Chapter 889: Son, You Can Do It!
Qin Qian suddenly froze when she heard that and hurriedly asked, "Who?"
Fang Hao was instantly all about the gossip, demanding to know as well, "Who, who?"
Nangong Jin just smiled, gave the gossip-hungry Fang Hao a look, but the words that were on the tip of his tongue slipped back down.
"I’m not telling you," he said with a mysterious smile, ending the conversation there.
Then he waved his hand, "I’m off to eat some barbecue, I’m so hungry."
After saying that, he dashed off in a flash.
Fang Hao blinked and couldn’t help but poke Li Hui, asking, "Who has your Xiaojin taken a fancy to, huh?"
Li Hui glanced at Fang Hao and then at the already distant Nangong Jin and finally smiled, "I don’t know either."
Since Nangong Jin wasn’t saying, it was better she kept quiet.
Otherwise, messing it up would really be bad, and besides, she hadn’t figured out if Nangong Jin truly had feelings for Di Jinxuan!
This kid never seemed serious, and while the two families were old friends, it wouldn’t be good if these uncertainties caused any awkwardness or strife.
After all, nobody knew how Fang Hao would react or what her attitude would be if she found out.
What if she disagreed or even opposed? That would be quite a headache, right?
Now that the three older brothers had already started torturing Nangong Jin, if Fang Hao joined in, would Nangong Jin be able to stand it?
So, for the sake of her son’s life, it was better to be safe and not tell Fang Hao for the time being.
If Fang Hao really intended to matchmake Di Jinxuan with Nangong Jin, she would have said so already and not joked about the second brother being a match for Nangong Jin.
Therefore, it was clear that Nangong Jin’s decision was the right one.
For now, it was best not to make enemies if it could be helped.
With three older brothers already in the way, Nangong Jin couldn’t even get close to Di Jinxuan, let alone if Fang Hao got involved—it would truly be game over.
Li Hui was inwardly very vexed.
Fang Hao, however, was buzzingly excited and nodding, "That’s great news! Congratulations, congratulations, with Xiaojin’s charm, I trust it won’t be long before you’re welcoming a daughter-in-law, hahaha."
"Yes," Li Hui answered with a wry smile.
Qin Qian shrugged and pouted her lips, "Ah, what a pity."
"No worries, no worries," Li Hui patted her, "My son is your son."
At those words, Qin Qian immediately brightened up, nodding, "Of course."
But inside, she still felt a bit gloomy; after all, what kinship could match that of a son-in-law?
Fang Hao sympathetically said to Qin Qian, "Qianqian, there are more monks than porridge, understand!"
Qin Qian immediately felt even more frustrated. Yes!
More monks than porridge, she thought; she had seven daughters, and so far, only one was married off, which was quite depressing.
"Children have their own luck," Li Hui philosophically summed up from the side.
She glanced at the children who were laughing and chatting in groups of two and three.
But Li Hui saw Di Mingjue whispering with Di Mingchen.
Instantly she felt a pang of sadness, guessing they must be thinking up ways to deal with Nangong Jin again.
Aw, she did feel a bit of pity for him.
However, when it came to chasing after a wife, how could one not make some sacrifices?
Besides, he wasn’t pursuing just anyone but someone from the Empire’s Di Family, who could call the wind and summon the rain; wouldn’t it require some ingenuity?
My boy, keep it up, mommy believes in you. As long as you’re not tormented to death, keep striving and get back up.
Mommy trusts that you will definitely bring Di Jinxuan home!
She’s young, has a good background, and is outstanding herself; of course she’s hard to chase. Don’t ever give up, mommy is waiting to hold grandkids!
While Di Mingjue and Di Mingchen were whispering, Gu Qibao, Nangong Ran, and another were also whispering among themselves.
Nangong Jin had gone to fuss with the barbecue, and among the children of the Gu family, only Gu Mian had come.
