All parents are the same, especially when their children are not yet married; they pay special attention to the opposite sex around them.
Evidently, Wen's mother had noticed this 'Su Dad.'
It's impossible not to notice. Is this a usual nickname for anyone? Even if he hasn't reached that stage with my daughter, their relationship must be quite deep. The rarest thing is that our eldest granddaughter doesn't mind him and even likes him a lot, which is really precious.
When marrying again with a kid, what's most important? Aside from character, which is essential, the children's feelings come first.
Evidently, the little girl really likes this 'Su Dad,' which made the two elders pay more attention to their daughter's friend.
The next day, six o'clock in the evening
"What's going on, Sister Qing, why did Auntie come over?" At the Qingshui Garden District, at the landlady's house, Shen Yi cautiously asked while looking at the busy figure in the kitchen.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing felt a surge of frustration and helplessly replied, "It's a long story."
"Then I'm leaving, bye-bye!"
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you disregarding the rules? Aren't you supposed to ask me to make a long story short?" Wen Nanqing hurriedly grabbed this lifesaver.
"Since you said it's a long story, it must not be a good thing. I'd better leave first."
"Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you. Didn't I go home yesterday? The matter was resolved, but my parents got interested in Su Qing and wanted to come over and take a look. I explained earnestly, but the elders just wouldn't believe it!" Wen Nanqing spread her hands helplessly.
Ever since the little girl called 'Su Dad' yesterday, her mom had been talking to her all night, partly because they were interested in Su Qing and partly because they feared their daughter might get fooled again, so they wanted to come over to check it out and meet the 'Su Dad' from the little girl's mouth.
Especially upon hearing that Su Qing was only in his early twenties, they felt even more uneasy, fearing she might be cheated.
These words even made the landlady blush. She's a single mom with a child from a previous marriage, worrying about being taken advantage of by someone in their early twenties? What a joke.
Even Shen Yi, who is unmarried, felt like she was taking advantage, let alone her.
She even brought out Shen Yi, but the elder retaliated with, 'Why did Xiao Yi's boyfriend become Xiao Yun's dad,' leaving her speechless.
Yeah, why would someone else's boyfriend become the father of your child? No matter how she explained, Wen's mother thought she was lying and trying to hide something.
Especially since she didn't want to go on blind dates, it made Wen's mother feel suspicious of her daughter's behavior, which is why she followed along.
After hearing Wen Nanqing's story, even Shen Yi couldn't help but widen her eyes. What, my person I haven't even started with yet is already meeting the family?
This progression is way faster than the woman Su Qing was on a blind date with the day before.
"So what now?"
"What do you think? Didn't I bring you, the main character, over to explain to my mom? What if Su Qing finds out, will I still have face?" Wen Nanqing stomped anxiously.
Her mother insisted on coming, and as a daughter, one can't shut the elder out, especially since she's reliant on her parents. Most importantly, she knew that the matter wouldn't be settled unless her mom was assured.
"I... I can't do it either?"
"Why can't you? Su Qing won't escape your palm sooner or later. Stop deceiving yourself. Just help me explain first," Wen Nanqing said, then shouted towards the kitchen:
"Mom, Xiao Yi is here!"
Hearing this, Wen's mom, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, came out with a smile on her face:
"Oh, Xiao Yi, come in, come in. You've become more attractive. I heard from Xiao Qing that you're in Jiang City. Why didn't you come to Auntie's house for a bit!"
Wen's mom held Shen Yi's hand, looking her up and down, becoming more and more fond of her. If her son weren't older and married, she would have liked this girl to become her daughter-in-law.
Faced with the elder's enthusiasm, Shen Yi had no choice but to reply, "Well, work has been too busy lately. I was just talking with Sister Qing about visiting you soon."
"You young people, why are you all so career-oriented? Being a girl, even though career is important, you can't neglect relationships. By the way, do you have someone special?"
Shen Yi: ...
Seeing her in a daze, Wen Nanqing kicked her chair lightly:
"Mom, I've already told you, Xiao Yi and Su Qing are developing a relationship. If you don't believe me, you can ask her directly!"
Facing Wen's mom's gaze, Shen Yi could only nervously reply, "Ah, yes... there's some truth. We've known each other for a while. He works at my company now, and we're neighbors in Sister Wen's district. The house is even hers."
Hearing the main character say so, although Wen's mom felt a bit disappointed, she also sighed in relief, given that Su Qing is quite young.
"Is that so? How come he's working at your company? Didn't Su Qing open his own company?"
In the elder's eyes, Shen Yi, a well-rounded young woman with a great figure and good looks, and superior earning ability, should at least be with a wealthy second-generation individual, not someone who works at her own company.
For a moment, the old lady was somewhat confused.
Seeing this, the landlady quickly explained, "Mom, it's more like a hero saving a beauty, not about conditions."
Then she recounted the story of how Shen Yi and Su Qing met and what happened in the process.
After hearing it, even if Wen's mom still had some doubts, she believed most of it.
"Oh, that's why someone as excellent as Xiao Yi would like a young man who has nothing. It's like that, isn't it?"
"But it doesn't matter, getting married, character is the most important. Money can't be taken with you when you die, but as long as it's enough, it's fine. As long as the young man's character is good, the rest will come. Don't be like our Xiao Qing, running into a white-eyed wolf."
The old lady gently patted Shen Yi's hand, reminding her as if looking at her own daughter.
"Auntie is right. I just feel comfortable with him. Actually, it hasn't reached the stage Sister Wen mentioned. We're still friends," Shen Yi said, a bit embarrassed.
"That's fine, take your time. But why does Xiao Yun call him Su Dad though?" the elder asked Shen Yi.
It's not that she doesn't trust her daughter, but such matters sound more genuine from an outsider.
"Oh, that, I do know. Su Qing has a golden retriever at home that Xiao Yun really likes, and slowly they became familiar. You know, at Xiao Yun's age, naturally, she would grow attached to him over time!"
Shen Yi didn't hide it and explained how Su Qing had taken leave to attend a performance at Xiao Yun's kindergarten, which even moved the old lady.
"He's a good kid, but isn't it troubling for them? Xiao Qing, since they've helped you so much, you shouldn't charge them rent, you hear?"
Landlady: ...
Is this really what I want? If it weren't for someone, I'd let them live there for free.
"By the way, you said this Su Qing also lives in this district? Invite him over for dinner. I want to thank him in person," Wen's mom said, leaving the two startled.
"What's wrong?"
"Mom, that's not appropriate. Xiao Yi and him aren't at that stage yet."
"Yes, Auntie, calling him over would be awkward. Maybe some other time."
Upon hearing this and seeing the two women's reactions, a sliver of doubt crept into the old lady's heart.
Don't be fooled by her age; Wen's mom is shrewd. Having eaten more years' worth of meals, she could clearly see the exchange of glances between her daughter and Shen Yi. She's not sure what, but they definitely have secrets they're hiding from her, just unsure if it involves her daughter.
Meanwhile, in another building in the district,
"Achoo, achoo, achoo!"
Sitting in front of the computer, Su Qing sneezed three times, instantly feeling a chill. The next second
[Blind date, second round, underway... underway... underway, interrupted… temporarily ended!]
Su Qing: ???
