Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Mismatched in Social Status

"Mom," Zhang Xue looked at her mother, the old Buddha, who indeed started to investigate Li Feng’s household registration, her peripheral vision involuntarily glanced towards Li Feng.

Although Zhang Xue had just met Li Feng and they had spent less than three hours together, from the limited contact, Li Feng was definitely not just the minor intern listed on his business card.

Baili Hai, the eldest son of Pengcheng Group, with wealth, power, and connections, stood like an immovable mountain before her, yet he was stepped on by him, something she had witnessed with her own eyes.

He could very well be a gang leader in society.

Mu Yuyan’s mother listened to her daughter’s coquettish complaints but paid no heed, it really was true that daughters don’t remain under mothers’ control. Before anything had properly started, she was already turning her elbows out.

"Li Feng, you should be able to understand a mother’s feelings; after all, it was not easy for me to raise my daughter." After saying this, Mu’s mother looked at Li Feng. Although she didn’t press him for an answer, her words left one with no choice but to respond.

Li Feng looked relaxed, "Auntie, you make it sound so secretive. It’s no secret; I’m not a doctoral student or a master’s graduate."

"Ah!"

One must know that their family was of a scholarly tradition; starting from her great-grandfather, who was a professor and an educator, so was her grandfather, and so was her father. The wives they married, and including the old Buddha herself, she was a deputy dean, a professor.

"Heh, then during the time you were supposed to be at school, what were you doing? Could it be due to family circumstances that you couldn’t afford to attend school?"

Li Feng looked at Mu’s mother, who was laying traps everywhere: "Hmm, you could say that, my family was poor so I worked for a living for a few years."

Mu Yuyan’s mother looked at the sunny and patient Li Feng without a trace of irritation or even anger: "Hmm, you’ve indeed suffered quite a bit. It’s said that children from poor families take charge early. You can shoulder this burden and didn’t forget to return to school to charge up, quite impressive."

"But."

Here it came.

Mu Yushi looked towards the old Buddha. Praising at first, but when ’but’ followed, it would be time to reveal the hidden dagger. Big sister, you better be ready. Old Buddha’s sharp tongue isn’t something just anyone can handle.

"It’s often said that marriages should be between equals in social status, you must have heard this. I don’t mean any disrespect, but a person’s family, their living environment, the social circles they frequent, all of these have a big impact on a person."

"Our Yuyan has been carefully pampered since childhood. Although she is not a rich man’s daughter, she has been spoiled by her father. In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, even if not the best, she has lived to a wealthy standard."

"Mom."

Zhang Xue attempted to interrupt her mother for the third time.

"Shut up."

Mu Yuyan’s mother cut her off directly: "I am being responsible for both of you. You should know that if your worlds don’t align, even if you’re fond of each other now, it will be difficult to continue, especially when facing life’s trials."

Mu Yuyan’s mother stowed away her previous benevolence, even though she still wore a smile and her posture remained dignified and elegant.

"Li, if you want to be friends with Yuyan, it’s not that you can’t. I’m not the sort to despise the poor and love the rich or even discriminate against someone’s family."

"Let’s be reasonable."

Li Feng looked at Mu Yuyan’s mother intending to be ’reasonable’ and somehow felt it was a joke coming from her.

"Auntie, I’m all ears."

Li Feng still looked indifferent, not at all provoked by Mu’s mother’s series of questions.

Mu Yuyan’s mother spoke very seriously.

"Three conditions, if you can meet the three conditions I state, I will permit your relationship, I absolutely won’t interfere with your romance, even when the time comes for marriage, both her father and I will offer our blessings. If you can’t meet them..."

"You can’t blame me for beating the lovebirds with a stick."

Li Feng found the situation interesting as he looked at Mu’s mother. It wasn’t his first time meeting parents; Zhang Xue’s parents did not have Mu’s mother’s forbearance. If it weren’t for the child in Zhang Xue’s belly back then, they probably wouldn’t have agreed to the marriage.

"Just say it."

Mu’s mother glanced at Li Feng who had always remained composed and calm. This kid was more crafty than she thought. Most young people in their twenties would be restless facing these questions, unless they were very confident.

Looking at his business card and what little she knew about him, where did his confidence come from?

"First, if you want to start a family, a house is unavoidable. I don’t require you to be from Sea City, but at least you should own a Sea City property, no less than 150 square meters, not outside the city center, and it must be a new property."

Mu Yushi glanced at her mother; old Buddha, your demands are not low at all. Sea City was an ultra-first tier city, having an ultra-first tier price for property. A 150-square-meter house in the city center, to begin with, would cost at least a couple of million.

Big sister’s boyfriend was just an intern. Does he make over ten thousand a month? Even if he saved every penny, it wouldn’t be enough to buy a bedroom.

"Second, I’ve raised my daughter so carefully, if you want to marry her, a betrothal gift is naturally essential. Six hundred sixty-six thousand for the betrothal gift, and the five golds and a diamond are a must."

Mu’s mother announced, while observing Li Feng’s reaction. Li Feng nodded his agreement, mumbling, "As it should be."

"Third, we, the Mu Family, come from a scholarly background. An undergraduate diploma is too low for us; it would be too embarrassing. I don’t require you to earn a doctorate or master’s degree. However, if you can pass the judicial examination and obtain a lawyer qualification, then this condition would also be considered met."

"Judicial examination?"

Li Feng paused for a moment.

Mu Yuyan rolled her eyes: "Mom, what kind of request is this? He doesn’t study law at all, asking him to take the judicial examination is deliberately making things difficult."

Mu Yushi also clucked her tongue; she even felt a bit sorry for her older sister, but also pitied herself. When it came her turn to find a partner, meeting these criteria might be difficult; old Buddha, are you planning to make us become old maids?

The first two conditions could be resolved with money, but the third one, the judicial examination, was known to be one of the most difficult exams, especially if you hadn’t studied law, without even the basics, not to mention the thick books that needed to be memorized.

The examination was a headache even for this genius young lady, not to mention for someone who barely managed to pass into college.

Mu’s mother showed no signs of wavering: "This is already the most generous offer. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even have this chance."

"Li, these are my three conditions. If you can meet them, I bless you both; if you can’t, please come to your senses. You should forget about chasing after my daughter, Yuyan."

"Auntie, won’t you reconsider?"

Li Feng straightened up and looked at Mu Yuyan’s mother.

Zhang Xue bit her lip, turning her head to look at Li Feng, who was being troubled by her mother. Was he angry? Before, in Heavenly Palace, he had knocked down Baili Hai to the ground without any warning and stepped on him.
