"Hahaha, Mom, what are you talking about? Let’s just go home, alright? Let’s not gather here anymore!"
Everyone agreed, and then they all left the airport.
On the way, Chu Xiyao wanted to invite Tao Wanqing to share a car with her but was naturally refused.
Even if Tao Wanqing really liked her, she couldn’t possibly do something so unreasonable at this time.
Besides, her son was still in the car. Compared to Chu Xiyao, she naturally preferred to ride with her son.
The extended limousine’s cabin was exceptionally spacious, and Tao Wanqing sat opposite Fu Qiyuan and Su Ran. As soon as she got on the car, she unfolded the table.
Then she placed her bag on the table and began to rummage through it.
Su Ran looked up at her, puzzled, and seeing the unfriendly smirk on her face, couldn’t help but lean closer to Fu Qiyuan.
Fu Qiyuan wrapped his arms tightly around the girl and frowned as he observed his mother’s actions, his expression slightly darkening.
After a long while, Tao Wanqing finished her rummaging, leaned back in her seat, lifted her chin, and raised her eyes to look at Su Ran.
"Auntie," Su Ran responded.
"Stretch out your hand..."
Su Ran was confused. After glancing at Fu Qiyuan, she obediently extended her hand.
Tao Wanqing glanced at her son, whose face was turning dark, and cleared her throat as her delicate hand rested on the table.
Su Ran blinked her eyes gently, looking down at what had suddenly appeared in her hand.
A check for five million!
Alarm bells went off in Su Ran’s mind.
Here it comes! It’s happening!
The plot from the novels!
Was she about to be told to leave Fu Qiyuan the next second?
Su Ran swallowed nervously and looked at Tao Wanqing, anticipating her next words.
Fu Qiyuan’s brow furrowed even deeper, looking just as puzzled.
After a moment, Tao Wanqing’s voice sounded—
"You’ve been wronged!"
Su Ran blinked, looking confused. What did that mean?
Tao Wanqing sighed, "It’s not easy liking my son. Being with him has wronged you!!"
Wasn’t she supposed to be told to leave Fu Qiyuan?
Wasn’t she supposed to take the check and just walk away?
The direction of the plot seemed a bit off?
It took a good while for Su Ran to come back to her senses, "No, it’s not a burden. Ah Yuan, he’s very nice!"
Tao Wanqing pushed the check into her embrace, followed by another one slapped onto the table.
"What initially attracted you to my son?"
Hearing this, Fu Qiyuan also turned his head to look at Su Ran, somewhat eager to hear her answer.
Su Ran was silent for two seconds and then awkwardly said, "His face."
Upon hearing that, Tao Wanqing glanced over Fu Qiyuan’s face and nodded in agreement.
"Hmm, except for this face, indeed, there are no other advantages."
Fu Qiyuan’s face darkened!
Is this really his mother?
Tao Wanqing stuffed the check to Su Ran, and yet another one was slapped over.
The initial five million had now become ten million!
"This year, can I hold a grandson?"
Su Ran’s face turned red as she looked across at the woman whose eyes were shining, suddenly finding herself at a loss for words.
Especially as the woman’s gaze fell on her stomach, it made her scalp tingle.
She coughed lightly, trying to maintain a calm demeanor.
"We won’t be able to."
Hearing this, Tao Wanqing’s brows instantly furrowed, and she cast a glance at Fu Qiyuan before "smack" slamming a stack of checks onto the table.
"Could it be that my son has some kind of problem?"
"Pfft—Hahaha—Bro, forgive me, I really didn’t mean to—"
Fu Qixiu couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing!
That’s a question only a biological mother could ask.
"Or are you guys using contraception?"
Is this Fu Qiyuan’s mother?
Is this the great-aunt whose name, when mentioned by Yizhi, would make her voice tremble?
What happened to being strict?
What happened to the elegance, grace, and composure?
The personality difference is just too huge!
Upon hearing this, Tao Wanqing’s frown deepened, and she looked at Su Ran again.
"So, does my son have a problem after all?"
This time, not only Fu Qixiu but also Qin Feng, who was driving in front, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
And Fu Qixiu was already rolling with laughter in his seat.
Su Ran truly couldn’t answer anymore!
She awkwardly looked at Fu Qiyuan beside her, who was already covered with a face as dark as storm clouds, his complexion as black as could be.
"That’s enough!!" His voice was so tense it could freeze the air.
Tao Wanqing frowned, "What I said is wrong? If it’s wrong, then refute me, will you!"
Fu Qiyuan’s temples throbbed fiercely, and his face looked like a storm was about to break.
As if she didn’t see, Tao Wanqing turned to Fu Qixiu beside her.
"You? Didn’t you accidentally get me a grandson?"
Fu Qixiu’s laughter suddenly stopped abruptly, and he widened his eyes.
"Mom, don’t have such scary thoughts, I don’t have that capability."
Tao Wanqing’s eyes went wide, "You have a problem in that area too?"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Fu Qixiu choked in fright, "Come on, mom, don’t wrongly accuse your son, I’m totally fine!"
However, Tao Wanqing didn’t listen to his explanation and, from somewhere, pulled out a handkerchief to cover her face and cry while taking out a mobile phone from her bag with the other hand.
Seeing this, Fu Qixiu was shocked—
But it was obviously too late, as the call had already been connected.
"Sob, sob, sob... Honey, I’m sorry, I’ve ruined your excellent traditional genes!"
Su Ran was completely dumbstruck, looking at the woman crying and appearing so fragile and weak across from her, unable to believe this was the future mother-in-law she had been scared of for several days.
This... Is this really Fu Qiyuan’s mother?
Now she finally understood where Fu Qixiu got his "sob, sob, sob" behavior from!
"Sob, sob, sob, honey, if only I’d known, I should have had two daughters back then. Unlike now, both sons are colder and more useless than the other, not even able to make us a grandson, honey—I want to hold a grandchild!!"
"Well, it’s one thing for Qi Yuan to have an issue, but now even Qi Xiu has one, honey, why is our life so hard—"
"Damn it, mom, mom, mom... don’t spread rumors to my dear dad, your son is raring to go, what could possibly be the problem?!!"
Su Ran was so shocked that she was at a loss for words, completely overturning her world view.
However, Fu Qiyuan beside her was calm and composed, as if he was used to it.
After about ten minutes or so, the call finally ended.
However, the next second, Fu Qixiu’s phone rang immediately after.
He glanced at the caller ID, howled, and quickly answered the call.
"It’s not true, dad, it’s a misunderstanding! How could I dare to bully your wife!!"
"No, no, no! Dad, everything’s fine at home! You continue with your work, no need to come back! Really no need to come back!!"
Su Ran listened to Fu Qixiu’s words, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her lips, and at that moment, Tao Wanqing grabbed her hand, her tone full of righteous indignation for her plight.
