Ling Yichuan was completely stunned, he hadn’t expected that the relationship between these two had developed so quickly, and they had even decided to go public and be together!
Although he had always teased Yu Zexiao about not having a girlfriend for so many years, but now... hadn’t it been only a short while since this matter had been settled? Wasn’t this too fast?
It is true that he had once suspected Jian Anning’s background and investigated her. However, later on, due to something his sister, Ling Yinuo, had said, he cast aside his concerns.
Regardless, the background of Jian Anning remains a mystery.
Yu Zexiao may seem shrewd and aloof on the outside, but inside, he’s just a kid. Having never been involved with women, he could easily be deceived by one.
Although Jian Anning didn’t seem like the type of woman who would deceive feelings, smooth and slick, if it were to progress to love and marriage, he would, given his nature, absolutely need to investigate everything about the other person thoroughly!
However, in front of Jian Anning, he naturally wouldn’t say anything unpleasant but merely smiled and said, "Yo, settling for life so quickly? You still don’t know whether you’ll be able to get past your parents’ judgement or not!"
Yu Zexiao didn’t mind and said, "What’s there to mind? Both my mom and my dad have met Anning already, and my mom really likes her."
This was indeed true; Shen Lanxiao had indeed met her and at that time, she really wanted her to be her daughter-in-law. However, they were refused.
Only then was Ling Yichuan truly surprised!
For people like them, having several girlfriends was nothing out of the ordinary. Even if Yu Zexiao really liked her and was planning to make their relationship public, it would merely be a trifle.
But if the parents had been met, it definitely meant they were heading towards a serious relationship!
Ling Yichuan immediately looked at Jian Anning with a different expression. If he had been somewhat flippant before, he now withdrew all jokes, his demeanor resembling an older brother scrutinizing his irresponsible younger brother, "Miss Jian, I’ll be entrusting Xingxing to you from now on. This guy is really useless, has a terrible temper, and is not easy to get along with. Don’t go easy on him when he needs to be disciplined, make sure to straighten him out properly!"
"Hey!" Yu Zexiao was speechless. Just a moment ago, this guy was acting so carefree, and suddenly he’s put on the face of a caring brother!
No wonder they say that of all their lousy friends, Ling Yichuan is definitely the most cunning and the best at playing to the crowd!
However, Jian Anning actually felt the sincerity in his tone. Although Ling Yichuan’s words, if overthought by someone with a mind for it, might lead to some misunderstandings—after all, whenever Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning stood together, people would say that Jian Anning had hit the jackpot! Not only did she land an incredibly handsome husband, but her husband’s family was also incredibly rich!
In contrast, she was much more ordinary. To those uninformed, it seemed like a pie falling from the sky. Although the Yu Family wasn’t like the typical large household with many aunts and uncles—originally there were indeed many, from both Shen Lanxiao’s family and the family of Yu Jingxi’s mother, which included a large number of relatives. Due to previous major conflicts, these family members hardly interacted with each other anymore.
Her family background was simple, but after all, the Yu Family was also a wealthy family accumulated over four or five generations. Not to mention—just getting past Yu Jingxi would be challenging.
