Saving the 'sinking' ship

The chopsticks from everyone's hands dropped on their dishes as the Chen family members saw Zixin entering with a woman by his side.

His mother Chen Zhilan aka Chen Serena turned to face her husband in massive shock.

"Isn't she Cai Guiying? Ai's best friend?"

Jianyu nodded.

"And he brought her here all of a sudden," she urgently whispered.

He nodded again.

"That means…" she gasped silently, "He brought his girlfriend to introduce her to us!??"

He nodded, and this time she smacked him on his head. "What are you doing by just nodding your head!? Our son brought his girlfriend home! How come you are not panicking!?"

Jianyu was speechless. "What is there to panic for?"

"I didn't cook any grand feast to welcome her!" She glared at him. "What if she gets disappointed at us!? What if she leaves Zixin because we weren't good hosts!? Do you understand the gravity of this situation Mr. Chen!?"
