Chapter 318: Chapter 315: Suddenly a Grandma
Aunt Shen felt completely flustered at this moment. Was that āWuhu~ā serious?
The three of them were sitting on the sofa, looking at each other in bewilderment. Su Qing had a headache while looking at her mom Zhou Hui, who was excitedly eyeing Shen Yi, and occasionally glancing at Shen Yiās belly.
As for Aunt Shen, she was sitting upright on the other end of the sofa like a quail, clutching the hem of her clothes, sometimes tidying up her clothes or smoothing her hair without saying a word, her head lowered.
The blush on her face never faded, and most importantly, the look in her eyes was filled with unease and more so, a kind of nervousness.
She had already figured out the identity of the woman before her. Although she looked quite young and her aura was lively, she was indeed Su Qingās mother.
However, Zhou Hui didnāt seem like a mom at all; her aura was too vivacious, apparently very enthusiastic.
Especially under her gaze, Shen Yi felt slightly embarrassed.
She had imagined meeting her boyfriendās parents one day, but the current situation was really beyond her expectations.
She was in her pajamas, hair all messy, and hadnāt washed her face. Who meets the parents for the first time looking so embarrassing? Itās really disrespectful.
Itās said that the first impression when meeting the parents is extremely important, so was she starting off in hell this time? She had no gifts, her image was not good, and she felt so embarrassing.
Thinking about this, Shen Yi couldnāt help but press her feet to the floor, lucky that the floor was hard enough, otherwise sheād have them sunk into the ground.
However, she didnāt realize that her current state was perfect for Zhou Hui. Zhou Hui was secretly annoyed about coming at the wrong time today, interrupting her sonās success, fearing missing this chance to hold a grandchild would be a huge sin.
Her son and a young lady were in one room, both with disheveled clothes. Zhou Hui honestly couldnāt imagine anything else they could be doing alone together; it was 100% about making a baby.
Initially, her instinct was to retreat, close the door, and let them continue. If the circumstances had allowed it, sheād definitely add, "Son, go on, just pretend I wasnāt here!"
Despite only glancing, Zhou Hui clearly saw Shen Yiās figure and appearance, even without makeup and just in pajamas. She was a great beauty. No wonder her son didnāt fancy those she introduced.
To have landed such a pretty girlfriend, her son was indeed promising, wasnāt he? Unable to contain her joy after closing the door, she called her husband.
As expected, old Su on the other end was probably completely dumbfounded, wondering how her son suddenly became promising and why they were talking about being grandparents.
The three sat down in silence for a long time, with Su Qing looking at his mom, his mom looking at Shen Yi, and Shen Yi feeling Zhou Huiās intense gaze, occasionally glancing at Su Qing.
The three oddly achieved an exquisite balance. They say a triangle is the most stable shape, and it couldnāt be more true.
After a long time, seeing Shen Yi looking almost uncomfortable enough to bolt out the door as if she were sitting on thorns, Su Qing spoke up:
"Mom, why are you here?"
"What? I canāt come? Of course, to see how youāre doing, whether your house is a mess like a dogās den. Now it seems... Not bad, it must be all thanks to the girl!" Zhou Hui glared at him and continued to look at Shen Yi with a kindly aunt-like smile.
Against this, Su Qing could only roll his eyes inwardly. Look at that, is this even a mom?
As the saying goes, nothing knows a mother better than her child. He knew exactly what his mom was thinking; he didnāt need to think to know she imagined a 30-episode romantic comedy upon seeing him and Shen Yi alone and disheveled in one room.
Given more time, imagining an 80-episode family drama wouldnāt be a problem. She might even have decided on her grandchildās name already, already planning how to get along with her daughter-in-law without being annoying and how to maintain good relations with the in-laws.
Besides, itās him who cleaned the house each time; what did Shen Yi care about? She wouldnāt even tidy her own place, leaving garbage in his and making him clean. Her fridge was empty, yet itās credited to her? Itās nonsense!
Your son loves cleanliness, okay, unlike Wang Xing.
However, he couldnāt do anything about it; he couldnāt possibly explain it to his mom, considering the situation. Truth is, he knew that whatever Shen Yi said was right and whatever he did was wrong.
Given that, he just let it go, introducing both of them:
"Mom, this is my boss and neighbor, Shen Yi. She lives next door!"
"This is my mom!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi immediately stood up, nervously intertwining her hands and stammering: "Ah... Auntie, hello, Iām Shen Yi. I just live next door to him and came over to call him for dinner!"
Seeing this, Zhou Hui suddenly displayed a seemingly kind yet actually aunt-like smile, pulling Shen Yiās hand to sit beside her:
"Oh my, no need to be so polite. Sit, sit; youāre that bratās boss, Shen Yi! Oh wow, youāre so pretty. He has mentioned you several times. Iāve finally met you. If my son ever does anything wrong, donāt mind him. If he makes you angry, tell Auntie, Iāll fix him for you.
Donāt worry, Auntie might be old, but Iām very open-minded. Young people, itās normal, normal!"
While speaking, Zhou Hui held Shen Yiās hand, a perfect scene of elder care.
Shen Yi was feeling awkward too. She, being smart, understood what Zhou Hui meant. Despite feeling pleased not being disliked, the first meetingās awkwardness couldnāt be shaken off; most importantly, she and Su Qing werenāt quite at the level Zhou Hui envisioned.
"Auntie overpraises, Su Qing... his performance is quite good. Recently he helped me a lot." Shen Yi said.
"Really? Then thatās good, as long as heās helpful. I was worried heād be useless in everything. Anyway, have you eaten yet?" Zhou Hui asked.
It was already ten in the morning; the sun was up. But thinking they were young people, maybe they worked out earlier, she accepted it, reasoning her grandson wouldnāt be born without oversleeping.
Upon hearing, Shen Yi blushed and nodded: "Today the company is off, so I got up a bit late."
To this, Zhou Hui waved generously: "No problem, wait here, Auntie will make you two a meal! Relax and take a rest, donāt tire yourself!"
Saying this, she couldnāt help but gently rub Shen Yiās belly.
Shen Yi became completely stiff.
Yet Zhou Hui was oblivious, stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and headed to the kitchen, calling, "Son, what do you have in the house now? Mom will make something nice!"
"No!"
"No need, Auntie!"
Upon hearing this, the two quickly stood up to stop her. Shen Yi felt embarrassed because itās awkward to have an elder cook the first time they meet.
While Su Qing knew his motherās cooking prowess; if she cooked, both he and Shen Yi would surely be taking a day trip to the hospital.
"Ah, donāt worry. Youāre still growing, young people need good food!" Zhou Hui said.
"Auntie, I made porridge." Shen Yi said.
"Porridge? Just porridge? No, no, not enough, especially for you. Just porridge wonāt cut it; you need nutritious food. Right, Iāll call his dad to make food; his dadās cooking is delicious!" Zhou Hui said.
Su Qing: ...
Shen Yi: ...
Young people grow, needing nutritious food. Was this meal for them? Itās likely for the yet-to-exist grandson in Shen Yiās belly, no?
Most importantly, involving old Su too, itās just grandstanding; he couldnāt imagine old Suās reaction if he came.
Just as Zhou Hui planned to showcase her nonexistent grandsonās meal, Su Qingās mind resounded with narration.
[Rebellious Mom didnāt see her grandchild, but the granddaughter came first. Congratulations, Rebellious Mom, for being a surprise granny!] Su Qing: ...
Heād heard of being a surprise dad, but surprise granny...
His gaze immediately shifted to the door; he knew precisely what the narration hinted. He wasnāt sure if his mom, at her age, could handle the surprise!
"What to do, quickly think of something!" Shen Yi poked him in the waist and whispered; she felt helpless too at the moment.
At this instant, knocks sounded on the door.
"Who is it?" Zhou Hui asked.
Upon hearing, Su Qing smiled and briskly went to open the door.
The next moment.
"Good morning, Su Dad!"
Upon hearing, Su Qing smiled slightly, holding the little girl and pointing to his mom Zhou Hui saying:
"Call her Grandma!"
Zhou Hui: Ī£(āā½ā"
