Chapter 793: 0782 Only a real mom could do such a thing

Su Ran looked at her mother-in-law accepting her without any reservations and couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Do you really have no thoughts about me at all?"

Tao Wanqing was taken aback, "What thoughts?"

"Family background, appearance, character, personal integrity, the way one conducts themselves."

Tao Wanqing waved her hand dismissively, "My son’s personal integrity isn’t great either. It’s not bad that someone is willing to marry him, what else can I think?"

Su Ran: "..."

She could see now, her mother-in-law truly had her heart set on despising her own son!

"Besides, the person you are marrying isn’t me. The two of us won’t live a lifetime together. Whether you have lots of good or bad qualities, it doesn’t directly relate to me. Why would I bother myself by finding faults in you every day?!"

Su Ran couldn’t help laughing and crying at the same time, "I thought you would have at least some opinion of me."

"You are the one Qi Yuan has chosen, and I trust him. As long as you and Qi Yuan think it’s good, it’s good!!"

Su Ran felt somewhat moved at that moment, and just then, Tao Wanqing said:

"Could it be that in your heart, I am some kind of difficult and wicked mother-in-law?"

Su Ran awkwardly touched her nose, "Not at all."

Tao Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, "Hmm?"

Su Ran coughed lightly, a bit embarrassed:

"Just, during our first meeting, I had imagined whether you might be like those mothers-in-law portrayed on TV."

"Like what?"

Su Ran: "Giving a check for five million."

Tao Wanqing: "..."

She indeed had given one, and not just one at that!

Tao Wanqing’s gaze wavered slightly, "How are those mothers-in-law on TV portrayed?"

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, "Something like, ’Take this five million, and leave my son!’"

Upon hearing this, Tao Wanqing immediately rolled her eyes in expressionless frustration.

"I’m not stupid!"

It had not been easy for her son to find a wife. It would make more sense to give money to keep her around than to pay her to leave!

That wouldn’t be foolish!

That would be brain-dead!

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, then smiled.

In that moment, all the strangeness and the hard-to-break barriers vanished instantly.

It was also in that moment, Su Ran truly felt a sense of belonging, a feeling of having a home, family, and people who care about her.

Unprecedentedly strong!

Breaking through the final distance, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became even closer than before. They chatted so happily that they forgot the time, completely oblivious to Fu Qiyuan, who hadn’t been able to contact his wife.

As the end of work approached, Fu Qiyuan dialed Su Ran’s number once more, but the result was still a message that the phone was turned off.

His face grew darker and darker until he finally made a call to his own mother.

The result was also a message that the phone was turned off!

Fu Qiyuan, with a face so grim it seemed water could drip from it: "..."

Was this his own mother?

He had merely been a little harsh with his tone, yet she directly ran off with his wife!

Trying all means to sabotage their marital relationship, did she no longer want to hold a grandchild?

Qin Feng stood trembling at the side, head buried deep, unconsciously making his breathing as light as possible.

Kidnapping the daughter-in-law was something only his mistress could pull off!

"Qin Feng!"

The icy voice could freeze the entire office.

Qin Feng tensed up, "Present!"

"Find out!"

The two words, intimidating and allowing no room for argument, made Qin Feng’s hair stand on end.

He didn’t even need to ask what to look into and quickly answered, "Yes!"

Five minutes later, Qin Feng had investigated clearly and distinctly the hotel, floor, and specific room number where Su Ran and Tao Wanqing were staying.

Fu Qiyuan looked at the information in his hands, stood up, grabbed his car keys, and went directly to the hotel to nab them.

He indeed wanted to see what this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo were up to today!

-

After leaving the hotel, Chu Xiyao went straight to the Fu family’s residence.

It was still a bit early for dinner. Fu Qiyuan and Fu Qixiu were still at the company, and Old Master Fu was resting in his room.

Chu Xiyao did not go to disturb him, but instead headed directly to the kitchen.

Today, with that woman not around, was a great opportunity for her to showcase her culinary skills.

The thought of sitting down for a meal with Qi Yuan, Qi Xiu, and grandfather just like a family filled her heart with sweetness.

This was the life she had long yearned for and was finally about to realize.

She believed that after today, Qi Yuan would definitely notice her goodness.

And Su Ran, left alone in the couple’s suite, was ultimately the one being abandoned!

Ha, couple’s suite?

She might as well enjoy it all by herself!

Chu Xiyao had just entered the kitchen when she startled the servants who were busy at work.

Familiar with her, the Fu family’s staff hurried over to greet her.

Chu Xiyao smiled and nodded, "You all go about your tasks. Just leave a few people to assist me, that will do."

The crowd was shocked, "Please go out, Madam. The kitchen is full of smells, how can we let you do such a thing?"

Chu Xiyao smiled gently, "Today, it is rare for the family to gather for a meal, and I want to cook personally, it’s okay."

"But the Madam and the Eldest Young Madam have yet to return home, right? The Eldest Young Master has instructed that dinner in the kitchen should be prepared according to the Eldest Young Madam’s mood and taste for the day."

The smile on Chu Xiyao’s face faded slightly, "Oh, she won’t be coming back today, there’s no need to prepare her portion."

"This..."

Chu Xiyao turned her head to look at them calmly, her eyes filled with authority and pressure.

"What? Is what I say now not valid?"

"We wouldn’t dare!"

"Then go prepare."

The already busy servants became somewhat flustered, and a few who disliked Chu Xiyao’s air huddled together and murmured quietly.

"Pah, really thinks she’s the Fu family’s future Madam already?"

"A family? Who’s her family? I think she knows the Eldest Young Madam isn’t here, so she’s deliberately asserting her dominance!"

"What’s there to assert? If the Eldest Young Master liked her, wouldn’t they have been together for many years now?"

"Enough, don’t talk anymore. Miss Chu is highly favored by Old Master Fu. If she hears you gossiping about her, do you still want to work here?!"

"Hmph, who’s afraid of her!"

Although they said this, the group did not continue their whispering.

After all, the Fu family paid well, and no one truly wanted to leave.

By the time Chu Xiyao had finished preparing the meal with the help of the servants, dinner time had also arrived.

Old Master Fu came downstairs and saw Chu Xiyao bustling about, taking a hands-on approach.

The usually stern and severe face showed a touch of kindness, "Xiyao is back."

Chu Xiyao looked up and saw Old Master Fu coming down from upstairs.

"Grandfather, I made a lot of dishes you like today, I don’t know if they meet your taste."

Old Master Fu was surprised to see a table full of dishes.

"Did you make all these?"

"Mhmm."

Old Master Fu smiled, "Xiyao is becoming more and more virtuous."

Chu Xiyao blushed with the praise, "Grandfather, please don’t tease me."

As she spoke, she continued instructing the servants to arrange the plates, placing the dishes that Fu Qiyuan and Fu Qixiu liked right in front of their respective seats, naturally assuming the air of the Fu Family’s Madam!
