Chapter 147 A Rare Son-in-Law
When Zhu Tingyue entered, the most shocked person was not Madam Shen or Shen Yanzhen, but Shen Yingchu.
"Yanqiu, why are you back today?"
Zhu Tingyue was annoyed by his poor communication skills, but on this joyous occasion, she decided to be magnanimous and not hold it against him.
Clearing her throat, Zhu Tingyue said in a serious tone, "I'm back to announce something."
Her gaze swept over the people present, and she said calmly, "I have a child! The baby's one-month celebration is on the 5th of next month. You are all welcome to attend!"
what?
The three looked at each other in bewilderment.
A child? Shen Yanqiu's? A month old? When did this happen?
Shen Yingchu was the first to react: "Yan Qiu, you can't say things like that."
Zhu Tingyue said with a serious expression, "I'm not making this up. Look, it's legal!"
She pulled out the freshly issued, still-warm marriage certificate from her pocket and showed it to the group.
Shen Yingchu took it, her trembling hands carefully turning it over, and unexpectedly saw a photo of Zhu Tingyue!
He suddenly turned his head and raised his voice: "Have you... have you spoken to their parents about this? Will the Zhu family agree?"
When Madam Shen saw the photo, she had the same thought. How could Zhu Mingchuan, who doted on his daughter, possibly agree to Zhu Tingyue and Shen Yanqiu being together? And even let them have a child?
Zhu Tingyue sat down casually and asked Shen Yingchu, "Why do you think that? Is it because I'm an illegitimate child? That I'm not good enough for Zhu Tingyue?"
Her words struck a nerve with Shen Yingchu, and he hurriedly tried to cover it up: "No, that's not what I meant."
"Everyone says that Zhu Mingchuan treats his daughter like a precious gem. Now that you've got your marriage certificate, I'm worried he might have a problem with our family."
"Moreover, since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. Although times have changed, families like ours still need to meet with the other party's parents and discuss things."
Zhu Tingyue didn't take it to heart: "I don't need you to discuss it with me, I've already made up my mind! Dad approves of me immensely! He says I'm a good son-in-law, one of the best in the world!"
Zhu Tingyue spared no effort in embellishing her own image, knowing that her father wouldn't object anyway.
Now it was Shen Yingchu's turn to be at a loss. He stammered, "Dad? Zhu Mingchuan?"
Zhu Tingyue casually picked up a grape and ate it: "Mmm."
Shen Yingchu didn't know what to feel. Her son, whom she had just recognized, was going against her every day, whether at home or at the company.
He hadn't been away for more than two days when he found himself a father, calling him affectionately, which brought tears to his eyes.
Shen Yingchu wanted to sigh, but also felt ashamed.
Madam Shen realized that she had underestimated this young man; how could he possibly have the ability to handle Zhu Mingchuan?
Shen Yanzhen, who had been watching from the sidelines, was no less shocked than they were, but he grasped the key point: "What's the child's name? The Shen family is making preparations for the full moon celebration!"
Zhu Tingyue waved her hand: "Thank you for your kindness, but the full moon celebration will be held at the Zhu family home. You just need to attend!"
Shen Yingchu suddenly realized what was happening, but he was so shocked that he hadn't asked about the child yet.
"What's the child's name? He can't possibly still have the surname Zhu, can he?"
Looking into his expectant eyes, Zhu Tingyue suddenly didn't want to ask directly, "Then what will the child born to Zhu Tingyue take if not the surname Zhu?"
Shen Yingchu seemed to have suffered an unbearable blow, collapsing to the ground in despair, her face ashen, muttering, "No! Absolutely not!"
Zhu Tingyue didn't care whether it was okay or not; if she said it was okay, then it was okay!
Without looking at him again, Zhu Tingyue clapped her hands and was about to leave.
