96: Chapter 96 Prada on a Country Road, Jiang Jinyue Meets Her Parents for the First Time

At this moment, Jiang Jinyue was wearing Prada Monolith brushed leather loafers with studs.

Stepping onto the country path, she stood there holding gifts, feeling at a loss.

Tang Luochuan helped her take the other gifts and said: "Let's go, let's head in. My mom should have finished cooking. Wantang should be awake too."

"Oh~," Jiang Jinyue's eyes showed no disdain, only a bit of confusion.

Anyone who had experienced this would find it unbelievable.

Just as they walked into the courtyard, Su Wantang had indeed gotten up and was sitting on a folding stool chatting with Grandma Liu Meiyu.

There was another stool nearby, with a plate of melon seeds on it.

She had been very excited today; having become Tang Luochuan's woman, she wanted to show off her skills by helping Zhu Xiumei cook.

Upon learning that all the bowls were broken yesterday, Zhu Xiumei 'painfully' refused.

Her heart did indeed ache; other people's daughters-in-law were all capable of housework, or even if they weren't allowed to do it, they could at least help out a little.

This one, on the other hand, aside from being pretty, just had some money. She still had to cook for the whole family!

Hearing the gate creak, Zhu Xiumei walked out wearing an apron.

The moment she saw Jiang Jinyue, she had two thoughts in her mind:

One, this one is also very pretty! And looks very rich too!

Two, she definitely won't know how to cook, let alone do housework.

"Yueyue is here, welcome! Welcome!" Zhu Xiumei felt a pang of heartache. If more people came to the house during this time, she would be the only one expected to cook for the whole family—it was exhausting!

A smile finally appeared on Jiang Jinyue's cold face: "Hello, Auntie. I am Luochuan's girlfriend! It's a pleasure to meet you. You've worked hard. Please accept these small gifts."

After speaking, she handed over the gifts.

Zhu Xiumei was stunned for a few seconds; this was very formal and well-spoken.

Beside her, Su Wantang raised an eyebrow, and the action of cracking melon seeds in her hand stopped.

She hadn't said that when she arrived. Was this a challenge? Was it for her benefit?

However, facing such a serious Jiang Jinyue, Zhu Xiumei didn't know how to respond and could only smile: "Go inside and sit. Dinner will be ready soon."

"Mom... do you need my help?" Tang Luochuan asked, but his feet didn't stop, and he walked into the living room first.

Zhu Xiumei glared at him fiercely: "All you know is how to use your mouth. You're just like your dad."

"Haha~" Both girls couldn't help but chuckle simultaneously. Hearing each other's voices, they exchanged a glance, their expressions returning to calm.

Looking at the gifts Jiang Jinyue had brought, Su Wantang felt unhappy and blamed herself for forgetting to buy anything.

It was also because she hadn't expected to be taken advantage of by Tang Luochuan so easily back then. At the time, she had just wanted to come over and make contact, but who knew she would be led home by him and end up sleeping over in a daze.

"Auntie, is there anything I can do? Just say the word, I'll help you chop vegetables." Su Wantang suddenly stood up.

Zhu Xiumei felt a sense of foreboding. On one hand, she knew Su Wantang couldn't cook. On the other hand, ever since Jiang Jinyue came in, the two hadn't greeted each other. It was clear they didn't get along well.

And her own 'little bastard' had already gone into the living room, completely ignoring everything.

"No need, I can manage on my own."

"It's okay, Auntie! I can help you too!" Jiang Jinyue was really competing now: "I know how to make fried eggs at home."

"I can boil noodles..."

"I'll peel garlic!"

"I can wash the vegetables."

At this moment, Tang Luochuan suddenly walked out of the room, poked his head out, and mocked: "Why don't you two name a dish? You only know how to do chores."

Both: "..."

The atmosphere was made somewhat awkward by Tang Luochuan, and Jiang Jinyue and Su Wantang looked a bit embarrassed.

A cold smile hung on the corner of Zhu Xiumei's mouth, accompanied by 'murderous intent'.

"Um..." Tang Luochuan realized this was the prelude to his mom teaching him a lesson, so he quickly said: "Mom, don't bother cooking. Isn't Dad still out wandering around? Let him bring back a few dishes from a restaurant."

"Oh, right, your dad isn't back yet. I'll go make a call." Saying this, Zhu Xiumei returned to the kitchen.

Tang Luochuan hurriedly waved for the two girls to come in. Jiang Jinyue walked over first, while Su Wantang followed nonchalantly behind.

As soon as they entered the room, Tang Luochuan asked: "How do you two plan to get along?? Should I buy another house in Shanghai later so you two can live separately?"

"Uh..." Jiang Jinyue hadn't expected him to be so direct, but she couldn't find fault with it.

Su Wantang started to feel the pressure again and wanted Tang Luochuan to make the decision: "I'll listen to Luochuan."

"What about you?" Tang Luochuan looked at Jiang Jinyue.

He had to resolve this matter. It looked like the two girls were just bickering, and while it wasn't a big deal, as time went on, it would definitely cause bigger problems. So, he had to solve it first.

"I... I'll listen to you."

"You two need to bury the hatchet for me now... If there's a problem, tell me directly. It's not really a big deal! If you keep playing like this, sooner or later you two will fight. I don't want to see that day. Jinyue is younger! Wantang, you should yield to her a bit! Wantang did cause trouble for Jinyue before, but that's in the past. Jinyue, don't take it to heart... okay..."

"..."

"Give me a response!!"

Su Wantang: "Okay..."

Jiang Jinyue: "Mm~"

"Come, come, come, hold hands, we are still good friends!" Tang Luochuan, as if coaxing a child, took the two girls' hands and put them together.

The atmosphere gradually eased, and Su Wantang couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, I'm not that petty! Treating me like a child, making us hold hands."

After speaking, Su Wantang looked at Jiang Jinyue with a serious expression: "Let me apologize to you again. Don't take it to heart."

"Oh~ I didn't... didn't take it to heart either, it's all in the past." Jiang Jinyue responded softly.

The two of them still needed to continue adjusting to each other, but this was a pretty good start.

...

Soon, Tang Hai returned carrying a pile of food. As soon as he entered the house, he called Tang Luochuan over to help carry the food.

Seeing Jiang Jinyue, Tang Hai was also stunned. The father and son walked to a corner...

"Luochuan, did you offend that Jinyue?"

"No!" Tang Luochuan opened the meal boxes; the food his father ordered was quite rich: "She's just like that. In society, the technical term is 'stinky face'; she looks at everyone as if they owe her money."

Tang Hai nodded: "Oh, oh, that... can you give me some money? I'm out of gas. When I bought it back yesterday, there were only two bars of gas in the tank."

"Dad, you don't even have a few hundred? I gave Mom quite a lot."

Tang Hai pointed at the pile of food: "I originally had 1000, but I spent it on this food! I've also spent quite a bit recently drinking with your uncles, and your mom keeps a tight rein on things. You know!"

"Let's do it this afternoon! I'll go get a gas card. I'll also buy some gold jewelry for Mom and Grandma while I'm at it."

"Good, good, good..."
