1227 I Want to Make You Stay 105 (1/2)
Fang Erlan kept quiet while Xiao Chenyang answered, ”Yes, Mother-in-law.”
Flabbergasted, Fang Erlan chided, ”We've yet to get married, why are you calling her 'Mother-in-law'…”
”Let him be. He can address me that way. I'm in full support of your relationship anyway,” said Mrs. Fang.
”…”
Fang Erlan did not wish to expose her mother's ulterior motive. She was well aware of what Mrs. Fang was thinking.
However, it was great that she had no objections to Fang Erlan's relationship with Xiao Chenyang.
”Chenyang, we met briefly the previous time and I didn't get the chance to get to know you better. Where do you live?”
How was Xiao Chenyang supposed to answer that?
He had properties all across the globe, and they all belonged to him even though he may have only lived in each house once.
”Home is wherever Erlan is,” he answered.
Mrs. Fang was pleased to hear his answer.
”Although I'm very glad to hear that from you, I still have to know where your parents live.”
”My parents have passed away. They lived in B City.”
”Your parents have passed away?” asked Mrs. Fang, who was elated about that fact, for it meant that Fang Erlan would not have to face any conflicts with her mother-in-law.
”Yes.”
”How old are you this year?”
After a moment of silence, he answered, ”I'm six years older than Erlan.”
”That means you're thirty years old?”
”Yes.”
”Wonderful. When do you guys plan to register your marriage?” asked Mrs. Fang, who was extremely satisfied with her son-in-law-to-be.
”Register our marriage? We can do it anytime as long as she's willing,” Xiao Chenyang said while glancing at Fang Erlan.
Fang Erlan knew that Xiao Chenyang did not have a household register in S Nation and would definitely have to obtain a household register before they could register their marriage.
Thus, she said, ”We can always wait until filming is over before we register our marriage.”
”Yes, yes,” Mrs. Fang agreed, grinning widely from ear to ear. She was as happy as a lark.
”By the way, Mother, there's something I have to tell you. Just relay it to Father,” said Fang Erlan, who then told Mrs. Fang about Fang Ruzhen.
A sullen expression formed on Mrs. Fang's face and she asked, ”You mean, she hired someone to assault you?”
”Yes, she's already been arrested. I almost died because you decided to be nosy and got me to invite her father over to our place. Could you stop poking your nose into others' business from now on?” Fang Erlan chastised in disgruntlement.
Feeling extremely perturbed and horrified, Mrs. Fang asked, ”She doesn't know that I was the one who made you do it, right?”
”Of course not. She's in a terrible plight, though. She's even become a drug addict. The police have arrested her, but I haven't asked them for updates about the situation.”
”It's a pity that their family turned out that way. They were living so happily and peacefully at the start. Look what happened in the end. If her mother wasn't promiscuous and didn't commit adultery, would her father have killed her mother? They've ruined themselves and made their child an orphan.”
”Regardless of what happens to them, it's still their family's affair and you shouldn't have been poking your nose into their business. Just let Father know about this. Keep it from Yunxi.”
”I know. Don't worry, this concerns our family's safety.”
