Chapter 2655: Since You Called Me Brother-in-Law, Should I Go Easy on You? (Bonus Chapter 2)
In front of the sickbed, Mother Chu felt a bit uneasy.
Although her son made a valid point, a woman with poor health affects the next generation’s well-being and intelligence.
This Jiang Qian cannot be accepted.
However, she agreed with Jiang Qian’s previous perspective.
Since ancient times, haven’t women who marry men followed the belief that they go where their husbands go?
That Mo Ziye and Gu Zhitong, if they like Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen, why not marry into the Imperial City and instead make the men son-in-laws?
Moreover, it’s said that one is a doctor and the other a host; they’re not exactly the type to maintain a household.
Chu Junming mixes with them constantly, running to G City every day—won’t he, in time, become just like them, abandoning her as his mother?
“Aunt, I know Junming doesn’t like me, and you’re also doubtful about my health because of what he said.”
“No, it’s not the way you think.”
The Jiang Family isn’t just any ordinary family.
Even if Mother Chu thought that way, she couldn’t say it aloud.
Her smile was somewhat stiff.
Jiang Qian gently said, “I’m in good health, not the crying type Junming said. It’s just that because I care, I get hurt, but never mind. Next time when you find a match for Junming, remember to find someone from the Imperial City who can be filial to you.”
“…”
“If in the future Junming falls in love with those proud and spoiled heiress types and loses his mind, Aunt, you must dissuade him. He shouldn’t ruin his future over a woman.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let that day come.”
Mother Chu nodded seriously.
Her son was born for the Chu Family, for the Chu Group.
She wouldn’t allow any woman to ruin his future.
Jiang Qian finally showed a smile, “Aunt, thank you for taking care of me these days. I know love cannot be forced, and soon I’ll head home.”
“Little Qian, it’s Aunt who owes you an apology.”
At this moment, Mother Chu truly felt guilty.
The words from her son and Feng Yize were hurtful, Mother Chu knew well. On the way here, she contemplated how to explain it to Jiang Qian.
To her surprise, she wasn’t angry.
Her fondness for Jiang Qian returned slightly.
Jiang Qian shook her head with a gentle smile, “Aunt, please don’t say that. It’s my own shortcomings that don’t catch Junming’s eye. I wonder if I could visit Aunt again in the future.”
“Of course, you’re always welcome.”
Mother Chu had no daughters.
The filial care Jiang Qian showed over these days made her feel good indeed.
“Aunt, you mentioned wanting a daughter before. How about now? Do I qualify?”
“…”
Mother Chu was shocked for two seconds, then responded joyfully, “Of course you qualify, Qianqian, from now on, you’re my goddaughter. It doesn’t matter that Junming doesn’t like you now; over time, he’ll develop feelings.”
“Godmother.”
Jiang Qian called sweetly.
…
G City
Just as Bai Qingling planned to take an afternoon nap, she received a call from Momo.
Asking if she wanted to go horseback riding together.
It was a rare weekend; everyone was free, Zinan also had a break. “Is Sister Tongtong going too?”
Momo chuckled on the other end of the line, “Yes, Sister Tongtong is going to spectate.”
When Bai Qingling arrived, only Momo, Ye Zhan, and Zinan were present.
Seeing her, Zinan enthusiastically pulled out the chair beside him, “Qingling, you’re finally here, sit here.”
“Why are you so enthusiastic towards me?”
Qingling was puzzled, seeing Gu Zinan’s expression as if he had been eagerly anticipating her, making her uneasy.
Could there be a plot?
Gu Zinan glanced at the other two, leaned in, and whispered, “With you here, I won’t be overwhelmed by their lovey-doveyness.”
Bai Qingling blinked and teased, “No wonder you’re so enthusiastic, wanting me to share the burden of their lovey-doveyness.”
She then looked at Ye Zhan and Momo, who were in their own world, “Sister Momo, with Zinan being single, can you restrain yourselves a bit? I’m still a kid, you know.”
“Then you should go play with Zirui; this riding club isn’t for you.”
Momo teased back with a smile.
Bai Qingling turned to Ye Zhan, “Brother-in-law, can you rein in your wife?”
Ye Zhan replied, “Sorry, I always listen to Momo.”
His serious expression made Bai Qingling and Gu Zinan roll their eyes together.
“Qingling, you didn’t come alone?”
Momo’s gaze passed by Qingling, towards the main entrance, and then pointed her lips towards it.
Qingling blinked in confusion, “No, I didn’t.”
Turning around, following Momo’s line of sight, she saw Jian Ye walking towards them.
As their eyes met, Jian Ye gave her a bright smile.
“Qingling, I just saw you and came to greet you.”
Jian Ye approached their table, explained, then greeted Ye Zhan, Gu Zinan, and others.
He had come with Lin Qiang and others to ride horses but left after a few minutes.
As he left, he mentioned contacting Qingling later.
After Jian Ye left, Qinghuan, Ziyang, Tang Jinchen, Gu Zhitong, Qingqing, and Ziyi arrived.
Just like Momo said, Tongtong was there to spectate.
The last time Mo Ziye and Ye Zhan’s competition ended in a draw, someone brought it up again.
Eventually, everyone egged them on to have a horse race.
Mo Ziye gave Ye Zhan a faint smile, “Ready, brother-in-law?”
That reference of ‘brother-in-law’ made everyone clap and cheer.
Ye Zhan raised an indifferent eyebrow, “If you call me brother-in-law, should I let you win?”
“…”
Mo Ziye gave him a meaningful glance before heading to lead his horse.
Gu Zinan and Wen Ziyang sat head to head, watching Ye Zhan and Mo Ziye in the arena, “Shall we place bets?”
“Let’s not, can’t tell who will win.”
Gu Zinan had just borrowed thirty million from Ziyang, so he felt awkward potentially winning.
Momo recorded a short video and posted it on her social media.
Within a minute, Feng Yize and Chu Junming liked it.
With a comment attached, [Sister-in-law, you guys start playing right after I leave.]
Chu Junming also asked, [Sister-in-law, do we need to place a bet?]
In the Imperial City, Chu Junming and Feng Yize were playing fishing.
After seeing Momo’s post, they ignored the fish biting on the hook, staying on her social media for two minutes.
The arena shifted to the group chat.
Momo recorded another video and sent it into the group chat.
She captured everyone in the video, Chu Junming watched it twice, his eyes resting on Bai Qingling’s bright smiling eyes.
He edited a message to send but hadn’t clicked send yet.
The chat interface was suddenly covered by an incoming call notification.
Staring at the flashing name on screen, Chu Junming’s smile faded as he pressed the answer key with his long finger.
“Hello, Mom.”
“Junming, your grandfather just called me to ask me to send Jiang Qian home.”
Mother Chu’s gentle voice came through.
Chu Junming responded with a light “um,” as he heard her say, “I’ll be sending Qianqian home soon. You don’t like her, and I won’t force you, but there’s something I need to tell you.”
