged to her.
After lunch, Chi Yan returned to the company, while Chu Yang went home with bags of clothes.
The day before school started, Chi Yan brought Chu Yang to the company's promotional photoshoot location early in the morning. The marketing department's manager was also present.
"Would you like to wear your own clothes or the ones we've prepared?" the manager asked Chu Yang.
Chu Yang did bring clothes, mainly because Chi Yan said that she felt Chu Yang's clothes had more of a vibe. Chu Yang thought about it and still brought them along. Not only that, she also brought her staff and crystal ball, although no one really knew if they were real or not. In everyone's eyes, these were probably just props.
Chu Yang looked at Chi Yan: "What do you think?"
Of course, Chi Yan felt that Chu Yang looked better in her own clothes. "Then just wear your own clothes."
Chu Yang went to change her clothes and came back with makeup on. The photographer was super excited when they saw her. "Is this the dark witch? It looks so much like one! Come, come, stand over here."
"Click, click..."
Following the photographer's suggestions, Chu Yang struck several poses. Meanwhile, Chi Yan kept staring at her intently. Finally, when the photoshoot ended, Chi Yan quickly handed Chu Yang some water and fruits.
