Yan Yan

Chapter 18.3 – Boyfriend

After Su Jianye and his family settled down in the living room, Liu Xiang and Su Jianan went to the kitchen to continue making lunch.

Liu Xiang closed the kitchen door on purpose and asked her husband in a low voice, “What do you think of Qianqian’s boyfriend?”

“It’s not good! He has been staring at our Yanyan since he entered the door. Look, little rascal!” Su Jianan replied angrily.

The three members and Liu Xiang were talking with Mrs. Su. She then took out the walnut 

kernels she had peeled in the past few days from under the coffee table, and stuffed into Su Qian’s arms. “You worked hard in the previous exam, and Grandma especially peeled walnuts for you to nourish your brain!”

Su Qian curled her lips. “Only peeled for me? Xiao Zhan must have it too, and he must have gotten more than me.”

When comparing her grandson to her granddaughter, indeed, Mrs. Su favoured the grandson more than this granddaughter. “He is still studying in college and has to use his brain a lot. He should consume more walnuts than you, isn’t that normal?

“What about Su Yan?” Su Qian repeated.

Mrs. Su snorted sarcastically, saying, “Her brain is not easy to use, and if it is easy to use, it wouldn’t let the man run away. It doesn’t matter how many walnuts she eats. She will be forever stupid!”

After hearing her grandma’s words, Su Qian was happy. She clasped Grandma’s arm and said, “I knew Grandma was the best for me.” Even though she couldn’t compare to Su Zhan, she could still crush Su Yan.

Chen Baihui also echoed with a smile, “Isn’t that right, Grandma is the best person in this world to you, you have to know how to be grateful.”

Su Qian was very cooperative. “Of course, I know! I love Grandma more than you!”

Mrs. Su was coaxed to be happy, she glanced at the kitchen, then lowered her voice and said to her younger son and daughter-in-law, “You two come with me.” 

Su Jianye and Chen Baihui looked at each other for a while, immediately stood up, and followed Mrs. Su, leaving Su Qian and her boyfriend Lin Chuanhao there. Every time they visited their mother, she would secretly stuff something: either money or jewellery. 

As there was no one around, Su Qian put the airtight jar on the coffee table, and said with disdain, “This old woman only has her grandson in her eyes, so I don’t care for her peeled walnuts!”

“At least you still have it, your sister doesn’t even have a piece of walnut skin,” Lin Chuanhao soothed his girlfriend.

“How can I compare with her?” asked Su Qian.

“There is no need to compare you to anyone.” After pausing for a while, Lin Chuanhao abruptly changed his tone, “But your sister is quite attractive.”

What Su Qian hated the most was when people praised Su Yan in front of her, especially when they praised Su Yan for her good looks. She suddenly turned her head and stared at her boyfriend. “What do you mean? Do you think she is prettier than me?”

‘She is indeed prettier than you, has a better figure than you, and is more than one notch better than you in every aspect, Lin Chuanhao thought but dared not say that. “That’s impossible, my girlfriend is the prettiest!”

Su Qian didn’t believe it. “Did you fall in love with her?”

Lin Chuanhao: “How is it possible? Who doesn’t know that she is a second-hand product that was kicked away? I can still see her?”

Su Qian was finally satisfied this time and raised the corners of her lips. “I think so too.”

By noon, Liu Xiang had finished preparing, so the family sat around the big round table in the dining room and started the meal.

After Chen Baihui was seated, she took a look at the dishes on a large table, and said admiringly, “Sister-in-law’s craftsmanship is amazing! It’s really hard work!” 

Liu Xiang replied with a smile, “It’s not hard, and everyone should eat well.”

Chen Baihui looked at Liu Xiang again, her expression and tone filled with envy. “Oh, my sister-in-law’s skincare is really good, she’s not a yellow-faced woman like me, and she’s busy every morning and night taking care of the house, unlike me, who doesn’t even have time to cook for my family. Sister-in-law, you are beautiful and virtuous, and it is a great blessing for my elder brother to marry you.”

Liu Xiang felt a little embarrassed by her praise and hurriedly waved his hands. “No, no!”

At this time, Old Madam Su suddenly snorted coldly. “Staying every day at home, she dared not do anything, and like other people in the city, she spent so much money to buy bottles and jars. Can the skin be bad? Her face is covered with hard-earned money by her own man!”

Liu Xiang was ashamed. Although she felt wronged, she didn’t refute her mother-in-law’s words in public.

“What do you mean my mother is idle at home every day and doesn’t do anything? Doesn’t she clean the house? Doesn’t she wash the clothes of the whole family?

Doesn’t she cook the food you eat, and…” Su Yan questioned angrily, as she could not stay silent anymore listening to the old lady.

“Yan Yan!”

Su Jianan and Liu Xiang scolded their daughter at the same time, so Su Yan shut her mouth angrily.

Su Zhan was fearless, and he couldn’t let his grandmother bully his family members in front of outsiders. “My sister is wrong? Are Grandma’s words true then?”

Although Su Zhan loved his Grandma, he didn’t want to see his Grandma bullying his mother. Not to mention that he was brought up by his mother, and he still loved his mother more.

Seeing her precious grandson getting angry, old lady Su shut her mouth tightly.
