When Mu Xiaocheng returned home, she saw Zhou Ningyi and Meng Yun arguing in the living room.
Zhou Ningyi's face was flushed red, and her voice was sharp as she yelled at Meng Yun, "Meng Yun, look what you've done! How could you give the household registration book to that Ji Huaishen? How are we going to explain this to the old man?"
"We haven't even figured out Ji Huaishen's background yet, and you secretly gave him your household registration book behind my back. Aren't you afraid that our Xiaocheng will run into human traffickers?"
Meng Yun took off his glasses, and sweat was already beading on his forehead.
He rubbed his eyes and shouted back helplessly, "A big shot like Ji Huaishen, would he really need to lie to our Xiaocheng?"
"And another thing. Our Xiao Cheng is very shrewd; she would never let herself be taken advantage of. Do you think everyone is like you, you pig-brain?"
"Meng Yun, you better speak properly to me."
Zhou Ningyi got angry, stood on tiptoe, and grabbed Meng Yun's ear hard with one hand, her expression slightly... ferocious.
"Ouch, ouch..." Meng Yun cried out in pain, her originally fair face turning bright red.
"Zhou Ningyi, oh dear, oh dear, let's be gentlemen and use words, not fists. Let's talk this out!"
Zhou Ningyi ignored her and tightened her grip, saying, "Tell me, who's the pig-brain?"
Meng Yun is a highly authoritative figure in the medical field, and he is seen at almost every academic exchange and conference.
Everyone respectfully addresses him as "Teacher Meng".
He was a highly respected professor and teacher, a leading figure, both in the hospital and the medical school.
Who would have guessed that this teacher, Mr. Meng, is actually quite afraid of his wife at home?
Cultured people call it being afraid of one's wife.
"I... I'm a pig-brain, okay?"
Hearing Meng Yun beg for mercy, Zhou Ningyi finally released him, seemingly relieved.
She glanced at Meng Yun's ears, which had already been pinched red, crossed her arms, and said fiercely, "Hmph! Meng Yun, you've really grown up! You can go and talk to the old man yourself! Don't come back crying when he beats you."
That's a very childish thing to say.
Mu Xiaocheng couldn't bear to watch any longer. Suppressing her laughter, she said, "Auntie, I'll talk to Grandpa about it."
"Little Orange?!"
Meng Yun and Zhou Ningyi spoke almost simultaneously: When did this child... come back?
Meng Yun subconsciously touched her ear, then glared at Zhou Ningyi and asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Xiao Cheng, when did you get back? Why didn't you let Uncle Yuan pick you up?"
Did Xiao Cheng see that embarrassing scene just now?
Seeing Meng Yun's flustered and extremely embarrassed appearance, Mu Xiaocheng couldn't help but laugh.
“Uncle, I’ve seen this kind of scene many times since I was a child, and I’m used to it.”
My uncle is henpecked.
It always has been.
Meng Yun coughed lightly, feeling genuinely embarrassed.
Any man would feel extremely embarrassed at this moment.
Zhou Ningyi quickly changed the subject, asking, "Did you really get your marriage certificate with Ji Huaishen? Are you really willing to marry him?"
Mu Xiaocheng nodded emphatically.
“I married him willingly. Didn’t you all always want me to get married? Now that I’m married, why don’t you believe me anymore?”
"No, that's not what we meant. Your aunt is just worried you'll be scammed. She's just being a woman, ignore her."
No sooner had Meng Yun finished speaking than Zhou Ningyi raised her voice again: "Meng Yun!"
With a loud shout, Professor Meng was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound.
