The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 527: Chapter 526: Leaving It Empty Is Such a Waste

Seeing his mother like this, Zeng Jiahe couldn’t help but say, ”Mom, we’re almost there, please stop talking.”

Mrs. Zeng, upon hearing this, finally stopped speaking, but her eyes were still full of brightness. She felt that it was truly wonderful that her son married Mo Xiaohong. Who would have thought back then that Ding Yuejun and her daughter would have such fortune.

When the group arrived at the Ding family, Yiyi led Mo Xiaohong’s family inside.

”Wow... Yiyi, is this your house? This... this is so beautiful. I’ve never seen such a big and beautiful house before.” Mrs. Zeng looked around in amazement, feeling that her eyes couldn’t take it all in. Such a large house, how many people could live here? Moreover, this was a house in Shangjing; it seemed that Ding Yuejun’s family background was even better than she thought.

Seeing Mrs. Zeng like this, Mo Xiaohong felt a bit embarrassed. She held Yiyi’s hand with some unease.

Yiyi noticed and patted Mo Xiaohong’s hand with a smile. She didn’t mind it at all; it was normal for Mrs. Zeng to be amazed, considering it was her first time in Shangjing.

Mo Xiaohong was somewhat apprehensive, fearing that Yiyi might be displeased. Seeing Yiyi’s reaction, she was relieved.

Once they reached the living room, Ding Yuejun quickly approached with a smile.

”Xiaohong, you’re here, come and sit down.” She then greeted Father Zeng and Mrs. Zeng.

Shanshan dashed over and sweetly called out to her grandmother.

”Our Shanshan has grown so tall; Grandma almost didn’t recognize her.”

Mo Xiaohong laughed on the side, ”Shanshan has indeed grown a lot taller recently and is more mature than before.”

”Our Shanshan has always been very sensible,” Ding Yuejun said with a smile, then introduced Old Master Ding to everyone, ”This is my father.”

Seeing the dignified old man in front of her, Mo Xiaohong softly called, ”Grandpa.”

Old Master Ding glanced at Mo Xiaohong, and finally, he responded. He was well aware of Mo Xiaohong’s background, knowing that she had no blood relation to Yue Jun, but since Yue Jun valued this stepdaughter so much, he wouldn’t say much.

With Mo Xiaohong’s introduction, Zeng Jiahe wasn’t so hesitant. He quickly stepped forward with a smile and also called out ”Grandpa,” but he said no more. Only just now did he recall why Old Master Ding seemed familiar; he had seen him on TV before and finally realized Old Master Ding’s identity.

In that instant, he felt a huge shock in his heart. He never expected that his mother-in-law’s biological father would be such a high-ranking person, so he didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.

At this time, Father Zeng and Mrs. Zeng also stepped forward to greet him.

Mrs. Zeng originally wanted to say something more, but seeing Old Master Ding’s expression, she tightly shut her mouth and dared not say more.

Old Master Ding came to see Father Zeng and Mrs. Zeng entirely out of consideration for Ding Yuejun. Now that he had seen them, he didn’t plan to stay long, directly looking at Ding Yuejun and saying, ”Yuejun, you should entertain the in-laws well. I have some matters to attend to, so I’m heading out.”

”Alright, Dad, you go ahead and get busy.”

After Old Master Ding left, Mrs. Zeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Ding Yuejun and asked, ”Yuejun, your father is so busy even at such an old age. Hasn’t he retired yet?”

”He’s retired, but sometimes he still needs to handle a few things.”

Ding Yuejun said with a smile.

Mrs. Zeng wanted to ask more, but Zeng Jiahe promptly pulled her aside, saying, ”Mom, didn’t you just say you were thirsty? Hurry and have a cup of tea to refresh yourself.”

Interrupted by her son, Mrs. Zeng said no more and picked up the tea cup for a sip, but she had always not been much of a tea drinker and couldn’t taste the quality of the tea. She only remarked, ”This tea is bitter, it’s not as tasty as soda.”

Housekeeper Ding had been standing by, and upon hearing this, couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

You have to know, this was pre-Qingming Longjing tea, not something just anyone could drink. Yet the woman in front of him said it wasn’t as good as soda.

Ding Yuejun didn’t say much, just remarked with a smile, ”Then let’s switch to soda.” As she spoke, she asked someone to get soda.

Seeing that there were people waiting to serve at any time in the living room, Mrs. Zeng only felt that the Ding family was even more out of the ordinary.

After the group rested for a while, Ding Yuejun cheerfully invited everyone to eat.

The food was naturally sumptuous, and Mo Xiaohong’s family ate quite a lot. Mrs. Zeng praised continuously, ”Yuejun, the food is really delicious. If only I could eat such good food every day.”

Ding Yuejun did not respond to this, she just smiled and said nothing.

Yiyi also focused on her meal, casually serving her little niece some food.

Seeing that no one responded to her words, Mrs. Zeng awkwardly chuckled and continued eating.

Zeng Jiahe frowned seeing his mother like this. Ever since she decided on her own for everyone to come to Shangjing, he felt she had changed, but with so many people around, he could say no more.

After the meal, Zeng Jiahe mentioned going to the hotel. Before coming, he had decided that since they came to play on their own, they shouldn’t let his mother-in-law spend money, they’d handle their own meals and accommodation.

However, Mrs. Zeng was clearly displeased upon hearing this, saying, ”Yuejun’s house is so big; why should we stay in a hotel? We could just stay here; it saves extra expenses.”

Zeng Jiahe quickly said, ”It’s not convenient for us to stay here. It’s better to stay at a hotel closer to the station.”

Mrs. Zeng, however, had already decided to stay. The Ding family’s house was not only beautiful, the food was delicious, and there were people constantly on standby to serve you. Where else can you find such a life? She wasn’t going to the hotel.

Seeing his mother act this way, Zeng Jiahe couldn’t help but look at his father.

Unexpectedly, Father Zeng didn’t say a thing and just sat there as if nothing was happening.

Zeng Jiahe’s expression turned somewhat grim. They had all agreed before coming, yet his parents had now changed their minds.

In the end, it was Ding Yuejun who said, ”There are vacant guest rooms, you can stay in the house.”

”Oh, Yuejun, thank you so much.” Mrs. Zeng said with a bright smile, then looked at Mo Xiaohong and suggested, ”Xiaohong, your family can stay together, and we, the old couple, will take one room; we’d only need two rooms this way.”

Ding Yuejun just smiled and said nothing more, finally arranging the Mo family in a courtyard. The entire courtyard was quite spacious, with plenty of rooms to accommodate their family comfortably.

Seeing the beautifully arranged room, Mrs. Zeng discontentedly said, ”The in-law is really something; with such a big courtyard empty, she could have said to let us stay here from the start. Otherwise, this empty courtyard is just wasted space.”
