Chapter 2573: Chapter 2350: I Am Your Mother-in-law! (Part 3)
"Yes, yes, thank you to both officers," Chen Xinghai said to the two policemen.
"We’re all brothers here, since that’s the case, shall we leave this to you then?" the two policemen asked Chen Xinghai.
"Sure."
"Then we’ll be going."
Chen Xinghai drove with Yuanyuan to the restaurant to find Song Xiaodong, calling his mother on the way.
"Mom, I found Yuanyuan. When I got there, she was standing on the rooftop of their building, about to jump," said Chen Xinghai.
"What? What happened then?" Chen Xinghai’s mother asked, her eyes wide open.
"Now everything’s fine, we’re heading to the restaurant."
"That’s good, that’s good."
Chen Xinghai’s father, who could walk again, was pacing excitedly inside the restaurant. Hearing the tone of his wife’s call, he came over to ask what was happening.
"What’s wrong?"
"Xinghai said when he got there, Yuanyuan was standing on the rooftop about to jump off," Chen Xinghai’s mother said to his father, Song Shuyun, and Yuan Jiancheng.
"What?" Song Shuyun and Yuan Jiancheng were so surprised by Chen Xinghai’s mother’s words that they stood up directly from their chairs.
"But everything’s fine now. Chen Xinghai went and saved Yuanyuan. They’re on their way here now," Chen Xinghai’s mother quickly added.
"Oh..." Yuan Jiancheng and Song Shuyun sat back down with different expressions.
"Look at what you’ve done!" Yuan Jiancheng suddenly slapped the table at Song Shuyun.
"Why blame everything on me? Didn’t you also beam with joy when Lu Shilong came?" Song Shuyun retorted quietly, looking at Yuan Jiancheng out of the corner of her eye.
"Go ahead and keep messing around. I’m telling you, I only have one daughter, and if anything happens to her because of you, I’ll deal with you!" Yuan Jiancheng said to Song Shuyun.
"I’m doing this for Yuanyuan’s sake too! I want her to find a good family and suffer less in the future!" Song Shuyun replied, tearing up at Yuan Jiancheng’s words.
"I think you’re just being greedy. Can’t you afford our son’s house? You’re just reluctant to part with that bit of money," Yuan Jiancheng said angrily, making Song Shuyun feel ashamed.
"I’m thinking about us both. If we don’t save some money, and in the future, our son won’t care, and our daughter won’t care, what will we do? Right now, I can’t even control my daughter’s dating. What will it become in the future?" Song Shuyun said.
"Is raising children about controlling them? Your daughter has her own life. It’s her choice who she marries. Do you have to push her until she’s dead to be happy?" Chen Xinghai’s voice suddenly rang out from behind the group.
Chapter 2352: Don’t Do Anything Foolish!
Yuan Yuan, holding Chen Xinghai’s hand, followed behind, her face streaked with tears and her hair disheveled.
"Yuanyuan!" Song Shuyun and Yuan Jiancheng both walked up.
"Yuanyuan, please don’t do anything foolish!" Song Shuyun wanted to hug Yuan Yuan but was pushed away.
"Yuanyuan, are you mad at mom?" Song Shuyun asked.
"Mom, I’ve decided to be with Chen Xinghai in this life. Didn’t you say that if I’m with him, you’d rather die first? I’m telling you, if you don’t let me be with Chen Xinghai, I’ll die first! I’ll die right now!" Yuan Yuan said to Song Shuyun with a firm gaze.
"You!..." Song Shuyun reached her finger out, almost touching the tip of Yuan Yuan’s nose. After looking at her for a long time, she finally turned away with a long sigh: "Ah, you’ve grown up..."
"Chen Xinghai, if you want to be with my daughter, it’s not impossible, but I have one condition," Song Shuyun said, as if she had aged many years.
"What condition?" Shi Dangkai asked before Chen Xinghai could respond.
"My daughter can’t go live in Stone Town with you, you need to buy a house for Yuanyuan, in Minghe City," said Song Shuyun.
"That’s no problem. Didn’t I already tell you? If you become the director, you’ll get a welfare house, housing fund, and subsidies. I’ll arrange for the welfare house to be in Minghe City and that’s it," said Qiao Yutong.
"If that’s the case, I have no problem. Just treat my daughter well," Song Shuyun sat down on the chair dejectedly.
"Xinghai!" Upon hearing Song Shuyun’s words, Yuanyuan couldn’t help herself, jumping to hug Chen Xinghai, both hands wrapped around his neck, her whole body hanging off him.
Shi Dangkai realized: "Hey? Since both families’ parents are here, why not just settle things directly?"
Shi Dangkai glanced at Song Shuyun and Yuan Jiancheng, then at Chen Xinghai’s parents.
Hearing Shi Dangkai’s words, Chen Xinghai and Yuanyuan separated, exchanged a look, and embraced each other again. Chen Xinghai’s parents were certainly willing, Yuan Jiancheng had no objections, but Song Shuyun remained silent with her head down.
"Old wife, you should agree," Yuan Jiancheng said to Song Shuyun.
Song Shuyun lifted her head to find Song Xiaodong, Qiao Yutong, Song Jiaren, Chen Xinghai’s parents, Shi Dangkai, Chen Xinghai, Yuanyuan, and Yuan Jiancheng at two tables, all waiting for her to make the final statement.
"Alright then, let’s sit down and talk first."
Chen Xinghai’s father Chen Gengyun, mother Chen Ning, and Yuanyuan’s father Yuan Jiancheng, mother Song Shuyun sat at a table, facing each other.
"I’ll provide 100,000 as the bride price," Yuan Jiancheng said straightforwardly.
Song Shuyun gave Yuan Jiancheng a sidelong glance, "We won’t finalize anything today. We’ll decide when the house is bought and the engagement is set."
"Let’s all discuss first and we’ll finalize everything during the engagement," Shi Dangkai suggested.
