Shrank to a 3-Years-Old Child Chapter 139: The Comparison of the Wealthy Families
The magnificent crystal chandelier shone brightly, clearly illuminating the entire private room and, more importantly, the farcical spectacle unfolding before it.
The ferocious-looking young man was being held back by three young men and women, while the delicate woman with a slightly protruding belly was being firmly protected behind a tall figure.
The only middle-aged woman sitting there looked on helplessly at the chaotic scene, her eyes red.
The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, causing everyone inside to freeze in place, creating a comical scene.
But Yuan Yuanyuan, watching this scene, had no desire to laugh. Anger had buried her reason, turning her into an angry fire dragon, roaring with fury.
“Stop it, all of you!”
Everyone turned to look at the person at the door in horror. Qingqing, who was standing at the back, even saw the girl who had stopped people shrink back timidly.
It seems they’ve realized they’ve made a mistake.
No, it would be better if they had just caused trouble, but what’s more serious is that they angered their mother.
“Mom…Mom, you’re back.”
The little girl immediately let go of her fourth brother’s hand, and with the spirit of “better to die than lose my friend,” she ran happily to Yuan Yuanyuan’s side and carefully supported her arm.
Seeing that her mother, though her chest heaving with anger, did not reject her affection, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did she notice that there was a very beautiful young lady following behind her mother.
She looked at the person curiously and blinked.
Qingqing smiled slightly at her and winked mischievously, startling the little girl. She then instinctively smiled politely back, revealing a small tiger tooth, looking adorably innocent.
“Come here, but don’t get too close to your mom when she’s angry.”
Thinking the little girl was cute, Qingqing kindly saved her.
“You…you are Aunt Qing?”
After getting close to Qingqing, the little girl spent a long time trying to recognize her before she could barely identify her.
Qingqing’s appearance has not changed much, but her mental age is different, so her temperament is also different from before.
In the little girl’s eyes, this meant she wasn’t as domineering or as assertive as before.
If it were the Qingqing of the past, she would definitely be the center of attention wherever she went, but the current
Qingqing lacks the presence and cannot support such a queen-like aura.
Qingqing had no intention of getting involved in her friend’s family affairs.
So she only pulled Yuan Yuanyuan’s youngest daughter to hide by the door, watching the mother tyrannosaurus breathe fire inside.
Yuan Yuanyuan is a pure and innocent flower in a prosperous era, at least on the surface.
In reality, everyone in her dorm knew that you shouldn’t anger her, no matter who you are.
Because this person really doesn’t have a good temper. This isn’t to say that Yuan Yuanyuan is irritable and easily angered; in fact, she is usually very calm and doesn’t get angry easily.
But once they get angry, the consequences are not something most people can handle.
For example, right now, the young people in the private room were scolded by her so harshly that they couldn’t even lift their heads. Even the bewildered middle-aged woman’s gaze towards Yuan Yuanyuan changed from surprise to fear.
They were clearly frightened.
Qingqing’s gaze swept over the unfamiliar girl whose hand was being held tightly by the tall young man. She breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt an indescribable sense of guilt.
She had misunderstood her. Luckily, Fu Heng reprimanded her in time, otherwise she would have made a mistake.
Having confirmed the answer, Qingqing wanted to leave.
If she stays here, it will be awkward for both sides. It’s better to make a strategic retreat first. At worst, she can invite
Yuanyuan out for a meal later to appease her.
Thinking of this, Qingqing immediately patted the little girl beside her on the shoulder and whispered, “Tell your mom I have to go.”
“Okay, Aunt Qing, take care.” Although she was reluctant to part with this talisman, the little girl was even more unwilling to let outsiders see her family’s shameful secrets, so she decisively saw Qingqing off.
Back in her private room, after closing the door and shutting out all the noise from the outside world, Qingqing’s tense back finally relaxed.
“Why did it take so long?” Fu Heng asked her, turning his head after she sat down.
“I ran into my former college roommate and we chatted for a bit.”
Qingqing offered a casual explanation, her attitude indifferent.
Seeing her like this, Fu Heng frowned slightly, but he couldn’t ask her anything in public. He could only lower his head in a sullen manner and silently put meat on her plate.
This person is always like this; he thinks that if he makes her angry, he should just try to appease her silently, but he doesn’t know how to say anything nice to coax her.
Qingqing curled the corners of her lips slightly, then quickly straightened them, pretending nothing had happened.
The next meal went smoothly.
Although the initial meeting between the two families was a bit overly polite, both sides were at least concerned about the future happiness of their children, so the atmosphere was relatively harmonious. By the end of the conversation, the marriage between Fu Sijin and Yu Yu was basically settled.
Qingqing and Mother Yu were of the same mind: even if they were in a hurry, they could not be perfunctory.
After all, this is the most important wedding in their first/only child’s life, so it must be treated with utmost seriousness and absolutely cannot be taken lightly.
A shared viewpoint led Qingqing and Mother Yu to along very well, and they even added each other as friends, waiting to meet up again sometime to continue their chat.
They will need to communicate more about the subsequent wedding preparations, and of course, the participation of the wedding parties is also essential.
Qingqing is not the kind of mother who arranges everything for her children and then lets them reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
If that were the case, Fu Sijin and Fu Sishen would never have grown into the outstanding young men they are today; they might have become two mama’s boys.
“Put the bill for room 602 under my name as well.”
Before leaving, Qingqing specifically instructed the restaurant manager, who rushed over upon hearing the news, to pay for Yuan Yuanyuan’s family’s bill as well.
Since we’ve run into each other, and it’s on our own turf, it’s only natural to treat each other to a meal.
“Yes, Mr. Gu.”
The manager tactfully complied, and even arranged for someone to deliver a fruit platter to room 602, subtly reminding everyone that it was their boss, Mr. Gu, who was treating them.
Whether the guest appreciates it or not, the favor has been clearly given.
We must never let our boss do good deeds and then go unrecognized.
Upon receiving the fruit platter from Qingqing, and enduring the envious gazes of her future in-laws, Yuan Yuanyuan rubbed her forehead, sighing inwardly. Looking at the mess on the ground, she couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of exhaustion.
No matter how tired she was, she forced herself to be polite and thank him, saying, “Please thank your CEO Gu for me.”
“Okay.” With the task completed, the manager gracefully withdrew.
After everyone left, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly stood up, forced a smile, and said to the middle-aged woman who looked even more frail than herself, “I’m sorry, in-law, I’m not feeling well, so I’ll have to leave first. What happened today was because my child wronged you and your daughter, and I sincerely apologize to you here.”
“No…it’s alright, the children are just being mischievous and playing around normally. You don’t need to do this, in-law.”
The middle-aged woman, filled with trepidation, tried to reach out to help Yuan Yuanyuan, but she subtly avoided her.
“If you do something wrong, you have to apologize and be punished. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t apologize. I won’t make excuses for my child’s mistakes.”
Her righteous indignation left people speechless, unable to find a way to refute her.
With her handbag slung over her shoulder, Yuan Yuanyuan glanced coldly at her youngest son before turning and striding away.
“Hey, in-law!” The timid middle-aged woman, seeing Yuan Yuanyuan about to leave, suddenly called out to her loudly, seemingly out of nowhere. After Yuan Yuanyuan stopped, she belatedly realized what she had done, her face immediately turning red as she stammered in protest.
“Actually, it’s nothing much, I just… I just wanted to ask…”
“…Regarding the marriage of the two children…”
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became; the more she spoke, the more timid she became.
She is a timid woman by nature, and today, for the sake of her only daughter, she has used up all the courage she has ever had in her life.
Fortunately, Yuan Yuanyuan had no intention of making things difficult for anyone.
Ignoring her youngest son’s desperate attempts to signal her, she answered her future mother-in-law’s question gently: “We already have grandchildren, so how about this: let the children get their marriage certificate after the New Year, and then we’ll prepare for their wedding after the baby is born.”
This is not a question, but a statement.
Do not allow others to refuse.
Yuan Yuanyuan had no objections to her future daughter-in-law, since they didn’t plan to live with their sons anyway.
The elderly couple will travel around as long as they can still move around, to see the beautiful landscapes of their country. When they can no longer travel, they will find a nursing home to live in with a group of other old folks and enjoy their twilight years in peace and comfort.
Isn’t that better than causing trouble for the children and having conflicts with the younger generation?
Anyway, they think this kind of retirement life is pretty good.
Of course, these are all plans that Yuan Yuanyuan and her husband have for their future, and there is no need to say them out loud, but these ideas have also influenced her attitude.
She didn’t care much about what kind of daughters-in-law her sons married. As long as they were of decent character and her sons liked them, she would readily agree to their marriage.
But today’s events still made her unhappy.
She was mainly angry with her own children, and also disappointed that the two brothers hadn’t communicated well and had made the situation so ugly.
So she won’t ignore the wedding procedures that need to be followed, but she’s lost the initial enthusiasm.
That makes sense, it’s her eldest son and future daughter-in-law getting married, not her, so why is she so eager to participate?
Working yourself to the bone and getting no credit.
She scoffed inwardly. Yuan Yuanyuan was really leaving this time, taking with her her troublemaking youngest son and her youngest daughter who was worried about her twin brother being punished by their mother.
Today, the two families met. She didn’t allow the other children, especially her youngest son, to come, but they all ignored her words.
It seems she really can’t control them anymore.
When they got home, the younger daughter noticed that her mother didn’t look well and timidly asked, “Mom, are you alright?”
Yuan Yuanyuan collapsed wearily onto the sofa without responding.
Until her youngest son stormed over and stood in front of her, repeatedly accusing her: “Mom, didn’t I tell you before not to let my eldest brother marry that woman? How could you still meet with her? What about getting the marriage certificate after the New Year? I won’t allow that woman to enter our house!”
Suddenly opening her eyes, Yuan Yuanyuan stared coldly at her youngest son, her voice equally icy.
“Why can’t you? This family isn’t your place to be in charge!”
His cheeks flushed red from his mother’s merciless retort, and the younger son angrily retorted, “What about my older brother stealing my woman? Why don’t you go and scold him? You’re only talking about me! You’re biased! Anyway, I don’t care, if that woman enters our house, I’m never coming back…”
“Slap!” The crisp sound of a slap brought everything to a halt.
Enraged to the point of blurred vision, Yuan Yuanyuan was truly disappointed in her youngest son.
She picked up her phone, her hands trembling, and transferred 30,000 yuan to him.
“Take this money and get out of here. You are not allowed to set foot in this house again until you truly realize your mistakes. From now on, Dad and I will never give you another penny!”
“Mom!” The youngest daughter looked at her in shock, but Yuan Yuanyuan had already gotten up and gone back to her room.
She was afraid she would have a heart attack if she saw this disgusting thing again.
“Hmph, fine, I’ll leave then.”
Young and hot-blooded people couldn’t stand such humiliation, so they didn’t even take a piece of clothing and simply turned around and left.
On the sofa in Fu Heng’s office, Qingqing was curled up playing games when she suddenly received a private message.
[Sesame Dumpling: I chased my youngest son away, but I couldn’t bear it, so I gave him 30,000 yuan in the end.]
[Qingqing is a rich woman: Don’t be sad. When the children grow up, they will understand your good intentions.]
[Sesame Dumpling: Sigh, tell me, am I a terrible parent? Neither of them is easy to manage.]
[Qingqing is a rich girl: Don’t overthink it, they’re just not grown up yet.]
[Sesame Dumplings: Never mind, let’s not talk about these unhappy things. I’m a little sleepy, I’m going to rest now.]
[Qingqing is a rich woman: Okay.]
A while later, Yuan Yuanyuan, who was still sulking in the room and hadn’t slept at all, received a takeout order.
Her favorite fried skewers and a cup of cooling herbal tea.
It was obvious who sent it, and she was both amused and deeply moved.
As expected, your best friend understands you the most.
