Madam Xiao immediately came over and cried out, "My son, my poor son, how are you...?"
Xiao Jinhan's eyes softened, and to avoid worrying her, he smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not..."
Madam Xiao grabbed Tang Yaoyao's hand and looked her over carefully: "Son, how are you? Are you alright? I heard you went to Rongshan to save us. Rongshan is such a horrible place, full of bushes and trees, and wild animals roam around. I hope you didn't hurt your delicate skin. As a girl, I would be so heartbroken if you got hurt!"
Xiao Jinhan: "..."
"..."
Tang Yaoyao looked at Madam Xiao. She looked very young and well-dressed, with long, straight hair and a gentle demeanor, but she seemed somewhat at a loss: "I... Madam Xiao..."
"Why are you calling me Madam Xiao? You're about to marry my good-for-nothing son, you should change your address to Mom. My good daughter-in-law, you're so filial, I'm content for this lifetime." Madam Xiao patted Tang Yaoyao's hand, clearly pleased.
Tang Yaoyao looked at Xiao Jinhan. At this moment, Xiao Jinhan should be the one who is most seriously injured.
Xiao Jinhan asked, "Mom, did you see me or not?"
Madam Xiao glanced down at Xiao Jinhan, then looked at Tang Yaoyao: "What are you looking at? I don't see her often, but this is the first time I've seen my daughter-in-law. She's so beautiful. Our Xiao family is so lucky."
Seeing their affectionate behavior, Xiao Zhenqiao became more serious and coughed twice: "This is nothing, it's just going up Rongshan to find someone. You're getting so excited before you've even found them, what kind of behavior is this! They're not even married yet, and you're already calling them daughter-in-law, how embarrassing, it's not even a done deal!"
"Let's see our son first," Xiao Zhenqiao said.
“Son, I just learned from Jiang Ci that you were injured, and it was…” Xiao Zhenqiao glanced at Tang Yaoyao and said coldly, “You injured your leg because of Miss Tang. You are the future of the Xiao family and will inherit the Xiao family’s business in the future. How can you injure your leg for a woman? It’s outrageous.”
Xiao Jinhan said, "Dad, Sixteen is my fiancée."
"What fiancée? Do you know her? Did I agree to it?" Xiao Zhenqiao accused, "Look at you, what have you become? You have no manly qualities at all. You listen to women in everything, just like Fu Jiang. You are my son, Xiao Zhenqiao's son. You should be like me."
Tang Yaoyao looked at them and asked, "What are the rules of the Xiao family...?"
"Women should listen to their husbands. Don't pretend to be some kind of doting husband all the time, saying things like 'This man is so sweet, I love him!' That kind of persona is just for fooling little girls," Xiao Zhenqiao said with great disdain.
Tang Yaoyao then fell silent, standing respectfully by the bed to leave a good impression on them.
Xiao Jinhan held Tang Yaoyao's hand: "Dad, this is between me and Sixteen. If you are tired, go back and rest with Mom. I'm fine."
"My son, please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself taking care of Jin Han," Madam Xiao instructed.
Tang Yaoyao said, "Okay, I will, don't worry."
Xiao Zhenqiao said, "They're not three-year-olds, they don't need your instructions. Hurry up and go."
The couple, one unable to forget, the other extremely indifferent, left in a grand and unrestrained manner.
Once outside, Xiao Zhenqiao was still very dissatisfied, nitpicking, "If this woman were to become Jin Han's wife, she'd be in for a rough time. She's too beautiful, and doesn't seem to have a good temper, yet Jin Han is so obedient to her. She's not like a man at all. This woman is not simple..."
