Chapter 1116 The First Flutter of Love
Liang Cheng thought for a moment, then said, "Grandpa and Grandma, it's still far from certain, but since you asked, I can't not tell you. But please don't tell anyone else."
Upon hearing this, the two elderly people instantly perked up and were no longer sleepy.
Grandpa Liang hurriedly asked, "Who is that girl? Is she your girlfriend? What is her relationship with the Fu family?"
They had been wanting to introduce Liang Cheng to potential partners for a long time, but Liang Cheng had never had the time. Either he met them, or he didn't feel anything for them.
What Li Anna did to the Qian family shocked those in the know in Beijing and began to change their views.
When looking for a partner, you can't choose someone with a bad personality. It's better to have no help than to marry a ticking time bomb.
Liang Cheng replied, "That's Meilan's cousin, Linghua. The songs Grandma plays when she does her square dancing are sung by her..."
Liang Cheng carefully told his elders what he knew.
Madam Liang was taken aback. "Is that girl really alright? The cultural troupe hasn't been doing too well these past few years."
Liang Cheng smiled and said, "She's fine. I know you don't believe me and I'll have someone investigate, but please respect her decision."
Grandpa Liang stroked his sparse beard and said softly, "Alright, this is what I promised you. Liu Meilan's cousin, who can even visit the Fu family, must be someone the Fu family approves of."
After thinking for a moment, Madam Liang smiled and said, "Old Fu and his wife are the kind of people who can become Sun Wukong with a little hair on them. They are shrewd and capable, and I'm sure they have a good impression of that girl named Linghua."
Old Master Liang nodded. "Yes. Liang Cheng, if you're going down a political career, you need to be careful about dating and marriage. Are you sure you like that girl?"
Liang Cheng blushed slightly, then looked up. "At first, I didn't know I liked her, but at Liu Yibang's wedding, when I saw her sing, I knew my heart was racing. After that, I couldn't control myself and shamelessly asked for her phone number. After I got back, I always made excuses to talk to her about my hometown in Inner Mongolia. After sending her a text message, I would look forward to her reply... Sometimes she was busy and didn't reply in time. When I didn't see the message, I always felt a sense of loss..."
Grandpa Liang and Grandma Liang looked at each other and then laughed. "You brat, it takes you so long to realize this. Your parents have raised you to be a good child. You've never been in a relationship or had a crush on anyone since you were little."
Grandpa Liang chuckled, "Yes, I was worried before that you didn't like women and preferred men, which would mean the Liang family line would end."
Hearing this, Liang Cheng's forehead was covered in black lines. "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense. I just haven't met anyone I'm attracted to before, but my sexual orientation is absolutely normal. This is the first time, and it may be the last time, that I've paid so much attention to someone of the opposite sex, and that person can even stir my heart. Grandpa and Grandma, please don't object to me pursuing Linghua."
If the grandparents agree, the parents will basically agree as well.
After a moment of contemplation, Grandpa Liang said, "Your grandmother and I have made it clear that as long as the other party has a clean background and the girl is of good character, your grandmother and I will not stop her."
Liang Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'm fully confident."
"Why?" Old Madam Liang asked, puzzled. "Have you investigated?"
Liang Cheng nodded. "I've looked into it! Although it might be a bit offensive, I really want to date her and marry her! My job requires certain things, my every move, and my future partner's behavior all have requirements, so I'm taking this very seriously."
"As it turns out, Linghua is indeed an outstanding artist. Although she has a contract with an outside company, she also joined a performing arts troupe and spends two months each year performing in many places. She once went to a small island at sea to sing for the soldiers and ease their homesickness."
"Although she works in the entertainment industry, she doesn't have much involvement with it because of her cousin Liu Meilan and her cousin Liu Yiwen. She mainly releases albums and promotes songs. She only participates in formal commercial performances. She has never attended any drinking parties and is very disciplined in her personal conduct."
"Her parents were outstanding in their work in the province, very conscientious, and were also excellent local cadres. Although they were only at the lower level, they worked diligently for nearly 30 years. It's just that her father's health was a bit poor, so he retired early! Now she lives with her parents in Shenzhen, and she also accompanies them back to their hometown once or twice a year."
Hearing his grandson say that, Grandpa Liang smiled and said, "They say that people who aren't married aren't stable, and that's absolutely true! Now, just dating is enough for you to plan your life perfectly! Since you've already done the research, then we won't rush you!"
Hearing this, Liang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!"
At this moment, Madam Liang asked curiously, "You have feelings for Linghua, but does she have feelings for you?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng paused slightly, scratching the tip of his nose. "There should be! If not, why would she reply to my text message?"
Hearing this, Old Madam Liang was both amused and exasperated. "You're talking to her about things from your hometown and asking her for advice, of course she'll answer you! Even if she doesn't care about the monk, she should at least give her some face!"
Hearing this, Liang Cheng became slightly nervous. "Grandma, how can I make her feel that I'm pursuing her? Although I want to confess directly, what if I'm too direct and she feels like she's suddenly being rejected and not giving me a chance to pursue her?"
Madam Liang smiled and said, "A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman. This saying gives you the answer. Just like when you took the initiative to contact Linghua and helped her bring things, you've already established a friendship!"
"Isn't she going to perform on CCTV? Find your second uncle and ask him to find a way to get you in. Whether it's watching the performance or visiting her backstage, make sure you show your care and enthusiasm for Linghua."
"People have feelings, and she can sense them. If she is polite and accepts your enthusiasm, then the chances of you being interested are higher! If she is polite but firmly rejects your enthusiasm, then it means she doesn't have feelings for you."
Grandpa Liang agreed wholeheartedly, nodding repeatedly, "Your grandmother is right, you should do better! This girl should be staying at the Fu family's house tonight, right?"
Liang Cheng smiled and nodded, "Yes! Many of the younger generation of the Fu family don't live here. After dinner, they chatted for a while and then went home. So there are guest rooms available, but Sister-in-law Meilan insisted that they stay. Tomorrow morning after breakfast, we'll take Linghua to CCTV."
Madam Liang encouraged her, "Tomorrow I'll have our family make some of our specialty mutton buns. You take them over, then drive Linghua to work. Be proactive!"
Liang Cheng nodded, "Thank you, Grandma!"
"No need to thank me!" Old Madam Liang said with a smile. "If you can get married and have children soon, your grandfather and I might even be able to help take care of your kids! Just thinking about that gives me a lot of energy!"
Grandpa Liang quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes! It's rare for you to meet someone you like, so you must be proactive! After all, if you can see a good girl, others can too. If you're not proactive and someone else takes her away, you'll only have regrets!"
