“Alright, let’s eat!” Yue Yang clapped and sat down.
She was very busy today. First, she took her mother-in-law to the supermarket and bought gifts for the visit. Then, she arrived at Zhao Yanzi’s house earlier to help with cooking. As a scientist who was usually busy with research, it wasn’t easy for her to do all these.
However, she still wanted to try her best as she was grateful towards Zhao Yanzi’s family for taking care of Grandma during the most crucial period.
Six people surrounded the dining table and sat down.
It was still raining outside, but the rain didn’t affect the harmonious atmosphere.
“You guys don’t have to do this. In the future, don’t buy so many expensive gifts when you come to visit,” Zhao Hongyu put some vegetables in Grandma’s bowl and said.
“You guys cooked a meal for us. We can’t come without bringing anything,” Yue Yang said.
“We’re a family. Don’t worry about it,” Zhao Hongyu smiled and said.
Yue Yang smiled and replied, “I heard from Ren that Zi’s grades for the midterms are very good.”
“It is all thanks to Ren. If he didn’t tutor Zi, Zi couldn’t improve so much,” Zhao Hongyu said.
With the presence of Grandma and Yue Yang, Zhao Yangzi couldn’t argue and had to admit it.
“Not really. Zi is pretty smart too, and she could understand concepts right away,” Hao Ren said.
Zhao Yanzi stepped hard on Hao Ren’s foot under the table and thought, “Humph, it’s too fake that you’re saying good things about me now.”
“Ren’s dad is on a business trip again?” Zhao Hongyu asked Yue Yang.
“Yeah, it’s for an Academic Conference in the States. He’ll probably return in a week or two,” Yue Yang said.
“Come to our place more often in the future and bring everyone. You guys don’t have to buy us anything,” Zhao Hongyu said politely.
“Haha, our house is near the beach, and it’s far from the city. However, you guys drive, so it’s convenient for you guys too. Come to visit our home at any time,” Yue Yang replied.
“Sure thing!” Zhao Hongyu smiled pleasantly.
These two mothers were both well-educated. Yet, Zhao Hongyu seemed gentler while Yue Yang gave people a stricter impression.
“Auntie could also come live with us often in the future. That bedroom will be empty for you and is cleaned regularly,” Zhao Hongyu said to Grandma.
“Haha, I feel bad,” Grandma laughed happily and replied, “I’m an old woman and don’t want to bother you guys, but Ren could stay over at your place if needed.”
“Ren had stayed over many times already!” Zhao Hongyu said gently.
Hearing Zhao Hongyu’s words, Yue Yang turned and looked at Hao Ren with a quizzical gaze.
“Haha, two families have become one already. Zi can also come to visit our place often!” Grandma was pleased and treated Zi as her granddaughter-in-law.
“We still have to rely on Ren to help Zi with her studies from now on,” Zhao Hongyu said.
“Of course!” Grandma agreed and didn’t think that there was any problem with Zhao Yanzi being both her granddaughter-in-law and her grandson’s ‘student’ at the same time.
While the grown-ups were chatting with each other, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi didn’t talk at all.
After dinner, the grown-ups didn’t finish chatting and wanted to talk more. Besides, it was still raining hard outside, so they couldn’t leave until later. Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi weren’t interested in joining their conversations. They were on the same page in this aspect and found a reason to chill in Zhao Yanzi’s bedroom upstairs.
After returning to her bedroom, Zhao Yanzi turned on her computer, got rid of her slippers, and crossed her legs as she sat on the chair. She opened her QQ 1 as well as a gaming platform; she didn’t want to do homework at all.
Hao Ren was also too lazy to scold her. He walked to the window, saw that the storm was still ongoing, and thought that summoning the rainfall wasn’t an easy task either.
As he thought of the scene where Elder Xu swayed and controlled some of the powers in nature, Hao Ren felt a sense of excitement. The feeling of freedom and power was a tremendous spiritual shock.
Suddenly, Hao Ren was hit with an epiphany. He picked a corner, sat down, rotated the Nature Essence using the Spirit Concentration Scroll, and entered the realm of ecstasy.
Zhao Yanzi turned her head back to look at Hao Ren and murmured, “Fake!”
She concentrated on playing games. She decided to reward herself for obtaining good grades in the exams, and she couldn’t study that hard anymore.
Some water elements entered the house through the window that was slightly open and entered Hao Ren’s nine major acupoints. Zhao Yanzi, who was concentrating on playing games, certainly didn’t notice these dense water elements that formed white mists.
Hao Ren felt that his nine major acupoints were gradually being filled up. The water elements in this world were slowly replenishing the acupoints that couldn’t be filled up before.
Hua, hua, hua…
The noises made by the rain decreased gradually, hinting that the storm had been weakening rapidly.
Hao Ren opened his eyes and felt that he was about to break into the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll, but he couldn’t describe what it was like.
“Never mind, I’ll ask the cultivation master, Su Han, tomorrow,” Hao Ren thought as he stretched his body and stood up.
He looked at Zhao Yanzi; she fell asleep again with her body leaning on the table and her hand still holding the mouse.
“This little brat didn’t do homework at but played games,” Hao Ren thought. He didn’t want to wake her up, so he put a blanket on her and went downstairs.
Yue Yang was in the living room when she saw that the rain was almost finished. She saw Hao Ren come downstairs, waved at him, and said to Grandma, “Mom, I told you that the rain is at most two hours, and you didn’t have to worry.”
“Fine, fine, you’re the expert,” Grandma patted herself and stood up. “Hongyu, it’s about time for me to go back. I’ll visit you again sometime,” she said.
“Have a safe trip, Auntie. If you want to come and live here, you’re welcomed at any time.” Zhao Hongyu walked grandmother to the door respectfully. Even though Zhao Guang didn’t talk much, he was still an excellent host and took good care of the guests. He followed Zhao Hongyu and walked Hao Ren’s family to the door.
Yue Yang drove the white Ford and brought Hao Ren and Grandma home; she drove safely because the road was slippery. In the presence of Grandma, Hao Ren didn’t dare to drive even though his mother drove very slowly.
“Grandma have to tell you again, Ren. We owe Zi’s family a big one. No matter what, you can’t be ungrateful to Zi. You must take good care of her in the future.”
“Mom, let the kids deal with their own things. I think Zi’s too young, and Ren might have someone else he likes already,” Yue Yang said.
Grandma suddenly raised her tone and said, “I only want Zi as my granddaughter-in-law. I don’t want anyone else!”
Yue Yang wanted to say something for Hao Ren, but she couldn’t do anything after Grandma’s rejection. She had the final say in her research institute, but she just won’t even talk back to her mother-in-law at home.
In her mind, she actually preferred Xie Yujia.
“That Class President is similar to Hao Ren in age, has a gentle appearance, and is the best candidate for a daughter-in-law,” she thought.
Hao Ren felt helpless when he saw Grandma getting mad.
“Don’t worry, Grandma. I will treat Zi nicely,” he replied.
“That’s my grandson!” Grandma rubbed Hao Ren’s palm, lowered her voice, and said, “Grandma wants to have great-grandkid…”
“Uh…” Hao Ren’s entire body froze.
“That mission… is extremely difficult…”
