Chapter 37: Not The Real Dad

  It's really pitiful, in an unknowing situation, Xiao Yu became a father! He inexplicably attracted his future father-in-law's endless resentment value, or maybe it wasn't even his future father-in-law!

  "How can you be like this, at least discuss it with me first! I don't even know what kind of person the other party is, and you've already settled on this matter. How can your mother's spirit in heaven rest in peace?"

  As expected, Jing Menghu brought out his old trick again and used it on Jing Yu'e's mother.

  "Bring it back and let you see what's going on? You can still tell if it's good or not? Don't think I don't know, if I really brought the person back, maybe you would have already broken their legs!"

  It is said that parents are the people who understand their children best, and similarly, their own children are also the ones who understand their parents best! Jing Menghu knew exactly what kind of temper Jing Yujian had, and for Xiao Yi's safety, she would absolutely not bring Xiao Yi back home.

  Of course, actually two people are nothing, how can they be brought back home? What's going on here!

  "Good daughter, don't deceive your old man anymore. Even if you really have feelings for that young man, it's not possible to live together now, this isn't the right thing to do! I won't stop you two from dating, but you must come home to live!"

  Now even the stupid tiger has reacted, his own daughter just left home for a few days and now she knows she's pregnant? Isn't this nonsense?!

  "Stop it, old man! You'd better stop. Anyway, I don't want to be a light bulb at home for you and Auntie Xu anymore. You've suffered for so long, it's time for you to enjoy your life properly! If you feel embarrassed, it doesn't matter, I'll call Auntie Xu later and tell her that you want to invite her over for dinner tonight!"

  The topic is really changing too fast. Just now, it was still talking about Ning Yu and Xiao Yi's affairs, but suddenly the conversation turned to discussing Ning Meng Hu's own emotional matters.

  How to say, after all, Jing Menghu is now a 40-year-old man, people who grew up in their era are more shy about emotional life, and it's even more embarrassing to discuss it in front of his own daughter!

  "Adults' business is not for kids to get involved in! Let's talk about your little boyfriend, since you've decided to fall in love, as a father I can't stop you, after all, you're already an adult. Our family isn't that feudal, just look at my profession and you'll see! So tell me, what are the specific conditions of that kid?"

  Xiao Yi came to condense the rain, and Xiao Yu still felt a little embarrassed. After all, she and Xiao Yi didn't have much of a relationship now, and saying these words was completely to fool her own father!

  "Mind your own business, first solve the issue with Auntie Xu. You're not getting any younger, and Auntie Xu has been waiting for you for so long! She's such a great woman, I'll make a deal with you, if you can really bring her home as your wife, I'll immediately start calling her mom!"

  Jing Yu's arrow shot out another blockbuster, one that made Jing Menghu's heart move with excitement!

  After all these years, he still hasn't found another one, and a big part of the reason is that he's worried about hurting Ling Yu Shi!

  Now that his own daughter has eliminated all his worries, does it mean that marrying the one he loves is a natural and effortless thing to do?

  "This, obedient daughter, is what you're saying true? You really don't object to the matter between me and your Aunt Xun?" asked Jing Menghu with a racing heart.

  "Of course it is," replied the majestic and imposing figure, "Don't you see who your daughter has married? My words are as good as a promise, one word is worth nine tripods!"

  "No way! You little stinker, don't think you can fool me! First, let's talk about that boyfriend of yours, and then we'll discuss other things. Tell me more about him, I need to consider whether or not to let you continue seeing him!"

  "What do you want to know?" Since his own father agreed to let him continue living there, everything was easy to say. Anyway, he had already taken advantage of Xiao Yi once, and now taking advantage of her again shouldn't be a problem either!

  "Let's talk about that kid's family situation. What do the people in their household do? Their social status is too low, it won't do. Although your dad isn't someone who emphasizes matching doors and households, at least they should be roughly similar, otherwise what will I say to his parents when we sit together? We don't have a common language! You talk about abalone and sea cucumber with me, but they're talking about tofu and cabbage, how can we communicate?"

  When he said this, Cong Menghu's whole body was full of a strong sense of superiority. In today's world, having money is the most important thing! Even if it's just your own family, you should have some dignity at home!

  It's not that I'm saying you're a greedy tiger, it's just that I worry about my daughter having a hard life if she marries into your family!

  Jing Yu didn't like her old man's current state, she thought he was too smug and needed to be taught a lesson!

  "Dad, you're wrong. The parents in their household all have doctoral degrees and are currently conducting scientific research abroad. In simpler terms, they're what we call scientists! Do you think scientists don't make a lot of money? So, the things you were worried about earlier were completely unnecessary. I'm actually worried that they might look down on you, after all, when it comes to discussing something with knowledge content, you definitely won't understand!"

  Jin Menghu's face turned bright red, he really didn't expect Xiao Yu's parents to be of such a status. Scientists, not to mention how much money they make, but from the perspective of contributing to society, they can directly crush Jin Menghu. Thinking about it, he was worried that his daughter liked this boy whose family conditions were not good enough for his daughter, now it seems that his daughter marrying into their family is a high match, after all, they are a scholarly family!

  But thinking that my future grandnephew might be a cultured person makes me very happy! In this day and age, aren't grandsons and grandnephews the same? They're all only children, so are grandnephews not one's own kids too?

  Thinking that I only have one daughter, after working hard for most of my life, the family property will still be given to her in the end. In the future, no matter what, my grandson must be closer to him.

  It's really a pie-in-the-sky thing that the descendants of someone who didn't even finish middle school and was involved in shady occupations would become scholars!

  Anyway, for now, Meng Hu is very satisfied with Xiao Yi's family condition!

  "Dad, what are you thinking? Anyway, other people's families definitely don't lack money. Although it can't compare to the amount in our family, at least their money is clean!"

  Even Ning Yu herself was stunned after saying out the family conditions of Xiao Yi's household, she suddenly realized that if Xiao Yi wanted to find a partner, his conditions were simply too excellent!

  Xiao Yi himself is quite good-looking and has a sturdy build, but most importantly, he has a good temper and is kind-hearted. As for his future prospects, Cong Yu Shi doesn't have to worry, since his parents can go abroad for research and he's already in university now, so after two more years of studying, won't there be plenty of job opportunities?

  Looking at it this way, Xiao Yi may not be a diamond bachelor, but he's still much better than an economically suitable man! Men like him are in high demand these days. It seems I need to consider whether I really want to make our fake relationship real with Xiao Yi!

  The fierce tiger glared at his daughter with discontent and said, "What do you mean by 'their family's money is at least clean'? The money I earn is also clean! However, my dear daughter, they are a scholarly family with good family conditions, can they really look down on us?"

  At this time, Cui's heart was filled with anxiety. After all, his profession wasn't glorious, and even though he was making a lot of money now, who knew when something would happen and he'd end up in trouble? If that day came, he would undoubtedly become a burden to his daughter!

  To say that it's either the daughter of Jing Yu or the daughter of Jing Menghu, upon hearing her old father say so, Jing Yu responded with a domineering tone: "How dare he! What's wrong with our family? Our family is also a good family and won't mistreat him! Besides, I'm such an excellent daughter, am I not worthy of him?"

  "Good girl, you can't talk like that! What kind of child are you? Our family's status is different from others, so when you get married, you can't be as willful as you are at home. By the way, you know how to cook, which is great! In the future, after you enter your husband's household, you'll definitely make them satisfied! My daughter isn't bad either!"

  A head full of black hair, what is his old father thinking? Is the rhythm too fast?!

  "Dad, you weren't saying that just now! You were strongly opposed to me living with him, so how come we're discussing marriage now? Can't you be consistent?"

  "You don't know anything! Boys like him are hard to find these days, hurry up and grab him before he goes to college and gets exposed to the outside world. Otherwise, it'll be too late! I know our family isn't exactly book-smart, but I really want one of us to become a cultured person! Can't you fulfill your old man's wish? Think about it, when I go out drinking in the future, having a grandson who excels in studies will give me so much face!"

  "What? To save face for you to go out and eat, now you're letting your daughter marry just anyone?" Jing Yu's eyes were on the verge of exploding!

  "You can't say that, what do you mean by 'casually marrying someone'? You like that young man too! I think it's fine, I'll help you two get together! When are you going to bring him home for dinner? After all, they took you in, we should thank them properly and let them know we're a family with good manners!"

  "Waiter! Takeout! I'm leaving now, I won't eat anymore! This man is not my real dad!"
