Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1119 - 1121: Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law

"Nianhua, Mom is just not used to Dad being away from home." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Fang Manyin, knowing the situation, explained.

"It’s okay, Mom, I’ll keep you company." Xu Nianhua served Jiang Wanru some food and said, "Mom, today’s cabbage heart is really delicious."

...

Orient Hotel, Peony Hall.

Pei Yicheng had attended many banquets, but today he was particularly alert. This dinner was crucial to whether he could marry his bride.

"Yicheng, I’ve heard your perfume and hand cream are doing well. Recently, you’ve also taken over the Pei Family’s business; you’re really a promising young talent!" Su Jinrong praised Pei Yicheng first, then added, "You are so busy, yet you still attend this meeting. Your uncle is happy."

Pei Yicheng’s heart tightened at the implied meaning in Su Jinrong’s words. He modestly replied, "It’s just some small business, nothing compared to yours, Uncle Su."

"I have high hopes for you. Smart and hardworking, it’s only a matter of a few years before you achieve great things." Su Jinrong complimented him.

"As the old saying goes, establish a family before you establish a career." Pei Yicheng stood up, looked sincerely at Su Jinrong, and said, "Uncle Su, I want to get engaged to Nianhua first and then get married after she graduates."

His back was straight, his head lowered, eyes earnest, and his attitude respectful.

Off to the side, Su Lie discreetly observed Su Jinrong’s expression. His father’s face showed signs of irritation. Dad wanted to beat around the bush, but Pei Yicheng got straight to the point!

Good heavens, he’s stronger than I was back then!

Back in the day, to marry Manyin, I was much better off than Pei Yicheng. Manyin only had one brother, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law liked me a lot, so my first visit went smoothly.

And Pei Yicheng?

He has to pass the Su Family hurdle and then the Xu Family hurdle too.

Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu, although not biological, treated Nianhua like their own. They cherished her, and the Su Family was a hard hurdle to pass, just like the Xu Family. Thinking of this, Su Lie felt an inexplicable sympathy.

"I heard from Xiaolie, you are Du Cheng?" Su Jinrong examined Pei Yicheng, looking for faults in him, but found that he treated his daughter well, had good looks, and there was no question about his work capability.

"Uncle Su, if this identity is complicated, I can hand it over to Ling Dong or someone else, ensuring Nianhua won’t be harmed because of it." Pei Yicheng’s words couldn’t have been more sincere; there wasn’t a trace of deceit.

Su Jinrong’s mouth twitched. For the sake of his daughter, he was willing to hand over the business he had built up so readily?

"You’re still young, and Nianhua is only twenty-two; there’s no rush for the engagement." Su Jinrong reminded, "Yicheng, are you in such a hurry because you’re afraid of changing your mind?"

"Of course not. Just putting myself in someone else’s shoes, I can’t wait to marry Nianhua home today." Pei Yicheng openly shared his thoughts and said, "Uncle Su, weren’t you impatient to marry Aunt back then? Brother Lie, weren’t you also eager to marry Sister-in-law as soon as you could?"

Su Lie was silent. Back then, he was indeed in a hurry to marry Manyin.

"If I weren’t keen on this matter, it’d mean I wasn’t keen on Nianhua or didn’t love her."

Pei Yicheng spoke with firm conviction and his powerful words resonated, saying, "Uncle Su, Brother Lie, I’m only being true to myself. I’ve known Nianhua for three and a half years. We’ve spent enough time together and understand each other. I think getting engaged first, so the two families, or rather, the three families, can get to know each other better, and then get married is a better plan."
