Liang Qian was completely confused by Mei Lang Jun at this moment and found herself agreeing with her sonās reasoning. She was just thinking about having two twins.
She didnāt even know what her son whispered in her ear, and then she subconsciously nodded.
"Mom, youāre the best. I knew you would be a great mother-in-law. In the future, Iāll make sure your daughter-in-law treats you well. Iāve been driving all day, Iām tired, Iām going to sleep first."
"Hey, hey... what did I agree to" Liang Qian was utterly baffled by her son, watching him run faster than a rabbit, and she raised her hand in a panic to call him.
But her son didnāt give her a chance, so Liang Qian turned to Mei Shuqing and asked, "What did he just say? Whatās with this child?"
"He said he wants to marry Tao Jia, and you agreed."
"When did I agree?"
"Didnāt you just nod yourself?"
"I was being swayed by him. I say, you too, why did you let him have his way?"
"You know your son well; heās been thinking about her for a year or two. Since he likes her, letās not get in the way. As long as heās happy, thatās enough. Besides, Tao Jia is indeed a great girl. Forget about the past, donāt mind worldly matters. As long as weāre happy ourselves.
Spend some time talking to Tao Jiaās mom, get close. The kidās not young anymore, you want grandchildren, and Iām anxious too."
"You... you all... hey."
"Someday Iāll talk to Old Tao. Junzi isnāt Xiao Chi. I donāt believe he wonāt approve."
"Come on, he cherishes his daughter so much. Last time, Xiao Chi did that thing, even after the divorce he retaliated and got him incarcerated. You talk to him, if he doesnāt hit you, heās already giving you face."
"Xiao Chi made the mistake himself, canāt blame others. Besides, if he wants to fight, then letās have a fight. Iām not afraid of him."
"With your old arms and legs, without bringing back a daughter-in-law, donāt get yourself beaten up." Liang Qian glanced at him, comparing him to Tao Jiaās father, itās hard to say who would win in a fight. But the Tao Family has quite a few sons.
Mei Lang Jun listened to his parentsā conversation upstairs, and a weight finally lifted off his heart. His dad still understood him best.
With his dadās support, his relationship with Tao Jia moved forward again.
...
Mei Lang Jun had a good nightās sleep, but Liang Qian thought about her sonās matter all night and woke up with panda eyes the next day. Thereās a banquet tonight, she canāt look like this.
She made breakfast for the father and son in the morning and then went back to her room to catch up on sleep.
After breakfast, Mei Lang Jun went with his dad to the old house, as many distinguished guests would be visiting in the morning. They had to go and socialize a bit.
Around nine oāclock Old Mei led his sons and grandsons to entertain the guests.
Lin Wan stayed upstairs and never came down, letting Little Star draw in the room while she washed clothes from the past few days.
The household aunt didnāt come today, so lunch would become a matter of pushing off responsibilities. Lin Wan decided to take Little Star to visit her godmother after doing the laundry.
She would make delicious food for her godmother at noon but would not make food for the women of the Mei Family.
"Mom, Mom, look what I found?" Little Star ran out at some unknown time, her hands dirty with mud, holding something sparkly in a little lump of mud, looking like glass shards.
"Where did you go, getting yourself so dirty" Lin Wan quickly washed the child.
"I was drawing little flowers on the balcony, but this thing kept poking my eyes and delaying my flower drawing. I had no choice but to take it out. Mom, itās very beautiful, itās crystal."
After Lin Wan washed her little hands, the crystal in Little Starās hand was revealed.
Afraid it might be glass shards, Lin Wan quickly picked it up to inspect it, and she was surprised. It was obviously a diamond.
But if itās a diamond, it wouldnāt be in the balconyās flower pot, who would be so silly to throw it there.
Lin Wan didnāt pay attention to it, thinking it was fake glass. Seeing there were no sharp parts, she handed the diamond back to Little Star.
"Go play with it, but donāt put it in your mouth, alright?"
"Hmm, Mom, can I draw this little glass?" Since Mom said itās glass shards, Little Star thought it was.
"Sure, do you know how to color this shine?"
Little Star shook her head.
"Go draw first, Iāll call you later, okay?"
"Okay, Iāll wait for you, Mom"
...
Lin Wan finished washing the clothes, hung them on the balcony, and after drawing with Little Star for a while, she locked their room and went downstairs.
