This was not the first time Jiang Xiaobai had met Xiao Su’s parents. This was because she was used to exchanging messages with Xiao Su’s mother. Besides, his mother also treated her very well, and Jiang Xiaobai was very familiar with them.
Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai was not nervous at all about this meeting.
Everyone attending this meeting was people she knew well.
However, that was not the case with Xiao Su. He didn’t face Xiaobai’s mother every day like how Jiang Xiaobai did with his mother. He had only met Jiang Xiaobai’s parents a few times before this. Although his appearance was always calm, he was actually a little nervous and embarrassed.
Both parents-in-law were having a great chat inside the VIP private room of the hotel restaurant.
Du Xiaoyu and Liang Yahe were very similar in character. Both of them were talkative. Moreover, both women loved to dress up. As both of them were generous in spending, as soon as they met, they brought gifts for each other.
Du Xiaoyu took out the bracelet which she had kept for many years while Liang Yahe also took out his ancestral jade pendant. Both of them were jade lovers. As soon as they saw each others’ gift, they immediately knew the sincerity of the other side. Therefore, they hit it off right off the bat.
Both of them soon started chatting happily, leaving the two old men who were looking at each other embarrassedly.
Xiao Su’s father, Xiao Mingzhi, touched his stubble. He then looked up at Jiang Yanke beside him. “Come. Let’s have a drink.”
Xiao Mingzhi was an old drunkard that loved to drink. Usually, as Xiao Su’s father, he should take the initiative to start a conversation with the in-law first. However, Xiao Mingzhi was a man of few words. Therefore, he could only ask the other party to drink.
Normally, Jiang Yanke would not have any drinks because his wife didn’t like it. However, that day was a special day, so he didn’t refuse. They soon had a toast.
Once men had had a drink with one another, they quickly familiarized with each other. Therefore, both of them had also started chatting after a few drinks.
As for the two mothers here, they had already started talking about marriage.
“My son was very boring. He never had a girlfriend before so he didn’t know how to treat a girl nicely. Therefore, please forgive him if he makes any mistake. I will educate him in the future!”
Du Xiaoyu waved her hand. She had an even disgusted expression on her face. “Isn’t that a good thing? This means that he focused so much on his career that he had no time to get a girlfriend. Xiaobai has a lot of shortcomings too. She only knows how to stay in front of the computer and doesn’t know how to go out and have fun or to meet some new friends. Besides, she’s super lazy, so I wonder how she can get herself a boyfriend.”
“I think Xiaobai is really good. She’s pretty and obedient. If our family could have someone like her in our family, it will be a great blessing!”
Du Xiaoyu was observing Liang Yahe when she was saying this. She realized that Liang Yahe did genuinely like Xiaobai very much. Both Liang Yahe and Xiaobai looked very close to each other.
“Mrs. Jiang, may I know your secret?”
“Secret?”
“I think you’re really good at maintaining yourself. You don’t have any wrinkles on your face! I can’t believe that you are actually Xiaobai’s mother! I won’t doubt a thing if you told me that you’re her sister!”
“That’s too much of a compliment!” Du Xiaoyu was so happy that when she laughed, the wrinkles at her eyes all burst out. “You are the one who looks younger. The teenagers nowadays do not have skin that’s as smooth and tender as yours!”
Liang Yahe was also very happy to hear this compliment.
When the two men heard this, they could not help but look at how the two women who had wrinkles in their eyes were praising each other.
What else can we say? They are our wives.
Laughing, Liang Yahe said, “Mrs. Jiang, since we’ve met with each other today, I would like to ask directly. When do you think Xiaobai and Xiao Su should have their wedding?”
At first, Du Xiaoyu thought that Liang Yahe was being friendly when she addressed her as co-mother-in-law. She never expected that Liang Yahe was serious. Du Xiaoyu was taken aback by her question. “Wedding? I thought that young people nowadays seem to advocate late marriage. Will both of them agree to it? Isn’t it a bit too fast?”
Liang Yahe smiled kindly. “It’s not that fast. After discussing the wedding details now, we still have to look for the perfect date. Moreover, it’s better that they could get married as soon as possible. Otherwise, Xiaobai might be pregnant by then.”
Hearing this, Du Xiaoyu was stunned. “P-P-Pregnant?”
She didn’t understand what was going on. How could her daughter suddenly get pregnant?
Didn’t tell me that they had already gone to bed together?
Thinking of this, Du Xiaoyu’s expression changed drastically. She suddenly stood up.
Her action startled the people around her. Everyone immediately looked at her. Liang Yahe was looking at her curiously, “What’s the matter?”
Du Xiaoyu suddenly realised that her actions were impolite. Therefore, she tried to calm herself down. With a fake smile on her face, she then sat down again.
“It’s OK. It just occurred to me that I might have forgotten to turn off the gas in my house. But when I think about it carefully, I remember that I had checked on it before I came out. So I think it’s already turned off.”
Hearing this, Liang Yahe immediately replied with a serious tone, “The gas is not a small matter. You should be more careful next time. Gas explosions are very dangerous.”
“Thank you for your concern. I will be careful.”
Du Xiaoyu forced a fake smile while she was thinking to herself. This Xiaobai! I thought they were just pretending to be a couple? Had they crossed the line? Or is it because that they’ve had sex with each other that they decided to fake their relationship?
I have to interrogate her for the details later!
Although she did hope that her daughter would get married soon, she didn’t want her to get married so foolishly. If she was to get married, it must be because of love! Or else, she might as well stay single forever!
On another hand, Liang Yahe didn’t know what Du Xiaoyu was thinking. She was very satisfied with her future daughter-in-law and her parents. She thought that it was Xiao Su’s blessing to be able to marry Xiaobai.
Soon, Xiao Su and Xiaobai arrived.
When both of them entered, everyone’s attention immediately focused on Jiang Xiaobai.
As for Xiao Su, he was being ignored by them.
“Oh, Xiaobai is here.” When Liang Yahe saw Xiaobai, she immediately got up and took her hand with great enthusiasm. “Come and sit here between your mother and me.”
Du Xiaoyu also got up. She also wanted to call Xiaobai over, but Liang Yahe had already pulled Xiaobai toward her. So, she stopped to look at Xiao Su.
Compared to the last time she had seen him at the house, his face was still the same. He still had the same scar on his face.
“Hi, Madam Jiang,” Xiao Su nodded and greeted Du Xiaoyu before he turned to Jiang Yanke. “Hi, Mr. Jiang.”
After greeting Jiang Xiaobai’s parents, Xiao Su turned to greet his own parents. “Dad, mom.”
“Have a seat.”
Liang Yahe was completely indifferent toward Xiao Su. However, the way she treated Xiaobai was like she was someone precious to her.
“Come and look at the menu, Xiaobai. What do you want to eat? Do tell me what you don’t eat as well. I will ask the waiter not to put it in the dishes.”
