Chapter 648: Chapter 165: Ms. Ren and Ning Yuhuan, Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Meet

In the afternoon, Ms. Ren specially chose a somewhat upscale restaurant. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Such a restaurant not only has a better environment but also isn’t as noisy as a budget restaurant would be, crowded with people.

Ms. Ren valued her first meeting with Ning Yuhuan quite highly.

She came from a well-mannered family and paid great attention to etiquette.

Ms. Ren chose a window seat where one could see the street outside, offering a broad view.

"Are you there yet?"

Ms. Ren sent a message to her dear son.

Five minutes later, Xu Lin replied, "Just parked the car, what’s the restaurant name?"

So Ms. Ren sent him the name of the restaurant.

Xu Lin took a look; it was on the fourth floor.

"Let’s go, we’ll take the elevator up."

Xu Lin held Ning Yuhuan’s hand.

"Oh."

Ning Yuhuan thought it would just be a casual meal as usual.

It was Friday, and they would go home after dinner.

So Ning Yuhuan didn’t think too much about it, just followed Xu Lin.

She had no idea they were going to meet his parents.

Actually, meeting the parents comes with its own considerations. If you can meet the parents, it means the other person really likes you and their parents can accept you. If not, don’t bother, move on to the next, because the other person is just playing with you or doesn’t want to introduce you to their parents, or their parents don’t like you; it’s the same for both genders.

They took the elevator up and quickly reached the fourth floor.

The fourth floor was for dining, with all sorts of restaurants, including a few that were relatively upscale with fewer people, after all, a meal could cost thousands or more, which the average salary-earning person couldn’t afford; buying two pounds of good quality beef at a market would only cost a bit over a hundred.

Xu Lin saw the restaurant Ms. Ren mentioned.

An English-named restaurant.

But whether it was a foreign restaurant was hard to say; it was probably run by locals, just with an English name.

Ms. Ren had been keeping an eye on the entrance and finally saw Xu Lin.

Xu Lin was seen holding Ning Yuhuan as they walked in, and Ms. Ren was impressed; Ning Yuhuan was the kind of girl to make a good impression at first glance.

Ning Yuhuan’s eyes were very pretty as she curiously observed the restaurant environment.

Quickly, her gaze met Ms. Ren’s.

Ms. Ren was a successful woman, not too successful but not lacking either.

As everyone knows, a successful woman carries an air of presence and elegance, just as successful men do. This group, regardless of gender, is collectively known as social elites, and when the average person stands beside them, the contrast is evident — they would be absolutely outshined.

This group is meant to standout.

Not to mention the presence and elegance, but even in terms of appearance, elites keep themselves well-presented, whereas an ordinary office worker might not. For example, women might just do a simple tidy-up.

But when entering a more advanced workplace, one is expected to be well-groomed because it’s basic social etiquette, not just to look better but simply as a social courtesy. Even if you’re not good-looking, at least you should make the most of your appearance.

Out and about, respect first goes to appearance, meaning you should present yourself well before treating others; respecting yourself is respecting others.

As for those who say appearance isn’t important, it’s clear they haven’t done well in life, just like those who say education doesn’t matter; they associate only with the general populace and have a limited understanding, thinking that’s all there is to the world, lacking a learning mindset.

Or those particularly rich people, they don’t need much concerning their appearance, even wearing slippers is fine, but the wealthy are exceptions and not relevant for discussing specific issues, as they don’t apply broadly.

Ms. Ren is like this; she presents herself well, and on top of that, she’s pretty. At thirty-nine years old, she looks like she’s in her early thirties, considered quite youthful among women.

In summary, Ms. Ren was the most eye-catching in the restaurant; no one could compete with her.

So Ning Yuhuan noticed Ms. Ren at once.

But suddenly, she felt as if she had met this lady somewhere before. Ning Yuhuan couldn’t recall but just felt a sense of familiarity.

"Here!"

Suddenly, Ms. Ren waved to her.

Huh?

Is she calling me?

Ning Yuhuan was puzzled.

And Xu Lin led her over, leaving Ning Yuhuan a bit befuddled.

"This is my mom, I brought you to meet her today."

Xu Lin introduced Ms. Ren’s identity as he pulled her in front of Ms. Ren.

"Oh, hello, auntie!"

Ning Yuhuan was startled, hurriedly greeting her, and became instantly nervous; she hadn’t expected this woman to be Xu Lin’s mother.

"It’s okay, have a seat!"

Ms. Ren smiled gently.

But Ning Yuhuan was very restrained; Xu Lin let her sit down, and then sat himself, but she sat there nervously, hardly daring to breathe, fearing Ms. Ren wouldn’t like her.

"Auntie, my name is Ning Yuhuan!" she promptly introduced herself.

"Auntie knows your name, Xu Lin told me. Auntie will call you Hanhan! Plus, we met last year; you even called me teacher then, do you remember?"

"Oh, I remember now!"

Ning Yuhuan was enlightened, thinking no wonder Xu Lin’s mom seemed so familiar initially; they had met last year. At that time, she thought Ms. Ren was just a teacher at school, so she greeted her as "teacher."
