Chapter 334: Meeting the Parents (Part Two)
As the two servants saw Mu Qing dragging a pretty girl inside, they both got startled. They exchanged a look with each other and noticed the surprise of joy inside their eyes –”Could the Third Master have brought home a lady-to-be?”
Aunt Bai continued to pick the worms with pincers as she said happily, “That would be wonderful! Third Master is not young anymore, and he should have a family of his own.”
Aunt Lin also couldn’t stop smiling. “That is true! Fourth Master is two years younger than him but he is already married. Fifth Lady is engaged as well. Our Third Master is the only one left. Great, Old Master doesn’t need to be worried any more!”
Mu Qing took Zhao Anan into the backyard which was many times bigger than the small garden and led to the pavilion.
As they approached, they noticed that Mu Wensheng was not alone. Opposite him was a vital man dressed in a navy blue suit, Jing Tianyuan.
The two aged men got startled at the sight of them, forgetting the chess pieces in their hands.
Mu Qing greeted the two seniors courteously, “Greeting, Grandpa Jing. I am here, Grandpa.”
Zhao Anan had calmed down a bit after being dragged in by Mu Qing. She was here and she was open to any punishment. She could be scolded by old Mu or something else might happen. But she was not scared, because even her cousin Jing Yichen had been scolded by the old man as well.
She stood by Mu Qing’s side steadily and said loudly, “Greetings, Grandpa Jing and Grandpa Mu!”
With hand on his chin, Jing Tianyuan nodded at these two people with a stiff face and said, “Hi, okay.”
It had been a tradition that the men of Family Jing were the silent types. Jing Yichen didn’t speak much and Jing Zhongxiu barely spoke. Grandpa Jing Tianyuan was even more silent. They always behaved like this towards those whom they didn’t know much. As a matter of fact, Jing Tianyuan was an old and happy man. He fed birds and bred fish every day and argued with Mu Wensheng, totally different from his time as a young man.
Jing Tianyuan stopped talking and waited for the show to begin.
It seemed that Mu Qing was going to ask Old Mu for permission with Zhao Anan!
Jing Tianyuan knew about Mu Qing and Zhao Anan. He also knew that Mu Wensheng had been worried about this matter – he had already known that Mu Qing and Zhao Anan got back together.
Mu Wenshng had been thinking about separating the couple the day before when his grandson came to his door the following day.
Ha, he was right to be here. There was going to be a good show!
Hopefully Mu Qing would be firm enough to annoy this old man, because he had just lost all games to him today and was very annoyed. Mu Qing was here on the right time to give Mu Wensheng trouble. It was great!
Seeing his grandson holding Zhao Anan’s hands, Mu Wensheng frowned.
He was just about to say something when Mu Qing said loudly, “Grandpa, Anan and I are deeply in love with each other and I will marry no one except for her. I am here to tell you that we are engaged and I will be responsible to her only and she will only be with me! There is no way that you can stop us.”
After Mu Qing finished his words, he left with Zhao Anan before Mu Wensheng could form any response.
Zhao Anan almost fell because of the pulling. She turned around and bid the seniors farewell. “Bye, Grandpa Jing and Grandpa Mu!”
What was that?
That was it?
They just left… in this way?
Jing Tianyuan almost gasped. What was Mu Qing thinking?
So boring!
Mu Wensheng got so furious of the manner in which his grandson had spoken with him.
This sc.u.mbag dared to talk with him in this way!
And he dared to get engaged without reporting about it first?
He even dared to threaten him!
He had bred an unfilial man.
Apparently, his grandson had rushed to him without preparation and spilled something to him without thinking before taking off hurriedly!
When would this sc.u.mbag grandson change his recklessness?
He had tried to explain to him so many times but he didn’t understand or remember anything well.
Jing Tianyuan’s grandson, for example, was steady and mature. He didn’t even frown even if heavens fell down and that was why he became a king.
His grandson was not a silly man and had been well educated. But he just didn’t have the charisma of being dominating. How annoying!
But what Old Mu didn’t think of was that he himself was not a man with a dominating personality and there was no way that he could make his grandson into one.
Jing Yichen was cold partly because of the genes. Family Jing’s men had always been cold and distant, not just him.
Mu Wensheng struck the chess piece upon the table and bellowed furiously as his beard s.h.i.+vered out of anger. “This b.a.s.t.a.r.d is simply too troublesome! Why does he like that girl so much? What if she dies halfway? What would we do about the grandchildren of Family Mu!”
“He just wants to annoy me to death! Always being so impolite! What a waste to have bred him up to this age! It is so unfair that your grandson is so steady and mature when you have not spent so much time grooming him.”
Jing Tianyuan glared at him and said, “Hey, old Mu, are you being silly or jealous of my grandson being steady and having a good wife? It is not unfair, it is totally fair!”
He shouted and sounded proud, looking content.
Jing Tianyuan had an excellent grandson who could do everything and had developed Family Jing well and married a virtuous woman. The wife was good looking and healthy and had a good destiny too.
That was all that was needed to annoy Mu Wensheng!
Mu Wensheng could have argued with Jing Tianyuan in daily life, but what happened today was not a joking matter. It would be a disaster if his grandson insisted on marrying that sick girl of Family Zhao.
Even if Zhao Anan was able to live until 99 safe and sound and give birth to babies, yet cancer could be pa.s.sed onto the next generation.
He didn’t want his great grandson to get cancer too!
This concerned the generation of Family Mu and he will not allow Mu Qing to make a mess!
But Mu Qing had been brought up by Mu Wensheng and he knew his grandson well.
Mu Qing was an easygoing man in daily life but if he ever took anything serious, it would be impossible to change his mind.
Mu Wensheng scratched his unkempt hair annoyedly. He had to come up with a perfect method.
