The dishes Yu Minglang brought to Xiao Qian’s family were in no way inferior to what they’d order outside, which amazed Chen Zilong.
Xiao Qian, disdainful of his lack of ambition, kicked him in the leg.
“I’m not even talking about you yet, haven’t you eaten or seen this before? What a disgrace!”
“Sis, what’s the deal, haven’t even married in yet, and already siding with them? Besides, he’s so rich, he definitely doesn’t care about a meal like this, Ai Ma!” Chen Zilong was beaten by Xiao Qian again.
“You know nothing!!” Xiao Qian felt like beating her brother just from his expression.
“It was all you who ordered the expensive stuff…” Chen Zilong spoke, only to be hit by Xiao Qian each time, scaring him into silence.
Once Xiao Qian stopped, her playboy brother shrank onto the sofa and cautiously spoke.
“Sis, he’s so much better than that bitch from before.”
Hmm, always hitting others, I guess praising your boyfriend is never wrong, right? With the mentality of flattering non-stop, Chen Zilong nervously complimented Yu Minglang.
And then—
“It’s none of your business!” How dare he compare Yu Minglang to the bitch, Xiao Qian slapped a magazine onto his face and went upstairs.
Chen Zilong was dumbfounded.
What the hell, even flattering gets you hit?
“You good-for-nothing, always thinking about eating!” Jia Xiufang slapped her son and went upstairs to find Xiao Qian.
Chen Zilong picked up a piece of meat and murmured while eating.
“Why did Mother hit me too…”
Xiao Qian saw Jia Xiufang entering and began speaking directly.
“Mom, don’t say anything, I know what I’m doing.”
“…Is he really not going to bully you?” Jia Xiufang’s greatest fear was that her daughter would follow her own path of marrying unsuitable men.
“Look how much I’m bullying him, has he ever fought back? Don’t worry about this nonsense, it’ll be great if I stop hitting him, how could he ever lay a hand on me?”
If Yu Minglang actually started to hit women, the world would truly be in chaos. His self-control ability was amazing. In her past life, she never saw him lose his temper, except for once…
Xiao Qian couldn’t help laughing when she thought of Yu Minglang’s furious look.
Jia Xiufang pushed her, “What are you laughing at, you silly girl!”
“It’s okay, he’s tough, I’m training his self-control when it comes to emotions, all in the name of contributing to our economy.” Xiao Qian began to spew nonsense with her eyes wide open.
“Qian’er, as for you two… Mom has always been uncertain… I feel like the lad’s situation is too good, a bit…”
Whether it’s good or not, it depends on the comparison.
With Ni Jianren as a foil to Yu Minglang, even Chen Zilong, a brat, knew who’s more important; naturally, Jia Xiufang understood as well.
It’s because his situation is so good that she’s afraid her daughter will suffer.
“How am I any worse? Am I missing an arm, a leg, or common sense?”
Xiao Qian’s emotions were now all riled up.
She hadn’t initially made up her mind about whether to be with Yu Minglang, after all, between them lay a lifetime of events. In truth, she wasn’t very keen on engaging with him.
However, as she started following Yu Minglang’s train of thought, she gradually became accepting of the relationship.
“My girl is certainly not bad, but he’s older than you, and you still have to go to school. The two of you, separated by distance… what if he lets you down…”
“In his old unit, except for mosquitoes that flew in, they’re all men, what do you have to worry about? As a man with zero romantic experience, what’s there to fear? If anything, he should be worried about us!” There are so many young men in the university, who should be uncertain about whom anyway?
Jia Xiufang was rendered speechless by Xiao Qian, smacking her lips. “Why do I feel like you two sound so alike when you speak?”
Both of them countered others in advance, making it difficult to find any reason to refute them.
“Birds of a feather flock together; we are ill-fated…”
“By the way, in the private room, what did he whisper in your ear when he leaned in?” Jia Xiufang was still curious about this unresolved mystery.
“I’m not telling you.”
Xiao Qian’s face flushed as she thought about the words he had whispered in her ear earlier.
He said, “I like how you’re mischievous and act like you don’t care, but secretly look out for me.”
Jia Xiufang was scared that Xiao Qian couldn’t keep hold of Yu Minglang, so she deliberately put on a show for her mother, while also trying to scare Yu Minglang to see his attitude, yet he saw right through her.
“Qian’er, I’m worried about you when you go to school… I’m afraid that your damn father will cause trouble.”
“What’s there to be afraid of, can he really go to school and cause trouble?” Xiao Qian believed that the hand Yu Minglang had shown outside the court would be enough for Chen Lin to ponder for a while.
“You never know with him, that heartless bastard!”
“Aren’t you done worrying about him?”
“Worry about him, my ass! After treating my Niang San like that, I consider him dead!”
Xiao Qian could dissolve her mother’s hatred but deliberately didn’t discuss it.
Some people, let them be enemies and forget about them. It’s time to move on; her trash dad shouldn’t show up in her and her mother’s lives ever again.
“Mom, I’ll be going to school soon, and there’s one thing I need to make clear to you; don’t contact the Chen family’s relatives anymore. I estimate they won’t come over for a short while, my dad doesn’t dare tell them about the divorce. My grandma is getting old, and he doesn’t dare say it to her either. For now, don’t say anything to the Chen family about the divorce.”
“What about your Fourth Uncle’s family? Fourth Aunt has a good relationship with us; is it okay to keep the matter hidden from her…” Although Jia Xiufang was reluctant to part with the relationship with Fourth Uncle’s family, having dealt with them for so many years, keeping it a secret felt a bit off.
“I’ll handle his side, you just avoid it. Fourth Uncle is a decent person, but he’s easily swayed and can’t keep his mouth shut. If he knows you’re divorcing, he’ll tell the other uncles and they’ll come to bother you daily.”
Xiao Qian was now the backbone of the family, handling everything herself.
“Okay, Mother listens to you.” Jia Xiufang had full faith in her daughter.
“Also, keep your distance from my Second Maternal Uncle’s family, especially Second Maternal Aunt. She’s not an easy woman, and getting close to her will bring no good.”
“I also know she’s not great, but your Grandma is still at her house. If I don’t get along with her, will your Grandma not have to look at her face?”
While the mother-daughter pair were chatting, Chen Zilong called downstairs.
“Mom! My Second Aunt called!”
As Jia Xiufang was about to go downstairs to answer the phone, Xiao Qian pressed the speakerphone, and Second Aunt’s shrill voice came through.
“Get this old hag out of here, she shit the bed, and it’s pissing me off!”
“Who’s the old hag? Don’t you ever get old?” Xiao Qian retorted sharply.
The ‘old hag’ Second Aunt was referring to was Xiao Qian’s Grandma, Jia Xiufang’s own mother.
“You become disrespectful after getting into college? Daring to speak like that to your elder!”
“You dare to call your own mother-in-law an old hag, I’m just learning from you.”
Picking a fight with a boss while being a loser yourself? Pfft!
