How a couple raised their children into adults was a good gauge to predict how easy it would be to get along with them.
She had only one daughter. No matter how outstanding Mo Liuxi was, if his parents were not easy to get along with, she would never allow her daughter to marry into their family and suffer.
Yan Su sighed helplessly. Just revealing the fact that she had a child was enough to shock her. If she now said that the father was her younger brother, there was no way Luosang was going to be able to drive properly. âIt really isnât him. Regarding my child, can you let me finish the concert before telling you all about it? Iâll let you meet the childâs father then, too.â
âThe childâs father?â Luosangâs eyes almost dropped out of their sockets. âYan Su, when did you even get yourself a boyfriend? How did I not know about it? Are we even friends? Youâd better not tell me that youâre already married now!â
âWell, that... you donât have to worry about...â Yan Su was feeling slightly apologetic towards her.
âYour childâs already so big, and you still havenât gotten round to getting a marriage certificate?â Luosang grew increasingly worried the more she listened. âJust which bastard was it who got you pregnant before marriage? Auntie, have you met him before?â
âIâve met him before. I just havenât met his parents. I came this time so that the parents from both sides could meet each other,â Jiang Peiying said with a wide smile.
âThatâs more like it!â Luosang nodded her head. âI am most disgusted by irresponsible men. But you have to be careful, Auntie. Yan Su is too naïve and gullible when it comes to relationships.â
However, she had a bad impression of Yan Suâs boyfriend. The child was already over a year old, and they had not gotten married yet.
If she had known about this from the start, she would have tried her best to stop it. There were too many scumbags on the streets these days. It was common for a man to get a woman pregnant and promise to marry her after she had borne his child, only to keep delaying the marriage after that and eventually ending up with another woman altogether.
She could not believe that Yan Su had made such a basic mistake.
Judging from Yan Suâs actions, however, she seemed to like the guy very much. As a result, she did not say much about him.
However, she already equated that man to Shi Xiang deep down in her heart. After all, Shi Xiang was the most objectionable man Yan Su had ever dated.
She genuinely disliked Shi Xiang; just the look on his face was enough to make her mad. However, for Susuâs sake, she had kept her opinions to herself.
âDonât worry. Iâll be very careful.â Jiang Peiying glanced at Su Yan with a humorless smile.
Yan Su felt ill at ease and quickly changed the topic. âSangsang, what will we be eating? Donât go too far. Letâs just eat somewhere nearby. We still have to sit for our exams later.â
âItâs your momâs first time there. Of course weâll have to take her somewhere nice where the food is good!â Luosang said firmly.
She considered the fact that Jiang Peiying was from Jiangxi, and to cater to her taste buds, she chose a restaurant that specialized in Hunan cuisine. The quality of the food at both restaurants was comparable.
At the dining table, Jiang Peiying was very satisfied with the food. After all, Xia City was known for its pungent and spicy foods. âLuosang, youâre so well-mannered and mature. Your parents must have brought you up very well!â
Halfway through the meal, Jiang Peiying began her investigations.
Yan Suâs chopstick quivered in her hand, while Luosang ladled some soup into Yan Yanâs bowl, unaware of what was going on. âAuntie, thatâs not true. Iâm not as mature as you think I am. I just got a little better after getting married. I guess everyone has a transition period.â
âFair enough.â Jiang Peiying was not too satisfied with this answer; this was not what she wanted to hear. âBut Iâm sure your parents must have had something to do with it. Susu told me that your results since middle school were always very good. Even in university, you were still at the top of your class. I, on the other hand, was a failure. I wanted Susu to take over our family business, but she ran off instead...â
