Chapter 1217: I Just Called Him Father, so It Seems Impolite Not to Call You Mother
Nian Qingyun was so angry his face turned crimson. “Nonsense. I said that because he called me father last time. If you don’t believe me, ask him about it.
Everyone turned to look at Jiang Yuning. He spent a moment thinking, then shook his head and said, “I don’t remember. It’s been so long.”
“How can you not admit it? You had the guts to call me father, but how come you don’t have the guts to admit it?” said Nian Qingyun.
“Father.” Jiang Yuning suddenly called him father.
“I said don’t call me father.” Nian Qingyun almost lost his temper.
Jiang Yuning blinked his eyes innocently and said, “I called you father to prove that I have guts.”
Nian Qingyun spun around and pressed a hand on his liver.
He already had a son who was good at making him angry. If he had a son-in-law like that, he would die from apoplexy sooner or later.
“Uncle, calm down.” Nian Junlei patted him on the shoulder. “I understand how happy you are.”
Nian Qingshan clicked his tongue and said, “Brother, I’m jealous of you.”
“Go away.” Nian Qingyun glared at him and walked away sullenly.
He would have felt like punching someone if he stayed there any longer.
After introducing her father, Nian Xi introduced her mother to Jiang Yuning.
“Mother.” Jiang Yuning called her mother directly.
Murong Cheng buried her forehead in her hand and said, “Um… Well, it’s the first time we’re meeting, so you can just call me aunty.”
Jiang Yuning nodded and said, “I get it. But I just called him father. It seems a little impolite not to call you mother.”
Murong Cheng didn’t know how to respond.
Nian Xi’s mouth corners twitched slightly. For the very first time, she found Jiang Yuning pretty sly. Secretly, she patted him and reminded him, “Be good. Don’t say anything that you shouldn’t say.”
Jiang Yuning showed a trace of protest in his eyes, but he just nodded and said, “I’ll do what you say.”
People witnessed that. They couldn’t bear watching the pitiful look on the boy’s face.
“Xi, you are a girl. A girl should be gentle,” said Yu Wen. “Don’t be too bossy. Jiang is right. It was inappropriate for him not to call her mother.”
“Yeah,” Grandma Nian agreed. “You should learn from Jiang. The scientist has a good brain.”
Nian Xi raised her head and gave a long sigh. What on earth did Jiang Yuning do? He had only been in the hall for a few minutes but had already managed to get all the older ladies on his side with his good looks and occupation.”
After Nian Xi introduced every family member to him, people started asking him how old he was.
“I’m thirty years old,” Jiang Yuning said.
“You don’t look thirty,” said Murong Cheng with a surprised look. “I thought you’re only twenty-three or twenty-four. My son is thirty, but you two look so different.”
Nian Junting, who was walking into the hall with his son in his arms, heard what she said. His face instantly turned frosty cold. “Mom,” he said. “Who are you talking about? How different do we look? Tell me.”
Murong Cheng froze, then turned around and looked at her son’s cold face and said, “Eh-hem, it’s because he looks so young. You look thirty. You run a company after all. You have this time-sharpened quality. That’s how you rule the business world, right?”
As the angry look on his face eased, Nian Junting said to Jiang Yuning, “A man needs to be strong, so he can protect his girl.”
Jiang Yuning looked at Nian Xi tenderly and said, “My Nian Xi is strong. I’ll follow her lead. She is my queen.”
Nian Xi blushed slightly.
How could he say that in front of everyone?
“Oh my, did you hear him?” Grandma Nian couldn’t have liked him more. “Xi, you are so lucky.”
