Chapter 209: Marry Out To Make Room In The House For Younger Brother
Jiang Yuan wasn’t sure if she misheard, looking at Chocolate and asking, “Were you just cursing someone?”
“Cursing?” Fried Ice Cream suddenly widened her eyes, lowering her gaze to the blue cat in her arms, “Chocolate, I asked you to bless Yuan Yuan, how could you curse someone?”
“I wasn’t cursing Yuan Yuan!” Chocolate tilted his head, meowing, “Meow was cursing Qi Qi, your heartless mother.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan explained to Fried Ice Cream, “Qi Qi, Chocolate wasn’t cursing me.”
“That’s good, that’s good!” Fried Ice Cream breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned in confusion, “Then who was Chocolate cursing?”
Chocolate meowed again, “Cursing your hateful mother!”
“Chocolate, can you tell me the reason?” Jiang Yuan’s eyes showed a hint of curiosity, “Why do you say she’s heartless and hateful?”
【 Oh? Something’s going on? 】
【 Great, I love seeing this stuff~~~ 】
【 So who is this blue cat cursing? 】
Chocolate discovered that the person on the phone screen could understand him, and he anxiously called out, “Can you ask Qi Qi not to go on blind dates?”
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, “Chocolate, you need to tell me the reason first.”
Fried Ice Cream blinked her eyes, her face full of confusion. She wanted to ask what was happening but was afraid of bothering Jiang Yuan and Chocolate’s communication, so she held back.
“Qi Qi’s mother…” Chocolate recounted what he had discovered.
Jiang Yuan’s eyebrows furrowed little by little, and a solemn expression appeared on her fair, clean face. Her lips pressed together tightly, and she could only think it was outrageous.
How could a biological mother treat her daughter like this? Such a preference for males?
【 The streamer’s expression is so serious, it seems like something big has happened! 】
【 So what did Chocolate say? 】
Fried Ice Cream was also a bit nervous. She had watched many of Jiang Yuan’s live streams and knew that in this situation, something bad must have happened.
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly tightened, as if clutched by an invisible big hand, beating rapidly and uneasily.
“Yuan Yuan, Chocolate…” Fried Ice Cream asked cautiously, “Who was Chocolate cursing?”
Jiang Yuan relaxed her brow and said softly, “It’s your family, someone very important to you.”
“Could it be my father?” Fried Ice Cream guessed.
Jiang Yuan shook her head, “It’s your mother.”
“My mother?” Fried Ice Cream’s eyes widened in surprise, “How is that possible? My mother is very good to me.”
Hearing her say that, Chocolate shook his fluffy head and sighed, “Silly Qi Qi, that’s all fake, you’ve been fooled by her!”
Jiang Yuan met the girl’s eyes, which were full of disbelief, and slowly said, “Qi Qi, have you been back to your hometown these past two days to prepare for a blind date?”
“Yes.” Fried Ice Cream nodded, “I haven’t had a partner for a long time, and this year is my birth year, so my parents started to worry and urged me to find someone. Especially my mother, she’s been very dedicated to this, and this blind date was arranged by her.”
Jiang Yuan subtly raised an eyebrow: “Have you ever thought about why your mother is so diligently arranging blind dates for you?”
“My mother explained it to me.” Fried Ice Cream’s mood relaxed, and the corner of her mouth turned up slightly, “She said that girls should pick and choose more while they’re young. If they reach thirty, they’ll only be the ones being chosen by men.”
【 Uh, I’m feeling offended as someone who’s still single at thirty-two! 】
【 Girl, your mother’s words are both right and wrong. The process of establishing a relationship between men and women is a mutual choice, and it’s not that you can’t choose others once you reach thirty. 】
【 Your mom is PUA-ing you. 】
【 Her mother must not be doing it for her own good, otherwise Chocolate wouldn’t be cursing her. 】
Jiang Yuan noticed that when Fried Ice Cream mentioned her mother, her eyebrows and eyes were filled with dependence and trust.
She pressed her lips together, “Qi Qi, you seem very dependent on your mother?”
“Yes.” Fried Ice Cream’s expression became a little more cheerful, “My mother is very good to me, even better than my father!”
Jiang Yuan always felt it was a bit strange that she used her father as a comparison to her mother’s kindness.
She thought for a moment and said with a smile, “Do you think your mother is better to you because your father’s care is all kept in his heart and not directly expressed?”
“Yuan Yuan.” Fried Ice Cream said seriously, “Actually, my mother isn’t my biological mother. When I was two years old, my birth mother ran off with someone. My father didn’t marry my current mother until I was five.”
【 It’s quite good that your stepmother has made such a good impression on you. 】
【 Those upstairs, don’t rush to praise. I feel like there’s something fishy. Chocolate must have discovered the stepmother’s dark side to curse her. 】
So it was a stepmother.
That explained why she would treat Fried Ice Cream this way.
Suddenly, Jiang Yuan felt a lot more relaxed, with a reduced burden.
She looked at the girl on the screen and said gently, “Qi Qi, your mother is urging you to get married not out of concern for you.”
“Huh?” Fried Ice Cream was dazed, “Not out of concern? Impossible, my mother is really good to me. Every time I go back to work, she prepares a lot of food for me to take away, and she often calls to tell me to eat on time, always wanting to send me food.”
【 Is there some misunderstanding… This stepmother sounds really good. 】
【 I still stick to my initial opinion: the stepmother is not a good person. 】
Jiang Yuan said helplessly, “Qi Qi, you haven’t sent less money home after getting your salary, have you?”
Fried Ice Cream explained, “I used to give my family five thousand yuan every month. Last year, because I bought a car and had to pay the car loan, I reduced it to two thousand yuan per month.”
Jiang Yuan: “That’s right. Chocolate overheard your stepmother chatting with her maternal family, saying that you’re not willing to send money home anymore and you’re occupying a room at home, and they want you to get married so that your room can be used by your younger brother.”
Fried Ice Cream’s eyelashes trembled, and her cheeks flushed with astonishment. She unconsciously murmured, “What…”
【 So the stepmother was good to Ice Cream for the money. 】
【 Now she dislikes her for less money and wants her to get married to make room for her son. 】
【 I’m most afraid of people like this who smile and hide a knife! 】
【 I knew the stepmother wasn’t a good person. 】
Fried Ice Cream looked at the bullet comments, feeling completely helpless, her eyes slightly reddening, her voice tinged with sobs, “Did Chocolate mishear?”
Chocolate’s fur bristled instantly, his whiskers twitching with anger, his orange-yellow cat pupils wide open, “Qi Qi, you’re an idiot, meow didn’t mishear, meow heard very clearly!”
“Chocolate didn’t mishear.” Jiang Yuan’s tone was calm, “Your stepmother said she was good to you, but it was only for the sake of her reputation and face, as well as the five thousand yuan you sent monthly. Now that it’s only two thousand yuan, she doesn’t care about it. Moreover, her two sons have grown up and want their own rooms, but there are only three rooms in the house, so she can only make you get married.”
