Accidentally entered a high gate

Jing Chongyue wanted to curse. But Ji Ning was his daughter-in-law, not his son. Jing Chongyue gritted his teeth. "You don't need to keep emphasizing that you and Yancheng are my biological son and daughter-in-law. I'm asking you, why did the mistress come to me and your mother-in-law? Your mother-in-law and I haven't been involved in anything for eight or nine years."

Ji Ning: "..."

"Because you two are cowards!"

Ji Ning: "..."

"If you two weren't cowards, would the mistress have bothered me?"

Ji Ning: "..."

"You two... never mind, let's not talk about it anymore. Give the phone to Yancheng."

"Okay." Ji Ning handed the phone to Jing Yancheng.

Jing Chongyue scolded him a couple more times before saying, "Let Shu Yao and Yan Min handle their own affairs. Don't get involved. Xiao San, are you two free next Sunday?"

Jing Yancheng: "..." Why did his dad ask Ma Xiaosan if he was free next Sunday? Did his dad want Ma Xiaosan to come visit him next Sunday? And, his dad actually scolded the two of them in front of Ma Xiaosan!

Ma Lifeng said loudly, "Yes."

Seeing that he was speaking very loudly, Jing Chongyue first cursed him as a "little rascal" before saying to Jing Yancheng, "The mistress is coming to see you two next Sunday. If you two are still cowards, I'll make you two work as her assistants."

Jing Yancheng: "..." Then how are the two of them supposed to live? "I just feel that I'm familiar with Lifeng, so there's no need for all those formalities."

"Hmph! Would you have done the same to someone else?"

Of course we'll do it! If we don't, the other party will look down on us, and on his daughter. "Dad, calm down. Dad, did you receive the things Ji Ning and I sent you and Mom last time?"

"Received. The mistress and her husband are here. You two can put on airs as usual."

Ma Lifeng said loudly, "That's right! You are the bride's parents. The bride's parents should hold themselves in high esteem."

Jing Yancheng: "..." We haven't even put on any airs yet, and you've already run to my dad to complain. If we did put on airs, you'd probably tear the roof off our house! "Hahahaha... I know. I'll keep a high profile."

"That's more like it. Alright, you two can go do whatever you need to do. I'm going to chat with my mistress now." With that, Jing Chongyue hung up the phone.

Jing Yancheng put the receiver back after hearing his father hang up. "Are we still going to the park?"

"I'm not going." She was in no mood for a park visit. "Doesn't Ma Xiaosan dislike following the rules? Why insist on following them this time?"

Jing Yancheng rubbed his forehead. "Although it was really annoying that he ran to Dad to complain, it also shows that he takes this matter very seriously and cares a lot about our daughter."

Ji Ning thought about it and agreed. "Ma Xiaosan... Ma Xiaosan doesn't seem... doesn't seem that bad."

Jing Yancheng rubbed his forehead again. "When he doesn't want to be a scoundrel, of course he won't be. If he wants to be a scoundrel, even his father can't do anything about it."

Ji Ning immediately thought of Ma Lifeng getting married as soon as he went to the countryside...

After remembering, Ji Ning also started rubbing her forehead.

Meanwhile, Jing Shuyao was chatting with Grandma Ji when Yan Min's voice came from outside. "Grandma Ji, is Shuyao home?"

Grandma Ji's lips instantly curled into a smile. She had watched Yan Min grow up. If Yan Min and Shu Qie got together, she'd be laughing in her sleep. "Here. Come in."

"Why!"

A moment later, Yan Min came in.

Yan Min was carrying a basket with several bunches of grapes inside. "Grandma Ji, our grapes are ripe. My grandma asked me to bring you a few bunches."

Grandma Ji looked at Yan Min and smiled, "You've come to bring Grandma Ji grapes?"

Yan Min blushed. "I...I also wanted to ask Shu Yao to go to the library to read."

"Hahaha...Grandma knew you weren't here to bring me grapes."

"Hehe... Shu Yao, are you free?"

"Yes," she told everyone that she liked Ma Yanmin. Now that Ma Yanmin had asked her out, if she didn't go, everyone would become suspicious. "Grandma, I went to the library with Yanmin to read."

"Go ahead, go ahead," Grandma Ji said with a smile, waving her hand.

Jing Shuyao grabbed her bag and ID and went out with Yan Min.

After leaving the house, Jing Shuyao walked towards the gate while muttering, "Ma Yanmin, you're something else."

Yan Min was a little confused. "Are you praising me?"

"Yes." Jing Shuyao tilted her head, looked at Yan Min, and asked softly, "You acted really well just now. Have you studied it?"

Yan Min knew why she had praised him. "Nothing."

"So how did you make your face turn red?"

Of course, it's because I'm embarrassed. "It's my secret."

A secret? "You're not holding back your blood, are you?"

"Of course not. What kind of books do you like to read?"

Seeing that Yan Min was trying to change the subject, Jing Shuyao figured that Yan Min was probably holding his breath and his face was red.

Jing Shuyao told Yan Min what kind of books she liked to read. "And you?"

"I like reading philosophical and historical books."

……

The old ladies who were enjoying the cool shade under the trees started gossiping when they saw Yan Min and Jing Shuyao going out together.

A: "Are these two kids dating?"

B: "Really? I remember they used to fight really badly when they were kids."

C: "I remember too."

Ding: "Why did those two fight when they were kids?"

C: "Shu Yao noticed that Yan Min and Yan Bang didn't look alike, so she asked Yan Min if he was adopted. Yan Min said no, but Shu Yao didn't believe him."

Ding remembered. "Yes, yes, that's it."

A: "You could say they became friends after a fight."

B: "Who says it isn't?"

……

Jing Shuyao did not have a library card in Beijing.

Upon arriving at the library, Yan Min first helped her obtain a Beijing city library card before leading her inside to find books. After finding books they liked, the two began to read.

Meanwhile, Wanwan was busy when an older woman came over. "Little Ma, what are you busy with?"

"Looking up some information. Do you need something?"

"Yes. Do you have a boyfriend?"

"no."

"Then let me introduce you to someone."

"Okay. I'd like to find someone who can cook, take care of children, and is also better than their peers at work."

The older sister: "..." Is Xiao Ma really looking for someone like that? Or is he just subtly rejecting her? If he really wants someone like that, he'll probably end up an old maid. "You're busy. I know what kind of person you're looking for."

Wanwan said "Okay," and then continued looking up information.

The older sister saw that Wanwan was busy again, so she left.

As soon as the older sister returned to her office, a young man approached her. "Sis, did Yan Lin agree?"

"Xiao Ma said she wants to find a husband who can cook, take care of children, and is more outstanding than his peers. Can you cook? Can you take care of children?"

"Who wouldn't like someone like Yan Lin? Do you want to cook every day? Take care of the kids every day?"

I don't want to. "Yan Lin... Yan Lin is looking for a husband based on the standards she uses for hiring a nanny. This... this is wrong."

Who can argue with that? But, "that's their standard."

Young man: "..."

On the other hand, Qi Chengyao's boss also wanted to introduce him to potential partners.

After Qi Chengyao finished reporting on his work, his supervisor gave him a few pointers before looking at him with a smile and saying, "Little Qi, do you have a girlfriend? If not, I can introduce you to someone. My niece is the same age as you, she graduated from Renmin University, and she works in the ministry now."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qi Chengyao said, "Thank you! I have a girl I like. I've been pursuing her for four years."

He's been pursuing her for four years and still hasn't won her over? "Does that girl have someone she likes? Or..."
