Chapter 722

Sister, wasn't the flight at ten? I and Bai Bing were just getting ready to pick it up—how did you arrive early? Wang Tianhe and his wife were about to go to the airport to pick up Wang Zhishan, but they didn't expect to run into her with a grim expression as soon as they stepped out the door, frightening him so much his legs trembled involuntarily.

Wang Zhishan narrowed her phoenix eyes, and with lightning speed grabbed Wang Tianhe's ear, snarling: "Wang Tianhe, Wang Tianhe, you've grown wings now! You're supposed to keep an eye on Minmin for me, but she's gotten pregnant, and I and your brother-in-law are still in the dark!"

Wang Tianhe endured the pain and shut the door, quickly defending himself: "Sister, this isn't my fault. Your daughter lives in a mansion every day, so to see her I have to make an appointment in advance. If it weren't for our family Bai Bing's keen eye noticing her odd eating habits, I'd be in the dark too."

Wang Zhishan snorted coldly: "As for the pregnancy, I'll let you off the hook for now—but the marriage? How do you explain that?"

Wang Tianhe gave Bai Bing a look, and she softly told Wang Zhishan: "Sister, this isn't Tianhe's fault either—it was all my idea."

Wang Zhishan glanced at Bai Bing, suppressing her rising anger, and said to her: "Sister-in-law, you can meddle in the Wang family's affairs all you want—I can't stop you. After all, you're the Wang family's officially wedded daughter-in-law. But sticking your nose into Chu family matters—aren't you overstepping?"

Bai Bing heard this and didn't get angry. She continued speaking gently: "Sister, I don't want to interfere in Chu family affairs. But Minmin is my niece after all—she ran into trouble in Modu, and as her aunt it wouldn't be right to ignore it."

Moreover, the Chu family opposed their relationship from the start. If you keep delaying, you'll end up watching Minmin give birth to a child with no name or status. That's probably not the outcome you'd want, is it?

Wang Zhishan hesitated, seeming to be swayed by Bai Bing's words, then said dissatisfiedly: "Even if you have to go through with the marriage, you should at least let me, the mother, know first. You've done a fait accompli, kept me in the dark, and now I'm put on the spot before my father-in-law."

Bai Bing saw Wang Zhishan's attitude soften and smiled: "Sister, if the Chu family investigates, the blame won't even reach you."

"Well, should I be thanking you then?" Wang Zhishan gave her an annoyed glance and released her grip on Tianhe's ear.

Freed, Wang Tianhe immediately hid behind Bai Bing and complained: "Sister, you're about to become a grandmother—can't you change your temper?"

"How?" Wang Zhishan's phoenix eyes swept over Tianhe's face like a blade, and she said expressionlessly: "Deputy Mayor Wang, are you trying to teach me how to be a person?"

Wang Tianhe said helplessly: "Sister, I don't mean that. Things have already happened, and the two kids get along well—there's no need to break them up."

Wang Zhishan snorted: "Did I say I wanted to break them up?"

Wang Tianhe let out a sigh of relief and told Wang Zhishan: "Sister, since you don't object, I'll call them now to let them know—so they don't make a pointless trip to the airport."

"No need," Wang Zhishan shook her head. "I've already arranged for someone to meet them at the airport. First, come with me to Qingfeng Shan Zhuang."

Wang Tianhe looked at his sister doubtfully and said: "Young people having a little tiff, with no serious consequences—do we adults really need to intervene?"

Wang Zhishan snorted: "I couldn't care less about whatever that Tang family brat's up to. I'm going just to ask Tang Zhenjiang how he raised such a good-for-nothing who only knows how to sneak snitches."

Wang Tianhe deeply agreed with his sister's assessment.

Meanwhile, as the two siblings headed to Qingfeng Shan Zhuang, Chen Yang and Chu Min also arrived at Modu Airport.

Regarding that ill-tempered mother-in-law, Chen Yang felt nervous all along. Being so tense, worried something might happen on the road, he directly let Chu Min take the wheel.

By contrast, Chu Min was completely at ease, humming a pop song leisurely while driving.

But when they arrived at the airport, they found Wang Zhishan had already left ahead of them—only a woman about fifty, dressed plainly, stood by the roadside anxiously watching with two suitcases.

Chu Min pulled up beside the woman, rolled down the passenger window, and asked: "Aunt Yun, how did you get here? Where's my mother?"

The woman called Aunt Yun immediately replied: "Miss, the mistress said she has something to attend to—go home and wait for her."

Chu Min, upon hearing that, opened the trunk and had her put the suitcases inside.

After the woman got in the car, Chu Min then introduced her to Chen Yang. It turned out this Aunt Yun was a nanny who had worked for the Chu family for over twenty years.

Chen Yang, hearing that, suddenly recalled something. After returning home, while that nanny Aunt Yun was putting the luggage in the guest room, he quietly asked Chu Min: "Honey, back when you had your accident, wasn't it this nanny who leaked the information? Why is she still here?"

Chu Min shook her head: "Before my accident, Aunt Yun quit to go back to her hometown due to family matters. After the accident, my mother called her back."

Chen Yang then finally understood.

Seeing this, Chu Min's mother clearly wanted to keep Aunt Yun in Modu to look after Chu Min's daily life.

Chen Yang had no objection to that. Although Chu Min can cook for herself, she's pregnant—having someone she trusts nearby to look after her puts his mind at ease.

Around eleven o'clock, Chen Yang finally met the legendary overbearing mother-in-law.

When she saw Chen Yang, Wang Zhishan's eyes were icy. She fired off several questions at him.

"Are you still tangled with that Chu Ning girl?"

"No, after I got together with Minmin I haven't contacted her at all."

"What if she reaches out to you?"

"I'm Chu Min's husband now—I believe she wouldn't do something so pointless, and I wouldn't do anything to betray her."

"Good. I hope you remember what I just said."

Wang Zhishan didn't say anything more, had Aunt Yun tidy the guest room, and then went to rest.

Passing the test so easily left Chen Yang feeling a bit unaccustomed.

As they lay down to sleep, he asked Chu Min: "I feel your mother isn't that hard to get along with—why is your uncle so afraid of her?"

Chu Min laughed: "My uncle's been beaten since he was little—of course he's afraid of her. But don't get too excited early on—I've gotten my share of beatings growing up too."

Chen Yang was quite speechless. He felt that the Chu family people all liked to solve problems with force. From Chu Ning, Chu Zhengfeng to the Chu family patriarch, now also Chu Min's mother.

As for Chu Min, when she gets jealous she also acts like a little wildcat.
