Chapter 170 Was Comrade Zhu Zhu Wrong?
Jiang Shang, who had been left behind, patted Qin Jiajia's hand reassuringly: "Don't worry, my parents just can't accept me dating right now. They'll be fine in a couple of days. It's just that you've been wronged."
Qin Jiajia felt a little wronged, but considering that Jiang Shang's parents had originally favored Zhu Zhu, and now it was her instead, she could understand after putting herself in their shoes. However, despite her understanding, she still felt somewhat aggrieved. Fortunately, Jiang Shang noticed her grievances and comforted her.
"Yes, I'm not wronged, I have you." Qin Jiajia looked a little uncomfortable after saying this, but Jiang Shang was happy.
Normally, Qin Jiajia is a reserved person, and it's harder than climbing to heaven to hear her say something nice. Every time she hears a word from Jiang Shang, she can be happy for half a day.
Jiang Shang was initially a little worried about his parents' arrival, but now he is full of confidence. He's sure his parents will be satisfied with such a wonderful woman as Qin Jiajia!
Jiang Shang followed his parents with great confidence, and Qin Jiajia happily followed beside him.
The little peach blossom that passed by: ...
Little Peach Blossom, with her amazing hearing, had already eavesdropped—cough, no, openly listened to the entire conversation from afar. Seeing them heading towards Zhu Zhu, she couldn't resist following them.
Of course, it wasn't just Little Peach Blossom who did this; there were also those who were curious and gossipy.
Little Peach would never admit to being gossipy; she was just curious, purely curious. The panel said Jiang's parents were very satisfied with Qin Jiajia, but now it seems they weren't so satisfied?
Don't ask why Xiao Taohua could figure it out, after all, Jiang Shang's parents didn't pay any attention to Qin Jiajia.
Little Peach Blossom thought that if she were Qin Jiajia, she definitely wouldn't fall for Jiang Shang, and even if she did, she would stop liking him immediately. She wouldn't suffer such injustice.
"Zhu Zhu, Jiang Yan." Jiang's mother went over to Zhu Zhu and the others and saw that they were working and didn't seem to be paying attention to them, so she smiled and spoke directly.
"Uncle and Aunt, what brings you here?" Jiang Yan looked up at her in surprise when she heard the voice.
"I came to see you all. You've all had a hard time these past few days."
"It's not hard work, it's all for the people!"
"Good awareness."
Jiang Yan chuckled foolishly.
Zhu Zhu then politely greeted, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
"Okay. Zhu Zhu looks thinner. Don't worry, your aunt brought you a lot of good things this time, so you can make up for it."
"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."
"Hey, there's no need to thank me. I've watched you all grow up. Zhu Zhu, you're the daughter-in-law I've been planning for a long time."
Those words made everyone present feel awkward.
Jiang Yan twitched her lips as if to say something, but Zhu Zhu pulled her back. She smiled and looked at Jiang's mother, saying, "Auntie, Comrade Jiang Shang and I have nothing to do with each other now. Please don't make jokes like that in the future, or Comrade Jiang Shang's girlfriend will be unhappy."
She meant it sincerely. If Zhu Zhu hadn't been so open-minded before, she might have felt even more strongly that Jiang Shang would definitely be with her because of Jiang's mother's words. But now, Zhu Zhu doesn't think they will be together. Seeing how affectionate Jiang Shang and Qin Jiajia have been these days, Zhu Zhu's original feelings have gradually faded.
People should always think about themselves. It's neither worthwhile nor possible to abandon all dignity to try and keep a man whose heart isn't with her.
Of course, as I said before, this is the way the person is thinking now, but if it were before...
Zhu Zhu felt she couldn't think about it; just imagining it made her feel suffocated, and it would make her feel like she was going crazy, ultimately harming herself and others.
Jiang's mother never expected Zhu Zhu to say such a thing.
It's impossible for Jiang's mother not to understand Zhu Zhu's feelings for her son. In fact, she even played matchmaker in the process. However, she never expected that after her son went to the countryside and started dating, Zhu Zhu would no longer be as deeply in love with him as before.
She couldn't help but frown; her previous plans seemed to have been rendered useless.
As for Qin Jiajia, Jiang's mother had absolutely no good impression of this woman. Knowing her son had a future marriage prospect, she still got together with him—something that would have been considered disgraceful in the past. Although such behavior isn't common now, it's still looked down upon. Jiang's mother didn't want a daughter-in-law like that.
Judging from her son's attitude, he still cares a lot about Qin Jiajia.
She had originally planned to try and reunite Zhu Zhu, who was still hung up on her son, but unexpectedly...
So, Jiang's mother was still a little unwilling to give up: "What do you mean by 'daughter-in-law'? I've known you since you were little, and that will never change in this lifetime!"
"Mom! What are you saying!" Jiang Shang finally couldn't help but frown, and his tone became unusually serious.
"Didn't you hear what I said? I said, I don't approve of your relationship with this woman!" Jiang's mother finally faced Qin Jiajia directly, but her words caused Qin Jiajia's heart to ache, and made Jiang Shang feel even more sorry for the person beside him.
“Mom, it’s my business who I date. Jiajia is the person I’ve decided to spend my life with. You’ve only just met her and don’t know her well, so I won’t say anything to you. But don’t reject Jiajia as soon as you meet her, or reject your son’s judgment in choosing a partner. Jiajia is really a good person.”
Jiang Shangyue said this, and Jiang's mother disliked Qin Jiajia even more: "She's good? If she's good, how could she take advantage of your relationship with Zhu Zhu when it's so clear? That's not something a decent person would do!"
"Mom, Jiajia didn't do anything. I was the one who liked her first and then pursued her."
"If she didn't have feelings for you two, would you have gone to pursue her? You and Zhu Zhu were doing well, and Zhu Zhu's parents and I were discussing when you would get married. How can you do this to us and Zhu Zhu's parents?"
Jiang's father also said something unusual: "Jiang Shang, you really didn't do a good job in this matter."
Jiang Shang felt suffocated looking at his opposing parents. He looked at Zhu Zhu, but she turned her head away. She had no reason or need to say anything in Jiang Shang's defense. Jiang Shang then looked at Jiang Yan, but she also turned her head away.
Jiang Shang took a deep breath: "Mom and Dad, let's not talk about this now. You've come all this way, go and rest for a bit."
"Rest? What rest? You can't even catch your breath, how can you rest properly?" Jiang's mother said angrily. "Tell me, what's wrong with Zhu Zhu? Why did you have to fall for her!"
Jiang Shang didn't expect his mother to still be dissatisfied with Jiajia after all this talk. He couldn't help but say angrily, "No matter how good Zhu Zhu is, I don't like her. I only like Jiajia!"
"You! You!" Jiang's mother pointed at her son, unable to hold back her tears as she clutched her chest.
Jiang's father quickly said, "Jiang Shang, look how angry you've made your mother, all because of a woman!"
"Dad, the woman you're talking about is the woman I love, and she'll be the mother of my future children! Jiajia and I are in love, and we're not bothering anyone, so why can't we be together! And even if you all like Zhu Zhu, I don't like her. No matter how much she pursues me, I just don't like her!"
The atmosphere was tense, everyone's emotions were on the verge of exploding, but a clear, questioning voice broke the tension: "Why do you always bring Comrade Zhu Zhu? Has Comrade Zhu Zhu done anything wrong?"
