“If you don’t like any of these, you can just choose whichever house Susu likes,” Mo Jin mulled over it. Worried that this might breed dissatisfaction, she added, “Of course, we will provide the car as well. However, I don’t know what kind of car Susu likes. Just let her choose as long as the price does not exceed 100 million.”
“…”
Jiang Peiying was at a loss for words. She had never seen a car worth 100 million yuan. However, her family was not lacking in money either. The monetary sum being discussed were mere numbers to her.
“I think… for young people like them, an apartment that fits three people is big enough. As for the car, it’s fine as long as it’s a comfortable ride. There’s no need for it to be too big. Anyway, I only have one daughter. We’ve been rich since she was young,” Jiang Peiying calmed down and explained gently, “I only have one request. I hope that she can live happily in the future and not be bullied.”
“Of course not,” Mo Jin shook her head. “I’ll treat Yan Su like my own daughter. Besides, I’ve been someone else’s daughter-in-law before, and my mother-in-law used to make things difficult for me. I can understand that feeling, so I won’t force her to do anything. I won’t dictate that she has to give birth to a few children, carry on the family line with a son, or serve her husband and children at home. I did not achieve any of these things myself. I’m not an old-fashioned person. To be honest, I don’t really have many expectations of Liuxi. In the past, I thought that even if he brought a man to me, I would be able to accept it. After all, his personality is so unlikeable to girls.”
“Don’t say that, Liuxi is a good child,” Jiang Peiying was full of praises. “He has good culinary skills, and he is especially sensible, considerate, filial, and capable. In my opinion, my daughter is not worthy of him.”
Mo Jin was stunned. Was Jiang Peiying sure that she was talking about her biological son?
Next, the two mothers took turns to complain about their children. In the end, the two of them silently concluded that their children were really not that great. Perhaps this was the so-called saying that no matter how bad the pot was, there would still be a cover for it.
With this realization, they chatted happily. Jiang Peiying admired Mo Jin’s cheerfulness, while Mo Jin admired Jiang Peiying’s open-mindedness.
Mo Jin stayed there until 11P.M. Yan Yan woke up a few times in that period to go to the toilet. During that time, she hugged her granddaughter affectionately.
When it grew late, Mo Liuxi walked Mo Jin downstairs with his hands in his pockets. “Do my father and sister know about this?”
“I’m not sure yet. but your brother-in-law should be aware.” Mo Jin was amused at the thought of her stupid husband and daughter. “Let’s not talk about it for now. Let’s just give them a surprise and let them pay for their stupidity.”
Mo Liuxi glanced at her. “Whatever. Don’t call Susu so frequently. She’s going to perform soon. Don’t distract her.”
Mo Jin chuckled, “You really stop caring about your mother once you fall in love.”
“When have I ever cared about you?” Mo Liuxi retorted calmly.
Mo Jin: “…”
What a prick.
“Drive slowly on your way back. Give me a call when you get home,” Mo Liuxi instructed her in a low voice.
Mo Jin felt a little better after hearing this and replied, “Arrange for a meeting between the two families as soon as possible so you can get married this year. Susu is so popular. I’m really worried that she’ll change her mind in the future and not want you anymore.”
She then left, ignoring Mo Liuxi’s ugly expression.
…
Mo Liuxi returned upstairs. Jiang Peiying had just hung up the phone when she said to him, “Susu’s father and I just spoke. He’s coming over at the beginning of the month. The two families will have dinner together. You two will get engaged in the summer and married in the winter.”
