Jiang Che found it amusing to see the murderous aura still on Tan Yuqiu's face, and quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't worry, I've already taken care of things."
Tan Yuqiu frowned and said, "Don't be too gentle. They dare to bully your wife like this. If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll really think the Jiang family is easy to bully."
"Wife?" Upon hearing this title, Ye Zhao's gaze fell subtly on Tan Yuqiu, and then she looked at Jiang Che.
For some reason, Jiang Che was in a very good mood. He pulled Tan Yuqiu and said, "I know, I know. I'm not a soft-tempered person. Have you eaten? Let's go get something to eat together?"
Having dinner with her future mother-in-law? Ye Zhao suddenly felt a little nervous and instinctively wanted to refuse, but then she heard Tan Yuqiu look at her and say, "You haven't eaten either, have you? Let's all eat together?"
Under the gazes of the others, Ye Zhao nodded somewhat awkwardly: "Okay!"
And just like that, what was supposed to be a dinner for two people turned into a dinner for five.
After Jiang Ze learned that Yuanbao was also in the hospital, he said he hadn't seen him in a long time and shamelessly brought Yuanbao down from upstairs.
As soon as Xiao Yuanbao got on the bus, he greeted Jiang Che and Jiang Ze with a smile. His gaze fell on Tan Yuqiu, and before Jiang Che and Ye Zhao could speak, Xiao Yuanbao waved and said with a smile, "Hello! Pretty auntie!"
Tan Yuqiu had just been smirking at him, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you calling me 'Auntie'? You have to call me 'Grandma'."
"Grandma?" Little Yuanbao turned to look at Ye Zhao with a puzzled expression.
Ye Zhao patted his head and explained, "This is Uncle Che and Uncle Ze's mother. You should call her Grandma, baby."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanbao turned to look at Tan Yuqiu and sweetly greeted her, "Hello, Grandma!"
"Oh! Good boy!" Tan Yuqiu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She reached out and touched his head. Feeling the soft, fluffy hair under her hand and seeing Xiao Yuanbao's bright eyes, her heart almost melted, but she only had a faint smile on her face.
Jiang Che saw this and smiled with satisfaction, then reached out and squeezed Ye Zhao's hand.
With Xiao Yuanbao and Jiang Ze around, the mealtime was quite lively.
Little Yuanbao was picking at a piece of braised pork, his little face puffed out, and his expression was very satisfied.
Jiang Ze scoffed when he saw this, saying, "Eating meat every day, aren't you worried about growing into a big fat man?"
Tan Yuqiu frowned, about to say something to him, when she heard Yuanbao's childish voice say, "I'm still little. I need to eat some meat to grow. Uncle Aze is an adult. If he eats meat, he'll grow into a big fat man!"
Ye Zhao and Jiang Che smiled but didn't say anything.
Seeing that they seemed unsurprised, Tan Yuqiu didn't interrupt.
Jiang Ze raised his hand, tilted his chin up, and said, "Do I look fat?"
Little Yuanbao shook his head and said seriously, "Not fat, but stupid."
Tan Yuqiu smiled and ate her meal in silence.
Jiang Ze rolled his eyes and said, "How old are you? Do you even know what stupidity is? You're just talking nonsense."
Little Yuanbao was diligently eating his rice when he heard this, and shook his head: "I don't know, I was just making things up."
Jiang Ze: "..."
Little Yuanbao glanced at him, then turned and whispered to Ye Zhao, "Mom, did Uncle Aze get beaten silly today?"
Ye Zhao couldn't help but laugh. Upon hearing this, she simply put a piece of meat on his plate, but Tan Yuqiu's smile became even more pronounced.
Jiang Ze curled his lip and said, "What do you mean by being beaten? I took on four opponents by myself today!"
Xiao Yuanbao glanced at Jiang Ze's arm, then turned to Jiang Che and said, "Uncle Che, I don't think lying is a good thing."
Jiang Che smiled and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Little Yuanbao said earnestly, "You're Uncle Aze's older brother, you have to teach him. How can one person fight against four others, especially with his arms so thin..."
As he spoke, his tone became somewhat disdainful.
Jiang Ze retorted with displeasure, "Hey, little brat, who are you calling skinny-armed?"
Little Yuanbao blinked and said, "I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
Tan Yuqiu was amused by his serious expression, and her smile grew even brighter as she praised, "This child is really smart!"
Little Yuanbao climbed up the pole with a happy expression and said, "Thank you, Grandma!"
Jiang Ze: "..." The world where only he was injured has been achieved.
The meal went exceptionally well, and on the way back, Jiang Ze couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? Zhao Zhao was great, wasn't she?"
Tan Yuqiu glanced at him and said, "No matter how good she is, she's still your sister-in-law. What's it to you?"
Jiang Ze retorted, "How can it not concern me? We'll be family from now on. It would be great if I could find a sister-in-law I could get along with!"
Tan Yuqiu didn't speak again. She was thinking that Ye Zhao had indeed changed a lot in the past few years. It wasn't the kind of change that could be faked, but rather that she was a completely different person. She looked like a completely different person from before. She had a quiet and elegant temperament and spoke in a soft voice. Especially when it came to teaching children, how did she raise such smart children? She wished Yuanbao were her grandson.
Tan Yuqiu sighed, then thought, if Ye Zhao married into the Jiang family, wouldn't Yuanbao be her grandson? Anyway, Shen Jiachen's parents were long gone, A-Che could be considered a stepfather, but she couldn't be considered a stepmother...
Jiang Che was unaware of her ulterior motives. He had just dropped Ye Zhao and her son off at the hotel, and because of the child, neither of them did anything out of line.
Ye Zhao didn't stay in City A for more than a few days. After glancing at Ye Feng, she returned to Shangyang, leaving Yuanbao with Chen Du.
Time flies, and it was already the end of December. Jiang Che was getting busier and busier, sometimes not even having time to reply to messages, but their relationship remained stable. So one day at the Jiang family dinner table, Tan Yuqiu suddenly asked, "When are you and Ye Zhao getting married?"
Jiang Che choked on his milk. He thought his mother needed more time to accept Ye Zhao, but he didn't expect that she was already thinking about their marriage.
"Isn't it a bit early to talk about this now? Besides, I've been too busy lately."
Tan Yuqiu nodded and said, "That's true, but it's time to put it on the agenda. We can't keep the young lady waiting for you."
Jiang Che was speechless. Was it possible that he was waiting for Ye Zhao?
Tan Yuqiu's words stirred his thoughts, and he couldn't help but imagine life after marrying Ye Zhao, a smile appearing on his lips.
As winter deepened in City A, snow began to fall heavily. Ye Zhao took several different buses before finally arriving in City A.
This trip wasn't just to pick up Yuanbao and take him home for the New Year, but also to meet Jiang Che.
But to everyone's surprise, Tan Yuqiu called her directly after learning that she was coming, inviting her and Yuanbao to spend New Year's Day at the Jiang family's house.
Therefore, Jiang Che said to her, "My mother probably wants to spend more time with you. If you don't want to come, I'll refuse..."
