Chapter 168: Chapter 167: The Son Has Made It
Ever since he had a harem, Shen Yuan was also spoiled rotten.
For instance, at Songhu Tiandi, clothes would be fetched when extended a hand and als served when one’s mouth opened, with Chen Na always preparing everything ticulously.
The mont he stepped inside, she would hand him slippers, serve rice during als, and even prepare Shen Yuan’s clothes for the following day each night.
Liew nglu was no different.
So much so that Shen Yuan now preferred to be attended to by them even when taking a bath.
Of course, they also enjoyed it, especially the daring ones like Liew nglu and Fang Minhui, who always liked playing with the fire extinguisher during the process.
This ti was no exception, with Liew nglu playing with the fire extinguisher and accidentally lighting a fire, which forced Shen Yuan to set her a few ‘small goals’ in the bath.
What would have taken ten minutes ended up taking forty because of Liew nglu’s fire-playing.
It was nearly 11 o’clock, and Shen Yuan still had to pick up Chen Na, with no ti to ‘fire another shot’, so he had to leave the suite amidst her reluctant protests.
After reaching Songhu Tiandi, Shen Yuan helped Chen Na put her shopping in the back seat and then assisted her into the passenger seat.
“Looks like you bought a lot.”
Shen Yuan said as he got into the driver’s seat and glanced back.
“Not really that much.”
Chen Na counted on her fingers, “I bought gold jewelry and handbags for Auntie, leather shoes, a wallet, and a belt for Uncle, and also clothes and handbags for Xuanxuan.”
“That’s not much?”
“What else did you buy for Shen Xuan? Last ti you already bought so much for her.”
Shen Yuan thought about the 5 million pocket money he had given her, which she had spent on herself, her parents, and Shen Xuan.
“That’s different. Last ti was a eting gift, this ti is a house-visiting gift.”
“There’s no need for such formalities.”
Shen Yuan started the car and drove towards ho.
As he drove, Chen Na in the passenger seat was silent and a bit uneasy, nervously fiddling with her fingers. Seeing her nervous, Shen Yuan comforted her,
“Don’t worry, my parents are both very easy-going. Shen Xuan also spoke highly of you during the trip, they will like you.”
Hearing Shen Yuan say this, Chen Na relaxed a bit, “Mhm.”
Thirty minutes later, the two of them took the elevator upstairs and rang the doorbell. Shen Xuan quickly ran out to greet them, “Sister-in-law is here~”
Shen Xuan took the shopping bags from Chen Na’s hands and said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, if you’re coming, then co, why buy so much?”
She then set the shopping bags aside and offered Chen Na a pair of new slippers.
“Nana, you’re here.”
Li Hongjuan and Shen Heping heard the commotion and ca out of the kitchen to warmly greet her.
Seeing Chen Na, Li Hongjuan’s eyes slightly widened.
This girl was very pretty indeed, Shen Xuan hadn’t lied, she truly fitted the category of a great beauty.
In Southern Province, her height was also among the taller group, a bit taller than the 167 cm Shen Xuan, at least 172 cm, right?
The son is lucky to have found such a beautiful partner.
Shen Heping, however, had a warm smile and his expression showed little change.
Chen Na smiled shyly, “Hello, Uncle and Auntie.”
“No need to be polite, co in and sit.”
Li Hongjuan beckoned and upon seeing the shopping bags, also sighed, “Why did you bring so much?”
“It’s my first visit, I prepared so gifts for Uncle and Auntie.”
Chen Na handed Li Hongjuan a Lao Feng Xiang shopping bag, “Shen Yuan said you like gold jewelry, so I went to buy so yesterday.”
“Just listen to Shen Yuan’s nonsense, what does he know.”
Li Hongjuan pretended to scold Shen Yuan in dissatisfaction, but she was indeed pleased, and she started to take a liking to her daughter-in-law, then led Chen Na inside the house.
Shen Yuan smiled and scratched his head, thinking to himself that his mother really was sothing, liking sothing and yet being too embarrassed to admit it.
At the ti of their family’s bankruptcy, Li Hongjuan was so attached to her gold jewelry that she was reluctant to sell them just to settle debts.
Li Hongjuan, holding Chen Na’s hand, ca into the living room and pointed at a fruit plate on the coffee table, “Are you hungry? Have so fruit first, dinner will be ready in a while.”
“Mm, thank you, Auntie.”
“Nana, I heard from Shen Yuan that you have a younger sister, right?”
Li Hongjuan started chatting with Chen Na.
Chen Na nodded, “Yes, my sister just graduated from high school and is preparing to go to university in Star City. She’s living with right now.”
Upon hearing the words “younger sister,” Shen Heping gave Shen Yuan a aningful look and then silently walked back into the kitchen.
Old Shen knew his son was a bit of a playboy, but he wasn’t sure to what extent and it wasn’t sothing he could easily inquire about. As long as his son didn’t make a mistake, it would be fine.
Shen Yuan didn’t notice the look and was busy munching on a kiwifruit.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were engaged in a question-and-answer exchange; Li Hongjuan asked, and Chen Na answered.
Gradually, Chen Na began to relax. After all, she had experience in sales and could hold a conversation well.
Bored, Shen Yuan kicked Shen Xuan on the foot, “When are you filling in university preferences?”
Shen Xuan glared at him unhappily before replying, “The application doesn’t start until the 29th.”
“Which university are you planning to apply to? What major?”
Shen Yuan inquired.
“I’m still thinking about it. Dad suggested I apply to Nanzhong University, and my first preference should be clinical dicine.”
“Clinical dicine?”
Shen Yuan thought for a mont and said, “Nanzhong University’s clinical dicine course has a high admission score. You need to see if your score is high enough.”
“But I don’t want to study dicine~”
Shen Xuan sighed helplessly, “I just want to lie flat and not do anything. Is there such a major that can make big money without having to work?”
“What are you dreaming about!”
Shen Yuan retorted, “How can I have such an unambitious sister like you.”
Shen Xuan stuck out her tongue, “What now, I worked hard before the college entrance exam.”
“It’s just that now I see you, a second-tier university graduate, making so much money, and I feel like studying hard isn’t that useful.”
Before Shen Yuan could retort, Li Hongjuan couldn’t stand it anymore, “Younger Sister Xuan, don’t always think about depending on your brother, you should have your own career too.”
With her little sche poked through, Shen Xuan pouted and didn’t speak, thinking to herself, what’s wrong with depending on my brother? When one person achieves enlightennt, the whole family ascends to heaven, that’s how it should be.
Besides, my brother isn’t stopping from doing so.
After reprimanding Shen Xuan, Li Hongjuan amiably started chatting with Chen Na.
Upon closer contact, she noticed Chen Na really had beautiful skin and spoke eloquently and gracefully.
Additionally, she was generous towards her and Old Shen. Just now, she had asked and found out that the gifts purchased today cost over 200,000.
Not to ntion the last ti she also bought a lot of things for Shen Xuan.
Even if it was her son’s money, it showed that Nana was very willing to spend it on treating her and Old Shen well.
Money is a trivial matter, what’s important is that such an attitude is very comforting.
As it stands, a girl like this could manage the household and raise children, and she would also make a good impression outside.
Thinking this, Li Hongjuan looked at Chen Na with increasing satisfaction.
After they had chatted enough, Li Hongjuan went to the kitchen to work, standing up to excuse herself before entering.
Old Shen was thodically chopping vegetables.
Ever since relying on his son, his status at ho had drastically declined, not only having to do housework but also occasionally getting nagged by Li Hongjuan.
However, he was in a good mood and didn’t see it as a problem.
As Li Hongjuan started cooking, she said to Shen Heping, “Old Shen, your son has good taste. I think Nana is pretty good, good-looking and articulate too.”
Shen Heping grinned, “After all, she must be benefiting from the genes of the Shen family, the ability to choose a partner naturally inherited from .”
Li Hongjuan paused for a mont before realizing that Shen Heping was not only praising himself but also flattering her.
“Don’t give that!”
Li Hongjuan gave him a white glance, but she felt pleased inside.
Shen Heping still had a smile on his face, he had now mastered the art of surviving at ho.
Anyway, keeping his wife happy was all that matter.
But speaking of that, when he was wooing Li Hongjuan, he was just a penniless young guy, and he had managed to pursue her, a woman from a decent family background that was also beautiful in her youth. He must have had so skills.
After a while, Li Hongjuan voiced her worries, “Old Shen, I’m just concerned that if they don’t get married, it might affect them later on.”
“What’s there to worry about.”
Shen Heping said at his own pace, “This situation is indeed very common now, and it doesn’t affect having children anyway.”
Shen Heping knew why Shen Yuan didn’t want to get married. The kid had obviously not had enough fun yet.
However, bringing his girlfriend ho so early wasn’t his style, so there must be sothing else going on.
As expected, during the family al, Shen Yuan announced a bombshell, “Dad, Mom, Nana is pregnant.”
“Pregnant?!”
Li Hongjuan almost couldn’t hold her chopsticks steady in surprise as she looked at Chen Na, “Nana, how long has it been? Why only tell us now?”
“Auntie, I’m sorry for only telling you now.”
Chen Na’s cheeks flushed red, “Almost a month.”
“You guys, Shen Yuan, why didn’t you tell us about sothing like this earlier.”
Li Hongjuan scolded Shen Yuan and then showed concern for Chen Na, “Nana, the dishes today are all a bit spicy. Does it suit your taste? When you’re pregnant, you shouldn’t eat too strong flavors.”
Chen Na pursed her lips, “I quite like it because I usually love eating spicy food.”
“Well, if you like it, eat more. Co to our house often from now on; I will cook for you.”
Li Hongjuan thought to herself, no wonder Shen Yuan brought Chen Na ho, so she was pregnant.
That’s my boy, making progress!
Li Hongjuan felt even happier. Her daughter-in-law being pregnant ant she could look forward to taking care of a grandson or granddaughter.
“Nana, eat more, you need to get more nutrition.”
Li Hongjuan served Chen Na a piece of pork knuckle.
“Thank you, Auntie.”
“What Auntie? Call Mom from now on.”
“Um… Thank you, Mom.”
Chen Na said softly.
Shen Heping glanced at Shen Yuan, thinking as expected, otherwise, this kid definitely wouldn’t have brought her ho so soon.
Then Old Shen looked at Li Hongjuan and thought this was only the first daughter-in-law; hopefully, she would maintain this sincere affection when eting the second and third daughters-in-law in the future.
Shen Yuan nodded with satisfaction as he watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along harmoniously.
At that mont, he also noticed the Feel-good Index above Chen Na’s head twitching.
[Feel-good Index: 98]
This was an unexpected gain, Shen Yuan hadn’t even considered this before bringing Chen Na here.
