Chapter 1172: Chapter 1168: Two or Three Matters of the Si Family
It’s so heart-wrenching!
Although it indeed needs to be intense here, can’t you all tone it down a bit?
Jason immediately walked over and hugged Qiao Xiaren, who was still in tears.
The emotional outburst here was truly strong, and for a moment, everyone couldn’t adjust. Yunduo draped a coat over Qiao Xiaren and brought her some hot water.
"Go change your clothes."
Qiao Xiaren immediately went to the dressing room to change, to avoid catching a cold.
Si Family
When Si Limo came back, he happened to see the live broadcast of Crisis III. Qiao Xiaren still had an air of grace and elegance, while the people around her, even those with a dignified western appearance, couldn’t match her innate temperament.
"Brother, you’re back?"
Si Yelin immediately picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, only for Madam Si to tap him on the back of his hand: "You’re all grown up, yet still so childish. Go call your sister down for dinner."
Helplessly, he put down his chopsticks and went upstairs to call his sister.
Not long after, Si Zhilan came rushing down the stairs.
Madam Si took Si Limo’s coat from his hands; it was already brightly lit outside: "Just got back? Look how long the show’s been on. Oh dear, my daughter-in-law is so beautiful."
After saying all this, she noticed his gaze was fixed on the TV, so she changed the subject: "Come over and eat. Mom had a lot of your favorite dishes prepared today."
Madam Si intentionally brought this up. After all, they had been together for three years, and both families had communicated well. But why doesn’t this boy get it?
Xiaren basically counts as having no mother, so she could only interact with the old lady. Not being of the same generation always felt awkward. But what made her happy was that the old lady was very nice.
Yet, with the New Year approaching, there’s still no firm word on the daughter-in-law issue!
Seeing her other two children sitting down, she couldn’t help but say: "Yelin, last time Mrs. Zhang mentioned her daughter is back from abroad. Would you like to meet her? Didn’t you two get along well when you were kids?"
When he heard this, Si Yelin got a bit of a headache: "Mom, I’m swamped with work at the company right now, I don’t have the time or mood for these things."
"You brat, what do you mean by that? You’re already 25, others are married with kids, and you’re still single. How can I face others? What’s more, what do you plan to do if you’re not dating anyone?"
Madam Si forcefully took his bowl, insisting her son take this issue seriously.
On one hand, Madam Si was genuinely scolding her son; on another, she was nudging Si Limo, her expression saying something like, "Hurry and give me a daughter-in-law, hurry and give me a daughter-in-law!"
This is probably the sorrow of being over 20; you’re no longer a baby.
Si Zhilan smugly glanced at her second brother, enjoying her meal comfortably and contentedly.
Si Yelin exaggeratedly sighed: "Mom, by seeing how calm my brother is, you should know that he is not far from proposing to the sister-in-law. Can’t you push them first?"
"You all chat, I’m full and heading back to my room." Si Limo pushed away his bowl, checked the time, and wanted to call her.
"Hey, son, at least tell me about your progress with Xiaren." Madam Si turned back to say something, but seeing him go straight upstairs, she turned and glared at the other one in front of her, "Did your brother ever hint to you before? Quickly tell me, has he really settled on a timeframe for the proposal?"
