Chapter 12 Getting a Certificate

He even teased her in a leisurely voice, "After we get the marriage certificate, let's go buy some wedding candy and share some with the boss lady. We can even get a discount on dinner tomorrow."

It was the first time that Jiang Yining saw He Chi like this, with a bit of ruffian look. Although she knew that he did it on purpose, she couldn't get angry at him.

She managed to remain calm and said, "That might be more than just a discount. The boss lady will probably treat me to a meal and let me give a lecture to her daughter."

Seeing that He Chi seemed puzzled, Jiang Yining mentioned, "The boss lady has a daughter who is two years older than me and is still single."

He Chi laughed. It wasn't that he found Jiang Yining's words funny, but that she was obviously still shy but pretending to be calm.

He hadn't spent much time with Jiang Yining, but he understood her a little better than before. She seemed introverted and gentle, but she was a very opinionated person.

Also easily shy.

He Chi had previously thought that Jiang Yining was afraid of him, but he probably misunderstood.

After dinner, He Chi and Jiang Yining walked back. He Xiaohui was still waiting for him in the car.

Before getting in the car, He Chi asked, "What time would be a good time for me to pick you up tomorrow morning?"

He made an appointment in the morning.

Jiang Yining: "About 8:30."

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Jiang Yining watched He Chi's car leave before entering the residential complex. He had raised He Xiaohui for a few days, and now that it was gone, Jiang Yining suddenly felt empty inside.

When I got home, Zhang Qiao had just returned from get off work. She looked around and asked, "Has the little fat cat been sent away?"

"Well, He Chi just took it away."

Zhang Qiao hooked her finger at Jiang Yining, "Ningning, come here."

Seeing her mysterious look, Jiang Yining couldn't guess what Zhang Qiao was going to do, so he sat down on the sofa as she requested.

Zhang Qiao took out a small gift box from her bag. Inside was an exquisite platinum diamond necklace. She put it on Jiang Yining and said, "This is a gift for you to get your marriage certificate."

After putting it on, Jiang Yining looked down and said with a smile, "This isn't cheap, I'm a little embarrassed to accept it."

Zhang Qiao groaned, "Why are you embarrassed to tell me this? Besides, it's just a necklace. I can still afford it, sister."

"Ningning." Somehow, Zhang Qiao felt a little sad. "I didn't expect you to get married so soon. I always felt that we could live together for a few more years."

"Leave some clothes and quilts behind when you move. I'll keep this room for you. If He Chi treats you badly in the future, you can move back. You'll always have your room here."

Jiang Yining was originally very happy to receive the gift, but after hearing what Zhang Qiao said, tears welled up in her eyes.

"No, you can rent it out again. You'll have a companion and can help share some of the mortgage debt."

Zhang Qiao shook her head. "I won't rent it out. I have to accommodate strangers when they move in. I'm not like you. Besides, I don't need this little money."

She didn't want to take Jiang Yining's money before, but if she didn't, given Jiang Yining's personality, she would definitely feel bad.

Zhang Qiao's salary is higher than Jiang Yining's, and she has support and subsidies from her parents, so she has no shortage of money at all.

Jiang Yining no longer mentioned asking her to rent out the room. She looked at Zhang Qiao gratefully and said, "Qiaoqiao, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me?" Zhang Qiao stood up. "I'm going to take a shower and rest first. I really don't want to go to this crappy class for a single day."

Listening to Zhang Qiao's complaints for who knows how many times, Jiang Yining chuckled, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

She was also reluctant to move away.

The next morning, Jiang Yining got up and put on makeup, and finally put on the newly bought white shirt. Before going out, she checked her household registration book and ID card.

Jiang Yining is registered under the same household registration as her mother, and He Chi was also moved out of the family's household registration book a few years ago.

The two of them had all the necessary documents and received their marriage certificate smoothly. After coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jiang Yining looked at the red book in his hand and hadn't realized yet that he had become a married person.

He Chi handed his copy to Jiang Yining. When she looked up, He Chi smiled faintly and said, "I'll keep it for you."

Jiang Yining curled his lips, "Okay."

The two of them had just gotten into the car, and before He Chi started the car, he received a call from his mother.

The moment the call was connected, Lin Shu asked directly, "He Chi, did you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate?"

Teacher Lin is so powerful. When these words came out, He Chi and Jiang Yining stared at each other in surprise.

He Chi sighed and held his forehead. He didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it directly either. "Mom, where did you hear that?"

"Your Aunt Wang said she saw you at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

He Chi couldn't remember which Aunt Wang it was for a moment. His mother had a lot of classmates and friends, and several of them were surnamed Wang.

He asked in a rude tone, "Aunt Wang, are you getting a divorce or a second marriage?"

Teacher Lin almost lost his temper, "She works at the Civil Affairs Bureau!"

No wonder.

"He Chi, don't change the subject. Did you go get the marriage certificate?"

This time, He Chi admitted it directly, "Yes."

Hearing this, Teacher Lin's voice was calm, but with a hint of coldness, "Come back home, right now, right now."

Before hanging up, she specifically reminded you, "You reply yourself."

Jiang Yining didn't dare to breathe. It was the first time she saw the usually gentle teacher Lin get angry.

He Chi looked at her and said with a smile, "Are you scared already?"

Jiang Yining shrank his neck, not daring to act tough at this moment, "A little bit."

"I'll take you back to your friend's house first. I'll come find you after I finish dealing with Teacher Lin."

Jiang Yining shook her head. "I'll go back with you." She smiled sheepishly. "After all, it was me who suggested this act of execution first and reporting later."

Before He Chi could reject her proposal, Jiang Yining said, "If I go back with you, it will be bad for Teacher Lin..."

Jiang Yining didn't say the words "beat you", but seeing her hesitant look, He Chi already understood.

The man smiled but did not refuse.

But He Chi reminded him, "Just stand by and put all the responsibility on me when you get back."

After saying that, He Chi turned his eyes to Jiang Yining and raised his lips, "After all, I'm used to being beaten by Teacher Lin, so it's not a big deal."

Jiang Yining: “…”

This guy is in a critical situation and still has the mood to joke.

Here, after Lin Shu hung up the phone, He Yuwen asked her, "Why don't you let He Chi bring his daughter-in-law back?"

"You brought it back and wanted them to laugh at you the first time they came to your house, right?"

The couple both understood that they had no choice but to accept the situation. Sadly, even though their son had obtained the marriage certificate, they still didn't know who their daughter-in-law was.

After Lin Shu said this, he searched the whole room for something.

He Yuwen asked her puzzledly, "What are you looking for?"

Lin Shu entered the kitchen and searched everywhere, "Where's the rolling pin?"

"What do you want a rolling pin for?"

Lin Shu looked at him speechlessly, "Of course he's beating people up. Are you going to roll noodles to greet him?"

"You've spoiled your son, making him act recklessly. He didn't even discuss something as big as marriage with his family first. What will the woman think of our family?"

He Yuwen did not side with He Chi this time. This kid did something wrong.

"I'll help you look for it."

While Lin Shu was still looking for a rolling pin in the kitchen, He Yuwen quickly went to the balcony and hid the rolling pin that he had washed and placed on the balcony to dry yesterday.

He searched around and finally gave the feather duster to Teacher Lin. "If you can't find a rolling pin, use this. It's convenient."
