Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

How a couple raised their children into adults was a good gauge to predict how easy it would be to get along with them.

She had only one daughter. No matter how outstanding Mo Liuxi was, if his parents were not easy to get along with, she would never allow her daughter to marry into their family and suffer.

Yan Su sighed helplessly. Just revealing the fact that she had a child was enough to shock her. If she now said that the father was her younger brother, there was no way Luosang was going to be able to drive properly. “It really isn’t him. Regarding my child, can you let me finish the concert before telling you all about it? I’ll let you meet the child’s father then, too.”

“The child’s father?” Luosang’s eyes almost dropped out of their sockets. “Yan Su, when did you even get yourself a boyfriend? How did I not know about it? Are we even friends? You’d better not tell me that you’re already married now!”

“Well, that… you don’t have to worry about…” Yan Su was feeling slightly apologetic towards her.

“Your child’s already so big, and you still haven’t gotten round to getting a marriage certificate?” Luosang grew increasingly worried the more she listened. “Just which bastard was it who got you pregnant before marriage? Auntie, have you met him before?”

“I’ve met him before. I just haven’t met his parents. I came this time so that the parents from both sides could meet each other,” Jiang Peiying said with a wide smile.

“That’s more like it!” Luosang nodded her head. “I am most disgusted by irresponsible men. But you have to be careful, Auntie. Yan Su is too naïve and gullible when it comes to relationships.”

However, she had a bad impression of Yan Su’s boyfriend. The child was already over a year old, and they had not gotten married yet.

If she had known about this from the start, she would have tried her best to stop it. There were too many scumbags on the streets these days. It was common for a man to get a woman pregnant and promise to marry her after she had borne his child, only to keep delaying the marriage after that and eventually ending up with another woman altogether.

She could not believe that Yan Su had made such a basic mistake.

Judging from Yan Su’s actions, however, she seemed to like the guy very much. As a result, she did not say much about him.

However, she already equated that man to Shi Xiang deep down in her heart. After all, Shi Xiang was the most objectionable man Yan Su had ever dated.

She genuinely disliked Shi Xiang; just the look on his face was enough to make her mad. However, for Susu’s sake, she had kept her opinions to herself.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be very careful.” Jiang Peiying glanced at Su Yan with a humorless smile.

Yan Su felt ill at ease and quickly changed the topic. “Sangsang, what will we be eating? Don’t go too far. Let’s just eat somewhere nearby. We still have to sit for our exams later.”

“It’s your mom’s first time there. Of course we’ll have to take her somewhere nice where the food is good!” Luosang said firmly.

She considered the fact that Jiang Peiying was from Jiangxi, and to cater to her taste buds, she chose a restaurant that specialized in Hunan cuisine. The quality of the food at both restaurants was comparable.

At the dining table, Jiang Peiying was very satisfied with the food. After all, Xia City was known for its pungent and spicy foods. “Luosang, you’re so well-mannered and mature. Your parents must have brought you up very well!”

Halfway through the meal, Jiang Peiying began her investigations.

Yan Su’s chopstick quivered in her hand, while Luosang ladled some soup into Yan Yan’s bowl, unaware of what was going on. “Auntie, that’s not true. I’m not as mature as you think I am. I just got a little better after getting married. I guess everyone has a transition period.”

“Fair enough.” Jiang Peiying was not too satisfied with this answer; this was not what she wanted to hear. “But I’m sure your parents must have had something to do with it. Susu told me that your results since middle school were always very good. Even in university, you were still at the top of your class. I, on the other hand, was a failure. I wanted Susu to take over our family business, but she ran off instead…”
