Chapter 1020: 243: Yangyang got angry

Ni Yang watched Ni Cuihua’s figure, her thoughts deepening.

Today was Saturday, and during dinner, Shangguan Xu and Shangguan Xi came back.

Ni Cuihua, after an afternoon of rest, was in much better spirits and looked at Shangguan Xi, “Xiaoxi, how are things going with you and Zuo Ling?”

Shangguan Xi was her daughter too, and she couldn’t neglect her just because of the issues with Wu Yanyun.

Considering Zuo Ling’s family situation, if Shangguan Xi really married into it, the tough days would be yet to come.

Shangguan Xi smiled and said, “My relationship with Zuo Ling is very stable, and we’ve cleared up the misunderstanding from last time. Actually, it’s not true that his family prefers boys over girls; after all, Zuo Ling is a college graduate, his level of thinking and awareness aren’t that low. Mom, you can rest assured.”

“Really?” Ni Cuihua was somewhat doubtful.

She always felt that there was more to the situation.

“Really!” Shangguan Xi nodded her head.

Shangguan Dehui continued, “You are just too stubborn, child. You won’t learn your lesson until you face some hardships.”

Shangguan Xi said with a laugh, “As long as Zuo Ling is not that type of person, everyone can stop worrying!”

Shangguan Granny helplessly shook her head, her eyes filled with concern.

So alike!

The child was just too much like Xu Fen.

Sometimes, the more you try to persuade, the more counterproductive it becomes.

Shangguan Xu looked at Shangguan Xi, “Do you know that Chen Jun has come back?”

“Yes,” Shangguan Xi nodded her head, “He even gave me a ride to my unit the day before yesterday morning.”

Shangguan Xu joked, “Chen Jun graduated from a famous university abroad, and I see that he cares about you quite a bit. Being with him would surely be better than being with Zuo Ling.”

“Phew!” Shangguan Xi spit out a mouthful of rice and couldn’t stop coughing.

Ni Cuihua quickly grabbed a tissue and handed it to Shangguan Xi, patting her back, “Slow down, slow down…”

Shangguan Xi casually wiped her mouth and looked at Shangguan Xu with an expression of disbelief, “Brother, what are you joking about! Wu Lao San and I, it’s impossible!”

Shangguan Xu said calmly, “How do you know it’s impossible without trying? When it comes to family background, looks, and capability, he is at least a hundred times better than Zuo Ling.”

Compared with Wu Chenjun, what was Zuo Ling?

It was Shangguan Xi’s lack of judgment that made her fancy someone like Zuo Ling.

“Brother, brother, please stop,” an uncomfortable Shangguan Xi said, “Wu Lao San and I grew up together like close buddies. Can buddies become partners? Don’t try to matchmake randomly!”

Shangguan Xu picked up a piece of Braised Pork, “If you really have no thoughts about it, just ignore what I said. But if you end up with Zuo Ling and suffer in their family, don’t come crying to me!”

Shangguan Xi laughed, “Don’t worry, bro. I guarantee I won’t come crying to you!”

Shangguan Xu didn’t say anything more.

Shangguan Xi then said, “By the way, Mom and Dad, I plan to visit Zuo Ling’s parents this week.”

Ni Cuihua was startled, “This quickly!”

If both sets of parents had met, engagement wouldn’t be far off.

Shangguan Dehui looked at Shangguan Xi, “Xiaoxi, are you sure about this?”

“Yes, I’ve thought it through,” Shangguan Xi replied, “Sooner or later we have to meet the parents, it’s better earlier than later.”

Ni Cuihua frowned and then said, “Xiaoxi, don’t tell Zuo Ling’s parents about our family’s true situation when you go this time. As for gifts, there’s no need for anything too expensive, just buy some fruit, bring a couple pounds of meat, and two pounds of brown sugar.”

“Ah? Isn’t that too shabby?” Shangguan Xi was taken aback.

Shangguan Xi was originally planning to bring a box of ginseng from Changbai Mountain.

Shangguan Dehui put down his chopsticks, “I think your mother is right, Zuo Ling’s family situation is too complex. If you bring expensive gifts on your first visit, you might not see their true colors.”

“Alright,” Shangguan Xi nodded, “I’ll listen to you.”

Shangguan Xi was stubborn when it came to emotional matters, but she would still take her parents’ advice on some things.

After all, her parents were looking out for her best interests.

After dinner, Grandma Zheng found Ni Cuihua, “Tingting, did you go to see Yanyun again today?”

Ni Cuihua responded with surprise, “Mom, how did you find out?”

Grandma Zheng said, “I could tell something was wrong with you this afternoon, is Yanyun still unwilling to forgive us?”

Ni Cuihua nodded her head.

Grandma Zheng sighed, “Maybe you just don’t have that mother-daughter fate with her…”
