Chapter 407: Irony
Chapter 407: Irony
Originally, An's mother was very satisfied with her bag which cost tens of thousands of dollars.
But when I saw Yao's mother carrying a branded bag worth millions.
Mother An's face looked a little unhappy.
Subconsciously, I quietly placed my bag containing tens of thousands of dollars on the stool next to me.
Yao's mother naturally noticed An's mother's little trick.
But she held her chin high and placed her bag ostentatiously on the table.
Let the front of the bag face An's mother.
It’s just to let An’s mother see clearly.
In fact, Yao's mother remembered the bag that An's mother carried.
When Yao Xu was going to visit the An family, he did his homework in advance and prepared gifts.
But she didn't know much about this, so Yao's mother chose a bag for An's mother.
It just so happened that the bag that Mother An was carrying today was the one that Mother Yao had personally chosen.
Even though there is no ostentatious expression, the element of showing off is very obvious.
Father Yao approached Mother Yao and whispered, "You are so childish. You are already in your forties, why are you still acting like a child?"
Yao's mother rolled her eyes and looked proud.
"What do you care? I'm happy to do it."
An's mother, who was not far away, naturally noticed the interaction between Yao's father and Yao's mother.
Father Yao exudes the maturity of a middle-aged man.
Even though he is now middle-aged, he is still very handsome, in a mature and steady way.
Mother An was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Father An, then looked away with disgust the next second.
Father An was pretty decent when he was young.
But as he grew older, Father An never took care of himself and looked like he was just a layer of old skin.
There is absolutely no way to compare with Yao's father.
An's mother has already prepared herself mentally.
Isn't it just an engagement meeting? What's the big deal?
But now, looking at Yao's mother, she looked like a rich lady, sitting there exuding elegance.
She felt a sour feeling in her heart.
She is obviously already in her forties.
But the years have left no trace on him.
There weren't even any wrinkles on her face.
How does this look like a woman who has given birth to a child?
Not to mention that she is a mother of two children.
Yao's father and mother never revealed the news that Yao Xu was an adopted daughter.
Only a few people know Yao Xu's background.
Even to An Wenpin, they didn't tell him about Yao Xu's life experience.
Yao Xu was a slow-tempered person, and she wouldn't mention it unless An Wenpin asked.
As a result, the An family always believed that Yao Xu was the eldest daughter of the Yao family.
When he saw Qian Xianxian who looked similar to Yao's mother.
Mother An's face looked a little unhappy.
They felt that Xianxian's existence was solely for the purpose of dividing the family property.
Yao's mother did not give birth to a son, so she will have to rely on her son-in-law in the future.
Now An Wenpin is just one step away from success, and his mother has already regarded the Yao family as hers.
Yao Xu and An Wenpin are trying hard to adjust the atmosphere.
Yao's mother did not show any particular enthusiasm for her future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Yao's father, who was standing aside, was acting in a pretentious manner with a faint smile on his face.
Finally, Mother An mustered up the courage to speak, "Well, today our two families have finally met, so why don't we discuss the wedding today?"
"We'll get the certificate after we have two children. They are almost old enough now, so it's time for them to have children."
Mother An is very good at using abacus beads.
After she finished talking about the wedding, she continued to look at Yao's parents.
"Our family's conditions are not as good as yours. I'm afraid it will be difficult for our two children to buy a house when they get married in the future."
"But young people nowadays earn money and buy houses with their own abilities, so we don't have to worry too much."
I didn't expect that in front of the two families, An's mother would speak so bluntly.
An Wenpin almost couldn't keep the smile on his face.
It's so embarrassing.
Forget it if you don’t have money.
You have to put it on the table.
Today is a good day for an engagement.
It's wrong for An's mother to openly complain about being poor.
This is basically telling Yao's parents that they can't afford a penny to help them settle down.
There is no way to buy a house for the young couple, but if the Yao family wants to buy a house for their daughter.
They had no objection either.
As soon as An's mother finished speaking, no one responded and the atmosphere in the whole room was very awkward.
Yao Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with his parents' behavior.
Their family has to pay more, so their attitude is naturally higher.
Even for today's engagement party, many things were prepared by Yao's father and mother.
An Wenpin looked at Yao Xu and winked, but the other party did not receive it.
Finally, Yao's mother spoke calmly.
"Whether we want to buy a house or not is our business. Why don't we talk about the gift first?"
"bride price?"
This really made An's mother feel a little helpless.
She looked at An Wenpin.
"Why is there a betrothal gift? Your family is rich and wealthy, so you don't need money. I didn't expect you would want money from us ordinary people?"
At the beginning, Yao's mother had no intention of interfering in Yao Xu's affairs, and she respected Yao Xu's wishes regarding the bride price.
At the beginning, Yao Xu understood that the An family didn’t have much money, so she didn’t ask for a lot of dowry.
But Yao Xu was still a little surprised when the issue of betrothal gifts was mentioned at the engagement ceremony.
She thought Yao's mother would not interfere.
Yao's mother folded her arms across her chest, looking calm and indifferent.
"No dowry? Our Yao family is rich, and we are not fools. Of course we still want a dowry, unless An Wenpin is willing to marry into the family, and the child will take our surname in the future."
"No."
Father An, who had been silent, exploded.
He slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "You can't even think of that. An Wenpin is the son of our An family. There's no reason for him to marry into the family."
Father An is a typical male chauvinist and attaches great importance to his own reputation.
It's really shameful to tell others that I'm marrying into your family.
An Wenpin on the side tried to smooth things over and said, "Mom, Dad, Uncle, and Aunt, let's talk about the betrothal gift after we get engaged."
As he spoke, he turned on the screen not far away.
The background music of the engagement began to play.
I thought I would see a very happy and warm scene.
I never expected An Wenpin and Yang Ningqing to appear in the picture.
Mother An's eyes widened in confusion, "What on earth is going on? Why are these things placed at your engagement party?"
The screen showed An Wenpin and Yang Ningqing, who were getting off work intimately, and they were having dinner together in a restaurant...
Yao Xu is not blind. The flattery in An Wenpin's eyes in the picture is too obvious.
At the end, the love history of the two is also attached.
An Wenpin hurriedly picked up the remote control and tried to turn it off.
However, the remote control on the table had long been replaced by Yao's mother.
"There's something wrong with the remote, damn."
Hearing the curses coming out of An Wenpin's mouth, Yao Xu simply couldn't believe his ears.
I didn't expect that An Wenpin, who looks elegant on weekdays, would actually swear inappropriately.
"Yao Xu, someone must be trying to mess with me on purpose."
