After reading my mind, I took off

Chapter 337 In-laws

It was not until Hou Yuxiang disappeared and another 10 minutes passed that Cheng Jin called Cheng Cai.

"Your brain is rusty, what are you doing going to someone else's house?"

"You even want to take pictures for me. Your brain must be rusty."

Cheng Cai was scolded by her brother and her mood immediately became bad.

"You only cared about your own pleasure and left me alone. Now you call me and scold me without thinking twice!"

Cheng Cai felt so aggrieved that she was about to cry!

As soon as Cheng Jin heard the voice, he knew what kind of character his sister was in. She was stubborn, and he knew it now. Why was he angry with her? Thinking of this, Cheng Jin's attitude softened immediately, "Where are you now?"

"Where else could I be? Of course I'd be at your ex-girlfriend's house, such a shabby place!"

"Don't eat there, I'll pick you up."

"No, you're remembering me now. I just want to eat here."

Cheng Cai hung up the phone immediately after saying that.

Haha, he's in a bad mood again. Cheng Jin looked at the time. It was rare that he had free time so early, so he decided to go home and see the kids.

As for Hou Yuxiang, she felt the atmosphere at home was a little depressing as soon as she got home.

She reached out to hold the child very consciously.

"Wash your hands and eat. I'll hold the child first."

Hou Yuxiang wasn’t actually hungry, as she had already eaten something before going home.

"Grandma, let me hold you. You go eat first."

Li Yunzhen wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Ge Jiye, who pushed the bowl away, a little impatient. "It's just a meal, you push me. You're not a new daughter-in-law."

"Have a meal!"

Hou Yuxiang silently took the child. As soon as Li Yunzhen sat down and saw her son's favorite braised pork, she sighed, "Hey, our prince loves the braised pork I cook the most. He says it tastes like a five-star chef's."

"I don't know where he is or how he is doing. How he eats, sleeps, works..."

Li Yunzhen was about to start a long speech, and Hou Yuxiang was a little annoyed and went back to her room with the child in her arms.

"What's the point of thinking so much at home? We can go see him together sometime!"

Although Ge Jiye didn't say it, he was worried about his son who was alone outside.

"Yuxiang! Yuxiang!"

"Hey! What's wrong?!"

Hou Yuxiang had no choice but to return with the child in her arms.

"Your father said when to go to the prince. How about tomorrow, we can go together."

Li Yunzhen's longing for her son could not wait even a day.

Tomorrow? She asked for leave on her first day at work? Was she in such a hurry? Hou Yuxiang hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to go to work. She said carefully, "I still have to go to work tomorrow."

"How about you go first?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ge Jiye slammed the table.

"Let's go if we want to!"

"You don't feel sorry for your husband at all! He goes out alone, isn't it all for you and for this family?"

Ge Jiye said with great sorrow that he got angry when he saw his daughter-in-law acting like nothing happened!

"I--"

"Father-in-law, I really have to go to work tomorrow! How about I wait until this weekend and go with you guys!"

In the past, Hou Yuxiang would definitely not feel guilty, but now, because of Cheng Jin, she felt guilty and couldn't look the same in front of her parents-in-law.

"Go to work, go to work."

"You can earn a lot of money at work, why don't you just take a day off?"

"After working for so long, can't you just take a day off? Doesn't your boss have something going on at home?"

As soon as his son left, Ge Jiye regretted it. He should have sent him off with his whole family. The child had never traveled far from home since he was a child. He didn't even live in a dormitory when he went to school. Now that he has a family, he has to travel far away!

Hou Yuxiang had no words to express her grievances, as tomorrow was her first day at work.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law refused to give in, Ge Jiye asked forcefully, "Yuxiang, what's your boss's number? I'll call him and ask him."

The son in her arms was so sweet and soft, while the father-in-law opposite her had a greasy mouth and a scary look on his face. Hou Yuxiang stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Yuxiang, your father is right. If it doesn't work out, you can find another job. Doesn't your mother know a lot of people? Ask her to find someone."

The mother-in-law said this lightly. Some time ago, she went back to her parents' home during the day and pretended to go to work because she couldn't find a job. "Mother-in-law, it's hard to find a job these days."

They had already discussed it today. If she opened her mouth, what would people think of her? Hou Yuxiang just wanted to go to work steadily.

"Forget it. If she doesn't want to go, then she doesn't have to go."

"With such a low level of education, I know it's hard to find a job now. This family still depends on my son..."

"The prince had already given up on her. She was a foreigner and a single parent..."

Ge Jiye was complaining about Hou Yuxiang while eating. He had always been dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law, and now that his son was becoming more and more successful, he was even more dissatisfied.

Hou Yuxiang listened silently, then she returned to her room with her child in her arms.

The parents-in-law's nagging is over. It was originally my fault. I should just bear with it for now.

"Uh-huh~"

The little baby in her arms seemed to feel her mother's mood. He babbled and tapped Hou Yuxiang's body with his lotus-like arms.

"Good boy, sweet baby~"

Hou Yuxiang kissed her son and stopped listening to the noise outside.

Cheng Jin bought some toys and snacks and returned to his long-lost home. He opened the door and found that no one was at home.

"Hey, where have you been? Why aren't you home?"

"Oh, I'm in class, piano."

"Okay, okay. Hang up."

The conversation between the couple was dull and Cheng Jin felt bored staying alone, so after putting down his things, he left again and returned to the villa he had given to Hou Yuxiang.

With nothing to do and Yuxiang being alone at home, Cheng Jin decided to tease her. He lay down on the sofa and started laughing before he even picked up his phone.

At Hou Lianping's home, Cheng Cai sat at the dining table, quietly waiting for the two men to pick up chopsticks and serve plates.

"All ready, let's eat."

The presentation is nice, and the colors are good. It should be better than taking out. Cheng Cai picked up the chopsticks with peace of mind.

The fish skin was fried crispy, and it made a "crunch" sound when bitten. The fish meat inside was very tender, with a little five-spice flavor, and it tasted very delicious. This woman, who looks so stiff, cooks well, Cheng Cai thought and glanced at Hou Lianping.

"Wow! Pingping, the fish you fried is really amazing!"

Xiang Mao ate piece after piece, praising the food as he ate.

"Pingping, um, delicious! How did you fry this shredded potato? It's so good!"

……

"Eating can't stop you from talking."

Cheng Cai felt annoyed after listening to this. This Xiang Mao was a complete flatterer. Mr. Hou’s cooking skills were just average, slightly better than takeout. Was there any need for him to be so exaggerated?

"I can't compare to you, the golden branch and jade leaf."

"Hey, Pingping, you've worked hard. I'll help you get a bowl of soup."

Xiang Mao ignored Cheng Cai and continued to flatter Hou Lianping.

"whispering sound!"

"Flattery!"

Cheng Cai quickened her eating speed. She wanted to go home early after dinner, and she wanted this bootlicker to send her off! See what he is so proud of!

Xiang Mao thought she was stealing his food, so he ate faster.

She picked up a chopstick.

He has two chopsticks!

Unconvinced, she picked up the spoon.

Not convinced, he picked up the plate!

Hou Lianping was amused by the two of them.

"My Pingping, despite the smoke damaging her skin, cooked for me personally! You eat so much!"

Xiang Mao wiped the grease off his mouth. The more he looked at Cheng Cai, the more he disliked her. Not only was she black in appearance, but she also had a black heart.

"What do you care? After all, Mr. Hou and I are relatives! I'm here to visit relatives, so what?"

Normally, Cheng Cai only ate a little food at night, but today, because of her desire to win, she ate too much.

"Okay, I'm done! Take me home!"

Cheng Cai put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and naturally ordered Xiang Mao to do something.

"Me! Why? Go back by yourself."

"It's so dark! I'm a girl."

"What does it have to do with me!"

Hou Lianping had heard something about Cheng Cai's affairs, so she did not persuade Xiang Mao.

"Are you still a man?"

"It's not up to you to decide whether it counts or not."

"I'll call your man and ask him to pick you up."

"You don't have to hit me!"

"No fight, no fight."

"you--"

Cheng Cai was choked and speechless. Dai Mengyang was really something. He didn’t even call her to ask about it so late. He spoke so nicely to her last night!

"I also have Mr. Dai's contact information. Let me call. Maomao, it's not appropriate for a boy like you to do this."

Hou Lianping said with a smile.

"Yes, Pingping, you are really thoughtful."
