Chapter 484: Allowing early love or not? (Second update)_1

At that moment, Ren He really wanted to talk to Mrs. Ren about what ideals were, what truly should be the pursuit of a person’s life, and if a person has no dreams, how are they any different from salted fish!

However, when the words reached his lips, they immediately changed tone: "If you want to listen, I can play anytime."

Yang Xi rarely saw Ren He adopt such a sycophantic demeanor, looking almost desperate to rush up and massage and rub his own mother’s shoulders...

"My son has bought a Courtyard House, yet doesn’t invite his own mom to stay for a couple of days. Fang whipped up spring rolls for me tonight, he said it’s your favorite. I never even got a taste of it before," Mrs. Ren continued calmly.

"If you like them, just stay here and let Uncle Fang make them for you every day, right Uncle Fang?" Ren He quickly signaled to Fang with his eyes.

Fang by the side quickly responded with honest agreement: "Yes, even if you crave them in the middle of the night, I will get up and make them."

During this time, Fang was quite anxious, not because Ren He wasn’t around, but because of his own simple mindset: no pay without work.

When farming, if you plant the seeds and look after them well, as long as there are no natural disasters, and take care of pests, weeds, and fertilization properly, you would naturally have a good harvest.

You reap what you sow, this is indeed the most basic thinking, unrelated to karma.

Yet now, they hadn’t done a lick of work during this time, but were enjoying the high salary Ren He provided them. They told this to their daughter who was attending university, believing she would understand the reasoning more than they did.

After pondering for a long time, the daughter replied: "This master of the house must be someone of esteemed stature. Since he is generous and kind-hearted, you should continue to work there. Don’t overexert yourselves. I’ll go clean his other villa. I can’t rest easy enjoying the fruits of your labor."

So now, Fang and Mrs. Wang were truly idle, with their daughter taking over cleaning the villa in the Gongyuan, leaving them just to look after the Courtyard House. Fang always felt that his daughter, being a Peking University student, shouldn’t be doing such menial tasks anymore, but she vehemently disagreed, insisting on sharing the workload.

Speaking of which, the old couple felt quite gratified; their daughter hadn’t been raised in vain.

However, Mrs. Ren’s anger was not so easily quelled. She gestured for Fang to pour her more tea and continued calmly, "I’ve lived more than half a lifetime before I found out my son can paint, with a single painting worth millions. He didn’t even offer to paint one for his old mother."

You can’t be too tough in front of everyone, especially not in front of your own mother. Ren He was the type to be submissive, even in the face of his mother-in-law, so in front of his own mom, he had, of course, to back down: "Paint! I can paint right now!"

Ren He was sweating bullets, just wishing the empress dowager of his household would calm her anger. As a son, there really was no need to argue with his mom at times like this.

Yang Xi watched all of this with amusement. She knew very well how much Mrs. Ren loved her son. When Yang Xi first told Mrs. Ren about Ren He’s accident, Mrs. Ren truly didn’t sleep for two days and nights, making calls one after another, yet her son’s whereabouts remained unknown, a mystery as vast as the ocean.

During those two days, Mrs. Ren didn’t eat a bite, which made Yang Xi feel for her.

In the past, Ren He told Yang Xi he was always left to fend for himself, but later on, as Yang Xi chatted with Mrs. Ren, who she empathized with as a "mother and daughter," Mrs. Ren would hold a stack of photo albums and tell Yang Xi about Ren He’s childhood.

As a child, when Ren He wanted to eat an ice pop, he would say he was hungry...

When Ren He wet the bed in kindergarten, he would say he sweated...

Ren He once almost got lost in a mall...

Ren He had won a kindergarten clothing competition...

It was also at this time that Yang Xi realized something, that many things we may have forgotten, but parents never do.

Back then, she missed Yang En and Su Ruqin so much. She vividly remembered the scene of Su Ruqin holding her and sobbing outside the fire site after the big fire. Since that day, she had never seen Su Ruqin cry again.

Ren He was finally out of danger, and half of Yang Xi’s own troubles had dissipated. She decided to call her parents tonight.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Ren continued to grumble, "My son’s all grown up and doesn’t tell his old mother anything. He finds such a good girlfriend and doesn’t even bring her home for a visit."

Ren He was bewildered at the time. Wasn’t it you who said no to dating early? And now the attitude changed? He looked at Yang Xi beside him, and one could imagine how much Mrs. Ren had taken to Yang Xi during this time...

Indeed, that was the case. Originally, they should have had a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, but because of the incident involving Ren He, Yang Xi had practically become like a daughter to Mrs. Ren, communicating with her even more than Mrs. Ren did with Ren He.

Recently, Yang Xi had been calling her ’Mom’ at every turn, and Mrs. Ren had long since started to consider her like her own daughter.

Honestly, Mrs. Ren suddenly felt that this was quite nice and, over this period, she became acutely aware of just how deep Yang Xi’s affection for her son was.

As his mother, Mrs. Ren never hoped for her son to be in danger, but since her son was willing to risk his life to stay in New York for Yang Xi, she needed to see for herself whether this girl was truly worth it.

Once everything had settled down, Mrs. Ren bemoaned that her son was indeed impeccable when it came to love. As a woman, most people admire pure love and detest scumbags. Mrs. Ren was comforted to know that her son excelled in that respect.

The couple in front of her had indeed created a magnificent love story for the ages...

And Yang Xi was indeed someone worth her son’s efforts.

That’s why Mrs. Ren no longer held any blame towards Yang Xi in her heart, because she was worthy. Yang Xi, from the bottom of her heart, was thankful for Mrs. Ren’s understanding of it all. Though her sense of guilt wouldn’t decrease because of this, being understood and respected during such times always brought some peace of mind.

Ren He watched as Mrs. Ren and Yang Xi seemed to be forming a united front, and he immediately felt a bit uneasy.

Mrs. Ren gave him a sidelong glance, "Since you’re in a relationship, be serious about it. Don’t let her down. Xi, when you have time, arrange for me and Ren He’s dad to meet with your parents so we can settle this matter."

Yang Xi, standing nearby, was as pleased as if she had received an imperial sword. Now, Ren He was not getting away. She felt that her decision to go directly to Ren He’s house in the first place was truly wise.

Ren He was stunned, "Didn’t you forbid me from dating early?"

"At your age, you would already have kids in your dad’s hometown in Wuhan. What early dating? I never mentioned such a thing," Mrs. Ren now completely denied ever having said that...

"Ay ay ay, whatever you say goes," Ren He said as he attempted to pull Yang Xi inside to talk. As long as Mrs. Ren didn’t bring up extreme sports, everything was negotiable.

But Mrs. Ren immediately stared him down, "Did I say you could leave? Have we settled our own accounts yet?"

...

Today, we just saw off all the relatives and friends who had come to Luoyang, once again thanking everyone for their blessings. Also, thanks to Rabbit and Dreamless for attending the wedding and even doing a live broadcast with the razorblades... Well, that’s acceptable...
