Chapter 257 Meeting the Parents
imperial capital.
Military compound.
A girl with a beauty mark on the corner of her mouth was waiting outside the courtyard early in the morning. Her eyes kept scanning the pedestrians walking in this direction, and her eyes seemed to be filled with some expectation.
Inside the courtyard, several people were also busy at work.
"That brat finally dared to come see me." A middle-aged man in military uniform sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, looking towards the entrance, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and anticipation.
His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, and he exuded an aura of majesty.
This man was none other than Jiang Tianchen, the highest-ranking officer of the Forbidden City Army.
The Forbidden City Army is the most prestigious military force in central China. To put it simply, they are an elite special forces unit, with all members being top-notch fighters drawn from various military regions.
The fact that Jiang Tianchen could suppress this group of unruly military geniuses shows that his strength must be extraordinary.
Sitting next to Jiang Tianchen was an elderly man who was somewhat frail but in excellent spirits.
The old man was dressed in a simple gray cloth robe. Although his clothes were simple, his demeanor was exceptionally outstanding.
Most notably, the old man showed no aura whatsoever, as if he were one with his surroundings.
However, even in this scorching heat, a gentle breeze always surrounded him, bringing a touch of coolness.
His hands were gently placed on his knees, his fingers slightly bent, and his gaze was calmly fixed on the distance. At first glance, he looked just like a wise and enlightened sage.
However, when the old man heard Jiang Tianchen's words, his emotions were instantly ignited.
"Hmph! If it weren't for you, how could Yu brat not come to see this old man?"
"Dad, that's my daughter, your granddaughter!" Jiang Tianchen said anxiously.
"That's my grandson-in-law too," the old man said, his eyes widening as he looked at Jiang Tianchen.
"How did he become your grandson-in-law? I, as his father, haven't even agreed to it yet," Jiang Tianchen said.
"Her father disagrees, but her father's father agrees," the old man retorted loudly, not to be outdone.
At this moment, the two people arguing in the courtyard no longer resembled people in high positions at all; they were just two elementary school students arguing with their faces flushed!
Jiang Tianchen's wife, An Yeshan, listened to the two arguing while busy preparing the dishes.
She seemed to have long been accustomed to the arguments between her husband and father-in-law.
Because Hua Yu said a few days ago that he was coming to our house today, this house has been anything but quiet.
A steadfast supporter, as if they were certain of it.
One may support it in their heart, but on the surface they must pretend to be unwilling.
There's also a little one who just chuckles to himself all day long.
An Yeshan felt that as Jiang Shaoxu's mother, it was time for her to express her opinion on her.
"Chen, Xiaoyu is handsome, strong, and a perfect match for us. What are you dissatisfied with?"
An Yeshan had met Hua Yu before. As a member of the transmigrator army, Hua Yu behaved naturally like a little adult when he was young, and he was very polite to his elders. An Yeshan already had a good impression of him, and after seeing Hua Yu's performance in Venice on TV some time ago, she was full of praise for him.
Therefore, she, as a mother, supports Hua Yu and Jiang Shaoxu's relationship.
"You two are so foolish! You made such a hasty decision without even observing that kid properly," Jiang Tianchen said angrily.
"You little rascal, who are you calling confused? Don't you know? I watched Xiaoyu grow up; what else do I need to observe?"
"Hmph, I don't agree anyway. My heart aches for my daughter." Jiang Tianchen insisted on his position.
"You brat, you think you're all grown up now? You dare to talk back to me?" The old man, Jiang Yuanzhao, was so angry he almost jumped up.
Upon hearing this, just as Jiang Tianchen was about to say something, Jiang Yuanzhao suddenly gestured for him to be quiet.
At the same time, Jiang Tianchen's ears twitched slightly. In an instant, his face, which had turned red from the argument, returned to normal, and he once again exuded a faint aura of power.
Apart from the occasional sounds of An Yeshan cooking, there was no other noise in the entire courtyard.
A few minutes later, Hua Yu appeared in Jiang Shaoxu's sight.
Jiang Shaoxu spotted him immediately, and an excited smile bloomed on her face as she rushed towards Hua Yu like a joyful little bird.
A couple who had been separated for a long time embraced tightly, their love filled with deep affection and longing!
"Brother Xiaoyu, are you nervous?" Jiang Shaoxu suddenly asked softly after the intimate hug.
Hearing this, Hua Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's alright. After all, I still had to come and see anyway. Actually, I was already prepared, so I'm not particularly nervous. I'm just a little worried that Uncle Jiang might go too far later."
"Don't worry, I'm here." Jiang Shaoxu smiled, took Hua Yu's hand, and led him into the courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, Jiang Shaoxu led Hua Yu to Jiang Yuanzhao and Jiang Tianchen.
When Hua Yu saw that Jiang Yuanzhao was also there, his eyes lit up instantly, and he secretly rejoiced: Uncle Jiang, I'm afraid you won't be able to come for this beating.
Hua Yu greeted the group politely with a smile.
"Grandpa Jiang, Uncle Jiang, Aunt An."
His tone was warm and natural, as if he had returned to his innocent self from back then.
However, if we could turn back time, he should also be addressed as Brother Jiang!
Unfortunately, this name no longer exists.
Jiang Yuanzhao had a big smile on his face, and his eyes revealed his fondness for Hua Yu.
He carefully examined Hua Yu, his eyes full of admiration, and then beckoned Hua Yu to come closer.
"Young Yu, come here quickly, let Grandpa take a good look at you."
At this moment, even Jiang Tianchen was at a loss for what fault Hua Yu should find to criticize.
Hua Yu had been roaming around various military compounds since childhood, and was deeply loved and cared for by everyone.
Today, he has grown into a handsome young man who not only led his team to win the championship in the university competition for the country, but is also known as the world's number one young mage.
Jiang Tianchen could confront Hua Zhanhong about Hua Yu's past deception in stealing his daughter's first kiss, or he could verbally threaten to teach Hua Yu a lesson. However, when Hua Yu actually appeared in front of him, the anger in Jiang Tianchen's heart quickly dissipated without a trace.
After all, this was the son-in-law he had been satisfied with back then!
"Uncle Jiang."
After leaving Jiang Yuanzhao's side, Hua Yu went to Jiang Tianchen's side and looked at him with a nervous expression.
Seeing this, Jiang Tianchen said somewhat irritably, "You'd better have a few more drinks with me later."
Hearing this, Hua Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
The fact that you're not angry already says a lot!
Hua Yu's smile widened, and he quickly nodded, saying, "No problem!"
"Dinner's ready!"
