Chapter 1695: Meeting the Prospective Daughter-in-law

As Jian Yixin's status was that of an elder sister, these words were very inappropriate.

She regretted it the moment she finished speaking and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Wan'er, I didn't mean it that way."

Wan'er's personality was just like her name; she didn't say anything even when she felt wronged, and even smiled to show her understanding.

But Jian Yining wouldn't have it; he could be bullied, but his wife could not.

He immediately retorted: "What era is this to still be distinguishing between boys and girls? What's wrong with girls in our family? Every one of them is a hero, and none of them are any worse than boys."

"Don't say the Jian Family has no throne to inherit, even if it did! Our three daughters would have no problem; they could all inherit the throne..."

The expressions on everyone's faces were very rich; some were covering their faces.

Some were speechless.

That's right, the three daughters in Jian Yining's family were all stronger than boys... strong in every aspect!

Since they were little, they climbed trees and roofs, and when fighting with boys, they could take on three at once!

Not only could they cause trouble, but they were also absolute top students in their studies.

They were too strong, so strong that they didn't have a single feminine trait.

With one sentence from his sister, he brought out a whole heap of words; Jian Yixin softened her stance and hurriedly agreed that her younger brother was right.

After saying that, she used the excuse of not feeling well to leave, and then everyone else dispersed; a gathering that hadn't happened in a long time ended unhappily.

Weekend.

Moli brought his girlfriend home.

Su Qiangying had prepared quite a few gifts, and just like the last time she went to Litian's home, she carried them all herself.

Jian Yixin had prepared a sumptuous meal at home to welcome her son's girlfriend.

Even if she didn't have a very good impression of Su Qiangying before meeting her, she still had to maintain basic courtesy; she had to do what she was supposed to do before she could justify finding fault with others.

Before coming over, Su Qiangying had almost been nagged to death by Moli.

For the past two days, Moli had been like Tang Seng, muttering incessantly in his girlfriend's ear.

He had introduced his family's situation, basically tracing back five hundred years, eighteen generations of ancestors, collateral relatives, and friendships... and not just once!

He even told her such private matters as him not being born to his mother, and that his mother had adopted him because she was infertile.

And when he was little, his mother had risked her life against human traffickers for him, and had cared for him in every possible way...

These little details moved Su Qiangying deeply.

She was strong-willed, but she wasn't unreasonable.

Su Qiangying was moved by Jian Yixin's great maternal love; she felt that Moli's mother had not had it easy.

Putting herself in her shoes, if it were her own son whom she had raised with such care, she would also be very nervous!

So she understood, and expressed her willingness to get along harmoniously with Moli's mother; she would treat his mother as well as she treated her own.

Moli did not let his guard down and repeatedly urged his girlfriend: don't be too overbearing during the first meeting, let his mother have her way in everything, and when the two of them were alone, he would listen to her on everything.

He also said that they would spend the rest of their lives together, and that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wouldn't see each other much, so just endure it and it would pass...

Under Moli's brainwashing-style education, Su Qiangying agreed to everything, and only then did he feel relieved enough to bring his girlfriend home—though he felt relieved a bit too early.

The doorbell rang, and Jian Yixin jumped up by reflex to open the door, but after jumping up, she sat back down.

She called to the nanny: "Sister Li, go open the door."

Today was the day her son's girlfriend was coming; she had to maintain her composure and not lose her dignity.

Sheng Zerong pointed at her with his finger: "You, I told you so much yesterday, and you didn't listen to a single word."

Last night, he had also taken precautions and repeatedly urged his wife to be more amiable today; since it was Moli's girlfriend's first visit, she must not be too overbearing, because if she hurt their son's heart, it would be too late to regret it.

Jian Yixin had promised to do well, but now that the person was really coming up, she was ready to strike a high tone again.

Reminded by her husband, she remembered what she had promised yesterday, so she stood up and followed her husband to the door to welcome them!

The door opened, and she saw her son standing in front and the girl standing behind, carrying quite a few gifts in her hands, and she couldn't help but reveal a smile.

She smiled, not because the girl brought gifts on her first visit, but because the girl was carrying the things herself and hadn't let Moli carry them, which showed that she was a girl who knew how to care for others.

"Welcome, welcome, just coming is enough, why bring gifts? You're too polite."

She said the other party was being polite, but in reality, what she said was just polite talk; if Su Qiangying hadn't brought anything, even if she didn't say it out loud, she would have mocked the girl in her heart for not knowing etiquette.

Su Qiangying said with a smile: "Hello Uncle, hello Auntie. Moli said there's nothing missing at home, so I didn't bring much, just a little token of my heart; I hope Uncle and Auntie won't mind."

"Come in quickly. We originally wanted to go to the school to pick you two up, but unfortunately I twisted my waist yesterday, and Moli's dad was taking care of me, so we didn't go; it must have been hard for you to take the bus from so far away..."

This sentence from Jian Yixin had several layers of meaning.

One, I am old and my body isn't what it used to be, so don't count on me for too much in the future.

Two, it's not that I don't value you, don't be picky.

Three, I am very thoughtful and polite, so you figure out how to act.

She was indeed older and meticulous; her words were airtight. Su Qiangying was young after all and didn't think that deeply; she even felt that Moli's mother still valued her very much, and that her temper had been a bit too quick when she got angry in front of everyone a few days ago, which was somewhat inappropriate.

She said: "The bus is very convenient, how could I dare to trouble you to pick me up in person? Is your waist feeling better? If you don't mind, I've learned some massage techniques, let me rub it for you."

"No need, no need, it's already much better. Good child, come in quickly, don't talk at the door."

Jian Yixin signaled for her husband to take the gifts, ushered Su Qiangying into the living room, and asked the nanny to bring tea and fruit.

The two women had just met, and it was still fairly harmonious.

After Su Qiangying sat down, her eyes didn't dart around; she was poised and graceful, and her speech was measured.

Jian Yixin didn't put on a stern face right away or start digging for information; instead, she made small talk, asking about her future plans and whether her family members were all in good health...

No need to check her background anymore.

She hadn't been idle these past two days; she had already figured out Su Qiangying's basic situation from her son.

Her son's girlfriend's family could be considered a scholarly family; both parents were teachers at a key high school, they had been strict with her since she was little, she was an only child, and she had no bad habits.

Su Qiangying had been a top student since she was little, always ranking first in exams, and her life trajectory was very similar to Moli's from childhood to adulthood.

She and Moli were classmates in graduate school, and she also planned to pursue a doctorate in the future.

Compared to her son's first girlfriend, Cui Xiaoqian, she was stronger by more than just a little bit!

Jian Yixin was quite satisfied with such a resume.

Plus, with her husband and son there to remind her with their eyes, she was very restrained and did not show her overbearing side.

Su Qiangying was much the same; every time she was about to show her sharp edge while speaking, Moli would nudge her from behind, and with someone to prompt her, she would stop at the appropriate point, so the two women had a rather good impression of each other during their first meeting.
