Chapter 226 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
After Lin Miao and Shao Mushi went upstairs and entered their room, Shao Muyan asked, "What's wrong? What's the cause of this argument?"
"Your second brother, the king of sentimentality, is getting jealous again."
Madam Shao pursed her lips and said to Yu Yan, "Yan Yan, don't be afraid. The second son is often unreasonable like this, we're used to it. It's okay, Miao Miao can handle him, he'll be fine in a little while."
"..." Yu Yan could see that in Madam Shao's eyes, all the mistakes were her son's fault.
My daughter-in-law is smart and reasonable, what could she possibly do wrong?
Sigh, they're all mothers-in-law; look at their level of understanding.
There is a world of difference in cultivation and kindness between Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Shao.
Mrs. Shao and Yu Wanqiao had just gone out to find out what was going on. The story was simple: Lin Miao ran into her ex-husband during a foreign affairs job and had to communicate with him because of work. When Shao Mushi went to pick Lin Miao up from get off work, he happened to see her ex-husband touch Lin Miao's hair and immediately exploded, almost getting into a fight with him.
Lin Miao immediately protected Shao Mushi, pulled him away, and tried to explain and coax him in a gentle manner. However, Shao Mushi became more and more enthusiastic in the end, successfully angering Lin Miao.
The two argued all the way to their doorstep.
At the door, Shao Mushi, with red eyes and a wronged expression, complained to Madam Shao and Yu Wanqiao, "Mom, sister-in-law, she just kicked me. Look, the shoe print is still there."
Pointing to the "evidence," Shao Mushi accused Lin Miao: "This is domestic violence!"
Lin Miao was also furious and said to Madam Shao and Yu Wanqiao, "Mom, sister-in-law, I didn't mean to, but he's so annoying. He keeps mentioning He Xiaoran, and I don't want to hear his name at all!"
"Hey, didn't you just mention that yourself?"
Shao Mushi seized on the loophole in Lin Miao's words and snorted, "You told me not to mention it, but you called him that quite smoothly yourself, didn't you? I think you haven't forgotten He Xiaoran at all, you were smiling so happily at him."
It was that last sentence that completely enraged Lin Miao.
"Don't you think he's just bored and making a fuss over nothing?"
As soon as Mr. Shao came out, Mrs. Shao began to scold their son to her husband. Mr. Shao listened with a sullen face and said, "He doesn't know how lucky he is. I'll teach him a lesson."
No one knows how Shao Mushi coaxed Lin Miao, but after a while, Lin Miao's expression had improved a lot and she was no longer so cold and aloof.
Lin Miao has a cool and aloof beauty with a snow-like temperament. When she is not speaking, she has a distant feeling that makes people afraid to approach her. But when she smiles, it is like ice and snow melting, and it is like a spring breeze.
As soon as Lin Miao came down, she apologized to everyone, walked over and shook the old lady's hand, bowed and said, "Please don't take offense."
Mr. and Mrs. Shao glared at Shao Mushi together.
Shao Mushi also bowed in apology, scratched his head, and smiled sheepishly.
Looking at Shao Mushi sitting close to Lin Miao, Yu Yan inexplicably thought of the Golden Retriever, feeling that her second sister-in-law was also a dog training master.
It was a minor incident, but it didn't affect the overall atmosphere, and things quickly became harmonious again.
However, this little incident allowed Yu Yan to see more things that she wouldn't normally see. When conflicts occur, it's actually easier to see the different personalities and ways of handling problems between people.
To Yu Yan's surprise and relief, when Lin Miao and Shao Mushi argued, neither Mrs. Shao nor Chairman Shao sided with their son, but spoke up for their daughter-in-law.
Regardless of whose fault it is, from a daughter-in-law's perspective, encountering such reasonable and supportive in-laws would greatly reduce her anger towards her husband.
The atmosphere during the meal was also very pleasant.
Mr. and Mrs. Shao greatly respected the Yu family elders, frequently toasting them during the meal, and remarking that without Mr. Yu's guidance and Mrs. Yu's care, Shao Muyan would not be where he is today.
They reminisced about the scene when Shao Muyan became an apprentice, and more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye.
“Ah Yan has had a clear goal since she was a child: to become a scientist. She has a particularly lofty ambition: to become a scientist like Professor Yu.”
When Mr. Shao talked about his youngest son, his face was full of pride. He then smiled and said to Old Master Yu, "Your master is someone he truly sought out himself. To be honest, when we sent the child to your door back then, his mother and I were trembling with fear."
Madam Shao nodded vigorously.
"I'm a worldly person, but when I walked in, my legs were really trembling."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Really?" Academician Yu smiled kindly. "I didn't notice."
"have."
Shao Muyan confirmed on behalf of his parents, "Back then, you and your wife were living in a small house in the old school district. When we went in, the room was full of books. After returning home, my father lamented that he used to think he was someone important, but in front of real academic masters, he realized that he was nothing but a money-grubber."
After saying this, Shao's father blushed with embarrassment. Academician Yu patted Shao's father's hand and said, "I know how difficult your journey has been."
Mr. Shao's eyes were slightly red as he tilted his head back and downed a glass of wine.
Yu Yan sat next to Shao Muyan, listening to the elders chat about the past. Memories surfaced in her mind, carrying the flavor of her childhood.
Even though there was plenty of space between the seats, Shao Muyan unknowingly moved closer to her, his legs intentionally or unintentionally touching hers, and he even tried to pull her hand.
Yu Yan gently broke free and warned him to behave himself.
Shao Muyan smiled and took her hand again, pointing in a direction. Yu Yan looked over and found that Shao Mushi and Lin Miao were already close together.
Shao Mushi even had one hand on Lin Miao's back, massaging her waist.
On the other side, Mr. and Mrs. Shao were signing their papers under the table. Seeing the husband's turbulent emotions today, Mrs. Shao kept stroking the back of his hand to comfort him.
So it turns out, it's all a case of the superiors influencing the subordinates.
The way parents love each other is the best example of love they can provide for their children, and Yu Yan now understands this.

After the meal, Yu Yan was led into the room by Mrs. Shao.
This time, she went into her own room.
Mrs. Shao's room was very elegant and antique. There was a piano by the window, oil paintings on the wall, a film camera on the side table, and a photo wall covered with photos of her and her family and friends.
How romantic!
Yu Yan paused to admire the scene for a moment, and saw what the three Shao brothers looked like from childhood to adulthood.
The three brothers each have their own unique temperament and style.
"So, which of my three sons do you think is the most handsome?" Madam Shao walked over and teased Yu Yan.
Yu Yan didn't say anything formal or polite. "They're both handsome, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In my eyes, Yan-ge is definitely the most handsome."
Mrs. Shao laughed and said, "Oh, now you don't call him Uncle Yan anymore, you call him Brother Yan instead?"
Yu Yan blushed, "Aunt Qiu..."
"Haha, just kidding."
Madam Shao took out a wooden box and handed it to Yu Yan: "Open it and take a look."
Yu Yan was taken aback. She opened the wooden box, inside which was a clear and beautiful jade bracelet.
