Chapter 136: 136: Will not let her suffer the slightest grievance.
Cen Jin’s heart skipped a beat, and she silently lowered her head, poking her fingers together like a child who had done something wrong.
Ms. Qin and Miss Yu both crossed their arms in unison, their scrutinizing gaze darting back and forth between the two of them. After a long while, Miss Yu Hui finally spoke up, "Aren’t you two going to explain what’s going on here?"
Cen Jin lifted her eyes, on the verge of speaking, but before she could, Jiang Baizhou seized the moment and took her hand: "Mom, Aunt Qin, Cen Jin and I are dating."
As expected, Ms. Qin and Miss Yu were utterly taken aback, their eyes widening in shock as if they’d been dealt a blow.
"How long? When did it start?" Ms. Qin composed herself and continued to ask.
"Yesterday."
"Yesterday?"
"Yeah." Cen Jin nodded emphatically. She had planned to be honest with them after some time, but she never expected it to be exposed so soon, and Ms. Qin just happened to catch them!
In this matter, they really weren’t careful enough!
"So if Xuesu hadn’t seen you today, were you planning to keep it from us forever?" Miss Yu glared at Jiang Baizhou with some anger in her voice.
Jiang Baizhou didn’t respond, just glanced at Cen Jin from the corner of his eye. Spotting this, Cen Jin quickly smiled and said, "Aunt Hui Zi, Mom, we didn’t mean to hide it from you. We... we just got together and wanted to tell you after some time." Towards the end, Cen Jin’s voice got softer and less confident.
"You little brat, I was wondering why you seemed so happy yesterday and this morning, like you’d found money. Turns out you had such great news and didn’t tell me." Hearing this, Ms. Qin Xuesu stood up and reached out a hand, ready to give her a pat.
Catching the situation, Jiang Baizhou swiftly shielded her behind him and gently said, "Aunt Qin, don’t be angry. It’s my fault; as a man, I should have told you honestly from the beginning."
Seeing Jiang Baizhou protecting Cen Jin, Ms. Qin Xuesu withdrew her hand, her expression gradually softened with a smile: "Of course, Hui Zi and I are happy that you two are together. After all, our families have known each other for so long, and we watched you both grow up; we’re well aware of your personalities."
"Yes, the reason we’re upset today is that you two thought of hiding such a big thing from us. Cen Jin is the only daughter-in-law I’ve ever acknowledged. I’ve hinted at Bai Zhou many times before, but he’s just this silent type with no movement, I’ve been so anxious. I was about to discuss it with Xuesu, but you two sorted it out yourselves," Miss Yu Hui smiled, echoing her sentiment, completely losing her previous upset demeanor and becoming all smiles.
This reversal came too quickly, like a tornado, leaving Cen Jin a bit too stunned to react, staring dumbfounded at these two capricious women.
"Jiang Baizhou, I’m warning you! Now that you’re with Cen Jin, treat her well. Don’t let her suffer, and don’t bully her. Also, try to change that silent, straightforward nature of yours."
Upon hearing this, Cen Jin couldn’t help but lower her head and chuckle.
Having suddenly been lectured, Jiang Baizhou only glanced mildly at Miss Yu Hui, without responding.
It wasn’t until he saw the concern in Ms. Qin’s eyes that he pursed his lips tightly, speaking gently and making a promise: "Aunt Qin, don’t worry, I will take good care of Cen Jin and won’t let her suffer in the slightest."
