Chapter 22 Meeting the Parents
The pounding heartbeat was strong and clear. Jiang Yuzhu shook his head and cursed himself for being so unsatisfactory. He couldn't control his inner heart. He was really too tired.
The man didn't notice anything unusual about Jiang Yuzhu. He just helped her and then turned around to get a glass of warm water.
"It's not hot. You can drink it slowly and take your time."
Pei Jingchuan's beautiful knuckles looked particularly beautiful on the transparent glass, making the glass of water look much more expensive.
"Thank you."
Jiang Yuzhu took the water glass and took a few sips of water. The warm water passed through his throat, which indeed relieved his fatigue somewhat.
I just don’t know if it’s because of the people or the water.
Pei Jingchuan kept looking at Jiang Yuzhu and felt relieved when he saw that her originally pale complexion turned a little rosy.
Jiang Yuzhu just quietly stared at the man in front of him typing on the computer, blinking his eyes, feeling a little warm in his heart.
"How are you feeling?"
Pei Jingchuan suddenly turned his eyes over, and Jiang Yuzhu quickly dodged and drank water to hide his embarrassment.
Jiang Yuzhu stuttered a bit and said, "Okay...much better. Thank you for your concern."
"That's good." Pei Jingchuan suddenly seemed to remember something important, and his thick brows furrowed, "By the way, when have you had time recently?"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuzhu became a little nervous when he saw this, "Did something happen to you over there?"
Jiang Yuzhu's eyes widened, the corners of his mouth turned slightly downward, with a puzzled look, and a hint of concern in his eyes.
When Pei Jingchuan saw this, he felt very cute. He was afraid that she would worry, so he hurriedly explained: "It's not a big deal. It's just that grandma said that if she is free, the two families can get together to have a meal together, so they can get to know each other."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu opened his mouth slightly and smiled lightly, looking relieved.
"Well, I'm free on Saturday. I can just call my aunt and her family to come over then."
"Saturday at noon?"
"I have something to do at noon. Let's do it in the afternoon, okay?"
The two discussed it and set the time for Saturday afternoon.
Pei Jingchuan also called his grandma to confirm the time and confirmed that Saturday afternoon would be available. The two parties were finally finalized.
Grandma happily asked Pei Jingchuan to hand the phone to Jiang Yuzhu, saying that she wanted to chat with her grandson's wife.
The two chatted for a while.
At night, Jiang Yuzhu called her aunt and informed her of the meal time. Naturally, her aunt said it was fine.
But after hanging up the phone, my aunt was in trouble. She rummaged through the closet but couldn't find any decent clothes.
After much thought, Jiang Xianmei finally spoke to Shen Guozhong.
"Yuzhu said that the two families would have dinner this Saturday, but I searched for a long time and couldn't find any suitable clothes. I thought I might as well buy a new one? After all, I am meeting my future niece-in-law."
Jiang Xianmei's expression was cautious, but Shen Guozhong lost his temper and was a little impatient, "If there is anything good to eat, we didn't even discuss it when we got married. What's the point now?"
Being yelled at by Shen Guozhong, she was speechless for a moment. Jiang Xianmei lowered her head, "You still have to eat. After all, Yu Zhu is getting married, so I still need to meet and see what the other person's family is like, so that I can Feel at ease."
"An Xin Xin Xin. You have been helping others raise your daughter for so many years just for this peace of mind. You are really worrying about your life."
Shen Guozhong scolded Jiang Xianmei unceremoniously, but Jiang Xianmei remained silent.
After scolding like this for a long time, Shen Guozhong felt tired. His face looked a little tired and bored, "You don't need to discuss with me about buying clothes. You can just do it yourself."
After saying that, Shen Guozhong returned to the room without looking back.
Jiang Xianmei felt a little aggrieved for a moment. She bit her lower lip and stared at the retreating figure, feeling a little sour in her heart. She always felt that Shen Guozhong seemed to be more impatient with her recently, and she didn't know why.
Shaking her head and swallowing all the grievances with blood and teeth, Jiang Xianmei forced herself to suppress the bad emotions.
Early the next morning, Jiang Xianmei dragged Shen Qiang out to buy clothes.
"Mom, it's such a beautiful morning, can't you let me sleep in?"
Shen Qiang looked sleepy and complained very dissatisfiedly.
"Go to sleep tomorrow and help me pick out some clothes."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang suddenly came to her senses. She didn't expect that her always frugal mother would actually want to buy new clothes.
"What are you buying new clothes for?"
Jiang Xianmei choked up when she heard this, "It's nothing, just go with me, okay."
Shen Qiang looked at her mother suspiciously, but followed her anyway, helping to pick out a few good sets of clothes.
Jiang Xianmei was also quite satisfied. After thinking about it, she picked the cheapest set and bought it.
"Is there something going on with Jiang Yuzhu?"
"Yeah, let's have dinner with her husband and his family on Saturday."
Happy, Jiang Xianmei said smoothly.
"I knew it, otherwise you wouldn't be so interested."
Shen Qiang's guess was confirmed, and her expression suddenly became angry, "Ever since you were a child, you have always paid more attention to Jiang Yuzhu. Mom, I am your biological daughter."
"Qiang'er, Yuzhu is very pitiful without her parents. The only relatives she has are us. I should take more care of her."
Jiang Xianmei lowered her head helplessly and explained in a persuasive manner.
"Why, it's not me who caused her to lose her parents. Why did she come to my house and take away my love?"
Shen Qiang became even more angry when she heard this. She just felt that Jiang Yuzhu was pretending to be pitiful and robbed Jiang Xianmei of her love.
Seeing this, Jiang Xianmei sighed and stretched out her hand to touch Shen Qiang's back.
"Don't touch me, buy it yourself."
Shen Qiang's words were cold, her expression cold, she raised her feet and left.
Jiang Xianmei was left alone, looking a little lonely.
"Alas." Jiang Xianmei sighed helplessly, and could only pick up her clothes by herself.
I thought about buying a set for the father and daughter, so I picked and selected until dark before finally buying something I was satisfied with.
Who would have thought that as soon as this was paid, the ringtone would start ringing crazily.
"Are you crazy? It costs four thousand yuan. Are the clothes you bought made of gold? Why are they so expensive?"
Shen Guozhong's furious roar came from the other end of the phone, and he was obviously very angry.
Seeing that her husband was so angry, Jiang Xianmei had to soften her tone and explained in a low voice that she bought one for each of the three members of the family, that's why it was so expensive.
However, Shen Guozhong was originally dissatisfied with spending money on new clothes, and he was even more angry after spending so much. He scolded Jiang Xianmei until she was completely bruised.
Shen Guozhong scolded her no matter how unpleasant it was, but Jiang Xianmei did not dare to refute, she just listened silently and suffered from her husband's anger.
"Okay, I'm busy, so I won't talk anymore."
