Ye Baixiu and Bai Peiluan emerged from the VIP passageway, only to find that their son and daughter-in-law were absent. With brows furrowed in worry, Bai Peiluan unexpectedly spotted the young woman who had saved her and her husband at sea, yet left without leaving her name?
Bai Peiluan excitedly jabbed at Ye Baixiuâs side. âBaixiu, see that girl? Isnât she the one who saved us at sea? What a coincidence to meet her here!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Baixiu gazed intently and realized it was indeed her. Fate seemed to be playing some mysterious cards that day.
Ye Xingguang didnât wear makeup today. To make a good impression on her in-laws, her face was scrubbed clean. She wore a pair of jeans, a white shirt, and her thick, wavy hair fell lightly over her shoulders. She looked both charming and beautiful.
After all, as her mother told her, elders usually like this kind of appearance, not overly seductive, just elegant and charming.
Ye Baixiu and Bai Peiluan strode over to Ye Xingguang, and Bai Peiluan extended her hand to grip Ye Xingguangâs. âYoung lady, we meet again. It must be destiny.â
Ye Xingguang was surprised, but then she also recognized Ye Baixiu and Bai Peiluan, smiled back, âUncle, Auntie, what a coincidence.â
âCompletely unexpected indeed. Last time we parted, you didnât leave any contact information. Iâve been regretting that. Please donât disappear again. We must express our gratitude for your help. Do you live in the capital?â Bai Peiluan engaged in warm conversation.
Ye Xingguang shook her head. âNo, Iâm studying at a university here, now I work here.â
âGreat, you work in the capital. Come visit us sometimes. Iâll cook for you personally. My cooking is not bad. Letâs go home with us now.â
âAuntie, maybe another day, Iâm here to pick up someone today.â
âWho are you picking up? Iâll accompany you. Afterward, we can all go to our house for dinner.â
Regardless of anything, she must express her gratitude to the girl today.
Ye Xingguang said nervously, âAuntie, itâs really not convenient today. Iâm here to pick up my future in-laws, whom Iâve never met. Iâm so nervous. Could I come over for dinner another day?â
Bai Peiluan looked both regretful and envious. âWhose parents are so fortunate to have you as a daughter-in-law?â
Isnât there some truth to the saying that comparisons lead to harm!
Her future daughter-in-law, after making a few phone calls, still couldnât be persuaded to show up.
Bai Peiluan patted Ye Xingguangâs hand sympathetically.
âDonât be nervous, young lady. With a daughter-in-law like you, your in-laws must be absolutely beaming.â
Ye Xingguang anxiously, tugged at her hair, âBut they donât seem to like me. My boyfriend is so nervous that heâs holed up in the restroom leaving me attending them. Auntie, could you teach me some common phrases that elders like? I simply donât know how to respond if they donât like me.â
âHow could anyone not like you?â said Bai Peiluan, incredulous and perplexed.
If it were up to her, she would be over the moon. Unfortunately, people live their own lives, which often made her feel disheartened as she did not have such a wonderful daughter-in-law.
Ye Xingguang also felt wronged: âThere are some reasons, and they might not want me to be their daughter-in-law. They might even ask me to break up with my boyfriend and I donât know how to respond if that happens.â
The more Bai Peiluan listened, the more annoyed she became. Which in-laws didnât know how to appreciate a good thing when they saw it?
Bai Peiluan held Ye Xingguangâs hand and spoke with earnestness, âYoung lady, take Auntieâs advice. If the elders donât see a value in your marriage, you should give it serious consideration. If it doesnât work out, you should consider leavingâ¦â
