  He grunted. “Where is Grandfather?”


  “He went to Country M today.” Ming Ansheng’s mother knew that he was livid. Worried, she asked, “Why?”


  Ming Ansheng ignored his mother’s question and asked, “Why did he go to Country M?”


  His mother quipped, “He had something to settle in N City.”


  She sounded as if she was unaware as well. Ming Ansheng stopped asking and said, “I’m hanging up.”


  His mother interjected quickly. “Where is Su Yue?”


  Ming Ansheng replied, “She went home today.”


  “I wanted to send her some chicken soup tomorrow morning.” She sounded rather disappointed.

  During the days when Su Yue stayed over, his mother came to visit them once. She cooked and they had a wonderful day together.

  When he came home that night, Su Yue rattled on about how awesome and great his mother was. She even repeatedly praised her cooking.

  It pleased him that his mother wanted to cook chicken soup for Su Yue. With a warm tone of voice, Ming Ansheng said, “I’ll ask Su Yue to come tomorrow.”


  His anger evaporated in a split second.

  This was the first time his mother stood up for him and protested against his grandfather’s overbearing methods. She wasn’t a weak woman by nature.

  She had been keeping her silence for his sake for a long time.

  His mother chuckled and said, “That girl is too skinny and she looks like a middle school student. You look like her father when she stands beside you.”


  Her tone was overflowing with affection and adoration for Su Yue.

  Ming Ansheng chuckled lightly and replied, “It’s the trend these days.”


  “Ansheng,” his mother spoke in a solemn voice.

  Ming Ansheng answered, “Huh?”


  She paused as though she was contemplating something. After a few seconds, she said, “How about you have a shotgun marriage?”


  She immediately elaborated, “Maybe once you have a child, your grandfather would accept her. At least on account of his great-grandchild.”


  Ming Ansheng gently smiled and quipped, “Are you sure it’s not because you wanted a grandchild?”


  It was true that the youngest son would be closer to the mother. Ever since he was a child, he could feel that his mother loved and adored him more than his older brother.

  His brother already had children, but whenever his mother heard of anyone getting pregnant, she became very envious.

  His mother snapped, “I’m seriously worried about you.”


  Ming Ansheng retracted his jokes and heavily sighed. “It’s too soon for that. Yueyue is too young, let’s wait for her to finish her studies.”


  She was merely 18 this year and she looked so frail and dainty. Besides that, she had trouble taking care of herself, not to mention taking care of her child……

  She might just cry in despair if the child bawled.

  Ming Ansheng smiled a foolish grin when he visualized that scene in his mind.

  It would be a headache in reality.

  So, it wasn’t time for them to have a child yet.

  His mother answered, “I’m merely telling you this. You should decide on your own. Your grandfather is getting old and if you drive him to an early death, you will be an eternal sinner.”


  His mother sounded sorrowful and jealous, and Ming Ansheng cheerfully grinned. “Trying to explain means you’re guilty. Lu Yinan brought Zhou Shuang back and they are expecting children soon. It must have hit the headlines, and I understand why you are eager to have your grandchildren.
