Jiang Haichuan quickly waved his hands and said between breaths,
"There's no need, Ning'er. Why make you run back and forth? We just took the coach here, then grabbed a taxi with our luggage. Your mother and I aren't tired at all."
"Dad, Mom, let me introduce you."
Jiang Ning smiled as he introduced both families.
"These are my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Su Yunlong immediately stepped forward with a warm smile and firmly shook Jiang Haichuan's hand.
"Hello, in-law. You must've had a tiring journey. Jiang Ning only returned from a business trip to Kyoto this morning. If we'd known you were coming today, I'd have had Xiaomeng drive over to pick you up yesterday."
Jiang Haichuan hurriedly wiped his hands on his pants before shaking Su Yunlong's.
"Hello, in-law. It's alright. Xiaomeng is busy with work. We shouldn't trouble the young people. My wife and I can manage just fine."
Meanwhile, Liu Mengyan warmly took Ye Shulan's hand.
"In-law, you must be exhausted. Come inside first."
Ye Shulan looked at her with admiration.
"You've taken such good care of yourself. You look wonderful."
Liu Mengyan laughed.
"Oh, stop it. We're all getting old. What beauty is left?"
Without another word, Jiang Ning took the burlap sacks from his parents.
One of them even contained several live chickens and ducks, but he casually slung both sacks over his shoulder as if they weighed nothing.
"Come on, Dad, Mom."
"I'll cook tonight."
"I'll prepare a huge feast and pair it with my homemade wine."
"I guarantee you've never tasted anything this delicious."
Jiang Haichuan chuckled.
"Your mother also brought quite a bit of homemade wine."
Su Yunlong's eyes immediately lit up.
"In-law, you've raised an incredible son."
"I've never tasted wine as good as Jiang Ning's."
"I suppose he learned from his mother?"
As he spoke, his gaze repeatedly drifted toward the sacks on Jiang Ning's shoulder.
If Jiang Ning's wine was already this amazing...
Surely his mother brewed even better wine.
He secretly decided to ask for a few bottles later that evening.
Jiang Haichuan nodded proudly.
"That's right."
"When Ning'er was little, he was always helping his mother brew wine."
...
Soon, everyone arrived in front of the villa.
Seeing the luxurious mansion, Jiang Haichuan and Ye Shulan froze.
They couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Our son really married well...
Fortunately, both their in-laws and Su Meng seemed kind and easygoing.
Then they remembered Jiang Ning's livestreams.
He had mentioned earning quite a lot of money himself and even owning another villa within the same community.
That eased the worry they had secretly carried—that their son might be looked down upon after marrying into a wealthy family.
Exchanging a glance, the elderly couple visibly relaxed.
Jiang Ning immediately understood what was on their minds.
"Dad, Mom."
"Since you're here, why don't you stay for a while?"
"You can live in my Villa A17."
"It's fully furnished, and nobody usually stays there."
"You can help me look after it."
He knew his parents had come from the countryside.
Living under the same roof as their in-laws would inevitably make them feel uncomfortable.
That was why he deliberately made this arrangement.
"Alright."
"We'll stay there."
Jiang Haichuan smiled.
"Your mother and I can tidy the place up for you."
"It'll probably become a mouse nest if no one's living there."
In their minds, the villa they had just entered belonged to their daughter-in-law.
As the groom's parents, living together with their in-laws simply felt awkward.
Since their son owned his own villa nearby...
They would have their own private space.
And somehow...
Living in their son's house felt completely different from living in their daughter-in-law's house.
...
After entering the villa, Jiang Ning tied the chickens' and ducks' legs together and left them on the lawn in the courtyard.
He carried all the vegetables and wine into the kitchen.
Then he quietly took a few extra vegetables out of his system storage and placed them inside the refrigerator.
"Please, have a seat."
Su Yunlong greeted them enthusiastically.
"You've traveled a long way."
"Thank you."
"Not at all."
Jiang Haichuan smiled politely.
Ye Shulan couldn't hold back any longer.
"Ning'er..."
"Where's Mengmeng?"
Ever since Jiang Ning had taken Mengmeng back to their hometown, she had adored the little girl.
Now that she knew Mengmeng was truly her biological granddaughter...
She couldn't wait to see her again.
"Mom."
"She's taking her afternoon nap."
"But she should be waking up soon."
"I'll go get her."
Ye Shulan quickly stopped him.
"Don't."
"If she's still asleep, let her sleep."
"I'm not in a hurry."
Although she said so...
Her eyes remained fixed on the staircase.
Jiang Ning instantly saw through her thoughts.
"Mom."
"This is usually when she wakes up anyway."
"She's probably already awake."
"I'll just help her get dressed."
Ye Shulan still reminded him carefully,
"If she's still sleeping, don't wake her."
"Let her sleep until she's rested."
"I know, Mom."
Jiang Ning smiled before heading toward the elevator.
Watching him ride the elevator upstairs, Ye Shulan found the scene both novel and amusing.
Rich people really are lazy...
It's only the second floor, yet they install an elevator instead of taking the stairs.
Liu Mengyan handed her a cup of tea.
"In-law, have some tea."
"Thank you."
"You should have some too."
Soon, the four parents began chatting merrily together.
With a soft creak, Jiang Ning gently pushed open Mengmeng's bedroom door.
The little girl was already awake.
Her bright eyes immediately landed on him.
She grinned sweetly.
"Hehe, Daddy!"
"Mengmeng didn't sleep in!"
"Mengmeng isn't a little lazy bug!"
Her familiar childish voice instantly filled Jiang Ning's heart with warmth.
He lovingly rubbed her tiny head.
"Of course not."
"My Mengmeng could never be a lazy bug."
"You're Daddy's sweetest and most wonderful little girl."
Mengmeng nodded vigorously.
"Mhm!"
Ding!
Congratulations! You earned 5 Daddy Points from Mengmeng.
Jiang Ning couldn't help smiling.
Just one compliment...
And I earned enough Daddy Points for another Spirit Fruit Seed.
He continued,
"Mengmeng."
"Come on."
"Daddy will help you get dressed."
"You know what?"
"Grandpa and Grandma came to visit you."
"They even brought lots of chickens and ducks."
"They're going to make delicious soup for you."
Mengmeng's eyes immediately sparkled.
"Really?"
"Grandpa and Grandma really came to see Mengmeng?"
Jiang Ning nodded.
"Of course."
"They're downstairs right now."
"Hehe!"
"Daddy!"
"Hurry and dress Mengmeng!"
"Mengmeng wants to see Grandpa and Grandma right now!"
"Oh!"
"And Daddy..."
"You have to braid my hair into a super pretty braid!"
Jiang Ning laughed.
"Alright."
"Daddy will make our little princess look beautiful."
"How about wearing the outfits we picked together at the mall?"
"The ones Daddy, Mommy, and Mengmeng chose together."
"Okay! Okay!"
"They're Mengmeng's favorite!"
The little girl cheered excitedly.
Ever since buying them, she had been reluctant to wear them.
She was afraid they might get dirty or wrinkled.
After all...
They were the very first clothes her father had ever chosen with her.
And to Mengmeng...
That made them priceless.
