"What my uncle said is that with Xiran's intelligence, he must be better than me in scientific research. I have only made meager achievements because I have only studied one subject over the years, but Xiran is all-round, and I am not as good as her." Chu Shang said.
He took what Cheng's father said without changing his mind, and his filter was thicker than his own father's.
Ye Jingmei giggled: "Xi Ran is not as good as you said. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you don't dislike her, I will become Amitabha."
"Dislike? Let me see who dares to disdain my daughter. If anyone can marry my daughter, it will be the blessing he has cultivated in eight lifetimes!" Cheng's father glared at his wife angrily.
Chu Shang nodded repeatedly to express his agreement with this statement.
He Siyi lay next to Cheng Haoran's ear and whispered: "Who said Chu Shang has low emotional intelligence? This emotional intelligence is absolutely perfect."
Cheng Haoran also felt that the information was wrong. He watched with cold eyes as Chu Shang dealt with his father with ease, unlike a person with low emotional intelligence.
The couple didn't know Chu Shang well, so they thought the information was wrong. Little did they know that Chu Shang was just showing his true temperament. He really thought Cheng Xiran was smart and beautiful, and he also really felt that he was lucky enough to win Cheng Xiran's favor. Those words he said
It's not just to flatter Cheng's father, it's all out of a sincere heart.
"Humph!" Cheng's father made another nasal sound.
Slick tongue!
Ye Jingmei couldn't stand it any longer. She gave her husband a restrained look and then came out to smooth things over: "Drink tea, drink tea. Chu Shang, try it. I don't know what kind of tea you like to drink."
Chu Shang didn't like tea. He drank three cups of barley tea when he was thirsty. After thanking him, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Ye Jingmei continued to chat with him, asked him about his taste in food, and asked the servant to add more dishes and cook more Jiangcheng-flavored dishes.
Cheng's father was looking at Chu Shang with eyes that were not eyes and a nose that was not a nose. He felt unhappy no matter what.
Cheng Xiran has no intention of helping Chu Shang deal with her father. It's not that she doesn't want to help, but it's not necessary. Chu Shang's greatest advantage is his sincerity. No matter how many twists and turns her father has, it will all work with Chu Shang.
It didn't work. After trying it a few times, her father found it boring.
The result was not what she expected. After Cheng's father tried several times to look down on Chu Shang, deliberately made things difficult for him, and dug holes for him, Chu Shang calmly resolved the situation and temporarily stopped.
He Siyi was filled with admiration and whispered to Cheng Haoran: "Xiran is amazing. He didn't say a word to help Chu Shang. It not only made dad feel more disgusted with Chu Shang, but also made dad retreat when he saw the difficulties."
Cheng Haoran and Yourong Yan said: "She has been very good since she was a child. As long as she wants something, she always has a way to get her parents to buy it for her. Now that she has identified Chu Shang, she will naturally have a way to get her parents to accept it."
He Siyi felt that her sister-in-law was a rare and wonderful woman. No wonder Ye Lancheng relied on her more and more now, wishing to leave his entire prosperous life to her, so that he could live the life of a retired boss decades earlier.
We had dinner at Cheng's house. The atmosphere at the table was very harmonious and everyone had a good appetite, except Cheng's father, who seemed to be incompatible with sharing a table with a class enemy, and the meal was of the same taste.
After the meal, Cheng Xiran wanted to send Chu Shang to the hotel. Cheng's father felt like he was facing an enemy: "Why send him a gift? He is a grown man and he is afraid of the dark. Doesn't he have a driver at home? I really can't let your brother go and send him."
Let his daughter take the man to the hotel?
Are you kidding? What if her daughter suffers a loss?
At this time, Cheng's father had obviously forgotten that his daughter had been staying at someone else's house for a month.
"I'll send it off. It just so happens that Asi and I are going back, so we're on our way." Cheng Haoran volunteered.
Cheng's father was eager to send Chu Shang away quickly, waving his hands and saying: "Let's go quickly, Siyi is still pregnant, go back early and have a rest."
Chu Shang said goodbye very politely.
Cheng Xiran sent him to the car and whispered: "Wait for me to make a video call."
She looked like she was going to have an affair with him in the middle of the night, and her brother and sister-in-law were sitting in front of her. Chu Shang was so frightened that his heart was beating fast. He nodded casually and got in the car.
Cheng Xiran couldn't help laughing, waving to Cheng Haoran and He Siyi.
The couple nodded and started the car and drove out of the Cheng family gate.
Cheng Xiran strolled back to the villa and saw his mother sitting alone in the living room, so he asked, "Where is my dad?"
"I'm angry, go back to my room." Ye Jingmei pointed upstairs.
Cheng Xiran was speechless: "What kind of trouble does the old man want to make? Meng Xiuyu doesn't like it, and Chu Shang doesn't like it either. What kind of thing does he like?"
"No matter what you find, he won't like it. Have you ever seen an old father-in-law who likes his son-in-law? Don't worry about him, just wait until he figures it out. Mom thinks Chu Shang is good, he is honest, there is no show.
The intestines are much better than those second- and third-generation people in the business world." Ye Jingmei was completely satisfied with Chu Shang.
Cheng Xiran smiled and hugged Ye Jingmei's arm: "Mom understands me best. I don't want to find someone in the business world. If two colleagues are together, there will be no difference between going to work and going home. That would be too boring."
"You just have the right idea." Ye Jingmei pinched her daughter's nose and teased: "Then what's going on between you and Meng Xiuyu?"
Cheng Xiran:......
Damn it, she had forgotten that Meng Xiuyu had gone to the United States. If her mother hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten that she and Meng Xiuyu had a fake name.
"My mom, you reminded me of a big thing. I have to deal with Meng Xiuyu quickly." Cheng Xiran kissed his mother on the face.
The corner of Ye Jingmei's mouth twitched: "Daughter, your mother sounds like a scumbag when you say this."
Cheng Xiran held her forehead, she was not a scumbag, she just tried to be a bad good person.
"Meng Xiuyu and I are not who you think. Anyway, don't worry about it, I will take care of it." Cheng Xiran explained vaguely.
Ye Jingmei wasn't that worried. If she was really worried, she would have intervened a long time ago. She just reminded her daughter not to let the outside world think that she was treading water, lest it affect her reputation.
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on. I'll go cook your dad a bowl of noodles and coax him. I'm so angry that I didn't even eat a few bites of dinner tonight." Ye Jingmei stood up and said.
"I'll cook, I'll cook." Cheng Xiran volunteered and followed Ye Jingmei into the kitchen.
Cheng Xiran is not very good at cooking, but she can still make simple meals like noodles. She used the soup stock from the evening to cook a bowl of ginseng chicken noodle soup for Cheng's father, nestled an egg in it, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and cut it into pieces.
With a few slices of tomatoes, they are cooked with all the color and flavor.
Ye Jingmei returned to the room with the noodles. As expected, Cheng's father was not asleep yet. He was sitting in the small living room sulking. When his wife came in with food, she said, "Didn't you tell me that I have no appetite?"
"I'm too lazy to care whether you eat or not. Your daughter saw that you didn't eat enough for dinner, so she cooked it for you." Ye Jingmei put the tray on the small coffee table, said something about whether she wanted to eat or not, and went to the bathroom.
Take a shower.
"Who cares?" Cheng's father snorted coldly, reaching out to push the tray further away, but he couldn't bear to touch it. Looking at the delicious noodles, his stomach couldn't help but growl twice.
Anger is just anger, why should you abuse your own stomach? Your stomach has not offended you.
The more Father Cheng thought about it, the more he realized that he shouldn't abuse his stomach, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Mmm, it smells so good!
Ye Jingmei hid in the crack of the bathroom door and peeked for a while. After seeing her husband eating noodles, she closed the door with a smile.
A typical person who dislikes the integrity of his body. He says he doesn't like Chu Shang, but he may be satisfied in his heart.
Ye Jingmei decided not to coax her husband. It was her old father's jealousy that was at work. It had nothing to do with what kind of man his daughter found. Even if he found a god, he felt that he was not worthy of his fairy daughter.
