At the Qiao Family's ho, three won were happily chatting on the couch.
Until Lu Xiuxiu glanced at the ti, which was almost noon, and went directly into the kitchen to get busy.
Just as Su Mucheng was about to follow, Ms. Su called out, "Wait, Chengzi, help roll up my sleeves, and let's go help together."
While speaking, she even winked at Su Mucheng.
"My dear in-laws, there's no need to be so polite. I can get things done quickly on my own... no need..."
"It's fine, I love cooking for Chengzi at ho the most."
Ms. Su said sweetly to Lu Xiuxiu, then chose not to fuss over Su Mucheng's sowhat disrespectful gaze and whispered, "Your dad asked you to invite Qiao Ze to our house for dinner tonight, he'll be cooking himself."
Su Mucheng blinked and nodded, then, without avoiding her mother, swiftly took out her phone, opened Li Jiangao's WeChat, and began to send a ssage: "Happy Li Uncle on the third day of the new year, by the way, my dad found out about and Qiao Ze, and he wants to invite Qiao Ze to our house for dinner tonight."
She included a "pitiful" emoji along with the text.
A mont later, Li Jiangao responded, "Got it, don't worry, it's nothing. Just let Qiao Ze know."
Then, uncharacteristically, he sent back a composed emoji.
Ms. Su leaned over to peek at the WeChat conversation, then raised her hand to pat her daughter's head. She then rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen enthusiastically, "In-law, I'm here, is there anything you need help with?"
But she was pushed back out by Lu Xiuxiu, reluctantly returned to the living room, and comfortably settled back on the couch, instructing her daughter, "Hey, you go help out then. You know what my cooking skills are like, let's not embarrass us."
From this, it could be seen that Su Mucheng's cleverness and agility was likely inherited from her mother. Although she was soone who never dipped her fingers in spring water and knew next to nothing about kitchen work, she was truly enthusiastic and proactive.
...
Li Jiangao, who was currently on a date with Mi Ge, glanced at his partner across the table and reluctantly opened Xu Dajiang's WeChat with a touch of humiliation.
How should one put it...
Being bested in academic research was one thing, but being suddenly shown a face full of lovey-dovey over the holiday was another.
A man who had been single from birth for over 30 years, whose relationship with his lover had only just progressed to hand-holding and hugging.
A 19-year-old student was already figuring out how to handle scrutiny from his future father-in-law.
Perhaps they could even discuss marriage tonight, and what was most infuriating was that he had to pay ticulous attention to the whole matter.
It seed that in life, so people existed solely to undermine others.
Fortunately, although he wasn't great at handling these situations, soone else cared even more. Hence, Li Jiangao decided to simply take a screenshot of the WeChat conversation and send it to Xu Dajiang.
Xu Dajiang, after all, was the one with real experience. It was better to leave it to the professionals.
As for him, Li Jiangao, he was still a 34-year-old virgin, though he had already t his potential future father-in-law. But as of now, it seed they hadn't reached the stage of discussing such matters.
"Got sothing else to take care of?" Mi Ge asked as they waited in the restaurant for their al.
"No," Li Jiangao shook his head and said, "It's about Su, you know, Qiao Ze's girlfriend, saying her dad wants to invite Qiao Ze for dinner tonight."
"Huh? Are they inviting you too?"
Li Jiangao smiled and said, "Her dad certainly wouldn't want to invite , but Su might hope I could co along."
Seeing Mi Ge's puzzled expression, Li Jiangao explained, "The relationship between the two kids... um, you know, is very close, already beyond that of ordinary boyfriends and girlfriends. Today Su's dad noticed it."
Mi Ge's face turned red, and then he chuckled inexplicably, saying, "Then you should go, it's a good chance to learn how your student deals with his father-in-law."
That made Li Jiangao think of the ti when Su Lixing first ca to Xilin to invite him and Qiao Ze for a al.
Throughout the al, just watching Su Mucheng look after Qiao Ze was enough, as Qiao Ze hardly spoke a word to his future father-in-law.
Seed like he only called him "uncle" when leaving?
Such openness was truly exemplary! Thinking about it, there were too many ways in which he fell short compared to Qiao Ze.
Involuntarily, he uttered a sigh, "That... is definitely not sothing I can learn. How about, you co with to visit tonight?"
"Um... would it be appropriate for to go?"
"It's just a festive gathering. What's the inconvenience? Besides, in the future, you're going to be those kids' teacher's wife. Then you can also see if I should learn from that kid Qiao Ze," Li Jiangao said with a laugh.
"Ah?"
"But you should prepare yourself. Qiao Ze's deanor is cool, his lack of warmth doesn't an disrespect or dissatisfaction with you... How do I put it, his everyday interactions are the sa with everyone."
"Don't worry, I get it!"
...
At noon, Su Mucheng brought a thermos of food to Qiao Ze.
"Qiao Ze, co to my house for dinner tonight. My dad said he would cook himself."
"Okay."
"Um... well, ntally prepare yourself, okay? My dad knows about us... that thing."
"Oh." Qiao Ze glanced at Su Mucheng and nodded calmly, saying, "No problem."
"I know! What could go wrong, right? Just in case that unreliable old man gets mad, you have to coddle him a bit! After all, ninety percent of the shares in Xilin Licheng are ours. If it cos down to it, we're his bosses, and we're not afraid of him! And we're bound to have support for doing the right thing!"
