Chapter 205: The Official Meeting between Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law

“Yes, you are right . I will correct this,” Song Mian answered humbly .

Yun Xiangxiang rubbed her forehead . She didn’t want her father to keep on being so critical . She couldn’t imagine his face if he knew Song Mian started research because he was already a grandmaster in medicine .

However, if she stopped Yun Zhibin now, he would mistake it as her bias toward her boyfriend . She turned to her mother for help .

“He’s your daughter’s boyfriend, not your student . Can’t even shake the habit of lecturing even on vacation, can you?” Su Xiuling stepped up as mediator .

Yun Zhibin was even more upset . But he still wanted to look good before his wife and daughter, “Where are you working now?”

He should have a place he belongs to even if he’s doing research .

“My family runs a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinic . I work there as well,” Song Mian answered honestly .

“What are you researching about?” Yun Zhibin’s curiosity was piqued . He was interested in the spread of Chinese medicine .

“I’m researching leukemia right now,” Song Mian looked at Yun Xiangxiang . “It’s not about Chinese medicine . We are researching the cases that have a relatively higher rate of death and outbreak among patients . ”

“You’re saying that you guys are treating it objectively,” Yun Zhibin had a change in attitude .

“That is correct . ”

“Then what do you think about Western medicine?” Yun Zhibin continued .

“One of our old maxims can explain both types of medicines: everyone has their shortcomings and merits…”

“Your family is spreading TCM, but they acknowledge Western medicine too . Not bad…”

The two of them started chatting . Yun Zhibin was a teacher and he loved to read . He was no professional, but he was knowledgeable . Song Mian had unfathomable levels of knowledge himself .

As they chatted, Yun Zhibin raised his voice in agreement with some of Song Mian’s thoughts that were in line with his .

“There’s more than meets the eye about your boyfriend,” Su Xiuling was a woman with a keen eye .

“He’s passable,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled, but stayed humble .

Looking at her daughter’s broad smile, Su Xiuling pinched Yun Xiangxiang’s face . “Knowledgeable, gentlemanly, great taste, polite, and handsome too . ”

Yun Xiangxiang was stunned, “Handsome?”

She thought her parents never asked for great looks from their children’s partners .

“Why look for a normal one if you can land a handsome one,” Su Xiuling smiled at her daughter . Having him at home is soothing to the eyes too .

Naturally she didn’t care about looks . Normal was fine with her, as long as they were not wretched, and her children liked them .

But of course having great looks was a bonus . Everyone loved beauty, right?

“Mom, aren’t you worried that he’s too attractive?” Yun Xiangxiang was shocked .

“If an ugly guy wants to cheat, forget about him being a good guy . On the other hand, no matter how handsome he is, he won’t cheat as long as he keeps himself in line,” Su Xiuling thought of men this way .

As Yun Xiangxiang nodded, she stretched her neck to look at her father . “Mom, why did you marry dad back then?”

“In our time, being a teacher was secure and honorable work . Your dad looked fine back then, and he listened to me too,” Su Xiuling answered simply .

“Wasn’t it for love?” Yun Xiangxiang found it different from what she thought .

“Most couples married each other when they were of age back then . Your father and I liked each other coincidentally . We didn’t have as much time to build our feelings like you kids do . ” Su Xiuling couldn’t say there was no love between her and Yun Zhibin before marriage .

But of course they had affection for each other, and they thought their lover more or less met their expectations . Naturally they became a couple .

As for their married life, they had to work together . Love hits hard, then it slowly fades . A marriage and family needed patience to work

A marriage that worked would age like fine wine, even if it started ordinarily .

A marriage that failed would flow away like the sand, even if it had an explosive start .

Now that her daughter had started dating, Su Xiuling could share these with her . How far away in the future Yun Xiangxiang’s family lay didn’t stop her from talking .

“It’s the family’s blessing to have a mother who knows how to work it . ” When she thought of herself, Yun Lin, Yun Ting, how warm and happy this family was, she knew Su Xiuling was behind it .

She didn’t have a job or provided for them materially, but the spiritual provisions she gave to them and Yun Zhibin were priceless .

“Everyone’s different . Their thoughts are different too . You don’t have to follow my path . You have your own colorful life too,” Su Xiuling smiled at her daughter before taking the dish to the dining hall .

After the table was set up, Su Xiuling called Yun Zhibin and Song Mian . Yun Zhibin had something in mind . He asked Su Xiuling to get some alcohol . He and Song Mian downed a lot of liquor . Since Yun Zhibin didn’t stop, Song Mian had to drink with him .

Yun Xiangxiang knew Yun Zhibin was upset . She sat there, quiet as a mouse as she looked at both of them drinking .

“Dad can drink,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know why she couldn’t take any alcohol .

“But not me,” Su Xiuling answered Yun Xiangxiang’s question .

When Yun Xiangxiang thought about it, Su Xiuling never drank in public events . She avoided alcohol like the plague in public . “Mom, you aren’t like me when you’re drunk, right…?”

“Can’t even be quiet when you’re eating, can you?” Su Xiuling put a slice of beef in Yun Xiangxiang’s mouth .

Yun Xiangxiang ate it as she chuckled . So I took after mom . She was curious whether Yun Zhibin ever saw a drunk Su Xiuling .

Yun Zhibin and Song Mian finished a bottle of liquor . Both lay drunkenly on the table . Poor Wang Yong had to bring them to their rooms one by one .

Naturally, Yun Zhibin was sent to Yun Lin’s room . They couldn’t leave Song Mian in the living room nor send him to Ai Li and Song Qian’s room . Just his luck, he was sent to Yun Xiangxiang’s room .

While Su Xiuling brought some warm water to wipe Yun Zhibin’s face, Yun Xiangxiang went to see Song Mian .

Song Mian who looked like he was quietly sleeping pulled Yun Xiangxiang into his embrace the moment she leaned down . After turning around, he had Yun Xiangxiang tightly in his embrace .

“You were not drunk!” Yun Xiangxiang glared at the man who smelled like liquor .

“Father-in-law would be embarrassed if I didn’t pretend to be,” Song Mian chuckled . His breath was still filled with the smell of liquor .

“Let me go . You’ll get it if my mother sees this,” Yun Xiangxiang whispered a warning .

“Just let me hug you for a bit . Don’t worry . I’ll hear it if someone comes in,” Song Mian hugged Yun Xiangxiang tightly .
