He looked quite serious, but those who were familiar with Jiang Bo knew that he was a serious old fool.

Upon seeing Jiang Bo, Fang Yuqing stood up hurriedly and greeted him politely and meekly. “Uncle Jiang, are you off work?”

“Yes, how long has Qingqing been here?”

Jiang Bo stood at the entrance, planning to put on his slippers.

It seemed that his future daughter-in-law was standing in the living room with a smile and greeting him. He immediately felt that taking off his shoes was too rude. Jiang Bo did not show what he was thinking.

He put on his shoes and entered the house. The helper beside him saw him and found it strange.

However, Jiang Bo was the owner. As a helper, she was too embarrassed to remind him. She watched as Jiang Bo’s muddy shoes stepped on the floor. Fang Yuqing was surprised to see this.

Upon seeing Jiang Bo walk over, she hurriedly said, “We just arrived.”

Jiang Wei heard the commotion and came out of the tearoom. When he realized that his father had not changed his shoes, his face darkened and he reminded his father, “Father, you forgot to change your shoes.”

Jiang Bo looked at Jiang Weiyi deeply.

He coughed before saying, “I was thinking about something and forgot.”

He returned to the entryway, took off his shoes, and quickly put his feet in his slippers. Fang Yuqing seemed to have seen a hole in her prospective father-in-law’s right sock…

Fang Yuqing’s inner thoughts were especially interesting.

Uncle Jiang was actually wearing torn socks! And they were wool socks!

Was Uncle Jiang so thrifty?

When Jiang Bo looked up, Fang Yuqing had already turned around to talk to Jiang Wei as though nothing had happened. Seeing that his daughter-in-law had not discovered his secret, Jiang Bo heaved a sigh of relief.

The helper then said to Jiang Bo, “Sir, dinner is ready. Do you want it to be served?”

Jiang Bo said, “Bring it to the table.”

He told Fang Yuqing, “Qingqing, you guys eat first. I’ll go upstairs to take a shower.” This was Jiang Bo’s habit. He had to take a shower after work, or he would feel unhappy.

“It’s alright. It’s still early. Let’s go together.”

Jiang Bo nodded and said, “That works too.”

He walked into the tea room, called Liu Qingya, and went upstairs together. When he reached the second floor, Jiang Bo’s seemingly calm face suddenly collapsed. “How embarrassing!” Jiang Bo covered his face, too ashamed to face his parents.

Liu Qingya asked him what was wrong.

Jiang Bo stammered for a long time before saying, “I wore the woolen socks you gave me on my birthday three years ago today.”

“Huh?” Liu Qingya was a little surprised. She asked, “Is it that pair of wool socks with a hole in the big toe?”

“Yes.”

Liu Qingya was very puzzled. She sat down beside Jiang Bo and felt that it was strange. She asked him, “I’ve wanted to ask you for a long time. How many years have you been wearing those socks? They’re already spoiled. Why are you still wearing them? Didn’t I buy you ten new pairs of socks a few days ago? Why don’t I see you wearing them?”

Jiang Bo felt a little wronged. He glanced at Liu Qingya, his eyes full of resentment.

Liu Qingya was baffled by his gaze.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Only then did Jiang Bo tell Liu Qingya softly, “You knitted that for me personally. There’s only one pair. I like it and can’t bear to throw it away.” After saying that, he thought of something and said to Liu Qingya in a crying tone, “You don’t love me anymore. Do you think I’m old?”

“Huh?” Liu Qingya was dumbfounded. “How did I dislike you?”

Jiang Bo said, “In the early years, you would give me handmade products made by you on my birthday. However, you haven’t given me those gifts in the past two years…” This matter had been hidden in Jiang Bo’s heart for too long. Today, his grievance had reached its peak, so he couldn’t help but say it.

Liu Qingya did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Old Jiang, you’re 52 years old, not 12. Why are you talking like a child?”

Jiang Bo looked down at his torn sock and remained silent.

Liu Qingya had always doted on Jiang Bo. Upon seeing his unhappy expression, she could only raise her hands in surrender. “Alright, alright. It’s just a pair of socks. If you throw this pair away, I’ll knit you another pair tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bo stopped.

“Go down and accompany that child. I’ll come down after taking a shower.” Jiang Bo spoke like a sensible adult. Liu Qingya was already used to his mischievous personality.

Outside, Jiang Bo always had the image of a shrewd old man. Anyone who saw his appearance just now would probably be shocked. Actually, in his early years, Jiang Bo was still considered mature and stable. It was just that Liu Qingya doted on him like a child. Gradually, she developed this person’s arrogant and childish personality.

In front of Liu Qingya, Jiang Bo was sometimes mature and sometimes childish. He was an interesting person. Jiang Wei had inherited this from his father.

When Liu Qingya went downstairs, the three children were watching television. It was a very vulgar family drama, and they were also enjoying it.

Liu Qingya stood behind the sofa and stared at Fang Yuqing and Jiang Wei. Fang Yuqing was sitting upright with a cup of coffee in her hand. Jiang Wei, who had always been elegant and polite, was like a boneless child at this moment. He leaned his head on Fang Yuqing’s shoulder.

The two of them should be talking about something interesting. Jiang Wei always made Fang Yuqing roll her eyes at him.

Liu Qingya looked at the duo, as though she was looking at her and Jiang Bo when they were young.

She thought that these two children would definitely be very happy.

She did not care about Fang Yuqing’s past. Who had not met a few scumbags in this day and age? As long as Fang Yuqing treated Jiang Wei well and was loyal to him after getting together with Jiang Wei, Liu Qingya would be satisfied.

They could not just find a daughter-in-law they liked. They had to find someone their child liked.

Clearly, her son had found the person he was destined to meet.

Liu Qingya smiled and clapped her hands, inviting everyone to take a seat in the dining room. Fang Yuqing quickly pushed Jiang Wei’s head away and stood up from the sofa. Seeing that Liu Qingya was going to the kitchen to help the servants serve the dishes, she also said, “Auntie, let me help you.”

Liu Qingya turned around to look at her and then at her daughter, who was slumped on the sofa. She instantly felt that this child was indeed someone else’s child.

Fang Yuqing helped Liu Qingya set up the dishes. Jiang Wei poured the red wine that had already been decanted. Jiang Jie, who was glared at by her mother, ran over to help set up the dishes.

When Jiang Bo came down, dinner started.

Fang Yuqing had known the parents of the Jiang Family for a long time. Two years ago, when she had entered the Jiang Family, she had always been their daughter-in-law-to-be. Therefore, the conversation at this banquet was not serious or formal. They were only talking about family matters.

Fang Yuqing picked up her glass and took a sip. Jiang Wei leaned over and asked, “Can I?”

“What?”

“I thought you can’t drink?” Jiang Wei still remembered the last time Fang Yuqing got drunk and flirted with him. She woke up and forgot about him completely.

Therefore, Jiang Wei kept a respectful distance from alcohol.
