Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1141 - 1143: To Break Up the Lovers

"You guys are really bringing honor to your parents." Deng Juan praised them, as if her compliments cost nothing, one after another.

Xu Nianhua smiled, "Shuyuan is just as honorable for you. In the future, he’ll be a famous lawyer."

"Shuyuan is a child I never have to worry about. Still in school, he’s already opened his own shop, not only supporting himself but also his grandfather. It’s a testament to his filial nature." Deng Juan explained why Ji Xinghua was still living with Ji Shuyuan. She sighed, "He and his grandpa, they’re close, they’ve been close since he was little. We even invited his grandpa to live with us, but he didn’t want to leave Shuyuan’s side."

Deng Juan spoke so quickly, she left Xu Nianhua no opportunity to reply. Suddenly changing the subject, she said, "Nianhua, you should persuade your Shuyuan brother."

Xu Nianhua looked at her with confusion.

"Ahem, Mom."

Ji Shuyuan cleared his throat, trying to interrupt Deng Juan, but she was speaking too fast, giving him no chance. She continued, "Nianhua, I heard Shuyuan’s partner, Zheng Jin, is your classmate, right?"

"Yes." Xu Nianhua nodded, guessing in her heart whether Deng Juan was disapproving or planning to break them up.

"Talk to Shuyuan, she’s such a good girl. Her dad is someone in the city, what’s it called..." Deng Juan looked at Ji Shuyuan, always forgetting.

Ji Shuyuan pressed his lips, not wanting to speak at all. He liked Zheng Jin, and it didn’t matter what her father did.

"Xiaojin is a good kid, persuade your Shuyuan brother so that they can settle the matter sooner."

Deng Juan’s words made Xu Nianhua completely understand. Shuyuan’s aunt wasn’t disapproving or trying to break them up; rather, she feared that delays could bring unforeseen changes.

...

That evening, when Xu Nianhua mentioned it to Ji Ying, Ji Ying said, "Your aunt is just like that, no ill intentions. As long as Shuyuan understands, it’s alright. Oh, I heard Zheng Jin’s family is very pleased with Shuyuan and think he’s a promising young man."

"Shuyuan is about to graduate; it’s time he considered this." Ji Ying reflected, "When Shuyuan was just born, he was tiny like a kitten, and now he’s grown into a young man."

"Mom, does that mean we’ll soon be attending Shuyuan’s wedding banquet?" Xu Nianhua said playfully.

Ji Ying tapped her nose and said, "Probably soon. But you, I heard Yicheng wants to get engaged to you?"

"Dating is supposed to lead to marriage, isn’t it? It’d be strange if he didn’t want to get engaged or married to me." Xu Nianhua had thickened her skin now, even teasing didn’t bother her. Besides Pei Yicheng, she wouldn’t marry anyone else in this life.

"Shameless."

Ji Ying watched her smile, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Then how come nothing has happened since then?"

She was pleased with their relationship; having a title would be good for Nianhua too.

"Well..." Xu Nianhua stammered, explaining about Su Jinrong and Su Lie visiting Pei Yicheng. She said, "Cheng hasn’t told me what they talked about, but maybe we’re waiting for me to graduate?"

She spoke uncertainly.

"That’s fine too." Ji Ying reached out to lift her hair from her forehead and lowered her voice, "Nianhua, have you and Yicheng...?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ji Ying’s voice was low, leaving half the question unspoken, and Xu Nianhua’s face turned red in an instant. She cleared her throat, "Mom, we haven’t reached that step yet. I have to study, and he’s got to work. There are many things at Liunian Factory, and with the Xiyue Hotel and Pei Family matters, he’s very busy. I barely see him once or twice a month."
