Jona's mother was taken aback. "Brother, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."
"I said Nana and Zuo Zuo might not end up together."
Jona's mother was displeased upon hearing this. "Why? What's wrong with my Nana? My Nana hasn't complained about them yet, but they're complaining about my Nana."
"Don't get agitated. This is just my guess. Maybe...maybe I'm wrong."
"You guessed?"
"Um."
"How could you guess like that? Nana is your own niece."
"It's because Nana is my own niece that I'm speaking my mind. After Tongtong came back, I asked her about her day. After asking, I thought about it and realized that Nana might not be used to living at Zuozuo's house."
"That's why I told them to move out after they get married."
"I heard from Tongtong that Zuozuo's family is very united."
Jona's mother pursed her lips. "Of course they're united when there are outsiders around."
"No. Tongtong said that her family is united from the bottom of their hearts."
"How long has Tongtong been at their house? How can she tell if they're truly united or just pretending?"
"Well... in short, you need to be mentally prepared."
"No, brother, why do they look down on my Nana?"
Zuo Zuo's boss thought for a moment. "Ask Nana if she felt out of place at Zuo Zuo's house."
"Well... Nana doesn't really like their family."
"Since you don't like him, then when Zuo Zuo tells Nana that his mother doesn't approve of them being together, Nana should take the opportunity to break up with Zuo Zuo."
Jona's mother couldn't accept it. "Brother, how do you know his mother won't agree?"
“Little sister, I didn’t want to say this. But you kept asking, so I’ll tell you. Although it was Nana’s first time visiting, Zuo Zuo’s grandparents, parents and other family members were all working in the vegetable garden. Didn’t Nana offer to help them with anything?”
"Nana doesn't know how to grow vegetables."
"Whether it's possible or not is one thing, but it's another. I asked Tongtong, and Zuozuo's mother hardly ever talks to Nana."
"What could someone who has never worked a day in her life possibly say to Nana?"
"Although he has never worked a regular job, he owns several companies."
"What? Start a company?"
"Um."
Why didn't you say so before?
“I heard from Zuo Zuo that his younger brother is now in charge of his family’s company, so I didn’t tell you.”
"Wow... his family is so rich, how come they don't even hire a nanny?"
"They might not like having outsiders in their home."
"Brother, will Zuo Zuo's mother really object?"
"Judging from Nana's behavior and Zuo Zuo's mother's attitude towards Nana, Zuo Zuo's mother will probably object."
"What about Zuo Zuo? He can't just break up with Nana because his mother objects, can he?"
“I asked Tongtong, and she said that Zuozuo’s older brother, sister-in-law, younger brother, and younger sister all respect Zuozuo’s mother. So…” Zuozuo’s leader paused for a moment, “Zuozuo should also respect his mother.”
"If that's the case, then..."
"Talk to Nana. Let her prepare mentally."
"All right."
"That's settled then."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Na's mother told Qiao Na what Zuo Zuo's boss had said.
Jona thought her uncle was worrying unnecessarily. But… “Does his mother really own several companies?”
"That's what your uncle said."
"That must have been started through his father's connections."
"Maybe. What would you do if Zuo Zuo broke up with you?"
Jona smiled. "Don't listen to my uncle's nonsense. His mother doesn't talk to me just to put on airs."
"What if your uncle guesses correctly?"
"Then let's split it."
Jona spoke casually, but when Zuo Zuo actually told Jona the truth, Jona's expression changed instantly. "Why? What did I do wrong?"
Zuo Zuo looked at Qiao Na and said, "You're very nice. But I don't think you like the atmosphere in my house."
What's the atmosphere like in your home?
"Um."
Jona chuckled. "Is it your mother who doesn't like me?"
“It has nothing to do with my mother. This is my own decision.”
Jona didn't believe her. "You're such a good son to your mother. You do whatever she tells you to do."
Zuo Zuo frowned slightly. "I said, this is my own decision."
Jona stared at Zuo Zuo and asked, "Why? Just because I didn't help your grandparents grow vegetables?"
"Jona, I really don't think you're suitable to marry into our family."
"Then who would be suitable? Tongtong?"
"Jona, this is between the two of us."
"Hehe! Tongtong didn't mind that your kids' hands were covered in mud that day, and she even offered to help your grandparents plant vegetables. Does your mother like a daughter-in-law like that? Since you listen to your mother so much, are you planning to marry Tongtong and make her your mother's daughter-in-law?" Qiao Na became more and more angry as she spoke. "Then I'll be your matchmaker."
After saying that, Jona took her phone out of her bag.
Zuo Zuo immediately said, "Qiao Na, this is between the two of us. Also, Tong Tong is your sister."
Jona said as she dialed the phone, "I'm only talking to her because she's my sister."
Zuo Zuo didn't want to involve Tong Tong, but she couldn't fight with Qiao Na either.
A moment later, the call connected.
Tongtong's voice came through the phone. "Sister."
Jona hummed in agreement. "Tongtong, I have to tell you, I broke up with my boyfriend."
"Huh?! Sis, didn't you just go to his house?"
Qiao Na looked at Zuo Zuo and Tong Tong and said, "They broke up because she went to his house."
"Huh?! Sis, why?"
"Because his mother didn't like me, he broke up with me."
"ah?!"
"His mother likes you just the way you are."
"Ah? Sis, I..."
Before Tongtong could finish speaking, Qiao Na continued, "Do you like him? If you do, then I'll introduce you to him. But let me give you a heads-up: the day his mother stops liking you, he'll break up with you immediately. In his heart, his mother's words are law."
Tongtong felt that Qiao Na's emotions were very unstable. "Sister, where are you now? I'll come find you."
"Okay." After telling Tongtong the address, Qiao Na hung up the phone.
Zuo Zuo rubbed her forehead. "Qiona, let me take you home."
Qiao Na looked at Zuo Zuo provocatively and said, "Doesn't your mother like someone like Tong Tong? Tong Tong will be here soon. I want to see if Tong Tong dares to associate with someone like you who treats her mother's words as gospel."
Zuo Zuo looked at Qiao Na and said, "Qiao Na, you need to calm down right now."
"I am very calm now."
“Jona…”
Zuo Zuo tried to persuade Qiao Na a few more times, but Qiao Na wouldn't listen at all.
Twenty minutes later, Tongtong walked in from outside. "Sister."
As soon as Qiao Na saw Tongtong, she went over and pulled Tongtong to Zuo Zuo's side. "Tongtong, do you dare to marry him? If you dare, he will marry you right away."
