Chapter 374: The One Who Was Speaking Had No Particular Intention, But The Listener Was Reading Her Meaning Into It.

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This war had ended in a way Wei Hongmian had not to expect at all. She did not feel like talking on the way home and leaned on the car’s window wearily.

Jiao Shuzhen knew in her heart that this girl had truly fallen in love.

Yang Fan had mentioned quite a few times that Wei Hongmian was very proud and arrogant. She was not interested in any young men in Capital City and the only one that she was interested in was Shao Yibai.

There was always another issue to overcome after getting rid of one!

Jiao Shuzhen sighed. From her point of view, Wei Hongmian could have been one-of-a-kind daughter-in-law if she were to be married into the family. However, her son had failed to live up to her expectations…

“Auntie!” Wei Hongmian shouted suddenly just when they were about to arrive.

“Hongmian, you can tell me what you want to say frankly…”

“Auntie, you’re Yibai’s mother, so you must know him well…” The rim of Wei Hongmian’s eyes turned red. “What can I do for him to fall in love with me? I refuse to admit defeat. In what way is that girl better than me… I’ve known Yibai for a long time and I’m his childhood friend…”

Her words made Jiao Shuzhen’s heart clenched a little, and it softened up when she saw that the girl was trying really hard not to cry.

“Yibai is a very stubborn person. As soon as he decided on something, it will be very difficult to change his mind. He’s just like his father. If I didn’t take the initiative in the past, there won’t be a family here today. To be frank, I was the one who had forced him into sleeping with me… hahaha…”

Jiao Shuzhen shook her head and laughed when she said that.

The one who was speaking had no particular intention, but the listener was reading too much into it.

Wei Hongmian’s eyes suddenly shone brightly. She then lifted her head from the car’s window and muttered, “Sleeping with him?”

She was thinking about the same thing as Jiao Shuzhen, but no one wanted to be the one to say it out…

The car had stopped at the entrance of the Wei Family’s front door. Wei Hongmian got off the car and waved goodbye to Jiao Shuzhen.

Jiao Shuzhen looked at Wei Hongmian’s desolated back and yelled in a low voice, “Hongmian, are you willing to… sleep with him?”

Su Qingcheng had returned from the café, but she did not feel the victory of winning a war. She continued to behave as she normally did.

As expected, Shao Yibai still did not know that his mother and two other women who were trying to fight for him had just had a “competition”.

The weather was getting warmer during August in Capital City. The sun was scorching the earth, and everything was sizzling hot.

With just a sprinkle of a pinch of pepper, Capital City could be turned into a slab of fine barbecued meat…

Su Qingcheng was on a summer break, so Shao Yibai chose a delicate luxe small-sized house from the properties he owned and made it into a “love nest for his mistress”.

It was an 80 square-feet studio that was labeled luxe but was furnished in a minimalistic style.

The studio was filled with green plants with a double sofa in the living room. It had a few home appliances and a misty blue curtain to block out the blazing sun.

Since Su Qingcheng did not have to do any intense training anymore, all that was left in her life was eating and drinking while enjoying the air conditioner.

However, she was still a Sichuanese in heart, so she was rather particular about the food that she ate. Therefore, Su Qingcheng on a summer break was equivalent to a fat Su Qingcheng.

It was impossible for Shao Yibai to be with her all the time, but he was able to visit her once a month.

The two of them would be able to spend a few days together before Shao Yibai would need to return to the forces.

From the beginning to the end, Su Qingcheng did not mention a word about Jiao Shuzhen showing up to pressure her. The only thing that Su Qingcheng cared about was Shao Yibai being together with her.

She also believed that Jiao Shuzhen would not say a word about the meeting.

Right before her summer break was about to end, Shao Yibai came back to visit his relatives. He did not visit Su Qingcheng first, but he called and told her that he had to attend a family dinner.

Su Qingcheng smiled. “Go ahead! I’ll eat by myself then. I’ll have a duck’s blood and beef tripe in spicy soup tonight…”

Shao Yibai found it funny and ordered in a low voice, “Don’t eat food that’s too spicy. It’s bad for your stomach. Also, I can’t eat spicy food, so if you eat too spicy, I won’t be able to kiss you!”

Su Qingcheng called him an indecent man, but her heart was hammering in joy.

She would graduate in a year and by then…

Su Qingcheng had forgotten all about Jiao Shuzhen’s warning.

Jiao Shuzhen could favor her “daughter-in-law” for all she cared, but she would marry this man!

When Shao Yibai returned home, Jiao Shuzhen had already prepared a table full of dishes. Other than the few dishes that Shao Yibai loved, there were also a few Southern Fujian dishes.

“Mom, there will be guests coming today?”

Shao Yibai had taken a shower, changed into a clean white t-shirt, and rubbed his hair dry with a towel.

Jiao Shuzhen said with a smile, “You’ll see later.”

Before she could complete her sentence, a security guard had ran over and reported, “The Wei Family’s Young Mistress has arrived.”

Jiao Shuzhen hurried out to meet her and left Shao Yibai confused on the spot.

Wei Hongmian?

Before he could react to it, he saw Wei Hongmian walking in behind Jiao Shuzhen.

She had put effort into dressing up this time. She was wearing a white sleeveless dress that accentuated her fair and slender arms.

She had tied her long hair into a low ponytail which made her seem effortlessly beautiful. Compared to Shao Yibai’s impression of her, she seemed just a little gentler tonight.

Wei Hongmian rarely could be seen wearing a dress except for when she was attending dinner parties.

Shao Yibai and Shao Jingshan looked at each other and communicated through their eyes: “What is my mother trying to do?”

Shao Jingshan: “How would I know?”

Shao Yibai: “She’s your wife, how could you not know?”

Shao Jingshan: “Isn’t she your mother too? Why don’t you know?”

While the two grown men communicated with their eyes, Jiao Shuzhen had already ordered someone to carry the gifts that Wei Hongmian brought for them.

“I brought Four Treasures of the Study for Uncle Shao. Uncle Shao has much better hobbies than my father as you’re good at calligraphy, painting, and playing chess. My dad didn’t have any other hobbies aside from shooting…” Wei Hongmian said to Shao Jingshan and Jiao Shuzhen politely while sitting down.

Shao Yibai could not join into the conversation, so all he did was sit there doing nothing…

After a long time, Shao Yibai was finally being involved in the conversation.

“Auntie, my father’s old subordinate had given him two bottles of eighty-year-old red wine on the veteran cadre party a while ago, and I had brought one bottle for Yibai…”

Wei Hongmian glanced at Shao Yibai shyly as she spoke.

She had given him an antique gun the last time and had brought a bottle of red wine for him this time. This girl was truly aggressive when it came to pursuing him…

While Shao Yibai was giving his thanks, he saw from the corners of his eyes that Jiao Shuzhen had already taken out a few wine glasses.

Jiao Shuzhen placed the four wine glasses on the table and said to Shao Yibai, “Your stomach is not doing too well recently. Drink some nourishing soup before drinking some wine!”

Since when he had a bad stomach?

Before Shao Yibai could say anything, Jiao Shuzhen had already pushed a bowl of nourishing health soup in front of him.

Shao Jingshan heard it and said with a smile, “I have a bad stomach too…”

“Go somewhere else!” Jiao Shuzhen groaned. “How shameless of you to fight for a bowl of soup with your child?”

Old Shao had yet to retire and was a high ranking personnel, but he was reduced to a husband who listened to everything his wife said at home…

Wei Hongmian could not help but laugh.

Shao Yibai had always been “obedient”, so he lifted the bowl of soup finished it in just a few gulps.

Jiao Shuzhen began to gather everyone for dinner and would glance at Wei Hongmian from time to time.

The woman looked extraordinarily nervous and dared not look at Shao Yibai. She just drank drink the red wine by herself quietly.

It was indeed a quality red wine. After drinking for a while, Shao Yibai felt his entire body burning up, and Wei Hongmian suddenly looked extremely attractive in his eyes…

“Mom, what did you put in the soup? How can I drink something like that during the summer…”

Shao Yibai massaged his temples as he spoke. He seemed very uncomfortable.

Jiao Shuzhen was so frightened that she dropped the chopsticks in her hand.

Shao Jingshan looked at his wife with doubts and glanced at his son.

Jiao Shuzhen quickly said to Wei Hongmian, “Quick, Hongmian, help aunty bring Yibai back to his room…”
