Jiang Tingzhou has always been calm and composed, and he almost never speaks with such hesitation.
His actions at this moment show that he is struggling internally about saying these things.
If you can decide something yourself, then it's fine.
What will Ke Lingya's attitude be after she suddenly finds out she has an extra daughter-in-law? That's unpredictable.
They might become unhappy and angry because they can't accept it, and might even do something extreme.
Even if the probability is very low, it is not impossible.
After a few seconds of silence on the phone, Lingya suddenly raised her voice and said, "Why didn't you tell your mother about something so important!"
"mom……"
Jiang Tingzhou frowned downstairs.
His worst fear—anger—did indeed come true.
"You think you've grown up and are all grown up now? I can let small things slide, but you won't even tell me about something as important as your life partner? What kind of girl is she? You don't even dare to bring her to meet me, yet you're in such a hurry to get married. How bad is she?!"
Lingya's voice did not weaken at all.
The reason Xu Wan and the others didn't hear it was because in those few seconds, she quickly went into the bathroom of the small house and closed the door tightly.
Then, standing in front of the bathroom window, I could see Jiang Tingzhou.
The man stood downstairs, fidgeting with his hair in frustration. "Mom, no, it's because the circumstances were indeed special..."
"Special circumstances? What could be special about it? Did you bring me a male wife?"
Aunt Ling tried her best to control her emotions.
"Mom, no, I'll explain to you slowly later, I..."
"Pfft!" Ling Ya couldn't keep up the act any longer and burst out laughing. She said to Jiang Tingzhou in a lighthearted tone, "Look at how timid you were when you were talking about getting married! Were you afraid I'd suddenly change my attitude?"
Jiang Tingzhou was also somewhat surprised.
He never expected that everything Lingya had just done was an act.
Lingya continued, "Judging from the tone you used when you talked about getting married, my daughter-in-law would definitely be heartbroken if she heard you. Is marrying her so shameful? Why are you so hesitant? Are you even a man?"
Jiang Tingzhou then relaxed.
He was always at ease and strategizing when he was working.
The reason I acted that way just now was because I cared about Xu Wan and was too nervous.
A few days ago, he had his lawyer retrieve the video of Cao Yating scolding Xu Wan on Friday night.
If she dared to treat Xu Wan like this even after all these years, one can only imagine how bad her attitude must have been when she went to Liu Yingjun's house to cause trouble a year ago.
He was afraid that Ling Ya would suffer the same fate, causing Xu Wan to be hurt a second time.
After all, the Jiang family was large and powerful, and if they married a woman with ulterior motives, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jiang Tingzhou paused for a moment, then said, "Mom, your daughter-in-law is really a very good girl. When you have time, I'll come to see you first and tell you about her situation. Then, when you have time, we can arrange for you to meet."
Lingya knew why Jiang Tingzhou was so cautious.
The question Xu Wan asked her on the plane must have been about her.
She was the girl who had no father and whose mother was in prison.
Lingya was also very fortunate that she met Xu Wan first.
Otherwise, if they suddenly heard that their son had found a girl from such a family, they would definitely not be able to accept it at first and would also be worried.
"Okay, I've been a bit busy lately. I'll contact you again when I have time." Ling Ya didn't stay in the bathroom any longer. She returned to the living room and, thinking of Xu Wan in the study, asked, "By the way, as the mother-in-law, I definitely need to prepare for my first meeting with my daughter-in-law. What does she like?"
"No need, just treat it as a normal meeting."
“That won’t do.” Lingya walked into the kitchen and started rummaging through the cupboards. “I just moved recently and I don’t have much stuff at home. Does she need bird’s nest? I customize all my cosmetics according to my own genes, so she can’t use them.”
"Really, you don't need to..."
"Don't interrupt me!" Ling Ya continued walking into the bedroom and started rummaging through the closet. "I still have an orange Hermes bag here. I thought it was too bright before and never carried it. Should I give it to her as a gift?"
Ling Ya didn't wait for Jiang Tingzhou to express his opinion and made the decision directly, "Alright, it's settled then!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Wan walked to the door and said to her, "Aunt Ling, get out of class is over, I'm going home."
Ling Ya quickly told Jiang Tingzhou on the other end of the phone, "I have to hang up now."
Jiang Tingzhou was momentarily dazed.
The voice my mother spoke on the phone just now... it sounded a bit like Xu Wan?
