Chapter 445: Supporting the Future Granddaughter-in-law
"Yunlan, as an elder of high status, can't you be more broad-minded? Why are you acting like an old antique from the feudal era, insisting on breaking up your son's happiness?
As the saying goes, it’s better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage! Tell me, how come you are not as open-minded as me and your father?
"Mom, why are you blaming me too?" He Yunlan was very confused.
What kind of magic potion did Jiang Yao use on the two elders in the family?
"I'm doing this for the future of Beiting. How could I possibly harm my son?"
"That's enough! Didn't you hurt my grandson enough when he was little?" Old Master Li's face fell completely. "One or two irresponsible parents, they never fulfilled their responsibilities at all, and now that the child has grown up, you want to control him!
Stop using the high-sounding excuse of doing it for your son's good! In the final analysis, you are all just doing it for your own reputation and profit.
I'm putting this on notice today. As long as I'm alive, I will never allow anyone to bully or hinder the happiness of my eldest grandson and his wife!"
He wasn't just talking to He Yunlan.
At the same time, he was also blaming his son.
This irresponsible couple thought that they were qualified to be parents just because they gave birth to a child and provided him with all the necessary conditions.
It was because of them that Li Beiting almost became autistic on the spot.
If they hadn't insisted on taking Li Beiting away, he didn't know what kind of personality he would have developed.
He Yunlan was scolded so much that her face turned pale.
Ever since she married into the Li family, Old Man Li had almost never been so disrespectful to her in front of outsiders.
Especially his last words, which made her so angry that she felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. She could no longer stay and turned around and left.
After she left, the tense atmosphere in the air finally eased.
"Yaoyao, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged." Old Master Li immediately comforted her, "Grandpa promises you that he won't let her ruin your relationship. If you want to get married, no one can stop you."
"Yes, Yaoyao, you don't have to be afraid, we will all support you." Old Mrs. Li also expressed her attitude.
Jiang Yao was deeply touched by this, but she still wanted to say, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm currently enjoying the feeling of being in love with Bei Ting, and I have no plans to get married for the time being."
Li Beiting's heart tightened when he heard this.
He didn't know whether Jiang Yao really thought so or was influenced by his mother's words.
If it was the latter, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Haha, it's okay." Old Master Li was quite open-minded and didn't force anything. "You're still young, so you should enjoy your youth. Once you decide to get married, your family will make arrangements for you. Just make the choice that suits your heart!"
"Yes, love and marriage are quite different. You should really experience them more." Mrs. Li was also very easy to talk to.
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma."
Jiang Yao was very grateful for their understanding.
And I feel very lucky to have met such an elder.
Seeing that there was a smile between her eyebrows and no trace of gloom, Li Beiting also breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's no need to be polite among family members." Old Master Li said this and then thought of something. He said cheerfully, "By the way, Yaoyao, I heard from Beiting that you are not only good at handicrafts, chess, and calligraphy, but also have some knowledge of other things. It just so happens that we old men and women are having a party this afternoon. If you are free, why not come with us?"
Since the old man invited her so warmly, Jiang Yao naturally had no reason to refuse.
However, Li Beiting did not accompany him because he had things to deal with at the company.
At the afternoon party.
Seeing the old couple from the Li family appear with a strange little girl, the elderly people present all looked at them with curiosity.
Mr. Li was very proud. Without waiting for anyone to ask, he introduced everyone he met: "This is Jiang Yao, my Beiting's girlfriend. She is an aerospace researcher and has made many contributions to the cause of our country."
"Surely that amazing! I think I've actually seen him on the news, winning some big award."
"This little girl is even more beautiful than what we see in the news. The Li family boy is so lucky!"
Everyone praised it.
Jiang Yao was indeed outstanding in terms of appearance and demeanor. Everyone could see that Mr. Li was trying to show off and was willing to cooperate.
"Hmph." But one old man just didn't buy it. "Isn't she just a granddaughter-in-law? What's there to praise? Every girl these days has some skills!"
Jiang Yao looked at the old man and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
Looking at the other person's arrogant face, Old Man Li sneered, "Old Qin, I think you're just sour grapes! Our Yaoyao is no ordinary girl. She's very capable!"
"I advise you to stop bragging, otherwise you will be embarrassed when your boasting is exposed!" Old man Qin continued to sneer.
Old Master Li narrowed his eyes, and suddenly walked to a calligraphy painting and waved at Jiang Yao, "Yaoyao, come over and take a look. What do you think of this calligraphy painting?"
Jiang Yao walked over to take a look out of curiosity. "The brushstrokes are vigorous and powerful, showing a profound foundation. The landscape painting next to it is also poetic and picturesque."
"Is it your turn as a little girl to evaluate my work?" Old man Qin immediately stepped forward and said dissatisfiedly.
Jiang Yao politely said, "I'm sorry, I mean no harm."
"Tsk, what's the point of arguing with a little girl?" Old Master Li rolled his eyes at her and turned to look at Jiang Yao. "Yaoyao, come here and draw a simple painting for everyone to see."
"Me?" Jiang Yao was about to ask how he could do this...
"Haha, Old Man Li, you should stop showing off your grandson's wife. You should know yourself. She is just a little girl, and you don't think she can write anything decent. You are really overestimating yourself!" Old Man Qin mocked him on the spot, laughing from ear to ear.
Jiang Yao's eyes turned cold.
The next second, she quickly took out a new piece of white paper and placed the inkstone on it. Then she picked up the brush on the table, lightly dipped it in ink, and began to write and draw on the paper.
Because she was moving so fast, her technique looked exaggerated, and every stroke of her brush looked like graffiti at first, so no one present took it seriously.
Old man Qin even crossed his arms and sneered, "Little girl, stop acting in front of me. Do you really think you are a master of calligraphy? Or..."
Jiang Yao stopped writing before he finished the rest of his words.
Old man Qin paused and subconsciously lowered his head, only to see that the seemingly messy lines had transformed into a dragon soaring in the clouds, with scales and claws flying. The dragon's eyes in the ink-black sky seemed to come alive and sparkled, and it was about to break through the paper in the next second.
There is also a line of simple words written in brush on the side: "The hidden dragon is useless, the flying dragon is in the sky!"
The whole audience gasped.
"The finishing touch! It's so well drawn."
"This calligraphy and painting, this level, is not inferior to that of Mr. Qin who has decades of experience."
"How's it going, Old Qin?" Old Master Li looked at Old Qin's dazed expression. "Now you've seen what my granddaughter-in-law is capable of!"
