BXBX NOVEL Chapter 344 - Daughter-in-law Meeting Her In-laws
Chapter 344: Daughter-in-law Meeting Her In-laws
“How come I don’t know?” Elder Xu walked to his office and called Wei Shuyi.
When the phone rang, Wei Shuyi was making breakfast in the kitchen.
He was only wearing pants and no clothes. His hands held a piece of meat as he weighed it.
Jiaren Wu found his phone in the corner of the sofa and shouted at Wei Shuyi, “Brother Wei, your phone is ringing. The caller is Teacher Xu.” Jiaren Wu was very willful. Today, she called Wei Shuyi Brother Wei, and tomorrow, she would call him Teacher Wei. If she had any bad intentions, she would call him Hubby regardless of the venue.
At the start, Wei Shuyi would frown whenever she called him that. Now, he had gotten used to it.
Hearing her shout, he turned around, revealing his naked upper body.
It was probably because he had been humiliated by Jiaren Wu a month ago. For the past month, he had been working out well. The muscles in his abdomen had become even more defined and beautiful. When he turned around, Jiaren Wu stared at his abdomen.
“Bring it here,” he said, then picked up the knife and began to slice the meat.
Jiaren Wu shuffled over in her slippers. She picked up the phone and handed it to him.
“Shuyi, Old Chen and I are going to rest tomorrow. Your junior brother said that you have a girlfriend. From his tone, it seems like you guys are very serious…”
Wei Shuyi immediately corrected him, “Yes, we’re talking about it, but we don’t intend to rush.”
Elder Xu exclaimed, “Why are you so shy? Aren’t young people like this nowadays? People even cohabit before marriage and have children. I’m not that old antique like your father. Why would I dislike this?”
Wei Shuyi was speechless.
Aren’t you afraid that my dad, that old antique, will jump out of his coffin and beat you up?
“I want to say, look, if you and that girl are sincere about getting together, do you want to bring her here so that she can meet Old Chen and me?” Elder Xu didn’t hear Wei Shuyi’s reply and thought that he was thinking about it, so he said, “Old Chen and I watched you grow up. Your parents are no longer around, so we can be considered your family. Bringing a girl here to meet us is a formality, don’t you think?”
Jiaren Wu did not hear their conversation. Her hands were moving around.
Wei Shuyi had no choice but to push her away. He pressed her head with one hand and calmed himself down before saying, “Sure, tomorrow?” His voice sounded calm, but Elder Xu felt that his voice was a little hoarse.
“Xiao Yi, do you have a cold? Is your throat hoarse?”
Wei Shuyi was speechless.
When he saw Jiaren Wu’s sly smile, he glared at her before saying to Elder Xu, “I do feel a little uncomfortable.”
“Then let’s meet tomorrow. Are we going to your house or Teacher Chen’s?”
Elder Xu said, “I’ll discuss this with Elder Chen. I’ll inform you once we’ve discussed it.”
“Okay.”
The call finally ended.
Wei Shuyi turned around and grabbed Jiaren Wu’s hand, saying, “Do you know who Elder Xu is?”
“I know. He’s your teacher.” When Zhang Yang had gotten into trouble last time, the head nurse had said that Wei Shuyi was Elder Xu’s and Elder Chen’s disciple.
Wei Shuyi nodded. “You guessed right.” He asked again, “Do you know what Elder Xu was saying to me just now?”
“What?”
He said, “He’s inviting you to his house.”
Jiaren Wu’s expression changed slightly. “What do you mean?”?That’s not what I think it is, is it?
Wei Shuyi could tell that she had guessed the meaning of the call.
He let go of her hand and tidied the hair beside Jiaren Wu’s face. He said to her, “They are considered my family. They asked me to bring you to meet them. It’s the same as a daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws.”
Jiaren Wu was completely flustered.
“Huh?” she asked hurriedly. “Doesn’t he already know what I did just now?”
“Yeah.”
Jiaren Wu thought to herself, “This is bad, this is bad. If I’m so indecent, will Old Xu and Old Chen despise me?”
Jiaren Wu was no longer in the mood for breakfast.
On this day, she was on tenterhooks. One moment, she would look in the mirror to see if she was still as beautiful as a flower or a little fairy. The next moment, she would run to wash her hair and say that she wanted to appear clean in front of them. The next moment, she would run to the cabinet to see if there were any suitable clothes.
In short, she was busy and in a frenzy.
Wei Shuyi sat on the sofa and watched her fret.
“It’s over, it’s over.” Jiaren Wu looked at the wardrobe full of revealing clothes and sexy dresses and felt like crying. “The only decent clothes I have is my police uniform! I can’t wear the police uniform to meet my in-laws!”
She was there to meet her in-laws, not to catch bad people.
Wei Shuyi was washing rice and preparing lunch.
Jiaren Wu rushed out of the bedroom with her bag in her hand. She ran into the kitchen and snatched the rice cooker from Wei Shuyi’s hands. “Stop cooking.”
Wei Shuyi looked at her in surprise. “What’s wrong?”
“Let’s go shopping and buy some clothes.” Jiaren Wu held his hand and walked out of the door.
Wei Shuyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “It’s lunchtime now. Do you want to eat before going shopping?”
“No way!”
Jiaren Wu insisted on buying clothes first.
Wei Shuyi indulged her.
Wei Shuyi was used to Jiaren Wu chattering non-stop, so he was quite surprised that she didn’t say anything. He tilted his head and saw that she was using Baidu to search for something. He had to focus on driving and couldn’t look closely, so he asked her, “What are you searching for?”
“What kind of clothes are suitable for meeting the parents…” Jiaren Wu said without looking up.
Wei Shuyi was stunned. He wanted to say something to her but couldn’t bear to.
“You look good, and you look good no matter what you wear. Don’t be nervous.” Normally, when Jiaren Wu heard Wei Shuyi’s words, she would have jumped up in joy.
But today, after hearing Wei Shuyi’s words, she pouted and blew a few strands of hair from her forehead. “How can I not be nervous?” As she saw Wei Shuyi look over at her, her face fell, and she said, “They are your elders.”
She wanted to say, “I think tomorrow’s meeting is more important than anything else because they are your elders.”
Wei Shuyi immediately understood Jiaren Wu’s intentions.
The importance that Jiaren Wu placed on the next day’s matter represented how much she loved Wei Shuyi.
Wei Shuyi felt that what she did was sweet. He couldn’t help but cover his mouth, not wanting Jiaren Wu to see his smile.
Jiaren Wu searched for a solution on Baidu the entire car ride. When she reached the mall, she still couldn’t find a satisfactory answer. Those answers she read were vague and weren’t good as references.
The mall had countless clothing stores selling women’s clothing. It was already summer, and the brands’ new summer clothes were on sale. In the display window, there were all kinds of dresses and matching sets.
Jiaren Wu felt that a certain color was too eye-catching. Then, she felt that one design was too cute, one design was not dignified enough, and one design was too revealing.
In the end, Jiaren Wu gave up.
Wei Shuyi joked with her. “Why don’t I give up on medicine and study design now? I can be your designer in the future.”
Ignoring his teasing, Jiaren Wu took him into another store.
After entering the store, Jiaren Wu sat on the sofa and said to the salesperson, “I’m going to meet my boyfriend’s parents tomorrow. Please help me pick out a suitable dress.”
The sales assistant smiled as she sized up Jiaren Wu and Wei Shuyi. She praised them for being a good match, causing Jiaren Wu to burst with joy. In the end, the sales assistant picked out an apricot-colored sleeveless, long pleated dress for Jiaren Wu. The top half of the dress was designed to look like a shirt, and when worn on her, it made her look cute and charming.
After changing into the dress, Jiaren Wu walked to the mirror and examined herself. She felt a little awkward.
Wei Shuyi’s eyes lit up. He was used to seeing all sorts of Jiaren Wu’s flirtatious clothes, but this was the first time he saw her dressed in such a cute and playful manner.
“It looks good.”
Hearing Wei Shuyi’s praise, Jiaren Wu decided to buy it.
The next day, Jiaren Wu dawdled at home for a long time before walking out of her room. She was wearing the new dress she had bought yesterday, a beige shoulder bag, and a pair of flat white sandals.
Wei Shuyi’s gaze landed on her flats and her tied up hair.
After he had admired her enough, Wei Shuyi said, “Actually, you don’t have to do this.”
Seeing that Jiaren Wu was staring at him in confusion and waiting for him to explain, Wei Shuyi said, “It’s useless for you to dress so obediently now. Sooner or later, your true colors will be revealed. At that time, everyone will know whether you are a mule or a horse.”
