I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 488: Left for Grandson's Wife
In this situation, Su Chengyi folded his hands behind his head and said slowly:
"But I don't think you're a particularly good mother on weekdays."

"Oh my! You kid, you're ruining my conversation!"

Yang Liu raised her eyebrows and glared at him.

It really hit a sore spot, otherwise I wouldn't react so strongly.

When Yang Liu was acting the role of a wonderful mother-in-law in front of Chen Jinzhi just now, she felt a little guilty because she was afraid that Su Chengyi would show up and ruin her show.

Su Chengyi showed a smile that showed he was enjoying watching the fun.

"Just telling the truth."

He turned to look at Chen Jinzhi and continued with a smile:
"Let me tell you, when she was a kid, she cooked beans and noodles for me, but they were not cooked through. I told her about it but she refused to believe it. She ended up eating so much that she had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance to have her stomach washed."

Chen Jinzhi burst out laughing and shook his head.

"But I didn't know that uncooked beans can't be eaten."

"?"

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows and a question mark appeared on his face.

I don't know if Chen Jinzhi was speaking with high emotional intelligence to help Yang Liu out, or if she really didn't know this common sense.

If they really didn't know, then it was a good thing that these two were not biological mother and daughter. Otherwise, if faced with such a situation, the cub Chen Jinzhi would have just eaten the uncooked beans in big mouthfuls out of respect.

In the end, both of them fell unconscious at home.

"Right, right! How can people be so fragile? You can't eat sprouted potatoes, unripe beans, or fresh day lilies! Aren't there traps everywhere? Is there any safe food in the world?"

Yang Liu pounded the table indignantly.

Su Chengyi remembered that after the beans incident, she bought a book called "Food Safety Science Encyclopedia" to brush up on her knowledge, and she would search the catalog before cooking every time.

In this way, although it is safe, the taste is not improved much.

Every time Yang Liu enthusiastically served a carefully prepared dish, she would be mercilessly ridiculed by Su Zelang. Over time, she finally lost all her enthusiasm for cooking.

In the end, this "Food Safety Science Encyclopedia" was reduced to being used as a table leg support.

"Jinzhi, please judge for yourself. Every time you work hard for half a day to make a dish, one of the two people at the table laughs while the other looks disgusted! Who would want to cook in this situation?"

Yang Liu held Chen Jinzhi's hand and poured out her grievances.

Chen Jinzhi lowered her head and smiled. Since she had no passion for food, she had not yet learned to cook systematically, but she could roughly understand Yang Liu's feeling of frustration.

Chen Jinzhi recalled that Su Chengyi would occasionally cook a bowl of plain noodles for her, which always tasted good.

It seems that his cooking skills were probably inherited from his father Su.

Should this be considered a manifestation of good luck?
Chen Jinzhi thought that maybe she should also sign up for a cooking class.

When would she have time? She began trying to make room in her mental schedule.

Su Chengyi on the side smiled, and then recalled the chaotic scene when Yang Liu was cooking.

What’s interesting is that although Su Zelang kept laughing, he would still honestly complete the Green Plate Campaign in the end.

Even if that plate of sweet and sour pork tastes like burnt food, even if that plate of dumplings is cooked so well that the skin is just skin and the filling is just filling, leaving no appetite.

"Apart from that, as a good mother, you should at least help with homework."

Su Chengyi continued.

Speaking of Yang Liu, she became even more angry. She immediately turned around and complained to Chen Jinzhi:

"Jinzhi, you don't know, this guy loved reading those incomprehensible books when he was a kid. Every time he made a list of books and asked me to help buy them, I checked and found that these were college textbooks!

Although my aunt's grades were not particularly outstanding when she was studying, they were still acceptable. But he couldn't ask me, a liberal arts student, to do advanced math problems. This major is so inappropriate!

Don't laugh, kid. Do you still remember how silly you looked when you were a kid learning ballroom dancing?"

Yang Liu looked at Su Chengyi's smug smile and said sinisterly.

Su Chengyi immediately sat up straight and behaved himself.

That was simply a shadow of his childhood!

When I was in the first grade of elementary school, the school suddenly lost its mind and required everyone to perform some kind of ballroom dance at the next festival performance. They also organized the practice directly in the physical education class, without even giving us a chance to escape.

Su Chengyi, who has no dancing talent and suffers from social phobia, was lucky enough to be assigned a very good dance partner. In order not to drag others down, he went home to practice secretly to surprise everyone.

Of course, the final ending still looks like a newly-made scarecrow.

"Hahaha, that was the first time I saw Xiao Yi so panicked. You know, he would never take the initiative to ask for our help even if we beat him to death!"

When this matter was mentioned, Yang Liu laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

"Jinzhi, if you knew him when he was a child, you would probably think this kid is really funny!"

"Um"

Chen Jinzhi suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth and looked at Su Chengyi with tenderness.

She liked hearing about his childhood and felt like she was witnessing a part of his life that she had no part in.

"Okay, that's all for the reveal."

Now it was Su Chengyi's turn to surrender. He didn't have many memories of his childhood, but he roughly remembered that he was definitely not a likable child.

This can be seen from the feedback from Miss Chu. She is simply the biggest victim.

Every time I can't help but complain sadly that he always has a sour face, as if everyone in the world owes him millions.

Even King Mian, a top-notch cute and adorable human cub who is loved by everyone and makes flowers bloom, has to be defeated by him, which shows how difficult he was as a child.

But at this point, Su Chengyi couldn't help but wonder, if he hadn't been reborn, would Chen Jinzhi still like him?
Judging from his previous temperament, it would be difficult for him to interfere in Chen Jinzhi's affairs.

But it's not just because he's afraid of trouble. Su Chengyi thought, it's very likely that he didn't even notice the existence of Chen Jinzhi.

Although she was a transfer student beautiful enough to shock the whole school, Su Chengyi just lived quietly in her own world and didn't care about anything else.

So, this is obviously a difficult problem of the century that is difficult to answer.

"Oh, speaking of exposing the truth, I suddenly remembered something important!"

This time, Yang Liu seemed to be reminded by him. She slapped her thigh and stood up. Then, without paying any attention to the two confused people on the sofa, she hurriedly ran into the bedroom.

"what?"

Su Chengyi didn't react to what she was trying to do.

Could it be that he had exposed her image of being the "goodest mother-in-law" and she went back to the house to find the clothesline to beat him up?
But this was not Yang Liu's job in the past. Usually Su Zelang would just wave the bamboo stick a few times to bluff, but he would never really hit him.

There was a series of "ding-ding-bang" sounds coming from the bedroom, and she seemed to be rummaging through something in the drawer.

Su Chengyi withdrew his inquiring gaze and turned to look at Chen Jinzhi, thinking that this was a good opportunity to settle the score.

"Ms. Chen Jinzhi, may I ask why you thought of saying those words just now?"

Su Chengyi took a step closer, raised her chin with his hand and stared at her.

The question he asked was very obvious, it was about the same things she had just said to Yang Liu.

Chen Jinzhi was held down by him obediently and did not resist. He just curved his eyebrows and shook his head slightly.

This angle makes it seem like he is a scoundrel who molests women.

"It's no use being cute, just tell the truth."

Su Chengyi pinched her face threateningly, his tone serious.

She spoke so smoothly just now, without any hesitation. It was obvious that she had been entangled in these things for a long time, but she had never mentioned it to herself.

Although I know Chen Jinzhi has a lot of secret thoughts, I still don't want her to have such a negative and inferior mentality. "If I tell you these things, you will definitely get angry like you are now."

Chen Jinzhi raised the corner of his mouth in a beautiful arc, his eyes were clear and gentle.

"."

It seems true.

For a moment, Su Chengyi didn't know how to refute.

"Found it, found it!"

At this time, a joyful shout came from the bedroom, and Yang Liu ran out again kicking her slippers.

She was holding a box carefully in her hands.

Su Chengyi took a quick look and saw that it was made of rosewood, and the workmanship looked very delicate and beautiful.

He was thinking that the treasures were like those hidden behind secret rooms in wealthy families in movies and TV shows, and they were a bit like the things that would appear in his grandfather's house.

"This is what your grandmother left behind."

Yang Liu carefully placed the box on the coffee table.

"grandmother?"

Su Chengyi was slightly stunned. He had almost no impression of his grandmother.

She died of illness before he could even remember.

The portrait on the wall was also hung in the corner. During festivals, Su Chengyi would be asked to go and pay homage and light a stick of incense in person.

In the black and white photo, my grandmother looks to be only in her 40s or 50s. Her facial features are softer than those of a willow-like figure. She looks like a well-educated, gentle and refined person.

Apart from that, I only remember that my grandfather often sat in the room that was said to be where she lived, in a daze for the entire afternoon.

Su Chengyi knew that he couldn't disturb his grandfather at this time, so he just secretly peeked through the door frame.

At that time, he didn’t know how to describe the expression on his grandfather’s face, but now he understood that it was nostalgia.

"Well, mom hasn't opened it either."

Yang Liu's hands were shaking nervously as she held the box, but a bigger part of the reason was out of curiosity. God knows how she had convinced herself not to secretly open it over the years!
"This is something your grandmother emphasized, saying that she wanted to leave it to her granddaughter-in-law."

"Oh."

Su Chengyi nodded, and said calmly as if it was a matter of course:

"Then you can open it now."

"?"

Chen Jinzhi quickly reached out and grabbed his elbow, and said nervously:
"Ah, well, actually we don't need to do that now."

Just by looking at the box, you can tell that the object in front of you must be worth a lot of money. Plus, it is the "relics" of a deceased relative, so it seems a little too expensive.

It would be too casual to just open it like that. After all, you should think about it carefully before opening it.
"One, two, three, open!!!"

However, the mother and son had no intention of listening to her advice and went straight to the unboxing challenge with great joy.

Chen Jinzhi: "."

When you two are choosing your wives, can you please pay attention to the opinions of the parties involved?

After the box was opened, a faint scent of rosewood soon emanated, and the contents inside were obviously well protected.

Su Chengyi did not hesitate, he just reached out and uncovered the silk cloth used to prevent dust.

What lay in the box turned out to be a jade bracelet.

You can tell at first glance that this is very high-quality jade, fresh and translucent green, with icy floating flowers.

Yang Liu was obviously a connoisseur, and he hissed immediately and murmured:
"No wonder she didn't ask me to open it in advance. She must be afraid that I would take it for myself. What a hateful old lady."

Su Chengyi laughed and reached out to take out the jade bracelet.

"Be careful! Don't fall."

Yang Liu held her hands underneath and followed his movements closely.

Judging from the cautiousness with which the old lady instructed her, the value of this small jade bracelet must be extremely exaggerated. She had never been so cautious with the ancient paintings and antiques in the house.

Su Chengyi held the jade bracelet in her hand and turned her head to look at Chen Jinzhi. She pursed her lips and her eyelashes flickered.

It's rare to see someone so nervous.

Su Chengyi ignored her vague rejection, squatted down, took her arm, and put the jade bracelet on her.

The jade bracelet passed through her knuckles and slid onto her wrist smoothly like a fish in water.

The turquoise lines surrounding the emerald ring made her delicate and fair wrist bones look indescribably beautiful.

It was such a perfect match, as if this bracelet was made just to appear on her wrist one day.

If this were some ancient martial arts novel, this must be a family heirloom or something used to identify one's true identity, and Chen Jinzhi is the only designated heir who is wandering outside, born with a jade in his mouth.

Yang Liu also sighed deeply, shook his head and said:

"The old lady was really shrewd. She first told me not to open the box under any circumstances, and then said that it must be left for the granddaughter-in-law who would definitely marry into the family in the future.

Hey, did she consult a reliable fortune teller? How could this bracelet look so good on Jinzhi's hand? It must be destined."

"After all, grandma just wants me to find a pretty one."

Su Chengyi answered thoughtfully.

To make a jade bracelet with such excellent workmanship, the craftsman also took some meticulous care when making it.

If the person has a plump figure, it might get stuck and be difficult to put on.

Well, it's a bit like the Cinderella story.

Cinderella is the only one in the whole kingdom who can wear the lost crystal slipper.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Liu glared at him. What kind of zero-point answer is this? !

So Su Chengyi changed his words:
"But there are very few people in the world who are this beautiful."

"That's pretty much it."

Yang Liu picked up the teacup and took a sip with satisfaction.

Chen Jinzhi wore a white shirt today with her cuffs rolled up. A turquoise jade bracelet hung on her slender wrist, which not only made her skin look whiter than snow, but also gave her a more classical temperament than usual.

Yang Liu was like a mother-in-law, the more she looked at her daughter-in-law, the more satisfied she was. She felt like she had found a treasure.

She began to think about going to the temple to donate more money so that she could pray to the gods and Buddhas to bless them to be together forever.

Su Chengyi held Chen Jinzhi's finger and looked up at her with a smile.

"Does this count as a successful certification? Miss Chen Jinzhi, you are not allowed to regret this."

Chen Jinzhi lowered his eyes. The jade bracelet had the unique warmth and coolness of jade, forming a subtle contrast with the warmth in his palm.

"Ah."

After a long moment, she responded softly, with a hint of smile in her peach blossom eyes.

"I don't regret it."
