Chapter 405 They brought us together, so I went along with it.
I don't have a girlfriend!
Ji Yubai was shocked.
How can you be so self-righteous about not having a girlfriend? Don't you have any self-awareness at your age?
"Don't your parents urge you?" Ji Yubai asked, puzzled.
"Why rush them? It's not like you'll get married and have a grandchild tomorrow just because we've been urging them!"
A sense of helplessness welled up in Ji Yubai's heart. "Hey, you even managed to rhyme."
Fu Shengyang and Chu Xiao are always trying to make him seem profound, so why is Leng Fangyi also trying to be intense with him?
While they were talking, Leng Fang prepared to kick off.
Ji Yubai's mind was clearly not on playing billiards.
Undeterred, he asked, "Tell me the truth, why did your sister-in-law bring Zhen Zhen along?"
"I don't know."
Leng Fangyi truly didn't know.
Xiaoyue only told him that he was going to bring a friend.
He simply hummed in agreement.
Ji Yubai narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had caught a faint signal.
"I think Aunt Fang was very warm towards her."
"This is normal."
Leng Fang didn't take it to heart. Who wouldn't his mother be warm to? Except for her own son.
“In our family, men have no status; girls are the real treasures. Take my sister, for example, your sister-in-law. She's the little princess who's the apple of everyone's eye. If she's even slightly upset, my dad and my grandpa will immediately rush to the First People's Hospital of Beijing and confront the hospital's leaders.”
Ji Yubai looked at him strangely, "You know that's not what I meant by enthusiasm."
Leng Fangyi had never felt that Ji Yubai had ever been so hesitant and awkward.
He stopped and stared blankly at Ji Yubai. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Every pore on Ji Yubai's body was screaming, how could Leng Fangyi be so clueless, like a block of wood?
"Since that's the case, I'll be frank. Zhenzhen is an artist in my dad's company. She works very hard, and the company is determined to promote her to the position of Best Actress. Her life has not been easy, and the adults are trying to match you two up. If you don't want to, don't say anything too hurtful."
Everyone liked the family atmosphere of the Leng and Fu families, not to mention Zhenzhen, who had never received family warmth.
He was willing to guarantee that if the elders tried to match Zhen Zhen and Leng Fangyi up, Zhen Zhen would definitely have no objections.
However, it's hard to say whether Leng Fangyi will agree.
It had only been a few days since Zhen Zhen and Gao Qi's affair happened.
He couldn't stop the elders from introducing her, so he could only talk to Leng Fang to persuade her not to hurt Zhen Zhen.
If Zhen gets hurt too badly, it will affect his work.
Leng Fangyi finally understood what Ji Yubai was trying to say.
"You're overthinking it. Nobody's trying to set me up with her. My family is very open-minded. I don't have a boyfriend right now. My family wants me to focus on building my career first."
Ji Yubai still didn't believe it and asked again, "Your parents and grandfather really haven't pressured you to find a partner?"
Leng Fangyi is about the same age as them, so how could Aunt Fang and Uncle Leng not urge them?
They just haven't made it clear yet.
Just like his old man, at first he was lured with money, and only in the end did he resort to coercion.
Leng Fangyi rolled her eyes at him, letting him figure it out for himself.
Ji Yubai was rebuffed, but he still insisted,
"Anyway, I'm just letting you know first. Women have pride, so don't refuse in front of everyone."
Leng Fang aimed his gaze at the white ball, ready to break.
"Don't worry, if they try to match us up, I'll definitely go along with my family's arrangements."
As he finished speaking, with a "snap," the colorful balls scattered across the table.
what?
What did he just hear?
Ji Yubai felt a buzzing in his ears, as if countless bees were flying around them.
"What did you say?" Ji Yubai asked uncertainly.
“I said, if my family is willing to play matchmaker, I will follow their arrangements.”
Ji Yubai jumped up, pointed at Leng Fangyi's nose, and yelled, "Are you crazy?!"
Leng Fangyi felt his reaction was making a fuss over nothing. "It's just a marriage, it's not that big of a deal."
"Tell me! When did you take a liking to Zhen Zhen?"
"I didn't like her."
"Then why did you still marry her?"
“My family is quite traditional. Traditional Chinese medicine techniques must have an heir, so I definitely need to get married and carry on the family line. Anyway, I don’t have anyone I like, so it doesn’t matter who I marry, I might as well choose someone they are satisfied with. Zhenzhen is my sister’s friend. If I marry her, Xiaoyue and the others will come over for dinner every day, and no one will gossip. More importantly, everyone knows each other well, so it won’t affect the harmony of our family.”
Ji Yubai was hit where it hurt and fell silent instantly.
What Leng Fangyi said is correct.
The most important thing in a family is to live in harmony, understand and respect each other.
It's good to have a family atmosphere like the Leng family, where the brothers can still live together after they get married, not to mention going out together as a family.
He is now facing an age-old problem: the conflict between his mother and daughter-in-law.
The baby in Lingxi's belly is actually very healthy.
Lingxi took the pills prescribed by Grandpa Leng and smoothly got through the morning sickness stage.
Lingxi's emotions stabilized, and his life got better day by day.
However, when Mom and Dad went out to play, Mom bought some medicine from abroad and sent it back.
It's said to be a medicine to help babies' brains and nerves.
They also say that a baby's starting line begins in the womb, so it's essential to supplement their diet.
Whether it's nutritional supplements or medicine, once ingested, they will have an impact on the body.
Lingxi didn't want to eat.
Even though there's a time difference of over ten hours, her mother would make video calls to make sure Lingxi ate properly before she felt at ease.
So, he, as a son and husband, became the filling in a sandwich.
It seemed like a very small matter, and no one had any ill intentions.
But if he's not careful with a word or two, he'll find himself in a difficult position, pleasing neither side.
Not only did it anger her mother, but it also caused Lingxi, who was pregnant, to feel wronged.
Having gone through all of this, he now realizes that Leng Fang's considerations were thorough.
If you get married, you can't live separately from your parents and be financially independent.
Therefore, marriage is not just a matter between two people.
He doesn't know what to do about the conflict between his mother and daughter-in-law.
Ji Yubai didn't speak or play ball, and Leng Fangyi watched him sit there dejectedly.
"What? Let me just assume you're that worried about the pillar of your company?"
"No." Ji Yubai picked up the low-alcohol fruit wine and took a sip, his previous jumping and shouting energy completely gone.
Ji Shao, who has always loved collecting and tasting wine, can actually drink a bottle of fruit wine that costs only a few dollars?
eccentric!
Leng Fang realized that Ji Yubai had something on his mind.
"Your eyes are dark and your lips are dull. You're not getting enough sleep. What's causing you so much stress?"
Ji Yubai looked out the window at the bare trees and the white expanse of ground; winter was a desolate and lifeless season.
How should he handle the medication situation in a way that makes everyone feel comfortable?
Unable to think of a solution, Ji Yubai simply spoke up.
“My mom bought some random medicines and sent them back. She makes sure Lingxi takes them every day. The closer it gets to their return date, the more irritable I become. A war between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is about to break out, and I have no idea what to do.”
Upon hearing this, Leng Fangyi looked relaxed and said, "I thought it was something serious."
Ji Yubai understood the deeper meaning, "You have a way?"
Leng Fang looked around to make sure it was just the two of them before lowering his voice and explaining his solution.
"Oh dear... how come I didn't think of that? I'll go down the mountain right now."
Leng Fang blinked and said mysteriously, "No need to go down the mountain."
