Chapter 887: In Any Case, the First Child…
“There’s so many people here, I’ll go buy a bigger table in a bit.” Zhang Jiasen helped his father out of this situation, then said, “Right? Miaomiao?”
Ning Shu grimaced slightly and lowered her head, ignoring what Zhang Jiasen said.
A trace of anger flashed across Zhang Jiasen’s face but he still said, “Let’s eat, let’s eat.”
The moment Zhang Jiasen said that, everyone reacted like they had been starved for a long time and started shoveling food into their mouths. Even the shy and humble Zhang Wenlan stood by the table and kept getting food for her daughter.
Ning Shu didn’t move her chopsticks, so Zhang Jiasen got some food and placed it in her bowl. At this point, she finally started eating it slowly.
Zhang Jiasen’s mother already had her mouth covered with oil from the food and at this time, she said to Ning Shu, “From now on, you should stay in the house properly and don’t run around outside. Hurry and give birth to a child.”
Ning Shu set down her chopsticks and calmly used a napkin to wipe her mouth before saying, “I need to go to work at the company. The matter of giving birth to a child can wait until later.”
Zhang Jiasen’s mother glowered at Ning Shu sternly. “Women should stay at home and serve the men. What kind of behavior is running about all day? If you don’t give birth to a child, could it be that you want the Zhang family to go extinct?”
Ning Shu: …
It was so infuriating, but she still had to maintain a smile. She smiled maliciously as she said, “In any case, the first child will have Miao as the family name and will be a child of the Miao family, so I can have the child whenever I decide to.”
Ning Shu’s words stunned everyone at the dinner table. Zhang Jiasen’s parents looked at her disapprovingly and Zhang Jiasen’s mother shouted angrily, “It’s the Zhang family’s seed, why should it have the surname Miao?”
“Jiasen, what is this about?” Zhang Jiasen’s father directed this question towards Zhang Jiasen.
Ning Shu made a surprised expression. “You didn’t know? Back then my dad said that the first child Jiasen and I have must have the surname Miao. Jiasen agreed, which was why we were able to get married.”
“Miaomiao,” said Zhang Jiasen in a low warning tone.
Ning Shu lifted her wrist and glanced at her watch. “I should get back to work. Enjoy the meal.”
Ning Shu got her bag and left. Zhang Jiasen ran after her.
“Miaomiao, Miaomiao, wait.” Zhang Jiasen jogged to catch up with Ning Shu. When he saw that she was about to open the car door, he pressed it closed.
Ning Shu looked towards Zhang Jiasen. Zhang Jiasen frowned slightly, then softened his tone. “Miaomiao, don’t be angry alright? My parents are from the countryside, so they tend to be more obstinate about certain things. That’s why I hadn’t dared to tell them about this. In the future if there’s something, you should discuss with me first. That way things won’t end up as bad as they were today.”
Ning Shu was about to explode from anger. You only agreed to Father Miao’s demand because you had ulterior motives in the first place, but now he was blaming her for it like he had been forced to do these things. Ning Shu said coldly, “You didn’t tell me either that your parents were coming. I was the last to know after they all arrived. Why don’t you ever discuss things with me?”
“Miaomiao, you didn’t used to be like this.” Zhang Jiasen furrowed his brows with a slightly disappointed expression. “You didn’t used to be so unreasonable.”
Ning Shu: Pfff…
