After sending the two families off, it was already evening. Yan Mo and Si Ze were kept by Mu Wanyue in Jingyang Community for dinner.
Ever since Grandpa knew that Si Ze was good at Tai Chi, he instinctively thought that Si Ze must be good at chess too. As soon as he got out of the car, he was pulled away by Grandpa. Yan Mo went to the kitchen to help. Aunt Hong was still cooking, and she and Mu Wanyue were helping on the side.
Aunt Hong knew that today was a big day for the host family, so she was also happy. She kept stirring the dishes and asked casually:
"Madam, how about showing off your skills today?"
She still remembered that when the young son-in-law from the employer's family came to visit her for the first time, her wife happily cooked several dishes herself.
Mu Wanyue shook her head decisively:
"I'd better not show off my skills."
"Why? Mom, I want to eat too." Yan Mo said with a smile. She remembered that it had been a long time since she had eaten the dishes cooked by her mother. Needless to say, she really wanted to eat them.
"I'm afraid my son-in-law won't be used to it." Mu Wanyue's old face turned red and she said it embarrassedly. It was really her cooking skills that were too poor. Last time she fried an egg, it was burnt. In Mu Wanyue's opinion, Si Ze just forced himself to eat it.
"No." Yan Mo waved his hand and said firmly: "He is not picky. He can even eat the food I cook. How could he not be used to the food you cook, mom?" Her mother's cooking skills must be better than hers.
Aunt Hong smiled and interjected:
"Miss, how can it be the same? Even if you burn a bowl of charcoal, your brother-in-law can still eat it!"
During the sweet stage of young people's love, as long as the food is made by their partner, no matter how hard to swallow it is, it will be coated with a layer of honey and taste sweet.
Hearing Aunt Hong's teasing, Yan Mo blushed slightly, but he did not fully agree with her point of view and argued:
"Si Ze is really not picky. When I go out to eat with him, he can eat any dish."
Yan Modao did not exaggerate this. Every time she was out, if she felt something was not tasty or could not be eaten, she would give it to Si Ze. Si Ze would finish it all and say it was delicious afterwards.
However, she was too embarrassed to tell Aunt Hong and the others about this, as it was too embarrassing.
Aunt Hong and Mu Wanyue looked at each other, smiled and didn't say anything else. Yan Mo also felt that the more they talked, the more it sounded like they were showing off their love, so she obediently shut her mouth.
After a while, Mu Wanyue remembered what her daughter said to her this morning. Her expression became serious and she asked solemnly:
"What did you mean this morning when you said you weren't pregnant?"
At dinner at the hotel today, the Si family clearly thought Yan Mo was pregnant! And this girl said she wasn't this morning? And until now, Mu Wanyue still doesn't know if her daughter is pregnant or not? This is a big deal, big or small, and there can't be any mistakes.
Sudden.
Mu Wanyue thought of a possibility. She immediately stopped washing the vegetables, turned off the faucet, and turned to look at Yan Mo with a changed expression:
"Momo, you didn't pretend to be pregnant on purpose and then trick your mother-in-law into transferring the shares to you, did you?" The more Mu Wanyue thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible. Otherwise, it couldn't explain why the Si family would transfer the shares to a daughter-in-law who hadn't even married yet. Zhenghong Group was not a small company. As far as she knew, it was worth hundreds of billions. This was circulated on the Internet many years ago. Now it's probably more than that. Two percent of the shares is also tens of billions of assets. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved. If her daughter pretended to be pregnant for this, it would be understandable, but unforgivable.
The truth will come out sooner or later. I am afraid that by then my daughter will lose more and become alienated from everyone in the Si family. Although she has not had much contact with the Si family, she also roughly understands that the Si family is a family that cares most about sincerity. In this way, I am afraid that the Si family will regret the engagement.
Even if Si Ze loves her daughter deeply and finally marries her, if the Si family disagrees and she doesn't get along well with her in-laws, her marriage will become precarious. Isn't the youngest daughter the best example?
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Mu Wanyue immediately shook off the water on her hands and dragged Yan Mo out: "No, you have to explain everything to Si Ze and his family."
"Mom..." When Yan Mo reacted, she had already been pulled out of the kitchen. Yan Mo exerted a little force on her hands, broke free from her mother's hand, and simply pulled her back, walked to the bottom of the stairs, and began to explain to her slowly.
After a while, Yan Mo finally explained the misunderstanding to her mother.
"So, it wasn't me who said this, it was your son-in-law who said it."
"What did Si Ze say? Has he been lying to them all this time?" Mu Wanyue felt that this word was inappropriate. After all, judging from her daughter's words, it seemed that Mr. Si had misunderstood. She changed the subject, "Are you never going to explain clearly?"
"Of course I have to explain." Yan Mo said firmly.
"Then explain it earlier." After saying that, Mu Wanyue analyzed the pros and cons with Yan Mo again, and then left the stairwell, letting her daughter think about it herself.
After hearing what Mu Wanyue said, Yan Mo's little face wrinkled even more. It was definitely impossible for him to tell her tonight. He could only find a suitable opportunity to confess as soon as possible.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, Aunt Hong's meal was ready and on the table.
"Momo, go call your grandpa and the others to come for dinner!" Mu Wanyue ordered.
"Okay." Yan Mo responded, wiped the oil off his hands, left the restaurant, and went to the study on the second floor.
As she expected, at this moment, Si Ze and her grandfather were tied on the chessboard. However, Si Ze looked very calm, with an expression of confidence of victory on his face. On the other hand, her grandfather looked conflicted, obviously not knowing what to do next. Her father and grandmother surrounded her grandfather, constantly giving him advice.
"Dad, your horse should move forward a little bit..."
"No, don't you see your grandson-in-law's car is here?"
"Then here..." Yan Ming pointed to another location.
“No, no…”
It was obvious that this was now a white-hot stage and a critical moment. Yan Mo did not disturb them immediately, but walked behind Si Ze, as if to support him, and surrounded him.
Although the people on the other side are her closest relatives, she can't let him be isolated and helpless. No, she has to help her husband herself and not let others bully her. In a one-on-one fight, it depends on one's ability, but in a group fight, she will help.
Si Ze noticed Yan Mo's arrival early in the morning. Seeing her coming to his side, it seemed that she was here to support him. This girl finally understood and knew how to protect him. He couldn't help but smile. His heart felt sweet as if it was filled with honey. He naturally took her hand, moved his body to make half a space for her, then pulled her to sit beside him and began to play with her soft little hands. He enjoyed this feeling very much and was not in a hurry to remind the old man opposite.
A little time passed, and finally, it was Yan Mo who told the grandfather on the opposite side the next move of the chess piece, and Lao Mu won the only game of the night.
"Hahaha... My niece is the best. She knows how to gather military intelligence for grandpa." Old Wood said excitedly, sweeping away the dejection brought by the previous defeat.
Yan Mo smiled but didn't say anything. Si Ze was afraid that she would have trouble waiting, so he took the initiative to tell her and asked her to tell grandpa. It was because of this that they could go downstairs to eat at this moment.
"Momo, by the way, my grandson-in-law promised to take us back the day after tomorrow. Are you going?"
