Pushing Zhu Yiyun along, the group sat down at the dinner table.
Although Jiang Ning felt he was still young, he was at least twenty-five or twenty-six.
Once at the dinner table, the topics of conversation among parents and chairpersons are limited to just a few.
With Yang Xingsui as a spy, they weren't actually worried about Jiang Ning's work. Besides, they trusted Jiang Ning's abilities because of their own daughter.
Even if Jiang Ning wasn't with Yang Xingsui, they believed he could make a name for himself.
"Ningning, you're not getting any younger now. Do you have a suitable partner? If so, bring him back so we can meet him."
Jiang Ning had anticipated this scene ever since he started preparing to go home, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"Not yet. If I did, would I not bring it back?"
Although Jiang Ning has someone she likes, they haven't confirmed their relationship, so of course she can't bring him home. But she can't bring herself to lie to her parents, so she has to tell them the truth.
However, Zhu Yiyun knows her daughter very well.
Although she didn't say anything, judging from her expression, she could tell that things were definitely not that simple.
But Jiang Ning insisted that there was no such thing, so Zhu Yiyun had no choice but to send Jiang Hong away.
Jiang Ning has always been closer to her since childhood, so it's probably Jiang Hong who's making her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Ningning, tell Mom the truth, do you have a girl you like?"
It's already a blessing that Jiang Ning can come home. They no longer expect her to bring her boyfriend home, but even if he isn't her boyfriend, they hope that someone will be with her.
Jiang Ning was taken aback by Zhu Yiyun's question.
She thought that as long as she didn't say anything, they wouldn't know.
But now it seems that even if she tries to hide it, Zhu Yiyun can tell.
"I haven't even said anything yet, and Mom already figured it out."
Jiang Ning smiled when he thought of Yan Keyi.
Everyone says that Director Jiang Ning always has a cold face and is a cold-faced boss, but in fact, her cold face is very similar to that of her father, Jiang Hong, to a certain extent.
But when she smiles, it really reduces her coldness to a great extent.
Originally, Zhu Yiyun wasn't sure, but this explosion brought it all out in the open.
"So you really do have a girl you like. What does she look like? Let Mom see her."
Upon hearing Zhu Yiyun's words, Jiang Ning realized that Zhu Yiyun hadn't been sure before, but now she had truly brought it up.
I felt that Zhu Yiyun's current attitude meant she really didn't object anymore, so after thinking about it, I decided to tell her.
Jiang Ning believed that Zhu Yiyun would not harm Yan Keyi.
"This little girl is so cute. Ningning must be very happy with her."
Jiang Ning showed Zhu Yiyun the wallpaper from his own phone.
She didn't actually have any photos with Yan Keyi, and even this photo was taken secretly by her. But Yan Keyi in the photo is well-behaved and cute, the kind of girl that elders would like.
As expected, Zhu Yiyun expressed her liking for the photo after seeing it.
In the past, Zhu Yiyun might have disliked it, but now, as long as Jiang Ning can bring people back, they don't care anymore.
"She's really cute, but I haven't confessed my feelings to her yet."
Jiang Ning was actually happy that the person she liked was approved of by her mother. However, her relationship with Yan Keyi was still far from over, so what right did she have to bring her home to meet her parents?
Jiang Ning seemed happy just a moment ago, but when the topic came up, she looked a little dejected, which made Zhu Yiyun a little worried.
As the saying goes, a tiger father begets no dog son. Although Jiang Ning is a daughter, she is truly no less than her father, Jiang Hong. From childhood to adulthood, she has always been the most outstanding. When have we ever seen her so forlorn?
Jiang Ning originally didn't want to talk about it, but seeing that Zhu Yiyun was worried because of her, Jiang Ning thought she might as well just let it go and gritted her teeth and told Zhu Yiyun about her relationship with Yan Keyi.
After hearing Jiang Ning's words, Zhu Yiyun fell silent for a moment.
She had considered why Jiang Ning didn't dare to confess, but she never imagined it would be for this reason, nor did she expect that they met because of this.
Before Jiang Ning came out, their family rarely had any major conflicts. Jiang Ning had always grown up under their protection.
Admittedly, Jiang Ning's great achievements are due to her own strong abilities, but without the protection of the Jiang family, even with her abilities, she might not have had that opportunity.
As a mother, Zhu Yiyun finds it hard to imagine that any parents would not love their child.
Zhu Yiyun felt a pang of sympathy for Yan Keyi's plight. After all, she was his daughter, and Zhu Yiyun roughly understood why Jiang Ning was unwilling to confess his feelings.
We hadn't known each other for very long, and it was a foster care arrangement. Besides, I didn't really know his sexual orientation.
If he confesses his feelings rashly, the young girl might get together with Jiang Ning out of gratitude, or perhaps because she can't distinguish between liking him and being grateful, which would actually be bad for both of them.
But if Jiang Ning continues to silently take care of that little girl, even if it's done willingly by her, as a mother, she will feel heartache.
However, Zhu Yiyun also knew very well that her daughter was extremely stubborn, and once she had made up her mind to do something, it would be very difficult for them to change her mind.
"But even so, you can still bring her back for dinner. Are you just going to leave her alone at home while you're on leave? Just bring her back next time."
Zhu Yiyun thought for a long time before saying those words.
She couldn't change her daughter's mind, so she could only support her.
What good would it do if she didn't support him? If she didn't support him, it would make things awkward for everyone, and they might cut off all contact with each other, which is what she doesn't want to see.
Upon hearing Zhu Yiyun's words, Jiang Ning couldn't stop her tears.
Over the years, Jiang Ning had been wondering if his refusal to back down would hurt them both. But he realized that no matter what, his parents were the first to back down.
Seeing Jiang Ning cry, Zhu Yiyun felt even worse. Although it was inconvenient for her to move around in a wheelchair, she still pushed the wheelchair to Jiang Ning's side and hugged her.
"Mom, thank you."
The bond between family members can no longer be measured by a few words of thanks, but Jiang Ning is truly grateful to them from the bottom of his heart. Without their nurturing, Jiang Ning would not be who he is today.
However, Zhu Yiyun's words also gave Jiang Ning some inspiration. Although she couldn't bring Yan Keyi home as her girlfriend, she could lure Yan Keyi home as her older sister. As for her parents, as long as things were agreed upon beforehand, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
Moreover, once Zhu Yiyun is dealt with, Jiang Hong shouldn't have such a difficult time getting through.
Jiang Ning still hoped that Zhu Yiyun would keep it a secret for the time being, and Zhu Yiyun agreed.
After all, if Jiang Hong, that doting father, knew that Jiang Ning was making sacrifices behind the scenes, he might find it hard to accept.
