Chapter 159
However, when the other party invited them into the house, they agreed without hesitation.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding," Uncle apologized repeatedly. "I was on the phone and didn't hear it. Xiaoxi was playing games. Come on, Xiaoxi, apologize to your aunt and cousin."
The house is newly renovated, with a hollowed-out half-wall separating the kitchen and living room, making the view more open and spacious.
Xiao Xi inherited his uncle's big eyes and fair skin. The house was heated, and he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with his hair dyed blue-black.
"Auntie, I was playing games inside and didn't hear you. I'm sorry."
"It's alright, it's alright. We'll open the door a little later. It's no big deal," Jiang's mother said with a laugh.
Shen Yi'an paused, and Lin Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. This mother, tsk, really doesn't understand the situation. If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't associate with each other anymore.
After all, they had just finished arguing with someone, and then Jiang's mother said it was no big deal...
Even if we take a step back, Jiang's mother didn't want to escalate the situation. At the very least, she wanted to give both sides a way out, rather than directly implying that they were being unreasonable, although Jiang's mother didn't mean that.
Shen Yi'an felt uncomfortable, but what could he do when Jiang's mother had given birth to such a good daughter? He could only pretend he hadn't heard anything.
When Uncle heard what Aunt Jiang said, he glanced at Mr. Shen with trepidation, but seeing that his expression did not change, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's strange, though. Outside the door, he could sense that Mr. Shen had a bad temper, but when he was with Aunt Jiang, he suddenly turned from a lion into a harmless white rabbit.
I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I can even see that Mr. Shen is trying to curry favor with Jiang’s mother.
Yes, if they spoke out because they couldn't stand it in the first place, they should have left now that Jiang's mother doesn't appreciate their efforts, or at the very least, they should be a little angry.
Merchants don't get up early for nothing. Uncle guessed that Mr. Shen was something of Tu Jiang's mother, but he couldn't guess what it was.
It's not his fault; after all, Jiang You isn't as good-looking as his Xiao Xi, so naturally he wouldn't think of Jiang You if there was no profit to be made.
Uncle: "The rice is almost cooked. Jiangyou's mother, please stay for dinner."
He guessed Mr. Shen's thoughts. Regardless of whether Mr. Shen was deliberately giving a signal, starting with Jiang's mother was definitely the right move.
Seeing Jiang's mother smile and nod in agreement, the uncle's wrinkles instantly deepened into deep furrows. He turned to the side and said, "Mr. Chen and this gentleman haven't had lunch yet, have they? Would you do me the honor of staying for a simple meal? We just slaughtered an old hen, and there's mushroom soup simmering on the stove."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi'an glanced at the girl in the corner, who was glaring at him, indicating her refusal.
Her smile widened, and a light-colored beauty mark was revealed when the corner of her eye lifted slightly, making her look alluring and seductive: "Then I'll trouble you."
Jiang You: "..."
Since there was still some time before dinner, Shen Yi'an obliged to chat with them.
Interestingly, when Uncle talked directly to Shen Yi'an, Shen Yi'an remained silent with a half-smile. Only after Uncle and Aunt Jiang finished talking and Aunt Jiang came to ask him a question would Shen Yi'an respond.
They elevated Jiang's mother to the highest level.
Jiang You's gaze first fell on the gold earring on her mother's earlobe. It seemed to be the one her mother bought when she was in junior high school, and she hadn't bought a new one since.
As she thought this, her gaze slowly moved upwards, stopping at her mother's smiling face, the lines at the corners of her eyes brimming with laughter.
The wariness that arose from Shen Yi'an, like a young animal guarding its territory, was now being soothed by this smile. The tightness in his chest gradually softened, like a dandelion in his hand having its thorns gently blown away by a breeze.
Well, I'm really grateful to Shen Yi'an for letting her see how her uncle tries to please her mother.
So this is the power that money brings? It's certainly fascinating.
But all of this stems from superpowers, which carry the risk of disappearing at any moment.
