The next day, Zhong Chai took Xiao Cha home to meet his folks.
Father Zhong sulked in his study, declaring that he’d be damned if he ever saw Zhong Chai, the black sheep, let alone the vixen he’d brought back.
Mother Zhong had taken excellent care of herself, and she appeared gentle and virtuous. Her manner was proper for the occasion, and she never treated Xiao Cha like an outsider.
Mother Zhong: “As a child, our Xiao Chai was spoiled into being arrogant and willful, so he’s bad tempered and also a little bossy. I believe you are a good-tempered man, so please be patient with him. What’s more, he is now pregnant, so he cannot be upset.”
Zhong Chai: “…”
How could he pass up this opportunity?
Xiao Cha was a smooth and slick Alpha, and even thinking with his toes, he could infer that Zhong Chai must have found some reason to take him home.
Pregnancy before marriage was a family scandal that had to be kept hidden for these renowned families. But it was also a good excuse.
Xiao Cha: “Mom, rest assured. I promise to take good care of Xiao Chai so that he can focus on his work and not be troubled by these trivial things.”
Mother Zhong also saw that Xiao Cha was a very astute man, and she was concerned that her frank son would be unable to compete with him.
“This is the ancestral ring of our Zhong family,” Mother Zhong said as she pushed a jadeite ring into his hand, “I’ll pass it on to you now, you must take good care of it.”
It was simply not the moment to brush away an elder’s face.
“Yes, I absolutely will,” Xiao Cha said, readily going with the flow.
Mother Zhong: “Now that you have entered our Zhong family’s door, we are family.”
This implied he’d married into his wife’s family.

Xiao Cha: “Don’t worry, mom, Xiao Chai has the final say on everything at home, and I will never treat him badly.”

Mother Zhong: “I don’t know what tricks you used to deceive my son, but I advise you not to have other thoughts and do your job well. Our Zhong family will never mistreat you.”
Xiao Cha: “I am sincere to Xiao Chai and will treat him well.”
After all, your son is a moron. He would have cheated Zhong Chai out of his underwear by now if he truly wanted to.
Mother Zhong: “I hope you will do what you say, else falling from heaven to earth is just a matter of words.”
Xiao Cha smiled and nodded.
They both heard a door slam upstairs at the same time.
Father Zhong: “I don’t have a son like you!”
Zhong Chai: “I don’t think you want this grandson either!”
Father Zhong: “Ask that vixen to come up!”
Mother Zhong gave Xiao Cha a meaningful glance, and Xiao Cha obediently went upstairs.
Xiao Cha: “Dad, don’t get angry.”
Father Zhong: “Is Dad what you can call me?”
Zhong Chai: “Don’t be mean to him, he’s weak!”
Father Zhong: “You’re contradictory, you bastard! You’re actually speaking for outsiders!”
“He’s my wife!” Zhong Chai declared solemnly.
Xiao Cha: “Father-in-law, please put down the slipper first, let’s sit down and talk about it.”
Father Zhong: “I have nothing to say to you!”
At some point, Mother Zhong went upstairs and stood behind them with her arms folded, saying, “Zhong Chai’s father, you’re this old and still want to beat people with slippers?”
Father Zhong: “You don’t butt in!”
Mother Zhong said lazily: “Yesterday, your little lover sent me a message again, asking me not to be complacent, stating she’ll give birth to an Alpha for you to take my Xiao Chai’s place.”
Father Zhong’s face turned pale in an instant. He and Mother Zhong got married in the first place because Mother Zhong’s father held a high position, and he too relied on his father-in-law to make his fortune.
Hence, regardless of how many affairs he had, Zhong Chai’s status as the heir must be unshakeable.
Liu Shui’s illegitimate children didn’t get a penny, regardless of gender.
Not to mention the social butterflies who aspired to be “a mother gains esteem because of her son.”
Father Zhong’s tone softened slightly, “Xiao Chai, don’t worry, everything in the Zhong family belongs to you.”
Zhong Chai: “Then leave my marriage alone.”
Father Zhong: “How can you talk to your father like this?”
Xiao Cha knew he shouldn’t intervene at this point, so he smartly supported Zhong Chai with his hand without saying anything.
Father Zhong turned to face him and said: “You must look after Xiao Chai. I swear I’ll make you pay if anything bad happens to my son or grandson.”
Mother Zhong smiled apologetically: “Zhong Chai’s father is angry and saying unpleasant things. Xiao Cha, don’t mind him.”
Xiao Cha: You were more ruthless just now.
Xiao Cha realized it was time to step down at this point: “We’re actually in the wrong. We should have told you sooner.”
Zhong Chai wanted to say something, but Xiao Cha squeezed his fingers, forcing him to remain silent.
Father Zhong glared fiercely and returned to his study. Mother Zhong nodded, pleased: “In the future, you must inform us first about such important matters. Xiao Chai doesn’t care about anything but work. We’re only concerned about him as parents.”
Zhong Chai: “Mom, where am I careless?”
Xiao Cha: “Xiao Chai is straightforward and very good. I will help him take care of these things in the future.”
On the way back to the company, Xiao Cha breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhong Chai: “I really dislike talking to my relatives. They speak in a roundabout manner, like you just did, and are full of rubbish.”
Xiao Cha responded with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. I will tackle such situations from now on.”
The secretary behind the wheel: As expected of you, green tea A!
They are well balanced !
Full of rubbish lol yes, leave it to the wife from now on.
A well balanced couple
This is where green tea A comes in handy! XD
Hi, Chipoholic!
Just wanted to mention that under your clarification note for the A/O gender, you said something about ‘beats’ are also somewhere in there. I think it’s a typo and you meant to say ‘betas’ 😁
Hehe
So far, I’m enjoying this light-hearted read. Thank you.
