Chapter 444 I Don’t Approve of This Future Daughter-in-Law
Old Master Li's eyes sparkled, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling while hugging the chessboard. "Great, you are worthy of being my good granddaughter-in-law. You have good taste!"
"Look at what you have accomplished." Old Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at him.
Old Master Li seemed to realize his own misstep and cleared his throat. "Ahem... Yaoyao, since this is your first visit, we've prepared a small gift for you."
He handed her a document and said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind."
“How could it be…”
Jiang Yao knew that when she met the man's elders, the other party would give her a red envelope based on his/her intentions.
But this is the first time I've seen it.
She opened the document at any time and the transfer document of a gold mine was deeply imprinted in her eyes.
Her expression froze.
Like he couldn't believe what he saw.
Turning to look at Li Beiting, "This..."
Li Beiting gave her a sly smile and said as a matter of course: "Since it is a gift from grandpa and grandma, you should accept it."
Does this mean you can just give it away casually?
It’s not gold or gold bars, but a gold mine!
"This is too expensive." Jiang Yao had never seen such a scene before.
"How can it be expensive? You are the only granddaughter-in-law of our Li family, and the daughter of the Jiang family. This is just what suits your status." Old Master Li said as a matter of course: "You just promised not to despise me, so you can't go back on your word."
Jiang Yao: "..."
In the end, she couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the two old people and had to accept it.
At this moment, the servant came over and said respectfully, "Master, Madam, dinner is ready."
"Okay." Mrs. Li enthusiastically took Jiang Yao's arm and walked towards the restaurant.
There was a pile of delicious food on the dining table, including desserts and fruits that were all Jiang Yao's favorites.
"Yaoyao, from now on, just treat this place as your home. Just tell me what you like."
Jiang Yao knew that this must have been something Li Beiting had instructed him to do in advance.
He had arranged everything in advance, hoping that he could meet his elders happily and not feel left out.
The family sat at the dining table in a warm atmosphere.
"Yaoyao, I heard that your second uncle is going to have a wedding next week." Old Mrs. Li asked curiously.
"Yes, I have already handed over several invitations to Beiting. I hope both elders will do me the honor of attending when the time comes." Jiang Yao smiled.
"Okay, okay!" Old Master Jiang smiled so hard that his fox eyes narrowed. "This is a great joyous occasion! At my age, what I like most is seeing the younger generations get married. Come to think of it, you and Beiting are also at this age, right?
If Yaoyao thinks this guy is okay, maybe she can consider getting married."
He finally got to the point.
Jiang Yao was startled.
A hint of uneasiness flashed across Li Beiting's deep eyes.
Afraid she would refuse.
But this time, before she could answer, a sharp voice rang out from outside: "I don't agree!"
The next second, He Yunlan walked in with a sullen face, "Is this the shameful woman you've been hiding in your house? Li Beiting, you're capable now, talking about marriage and meeting parents, and even jumping directly into my ring, letting your grandparents make the decision?
Do you take me, your mother, seriously? "
Li Beiting's face also turned black on the spot. He deliberately chose the day when He Yunlan was away on business to bring Jiang Yao here because he didn't want her to be offended in any way.
But I didn't expect it to be such an unfortunate coincidence.
She actually chose the right time to come back.
It’s good to say this.
It hit his bottom line.
"She is not some shameful woman, but the only wife I recognize. Even if she is my mother, you have no right to belittle her or humiliate her, otherwise I will never forgive her!" His attitude was cold and even a little inhuman.
The old couple of the Li family had not expected this to happen.
I didn't react for a moment.
"So, you want to turn against your mother for this woman?" He Yunlan became even more angry.
"Enough!" Old Master Li finally couldn't bear it any longer. "What's with this woman and that woman? This is your future daughter-in-law, Jiang Yao, the daughter of the Jiang family who has been engaged to your son for a long time!"
"Is she the missing daughter of the Jiang family?" He Yunlan's expression eased.
But she immediately thought of the rumors she had heard about Jiang Yao on the Internet.
It is said that she is a treasure of the aerospace industry.
Like Beiting, he is obsessed with scientific research and not doing his job properly.
Could it be that the reason why her son was unwilling to come back and inherit the family business was because of her influence?
Thinking of this, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face, but her tone remained firm: "Since you have been recognized as the daughter of a wealthy family, you must change your old habits! Be a lady from a noble family, be virtuous and kind, and persuade and assist your significant other to return to the family and manage the family business together."
She said it as a matter of course.
Jiang Yao naturally understood what she was thinking.
In response to this, she was not angry, but greeted it with a smile: "Auntie, these days, being virtuous and kind is considered an insult to some extent!
I learned to read and write since I was young, went to a good university, and acquired various experiences not to become a good wife and mother. My nature destined me to pursue freedom, and I cannot meet your expectations!
Although her words sound polite, they are actually strong in another sense.
He Yunlan was unhappy but didn't have time to express her opinion.
Jiang Yao continued, "Besides, as the daughter of the Jiang family, I believe my status, position, and intelligence are no less than Li Beiting's. Why should I assist him in managing the family business instead of him helping me? Just because he's a man, should I be inferior to him?"
"You..." He Yunlan didn't expect her to be so tough, and was speechless for a moment.
Jiang Yao continued to talk, "Besides, this is no longer a feudal society. Women in the new era are making progress. From what I've observed, you are also a successful career woman. Will you also listen to your husband and be a pendant to assist him?"
She said this with a hint of sarcasm.
To put it bluntly, it means that the other party should not be so hypocritical.
He Yunlan has always been eloquent and has never felt so aggrieved even in front of her son.
This eloquent girl's little mouth chatters like a machine gun.
What he said was so strange that it was hard to find any point to refute.
At this time, Li Beiting also stood up with his arm around Jiang Yao's shoulders, "Mother, I have already decided on Yaoyao and will never give up in this life. No matter how much you object, I will not change my mind! So in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, I did not inform you!
If you insist on being unreasonable and causing Yaoyao to suffer injustice, I will take her away now."
He made a gesture to go out.
"Stop! You are not the one who should leave." At this time, Mr. Li spoke.
He Yunlan was immediately incredulous and asked, "Dad, what do you mean by that? Am I the one who should leave?"
At this time, Mrs. Li couldn't bear it anymore.
