Chapter 454: Chapter 454 The So-Called Father-in-Law Route

Meeting the parents was indeed a big deal.

Lin Chunju even complained to Yue Jiannan, "Why didn’t you call before coming back? We weren’t prepared for anything."

Yue Jiannan then realized his oversight and felt a bit embarrassed.

"I meant to tell you; I just forgot while writing my thesis... It wasn’t until Zhang Ying and I arrived in Zhuancheng and she asked me that I remembered. I figured instead of finding a public phone booth to make a last-minute call, I might as well bring her straight home."

The family was speechless. Zhang Ying, such a pretty young girl, had fallen for their somewhat clueless Yue Jiannan, which seemed like bad luck for her.

Feeling guilty, Lin Chunju took Zhang Ying’s hand and said, "Darling, I’m sorry for the inconvenience."

Zhang Ying shyly lowered her head, "Not at all; I’m too happy being with Jiannan to feel inconvenienced."

Hearing her shy and timid response, Yue Jiannan felt like he could pour his heart out for her.

"It’s all my fault, Mom, what should we do now?"

Luckily, Yue Jiandong, the responsible elder brother, had a plan. "Let’s eat first. I just called the manager and reserved a spot at the Four Seas Restaurant."

In the private room, Lin Chunju grew increasingly pleased with the young girl.

She truly was more than a match for their foolish son.

She sternly instructed Yue Jiannan, "Tomorrow when we go to Zhang Ying’s house, you can’t be so clueless anymore. Smile often, speak kindly, and don’t forget to take everything that’s supposed to be brought."

After all, they had tricked such a pretty girl into their grasp; a son-in-law visiting his father-in-law’s house for the first time might face some challenges.

He deserved to experience this, to understand that marrying a wife was not an easy task.

Yue Jiannan agreed repeatedly, "Don’t worry, Mom, I definitely won’t forget the proper customs."

With everything already said by his mother, Yue Jiandong, who had accompanied them, could afford to say less and just bowed his head to eat.

Hey, the food was really good today.

It hadn’t tasted this good when they had clients over before.

As he went out to the restroom, Yue Jiandong happened to see Zheng Tianbo.

"Old Zheng, has the restaurant changed chefs? I can tell with just my tongue; you must have hired someone expensive."

It was just casual chatter, but Zheng Tianbo revealed a mysterious smile.

"What chef? He’s actually my young master personally cooking."

Yue Jiandong was stunned.

Zheng Tianbo lowered his voice, "Didn’t you say on the phone that the youngest brother brought a date home? The young master was at the restaurant, so he personally cooked."

"Now, even the head chef says he can’t match the young master’s culinary skills. You’ve got a treat today."

Listening to this, Yue Jiandong felt like a mix of spices had overturned inside him.

Hey, that kid!

I wondered why it tasted so familiar. It’s infuriating, why would a fine young master act as a chef?

And... and it’s so delicious.

It’s all because he has his eyes on our girl.

Yue Jiandong stormed back, and Zhang Ying was serving him soup.

"Just now you kept praising it, so I served you an extra bowl."

Yue Jiandong: "I’m full!" Stuffed with frustration!

Zhang Ying: "Huh?" Weren’t you hungry just now? Did you get full just from going to the restroom?

By the time the meal ended, Yue Jiandong couldn’t help himself, leaving only a bit in his soup bowl.

After the third brother returned from taking his date home and came back, Lin Chunju continued giving advice.

"Lower your attitude a bit more tomorrow, move swiftly as you do things. They say a mother-in-law grows fonder of her son-in-law the more she looks at him, but fathers-in-law can be more critical. Just keep smiling and stay busy, and if the parents agree, the bride is nearly yours."

Yue Jiannan kept nodding, while Yue Jiandong felt discontent listening.

Touching his round belly, why did he feel like he’d been duped by a cunning plan?

That kid wouldn’t be taking the father-in-law route too, would he?...

Spit, he would never sell his daughter for a few tasty dishes.

Though the kid’s cooking indeed wasn’t bad, no matter which high-end restaurant he dined at nowadays, none tasted as good as Jiang Jingze’s.

But he would not concede!
