Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 337: Once you accept the two women, the female ghost and the female demon will be easier to accept.

What kind of path is this?

Dual cultivation? Joyful meditation?
Li Man was full of questions, but the current situation was too awkward, so she subconsciously looked away and did not intend to disturb them on the spot. She planned to ask them later when she had the chance.

But her best friend also recognized Gu Zhao and immediately tugged at Li Man's sleeve, pointing to Gu Zhao's table, "Sister Man, isn't that your son?"

At this moment, Li Man had no choice but to look at Gu Zhao in the direction her best friend was pointing, and she also saw that Gu Zhao was looking at her.

"Yes!" Li Man nodded through gritted teeth.

Gu Zhao also grinned slightly, not expecting that his mother had not only come to this street, but also entered this store.

With so many old shops in Guangzhou, and considering that this place is far from both my home and Xiao Ya's neighborhood, it's such a coincidence that we bumped into each other!
Gu Zhao looked up at the doorway, and Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi naturally followed his gaze. They then saw a woman who looked to be in her thirties staring intently at them.

It was obvious that Gu Zhao knew this woman.

Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi didn't speculate that the woman was Gu Zhao's girlfriend, since they had known each other since before Gu Zhao graduated.

Jiang Shishi asked softly, "Your sister?"

Xiao Ya wiped her hands with a tissue on the table, a little nervous. "Is she my cousin or my older cousin? Will she tell your parents?"

Thanks to the pills and medicinal wine given to her by Gu Zhao, Li Man's five senses are now very strong. Although she is still within the range of ordinary people, she was able to hear the two women's whispered questions clearly.

My mother was overjoyed!

However, the woman next to Li Man did not hear this. Seeing Gu Zhao with two women on his left and right, she felt a little regretful but also filled with gossip. She looked at Gu Zhao and the two women beside him with curiosity.

She knew Gu Zhao; after all, he was tall, handsome, and polite, and she had a deep and good impression of him, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of introducing him to someone.

But what is the current situation?
These two women looked bright and charming, with natural expressions, clear eyes, and excellent taste in clothing. They didn't seem to be in that line of work, so why were they both showing such excessive intimacy towards Gu Zhao?

The woman, who also came from a well-off family and was in her forties, had enough experience to tell at a glance that both women were decent girls. So, suppressing her gossipy nature, she tugged at Li Man's sleeve and said, "Sister Man, how about we go to another place?"

"You've already seen it, let's go over there." Li Man replied calmly, and then walked over.

Gu Zhao stood up, and Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi also stood up, looking slightly nervous. "Hello, sister!"

Li Man tried to hold back, but ultimately couldn't. A smile appeared on her lips as she looked at Gu Zhao, "Aren't you going to introduce them?"

Gu Zhao sighed, "This is Xiao Ya, and this is Jiang Shishi. They are both musicians in the Yangcheng Folk Music Orchestra."

Li Man's eyes lit up.

Like the Yangcheng Folk Music Orchestra and the Yangcheng Art and Dance Troupe, the Yangcheng Folk Music Orchestra is a legitimate public institution. In the eyes of ordinary people, such institutions are not part of the entertainment industry, but rather belong to artists.

Then Gu Zhao introduced Li Man to the two women, "This is my mother."

This! Is! My! Mom!
The four large characters echoed in Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi's minds like a resounding bell, leaving the two women somewhat dazed and unable to react for a moment.

“Mom!” Jiang Shishi repeated.

"Mom?" Xiao Ya asked.

Then, the two women jolted awake, their eyes filled with a mixture of shock, a smile, a fawning tone, and a hint of fear as they looked at Li Man. "Hello, Auntie!" The two women bowed slightly in unison, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Mom, Aunt Zhao, please sit down. I'll order a few more dishes."

Gu Zhao, however, seemed unfazed and casually gestured for the two to sit down.

Although I didn't expect to run into them, it's okay since we've run into them. If we can't even resolve Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi's issues, how will we resolve Zhuo Qingyan and Li Qingshuang's issues?

If we get Mom to accept two women first, then get her to accept a female ghost and a bluebird fairy, wouldn't that be easier?

Taking it step by step, following the established procedures, Gu Zhao felt that his operation was very mature and steady.

Gu Zhao: ()
Gu Zhao scanned the QR code to order food, choosing two dishes that her mother liked. Then she handed the menu to Aunt Zhao, saying, "Take a look and see what you'd like to eat."

"I'm fine with anything, you can order whatever you want." Zhao Feifei hurriedly waved her hand, her focus now was on listening to the gossip, and ordering food was secondary.

But how could Li Man possibly be asking all sorts of questions here?
So she casually inquired about the two women's hometowns and family situations, and then chatted with them about topics between women, even mentioning her best friend Zhao Feifei's daughter-in-law.

“Zhang Xinyao? We know her,” Jiang Shishi said. “She’s from the National Song and Dance Troupe. She’s a really good dancer. I’ve seen her perform with them sometimes.”

The folk music ensemble and the song and dance troupe are both part of the Guangzhou Art Troupe, and they sometimes perform compilations, so it's not surprising that they know each other.

"Zhang Xinyao is beautiful and a wonderful dancer; she's the flower of the dance troupe," Xiao Ya echoed, praising her to Zhao Feifei, who beamed with joy and invited them to the wedding as well.

However, Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi declined, citing the uncertain performance schedule.

But as soon as she heard about the performance, Li Man asked about the folk music troupe's recent performance schedule and silently made a mental note of it.

……

The seafood feast proceeded without any awkward moments.

As the conversation deepened, and seeing that Li Man didn't ask any embarrassing questions, Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi relaxed.

One of them came from a scholarly family, and the other was from a business family. They were both poised, clever, and cheerful, beautiful, and had sweet voices, which made Li Man smile constantly.

Li Man's smile never faded until the meal ended, and then she started to feel conflicted.

Xiao Ya is quiet and gentle, while Jiang Shishi is warm and cheerful. They each have their own merits and are both ideal daughters-in-law in her mind. However, their simultaneous appearance at the same time has put her in a dilemma.

Based on the scene she saw when she first entered and the phenomena she observed during their conversation, she could tell that both girls were interested in her son.

"Good lad, what makes you so special..." Just as Li Man thought of this, she realized her son's abilities. In fact, if he showed even a little bit of them, he could indeed attract girls.

"Sister Man, your son is amazing!"

After leaving the restaurant and saying their goodbyes, Zhao Feifei couldn't help but say to Li Man, "Two such beautiful girls, both pursuing your son!"

Li Man couldn't suppress the urge to smile again, and complained, seemingly genuinely, "That brat! He has two such good girls, it wouldn't be good to let either of them down, how am I supposed to choose!"

Zhao Feifei, "..."
