Chapter 653: Meeting Her Parents-in-Law

“Why did you come back?” Shu Pan asked, somewhat surprised. Wasn’t she doing fine here?

“I regret coming back a bit too. Now that I’m back, they treat me like a pig, just eat and sleep. When I wake up, it’s time to eat again,” Ye Xiaomeng complained. She thought coming back would mean freedom and good food, but her parents, upon learning about her pregnancy, became overly protective, treating her like a national treasure.

“Don’t complain when you’re in a good situation. And hey, you and He Ming are getting married, and you didn’t inform me right away about such big news? That’s unacceptable,” Shu Pan pretended to scold her.

“Hey, girl, I only accepted his proposal. But his mom’s attitude is still lukewarm. I don’t even know if we can get married,” Shu Pan and Ye Xiaomeng both knew that He Ming was a filial son who wouldn’t want to disappoint his mother.

“As long as He Ming remains firm, there shouldn’t be a problem. You don’t live with her, so it’s not a big deal. Look at us, isn’t it the same with Shaoting’s mom? She has never liked me, but we still live our own lives peacefully,” Shu Pan had long since come to terms with it, not expecting any reconciliation with Song Can.

“See, we’ve already made plans. Both sets of parents will meet next week,” Ye Xiaomeng said nervously.

“With He Ming around, everything will be fine. Don’t worry,” Shu Pan reassured her.

The two chatted for a long time before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

When Shu Pan returned to the living room, Gu Shaoting had already finished his noodles and gone to the bedroom to shower.

Shu Pan stuck out her tongue. He was really fast, but she and Xiaomeng had indeed chatted for quite a while.

As Shu Pan returned to the bedroom, Gu Shaoting came out of the shower. “Finished chatting?”

“Yeah, aren’t you supposed to be busy working tonight?” Shu Pan found it unusual for him to finish early; he usually worked in his study until late.

“I have a more important task tonight,” Gu Shaoting said with a meaningful look in his eyes as he watched Shu Pan.

Shu Pan immediately understood his intentions and went to take a shower, feeling a bit shy.

The day for He Ming and Xiaomeng’s parents to meet arrived quickly. Ye Xiaomeng had been resting at home for some time now, her body slightly larger due to her pregnancy. She got up early in the morning and prepared herself.

She was still very nervous, worried that He Ming’s mother might embarrass her parents.

Father Ye and Mother Ye also woke up early to get ready. To show respect, they even dressed in formal attire.

Before long, He Ming came to pick them up in his car. Since He Ming’s father could drive, He Ming didn’t need to pick them up himself.

They arranged to meet at the Bin City Grand Hotel, where He Ming had booked a private room for convenience.

When they arrived, He Ming’s father and mother were already seated inside.

He Ming’s father was usually very busy, but for his son’s lifelong event, he had cleared his schedule.

“Hello,” He Ming’s father stood up and shook hands with Father Ye.

“Hello,” they exchanged pleasantries.

“Uncle, Auntie, hello,” Ye Xiaomeng greeted them politely.

“Please, have a seat,” He Ming’s father warmly invited them.

Seeing He Ming’s father’s attitude, Shu Pan breathed a sigh of relief. On the way here, she had prepared for the worst.

Indeed, He Ming’s mother now seemed cold and aloof, a stark contrast to He Ming’s father. She had a stern expression, devoid of any smiles.

Mother Ye felt awkward seeing her demeanor. She had intended to strike up a conversation with her, but seeing her lack of interest and reluctance to talk, she decided against it.

“We trust you with the arrangements for the wedding date. We have no objections,” Father Ye spoke up.
