After work, Jiang Wanning received a call from Duan Chengming, "Wanning, Mom asked us to go home for dinner. Do you have time?"
Jiang Wanning frowned, but before she could speak, Duan Chengming said, "Second Aunt is here too."
Jiang Wanning sighed and replied, "Okay, I'll be back later." Then she hung up the phone, sent a message to Su Manqing, and then walked towards the subway.
Duan Chengming's parents live in a residential complex in the center of the district. In the early years, housing prices were very high. Duan Chengming's parents both worked in the district government and had good salaries, so they bought a house early.
Jiang Wanning's family currently lives in the house she bought when she was in high school. Later, she wanted to buy another one, but the housing prices went up, so the house purchase was put on hold.
When Jiang Wanning arrived, they were talking to Duan Chengming about having a child.
Duan Chengming's mother saw Jiang Wanning arrive and said, "You're back."
Jiang Wanning never called her "Mom" again after the first time she called her "Mom" on her wedding day.
She felt that she and Duan Chengming would never be together in the future, so she smiled lightly and replied, "Yeah, I'm back," and then shouted to Duan Chengming's second aunt, "You're here."
Duan Chengming's second aunt and her family also work in public institutions. Duan Chengming's second uncle-in-law is the director of the urban management department, and one of their daughters has been admitted to an important department in the district. Their family is better off than Duan Chengming's, so in their family, their words are considered to be kept.
Duan Chengming's mother looked a little unhappy, and said sullenly, "We've been waiting for you. Let's eat first. Your father and his colleagues are still working overtime. Let's eat first." Duan Chengming's mother is retired and no longer works, while Duan Chengming's father is still working and will be retiring in a year.
Duan Chengming blinked at Jiang Wanning and walked over. "You're back. Let's eat first."
Seeing Duan Chengming coming over, Jiang Wanning took a small step back and smiled. Jiang Wanning was still very reluctant to let Duan Chengming get close to her, but she endured it and nodded at him.
At the dinner table, Duan Chengming's second aunt looked at Jiang Wanning and said with a smile, "Is your human resources department very busy recently?"
Jiang Wanning nodded.
Duan Chengming's mother said, "Is it a leader from the city? I heard from Old Duan that their unit has been working overtime a lot these days. I don't know which department this leader will go to."
Duan Chengming's second aunt said with a smile: "I heard that this leader is only 35 years old, but he is already a deputy. His family members are all in the upper echelons and hold real power. I heard that he won't stay here for long this time. He just came here for a walk. Not only that, I heard that he is still single and not married. He is also very handsome."
Jiang Wanning ate while listening, and it was similar to what she had heard.
Duan Chengming's mother smiled and replied: "Since Zhiyao is so beautiful, let her dress up more these days."
Duan Chengming's second aunt smiled and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Our Zhiyao is pretty, graduated from a prestigious university, and has a good position now. Her father will retire in a few years, and our Zhiyao's position will be promoted by then. Our family doesn't look down on ordinary people. At least her position must be higher than her father's, but not lower than her father's," she said with a look of pride.
Duan Chengming looked at Jiang Wanning eating with her head down, and said, "Second Aunt, you are right. My cousin is beautiful and she should find a good man."
Duan Chengming was able to start a company partly because of his second uncle's position, which brought him many benefits in his work.
Duan Chengming's mother glanced at Jiang Wanning. She really looked down on Jiang Wanning. She was from a poor family and could not help her son at all. But what could she do if her son still liked her? She was not sweet-talking.
She sat there for a long time without saying a word, just eating with her head down. When she first came in, she didn't even call her "Mom". It was really embarrassing to take her out.
Then he said, "Wan Ning, you have been married for a year, isn't it time to consider having children? I am retired now, and since you don't have time, I will help you take care of the children."
Jiang Wanning raised her head and glanced at Duan Chengming, "That..."
Duan Chengming's mother was a little unhappy. "You don't need to look at Chengming. Having a child is a matter for both of us. I have just told Chengming about this. He said he would start preparing to have a child from today."
Jiang Wanning looked at Duan Chengming in panic.
Duan Chengming glanced at Jiang Wanning, then looked at his mother, "Mom, having a child is not something you can do just like that. Wanning and I will prepare for it for a while. Please don't rush us. We will start preparing from now on."
Duan Chengming's mother then let them go.
Duan Chengming's second aunt mediated, "Okay, they've just been married for a year, and they're both working hard on their careers. Since Chengming said he's started preparing, you shouldn't worry about it and just wait for your grandchildren."
After eating and sitting for a while, Jiang Wanning glanced at Duan Chengming,
Duan Chengming received the message, "Mom, Second Aunt, let's go back first. We all have to get up early to go to work tomorrow."
After leaving the residential complex, Jiang Wanning stopped and looked at Duan Chengming, "What are you going to do?"
Duan Chengming looked at Jiang Wanning and stammered, "You...you can't accept a man anyway, and I can't accept a woman either. How about we do some IVF? I'll leave all my property to you and the child. What do you think?"
Jiang Wanning shook her head after hearing this and said, "I'm sorry, I can't accept what you said. I think your mother also wants to have a grandchild. If it really doesn't work out, let's get a divorce after a while. You can find..."
Duan Chengming hurriedly said, "Don't... I told you, my parents definitely won't accept it. This is fine. Let me think about it. Um... where are you going back to?"
