Chapter 290 Daughter-In-Law

“Is that so? Third Brother, you’re really amazing!” Tan Rou said cooperatively.

Zhuang Liu had yet to adapt to this new title. When he first heard it, his mood was like that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth. He was delighted.

Shen Jing took Tan Rou’s hand and smiled from ear to ear. “Let me tell you more about his achievements.” She dug out all of Zhuang Liu’s achievements since he was young and picked out some important ones, especially the international awards.

Tan Rou was also happy to listen. From time to time, she would ask some questions, and Shen Jing answered them patiently one by one.

Zhuang Liu was sitting at the side. He asked the waiter to bring another pot of tea so that they could drink it when they were thirsty. He knew that his mother knew what to say and what not to say. Therefore, he didn’t stop his mother from telling Tan Rou about his glorious deeds. Instead, he hoped that his mother would tell Tan Rou more.

Halfway through their conversation, the dishes were served.

Shen Jing looked at the freshly served tea and thought of Chen Yi, so she put down her chopsticks. “In the past, I only knew that Chen Yi was brainless and mean. Now that I’ve seen her, I realize that she’s vicious and uneducated.”

She felt a lingering fear. “Fortunately, our family didn’t get engaged to them at that time. Otherwise, I probably won’t be able to sleep well in the future.”

Then, she scolded Zhuang Liu. “Back then, you insisted on getting engaged to the Tan family. I don’t know what’s so good about the Tan family. You’re usually so smart. Why did you choose this family?”

Zhuang Liu felt so wronged. The reason why he wanted to get engaged to the Tan family was because he thought Tan Rou was the daughter of the Tan family, and he couldn’t tell Tan Rou about this yet.

“Auntie, Third Brother may have misjudged that family as well.” Tan Rou tried to mediate. “I’ve been in the Tan family for many years, but I haven’t been able to see their ugly faces clearly all those years. Third Brother has only seen them a few times. How can he truly understand them?”

Shen Jing became even angrier at the mention of this. She complained, “Chen Yi is such a vicious woman. She actually fed sleeping pills to you when you were so young. You were just a child at that time. Even if she doesn’t like you, she can’t do such a thing.”

Zhuang Liu had noted this down in his heart. In the future, he would definitely seek revenge from the Tan family.

Tan Rou comforted Shen Jing, “Auntie, don’t be angry. Aren’t I fine now?”

“You’re a good girl.” Shen Jing touched Tan Rou’s hand. “My heart does ache for you.”

Tan Rou held Shen Jing’s hand and gave Zhuang Liu a look. Zhuang Liu nodded.

After dinner, Zhuang Liu sent a message to Xiao Mo to pick them up. He was going to send Tan Rou back first.

“Xiao Rou, let me send you back first.” Zhuang Liu said.

Tan Rou tactfully rejected his kind offer. “I still need to go to the bookstore to buy some school supplies. You can go with Auntie. Auntie rarely comes to City An. Why don’t you go shopping together and experience the local culture?” She wanted to create an opportunity for the mother and son to spend more time together. They usually wouldn’t have much opportunity to talk to each other.

“Alright, send me a message when you get home.” Zhuang Liu wouldn’t make things difficult for Tan Rou. Besides, they had other things to talk about. “We’ll talk later.”

“Goodbye then.” Tan Rou and the others waved goodbye and went to the bus stop.

Shen Jing looked at Tan Rou’s back as she walked away. The more she looked at her, the more she liked Tan Rou. She told her son, “You have to seize the opportunity and get Rourou as soon as possible. There aren’t many girls who are so beautiful, smart, and kind. You must bring her home as my daughter-in-law.”

Zhuang Liu said, “Mom, are you relieved now? Stop asking me to go on blind dates anymore.”

Shen Jing was still a little worried. “Son, when will your leg recover? You told me it would be soon, but if we wait another five or six years, Rourou would probably have a boyfriend long ago.”

Zhuang Liu’s leg was a big worry for Shen Jing. Ever since he was poisoned and was confined in a wheelchair, Shen Jing’s heart had not felt good for a single day. She did not protect Zhuang Liu well and caused him to suffer for so many years.

“Madam, don’t worry,” Xiao Mo said. “That miracle doctor is very powerful. Even Mr. Bai Jing praised him as a genius. Moreover, didn’t you see it too? Third Young Master can already stand up for more than ten seconds.”

“I saw him walk just now, even though he only took one step,” Shen Jing said.

Xiao Mo was delighted. “That’s great, Third Master. We’re one step closer to a full recovery.”

Shen Jing sighed and said, “I don’t want you to achieve much. I just hope that you can be healthy. I’ll be happy with just that.”

Zhuang Liu said. “Mom, don’t worry. My leg is really going to recover soon. When the time comes, I will definitely bring Xiao Rou home.”

Shen Jing smiled. “Sure. I’ll be waiting for that day.”
