Su Qingcheng's guess was right.
Jiao Shuzhen, who knew she was in the wrong, had already prepared a sumptuous lunch. She lingered on the balcony on the second floor, looking forward to her son's return.
The Shao Family had a very good family tradition. They were upright and upright, and the father was kind and the son was filial. The whole family had always been harmonious, and that was how they managed to raise a tough and warm man like Shao Yibai.
Shao Jingshan's family was usually very democratic. Although Shao Jingshan would interfere with Shao Yibai's work because he was worried about Shao Yibai's safety, he would always respect Shao Yibai's choices in the end. Hence, Shao Yibai's unrestrained personality was born.
However, the fact that Jiao Shuzhen had drugged her son yesterday was definitely a destructive blow to this balance.
Although Shao Yibai was arrogant and unruly, he had the traditional thinking of his father's generation and the seal of responsibility in his blood. Moreover, Wei Hongmian's family matters would not allow him to slip away after sleeping.
If he had slept with Wei Hongmian yesterday, then he would have no other choice today.
Therefore, one could imagine how much Shao Yibai hated her. The more Jiao Shuzhen thought about it, the more scared she became.
She only had one child!
She had witnessed Shao Yibai's cold and sarcastic gaze last night. She knew how important Su Qingcheng was to Shao Yibai.
Jiao Shuzhen didn't dare to fall out with her son just because she wanted to marry a daughter-in-law.
The old-fashioned British-style grandfather clock struck one, and the last dish was placed on the table. The guard trotted over to pick up Shao Yibai's car, which was parked at the entrance.
Su Qingcheng hid behind Shao Yibai and followed his every step.
After waiting for so long, this day had finally come. Only then did she show fear.
Compared to when Jiao Shuzhen and Wei Hongmian came to force her to abdicate, today made her even more nervous.
"Daisy, don't be afraid. My father is a very nice person." Shao Yibai held the gift in one hand and pulled Su Qingcheng with the other.
He had a conflict with Jiao Shuzhen, but it didn't mean that he could be unreasonable.
In the morning, they went to the mall early and bought some gifts under Su Qingcheng's name.
Now, Su Qingcheng felt like she was being forced to do something beyond her abilities. She took the gift from Shao Yibai's hand and followed behind him with small steps.
Seeing the furnishings in the courtyard, Shao Yibai's expression became even more relaxed.
Inside the courtyard, Shao Jingshan had taken off his military uniform and was now wearing a grey Tang suit. He seemed to be in high spirits.
"Dad, I brought Xiaodai back to see you." Shao Yibai went forward and grabbed his wife from behind. Su Qingcheng smiled and said in a clear voice, "Hello, Uncle! I am Su Qingdai. "
Shao Jingshan sized up the little girl and flashed a satisfied smile.
Not to mention that this lass was pretty, she had a pair of limpid eyes that were so clean that there were no impurities.
She didn't put on any makeup, but her plain clothes made people feel comfortable. The egg white dress was very much in line with the "straight man's aesthetics" of dads.
"Yibai, hurry up and bring Little Su in. Your mother is waiting anxiously."
Shao Jingshan led the way as he invited them into the house.
In fact, Jiao Shuzhen had long heard the commotion at the door, but she was afraid of Shao Yibai, so she didn't dare to show up.
Shao Yibai strode into the house and shouted in an exaggerated manner, "What delicious food did Beauty Jiao prepare? I think I smell chili! "
When Jiao Shuzhen realized that her son had no intention of blaming her at all and even affectionately called her Beauty Jiao, she finally felt relieved.
She came over excitedly and took the gift from Su Qingcheng's hand. She whispered, "We're all friends. Why did you buy me a gift?"
Su Qingcheng was a little pleased. Her mother-in-law finally admitted that she was one of them.
However, Su Qingcheng didn't show it.
She and Jiao Shuzhen had a tacit understanding, so they chatted for a while as if it was their first meeting.
Shao Yibai was overjoyed when he saw this. He had no idea that Jiao Shuzhen, Wei Hongmian, and Su Qingcheng had put on a good show.
More than half of the dishes on the table were Sichuan cuisine, which suited Su Qingcheng's appetite.
However, she had to be reserved since it was her first time visiting her daughter-in-law. Su Qingcheng pretended that she was not a foodie. She only glanced at the dishes and remained calm.
She had to admit that it was hard for her to pretend. It was obviously different from the food served in restaurants, so it must have been made by an authentic Sichuan chef.
As expected, Jiao Shuzhen quickly showed her treasure after they sat down. "Little Su, try it and see if it's authentic. Your uncle borrowed two chefs from Sichuan from the courtyard and they spent the whole morning making it."
Shao Yibai smiled. "Are they Uncle Qian's chefs?"
Shao Jingshan nodded. "Our family doesn't eat spicy food, but your Uncle Qian loves spicy food, so his family's chef is the best at making spicy food in the entire military. Try this spicy rabbit head. The chef brought it from Old Qian and braised it in advance. "
Su Qingcheng was suddenly touched. "Thank you, uncle and auntie …"
Although she never lacked food when she was at home, there were many children in the family and they were extremely poor, so food like the spicy rabbit head was always enjoyed by her two older brothers.
She was too obedient. She was the one who was neglected among the three daughters.
Unfortunately, her parents realized that she was the most valuable one when they picked a daughter to sell …
Now, Shao Jingshan valued her so much in front of a family like the Shao Family. They did not eat spicy food, but they made a table full of dishes just to satisfy her taste buds.
She wanted to cry.
She was a child whose father did not love her and whose mother did not love her. A lollipop could make her cry, let alone a plate full of spicy rabbit head.
"Do you like it?" Shao Yibai drooled as he watched her eat happily. He was a tough guy who was not afraid of pain or death, but he was afraid of spicy food.
Su Qingcheng felt that her lips were a little thick, but it was really satisfying.
She nodded like a chick pecking at grains. "It's delicious! Do you want to try it? "
Shao Yibai quickly shook his head. The food in Capital City was salty, but not spicy. He liked it when he saw Su Qingcheng eat it boldly, but he still felt that it was inappropriate. "Is it too spicy? Can your stomach take it?"
Su Qingcheng wiped her mouth with a tissue. "I usually eat a lot of spicy food, so I have to eat more today. Otherwise, I'll be wasting uncle and auntie's kindness …"
Shao Jingshan was delighted when he heard that. "Little Su is right. Eat more. There will be some braised food that you can take away later!"
Jiao Shuzhen looked down on Su Qingcheng's family in the beginning, but she saw that this child was magnanimous and unpretentious. She was not as elegant and noble as a young lady from an aristocratic family, but it was precisely because she was so ordinary and down-to-earth that she made people feel comfortable.
She secretly sighed. Her beloved daughter-in-law was sitting at this table last night, but it was replaced today. She accepted her fate.
After lunch, Jiao Shuzhen pulled Shao Yibai to the sofa and sat down. She suddenly mentioned, "Yuan Xuan has returned from abroad for some time. He'll be getting married to Miss Mu in a while, so you'll have to make a trip to Luo Hai."
