"If we're not free then we won't go," Lin Yuzhen scoffed.
Just as she said that, the phone rang again. This time it was from Su Mei.
Clearly her eldest aunt didn't trust her to pass on the message and was afraid that her family wouldn't attend the celebration, so she called Su Mei's phone directly.
"I have to take care of your father and I can't get away. Yuzhen, you should go. No matter what, Grandma is an elder and it's only right of us to celebrate her birthday."
Su Mei did have issues with this sister of hers, but she remained filial to her own mother.
Lin Yuzhen didn't know what to say. She opened her mouth to say that she didn't want to go, but Su Mei had already hung up.
Jiang Ning was amused. He had never seen Lin Yuzhen so reluctant before.
Don't look so grouchy anymore. We'll go over tomorrow and I can take the chance to say hello to your relatives," said Jiang Ning. "Since I'm the son-in-law, I should greet my new relatives too."
"They might not like you very much,” replied Lin Yuzhen unkindly.
That didn't bother Jiang Ning. But since his mother-in-law had entrusted this duty to him, he was going to make sure he did it well.
First thing the next morning, Jiang Ning sent Lin Yuzhen to the office to settle a few urgent matters, then went to the mall and bought a present.
Then he went back to pick Lin Yuzhen up and they headed for her grandmother's house in Xiancheng.
"Jiang Ning, if they ask a lot of questions, just answer them simply. If they say anything bad about you, please don't be angry."
Lin Yuzhen looked a little awkwardly at Jiang Ning. "Those relatives of mine might be a bit too curious."
She knew those people only too well.
"Relax, I know what to do."
Meanwhile, at the Su house in Xiancheng.
There were lanterns and ribbons everywhere. Those who didn't know anything would have thought it was Lunar New Year.
