Chapter 302 - 285: Do you want to come here to gain some experience?
Since the first snow, there have been two more snowfalls in Nancheng, and the temperature dropped directly below zero. It wasn’t until late December, around the days leading up to New Year’s, that the weather gradually warmed up, and people swapped their heavy down jackets for lighter coats.Jiang Baizhou’s clinic went on holiday on December 16th, but Cen Jin and her studio took two orders in December, so they only had their break starting from December 23rd. Jiang Yuyang came back from Bo Academy on December 27th, and for some unknown reason, got into a big argument with Miss Yu Hui that night.
When Cen Jin received a call from her own Ms. Qin, she hurriedly dragged Jiang Baizhou home to mediate, but by then, the two of them were already in a cold war. Cen Jin had no choice but to adopt a strategy where each would persuade one party. She sent Jiang Baizhou to talk to Jiang Yuyang, but Jiang Baizhou was entirely unwilling to be involved. He didn’t even know how to start the conversation. If it weren’t for Cen Jin’s threatening look, he thought, how much more pleasant it would be to sit in the living room eating the snacks made by his mother-in-law, sipping coffee, and watching TV!
Why get involved in his parents’ affairs?
"Mom..." Cen Jin knocked on the bedroom door, gently pushed it open, and peeked her head inside.
Upon hearing Cen Jin’s voice, Miss Yu Hui hastily wiped away her tears and quickly got up with a smile, saying, "Cen Jin! Why are you back? You didn’t call in advance. Have you eaten yet?"
Cen Jin was taken aback. In fact, although their families had known each other for so many years, it was her first time seeing Miss Yu Hui cry. She had only ever seen the kindly and joyful side of Miss Yu Hui. Seeing her cry tugged at her heart, so she went over, held her hand, and smiled, "Yes, I’ve eaten. Mom, have you eaten?"
Miss Yu Hui sighed, "Eat what? I have no appetite at all."
"But you still need to eat. I heard Dad is back. Did you have a fight with Dad?" Cen Jin was actually very curious. In her impression, Jiang Yuyang was always gentle and never raised his voice. She couldn’t imagine him getting angry and having an argument.
"This afternoon, he came back from Bo Academy and just stayed in his study. In the evening, when I was preparing dinner, I asked him what he wanted to eat. He said anything was fine, so I suggested going to the nearby supermarket to get some ginger and chili. He agreed, but then stayed put, and when I had prepared all the ingredients in the kitchen, he still hadn’t left. I called him again, he said okay, but still showed no intention of moving. I got angry, walked over, and accidentally stepped on something of his. He then snapped at me. Do you think I wouldn’t be mad?" Miss Yu Hui knew well that such matters between the elders shouldn’t be spoken of with the younger generation, especially not with her daughter-in-law, but she had always treated Cen Jin like her own daughter, so there were no reservations.
Once Cen Jin understood the situation, she suddenly realized the issue and comforted, "In this matter, Dad was at fault. Don’t be angry. I’ll have a good word with Dad later. How can he behave like this!"
"You also think he’s wrong, don’t you!" Hearing that Cen Jin was on her side, Miss Yu Hui felt even more aggrieved, as if she hadn’t done anything wrong. "He even said I’m unreasonable, incomprehensible. I don’t know who’s the one who’s really unreasonable. That bookworm, I must have been blind back then to fall for him."
Listening to Miss Yu Hui’s grievances, Cen Jin couldn’t help but find it amusing. It seemed that even though they were over fifty, when they fought, it was just like young couples these days, about trivial matters.
"Yes, yes, look at how our beautiful Miss Yu Hui gets wrinkles if she continues to frown."
"Wrinkles, really? Where, where?" Miss Yu Hui had always taken great care of her appearance, so she didn’t look like someone in her fifties at all.
With Cen Jin having calmed down Miss Yu Hui, the scene in the study was quite different. The father and son were seated around the tea table, enjoying their tea. Jiang Yuyang refilled his tea cup with the teapot, smiling, "This tea isn’t bad, right? I snagged a packet from Dean Hao when I came back today."
Jiang Baizhou picked up his tea cup again, smelled it at the nose, and took a light sip. "Yes, it’s good tea," he said, then paused, put the cup down, and continued naturally, "I heard you had a fight with Mom?"
