Yin Shixiu spoke without any sign of being flustered, brewing a pot of tea and placing it on the coffee table, pouring a small cup for each of the two elders.
Yin Shaohui glanced at Yin Shixiu, and seeing Su Xiaong carrying out the fruit, said nothing more.
"Uncle, Aunt, have so fruit!"
"Thank you."
Zhou ngqin said, then beckoned Su Xiaong to continue sitting beside her.
Su Xiaong liked Old Madam Yin from the first glance.
She was so beautiful, an elderly woman seldom described with the word "beautiful," yet at first sight of Zhou ngqin, Su Xiaong thought she was truly beautiful.
If she could be as graceful and composed at that age, she would be delighted.
Her eyes seed burdened with many past mories, yet they still shone brightly, giving her a wise appearance.
"I heard the plan your brother-in-law proposed in Guangzhou was vetoed by you?"
Yin Shaohui picked up the ceramic teacup, took a sip, and asked indifferently.
"Yes, it seems Second Sister talked to you."
"Yu Hongguang, though impulsive, your second sister is steady. She told she researched this project, and that Yu Hongguang would handle it fine."
"Second Sister is in politics. It’s better for her to participate less in business matters."
Yin Shixiu spoke, and seeing Su Xiaong stuffing three or four strawberries into her mouth, moved the fruit platter away from her.
He gave her a look, signaling her to stop eating.
Perhaps because the Yin Family elders were present, she uncharacteristically stopped being a glutton.
She put down the fruit fork and stood up, "Uncle, Aunt, I’ll go to my room and change clothes first."
"Okay, sure."
After Su Xiaong went into the room, Yin Shaohui glanced over and casually asked, "She said her parents know about your relationship, is it true?"
"Xiao ng doesn’t lie."
Yin Shixiu shrugged.
Yin Shaohui glanced at him again, "If your mom and I hadn’t co over, would you have introduced her to us?"
"Dad, do you want to et her?"
"I don’t want to."
Yin Shaohui said coldly, "I’m a bit regretful for coming here now."
Zhou ngqin tugged at Yin Shaohui’s sleeve.
Yin Shaohui, with a steady gaze, took a light breath and returned to the topic, "As for Yu Hongguang’s issues, handle it as you see fit. If he can continue, don’t provoke his anger; we’re all family."
"I understand."
"Your second uncle ca back this ti and introduced a nice girl to you. Find so ti to et her."
Yin Shixiu’s eyebrows twitched.
"What? Unwilling?"
"I already have a girlfriend."
Yin Shixiu replied, but it seed Yin Shaohui didn’t hear it, continuing, "That girl ca to our house once with your second uncle. I can assure you, she’s much prettier than your little girlfriend."
"She has good education, family background, and a generous personality. You’ll like her."
"No matter what, et her once. If you don’t like her, just let it be. Consider it giving so respect to your second uncle."
Yin Shaohui retreated a bit.
This left Yin Shixiu with no reason to refuse.
"...Okay."
At this point, arguing with this "old iron blood" over Su Xiaong’s matter was not worth it.
He understood that his father was already displeased...
This was only knowing Su Xiaong was his girlfriend. If he found out she was already pregnant with his child and they planned to get married in two months...
It probably wouldn’t be this calm attitude now.
Soon, the doorbell rang, and the hotel’s dinner was delivered.
Su Xiaong was especially well-behaved tonight. As soon as the al arrived, she proactively helped Yin Shixiu tidy the table and set the dishes.
Yin Shixiu watched the little one busying around him, indeed acting like a daughter-in-law eting her in-laws.
"Alright, go sit down. I’ll handle the rest."
Yin Shixiu was afraid she’d tire herself out. It was already late, and considering Su Xiaong’s usual routine, she’d be half-asleep by now.
"Hmm... is this okay?"
Yin Shixiu faced her worried little face.
"What? Afraid the in-laws won’t like you?"
Su Xiaong’s face suddenly flushed, whispering, "What in-laws, don’t say such things..."
"Why aren’t they the in-laws?"
"Fake, fake..."
"Oh? Really? Then there’s no need to worry about pleasing them. Just go back to your room and sleep."
Yin Shixiu casually said.
Su Xiaong puffed her cheeks and murmured, "I just don’t want to embarrass you, Uncle."
Yin Shixiu’s lips curved slightly, handing her the plated snacks, "Take them over then."
"...Okay."
