Chapter 212: Chapter 162: Furious Mother Jing

I’ll try to update another Chapter by the second watch of the night.

----------------------------------

"...You little deadbeat, are you even my son? From now on, don’t go around saying you’re my son. It’s embarrassing, so embarrassing. You simply ignore everything I say.

I’ve inquired clearly for you, Xiao Chuxia was willing to get engaged to Little Bee because she was pressured by him! If you were half as assertive as Little Bee, at this point, who Xiao Chuxia is engaged to would still be a question mark.

And look at you now, she’s engaged, do you even understand what that means? When you were chasing Xiao Chuxia before, no one said anything. But if you chase her now, people’s spit will drown you!

You see her every day with a clear conscience, yet how can you be so inept? A man can compromise on anything but not on the woman he loves!

You idiot, can you hesitate or yield on such matters? Even if you don’t consider yourself, don’t you think about Xiao Chuxia? If a woman marries the wrong man, she’ll suffer for her whole life.

And that Old Madam Zhou, do you think she likes Xiao Chuxia? Hmph, they won’t even let us attend the engagement banquet, saying they won’t invite any outsiders and will only send invitations for the wedding. Bullshit! They’re simply afraid that I would reveal their family scandal and Xiao Chuxia might call off the wedding, right? Tell me, such a delicate girl is going to marry that brute Little Bee? It’s like casting pearls before swine..."

In the Jing Family, Grandpa Jing and Grandma Jing, one on each side, trapped Jing Zhe in the middle, subjecting him to an assault like a storm from Zhu Xinqin. Jing Monian sat opposite his son, looking on with a face full of sympathy.

After venting for a long time, Zhu Xinqin noticed that her son sat calmly, as if the person being scolded wasn’t him. Angrily not making any headway, she sprung up and pummeled him fiercely.

"Hit him hard, this deadbeat; his skin’s thick, he doesn’t feel pain."

"Exactly, Xiao Qin, go ahead and hit him hard, but don’t hurt your own hand."

Jing Monian saw his own parents, Elder Jing and Old Madam Jing, cheering on the beating, and rubbed his forehead in disbelief. "Xiao Qin, don’t scratch Xiao Zhe’s face and make it so he can’t see people."

"You think I’m stupid? Would I scratch his face?" Zhu Xinqin redirected her fire at Jing Monian, who quickly raised his hands in defense, knowing his wife’s temper well, "You misunderstood, I’m worried your nails might accidentally scratch Xiao Zhe’s face. Besides, you’ve been growing those nails accidentally, right? If they break because you’re angry at this kid, it wouldn’t be worth it, would it?"

"You know what’s good for you!" Zhu Xinqin huffed and sat down. Seeing her son still looking unconcerned, she got angrier, "You deadbeat, do you even have a heart?"

"Mom..." Jing Zhe, worried his mother might get sick with rage, quickly tried to calm her down. "What can I say at this point? Actually..." He paused. "I did think about cutting in, but really, there was no opportunity.

I see her every day, but during class, I obviously can’t just talk to her, right? After class, she has training, and I can’t intrude on that, right? After training in the evening, she has to practice singing. If I truly dragged her out, I guess she wouldn’t need to stay in the military anymore.

After her parents came, I wanted to visit. Twice I even bought things and went over, only to hear Zhou Mikang’s voice at the door. What do you think would’ve happened if I had gone in?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xinqin’s heart softened for her son. She leaned forward and gently patted his head, "Mom didn’t hurt you with the hitting, did I? Why didn’t you tell me sooner? If I knew the whole story, would I have been so angry?"

Jing Zhe looked helplessly, "You didn’t give me a chance to speak."

"That’s right, you didn’t give him a chance."

Grandpa Jing and Grandma Jing nodded in agreement, vouching for their grandson.

"Dad, Mom, why don’t you go back to your room and rest."

Hearing their daughter-in-law asking them to leave, Elder Jing and Old Madam Jing were displeased. They exchanged looks and Old Madam Jing, full of righteous indignation, said, "You might bully Xiao Zhe, but we’re here with him!"

Jing Zhe, speechless, wondered whether they were really there for him or if they just wanted to see him embarrassed?

Jing Monian sighed, "Alright, things have come this far, don’t blame Xiao Zhe anymore. Believe me, he’s not feeling good inside either. Your scolding will only make him feel worse."

"I can’t let it go just like that. I’m not satisfied!" Zhu Xinqin frowned deeply, "I finally find a good girl and Lin Yanqiu snatches her away from me? No way!"

"What can you do if not? They’re already engaged and getting married in October. Do you want Xiao Zhe to walk around with his head down in the courtyard forever?"

"I..." Zhu Xinqin looked at her son, her face a mix of discontent and resignation, "Xiao Zhe, what do you really think? If you agree, mom will help you win back Xiao Chuxia!"

"Mom..." Jing Zhe looked earnestly at Zhu Xinqin, "Do you really like Chuxia, or are you just upset because Chuxia is going to be Aunt Lin’s daughter-in-law?"

"Both!" Zhu Xinqin admitted frankly. "I like Xiao Chuxia and I can’t stand that Lin Yanqiu took my daughter-in-law. Damn it, I can’t blame myself for this. If you hadn’t come home every day talking about how smart and diligent Xiao Chuxia is, would I be this troubled?"

"Mom, I like Lin Chuxia, but I was a step behind Zhou Mikang. As for future opportunities, no one can say. But at this time, please don’t pressure me, okay?"

"You little rascal, you..." Finding her son’s eyes reddening, Zhu Xinqin lost the edge to her rage. That’s right, her son must be the one suffering the most at the moment. What was she doing? "Son, I won’t pressure you. In the end, whoever you marry, as long as you’re happy, I will be too."

Jing Monian shook his head with a smile, relieved that the storm had finally passed.

Old Master Jing and Old Madam Jing exchanged a glance and stood up in unison, "Let’s go see the new bride."

"Dad, Mom..." Jing Monian anxiously held onto Old Master Jing and Old Madam Jing, "What are you going to do?"

"You don’t know what we’re going to do?" Old Madam Jing gave him a look, "It’s fine if you don’t accompany us but pretending to be confused, are you really my son?"

"Dad, Mom..." Jing Monian showed a helpless expression, "Could you two not cause trouble, please? Didn’t you listen to what was said just now?"

"What was said?" The old couple shook their heads in unison, "We were only watching Xiao Qin scold Xiao Zhe, we didn’t pay attention to your conversation."

Jing Monian: "..."

"Grandpa, Grandma, if you really care for me, then don’t go to the Zhou family at this time. I promise you, I’ll actively look for a granddaughter-in-law to bring home for you."

Old Madam Jing stared straight at Jing Zhe, "You must keep your word!"

"Of course!"

"Old man, you heard what Xiao Zhe said, didn’t you?"

Old Master Jing nodded, "Of course!"

Old Madam Jing grinned, "Then let’s go."

"Where to?"

Jing Zhe and Jing Monian almost spoke at the same time.

"Of course, to the Zhou family, where else did you think we were going?" Zhu Xinqin said while helping the old couple to stand, one on each side, "Dad, Mom, I’ll accompany you."

Jing Zhe had a pained expression, "Mom, didn’t you say you wouldn’t cause trouble?"

"Who said I’m going to cause trouble?" Zhu Xinqin shot a glance at her son, "Your grandpa and grandma haven’t seen Chuxia yet and want to take this joyful opportunity to see what Chuxia looks like. Is that not okay?"

Old Master Jing and Old Madam Jing nodded together, indicating that their daughter-in-law spoke exactly what they were thinking.

The Jing father and son were completely defeated. They exchanged glances and dismissed it with a wave of the hand, "Whatever!"

"Just stay home and keep an eye on the house, we’ll be back." Zhu Xinqin said laughingly, patting the father and son before pulling Old Master Jing and Old Madam Jing out. The two men exchanged wry smiles and sighed together.

After a moment of thought, Jing Monian consoled his son, "Xiao Zhe, your mom and your grandparents are sensible people, don’t worry."

"I know." Jing Zhe rubbed his forehead with resignation, "Now I regret why did I come back and tell Mom about Lin Chuxia. Sigh!"

"Your mom and Aunt Lin have been at it for a lifetime. Could they possibly not make a fuss about this kind of thing?" Jing Monian patted his son, "Silly boy, I guess back then you didn’t even know your own feelings."

"Yes." Jing Zhe nodded in agreement, "At that time, I really didn’t think about it that way. By the time I realized, it was already too late. Sigh, she is indeed a remarkable girl.

Dad, I’ve told you she’s from a rural background. But can you imagine, she even plays the accordion at a professional level? Anyway, she’s like a mysterious girl."

Jing Monian chuckled, "So, now you are also hoping your mom and grandparents will change something, right?"

"I know it’s not possible." Jing Zhe looked embarrassed, "But I still can’t help but hope."

"Silly boy!" Jing Monian shook his head and stood up, "I’m going to the study. Otherwise, once your mom and your grandparents return, nothing will get done."

Jing Zhe remained seated, "I want to sit here for a while."

"My son is no less than Zhou Jingping’s son!" Jing Monian declared, patting his son’s shoulder forcefully and then turning to enter the study.

Jing Zhe just smiled bitterly, for now, how was he qualified to compare with Zhou Mikang?

But then again, they were in different fields, so there was nothing to compare. A moment of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered seeing Director Xu talking with Chuxia’s parents. He abruptly stood, opened the door to the study, "Dad, I need to use the phone. You go rest for a while."

"What is it, you need to say it behind my back?" Even though Jing Monian mumbled this, he cooperated and got up, leaving the spot for his son.

When Jing Zhe came out of the study, he found that his mother Zhu Xinyu and his grandparents were already sitting in the living room, which made him ask in confusion, "How come you’re back so soon?"

"We were too late, Xiao Chuxia had already left." Zhu Xinyu shrugged helplessly, "Such a pity." Despite her words, the expression on her face was all smiles. (To be continued.
