Chapter 806: Because of You, I Look Forward to Marriage (6)
Jiayu listened, stunned for a few seconds before she realized what Xu Qingru was worried about, and she was instantly amused yet speechless.
The ring Mu Ke gave her wasn’t particularly extravagant, but anyone who knew a bit about jewelry would recognize it as a piece from a major international luxury brand, expensive in itself. And with the diamonds of top quality and not small carat size, it would be impossible to get it for less than seven figures.
So, was her mother worried that she would make Mu Ke poor?
Jiayu was speechless and was about to explain when she heard the sound of a car engine outside. Mu Ke had returned.
"Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. You figure it out. I believe you can handle it," she said.
Jiayu: "..."
Mu Ke walked in with a small suitcase, and upon seeing Jiayu, his eyes immediately softened. But then he saw Jiayu looking at him with an amused yet helpless expression.
Mu Ke subconsciously frowned and touched his face. Was there something wrong with him?
Xu Qingru stood up and smiled, "I had agreed with my friends to go on a vacation. I just came back to pack my things and then leave."
"What?"
Jiayu was stunned. A vacation?
When did Xu Qingru decide to go on a vacation?
"They had originally planned it, to leave on the first day of the month, and I joined in at the last minute. I hadn’t gone out in a while."
Jiayu frowned, "Mom, this..."
Xu Qingru interrupted her, "It’s fine. They’re all uncles and aunts you know. Come on, help me pack."
Jiayu continued to frown. She knew the reason behind her mother’s decision, and while her mother wasn’t incapable of managing herself, she was slightly unhappy with this sudden plan.
But Jiayu also knew that despite Xu Qingru’s gentle and ladylike appearance, once she made a decision, no one could change her mind.
Like when she decided on a divorce despite being pregnant, after learning about her husband’s affair.
As Jiayu helped Xu Qingru pack, she muttered, "Mom, there’s really no need for this. Why are you so keen to travel during the holidays when there are so many people out there?"
The mother and daughter took over twenty minutes to pack, before carrying the suitcase downstairs, where Mu Ke drove her to meet her friends.
Unable to help herself, Jiayu nagged a little more, and Xu Qingru finally couldn’t resist giving her a playful glare and then looked at Mu Ke, "Little Mu, you have to endure Jiayu’s nagging."
"I..."
Mu Ke smiled, "I enjoy listening to it, Aunt. Have a safe trip, and give us a call when you arrive."
Watching them play off each other, Jiayu’s face turned bright red. Was she adopted?
Otherwise, why was her mother either worried about her spending too much of Mu Ke’s money or feeling sorry for Mu Ke having to endure her nagging?
After seeing Xu Qingru off, Jiayu turned her head and gave Mu Ke a hard pinch on the waist.
Then she turned around and walked away briskly.
Mu Ke stood where he was, touching his nose. It seemed... the wife was angry.
Just back in the car, Miss Sheng started complaining, "Do you know what my mom told me this morning? She said to tell you not to bother with these flashy things. She’s worried that marrying me might make you poor. I feel like I’m a bonus that came with a top-up."
Mu Ke chuckled, starting the car as he spoke, "So should I post on Zhihu asking, ’What to do if my mother-in-law mistakenly thinks I’m too poor?’ and see what advice everyone has?"
