Chapter 781: Too Mean!

Su Chen turned to the voice source and saw Ji Zitong with a worried expression on her face. He put on a smile. “It’s fine. It’s just a simple bout of sparring. Your father is still inside.” He then turned around and looked at the door.

Ji Zitong’s father covered an eye as he walked out while groaning.

“Father! What happened?”

Ji Zitong’s father took a deep breath as Ji Zitong touched his shoulder. He took her hand away and said, “Don’t touch me for now. It’s painful… You there, you’re really serious, huh? Aren’t you afraid that I won’t let my daughter marry you after being so rough with me?”

While he sounded like he was complaining, he seemed pretty satisfied.

What an unexpected turn of events!

Ji Zitong’s father was a simple man. Through and through a martial arts maniac, it was very easy to deal with him. One just had to beat him down until he admitted defeat.

“Father-in-law, you’re the one who didn’t admit defeat earlier. You said that you won’t let Zitong marry me if I can’t beat you, so I have to do it for my wife!” Su Chen smiled as he touched his nose, and at the same time, he was observing Ji Zitong’s reaction.

She just rolled her eyes at him, obviously unhappy about this.

Su Chen felt defeated. What did he do wrong?

He had only given her father a few punches and a bruise just above his left eye which would be fine in a few days…

“You’ve really done it now!” She got annoyed at Su Chen after checking her father’s injuries, yet her father stopped her.

“Alright, alright! Don’t get angry now. It’s fine. He’s pretty good and he has the spirit of a warrior. Let’s talk when we get back home. Your mother should be done with the cooking.”

Ji Zitong calmed down and glared at Su Chen, who cleared his throat and shot her an innocent glance, before just following behind her without saying a word.

The martial arts center was not that far away from the Ji Residence. It was just a few streets away.

Ji Zitong’s father went to grab some ointment for his injuries while Su Chen and Ji Zitong went back first.

They did not talk to each other on the way back as Su Chen just walked beside Ji Zitong silently.

As they were arriving at the house, Ji Zitong suddenly stopped and glared at Su Chen as she accused bitterly, “You’re pretty rough despite my father’s old age, huh?”

Su Chen was stunned for a moment when he saw her angry expression. However, he soon grinned. “Don’t worry. I controlled myself and I’m pretty sure he’s fine. Aren’t you worried that your father might beat me up? He hits pretty hard too. I know since I took several of his punches.”

“He’s just trying to test you.” Ji Zitong avoided his question.

“Fine, I know you’re unhappy about it. It’s my fault. I’m sorry.”

Ji Zitong glanced at Su Chen. “Whatever. At least, my father approves of you. Let’s head back now.”

…

Su Chen had an enjoyable lunch at the Ji Residence. Chen Ling was very warm towards him and made some small talk during the meal. Su Chen answered each and every question she asked, so she was very pleased with her new son-in-law.

Ji Zitong’s father summoned Su Chen to the study room after lunch while Ji Zitong and her mother cleared up.

Inside Ji Zitong’s room, Ji Zitong sat down on the sofa as she stared at her mother who was packing her clothes for her.

“It’ll be different once you get married. You should’ve told us you’re in a relationship with Su Chen. Then, your father and I wouldn’t have been so worried about you.”

Chen Ling put a stack of folded clothes into Ji Zitong’s suitcase, saying in a gentle voice, “I think Su Chen is a sweet guy. He’s quite an understanding person. After meeting his grandfather and sister some time ago, his family should be pretty easygoing.”

“You haven’t lived with his family before. How would you know?” Ji Zitong looked downwards and asked quietly.

Chen Ling smiled. “I guess you wouldn’t know, huh? Observing someone’s behavior can tell us something about how they were raised. However, I didn’t expect it would be the Su family. They are one of the most prestigious families in our city. I hope you’ll do fine with your new married life. No matter what, they are of high social status, but it seems like they don’t really care about the differences between us.”

Chen Ling was still a traditional woman after all. She did feel it was better to find someone of the same social status, especially ever since the Dong family humiliated Ji Zitong. Although no one ever mentioned this in front of Ji Zitong ever again, it did hurt her.

“Don’t worry, Tongtong. Su Chen seems a lot better than Dong Wentao. The Su family is a well-known family, unlike the Dong family. Plus, Su Chen seems to be very nice to you. Try to get along with his family, alright? You need to be more easygoing after becoming someone’s wife. Please think properly before you act. Be considerate of him as well whenever there’s an argument, okay?”

Chen Ling knew her daughter very well, hence her advice.

Ji Zitong listened quietly and did not say anything. Her eyes turned cold the moment the Dong family was mentioned, but her expression soon returned to normal.
