Chu Xin'er nodded in deep agreement: "That's true. With my brother Ye Sheng's foul mouth, only Shuling can stand him!"
Just then, Jin Xiangyu and Ye Yao, who had just returned from running errands outside, saw this truly "shocking" scene as soon as they entered the door.
There he was, his own third son, who was usually carefree and irresponsible, carrying the eldest daughter of the Shen family around in the yard, with a smug look on his face as if he had won the lottery!
Jin Xiangyu and Ye Yao were stunned. They stood dumbfounded at the door, carrying the things they had just bought, their jaws practically dropping to the ground.
"What...what's going on?"
Jin Xiangyu rubbed her eyes and asked her eldest son in disbelief.
Ye Yao frowned, looking confused: "I don't know either, Mom, did we come into the wrong house?"
"Mom! Big brother! You're back!"
Ye Nian'an, with her sharp eyes, was the first to spot them and immediately greeted them with a smile.
In just a few words, she vividly explained what had just happened.
Jin Xiangyu and Ye Yao were stunned and it took them a long time to process this information.
When Shen Shuling saw Jin Xiangyu and Ye Yao return, she was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
She struggled even harder, her voice trembling with tears: "Ye Sheng! Put me down! I'm so ashamed!"
Ye Sheng finally realized what he had done when he saw the shocked expressions on his mother's and older brother's faces.
He chuckled and finally put the person in his arms down.
As soon as Shen Shuling touched the ground, she immediately hid behind Leng Siqing like a startled rabbit, covering her face with her hands and not daring to look up.
Ye Sheng showed no embarrassment whatsoever.
He straightened his flashy floral shirt, then walked up to Jin Xiangyu and Ye Yao with his head held high, and solemnly announced again in an extremely proud and loud voice.
"Mom, brother, you both saw it!"
"Let me formally introduce you. This is Comrade Shen Shuling, your future daughter-in-law and sister-in-law! I, Ye Sheng, will marry no one but her in this lifetime!"
This resounding declaration was like a thunderclap, exploding in Jin Xiangyu's mind!
She was stunned for a full three seconds.
The next second, an overwhelming sense of ecstasy swept over her!
"Oh my God!"
This mother, who had been hoping for her troublesome son to get married for countless years, was so excited that tears were about to fall from her eyes!
Jin Xiangyu rushed to Shen Shuling and grabbed her hand.
"Good! Good! My good daughter-in-law!"
Jin Xiangyu held Shen Shuling's hand, looking her over from left to right, becoming more and more satisfied, her smile as bright as a blooming sunflower.
"Shuling, you are such a good girl! My rascal is so lucky to have found such a wonderful girl like you!"
"I'm telling you, don't be afraid of him! If he ever dares to bully you, tell Mom! Mom will teach him a lesson and beat him to a pulp!"
"Auntie...no...Auntie..."
Shen Shuling was completely bewildered by this sudden situation. Her face turned so red it could almost fry an egg, and she stammered, unable to utter a single word.
Jin Xiangyu didn't care about all that.
All she can think about now is arranging her son's wedding and having a grandson!
She held Shen Shuling tightly, becoming more and more excited as she spoke: "Shuling, it's settled then! You two are getting on in years. I think, once you graduate, Mom will have Asheng bring the betrothal gifts to your house to propose marriage!"
"Let's get this done in style! Let's try to get Mom to hold her grandson next year... no! The year after!"
"ah?!"
Upon hearing this, not only Shen Shuling but also Ye Sheng were stunned: "Mom! This...this is too fast!"
Shen Shuling was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly, and it took her a while to find her voice: "No, no, no! Auntie, you can't! You can't!"
"I...I haven't thought about getting married so early! I just graduated from university, I still want to...I still want to build my career!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Xiangyu not only did not object, but her eyes lit up. She clapped Shen Shuling's hand and praised her:
"It's good to have a career! You're ambitious! No wonder you're a college student, you have ideas! Mom supports you!"
This open-minded attitude surprised Shen Shuling.
Jin Xiangyu then changed the subject, her expression turning serious.
"Mom supports you in pursuing your career, but getting married and pursuing your career don't have to be mutually exclusive!"
"Especially since you just said that you're going to the South with this brat of ours, a lone man and woman going so far away. If this isn't proper and legitimate, how awful will it sound if word gets out?"
She looked at Shen Shuling earnestly, her eyes full of genuine care and protection: "Shuling, it's not that Mom is old-fashioned, it's just that Mom feels sorry for you!"
"I'm afraid my son, Asheng, will ruin your reputation as a young lady! If this matter isn't settled first, he's just being a scoundrel!"
"You two were hugging each other today, with so many people watching inside and outside the courtyard. If you don't get married, it will be really bad for your reputation!"
"Shuling, listen to your mother, this matter can't be delayed! Otherwise, it will be our Asheng who will hold you back! I can't let our Ye family do such an irresponsible thing!"
If your own son hugs another girl, what kind of person would you be if you didn't take responsibility?
Jin Xiangyu's attitude was very firm. She was not forcing her son into marriage, but rather using her own methods to protect her future daughter-in-law's reputation and force her son to take on the responsibilities of a man.
Seeing the atmosphere freeze again, Ye Nian'an smiled and stepped forward, gently persuading, "Mom, your concerns are valid, and we understand your good intentions."
"But think about it, times have changed. It will become more and more common for young people to go out and start businesses together. Moreover, the early stage of starting a business is the most critical time. If you rush into marriage now for the sake of reputation, what if there is pressure and conflict that affects your relationship and career? Wouldn't that be a loss?"
Ye Nian paused for a moment, then turned her gaze to Ye Sheng and said meaningfully.
"Why don't we trust Third Brother this time? Let him prove with his actions that he can protect Shuling and also make a name for himself."
"Once they've established themselves in the south and achieved success in their careers, then we can have a grand wedding. That would be the best of both worlds, leaving everyone speechless!"
Ye Sheng took a deep breath, stepped forward, and stood solemnly in front of Shen Shuling.
He was no longer joking around; his eyes were now filled with an unprecedented seriousness and determination.
