Chapter 343: Seeing Others Through Him

"Go, go home?"

He stuttered shamefully.

"That's right," Si Rong looked at him, appearing completely matter-of-fact, "I am already your girlfriend now, don't you plan to take me to meet your family?"

"It should be so."

But Jiang Cheng felt his younger brother was too crude and spoke without thinking, so he said, "Then I will go home first to prepare, and come pick you up in the evening."

"Good, it just so happens I need to prepare as well."

"Coming home later?" Hu Qian was shocked, "Is it Si Rong?"

"Yes," after Jiang Cheng gave a brief explanation, he returned to his own room; he had to ensure everything was perfectly in order.

That small box could no longer be left on the desk; it had to be put away.

After checking every part of the house, he specifically instructed Jiang Yu that he must keep his mouth shut, otherwise, there would be no mercy.

Jiang Yu:......

Jiang Cheng had barely left when Hu Qian slapped her thigh, "It's ruined, it's ruined!"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Aiguo was confused, "Aren't you always hoping our eldest son would bring home a daughter-in-law for you?"

"What do you know," Hu Qian glared at him, "Si Rong is the youngest daughter of the Si Family; she was supposed to get married at Zuiyun Lou two days ago, but it was cancelled that very day."

"Tell me, could it be that your good son was the one who sabotaged it?"

"He snatched someone else's bride away and made her his own girlfriend?"

Jiang Aiguo pondered for a moment, "Since the wedding was cancelled, she isn't his wife yet! If she is willing to come home with our son now, then she is our son's girlfriend!"

This logic was absolutely perfect!

Hu Qian:......

"It's all inherited from you, always fighting and snatching!" Hu Qian recalled the past, "Back then I was already betrothed to Brother Zhuzi, and wasn't it you who..."

"That's because I have the ability!"

"The ability to be shameless?" Hu Qian was somewhat worried, "I just don't want our son to be a third party who ruins someone else's marriage, in case it affects his future."

Jiang Yu:......

"I don't think my brother counts as a third party; he liked this girl back in college,"

But Hu Qian had no patience to hear him finish, only concerned with her surprise, "So he started being a third party back in college... Heavens!"

She pointed at Jiang Aiguo, "Look! I thought your eldest son was a good one, but I never expected him to be just like you, full of devious tricks. He claims the army training is busy all day, yet he still has time to flirt with someone else's young girl. Truly a misfortune for our family,......"

"Mom!" Jiang Yu heard the commotion outside the door and hurriedly reminded her, "They're already here!"

Hu Qian swallowed the rest of her words, then instantly put on a smiling face, and the family went out to welcome them.

"They're here?" Hu Qian felt a start in her heart; the girl before her was truly too beautiful, with a pair of moist apricot eyes that seemed to speak, and she smiled at everyone, looking very auspicious.

No wonder her son would act as a third party; Jiang Aiguo was right, if they aren't married, it doesn't count as meddling; her son was just pursuing a girl normally.

Then the girl in front of her was her daughter-in-law.

Her hands felt so soft; for so many years she had always had a regret in her heart, which was that she hadn't been able to give birth to a daughter.

Now, she would have one immediately.

"Come into the house and sit for a while!" she greeted enthusiastically.

Jiang Cheng rarely saw his mother like this, "I'm not tired."

It was just a bit of extra walking; it was much easier than his usual training.

Hu Qian spared a glance at him in the spare moment, then went back to wholeheartedly attending to Si Rong.

Honestly, his mother's tone was a bit affected.

"Brother, honestly, how did your relationship progress so rapidly?"

Jiang Yu pulled his brother into his room, "Don't tell me that pure-hearted act you put on in front of your little brother was all fake?"

"Hmm? Inciting a girl to break off her engagement? Then go find you? And now she's even coming home with you?"

Isn't he quite capable?

He was pretending he didn't know how to pursue girls, hypocritically asking for his advice, and then turned around and brought back such a sister-in-law.

Hmph! Jiang Yu felt he had been deceived by his own brother.

"I'm angry."

He, the 'master', hadn't even managed to win his own wife yet!

"Oh," Jiang Cheng had no intention of talking more with him.

If he was angry, then he could only stay angry.

He knew clearly in his heart that the current situation had nothing to do with him at all; it was Si Rong who was leading it.

Therefore, she must have experienced some major change.

Today was Si Rong's first time at the house; he was afraid Si Rong would feel uncomfortable with his parents, so he closed the door and went out, considerately leaving his brother alone in the room to be angry.

Jiang Yu:......

He was angry!

He was still suspicious about how his brother managed to win over his sister-in-law.

A beauty like his sister-in-law should be very hard to pursue; his brother was truly deep and calculating!

What was beyond Jiang Cheng's expectation was that Si Rong was chatting happily with his parents, even more warmly than he chatted with them himself.

It wasn't the stiff small talk of a first meeting; they chatted back and forth, very naturally, as if they had been familiar with each other for a long time.

Hu Qian had invited her younger sister to help cook; she had never been skilled in the kitchen, and two sons were one thing, but she didn't want her cooking to scare off the daughter-in-law visiting for the first time.

Besides that, she also had Jiang Aiguo go to the State-run Hotel to pack a few dishes.

The daughter of the Si Family has naturally eaten everything, but the preparation of a meal is about the sincerity behind it.

Thus, over a dozen dishes were laid out, filling the entire table.

"This is too lavish!" Si Rong looked at her parents-in-law in their youth and felt only affection; besides, her mother-in-law was just too beautiful when she was young.

It was no wonder they could give birth to two such handsome sons.

"I just made whatever, try it and see if it suits your taste," Hu Qian said, using clean chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork for her.

The braised pork melted in her mouth, and Si Rong tasted that this was the flavor of the State-run Hotel.

If Hu Qian had made it, it should have been black.

"It's delicious."

Si Rong ate the white rice in her bowl in small bites and subconsciously called out, "Mom, you eat too!"

As soon as this form of address left her lips, everyone at the table was shocked by her once again.

Si Rong was shocked herself; this time she hadn't meant to flirt with Jiang Cheng, it had truly just been a slip of the tongue.

Habit really is a terrifying thing.

"Alright, Mom will eat too!" Hu Qian was moved by this sincere and sweet "Mom."

Look at that! No wonder everyone says daughters are good; a daughter is a mother's little padded jacket.

The two biological sons sitting here didn't think to tell her to eat quickly, it had to be the daughter-in-law.

Jiang Cheng chewed a mouthful of rice countless times; after Si Rong called her "Mom" just now, she had glanced at him with some embarrassment, and that look made Jiang Cheng feel as if Si Rong were looking through him at someone else.
