Chapter 507: Chapter 343 Are You the Troublemaker_3
Shen Xuan always felt sothing was off.
“Mom and Dad wouldn’t refuse to et her. If she agrees to et, just tell them that your third sister-in-law wants to et them. Would they have a reason to refuse? You’re such a bookworm!”
“Um…”
Shen Xuan stood still for a few seconds before realizing that her brother was first going to bait the third sister-in-law, and then use that bait to coax Mom and Dad.
“Bro, you’re sly!”
Shen Xuan couldn’t help but express her admiration; no wonder so many girls liked her older brother, his tactics were too cunning.
“That’s not the point, the point is to show that I want to introduce her to our parents, got it?”
“Got it, got it! Big bro is aweso!”
“Alright, cut the chit-chat. I’ll notify you when it’s ti to take action.”
“Roger that!”
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuan’s worries were sowhat alleviated.
He already had a general plan, but it required Shen Xuan and Old Shen and Ms. Li to participate.
Firstly, to blur the relationship with Teacher Lih regarding the class belle—while an acknowledgnt was necessary, it wasn’t about admitting a romantic relationship, but sothing ambiguous or more than just classmates.
Next, to focus on the current developnts with Teacher Lih, with Shen Xuan intervening, representing his sincerity. If you won’t et , then I will send my own sister over, showing that he deeply cared about their relationship.
Then ca the proposal to et the parents. For a girl, it’s significantly aningful when her partner is willing to introduce her to his parents, indirectly showing Shen Yuan’s determination to continue their relationship.
Lastly, it was ti to “bait” by suggesting things like inviting Old Lih and his spouse for the New Year celebrations for a joyful family reunion, or considering a more relaxed job for Teacher Lih.
They could even discuss potential future scenarios like having children, whether to move into a bigger flat, and which elentary school to enroll them in…
After all, won always yearned for a beautiful life, and Shen Yuan couldn’t believe that Teacher Lih wouldn’t forgive him after such a combination of moves?
Shen Yuan made another call to Ms. Li, explaining his plans to bring ho the third daughter-in-law. After hearing this, Ms. Li exploded:
“Are you trying to kill ? Why are you ssing around with so many girls! Aren’t you content with Nana and Minhui?…”
Shen Yuan set the phone aside. After about 2 minutes, he picked it up again and said, “Mom, she’s my advisor, and used to live upstairs. You might have seen her before.”
“She’s from a top university, looks good, has a gentle and kind personality, and…”
Mid-sentence, the other end went quiet, prompting Shen Yuan to ask, “Mom, are you listening?”
After a long pause, a faint voice finally ca through: “When are we eting?”
Shen Yuan’s lips twitched as he replied, “I’ll notify you later. I just wanted you to know about this and be prepared.”
After hanging up, Shen Yuan shook his head and chuckled wryly; Ms. Li was quite a character, clearly the type of mother-in-law who is never satisfied.
…
On the other side.
Li Hongjuan’s feelings were sowhat mixed. Having already two daughters-in-law, and now there was another on the horizon, she felt a sense of guilt towards Nana and Minhui.
“Nana, Minhui, don’t bla , it’s all that worthless kid’s doing!”
Li Hongjuan tried to alleviate her guilt this way, but thinking that the new daughter-in-law was a beautiful and kindhearted teacher, she felt unexpectedly eager.
Even though Nana was already expecting a grandchild, who would complain about having too many grandchildren, especially when they could afford them?
If all three daughters-in-law had children and brought them ho for the New Year’s celebration, the joy of a house full of grandchildren would be too satisfying.
Li Hongjuan imagined this scene and couldn’t help but smile warmly.
“Cough cough!”
Shen Heping coughed, “What’s so funny that’s got you laughing?”
The wrinkles at the corners of Li Hongjuan’s eyes deepened as she relayed the phone conversation with Shen Yuan to Old Shen.
“Yuan told you this voluntarily?”
“Mm, what about it?”
“Nothing.”
Shen Heping had a slight sense about sothing being off. The previous situations with Chen Na and Fang Minhui resulted from accidents, like a pregnancy and a chance eting at the airport, but this ti their son had taken the initiative.
Since when had their son beco so forthright?
Was he planning to use them as tools now?
“Ah, to be used as tools then, so be it. Now that we’re old, we can only clean up after our son.”
Shen Heping thought to himself. Seeing Li Hongjuan’s expression, he found it funny; she often scolded Yuan verbally, but now that she knew about another daughter-in-law, she was happier than anyone.
