Chapter 14 I will protect you from now on
Although she knew that He Chi didn't really like her, Jiang Yining couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster when she heard him say "I like her too".
Things have come to this point, and Lin Shu can't say anything more.
She warned He Chi, "You must treat Yining well, or I will not forgive you."
He Chi responded, "I know."
Lin Shu went out first, leaving the couple in the study, and she went back to the bedroom to be alone for a while.
Only she and He Chi were left in the study. Jiang Yining suddenly felt awkward. Facing He Chi, she pursed her lips and explained, "I just said it casually. Don't take it to heart."
He Chi hummed in a low voice, and twitched his lips. "I agreed to let you stand aside, but in the end, I still had to rely on you to help me escape the disaster."
Jiang Yining knew he was teasing.
"Teacher Lin just hit you a few times. Is it okay?"
"fine."
This little pain was nothing compared to the injuries he had sustained during police training. Considering how much his mother loved Jiang Yining, the few blows she had just given him were considered light.
When He Yuwen came back from buying groceries, he was surprised to see He Chi and Jiang Yining sitting idly in the living room.
Looking around, he couldn't see his wife, so he asked, "He Chi, where's your mother?"
He Chi raised his chin and said, "In the bedroom."
He Yuwen frowned. Could it be that he was so angry with He Chi that he went back to his room and became autistic?
He was worried about Lin Shu, so he put down the things in his hands and wanted to go back to the room to take a look. He saw Lin Shu open the door and come out, holding the sandalwood box that contained her precious jewelry.
Seeing that she looked normal, He Yuwen went into the kitchen to get busy.
It seemed that Teacher Lin and Jiang Yining had something to say, so He Chi took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help Teacher He.
Jiang Yining was still a little uneasy. She called out softly, "Teacher."
Lin Shu sat down next to Jiang Yining and said, "Yining, don't think too much. I'm angry because He Chi took you to get the marriage certificate without saying hello, not because I don't like you being my daughter-in-law."
She smiled and said, "To be honest, I never thought that you and I would be destined to be together. He Chi is not worthy of you."
Jiang Yining looked up at Lin Shu with mixed emotions in his eyes, "Teacher..."
"Anyway, in my heart, you are better than He Chi. It is a blessing for him to marry you."
"You didn't follow any of the procedures, Yining. I'm sorry to have wronged you."
Jiang Yining lowered her head in embarrassment. It was really her suggestion to act first and ask for permission later, but the teacher just didn't believe it.
In Teacher Lin's eyes, Jiang Yining has always been a gentle and motivated good girl.
She believed that it was definitely He Chi's idea. Even though Jiang Yining said that she was the one who proposed getting the marriage certificate first, she didn't believe it at all.
Lin Shu opened the wooden box, which contained several fine jade bracelets, jade pendants, and jade hairpins.
"These were given to me by He Chi's grandmother. I originally intended to leave them to He Chi's wife. Now they are all yours."
Lin Shu frowned slightly as she looked at the jewelry. "These styles are too old and don't suit your temperament. I'll take you to buy some new ones in a few days."
Jiang Yining was flattered, "Teacher Lin, I can't accept this."
"Yining, please accept it without worry, otherwise I will be angry with He Chi."
Jiang Yining: “…”
How come she didn't know before that Teacher Lin disliked He Chi so much?
Jiang Yining had no choice but to accept it.
Lin Shu took out another bank card and gave it to Jiang Yining. "This is for you too. Buy some nice clothes and jewelry you like."
"I can't take this."
Lin Shu said, "If you want to take it, consider it as my money to you to change your words."
After saying that, Lin Shu looked at Jiang Yining expectantly.
Jiang Yining understood what she meant. Her face turned red. After a long while, she slowly opened her lips and called out, "Mom."
It was with great difficulty that she called out the word "Mom". It had been nine years since her mother passed away, and she hadn't called out this word in nine years. A sour feeling surged in her heart, and Jiang Yining tried hard to suppress her emotions.
Lin Shu knew that Jiang Yining missed her mother, so she held her hand and comforted her, "Good child, I will protect you from now on."
Jiang Yining almost shed tears. Over the years, she was grateful for the care of Zhang Qiao and Teacher Lin. Otherwise, she had no idea how difficult life would be.
Lin Shu raised his hand to wipe away the tears from Jiang Yining's eyes, "Don't cry."
In the kitchen, He Yuwen advised his son, "He Chi, now that you're married, you have to settle down. You're a man, so you should be more tolerant and accommodating to your partner."
"You have a stubborn temper and haven't spent much time with girls. Yining likes to keep things to herself. You need to be more patient with her. When you two live together, you need to communicate more."
He Yuwen knew his son well. He had a good character and good upbringing, but he was used to being alone.
They got married suddenly, but he and Jiang Yining were not in love and had no time to get to know each other, so there was bound to be friction in their future life.
He Chi agreed, "Dad, I understand all this."
"Since I decided to get married, I never thought about getting divorced in the future. Before I came back this time, I decided to stay in Lincheng and not leave."
He Yuwen snorted, "If you dare to leave, your mother will break your legs."
He Chi: “…”
During the meal, Lin Shu asked, "Do we need to buy a new wedding house?"
Jiang Yining looked at He Chi.
He Chi said, "Stay with me for now. It's close to Yining's school. We can consider changing houses later if necessary."
Lin Shu asked Jiang Yining for his opinion, "Yining, what do you think?"
Jiang Yining nodded, "I have no objection, just do as He Chi said."
After they finished discussing the wedding house, He Yuwen asked, "When do you plan to have the wedding?"
Jiang Yining didn't want to hold a wedding at this stage. She and He Chi had no emotional foundation now. She longed to have a romantic wedding with the person she loved, but not now.
"I'd like to do it later."
Jiang Yining answered He Yuwen's question first.
Lin Shu: "Okay, I'll do whatever you want regarding the wedding. You can hold it whenever you want and in whatever style you want. When the time comes, let He Chi find a professional team to plan it so he doesn't have to tire himself out."
Jiang Yining smiled lightly, "Thank you, Mom."
Lin Shu couldn't stop smiling.
Seeing this, He Chi said jokingly, "Teacher Lin has never given me such a smile."
Chen Ran used to say something similar all the time, and his ears were already callused from hearing it.
He Chi suddenly remembered it and said it out loud.
Jiang Yining couldn't help laughing.
Lin Shu also laughed. She said unhappily, "Who told you to annoy me every day?"
He Yuwen mentioned something, "He Chi, you have to thank your mother. Your mother had to go to the temple to pray to Yue Lao for you to marry Yining."
"Teacher Lin is a staunch materialist. He's resorting to such extreme measures for you."
If He Yuwen hadn't mentioned it, Lin Shu would have forgotten about it. She said, "Teacher Dong recommended it to me. It seems the Yue Lao in that temple is quite effective. I have to make time to go to the temple to fulfill my vow in the next two days."
He Chi really didn't know that his lifelong affairs almost drove Teacher Lin crazy, and she even resorted to praying to gods and Buddhas.
Before leaving, Lin Shu specifically instructed Jiang Yining, "Yining, according to etiquette, both parties' parents should meet before getting the marriage certificate. Since you got the certificate suddenly and your family doesn't know about it yet, I suggest you don't mention it yet."
"See if your family is free these few days. I'll ask He Chi to arrange a meal for everyone, and then you can tell them that you've obtained the marriage certificate."
