Du Family Old House

After breakfast the next day, Xia Ningmi went to work at the company, while Du Yuanzhe drove back to the old house.

Except for Zhao Zhimeng, who was still in confinement after childbirth, everyone else was in the living room. He smiled and greeted a few people, then walked to the stroller to tease his little nephew: "Youyou, do you still remember your uncle?"

Du Yuanwen laughed: "He is still a baby who only knows how to drink milk."

Du Yuanzhe stood up and asked, "Brother, has the nursery been redecorated?"

Before, the Du family thought it was a daughter, so Du Yuanwen added a lot of pink decorations to the baby's room, but this was obviously not suitable for a boy.

Speaking of this, Du Yuanwen glanced at his stinky son and still felt very regretful. He said, "I spent so much effort to set it up, I really don't want to change it."

Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "What about Youyou?"

"We don't lack rooms at home, so we can just redecorate a nursery for him."

Du Yuanzhe: "You and your sister-in-law have decided not to have children, what's the point of keeping that baby room?"

Du Yuanwen said meaningfully: "Leave it to your child."

Du Yuanzhe was a little amused and confused: "Not to mention that this is still unrealistic, even if I have children in the future, I will not live at home."

Chen Rongshan was already feeling uncomfortable, and became even more sensitive after hearing this. She said unhappily, "Why? You don't even want to go home to see your parents after you get married?"

Du Yuanzhe waved his hands quickly: "Mom, I didn't mean that. I just said that this nursery is not needed."

Chen Rongshan snorted coldly.

Du Yuanwen tried to ease the atmosphere and said, "Why not? When you bring your child back to live here in the future, you can use the nursery."

"Brother, you are so thoughtful."

Du Yuanzhe was helpless. He just mentioned the nursery, so why did the topic turn to his future children?

Chen Rongshan still looked unhappy, and told the confinement nanny, "Take Youyou away first."

After Youyou was carried away, Chen Rongshan looked at Du Yuanzhe and said, "I saw the trending searches last night."

After a pause, she added, "I also watched the award ceremony."

Originally, her son's winning of the award was something worth celebrating, but Chen Rongshan had no intention of celebrating at all.

Du Yuanzhe had already prepared himself mentally. Hearing Chen Rongshan's veiled question, he was not panicked at all. He walked over calmly and sat down, saying, "Mom, I said before that I would pursue Qi...Xia Ningmi. Now that I have succeeded, you should bless me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the living room changed immediately.

Du Yuanwen looked at Du Yuanzhe in surprise. He thought Du Yuanzhe would evade the issue and was still thinking about how to help him deal with Chen Rongsan, but he didn't expect this guy to admit it directly.

Du Yongliang was relatively calm. The newspaper in his hand shook slightly and then returned to normal. He had a very sharp eye. He had noticed something fishy when Du Yuanzhe publicly expressed his intention to pursue Xia Ningmi. Now it was just a verification of his guess.

The most excited person was Chen Rongshan.

No one knows a child better than his mother, especially after Du Yuanzhe said that he wanted to pursue Xia Ningmi. Chen Rongsan had been staring at the interaction between the two last night. She always felt that something was wrong between them. That was not the atmosphere that should exist between a pursuer and the pursued.

But this was just speculation, and Chen Rongsan once thought she was overthinking it until the two of them became a hot topic and more and more people thought there was a relationship between them. Chen Rongsan became more and more uneasy. She really couldn't accept Xia Ningmi becoming her daughter-in-law, and she thought about investigating the two of them.

Since Xia Ningmi was difficult to investigate, Chen Rongsan asked people to investigate Du Yuanzhe first, thinking that if nothing could be found on Du Yuanzhe, she would then find a way to investigate Xia Ningmi.

The detailed investigation results have not been sent yet, and she had not planned to discuss this matter with Du Yuanzhe before, but Du Yuanzhe's words just now touched Chen Rongsan's sensitive nerves, so she couldn't help but ask.

She really didn't expect Du Yuanzhe to admit it directly.

But after a brief moment of shock, there was endless anger.

Chen Rongshan took a deep breath to prevent herself from making a shrill sound like a shrew, but her tone did not conceal her anger: "Are you showing off to your mother?"

"Mom has said countless times that she doesn't like Xia Ningmi. Did you ignore my words?"

Du Yuanzhe calmed down when he heard this, sat up straight and said, "I remember what mom said, but shouldn't I be able to decide who I want to be with? Do you think I should be a puppet in mom's hands and listen to you in everything?"

"Yuanzhe, how can you talk to your mother like that!"

Du Yuanwen opened his mouth to scold.

Chen Rongshan's face turned pale, and she waved her hands and said, "Don't worry about it. Let him talk. I want to see what my son, whom I have pampered for nearly thirty years, thinks of me."

Du Yuanzhe thought of the past and softened his tone. He apologized, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was too harsh just now. But I didn't mean anything else. I just hope you can respect my freedom to choose my partner."

Chen Rongshan looked at him: "I remember I told you why I didn't like Xia Ningmi."

Du Yuanzhe said, "You think she is inconsiderate and only cares about work and doesn't care about me, but that's just what you think of her. After we started dating, she rarely worked overtime and would come home on time every day to have dinner with me. In fact, I was the one who was busy with work. I joined the crew for several months and it was difficult for me to even take a day off, but she never complained and would take time out to visit me on set."

Hearing this, Chen Rongshan's expression did not improve, and she said, "You two just got together, and she still has the patience to deal with you now."

Seeing that Chen Rongshan was still resisting Xia Ningmi, Du Yuanzhe gave up the idea of ​​confessing that they had been dating for a long time and said unhappily, "Mom, after all, you still have a prejudice against her, which is unfair. You said before that she doesn't know how to be considerate, and now I tell you that she actually knows how to be considerate, and you bring up the fact that we just got together. In your mind, no matter what she does, it's wrong, so what else can we say?"

Chen Rongshan frowned: "Are you blaming Mom?"

Du Yuanzhe said: "I just hope you can put aside your prejudice against her."

The atmosphere was a little tense for a while.

Du Yuanwen tried to smooth things over, "Mom, don't worry too much. Yuanzhe is just in love now, not getting married. We can't predict what will happen in the future."

Du Yuanzhe really wanted to say that he would definitely marry Xia Ningmi, but he knew that saying this now would only irritate Chen Rongsan further and would be of no use.

Du Yuanwen knew Chen Rongsan quite well, and his words touched Chen Rongsan's heart. How could she care who Du Yuanzhe was in love with? She just didn't want Xia Ningmi to enter the Du family and become her daughter-in-law.

No, if they really want to get married, it is more likely that Du Yuanzhe will marry into the Xia family.

Thinking of this, Chen Rongsan became even more opposed to this marriage.

However, she has regained some of her rationality now. She knows that Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi have just been together and their feelings for each other are at their strongest. Her opposition now will only affect their mother-son relationship and push Du Yuanzhe towards Xia Ningmi.

That won’t do!

Chen Rongshan gritted her teeth secretly, she would never let Xia Ningmi take her son away.

Chen Rongshan's expression softened and she said, "Mom's reaction just now was a little too much, but if you hadn't kept it a secret from Mom, Mom wouldn't have been like this."

Seeing that Chen Rongshan did not continue to object, Du Yuanzhe breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what happened in the future, today he had passed this hurdle by confessing. He said, "I was wrong. I will never hide it from Mom again."

Chen Rongshan added: "This is the first time you've told us that you have a girlfriend. I have to meet her no matter what. Bring her home after you finish filming."

Du Yuanzhe was a little embarrassed and smiled dryly: "No need, it's not like you don't know her."

He couldn't even imagine the scene of the two of them meeting.

Chen Rongshan was unhappy: "How can it be the same? She wasn't your girlfriend before."

Actually, yes.

But he didn't dare to say it.

Du Yuanzhe looked at Du Yuanwen for help.

Du Yuanwen laughed and said, "Mom, you are too impatient. Yuanzhe and President Xia have just been together and their relationship is not stable yet. It is too early to meet your parents now. Mengmeng and I have been dating for two years before I brought her to meet you."

What Chen Rongshan wanted was for them to be unstable, and it would be best if everything went wrong right away. But now that Du Yuanwen had interrupted her, Chen Rongshan's plan to defeat the enemy with a stick was shattered.

Chen Rongshan glared at Du Yuanwen who was ruining the show, and said reluctantly: "Let's talk about it another day."

There was nothing she could do now. Chen Rongshan was too lazy to stay with these two miserable sons, so she got up and went to the nursery to see Youyou.

Seeing her leave, Du Yuanzhe instantly relaxed and leaned back against the sofa.

Du Yongliang, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "You also know your mother. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If you let the girl from the Xia family go shopping with your mother from time to time and say more nice things to her, she won't object."

Du Yuanzhe's mouth twitched: "Dad, you are really good at giving advice."

Du Yongliang had never dealt with Xia Ningmi, and most of what he knew about her came from what he heard from others.

Du Yuanwen said, "Dad, I can't even imagine President Xia saying something nice."

That's even less likely than Mars hitting the Earth.

Du Yongliang frowned: "If you two are serious, she and your mother will be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future. How can there be a daughter-in-law who is cold to her mother-in-law all day long?"

Du Yuanzhe couldn't help but say, "You still have a stern face all day long. Didn't grandpa marry mom to you?"

Du Yongliang glared at him: "You are so bold!"

Du Yuanzhe stiffened his neck and said, "I am just telling the truth. My girlfriend is very nice, but she is a little cold-tempered. And now it is my mother who is prejudiced against Qiqi. Why should Qiqi bow down and please her mother?"

He was troubled by how to deal with the relationship between Xia Ningmi and Chen Rongshan, but he never thought of asking Xia Ningmi to compromise. He knew Chen Rongshan too well. If Xia Ningmi compromised once, Chen Rongshan would definitely become more demanding.

Du Yuanwen jokingly asked, "Qiqi?"

Du Yuanzhe said while protecting his food: "Brother, don't yell at me, that's my exclusive name."

Du Yuanwen clicked his tongue and shook his head, this is the sour smell of love.

Du Yongliang also knew that Chen Rongshan was more at fault, and said helplessly: "Your mother has such a bad temper, but she has a good heart. We are all family from now on, so can't you talk it over with the girl from the Xia family?"

He didn't want to upset his wife, nor did he want to ruin his youngest son's marriage.

Du Yuanzhe said seriously: "Dad, you want to make Mom happy, and I also want to make my girlfriend happy."

He wanted Xia Ning to be happy, not to make her compromise for him.

Du Yongliang was speechless for a moment.

Du Yuanwen secretly gave Du Yuanzhe a thumbs up.

In his mind, a man's responsibility is to provide for his woman. Although I am not as capable as Mr. Xia, I do have responsibilities.

This made him very happy.
