Chapter 632 - 566: The Early Deceased First Wife in ’Son-in-law’ 29
"What would you like to eat?" Qin Ye asked in a soft voice, his eyes somewhat uncontrollable... struggling to leave her face, which was like a lotus emerging from water.
But he feared that looking too long might annoy her.
"Let’s just eat here!" Rong Yan pointed to a dine-in restaurant not far away.
She felt like eating now.
Qin Ye immediately nodded, "Okay, then let’s go to that one."
Over at Wang family’s side, Wang Wei thought about Qin Ye coming to their home today and took extra care to dress up.
She was confident that she could win Qin Ye over because her looks were not in any way inferior.
Right, in her past life, at this time, Qin Ye was dressed in tattered clothes when he came to her house, which made her look down on him.
This time if he came... She must not show that look of disdain.
In the future, she planned to wait for Qin Ye to earn money for her to spend.
Rong Xuefeng watched her daughter dressed up so beautifully and felt very pleased, so she asked, "Weiwei seems very happy today, are you going out to have fun?"
"Mom, I’m not going out, I’m staying at home today!" To prevent further questioning, she quickly changed the subject, "Mom, when will you and dad go pick up Rong Yan again?"
As soon as she uttered these words, the smile on Rong Xuefeng’s face disappeared.
"...In a few days, when your father takes leave, we’ll go."
She had thought it over; since Old Wang wanted to acknowledge her, then they would bring her back, and the house would have one more person eating.
It wasn’t like they couldn’t afford it.
Besides, Old Wang was right; their family only had these two sisters, and it would be good for them to support each other in the future.
Wang Wei’s eyes flickered, "I’ve heard Rong Yan’s grades are really good, but I wonder how well she did on her exams? It’s a pity I didn’t do well; otherwise, I could have gone to university with her."
She then sighed, "Ah, it would have been great if I could have gotten into Jing City University. Later, when I find a good job, I will definitely give all my salary to Mom and Dad, so you can enjoy a better life. In the future, when selecting a son-in-law, I will ensure that my children will carry the Wang surname."
Rong Xuefeng was very moved by her words. Indeed, she was worthy of being the child she raised. So filial.
Especially the part about selecting a son-in-law and keeping the Wang surname deeply touched her.
Not having a son had been the pain of her life, and she regretted not being able to have more children later.
If they were to select a son-in-law, then she and her husband could deliver some form of legacy for the Wang family.
"Does Weiwei really want to select a son-in-law?"
If the old Wang Wei had been asked about this, she would have been shy and likely refused.
After all, how could a man with good family background and prospects agree to become a son-in-law belonging to someone else’s family?
But now it was different; she knew that Qin Ye would make a lot of money in the future, so she had no aversion to the idea of having Qin Ye as a son-in-law.
"Mom, for the sake of our Wang family, of course, I am willing to select a son-in-law, it’s just a pity that I won’t be able to attend a good university. Otherwise, your grandson could have had a mother with a high level of education as well. Ah, if only I had good grades like Rong Yan! A mother’s success would bring glory to her son."
Rong Xuefeng thought about her daughter’s grades and found it difficult to lie to herself and say that she would do very well.
It was really hard to expect her to even get into a decent college.
However, Weiwei’s words touched her... She seemed to have heard that Rong Yan’s grades were very good. What if they switched places?
Wouldn’t Weiwei be able to go to university then?
Compared to sending Rong Yan, the daughter with whom she shared no closeness, to university, she would much prefer her beloved Weiwei, whom she had raised with her own hands, to have that opportunity.
After giving it some thought, she completely lost any aversion she might have had to the idea of bringing the person back.
Looking up with utmost affection at her daughter, she said, "You will definitely be admitted to a good university."
Hearing this, the smile on Wang Wei’s face became even more genuine.
In her past life, she had just kept saying that, and as a result, that foolish woman ended up handing over the university admission notice to her.
"Thank you, Mom, I hope to get into a good university too, so I can be even more filial to you."
Just then, Wang Jinglin came in carrying groceries, "What are you mother and daughter chatting about? You both look so happy."
Wang Wei immediately said, "Dad, Mom and I were discussing... when are you going to bring Rong Yan back? I plan to give her some of my favorite new clothes to wear!"
The thought of giving the clothes she would no longer wear to that country girl filled her with pleasure.
Wang Jinglin paused for a moment, but seeing expectation instead of reluctance on her face, he felt particularly relieved.
"Let’s wait for this Friday then! I’ll ask for another day off at work."
"Then ask for a few more days, but I requested so many days off last time, and I can’t ask again this time, otherwise I won’t get my year-end bonus. So, you go alone and just bring more money with you."
Actually, he could ask for the time off, a simple explanation would suffice, but the thought of that girl’s stubbornness made him somewhat reluctant to see her.
Wang Jinglin was already quite happy that she agreed to bring the person back, so he didn’t mind whether she went or not.
Moreover, he thought it would be even better if she didn’t go.
Because the last time the mother and daughter had some conflicts, he believed that if he went alone, Rong Yan would likely be more amenable to talking.
She might just agree to come back home with him.
"That’s settled, then."
With that matter discussed, Wang Wei had another thing in mind, namely that Qin Ye was supposed to arrive today.
"Dad, didn’t you have a friend with the last name Qin before? Has Uncle Qin’s family not been in touch with you?"
Wang Jinglin looked at her with some surprise, "You know about your Uncle Qin?"
Wang Wei promptly replied, "Well, I heard you and Mom talking about them before. Haven’t they contacted us at all?"
Wang Jinglin sighed, "Your Uncle Qin passed away three years ago, leaving only Qin Ye behind. I have no idea how he’s getting along."
Wang Wei felt somewhat impatient in her heart, as she didn’t like hearing these irrelevant matters, and she shyly asked, "Dad, doesn’t our family have a marriage arrangement with Uncle Qin’s family?"
Wang Jinglin was startled, "Indeed, there is one!"
Wang Wei wanted to sort this out, disregarding everything else.
"Dad, I’ve talked to Mom about it already, I want to bring in a son-in-law in the future, so my first child will carry the Wang surname. So, if there’s no one in Qin Ye’s family, let Qin Ye become our son-in-law!"
Both her parents were taken aback by this suggestion.
To be frank, if it were someone else, they would definitely think it’s shameless for a young woman to talk about such things.
But the moment it was mentioned that the child would carry the surname Wang, Wang Jinglin was very tempted.
Wang Wei knew this would surely sway him.
So she pressed on.
"Dad, when we talk about bringing in a son-in-law, people from Jing City certainly wouldn’t agree, but Qin Ye is different. He’s all alone with no family. Bringing him in as a son-in-law not only gives him a home but also allows us to take better care of him."
