Jia Xiufang couldnât even laugh, her family was just ordinary common folk, how did they end up becoming in-laws with such people?
Father Yuâs status was extraordinary, and Yu Minglangâs grandfather was no ordinary person either, now retired in his hometown in the Northeast, spending his days tending to flowers and birds. Back in the day, he had made military contributions on the battlefield. Yu Minglangâs grandmother was a painter, adept at painting classical beauties, and enjoyed a good reputation in the industry, with her disciples and grandchildren becoming professors in the country.
It was such an elite family that Jia Xiufang had never seen before, let alone talked about in the conversations with neighbors on the streets.
Not only did such a big shot come to her house, but he also took her daughter, who she had raised for 18 years, away by force. Jia Xiufangâs mood at this moment was complicated.
It was beyond happiness or unhappiness, she was just too shocked.
If it were in the past, would my Brother Lang be considered a Banner descendant, a royal relative? But he doesnât seem to have any playboy vibe. I feel like heâs just like the elder brother who fixes bicycles on our street, very down-to-earth, at most a knowledgeable bicycle repairer.â
Xiao Qian tapped on his head, âLook whoâs talking about being a playboy! Your Brother Lang is just being extra courteous to you, he is very capable outside, what bicycle repair elder brother, you really can talk nonsense!â
âHehe, Brother Langâs father uses bicycle belts, and Iâll have Brother Lang fix my bicycle for me- â Chen Zilong rambled this sentence, Xiao Qian originally wanted to teach her uneducated stupid younger brother, but when she thought about the scene, she couldnât help but laugh along.
âYou two stop the nonsense, can you just mess around with a person like that? Seriously, Qianâer, why didnât you tell me earlier? If I had known they were such a family, I would have prepared more. I knew they had a high threshold, but I didnât expect it to be this high â Qianâer, are you really okay with marrying into their family?â
She wasnât selling her daughter; her daughterâs choice of spouse and happiness came first, and everything else wasnât considered. This family was too scary, and Jia Xiufang was starting to feel a bit regretful.
âHow can anything happen? Am I still afraid that his father will poke my bicycle belt?â
âIâm talking business with you, and youâre acting like your younger brother. Itâs not good at all!â
It doesnât matter, just treat it as normal. Iâve seen his father many times, heâs not as terrifying as you think, and his brain isnât that much bigger. Heâs serious, but heâs nice to me.â
Playing chess with that old man, he even cheated on the chess pieces, whatâs there to be afraid of?
âSister, what does your boss look like in the company? Would he be particularly scary at home? Would he have the legendary grudge protection, scaring all the demons and ghosts away when they see him?â
âHave you read too many novels? What kind of grudge protection is this, where did you read this? Donât mention these feudal superstitions to his face, he doesnât like to listen.â
âQianâer, does his father know about our family situation? I mean me and your father getting divorced, and our little business, the Urban Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, and us being at the bottom of the listâ¦â
âMom, you stay away from Chen Zilong, your brain is infected by him, what Urban Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, those are old things, do you still rank them like this? And if you talk about commerce, Boss Yu is the one who does the business, who does he look down on? If heâs going to look down on somebody, it would be his son, the big profiteer. Moreover, werenât you just fine before? How come when you hear heâs a big boss, you get so scared?â âHow can you talk to your mother like this?â Jia Xiufang was displeased by Xiao Qianâs words.
I m telling the truth, Mrs. Jia Xiufang, you were so confident before knowing their identity. Donât you remember our conversations last night? You even said that our familyâs life is better now, and we can hold our heads high wherever we go, not allowing others to look down on us. You even said that you want me and my brother to completely leave poverty behind, with each generation better than the last. Werenât all these your words?â
Last night, when Xiao Qian chatted with her mother, Jia Xiufang had said a lot of these things.
As soon as she heard about Yu Minglangâs family background, she deflated like a ball losing air, and all the confidence she had accumulated over the days was gone.
âHow is it the same? He just said his father was a businessman, his mother was a doctor, his brother was a big boss in this city, but he didnât mention that his family was so frightening!â
Originally, her future brother-in-lawâs real brother was already very wealthy, but the rest of the family was even more terrifying.
âWhat do you care about what his family does? Just say it, is your daughter worthy of him?â
ââ¦With your cooking and burning the kitchen, Iâm not quite confident.â Jia Xiufang muttered quietly.
Well, Yu Minglang also reads comics, everyone has their shortcomings.â Xiao Qian protested unwillingly.
Seeing that her mother still hadnât gotten over it, Xiao Qian had to resort to a more aggressive move.
âAnyway, theyâve already given the betrothal gifts. According to my understanding of Ming Lang, he will start writing invitations as soon as he goes back. Considering their familyâs status, you can figure out who they will invite. If youâre not afraid of them coming to you after canceling the engagement, tell them now that you donât want to go through with it, and then his father will have to come over in person.â
Chen Zilong casually added, âStick a knife in our bicycle belts?â
â¦How did I give birth to a son like you? When you were born, I must have thrown the baby away and raised the placenta instead. This brain is so messed up.â
Chen Zilong widened his eyes, âMy sister started it!â
âSo what if she started it? Can you say the same thing as her? Your sister scored more in the college entrance exam than all your scores from elementary school to junior high combined. What are you comparing to her? Go back to your room and do your homework!â
Having gone through the shock, Jia Xiufang thought about Mother Yuâs performance today and felt a little vanity rise in her heart.
Yes, Qianâer was right. What was the big deal about a publicly traded company? His son liked her daughter, and her daughter was so outstanding. It was not strange for her to marry well.
This was the thought that Mother Yu had instilled in her during the afternoon. Thinking about this, she felt refreshed. Thatâs right, her outstanding daughter finding a good son-in-law was not strange at all!
âIâm already the young bossâs uncle, and I still have homework to do?â Chen Zilong muttered under his breath as he was scolded by his mother.
Jia Xiufang kicked him hard in the butt, âIf you donât do your homework, even if the bossâs son comes, thereâs nothing he can do. He canât really stab your homeroom teacherâs bike belt with a knife! Hurry up and do your homework! If you donât finish your homework, Iâll have the young boss puncture you like a bike belt!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Poor Father Yu and Xiao Qiang father and son, just like that, they became Jia Xiufangâs tools for scaring her childâ¦
Jia Xiufang drove Chen Zilong away to do his homework and couldnât let go of Xiao Qianâs âpre-marriage cohabitationâ behavior, so she wanted to instill in her the importance of girls tightening their belts.
Chen Xiaoqian, donât think that just because I agreed to your engagement, I wonât mind the things youâve done! When did I ever teach you that you can fool around with men? When did you two get together, and why do you take your motherâs words as a breeze passing by your ears?â
Xiao Qian rolled her eyes.
She had just dealt with a phoenix man with a purity complex during the day, and now she had to be lectured on the importance of it by her own mother at night.
