Chapter 348 - Her Daughter-in-law Was the Best One

Chapter 348 Her Daughter-in-law Was the Best One

"What Little Mo said is also reasonable. Xia Yu has been in love with Shen Yan for some time. Let Shen Yan bring her back to have a meal tomorrow." Old Madame stood up.

"Yes, I will tell them." Second Madame felt bad in her mind even though she had a good temper because she called Shen Mo by his pet name while she called her son by the full name.

It was due to her partiality that Qi Guogang took away his child and wife. It was really aggrieved for them to live in this family. Second Madame remembered the lively atmosphere in her son's villa last time.

Although she admitted that there was a little bit of rejection to Xia Yu in her mind at that time, that child did not mind because of her broadmindedness. Thinking of that now, she felt that she was a little regretful indeed. Xia Yu was such a lovely girl who was also kind to her. She was the girl whom her son loved with a clever brain to help him.

Those so-called perfect matches were also strange bedfellows who might calculate each other all the way. Did they live a happy life?

Thinking of this, Second Madame was relieved. As long as her son was happy, she was also pleased and satisfied as a mother.

When Shen Yan received the phone from his mother, he had already driven the car to the hospital garage. After listening to her explanation, he did not say anything but agreed. This was the trick of Old Madame. He was really clear in his mind but didn't expose it.

The next day, after the doctor examined Xia Yu, he found that there was no problem. Then, Xia Yu was allowed to leave the hospital. At the door of the hospital, Shen Yan told Xia Yu the idea of Old Madame.

"Why not tell me earlier? I have no preparation." Xia Yu was in a panic because this was the day when she officially visited his parents. Although she had been there, the meaning was totally different.

"Just act as usual. Don't deliberately prepare for it." Shen Yan asked Aunt Ma to go back first. He bought something in the nearby supermarket and went directly to the old house together with Xia Yu.

After the car stopped at the entrance of the quadrangle courtyard, Shen Yan and Xia Yu each carried their own preparations and stepped in.

As soon as they crossed the threshold of the quadrangle courtyard, Xia Yu felt something was wrong. There seemed to be a smell in the air, which was not emitted from a human body.

As she expected, she just looked aside and saw that a yellow-black figure suddenly flashed by the road against the right wall. It was a Germaan shepherd dog nearly about one meter high, which was commonly known as the wolf dog. It spread its four claws, rushing toward Xia Yu. It was not alone but followed by at least six or seven dogs.

A group of big wolf dogs rushed toward Xia Yu, and they really jumped up and flew toward her. Usually, Xia Yu was not afraid of dogs. At this time, it was inevitable to be scared for her. She screamed out while hiding behind Shen Yan.

She turned her back to the dogs and plunged her head into Shen Yan's arms. At this time, she didn't care about too much but just wanted to protect herself.

Shen Yan held Xia Yu with one hand and touched the head of the big dog with the other hand. His eyes were full of tenderness. After a few seconds, he sent out his arm. "Go ahead."

The big dog was with human characteristics. It jumped down and stood on the side, raising its head and shaking its tail.

Shen Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the black head against his chest. "They are gone. You can relieve yourself."

Xia Yu did not move at all. She first slowly opened her eyes and saw a black shirt on his body. Her eyes were big, and she caught a glimpse of the dogs with the corners of her eyes. The dogs were surrounding nearby and didn't make any further movement. She raised her head slowly and looked left and right and then gasped slightly. She was really scared to death.

"Don't you like dogs so much?" Shen Yan smiled. He scanned her body with his eyes. "Are you a false dog lover?"

"Certainly not!" Everyone would be scared when so many fierce dogs ran toward him. Xia Yu looked at Shen Yan. "You hate dogs, don't you? But it was totally different just now."

Xia Yu heard from Shen Mo that Shen Yan was bitten by a dog when he was a child. Now he would be scared when meeting dogs. This was called traumatic sequela.

"This is a long story. I do hate dogs, but I am not scared." Shen Yan said when looking at the dogs not far away. "These dogs are all from Zeng Mina's family. Of course, she also knows that I was bitten by a dog when I was a child. So, when she wanted to date my brother alone, she deliberately took these dogs with her and let the dogs look at me. She took the dogs to avoid me from bothering them. Then as time went by, we became friends. So, when they saw me, they rushed over."

"Zeng Mina thought that I was afraid of them at first. The reason why she brought them here today may be that she wanted to make fool of me."

They were facing closely with each other at the door. The door of the main room was opened. It was the nanny of Shen family. When she saw them, they immediately greeted them and welcomed them in.

Shen Yan raised his feet and walked forward. Xia Yu followed by without stopping for a while. A group of big dogs were around the two people, giving her a feeling of crisis.

As they went to the door, and the person who came out to welcome them was Zeng Mina. She probably came out to see their jokes.

Zeng Mina had a shocked look in her eyes. She had just heard the dogs bark very fiercely. Soon she was relieved. It must be the nanny who drove them away.

They were so fortunate. When Zeng Mina saw Xia Yu, she widened her eyes. No one knew whether she was really surprised or she pretended to be surprised. Then she said, "You bought so many gifts. No wonder everyone says that you are sophisticated."

There was only one nanny here, and Zeng Mina brought so many dogs to scare her. Xia Yu was really unhappy with her deeds, so she said with a blank expression, "Since everyone knows it, why are you so surprised?"

Zeng Mina didn't expect that Xia Yu would talk so hard in front of Shen Yan. She immediately turned her eyes on Shen Yan, but he just lowered his head to change his shoes, as if he didn't hear it.

She was sullen in her mind. When seeing that Xia Yu's face obviously turned red, she said ironically, "Aren't you scared by the dogs?"

Xia Yu didn't want to act from the beginning. Unfortunately, she ran into Zeng Mina when she came here. Then she whispered by opening her pink lips, "I don't want to talk to you. Please don't bother."

Zeng Mina was dissed by Xia Yu twice in succession. She naturally couldn’t stand it. She turned to look at Shen Yan and said with grievance, "Look at her. Did I provoke her?"

Shen Yan answered indifferently with a blank impression, "Do you wish to talk with her so much?"

"..." Zeng Mina felt a lump in the throat and was almost suffocated to death.

Everyone could see that they were a couple with the same talking style. Zeng Mina was so angry and gnashed.

Did she now feel comfortable in her mind? Xia Yu couldn't help revealing a slight of sarcasm. She put things beside the door and walked in together with Shen Yan.

Zeng Mina was angry but dared not to say anything. It was not Shen Yan who made her angry. She was angry with Xia Yu because Xia Yu adorned herself with borrowed plumes and bullied her under the protection of Shen Yan.

Xia Yu just went to the living room and heard a sound from the left. She looked along the sound and saw that Old Madame came up slowly, held by First Madame.

When First Madame was young, she was very beautiful. She looked very young because she grew up in clover with well-maintained skin.

Zeng Mina stood behind Xia Yu at first, but suddenly she came up to greet her. She smiled and said, "Aunt! Grandma!"

First Madame raised her head and smiled at Zeng Mina. The face of Old Madame was full of wrinkles, with a slight smile. She gave a slight nod as a signal.

First Madame looked at the back of Zeng Mina, and it seemed that she couldn't see Xia Yu. She only talked to Shen Yan. Then she held Old Madame to the sofa in the living room.

"Old Madame! First Madame!" Xia Yu walked over and greeted them.

It seemed that they just saw Xia Yu now. They nodded and said, "You are here. Sit down please!"

Zeng Mina rushed to sit down on the other side of Old Madame, lest Xia Yu took the seat away. First Madame looked at her with satisfaction on the side, thinking that she was right to do this.

However, Xia Yu did not intend to scramble for it at all. She saw Old Madame stretched out her hands several times in the direction of the tea table next to Zeng Mina.

There was a tea bowl on it, and it was estimated that Old Madame wanted to drink some tea. However, there was no intention for her to tell Zeng Mina to hand over it to her. Xia Yu was in an awkward position because Zeng Mina sat between her and the table.

Finally, Xia Yu walked over and took the tea bowl. Then she handed over it to Old Madame with both of her hands. She said with a smile, "Old Madame, drink some tea please!"

Old Madame was shocked at first, thinking in her mind that this girl was really observant. She took it with a smile and then said after taking a sip, "Why do you call me Old Madame? You really stand on ceremony."

Before Xia Yu could respond, First Madame said in an ambiguous tone, "Mom, do not treat her so seriously. She hasn't been married to our family. The person who you have raised for so many years also calls you like this."

The person who First Madame mentioned was just Shen Yan. Since he messed things up in the family, their contradiction was already obvious. Shen Yan called her Old Madame every time they met her while Old Madame also called him directly by his full name instead of calling him by his pet name, "Little Yan", as before.

Certainly, it had to be said that the words of First Madame were so vicious. She talked about this on the right occasion and succeeded to sow discord.

"Sorry, Grandma! I am not used to it." Xia Yu was not shy to say this. Since she had decided to be with Shen Yan, she should call her Grandma like this.

Well, she was more sensible than that bloke, Shen Yan. Old Madame had been sulking with Shen Yan these days. She thought that Xia Yu would be annoyed and ignore her because she was satisfied with Yang Ke'er at first. But from the beginning to the present, her performance was decent. Old Madame felt more comfortable in her mind.

"I heard that you were injured, and how are you now?" Old Madame signaled Xia Yu to sit down opposite to her.

"Thank you for your concern, Grandma. I just got hit. It's no big deal." Xia Yu said simply.

"You seem to be fine from your agile actions. Someone is just making a fuss." Zeng Mina pursed her lips and snorted at the side. She was still angry when mentioning the matter because she was blamed by Shen Mo for no reason.

Why didn't she gain in her wit after falling into the pit? Little Mo repeatedly stressed that even if the family couldn't be united, they must get by superficially. Li Wen did such a deed to Shen Family, and even Young Master Du was ashamed of it as an outsider. Weren't the people of Shen Family bringing shame on themselves by defending for Li Wen?

However, it was enough to sermonize them at home, so First Madame still smiled and said, "Today's dishes are all cooked by Mina. I said last time that you liked to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall which was a soup made by 18 pricey ingredients, Mom. Mina came early in the morning and was busy preparing for it. It takes her more than four hours to simmer one dish."

Old Madame nodded slightly and said nothing.

Zeng Mina was determined to learn cooking since she was dissed by Yang Ke'er last time. She just didn’t want to be looked down upon by others. She was standing on the side when First Madame praised her, and then she responded with a well-behaved expression, "It will be fine as long as Grandma likes it."

First Madame looked up at Zeng Mina with a kind smile as if she was her daughter-in-law.

Zeng Mina was complacent in her mind and immediately said, "Then, you just continue to talk. I will go to the kitchen and have a look. The soup will be available quickly."

"Xia Yu, you just go to help her." Second Madame went to the backyard to take the things just now. She didn't know that Shen Yan and Xia Yu had come back. As soon as she entered the house, she heard that First Madame was showing off her daughter-in-law.

Second Madame could not be compared with First Madame in many respects, but her daughter-in-law was more excellent than that of First Madame. There was no exaggeration to say that Xia Yu was far more excellent than Zeng Mina.

In terms of cooking, Zeng Mina was no match for Xia Yu.

"It is not appropriate. Today, Xia Yu came to visit the parents of Shen Yan officially. How can we let her cook?" First Madame was determined to ask Zeng Mina to show her cooking skills in front of everyone. Therefore, she decisively rejected the proposal of Second Madame.
