Chapter 711: Chapter 711: What Bad Idea Is This Kid Cooking Up?

Mother Fan arrives, leading three women down from the car.

Two of them Suizi has met before; they’re part of the Fan Family. According to generation ranking, she should call one ’aunt’ and the other ’cousin’.

One of these two is heavily pregnant and the other is accompanying a small boy who is about the same size as Little Luobo.

The last woman appears affluent, holding Mother Fan’s arm as if they are quite close. Suizi doesn’t recognize her.

Surveying the guests, Suizi guesses what the purpose of their visit is.

"Have we been too good and too gentle recently?" Suizi asks Yu Jingting.

The couple had been getting along with Mother Fan these past few years, keeping the peace without needing to put her in her place.

But recently, Mother Fan has been making constant remarks about other people’s grandchildren at various gatherings.

At first, Suizi didn’t pay much attention. Understanding that an elderly person might have some fixation on male offspring, she let it slide, since it didn’t do her any harm.

But recently, Mother Fan had been crossing the line.

In Chen Lijun’s presence, Mother Fan complained on several occasions about how being childless is the greatest act of filial impiety, lamenting about the end of the Fan lineage even in front of Fan Huang.

If it weren’t for the fact that Chen Lijun was pregnant, Suizi would’ve given her a piece of her mind.

Today, Mother Fan brought along a pregnant woman, another one with a son, and a wealthy woman. Suizi guessed they were all here to upset her mother.

"Grandma, why have you come on your own? You could have given us a call and I would have picked you up," Yu Jingting stood up. As he passed the table with the squid grilling on a hot iron plate, he subtly wiped his hand on the table before hugging the old lady tightly.

Mother Fan was taken by surprise by this sudden display of affection.

When did Yu Jingting start getting along so well with her?

She tried to push him away, but he swiftly wiped his hand on her back, making sure to spread all the chili paste onto her, then let go.

From her angle, Suizi can see everything clearly. Mother Fan is wearing high-end silk that looks delicate. It’ll be hard to wash the chili paste stain out.

With just a hug, Yu Jingting had ruined her entire outfit. This man is certainly full of mischief.

Mother Fan didn’t realize what Yu Jingting had done to her. After finally pushing him away, she was covered in goosebumps.

"What’s gotten into you?" Mother Fan asked.

Achieving his aim, Yu Jingting immediately switched to an aloof expression, startling Mother Fan.

"I’m probably being possessed by a ghost, having hugged something strange, tsk..."

Mother Fan was dumbfounded by his nonsense. She felt an odd chill down her spine and nearly forgot why she was here.

The wealthy woman who was holding Mother Fan’s arm gave her a tug to bring her out of her daze.

Not daring to look at Yu Jingting, she went over to Lijun and her son’s table.

"You came at the right time, have a seat and enjoy a cup of tea," Fan Huang warmly greeted her.

Mother Fan looked at his calm demeanor and her anger flared. She suspected her son was deliberately playing dumb, allowing Yu Jingting to mock her. Why else wouldn’t he speak earlier?

As if he had only just noticed her! Wasn’t this taking sides?

Mother Fan was increasingly irritated but was forced to suppress her anger. She told the women she brought along to sit down.

"We were shopping and since we happened to pass by your house, we thought we’d come for a visit," she said.

"Oh, what a coincidence," said Yu Jingting.

Suizi thought he sounded like a comic sidekick from a comedy sketch.

Mother Fan ignored Yu Jingting, then continued, "Upon arrival, I found your home to be so deserted."

"Fascinating!" The comic sidekick leapt on the cue.

Mother Fan grimaced but held her temper and continued, "You two don’t cook, your house is always empty, and Lijun is busy working every day. Women are women after all, no matter how busy work is, we must care for our home!"

"Would you like to cook for us?" Yu Jingting gestured to the suspended cutting board.

Even Mother Fan couldn’t ignore his mockery any longer. Was this brat treating her like a joke?

"Pff..." Suizi couldn’t hold back her laughter. The comic’s sidekick had a way with words that perfectly bounced off Mother Fan’s remarks.

"Jingting, go bring some water," said Fan Huang, realizing that his mother was about to burst into full-blown anger. So he decided to temporarily take his place.

"Mom, we do cook," he reassured.

"You still want to lie to me?" Mother Fan thought he was trying to cover for Lijun until she heard him say, "Actually, I’m the one cooking now."

"What??" Mother Fan was stunned.

The few women she brought over hadn’t had a chance to join in the conversation. When they heard Fan Huang, they all stared in surprise.

"Brother, you cook?" Fan Xiaogu was shocked as she had trouble picturing her usually stern brother wearing an apron and cooking.

"Really though~" The comic sidekick, Yu Jingting, was back, bringing water. As he filled the teapot, he continued his jest, "Dad, can you show off your cooking skills to everyone?"

"Your mother isn’t hungry, what’s there to show off?" Fan Huang glanced at his son-in-law with a twinkle in his eye, "This isn’t necessary."

"..." Yu Jingting rubbed his nose. His father-in-law had just stolen his comic line, where on earth was justice?

Both Suizi and her mother understood these comedic references. Lijun was trying not to laugh, while Suizi had turned around shuddering with laughter.

If she ends up having wrinkles, it would be all because of the laughter.

She was surrounded by comedians, she just couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Mother Fan turned pale with anger and looked at her son accusingly. It was one thing for Yu Jingting to make a scene, but why would her son join in on the foolishness?

"Fan Huang, your home without children isn’t much fun. Here, look at your fifth sister’s son, isn’t he adorable?"

Mother Fan played her first card, showing off other people’s children.

The child she introduced was chubby and his cheeks drooped.

Mother Fan paraded him around as a prized possession.

"After seeing him, I suddenly feel how slender my son is," whispered Suizi to Lijun.

Lijun couldn’t agree more. She didn’t think her grandson was fat at all. He just had a round face, but his body was well-proportioned compared to this chubby child. He was quite elegant.

Mother Fan came primarily to provoke Chen Lijun, complain about her not having a son and indirectly insult Fan Huang’s current lifestyle.

"Other families have children to play with after work, how lively they must be. Look at your home, so empty and deserted. Such a pitiful state that our lineage is going to end... " Mother Fan began wiping the corner of her eyes.

"Mom, Lijun and I also have a lively time," Fan Huang was about to blab out Lijun’s pregnancy, but something felt amiss and he stopped himself.

He gave Yu Jingting a look. Jingting got the message and was immediately all over the place with joy.

"Our home is super lively! If you don’t believe me, just wait and see——"

Mother Fan immediately sat back, on high alert. What was this mischievous boy up to?
