If flowers bloom, youth will naturally follow.

When Qiao Tianyi came in, he saw this scene: the chubby boy had the old lady all smiles, and she held his hand and didn't want to let go.

Little Fatty is so cunning. He figured out that among the people in the room, Tianyi's mother didn't seem to like him much, his sister was rolling her eyes at him, and only the old lady genuinely liked him. So he had been focusing on winning over the old lady, leaving no room for error.

Although Tianyi's mother is the person you should get along with the most, winning over someone's close relatives is an important way to win them over, which is much more effective than confronting Tianyi's mother head-on.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, are you all here?" Qiao Tianyi greeted them with a smile.

"Yes, I'm chatting with Xiao Bao'er. Xiao Bao'er is such a sensible child," the old lady said, clearly smitten with the chubby boy.

"Hmph," Susan snorted coldly without even glancing at Qiao Tianyi.

Oh, little Fatty noticed this scene. It turns out that my future mother-in-law doesn't dislike me, but she's having a fight with her son, and I've been caught in the crossfire.

"That's good, that's good," Little Fatty sighed inwardly.

"Look how good my Tianyi is! He's sensible and capable, a hundred times better than his spendthrift brother. Whoever marries Tianyi will be blessed for eight lifetimes," the old lady said, holding the chubby boy's hand and subtly playing matchmaker.

"Yeah, Brother Tianyi is really amazing," Little Fatty thought, feeling both happy and conflicted, struggling to suppress his laughter.

Hearing her grandmother's blunt words to Xiao Pang and seeing the distorted look on Xiao Pang's face, Qiao Tianyi felt uneasy. What was she doing? Was she going to get engaged on the spot? Could a child handle this?

"By the way, Grandpa and Grandma, Ziwei and I have been reading in the library all day and haven't eaten yet. We'll go get something to eat first and come back later," Qiao Tianyi said, stepping in to save the little fat boy.

"Oh, you haven't eaten yet? Look how senile Grandma is! Little Bao, go eat with your brother Tianyi. Never mind, it's cold outside, let's eat here," the old lady said considerately. "Xiaoxue, take your sister and get some food for Little Bao. Little Bao, what do you like to eat?"

"Oh..." Bai Xue reluctantly stood up, her already somewhat unhappy face turning into a dark one, her tone full of displeasure. "Me, a dignified little princess, serving you dishes?!"

"No need, no need, Grandma, Tianyi and I will just go out to eat," Little Fatty said helplessly. Goodness, this old lady is too kind and has made enemies for no reason.

"Okay, go ahead, go ahead, eat more. Look at your thin arms and legs, you're too skinny," the old lady said, pinching the little fat boy's arms, which were no longer as thin as sticks.

With a bang, the door slammed shut, and Qiao Tianyi fled in panic with the little fat boy.

"See? Who said he's stupid? He dotes on his wife!" Jiang Ziyi said proudly.

A burst of laughter reached the ears of the two who hadn't gone far.

The old lady was extremely satisfied: "This child is good, sensible, and obedient. Our Tianyi is too honest. I've always been worried that he'll be bullied after he gets married."

Bai Xue curled her lip in disdain: "Hmph, I don't like it. It's ugly and it lies."

"Shut up, who gave you the right to dislike it, you monster?" Jiang Ziyi snorted coldly, which made Bai Xue shrink back and mutter softly, "Hmph, anyway, I don't like it."

Why is Bai Xue so afraid of Jiang Ziyi? She's been traumatized by her.

At this point, most of the characters from Little Fatty's future mother-in-law's family have made their appearance.

The relationships within their family are quite complex. I'll carefully analyze them for you, dear readers, to see if they make sense.

Before meeting Xiao Pang, Jiang Ziyi couldn't accept her father's divorce and remarriage, so she hated her father and, by extension, her younger brother.

Jiang Ziyi certainly hated Susan, her stepmother (she was young then and didn't know that her parents' situation was not a simple divorce and remarriage; otherwise, she probably would have hated her biological mother as well, which would have been terrible and could have led to depression). Seeing that she had caused little Jiang Ziyi to suffer, Susan naturally became even more tolerant of her. Even after giving birth to Qiao Tianyi, she took care of him after sending him back to his parents' home, successfully softening the irritable little Jiang Ziyi. Therefore, Jiang Ziyi liked Susan very much.

Qiao Tianyi has been sensible since he was a child. After all, his mother caused Jiang Ziyi to become a single-parent family, so he has always felt guilty towards Jiang Ziyi.

As for Bai Xue, her mother, Su Wu, was a workaholic who divorced shortly after Bai Xue was born. Bai Xue interfered with her work, so she sent the child back to her parents' home. Susan felt sorry for her elderly mother raising two children, so she simply took Bai Xue home and raised her herself.

Therefore, Bai Xue is actually Jiang Ziyi's little sister. Others may pity her, but Jiang Ziyi doesn't tolerate it. Can anyone pity her more than me, Yi Yi? So when she hit Bai Xue, she really went all out. She hit her without warning, and even Susan didn't dare to stop her. Xiao Bai couldn't stand it anymore and sent Jiang Ziyi back to her parents' home.

So Bai Xue was as afraid of Jiang Ziyi as a mouse was of a cat; she would tremble all over at the slightest glare from her.
