Chapter 126 First Meeting with Mother-in-Law
Chu Yan followed He Zixuan into the car, which was exactly what Chu Jingyan wanted. He was worried that he couldn't get rid of this little light bulb.

The luxury car drove all the way to the suburbs. Fortunately, they left early and there was no traffic jam.

When the car was halfway through the journey, there were not many people around, but there were still people selling fruit on the roadside. Meng Qingyi stared at them blankly.

Chu Jingyan tilted his head to look at her and curled his lips, "Want to eat?"

Meng Qingyi turned around and nodded with a smile.

Chu Jingyan smiled, stepped on the accelerator and drove forward, then braked and stopped the car.

"Let's go."

Chu Jingyan got out of the car, took her hand, and went back to buy some fruit.

Meng Qingyi was attracted by the blueberries on the roadside. Now is the season for eating blueberries, and the black blueberries look very appetizing.

Meng Qingyi got into the car contentedly carrying the blueberries, picked up one and wanted to put it into her mouth.

Chu Jingyan grabbed her hand and said, "It's unwashed, dirty."

Meng Qingyi pouted, showing her dissatisfaction, "It's not clean, but you won't get sick if you eat it."

Chu Jingyan frowned, but still didn't let her go, "Wait a moment."

He took a few bottles of mineral water from the back seat, took the blueberries from her hand, rinsed them several times, and then started the car and left.

Meng Qingyi took a bite, feeling satisfied and smiling.

She picked up one and handed it to Chu Jingyan, "Second brother."

Chu Jingyan glanced at her and took it in his mouth.

"Is it sweet?" Meng Qingyi looked expectant.

Chu Jingyan chuckled and whispered, "Not as sweet as you."

Meng Qingyi was stunned, her little face turned red instantly, and she lowered her head in shame.

The two of them were far behind He Zixuan and his friends. When they arrived, He Zixuan had already ordered the dishes.

"Where have you been? So late?" He Zixuan was teaching Chu Yan how to play games.

"You should dance like this." He Zixuan demonstrated it to Chu Yan.

Chu Jingyan looked at Chu Yan, who was concentrating on playing with his mobile phone and didn't even look at him. He couldn't help but frowned.

It was a wrong decision to let He Zixuan take care of the child.

"Nothing, I just went to buy some things." Chu Jingyan pulled out a chair like a gentleman and asked Meng Qingyi to sit down.

"Where's Nan Jue? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

"They'll be there soon. They're stuck in a traffic jam." Mu Zian replied.

"Doctor Meng, would you like some tea?"

Meng Qingyi shook her head, "I'll just drink some water."

"Shall I ask the waiter to bring some juice?" Chu Jingyan added water to her glass.

Meng Qingyi nodded, "Watermelon juice."

Chu Jingyan frowned slightly, "Doesn't your stomach hurt?"

Meng Qingyi was shocked and had forgotten about this.

"Corn juice."

Meng Qingyi nodded lightly.

……

In a few minutes, Gu Nanjue and Huo Rao arrived, but both of them looked unhappy and angry.

"what happened?"

"Did you eat explosives?" He Zixuan raised his eyebrows.

Gu Nanjue glanced at Huo Rao and said, "Nothing."

After hearing what Gu Nanjue said, they didn't ask any more questions. Maybe they were just a couple arguing.

However, Meng Qingyi still asked Huo Rao what was wrong in private, and Huo Rao said the same thing.

In fact, since they came back from South City, Gu Nanjue hadn't come to see her for a few days, and she had a comfortable life. Today, she had an appointment to meet with investors, but she didn't expect Gu Nanjue to bring her here without telling her in advance.

She even broke an appointment with an investor because of this. She just argued with him a few words on the way here, but he had a sullen face, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

……

After the meal, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening. The group went their separate ways. Before parting, Chu Yan wanted to follow He Zixuan home, but Chu Jingyan grabbed him by the collar and asked, "Are you not going to school tomorrow?"

Chu Yan's face wrinkled into a ball, "Uncle He can also send me."

Chu Jingyan laughed dryly, "Can he get up?"

Chu Yan looked at He Zixuan expectantly. He Zixuan was startled and touched his head. "Chu Chu, you should go back with your father. Your uncle He has never gotten up so early."

Chu Yan frowned, "Lazy guy."

……

Chu Yan still followed Chu Jingyan home dejectedly. When he arrived downstairs of the apartment building, he was still wide awake. Usually, he would have been fast asleep by this time.

Meng Qingyi looked at the missed calls on her phone and fell into deep thought. Why did her mother and uncle call her so many times?

Her cell phone was in her bag just now and she didn't notice the call. Just when she was about to call back, Chu Jingyan called her into the elevator, so she forgot about calling back.

Chu Jingyan hooked one hand around her waist and held Chu Yan's hand with the other, "Are you tired?"

Meng Qingyi shook her head and leaned her head unconsciously on Chu Jingyan's shoulder.

Chu Jingyan smiled slightly, covered Chu Yan's eyes with his big hands, and pecked her lips.

The elevator door opened and Chu Jingyan led them out.

Before he had taken a few steps, Chu Jingyan vaguely saw a figure sneaking around Meng Qingyi's door.

He frowned slightly, but he didn't expect that the person turned around and turned out to be a woman in her forties, wearing a casual suit and a lake blue windbreaker, which made her look elegant and intellectual.

Meng Qingyi was talking to Chu Yan with her head down and didn't notice anyone. It was that person who spoke first, "Yiyi?"

Meng Qingyi was stunned. She suddenly raised her head and met the woman's gaze. "Mom?"

“What are you doing…?” The woman looked at her and Chu Jingyan’s hands and asked in confusion.

Meng Qingyi reacted, suddenly let go of Chu Jingyan's hand, and jumped away.

Chu Jingyan watched her movements and clenched his fingers unconsciously. Is he ashamed to do this?
But he doesn't have time to argue with her now, Mom?
"Mom, why are you here?" Meng Qingyi asked, staring at the person in front of her.

The woman frowned, "I came back from Country A, and thought I hadn't seen you for over a year, so I came to see you."

Meng Qingyi was speechless. What question was she asking? She rushed forward and took the woman's suitcase. "Mom, let's go home first."

Meng Qingyi hooked the woman's arm and walked forward while winking at Chu Jingyan behind her.

But Chu Jingyan acted as if he didn't see anything, and followed the two of them, holding Chu Yan's hand.

When they reached the door, Meng Qingyi opened it and said, "Mom."

The woman stood at the door, looking at the two people in front of her, one big and one small, "Why don't you introduce them to each other?"

Meng Qingyi frowned and hesitated, "He is my..."

Before Meng Qingyi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chu Jingyan, "Hello, Auntie."

"I'm Yiyi's boyfriend."

The woman's eyes suddenly widened and she looked him up and down, "Hello."

"Chu Chu, call me grandma." Chu Jingyan pulled Chu Yan's little hand.

Chu Yan's eyes rolled around and he bowed politely, "Hello, grandma."

"Your nephew?" the woman asked suspiciously.

"Mom, no, it's his son." Meng Qingyi stepped forward and said.

Instantly, the woman's brows furrowed. She had been quite satisfied with Chu Jingyan, but when she heard that he had a son, her face sank.

Wasn't her daughter deceived? Could she have found a married man?

"Dad, doesn't grandma like me?" Chu Yan raised his little face and asked Chu Jingyan.
