Chapter 888: Chapter 888: The Son Really Knows How to Pass the Buck
On the other side, Ye Junqing and Ye Xingguang had finished their Western al and went for a stroll, not returning ho until evening was upon them.
As the car pulled into the yard, Ye Xingguang, sitting in the passenger seat, looked through the living room’s French window and saw her mother-in-law and mother taking care of Tang Xiao’s son.
Ye Xingguang was a bit hesitant to get out of the car, “When we get out later, is Mom going to scold you? You destroyed her rose garden; if she settles scores after the fall harvest, don’t expect to be involved. I’m innocent.”
Ye Junqing pulled the handbrake and dropped a line, “Husbands and wives are birds of the sa forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly separately. This saying really is true.”
Ye Xingguang couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, “Alright then, I’ll join you in facing the music.”
After the two of them got out of the car, Ye Xingguang opened the back door and carried out all the shopping bags. This ti, she hadn’t bought anything for herself; she was entirely focused on gifts for the elders—father, mother, father-in-law, mother-in-law; she hadn’t missed anyone.
“Let take those,” Ye Junqing said as he took the bags from her hands and then wrapped his arm around her waist to enter the house.
Inside the living room, Bai Lanwu and Bai Peiluan were busy feeding the baby milk while Song Chuanqi and Ye Baixiu were practicing calligraphy together, each absorbed in their own activity, but clearly getting along splendidly.
“Dad, Mom, we’re back, Junqing and I spent the afternoon shopping and bought you so gifts,” Ye Xingguang announced with boundless enthusiasm, delivering each present to every elder personally.
Particularly when handing a gift to her mother-in-law, she took special care to say, “Mom, Junqing and I spent a long ti choosing and finally settled on this bag for you. See if you like it, it’s the latest release for the winter season, and it’s been the hottest selling item this year.”
There wasn’t a problem that a bag couldn’t solve.
Therefore, Ye Xingguang encouraged Ye Junqing to buy a bag for his mother-in-law. This bag was especially suitable for soone her age and really accentuated her poise.
She didn’t forget to make an apology, “Mom, don’t be angry anymore, Junqing knows he was wrong.”
“Humph!” Bai Peiluan showed nothing but a face full of affection for her daughter-in-law, but when confronted with her spendthrift son, she didn’t show the slightest bit of kindness, “Are you supposed to be angry? You want to woo your wife, don’t you know to go buy flowers from an outside florist? Using the flowers I ticulously cultivated to woo your wife, you penny pincher, just like your father!”
Ye Junqing rely smiled without saying a word.
Ye Baixiu couldn’t stand it anymore, “Wife, when have I ever been stingy with you?”
Bai Peiluan replied, “Aren’t you stingy? When have you ever given flowers that weren’t stolen from my own garden? Like father, like son, I tell you, Junqing has been led astray by you. If any of you dare touch my flowers in the future, I will chop hands without negotiation!”
She was livid!
Ye Junqing still had his excuses, “So, you can’t bla , I saw Dad pick them all the ti, and I thought it was okay to do so. Last night, to take care of Tang Xiao’s little treasure, I simply couldn’t leave to buy flowers at a florist. I think the flowers you planted in the rose garden are even better than those outside. Today is the day Xingguang and I are getting our marriage certificate; I just wanted to give her the best.”
You little rascal, how dare you speak like that?” Ye Baixiu was itching to enforce so family discipline; his son really knew how to pass the buck.
However, Ye Junqing’s words had pacified Bai Peiluan, “Is there anything wrong with what he said? My flowers—are they worse than those outside? My flowers, they are the best, so the best should go to my precious daughter-in-law!”
Ye Baixiu was speechless… So, after all that, was he the only one in the wrong?
Bai Peiluan tugged at Ye Xingguang, “Hurry and show and your mother your marriage certificate.”
